It would seem that farmers have a
splendid opportunity to curb the ac
tivity of the boll weevil next year
by the expenditure of just a little ef
fort during the qext few weeks. The
long spell of dry weather has no
doubt destroyed millions of the little
peat and, by forcing cotton to eariy
maturity, has made extremely diffi-
qjlt for the weevils to find squares
and young bolls upon which to feed.
Doubtless all of the cotton ih this
section will have been picked before
the first killing frost and as soon as
cotton has been harvested from
Held, the farmer should immediately
cut # tbe stalks or rip them up and
plow them under. With nothing jto
feed upon, the weevils will be forced
into hibernation in a weakened con
dition, thus greatly lessening their
chances of emergence next Spring.
Then, too, it seems to us that if the
atalks are turned under green and
allowed to rot in the ground, the fer
tility of. tbf-lond will be increased to
some extent \
The writer believes that if every
farmer in Barnwell County would
turn under bia cotton stalks as soon
as be finishes picking his cotton, the
chances of making u good crop next
year would be doubled.
was deep and his devotions as simple
as a little child, never seeking the
highest places in the ministry but
beautifying and ennobling-the hum
blest things that he touched, till now
he wears a jeweled crown in the
midst of the multitudes whom he has
influenced for good and in the pres
ence of his Lord awaiting our arrival.
We loved him.

The Wonders of Radio.
wf-
i
The tightly reception of protrr.m.
from distant cities by means of the
radio, one of the greatest inventions
■of all time, has ceased to excite the
wonder that prevailed only • very few
years ago whan the first home *wire-
lesV’ seta ware put on the market.
vSince that time thouaanda of receiv-
ing sets have been inatallea in homea
throughout the country and millions
if people have listened to great sym
phony orchestras, jazz bands, prime
donnas and speeches by distinguished
men, chief among which is the Presi
dent of the United »Statee. Already
it is being taken as a matter of
'course, like the phonograph, the
telephone, the airpmne, the automo
bile and the many other inventions
that have been perfected in the past
generation. It has b=en used to send
photographs thousands of miles and
now a start has been made to use it
as a utilitarian fixture of household
economy. Lest week a cooking exhi
bition was given in New York and the
following description is taken from
one of that city’s newspapers:
“Cooking an egg over a cake of ice
by wireless was one of several demon
strations of radio power given at the
Radio World’s Fair in the 258 Field
Artillery Armory, the Bronx, yester-
d * r -
“The egg was placed on f frying
pan on the ice. In a moment the pan
became hot through waves that pene
trated the ice.
“The cooking was done by Bemays
Johnson by means of his wireless lamp
inventiqn. He also lit the lamp
through a man’s head. He placed the
lamp on the volunteer’s head and the
light came when Mr. Johnson pulled
the lever of the transmitter.”
Well may we pause and ask, “What
next?” It is not unreasonable to
believe, in view of what has already
been accomplished, that in a com
paratively short length of time power
will be transmitted through the air
without the use of wires or power
lines and that our homes will be
warmed in winter and kept cool in
summer by radio. In the humble
Opinion of the writer, this country is
just on the eve of an unprecedented
electrical development. * *
Col. Harry D. Calhoun says that
the Barnwell colored school will open
this year on October 5th, just one
month after the white school, and
from all indications the school bids
fair to have a moet promising year,
as manv children are coming to the
school from various other school dis
tricts—in fact, from some of the
larger towns of the county for the
reason that t^iis school has a large
faculty, each being required to hold
a state coPesre certificate, sod the
children can be carried much higher
in grades and a longer term than^any
of the other schools of the county.
George Butler is the Superintendent,
and has seen continuous service in
this particular school for thirty-three
years. He enjoys the confidence not
of only his own people, but the best
and leading white people of Barn
well County. N
On October 1st, just across from the
present school grounds, the Trustees
will begin a new school building for
the colored children. The trustees
had hoped to build a verj/ large build
ing over on the plat pf seven acres,
but on account of lack of funds at
this time, they can only build a five-
teacher building costing around six
thousand dollars. The old building
will be used as before. This, together
with the new building, will accommod-
date many more children than in the
past.
George Butler, with subscriptions
from msny parents and friends, has
collected one thousand dollar* that is
in the hands of the County Treasurer
and will be placed with this fund. With
the new building across the railroad
on the seven acres and given by the
county and the present pia.it the color
ed people of Barnwell will have one
of the fine** pieces if school pro
perty in the lower part of the State.
The faculty is composed of George -
Butler, Supt.. Vewel Williams, prin
cipal and music teacher; Annie But
ler, first and second grades omi assis
tant domestic science; Maggie John-
akin Jias the fifth and sixth grades,
and assists in dressmaking; Cornelia
Green, and Vcwell Williams have the
sixth - seventh and eighth grades, and
George Butler has the ninth ahd tenth
grad ?*.
All the parents and friends of the
school, including the white friends,
are invited to the opening exe r cises
on Monday, October 5th, at ten o’clock
and George Butler and his faculty pro
mise splendii exercises, as only the
lessons of the children will be marked
on the opening day.—Contrbu^“d.

Notice of Discharge.
What My Neighbor Says
Is of Interest to Barnwell Folks.
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
Sidney ills—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
person’s advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbor^. The following
mse ia only one of many thouaanda,
but it i^ that of a Barnwell resident.
Who could ask for a better example?
Mrs. Laura Clary, Barnwell, says:
“I had severe kidney trouble. My
back ached at times and I was nervous
too. I had dizzy spells when objects
seemed to float before my eyes. My
kidneys did not act right at all.
Doan’s Pills gave me relief from the
"N «
start. I was entirely well.
A FEW YEARS LATER, Mra.
Clary added: “I have not had the
least need of a kidney medicine since
I used Doan’s.”
