week or ten days. At a meeting of the
members of the Barnwell Bar last
Saturday, it was decided to try only
criminal cases. The Solicitor will ti*y
one or two bail cases while the Grand
Jury is acting on indictments. Then
the Court will enter into the trial of jail
cases.
Petit jurors for the second week of
Court were drawn Monday, as follows:

The Federal Government, realizing
that the teaching of agriculture ha*

entire South, m offering to co-ojie-ate
with the trustees of five rural schools
m each count) of the State in establish
ing a thrve-vear crop rotation, mclud
mg the principals of soil building, on

The plan is for the trustees of the
schools selected to furnish the land,
seed, necessary fertilizers, teams, and
to set aside certain hours during each
school day when the children are to
perform the actual work on the demon
stration plots. Frequent visits will be
made to each of the five schools select
ed in the county by the local, district
and State Farm Demonstration agents,
and in addition to these visits, expert
agriculturists will pay frequent visits
from the Federal Department of Agri
culture and Professors from State ex
perimental farms and agricultural col
leges will make calls at each of these
schools.
In order that a wise selection of
schools may be made, a meeting will be
held here at the Court House on Satur
day, July 12th, at 11 o’clock A. M.,
which the trustees of the rural schools
who are interested in the proposition
are cordially invited to attend. Mr. W.
W. Long, the State agent, or Mr. Elliott,
the district agent, will be present at the
meeting and explain the details, so that
those present may be made thoroughly
familiar with the idea.

BLEASE REFUSED TO
GRANT REQUISITION
Papers in M. C. Dowling's Case Re
turned.—Cause* Surprise.
“Returned with my compliments.’’
According to what appears to be re
liable report, that is the endorsement
of the governor of South Carolina,
subscribed air~~the back of Governor
Joseph M. Brown’s requisition for the
return of Moye C. Dowling to Rich
mond County, Georgia, to stand trial.
The nature of the endorsement can’t
be verified, but the fact has been veri
fied from Atlanta that “Governor
Blease turned the requisition down
cold.” That is, the governor of South
Carolina has sought in this manner,
by returning the papers, to “refuse to
do business with Governor Brown,” as
was his declaration some time ago.
This information, however, was
quite a surprise to attorneys interested
in both the civil and criminal branches
of the cases growing out of the ex
plosion of the Citizens Bank case in
Augusta some time ago. Moye C.
Dowling, who was cashier of the in
stitution, it will be recalled, was in
dicted, with others, in the criminal
branch of the court after the civil ac
tion had been instituted for the re
covery of money of the depositors
Requisition was asked for Dowling,
who is a resident of F'airfax, S C ,
where he is now m business The
requisition was fought, dates for a
hearing were set on two occasions,

WINTHROP SCHOLARSHIP
EXCEEDINGLY POPULAR
Thirteen Yownf Ladies of Barn wall
County Stood Faawuaabon.
Seventeen young ladies, represent
ing eight towns in the county, stood the
Wmthrop College examinations con
ducted by Superintendent Horace J.
Crouch at the Court House Friday. Of
this number, thirteen were contest
ants for the free scholarship to which
this county is entitled, while four stood
the entrance examination. So charm
ing were the applicants and so evident
was their desire to win the prize that
it is to be regretted that out of the thir
teen there can be only one “lucky”
girl. The other twelve, who must
necessarily be disappainted, should
charge their failure against the thirteen
“hoodoo” and try again when the next
vacancy occurs.
Those who stood the examination
were:
Misses Willie Laurie Best, Lucile
Stoney, Mae Best, Sara Alva All, Willie
Frances Bryan and Mamie Gaulden
Bryan, of Allendale; Annie Lily Rich
ardson, of Barnwell; Mary L. Ray and
Nellie Hair, of Blackville; Ethel M.

THERMOMETER REACHED
100 MARK Of BARNWELL
Last Thursday Was Hottest Day af *e
Year—Suaday a Close Second.
To say that the weather of the pnst
week has been hot is putting the matter
mildly. Town residents have staled
in the intense heat and in the country
where there has been a lack of rain the
crops looked parched. Last Thursday
a street thermometer in BdrnweH
reached the century mark at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. This is said to be the
hottest day of the year, although Sun
day was not much better. On that day
the official thermometers in Colmn-
biaand Augusta registered 100. No
relief is promised by the weather
bureau, except from local thunder
showers, so there is nothing to do but
grin and bear it, unless one happens te
be of the favored few that are able te
drop business and seek pleasure aad
comfort on the seashore or in the
mountains.
