The Curtiss bi-plaue r which arrived
in Barnwell from Bamberg on Monday
afternoon cf last week, remained in
this city until Monday of this Wink,
when it left for Allendale in charge
of Pilot C. II, Siebenhausen and « ar-

During its stay in Barnwell, many
people took advantage of the oppor
tunity to see the city from the tlouds.
Most of them elected to ‘take the rs
straight,” but Miss Thelma Cuttino
and Messrs J. Colton Weeks and A. E.
Martin consented to let Mr. Siben*
hausen exhibit his skill as a stunt-
flier. Hundreds of spectators were
thrilled as they watched the machine,
hundreds of feet in the air, do flips,
k»op-the loops, tail-spins, nose-dives
and “the falling leaf.” At times it
looked as though the pilot had lost

Famous Women Adopt Armenian Waifs
W y Houseal, the Dutch weather
prophet, says the cotton crop this year
will be approximately half a million
bales below that of 1919. This reduc
tion will be-brought about by the ad
verse weather conditions, he says, the
area of excessive precipation in the
Southwest moving eastward into the
South Atlantic states. The planting
of early vegetables may be begun now
with practical assurance oft immunity
from killing frosts. He says:
“February is the climatic morkh of
the winter. It ie the month of the
winter in which the lowest tempera
tures have occured in the South—
notably February 14, 1899, when-tem
perature eight degrees below zero was
recorded along the 34th parallel (in
the clay region 30 miles north Co- I
lumbia). In February, 1727, St. John's
river in Florida was frozen over, with
the most severe weather
in Charleston.

Acting upon a resolution presented
by the local Board of Health, the
February term of the Court of Gener
al Sessions for Barnwell County come
to an abrupt close Monday afternoon
after a session of one day. It was
not generally known that the “flu”
situation in the county was such as
to make it necessary to close the
court, as so far as is known no such
action has been taken relative to the
schools, churches and moving picture
theatre*. However, the authorities
were unwilling to take any chances
and after clearing the jail, the court
adjourned sine die.
The following is a list of the cases
disposed of Monday:
Milledge Braxton plead guilty to
the charge of housebreaking and lar
ceny and pas sentenced to 15 months
at hard labor on the chain gang
or in the State penitentiary.
John •Davis plead guilty to tha
charge of larceny aad was t?nt*nead

“The area of excessive precipitation
which has existed in the Southwest al
most continuously since August, 1918,
will move to the South Atlantic states

on Thursday, February 5th, for the
purpose of arranging plans for their
summer school held each year at Or
angeburg in connection with the State
Normal Teachers Class located there
under the instructiqn of Mrs. W\ D.
Rice.
It was the unanimous opinion of
trds that trained teacher* are
needed more than ever before and to
this end it was decided that teachers
should be give!} aid in 'attending this j

that all nearby counties should be in- <

“The railroads are soon to be re

feel that this wage controversy which
is with the federal railroad adminis
tration should be adjusted before they*
are released. Our representatives
heve been in conference with the di
rector general for ten days. He has
not promised anythin^ and we do not
believe he is going to do so. We de
cided to issue the strike call before the
railroad administration should have
opportunity to pass the burden to the
private owners of the lines.
“The public should knowJUMr. Bar
ker continues, “that this strike”*call is
not something that has been decided
upon precipitately but dates back to
last July. Wage demands were pre-
sented to the railroad administration
at that time and brotherhood member
ship authorized a strike to enforce
them. We held a strike in abeyance
however, upon the president’s request
that he be permitted an opportunity
to bring about a reduction in living
costs. He asked for a reasonable
time whdcb lu* fixed at 60 or 90 days.
We have waited six months and there
has been no reduction in the cost of
living.”
