THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. 1925 A Suggested Solution. £^7 m The People-Ssntinel lr not concerned with the present controversy between the County Delegation and the Board of County Commissioners, other than the interest that any taxpayer has in the affairs of the county. As an nounced at the time of the consoli dation of the Peonle and the Sentinel, this nsner is not in politics and is controlled bv no clique ,clan nor fact ion. Our obiact is to give our readers the news of Barnwell County and do what we can. in our bumble \#*y. to nromote the best interests of the countv as a whole Without in any way discussing the merits of the present controversy, we hsve a suggestion to offer that we hone will do much to abolish the friction that has marked roadbuilding in tbs countv in the past. Briefly, it is this: Abojish the chaingapg and let each township do its own road- I 1 " building, in the same way that the several school districts now imnrove their school buildings. -For instance, if Great Cypreat township wants to improve its public roads, let it lew a sufficient tax to take yire of the work and award the contract to the lowest bidder. If, on the other hand. Great Cvpress townshio decides that its roads are good enough, the tax payers in the town shin will be saved that amount of monev each year. By this method, the people of one town ship caniiot charge that th^ir tax money is being used to build and im prove the roads of another townshio. If BamweU school district decides that a larger and mare up-to-date school building is necessarv. the tax payers of Williston school district are not asked to pay a part of the cost, a special tax is levied on the peo- le of the Barnwell School district. Let's apply the same system to town ship roadbuilding and get away from this eternal bickering and squabbling. la the idea feasible or not? We Would like to hear from our readers along thts line.

Heckle, Representative. The resolutions which you served on us today in response to our re quest for your assistance in negotiat ing a loan of 815„000.00 to pay current and future expenses for the remain der of the year came as quite a shock and surprise to us._ This is to put you on notice that this is the only appropriation on which the funds are exhausted, and our purpose jn floating this loan was to supply the necessary funds for meeting current and future expenses for the balance of the year in con nection with the chaingang and raods and bridges, and that if will be nec essary to purchase feed for the mules and convicts until some disposition can be made of the mules and con victs. In the opinion of the Board if these mules should be (hit on the market at this,time at present mar ket prices, the County would sustain a loss of several thousand dollars. While the Board has not taken any official action in regard to the matter, I feel it my duty to bring the matter to yout attention. Yours very truly, E. C. MATTHEWS, Chairman Board Directors Barnwell County. 1% STATE FAIR • : v Thrilling and Novel Attrac tion* Booked to Entertain VUitor* to Savannah T h is Fall. r; TO WED COLUMNIST - L* Us ’$#&' m ■m chaingang, roads and bridges for the twelve calendar months of 1925, has been spent bv the County Board of\Directors in eight months. This ig a wasteful and unheard ex penditure of the County tax money and especially when so little work has been accomplished. /.The Delegation which is charged 'with the responsibility of accounting to the tax payers for the money which U *p*nt ty“RIIMfilfr^epar^tr«f^ the County Government is unwil ling to appropriate further money to he squandered in this manndr by said Board of Directors. We have called upon them for their resignation so that a Board of business men, free from preiUdice or jealousies, and in whose ability and integrity we have confidence, might be chosen to administer the affairs of the County. The members of said Board have refused to tender their reaignation. THEREFORE, he it resolved by the Legislative Delegation in meeting assembled, that no further appropria tion be made, of any funds, to he expended by the present Board of County Directors, either for the re mainder of this year, or for the year of 1926, if they still hold office. And that said Board be directed forthwith to take so such action as is necessary to commit the County chaingang in the Stats Penitentiary. _ ‘x / Further that they do forthwith sell and dispose of mules, tractors and equipments of every kind used for read building purposes, and deposit the ftmds received therefrom with the County Treasuureur, to be by him held for disposal under the Legis lative authority to be enacted by the the coming session of Savannah, OS.-BeHeving that ree- reatfona] entertainment should have »n important part on Us program, the Georgia State Fair management has booked a large field of amusement for the visitors to Savfcnah during the season.

The word ^evaporated” may give you the idea that In the process of evapo ration the milk has lost some of Its valuable qualities. It hasn’t. It has lost only water. Sixty per cent of the water is evaporated from the milk after it comes fresh from the cow. The first step in processing the milk is the evaporation, when a portion of the water content is removed. Tbe second step is the homogenization, which Insures the cream being dis tributed evenly throughout the milk. The third is the canning. The fonrtb ia sterilization, which takes place in the can when the milk is subjected to sufficient beat to destroy the bacteria. Thus evaporated milk remains as pure and fresh in the container as when it foamed into the pall in the farmer’s barn. Evaporated milk is now generally recognized as the freshest milk avail able to those not living on farms and producing their own milk. For fresh ness in milk means purity. Transportation of milk from the dairy country to the city is well syate- matized and rapid and yet owing to the immense quantities of milk, that must be rushed in daily, much of It must be obtained at considerable dis tances and a large per cent is neces sarily some days old when It Is de livered by the milkman. Evaporated milk, on the other hand, is last Plght’a ml this morning’s milk. From the dairy barn, always under rigid Inspection, it is hurried by farm ers to factories located in the heart of tbe dairy country and delivered whet it is fraih. Evaporated milk ia canned Just at Its “freshest moment,” when It is- in -tts fteeet "«rte. ^It la YfffVef allowed to get old. The whole proc ess from cow to can requires only a few hours. It may be interesting tc know that the process of steHllzioi takes place after the milk has beer sealed In its containers. Once in in sterilized containers, there Is no pos slbility of deterioration. . . The sterilizing of evaporated milk Insures its’ purity—It makes a saf« milk, for the children. Evaporated j. milk is boiled milk, and this makes It < more digestible. X/ It may be used for any milk need witri safety and economy. For ordinary cream needs, use tl just as it comes from the can. Whea a rich milk is desired, add an equal part of water. For cooking and bak ing. two parts water and one part milk will usually suffice. COTTON - j* GHAS. G.
