Capt. Schuh Takes
Over CCC Camp
Replaces Capt. George W. Craw
ford, Who Waa ia Charge far
Past Six Months.
Capt. Leon B. Schuh has taken
over the duties of commanding of
ficer of the local CCC camp, re
placing Capt Geo. W. Crawford,
who has been at the head of the
camp for the past six months. The
members of the camp and the
townspeople welcome the new
commanding officer here and at
the same time regret to see Cap
tain and Mrs. Crawford leave.
During his term of duty as the
head of the local outfit, Captain
Crawford made many minor
changes in the camp which have
benefitted both the boys and the
people with which the camp comes
in contact. The boys have worked
hard under his leadership, and
while he enforced the regulations
of the CCC life he did it in such a
way that he won the respect, ad
miration and wholehearted co
operation of the men whom he w’as
over.
Captain and Mrs. Crawford will
leave shortly for North Carolina,
where it is understood they will
teach school during the coming'
session. Captain Schuh comes
here from his home in Florida.
Another recent change at the
camp was the replacing of Lieut
enant Smith, whose term of duty
was up, by Lieut. T. O. Pardue.
Lieut. Smith returned to his home
in Atlanta, Ga., and Lieut. Par-
dbe, his wife and baby are reaid-
tag hi the apartment at the home
of Mim Elizabeth MrNab

YOUR
COTTON
Before Ginning
We have installed the latest type, government approved
construction. Cotton Drying Equipment; which abso
lutely dries your GREEN and DAMP cotton scientifically
before it is passed through the gins. 1
Especially advantageous in the processing of STAPLE
COTTON. Staple cotton, due to its length, of course
stays damp and green longer than ordinary short staple; and
its delicate fibre is greatly protected by being thoroughly
DRY before being allowed to pass through the gins.
Experts advise us that there is No Lots in Weight
due to the use of the Cotton Drier, for the cotton ab
sorbs from the atmosphere all the natural weight carried,
after it has been ginned.

After the first edition, advertis
ing picked up considerably and the
publishers were able to get out a
full four-page paper. Quite a few
additional lawyers’ cards appeared
in the succeeding issues and
local merchants, merchants from
Blackville, Bamberg and Charles
ton, were placing advertising in
the columns of The People.
Evidently Barnwell and Charles
ton were closely connected as each
edition carried a Charleston letter
of news from the City by the Sea
and there were advertisements of
Charleston concerns in the paper.
One news notice stated that “Mr.
A. P. Manville shawed us last
Friday an apple weighing fifteen
ounces that was grown by Mr. W.
L. Cave.”
Another stated that "The prison
