NEW LOW PRICE AND LARGER
SIZE PAPER MAKE BIG HIT
Many Old and Gratifing Number of New Subscribers
Take Advantage of Special Offer Made
by The People-Sentinel.
Keeps ’Em Guessing
The new low subscription price
for The People-Sentinel—only $1.00
for a full year—end the larger
size paper that is being published
have made a big hit, with the re
sult that many old friends have
paid their past due subscriptions
and a gratifying number of new
subscribers have been addled to the
mailing list in the past week.
Most six-column size weekly
papers in the State charge from
$1.50 to $2.00 per year and the
subscription price for the seven-
column size is almost invariably
$2.00, so it will be seen that the
people of Barnwell County are be
ing offered a worthwhile bargain
when they can secure TThe People-
Sentinel for only $1.00 a year—56
columns a week of interesting
local, county, State, national and
world news and profit-paying ad
vertisements for less than the cost
of a two-cent stamp a week!
Turn to page five of this issue
and read the special subscription
offer that is being made for a
limited time only, and save 50 cents
on each yearly subscripticn.

Blackville, Sept. 7.—(Special).—
The immediate employment of ap
proximately 100 people and a pay
roll in excess of $50,000 the first
year is in prospect for Blackville
and the surrounding territory if
negotiations with the Nantex Com
pany are completed satisfactorily,
it was announced here today. A
portion of the building now occu
pied by the Farrell-O’Gorman Co.
would be used for the manufacture
of men’s shirts. It was originally
constructed for the production of
hosiery and is admirably adapted
for the proposed new industry. A
representktive of the Nantex Com
pany was in Blackville a few days
ago and prospects for locating a
plant here are very bright.
Three other such plants are now
being operated satisfactorily m
South Carolinau Nice, easy, clean
work is offered and the best peo

it will save them a trip to the Barn

Collections have picked up some

The continued silence of Senator
Sdgsr A. Brown of .Barnwell, as to
his future political plans—especial*
y the pcssibility of his being a caa*'
didate for the United States sem*
ate next summer—has kept the
politically wise prognosticator*
guessing for the past several
months. The Senator has beam
mentioned as a possible guberna
torial candidate as well as an a*-
pirant for Senator E. D. Smith's
toga, but up to th* present wr+tiag
he has been “sawing wood and say
ing nothing.”
