PAGF FIGHT. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST IS. 1M«. LEGION POST ELECTS COMMENTS ON MEN AND NEWS By SPECTATOR. Triple “C” News Notes (By Arthur Ricdock, Reporter.) Great is Barnwell County! A county which operated eighteen months without a dollar for ordinary county purposes! Taxes for ordinary county purposes were reduced about $-<),000 a year for four y.’ais and dur ing the same four years the assessed valuation of property was reduced from $952,904.69 to $656,086.22, or at the rate of $75,000 a year. Let’s tret that: During a period of four years- the taxe s were reduced $25,000 a year find the valuation was reduced $75,- 000 a year during all four years—a saving of $100,000 in revenue and a fall of $300,000 in valuation. The County is on a cash basis and on July 1st had a cash surplus of $14,- 939.55. ? So that’s why Barnwell holds so fast to Senator Edgar for the House are dyed-in-wool John ston men. Some of these very men FOR ENSUING YEAR At a meeting held in the Court' House last Thursday night the local' Basball Game. On Saturday, August 9, the base- American Legion Post elected oflfi- ball team of Co. 4468 journeyed to have been died-in-the-wool Johnston Georgetown to begin the second of- men during the session of the Legis- ficial hasebell schedule of the sum- lature.

It | happens that the one bad inning was There is talk of importing corn from Argentina to keep the price down. Well, did you ever hear of reducing the tariff so that steel and coal could be had from abroad when our domestic pi ices soar? Most of the candidates are declar ing themselves to be economists, That doesn’t always mean anything at all. Let’ s be more specific and say what we mean. For example, is the candi date determined to reduce or repeal the State five mill property tax? Is Brown and | he (or she) resolved to advocate and Representatives Sol Blatt and Win chester Smith. In 1925 Barnwell ap propriated for ordinary county pur poses $64,048.32; it now has $25,- 053.80. The millage has been reduced from 14 to 7; the assessed valuation of property has been reduced at the same time; and the indebtedness of the county has been reduced from $218,000.00 to $82,000.00. Over in Colleton there appears a tendency to increase the appropria tions from the low levels of the De pression. Colleton spQnt, in 1930, $118,257.37. The Depression struck us in 1931 and over-whelmed us in 1932. Here i s Colleton’s record: 1930 -$118,257.37; 1931—$81,272.25; 1932 —$59,814.75; 1933—$61,294.65; 1934— $67,429.75; 1935—$77,413.33; 1936— $99,153.90. Reading the newspapers I should be inclined to think that all ondidate,! support measures to relieve the local burden in the counties? I s he willing —yea does he purpose in his heart— to reorganize the State and County government so as to conserve all that is useful and cut off the dead branch es? Does he highly resolve to use every dollar of surplus to relieve the taxpayers? Will ^te study to build up the State by attracting new enter- prises ? Did you catch the point of Mr. Wiggins’ address—that we send out of the State for automobiles mere A m< ney than we receive for all our crops? Doesn’t this prove that we need a different brand of Statesman ship? We need men of political mind who are really statesmen and pro- moter* at the same time. We can’t grew and develop by devoting our I • hi right to two-by-four political dis cussions. the first one this time. After that- the local boy s played very good ball. It was the same story that was re peated several times during the first half of the season. Just one bad in ning lost the game. The score was 6-1. Turbeville started .off on the mound for Barnwell and w'as relieved , fer a time by Ricker. 1 Georgetow-n w-a s the champion of the lower half of the district last time, so w T e may do better against the Supply Co. or Edisto Island. At least we hope so. Lieut. Julian Metz i s in charge of the team thi s time. The Dance. We had another dance Friday, Au- | gust. 7, again with George Hall play ing, and again with the same good crowd as before. Wc may not wait till next month to put on another one, but may do it again in a couple of weeks, as this dance was a success in every way. Girls were ptisenr from a radius of 50 miles, and there were s ome good looking ones in the crowd, believe you me. More Visitors. Ctl.

After several games were played the children entered into tw-o contests, little Bobbie and Helen Moore being winners, each were pre sented with a prize. Ice cream, cake s and mints were served, all-day suckers being used as favors. The honor guest received many beautiful and useful gifts. Those assisting Mrs. Cieighton in serving were Mis.
