Interment was made in the Sumter cemetery. * Mr. Baldwin is survived by his widow, three sons, William C. Baldwin, student at the IJjniversity of South Carolina; Wallace V. and Willard Baldwin, of iSumter; one daughter, Mrs. 'Sara Free, and (two grandchildren. Mr. Baldwin had been in the employ of the Atlantic Coast Line for 31 years, 32 of which he spent as an engineer. He had been living in Sumter for about 30 years. Mr. Wells was also an engineer, but had been working recently as ji fireman and was at this post with Mr. Baldwin when the fatal accident occurred. ' Both Mr. Baldwin unci Mr. Wells were held in high esteem in Sumter and their -tragic deaths came as' a great shock to their families and friends. The wreck occurred when the train, en route from Fayetteville, J 'C., to Sumter ran into an open] switch near the city limits of Bennetts vilie. The engine started into the sidetrack then overturned and was completely demolished. The baggage coaches were thrown into a field and one was practically destroyed. The negro coach partially overturned but the white coach remained in an upright position. Mr. Wells was instantly killed, while Mr. Baldwin died several hours later in the Bennettsville hospital front scalds, over the entire body, scalp wounds and a fractured left arm. The bagga gem aster,* H. M. Wilson, of Sumter, received cuts and bruises but. was not seriously injured. Others injured are H. A. Parker, mail clerk, of Columbia; F. L. Brigman. agent at -Lunger Bridge, N. C.; A. Fipps, news butcher of Columbia. Two negro passengers were also slightly injured. All of the injured are expected to recover.?Monday's Sumter Item. A walnut was successfully removed from the bronchial tube in the lungs of a year-old baby at Greenville after the child had been brought to the city hospital th6re from Westminster and the baby is recovering. Reforestation Part Of Erosion Control ' V Tree planting will be necessary to complete thousands of erosion-control jobs undertaken by the Government a> part of the emergency conservation work program, according to the Forest Service. To insure the permanence of gully-stopping dams built by the 10M erosion-control camps of the C.C.C. this year, trees and grass must be planted. Most of the planting will be done by the C.C.C., but many farmers will plant their own lands. Emergency demand for tree stock j for planting may be too great for the | nurseries, and conservation workers land farmers may have to transplant I seedlings from woodlands and streambeds. In addition to the black locust, pine, cottonwood and willow plantings this fall and next spring, many trees native to the various localities should bo planted in mixed stands which usuully grow better than pure stands, and are less likely , to suffer destructive attacks of borers or other insects, s Cottonwoods, willows, silver maples and sycamores are especially recommended for moist bottom lands; elms, pines and red cedar for tho hills and upper slopes of gullies; oaks and other species for the heads of gullies. Where land is planted to trees and large gullies are being reclaimed, livestock must not be allowed to run. Fences have already boon built in many places. . Soil plowed into gullies should be protected promptly by sowing grass or another cover crop. In roadside work, Japanese honeysuckle is often used, although it is likely to be detrimental to young trees. Kudzu vine is sometimes planted in Southern States. Grape vines ' and native shrubs are useful. Willow, one of the trees easiest to j propagate in moist ground, may be started from cuttings. In many localities thousands of surplus willow and cottonwood seedlings grow on sandbars in streams. Willows, once started, soon supply more cuttings for new planting. Home Demonstration flub News During the montty of November Miss Sadie Craig, the home demonstration agent, held six all-day and nine half-day clothing renovation meetings. At these meetings she assisted with the renovation of 20 coats, 1-13 'hats and 6 dresses. The club members cut coat patterns, dress patterns and hat patterns for future use. These meetings hiive been a real saving in dollars and cents to many rural women. The agent, held thirty-one meetings 'with an attendance of 611, an average of twenty people at each dcmonstiation. Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, production specialist from Winthrop college, spent two days with Miss Craig during tile month. She met with- the Liberty Hill home demonstration club which is planning to begin work at once on a community center. They will bt autify the church and school grounds and establish a park. Mrs. Walker also met Three Cs : home demonstration club. This club has the largest enrollment of any i club in the county and in the two j years it has been organized has done I excellent work. They have begun the beautifidatioh of, two -churches in the community.-?^ y _ Miss J(ane Ketch^n, marketing specialist from Winthrop college, and Miss Sadie Craig, home agent, visited the garden and dairy demonstrators last Friday. Miss Ketchen visited the club market on Saturday morning. She was well pleased with the progress the market has made and complimented the members on the attractiveness of their products.

Orangeburg To Bar Peddlers and Agents N Private homea in Orangeburg will I be protected from solicitors, peddlers, itineram salesmen, etc., under the terms of ttn ordinance which was passed last night by the City Council. The practice of soliciting business, selling, etc., at private homes without an invitation from the residents, was declared a nuisance and prohibited by the terms of the ordinance, The ordinance declares that the practice of going in and upon private homes by ^plioitors. peddlers, hawkers, itinerant merchants and transient vendors of merchandise not having been so requested or invited to do $o by ithe owner or occupants, for the purpose of soliciting orders for the sale of goods, wares and merchandise, or for the purpose of disposing or pedaling or hawking the same, is declared a nuisance.and the police are ordered to enforce the ordinance The ordinance, it is understood, 'will afTect quite a number of persons, some of them local citizens who have been engaged ,in the practice prohibi ited. |t applies particularly to the j practice of certain strangers who come into the city and use methods which amount almost to intimidation and discourtesy to housewives in their homes. It is felt that the pertinacity and persistence of some of ithese > hard-boiled sellers requires that 'something be done to protect the private homes of the city. The application of the ordinance will prohibit such objectionable tactics and , unfortunately, at the same timp, necessarily apply to those who have conducted themselves in approved fashion. This latter class includes a number of persons of this city and community who, in the past, have attempted to make sales at private homes. Nothing in the ordinance, however, prevents a resident of the city from inviting any such agent or peddl.er, to come to any home and display such wares and goods as may be bundled. However, the call must not be made except upon the request or invitation of the owtier or occupant of a private home. It is understood that farmers are not 'affected by the ordinance so long as they sell products raised on their own farms.?Orangeburg Times and j Democrat.

Explaining her failure as the result of a "complete misunderstanding," her "apology" was such that it set ithe stage for Miss Barrymore,, princess of the American theater's "royal family." "1 don't know why we bother to | speak to you," Miss Barrymore told the wpmen, already smarting under the lash of her' companion's criticism, "Miss Le (iallienne and I do you an honor to be here at all. "You don't know anything. You don't understand anything. You don't appreciate anything. You never have known anything and. you never will, "I have given 35 years of my life to the theater. I don't know why we do it. We get no thanks. I think Miss Le (iallienne has done you a great honor. I don't know why, I don't know why anyone, should honor you. You&do not come to see my plays. You should he happy do eome here two or three times in order to hear Miss Le (iallienne once!" Turning to Miss Le (iallienne she continued: "1 found this child. She . has done more for the American theater than anyone else in the world. And yet you dare criticize her, a woman of her intelligence, because she doesn't appear at some meeting or other that she doesn't know anything about!" The lire died from her eyes a moment, and she smiled. "My grandmother had a theater here in Philadelphia, when people still had manners," she said. "Yes, it's been written about in books. But then, yot^ wouldn't know; anything about that. It doesn't matter. What's the difference?" Although mild by comparison, Miss Le (Jallienne's criticism of the audience was no less pointed. Asserting she had never broken a professional engagement in her more than 20 years in the theater, she exclaimed: "I would think by this time you would have a little faith." Her scheduled lecture concerned her plans for a national repertory theater, possibly with federal financial nid. Then she introduced Miss I Barrymore as "a great treat for you." | Indignation at the tongue-lashing given the audience wits expressed by Mrs. Arthur B. Waters, chairman of the Lecture Assembly, who termed Miss Barrymore's criticism "the greatest insult , a Philadelphia audience ever had." 'She said, however, she believed Miss La Gallienne was "completely justified." "There is no doubt about it? though Miss iLe Gallienne is a wonderful actress?her discourtesy was quite inexcusable," was the way Mrs Trenchard Emlen Neybold, an assembly member, put it. Mrs. William Clarke Fownes, an other assembly member, said sh< ! thought the whole affair "hardlj worth talking about." "I think Miss Le Gallienne hai either been ill or working too har< ?she was so pale today I felt sorr] for her," she said "And . I thinl M iss Barrymore, perhaps, has takei the whole affair too much to heart.' Mrs. Emma Brister said she "like< the way Miss I^e Gallienne spokeall but the beginning." South Carolina citizens are so han up for money to pay taxes and debts that they bought 7,614 more ne\ automobiles in 1938, to date, tha: they did in all of 1932, the number o new cars bought this year being ove twice as many as were l>ought i South Carolina last year. The num ber of new cars bought in 1933 is 14 057 and the number in 1932 was 6,45.' These figures are official from tb state highway department mQtor vi hicle division, which gets them froi its records of cars registered. I 1933, also, the number of new trucl^ bought increased to 2,296 from the 1 171 of 1932. If the new automobih bought this year in this state CO: only an average of $600 apiece, whii is very conservative as to price, Soul Carolinians spent over $8,400,000 fi new cars this year, which is a larj fraction of the total state tax levie And buying*a car only starts the co of owning one, of course. Officers of Rutherford county, C., have been delviag.Jnto the my terious circumstances surrounding t death of Grady Barrett, 35, in a ps ture *near Bostic, and indicatio J point to the fact that the man w stoned to death. IKingstreee Postal Clerk Dead in Wreck Kingstree, Nov. .'JO.?Miss Agnes Fulton, Kingstree postofTioe clerk, wan fatully injured today when the automobile she was driving overturned on the Santee River bridge near here.

Miss rah Fulton, a sistor^suffered minor injuries, while two other members of the family, Mrs. Robei*t Fulton and Miss Wrenna Fulton, escaped injury. The car overturned when a tire blew out as the car was crossing the long bridge. The family had attended Thanksgiving tfiirvice here a short while before and were on a pleasure ride.

' All heavy articles should be packed in the bottom of the box. Milk should be sent in a bottle or jar. Such fruits as bananas, apples and oranges pack easily and arrive in good condition. The box itself should be one that is easy to clean and convenient to carry. The collapsible tin box that folds when empty meets these conditions admirably. For substitutes, a square tin cracker box, or a small tin pail with holes punched in the side are satisfactory. A covered basket is the next best, although it will need to be lined with paraffin paper to protect the food in varying weather. The paper box is the least desirable. It M easily soiled, it absorbs odors quickly and it cannot be washed. Next week?Talking Health 1$ Bad.
