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.

Local Negro School to Open October 5th 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. “Barnwell, Hub of Its Sector.” THE B^LRWWiKt BAHNIO^ ry*.

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.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co.rMfrs., Buffalo, N.
