ANNOUNCED BY DAVIES
In the first issue of “The People’’
published at Barnwell courthouse
September 6, 1877, an editorial,
carrying for the most part a dis
patch from Washington, D. C.,
was printed as a tribute to the
Southern women who had pioneered
in the business world of New York
City and Washington following
the disastrous Confederate war.
These women plainly showed that
despite adversity, the true women
of the South were still stouthearted
and willing to fight.
Facing the tradition that women
shouldn’t work, many of them went
North and secured positions in the
business world, becoming quite
successful as the dispatch from
Washington shows. This should
he ecus ids red a real tribute ta
these Southern
business pioneers

Work to
fW«t
The Barnwell cotton market has
held up unusually well this year,
if the fact that cotton has been
brought here from as far away as
Beech Island is any evidence as to
the price paid here being better
th^n that paid at the nearby mar
kets. Local cotton men stated that
several loads had been brought
from a radius of 25 miles of Barn
well, while a few more had been
brought an even greater distance
for sale on the Barnwell market.
The price paid here during the
present season has compared most
favorably with the market as quot
ed in the cotton centers and the
people of the surrounding territory
hove token advantage of the fact
end brought their fleecy staple to
the local mart.

was for the purpose of discussing
ptans for the location of the lib
rary ta Barnwell.
The project hod to have the spon
sorship of some local organization,
and this has been secured, it is un
derstood, by the Farm Women’s
Council. The plans call for the
location of the mein library in the
town of Barnwell with e truck al
so being secured to make regular
trips over the county for the pur
pose of distributing books to the
rural citizens.
When worked out, this should
prove one of the most worthwhile
projects started in Barnwell Coun
ty in some time as it will enable
people who have otherwise been
unable to obtain good reading mat
ter, to get these books and maga
zines (Delivered to their door. This
should go far toward the making
of better citizens out of these
people.
Contributions by local people
have already accounted for the
accumulation of considerable books
and magazines and many others
have been promised as soon as the
plan is put in operation. The loca
tion of the library has been dis
cussed and several sites have been
recommended but as yet no defi
nite site baa been agreed upon.

The first home game of the sea

The two teams should be pretty

Barnwell Baptist Church
Reduces Big Debt Rapidly
The payment of a $21,000 debt
in five years is the splendid record
being made by the members of the
Barnwell Baptist Church, accord
ing to W. H. Manning, treasurer,
in a statement made public this
week.
In 1932, the church owed ap
proximately $21,000, including
mortgaged indebtedness, current
bills, pastor’s salary, etc. Of this
amount, $15,000 was due to the
closed Bank of Western Carolina,
which was reduced by the receiver
to $7,600, leaving s total indebted
ness of $13,500.
Tte church went to work with
• vim under tte inspiring leader
ship mi tte Rev. R. H. Stembridg*.
Jr. B. R Moors and V R. Mato
Moore, Mrs. B. W. Sexton, J. B.
Grubbs, P. A. Price and W. H.
Manning. This committee was
elected from year to year and each
September since, and including,
1932 raised the amount agreed
upon. By March, 1937, the total
debt had been reduced to $2,730.
A canvass was completed by the
finance committee September 26th
snd the balance of $2,730 was
pledged. It is the aim of the
committee, with the continued
whole-hearted cooperation of the
members, to clear this amount

BOILING SPRINGS CLUB
HOLDS FIRST MEETING
At the first meeting of the fall
season of the Boiling Springs 4-H
Club it was decided by the mem
bers to build a trail in the woods
surrounding the school house dur
ing the coming year. The present
plans, call for the trail winding
through the woods behind the
school building, across the spring
branch and circle back up the hill
to the school.
The trail will be used by the
members for nature study, one of
the projects of the olub for the
year being a study of nature. The
wild flowers, birds, trees and all
forms of nature will come under
the careful scrutiny of the club
members during the year.
The ide* for this unique project
was picked up by some of the
members during the summer en
campment at Camp Long, near
Aiken. - Over the trail at the
Aiken camp, the dabsters strolled
to study wild life, gsther insects
for mounting and study trees and
flowers-

Washington Street, which tee

popular thoroughfares sines Mr

sidewalks ss pedestrian traffic to
forced to the streets in places be
cause of the narrowness at the
walks snd the poor condition of
them. This is dangerous, especial
ly for children who use the strati
going to end from school, and tha
paving of the sidewalks will re
lieve this phase of danger.
The highway department kaa
agreed to pave the sidewalks if
the property owners are willing to
move their own fences and shrub
bery so that the department will
have no trouble with the right of
way or with the possible damaging
of property. The' street committee
of the town will draft a peper to

if they are willing to move obstruc

It is reported that the depart

property owners will clear op tha
