position. His selection to the post
was in recognition of his vital inter
est in rural electrification over a
period of many years. Last month
he was elected as a delegate to the
National Democratic Convention from
the Second Congressional District.
In addition to hi s legislative duties,
Mr. Smith is a leading business man
and farmer, being a director of the
Citizen s and Southern National Bank
of Augusta.
Two years ago, John K. Aull, vet
eran newspaper man of Columbia,
wrote the following: “Oyer in the
house, Barnwell County this session
hn s distinguished herself by her two
representatives, Sol Blatt and Win
chester C. Smith. Both these gen,
Uemen have taken a prominent part
in legislation; both have weilded an
influence which has had its effect upon
legislation.” What Mr. Aull wrote
then is equally true of their influence
in the session now drawing to a close,
and both of these gentlemen are pre
pared to give accounts of their stew
ardship if and when the occasion
arises.
Mr. Smith’s formal announcement
will be found elsewhere in this issue
of The People-Sentinel.
Triple “C” News Notes
(By Arthur Ridkiock, Reporter.)
Dance Coming Up.
Preparations are about complete
for another dance at the Barnwell
Camp Friday, June 5th. George Hall’s
Orchestra from Batesburg, will fur
nish the music. This band has been
playing at Blackville for some time,
and according to all accounts i s a
first rate outfit. This will be their
first engagement for company 1168.,
and their first, in Barnwell in some
time. George McCormack, of Black-!
ville, is the manager.
The dance at Walterboro on Friday,
May 22nd, was such a big success
that the committee from the main
camp will have a hard time beating
it. Frank Merchant has been in
charge, and ha s been ably assisted by
Bill Kearse, Leonard Dunn, Thompson
Siegler and Albert Griffin. They say
this will be the'best yet.
Baseball Game.
Barnwell lost again Saturday on the
local diamond, this time to the boys
from Edisto. The home camp boys
started off strong, but in the fifth in
ning the visitors got away with five
runs, to make the score 5-4 in their
favor. They made seven more in the
sixth, and those 12 were enough to
win. Barnwell scored three in the
first, one in the third, one in the
sixth, to total 6 to 12.
It look s as if the disadvantage of
having the men divided between three
locations, so that the whole team never
practice together, i s a handicap that
Barnwell will find hard to overcome.
Potter started off pitching for the
visitors, and was relieved by Lord af
ter the disastrous sixth. That inning
in which so many run s were made can
not be blamed on the pitcher, however,
as plenty of fumbles and error s of all
kinds contributed to the visitor’s runs.
The locals just let up for a couple of
innings, and it was too bad. Jones
pitched' steady ball for Edisto all the
way through, and was given fairly
consistent support.
Stunt Night.
We had our regular weekly stunt
nigljt Wednesday night, consisting
this time mainly of musical numbers.
Mr. Bryan made hi s talk on Current
Events, and we had a little discussion
on parole and pardoning of prisoners,
and then Mays and Davis, two of the
new boys started off with a song
number. The program wa s informal
and largely extemporaneous. Some
of the numbers were selections on the
fiddle by “Peavine” Teal, mouth organ
numbers by Giles, also by Fowler
Boone, dances by Fowler Beene, Dunn
and Mr. Bryan, and 1 selections cn the
guitar by “Minus” Rawlinson.
We are glad to announce that Mrs.
Maude Patterson is back w’ith us every
evening after being off for a couple
of weeks.
Dr. Ralph Brown has moved to this
camp from Montmorenci. After fin
ishing his tour, Lieut. Brown expects
to practice medicine in Barnwell.
Mrs. Brown is expected to move to
Barnwell shortly.
Mrs. Charles A. Ritchie, command
ing officer of our commanding offi
cer, arrived in town on Sunday. Now
will you be good?
Everett Teal, brother of “Peavine”
Teal, and football star at Furman, is
in camp for a few days.
Mr. Bryan’s brother, Louis, came
down from Carolina to spend Sun
day night and went back in Mr. Bry
an’s car. ,
