It will be cooler Wednesday and Thursday and some- somewhat warmer thereafter. remainder of the members stand aside and criticise, fail to attend meetings and put up an almost in surmountable bar to closer unity. Here steps in the social side. The picnic, the summer outing, the field day, when all members of the Business Men’s Association dose shop and get together to play cannot but result in harmony and a better understanding. Stiffness and formahty can’t last long in the the baseball game between the fat men and the slim ones. The sourest grouch in the association is apt to become almost human under the influences of the sack or potato races, while the hatchet faced, thin-lipped cashier who has a reputation of having smiled back in ’96, is more apt to thaw under the stories and the luncheon un der the trees than he is if he re mains secluded in his money cage. These get-together meetings are far-reaching. Bill Jones who al ways hated his competiter, will go back to town laughing at the story the hated one told, and, like as not, will get into the habit of dropping by his store to hear more of those stories and inci dentally, talk over business mat ters with him. Town spirit and good business grow out of pleas ant relations. Busin*** Harmony. Tfris has been a good season for business men’s outings, pic nics, field days and other summer sports. And they have served a good purpose. Business harmony is an absolute necessity to a com munity. It brings a closer co operation to business organiza tions. Boards of trade are worth less if they are allowed to become hot beds of petty jealousies, bick erings and cut-throat methods be tween the members. A great business organizations also * few officers are al- the work and the The People has been urged by a number of men from different parts o£ the county to agitate the question of better road crossings over the several lines of railroads in the county, which, in many instances, have become a menace to the safety of-the travelling pub lic. The worst one thdt we can call to mind at this time is that on the Barnwell-Blackville public road, just beyond the poor yard. The approach on one side is very steep, rough and entirely too narrow for safety, while the crossing itself is both nerve-rack ing, and damaging to passing ve hicles. We are not familiar with the law and don’t know whether it w the duty of the county, the town or the individual to take the matter up with the railroed com panies, but it is a condition that should be remedied—and that very speedily. We have been told of one Barnwell lady driver who narrowly averted running her car off the embankment re cently. Why take chances? By the grace of God, Barnwell was spared a costly conflagration Saturday night, when the opera house went up in smoke. For tunately there was little or no wind blowing at the time to spread the flames to nearby buildings, in which event the main business portion of the town would probab ly have been destroyed.* The town has no adequate means of fighting fire, the present system of waterworks being incapable of withstanding sufficient pressure to be of much use. And yet there are those who oppose a bond is sue for improvement along this line! ODD BITS OF NEWS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY Worry Ov*r the War Causes English Woman to Us* Cosmetics. Milbern, 0.—J.

Chosen Vice-President by Association of Attorney Generals. Thomas H. Peeples, attorney gen eral of South Carolina, was elected vice-president of the Association of Attorney Generals of the United States at its meeting in San Francisco, the last of which was held Wednesday, September 22. Mr. Peeples returned to Columbia Wednesday night, having left for the West September 9. He was the only Southern man elected to office. Mr. Peeples, the youngest attorney general attending the well altendtd convention, said yesterday that a num ber of interesting problems were dis cussed, most interesting of which was the paper by Attorney General Webb of California, on ‘The Alien Law. The subject is of vital importance to the people of the West especially, due to legislation which has been passed regarding to admission and rights of Japanese and Mongolians to become land owners in California. All of the papers, he said, were interesting, in stinctive and beneficial. Mr. Peeples received assurances from many people in the West, Demo crats and Republicans, of their approval of President Wilson’s foreign policy.- The State, Oct. 1.
