Despite only a handful of boys who have had experience in foot ball, Coach W. R. Price stated af ter the first few practices that his team has a great deal more prom ise than he had believed possible previous to the first workout. While he will have to develop a complete new backfield and use men who have not played regularly before in the line, he expects to put a good team on the field on September 24th when Barnwell will open the season against North. A larger squad than that of last season and one withi s little more weight greeted the Barnwell men tor when he called the boys to gether for the first time last week. It is much too early to make any predictions as to the probable line up of the team but it is safe to say that it will be heavier than last tail’s dub a ad will have just as much speed and team play as that of the past year.

Evidently, these friends—both old and new—appreciate the publisher’s efforts to give them a bigger and better paper at a substantially reduced price, and they are taking advantage of the special dollar-a-year rate. Others have assured us that they will pay their dues or join The Feoplfc-Sentinel’s rap idly growing family of satisfied readers is soon as they sell a little cotton. But don’t put this all-important matter off too long. Remember, the special $1.00 offer is for a limited time only. If you are not already a subscriber, you ctnnot afford to do without The People-Sentinel a week longer since the price is less per issue than the coot of a two-cent postage stamp.

Due to the fact that the seventh grade pupils this year are being sent to the Barnwell school so that they may have junior high school work and therefore learn the curriculum of the local school be fore entering the high school here, the enrollment for the entire school is about the same «s that of last year. However, for the six grades, there is a slight increase. Miss Rosalie Spann, of Sumter, is in charge of the school this year, replacing Mrs. Parker, principal for the past several years. Mrs. Parker resigned to accept the position «s school attendance offi cer for Barnwell Cdunty.
