The Barnwell Baptist Association met with the Joyce Branch Baptist Church on Tuesday, October 21, and remained in session until Thursday evening. Moderator J. B. Black took the chair on the first day of the meeting and the Rev. W. G. Britton was asked to act as Clerk pro tem. ' The delegates from 31 churches were enrolled and permanent organization effected by the election of J. B. Black as Moderator, R. R. Johnston, Vice- Moderator, and J. A. Jenkins, Treas urer. The following visiting brethren were recognized: J. C. Keys, of the Baptist Courier; J. D. Huggins, representing Furman University; Dr. Chapman, of the Greenville Female College; V. I. Masters, of the Home Mission Board; W. J. Langston, of the State Board, and W. J. Nelson, representing the Church at Rock Hill. The Association suffered somewhat in regard to the lack of reports on va rious subjects. However, those that were presented were unusually good, to the point and interesting. The con gregations were large for the first two days, but many delegates went home and difl not stay the meeting out, which is to be regretted. The entertainment was more than could have been expected. This cor respondent cannot help thinking of the good things on thst long table, and when Joyce Branch invites the .Asso ciation beck again, there will be an enormous crowd to attend. W G. B.

Almost anybody living in that gen eral neighborhood will tell a stranger stories of how ‘‘Mis’ Dora Dee Walk er” used to get up at her home in Appleton at 5 o’clock, feed her chick ens, hitch up a wagon and drive ten miles to school at Cave’s station, where she wrestled with ‘‘Young America” till the trees were throwing long shadows as she drove back by her truck farm, which embraces 125 acres and works four teams. She manages this herself. She has been working for “Uncle Sam” three years, in connection with her school teaching, but this year “Uncle Sam’s” work needed so much attention that she had to ask the school board to let her off fornix months. In addition to generalizing the ranks of the tomato girls, Mrs. Walker teach es domestic science and looks alter sanitation and things of that sort. When seen at the fair grounds yes terday, she was sitting at an impromp- u desk made of a box,’ checking in- umerable parcels of tomatoes and anned goods sent in by her girls. Oh, yes; I have' sbme tomato boys, ,” she said. “These are in town, d are allowed 25 tomato plants iece.” She could check off numbers )ou.

On the 21st of November they will have to show at the Barnwell fair. And one wonders why some of these stupid musical comedy companies have not thought of having a tomato girl’s chorus, with the girls dressed in puffy red dresses, with green shoes and stockings and wide collars with long slim pointed green collars. * Mrs. Walker says that if they have time some of the girls serving at the Barnwell booth will be arrayed in some such manner, though they have a regulation costume of white dresses and caps. That is what they will wear at the banquet to be given them by The State at the Jefferson hotel next week. , Mrs. Walker has arranged for a great guessing contest at the Barnwell fair, in which her girls will take part, and all the answers will involve the word “can.” Chickens, Too. The tomato girls’ club of Barnwell county, which is affiliated with the girls’ canning and poultry club, is the only county where the organization has been perfected to the degree that is wished for by the general organizer of the entire movement.
