DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.60 Six Months -90 Three Months — AO (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, APRIL 1£T, 1937. EiKhteen or Shinny. “With regret coupled with indigna tion we see the humiliating confes sion in The Barnwell People-Sentinal that the ‘Works Progress Adminis tration has completed a nine-hole golf course in Barnwell/ Do the new gods size up Barnwell and Bamwellians as worthy of no more than nine holes? Is Barnwell sunk so deep in depres sion that it can be content with nine holes? We would not have believed 1 that there is a nine-hole town in South Carolina, much the less Barn well. Eighteen holes or back to shinny say we for all South Carolina.” Thus does the esteemed News and Courier shed crocidile tears over the sad plight of Barnwell. Perhaps we are partly responsible for Editor Ball’s “regret coupled with indigna tion” because of our failure to state that the Barnwell golf course is so arranged that it is, to all practical intents and purposes, an 18-hole course, there being nine holes “out” and nine holes “in,” which arrange ment conserves high-priced farm land and is one that our dear Charles ton contemporary will understand if he knows as much about golf as a mutual good friend tells us that he does about Caesar’s Head buzzards. In the meantime we issue Editor Ball a cordial invitation to come up to Barnwell, play a game of golf on our 9-plus-9 course, take a plunge in the limpid waters of Turkey Creek that flow so placidly through our municipal swimming pool, watch the Albany (N. Y.) ball players train in the nearby park, eat some well pre pared Barnwell County asparagus as the piece-de-resistance of a nine-hole —beg pardon, nine-course—dinner and, in the contented frame of mind that is bound to ensue, discuss with Senotor Edgar A. Brown the relative merits and demerits of “packing” or “unpacking” the Supreme Court. Such an outing would probably “be good for what ails him.” Forestry Conservation. In our account of a recent visit by plane to Georgetown, mention was made of the several woods fires seen en route. A conservative estimate would place the number at a dozen— and this with an eight million-dollar paper plant under construction right in the front yards of the woods owners! It does seem to the casual observer that, with capital investing millions of dollars in this section for the manufacture of paper and other pro ducts from our native pine trees, our people would be firm believers in and practicers of forest conservation. The government is spending thous and of dollars annually in reforesta tion—and 'yet we wantonly destroy the forests that we havfc already. oc/& JUNIOR SMART-SET BRIDGE CLUB.
