Glenn's Record Is An Impressive One (Hy Frank H. Heath) Probably til those United States has anyone qngaged lu the suparvision of state penal Institutions, established a record comparable with that made lu the past year by Colonel John Glenn, superintendent of stats penal Institutions IK South Carolina.I Figures taken from the offfclul rec-j ords speak for themsolvos and aro a concrete acknowledgement of the skill and sagacity of Colonel Glenn. In citing specific facts, It may bo mentioned at the stuto farm ut lk>ykin, which has received tho personal supervision of Colonel Glenn, 400 acres planted In oats have the remarkable yield of 25,000 bushels. Again, 150 acres planted In wheat yielded 4,500 bushels. Ten acres planted in Irish potatoes yielded 2,600 bushels. And undor cultivation at this time ure 250 acres of cotton. 800 acres of corn and peas In rows. 600 acres of peas and 150 acres in lespedeza and velvet beans. In addition there are 160 acres In truck. At tho state penitentiary where Colonel Glenn is warden as well as superintendent, his administration of the past year has been productive of some Interesting and progressive changes A prison orchestra, for one thing, has been organized and has sb far progressed in Instrumental prowess that the group Is heard frequently over tho air. Colonel Glenn Is also responsible for the establishing of a fine library, which already has proven a boon to the Inmates. He has also furthered a program of outdoor activities such as baseball and softhall and has provided equipment for both. Most Interesting of all the achievements of Colonel Glenn Is the Improving of the living conditions at th?' penitentiary. The institution takes ton rnnk for the excellent food given to the. Inmates. The menu reads more like that of a high class restaurant than of a prison moss hall. The most interesting feature of this service is that practically alt of the foodstuff served Is grown at the prison farm at Boyktn. Colonel Glenn's charm of personality. his fairness and fine treatment of Ills charges. Ills desire to make tho penal Institution places where education and corrective measures may measure Into the period of punishment aro outstanding umi liuve earned the gratitude of all concerned.

And so it conies about that announcement is made by Mrs. John Mullen, chairman of the Association's Christmas Seal Sale Committee, that Mrs. l)ess Ooodale is the general chairman of the 1940 Christmas Seal Sale. Last year Mrs. Ooodale attended to the details of the mail sale In such tip top fashion that there Is treason to believe the success in the annual fund raising campaign, beginning this time on November 25th, will set a new record. At an early date, Mrs. Ooodale will be selecting from all sections of the I county dependable workers to assist in the combined educational and fund raising drive. Tuberculosis is no respecter of persons and the demands on the service being-rendered by the Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association is shown by the fact that there are in the county more than sixty known eases of tuberculosis as compared with the average of twenty-five known cases, when the year round program began something more than two years ago. It is well known when the earnings of those in the moderate and low Income groups do not increase sufficiently with tho higher prices of food. fuel, clothing, etc., the reals-, tance of many exposed active cases of tuberculosis is likely to be lowered to such an extent that it is easier to I become a prey to tuberculosis, which | takes its heaviest toll among those ! within the ages of fifteen and fortyfive. life's most productive period. Ami so our Tuberculosis Association c speeding up along lines of preparedness. FINAL DISCHARGE Notice is hereby given- that one ttt-urh from this date, on August 13. I'te f Will make to the Probate Court of Kershaw County my final return as Administratrix of the estate of T.

MORE WHEAT GROWN FOR BETTER FARM LIVING Clemson, July 13. ? That South Caroliua farmers are growing more wheat and growing it successfully In tho push toward bettor farih family ( living without much cash outlay Is evident In reports from every parti of tho state, says A. B. Bryan, agrT11 cultural editor of the Extension Serv-1 Ice. ) In the Fee Bee section. Billon ooun-. ty, for example, reports the best wheat crop ever made there. It Is not unusual, according to County' Agent S. W. Epps, to hear of farm-J ers making 30 to 40 and even as high as 50 bushels per acre. A Dillon flour mill has already handled 35,000 bushels of local wheat, more than the entire record crop of 1939. ' Anderson county, in the tipper. Piedmont, reports through County Agent E. P. Josey on a successful wheat contest sponsored by two business firms. The 28 farmers in tho contest made yields from 18 to 46.2 bushels. Dr. J. O. Sanders making the high yield, second prize going to J. M. Bailey's 44.5 bushels per acre. [ County Agent J. M. Eleazor of Sumter says that the entire Wheat crop was especially good this year' and adds: "Our wheat yields are get-' ting better each year as we get better varieties from the breeders and learn more about growing the crop. Our average for home use Is far greater this year than it has been." i Other typical reports from county agents: ( R. H. Lemmon, Fairfield.?"Most of the farmers are well pleased with wheat yields, hnd the Wheat crop ift going to be a big factor in the live-at-home program." F. M. Hast, Clarendon. ? "Hodge Brothers, Paxville, have 150 acres of wheat in one body averaging 30 bushels per acre.

Windsor Is Given Post In Bahamas Condon. July lfC-The Duke of Windsor has been named governor and commander-in-chief of the Bahamas, It was announced recently after a reported dispute with the British government over his desire to return to England with his Americanborn duchess. Buler of an empire of 400,000,000 subjects less than four years ago, the forty-six-year old duke will reside over a little group of Brltls* Islands off the Florida coast having, 63 000 inhabitants and depending largely upon tourists and-international society for its. livelihood. By naming the duke to the sinecure at Nassau, a post usually used to reward retired British gener als for years of service, the ??v?r?t ment will keep Edward in exile and side step an awkward situation over hostility in high British circles toward his duchess, the former Wallis Warfleld Simpson. The duke, now in Lisbon with the duchess after fleeing from tfffe German conquest of France, replaced Sir Charles Fraquharson Dundas as governor of the Baharrias at a salary of 3,000 pounds (about $12,000) a year.
