t i * THURSDAY, APRIL 23RD, 1936 The Barnwell People-Sentinel JOHN W. HOLMES 1840—1912. B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months .50 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, APRIL 23RI), 1936. Non-Support of Newspapers. Alx>ut u month Publisher Mc- Sweeney of the Allendale County Citizen, the Hampton County Guar dian andi the Jasper County Herald, inaugurated a subscription campaign, offerinp: a number of valuable prizes to contestants, including the thoice of u Ford or Chevrolet automobile. Last week he called off the campaign be cause of lack of interest on the part of contestants and subscribers. Sever al years ago the then publisher of the Williston Way started a similar cam paign nd wa s forced to abandon it for a like reason. , We suspect that the lack of interest on the part of contestants was engen dered by the failure or refusal of sub scribers to pay their just dues. And just why any honest person will accept a newspaper month after month and feel no obligation whatever to pay the publisher for the service rendered is beyond our comprehension. It costs good money these days to publish an acceptable weekly newspaper and the small subscription price charged does not nearly cover the costs. The dif ference must be made up from the revenue received frtim advertising and job printing. And as far as "local” advertising is concerned, it is almost as diea^i in many towns as the proverbial dodo and reliance is placed mostly upon "foreign” and legal advertising. As to job printing, many admittedly good business men prefer to patronize out- of-town and mail-order concerns rather than their local printer, while at the same time decrying the fact that sj much of the business to which they are entitled goes to the cities. There are probably merchants in every town where printshops are located who go to printers in neighboring towns to have them print circulars advertising sales by which they hope to attract heme dollars to their stores. After all, a newspaper is a com munity enterprise, dedicated to the upbuilding of the community. All other considerations aside, for that reason alone it is entitled to the sup port of the public—subscribers and advertisers alike—provided, of course, it is a newspaper worthy of the name. (We never have been in sympathy with the idea of “giving” the publisher an advertisement "t.j help him out.”) The fact that the publisher may make a decent living if. subscribers pay their dues and business men advertise and buy their printing locally is incidental. All good newspaper men use a good part of their increased revenue to fur ther improve their newspaper. Starv ing them of the busines g to which they are entitled compels the publishers to lower the standard! of their publica tions. The People-Sentinel has a number of past due subscription accounts. We- would like to collect the money and further improve the paper. We have the equipment to do creditable job printing and are always ready and willing to meet reasonable competi tion. We would like rhbJiave more cf our local business men wnb profess to believe in the trade-at-home idea to spend their printing dollars with us It would enable us and cur employes to spend more with them. A Good Resolution. The South Carolina house of repre sentatives last week adopted a resolu tion endbrsing a bill introduced in the United States senate by Senator Rey nolds,' of North Carolina, requiring aliens to "get American or get out.” Under the terms of the Reynolds bill, tall aliens convicted of crimes or who have certain diseases or belong to or ganizations pledged to the overthrow of our form of government will be promptly deported. We would like to see an even mere stringent law—one that would require aliens to be natur alized within a reasonable length of time, if they prove themselves to be worthy citizens, or face immediate de portation. It has been charged that there are hundred^ of thousands of aliens em ployed in this country while native- born American citizens are jobless and that other hundreds of thousands are on the relief rolls at the expense of the American taxpayers. This could not happen in any other country but the United States, fer the instant that an American citizen Secame an object of charity in a foreign country he w r ould be immediately deported. It is claimed that Uncle Sam would have saved millions cf dollars in relief money if these jobless aliens had been returned to their native lands at gov ernment expense. Just why we should continue to play Santa Claus to the citizens and sub jects of ungrateful nations is beyond the comprehension of any reasonably sane man. We hope that Senator Rey nolds’ bill will be enacted—and en forced. «X~X M X~X~X~X~X M X~X~X**X~X~X‘ Triple “C” New* Note* --—^ —-Now C. Q. , Lieut. C. A. Ritchie arrived on Mon day, April 13th. He is to take com mand of Co. 4468, replacing Capt. Ed ward Sanders, whese tour of duty ex pires on the 21st. Captain Sander s will be greatly missed by the boys. He took command of this company when it was formed in July 1935, and has been with it since that time. He was always kind and thoughtful ofHhe boys, and was very popular with them and with the foresters. In December he was pro moted from the rank of 1st lieutenant to that of captain, but he still re mained the same. We are sorry to see him go. At the same time we extend a w r arm welcome to Lieut. Ritchie. Our new C. O. is. from Statesville, N. C., is a 1 graduate of Davidson, and has had two other tour s of duty in the CCC. We will work for him as we did for the Captain. Lieut. Cor. Dunn was here Monday of this week for a short inspection trip. Captain Love, of the district quartermaster’s office was here for one day to supervise the check up and turn over of property incident to the change of commanding officers. The educational program i g going strong with the forestry department holding discussions, or round table talks. Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Carter are holding classes ’ in the school house, and Mr. Bryan is holding meet ings in the recreation hall and the barracks. This week there was good attendance in all activities. , The work this week was substantial ly the same as it was last week. Ten mei) of the camp under Mr. Edgerton are working on tower construction. Sometimes they work at the Barnwell tower and sometimes at the Elko tow er. Another 10 men under Mr. Mur ray are engaged in constructing the buildings around the Elko tower; this is the “carpenter’s detail.” The bulk of the men in this camp, about 30, are working under Mr. ; Matthews, on a truck trail. There are in addition, a couple of men detailed to Mr. Nevils, for work around camp, the army and forestry overheads. At the side camp at Luray, Mr. Padgett is in charge o( about 30 men working on a truck trail, and some times, when the weather does not per mit work on the truck trails, tearing tibwn the unused barracks in that i* ■ camp. The lumber from these build ings will be salvaged and used to con struct smokehouses, etc., around vari ous towenrs. 1 At the side camp at Stokes, two crews under Mr. Pearson and Mr, Padget, are both engaged in the con struction cf a truck trail. The work there has been very slow lately, because the trail ha s been through very low places. For several hun- dfred yards a fill is being made, and will be covered with “corduroys” be fore any sort of road can be made. The water in places is three or four feet deep. Arthur Riddcck Reporter.

Owned by A. H. Go**, The Oaklands, Ann Arbor, Mich. T HERE are plenty of Jersey bulls in America, but only one among all the thousands, stands out as National Champion. Foremost Highflyer won 1935 honors at the National Dairy Show, St. Louis, Mo.—a magnificent creature to which Nature gave the vital spark, the perfect natural balance of all the elements that go to make a champion. Wonderful top line, great body, fine neck, shoulders, big barreled, good on his legs Foremost Highflyer had everything! Most bulls are just bulls, average strong, average good, but just plain ordinary bulls. There is only one Foremost Highflyer. He stands out the King of them all—the champion. i# The champion bull is Nature at her best—one of Nature’s wonder creations. Favored by Nature, with her priceless gift of perfect natural balance, the champion is almost beyond price, while another bull that may look a little like him—well, he’s just bull, that’s all. And hfre is another wonder-creation of Nature—Natural Chilean Nitrate. Like the champion bull, Natural Chilean is favored by Nature with that priceless gift of natural balance— natural blend of many elements such as boron, calcium, manganese, etc., over and above its nitrogen. Nature gave the vital spark to this nitrogen fertilizer by blending into it these vital impurities. Nature herself aged it, cured it ... tliat’s w hy Natural Chilean is the natural food for your crops. Natural Chilean contains almost two score of major and minor elements such as boron, magnesium, manga nese, iodine, calcium, potassium, etc.—each a vital ele ment in growth and healthy development of plants.
