WOMAN FL1M-FLAX ARTI8TS
POST THOU8AND DOLLAR BOND
Distributing Bibles and forged;
checks seems a rather odd comblna
tlon, but that is the charge filed by
looal peace officials against two nattily
dressed women who gave their residence
as Columbia.
According to information given out
by Sheriff Hill, two women, Mrs. T. M.
McCutchen and Oralee Jeffcoat,
swooped down on the little town of
Cameron on April 18, and by some
means they procured a number of
blank checks on the Bank of Cameron.
Then the women are said to have
worked the town, house to house, on
the pretext of soliciting subscriptions
for the Progressive Farmer and
Southern Rurallst, as well as taking
orders for Bibles
After working the town the women
left for other parts, but later on
made a return visit to this county and
pretty soon complaints began to come
In that forged checks were coming in
tcx the bank.
:Mast Jit .the ..checks. xec.ay.er^...po
far are for small amounts, but that
does not lessen the offense according
to Sheriff Hill.
Several checks are alleged to bear
| the forged name of Mr. E. B. Bull,
! while several others bore the forged
! name of Mary Houck. One check has
come in from Orangeburg. This seems
to Indicate that the "flashers" paid
that city a visit, and it may be that
still other checks will be reported.
The checks so far as reported were '
made payable to Mary Davis, Helen
Davis and Sadie Brown.
All Calhoun peace officers started
an Intense search for the women and
they were arrested on. Friday, May 12
and brought to St. Matthews where
they were given a preliminary hearing.
At the_prellmlnary hearing the women
were bound over to the circuit
court which will convene here on
Monday, May 22.
Their bond was set at. $1,000.00 and
the women very readily hauled out
fifty twenty-dollar bills In good old
i United StatelHWrrency which was accepted
In gooiirfatth by the local authorities.

COMMERCIAL COUR8E TO BE
OFFERED BY BARON DeKALB
Baron DeKalb high school an
nounces the inclusion of typewriting,
shorthand and bookkeeping in its curriculum
for the 1939-1940 session.
While general commercial subjects,
such as economics, commercial law,
business mathematics, and general
business science have been offered for
several years, this will be the first
time that the more specific commercial
training has been made available
to pupils. One of the new classrooms
Is being furnished and equipped for
the new work, and Miss Irvllle Jones,
a 1939 graduate of WInthrop college,
has been employed to establish the
new department. Indications are that
the demand for these courses will exceed
the number that can be properly
cared for, .and as a result certain restrictions
and requirements will be set
up.
' The addition of the commercial department
is In line with the aim and
pollcy or the "Tward or trustees" to
make the training offered in the Baron
DeKalb sohool compare favorably
with that to be obtained in any other
secondary Institution and at the same
time to confine training to those
things which are definitely worthwhile
to the boy or girl. The school already
has well organized . departments of
agriculture, shop, manual training and
home economics. ,
Trustees of the BChbol are: K. C.j
Etters, chairman; P. A. McDowell,
clerk; Sam Truesdale, H. L. Smyrl,

Steps to Perfect Baking." Next was
a bulleton on "Stain, Removal From
Fabrics." Our subject for the month
being "Stain Removal," Miss Fewell
told us of so many substances used
for stain removal and almost all of
the materials used may be classified
as absorbents, solvents or bleaches, I
although there are a few miscellaneous
ones whose action Is different.'
These are really things housewives
should know, because the removal of
stains Is a necessary feature of the)
general care of clothing and household
textiles. Then, Miss Fewell told
us more of this wonderful trip she
is to take this month. First to Bondon
to attend the International Farm
Women/a meeting, then on to the
"Band of the Midnight Sun. We are
| almost as thrilled over our agent'B
trip as she is herself.
