In competition •with the other two newspapers of Barnwell County, The Barnwell Sentinel and The Willi?ton Way, the contract for publishing all county advertising was awarded to The Barnwell People at the regular monthly meeting of the Board of County Directors Tuesday. This means that the quarterly reports of the Treasurer and Directors, the an nual Police of the Treasurer, Audi tor’s notices and any special adver tising from these offices will appear exclusively in The People during the life of the contract. Heretofore this advertising has appeared in all three newspapers, but the new Board of Directors deemed it wise to let the contract to the lowest bidder, thus saving the county considerable mon ey. In addition to approving claims, the Board acted on other business Tuesday. Final action on several important matters was deferred un til the June meeting. « BARNWELL COUNTY MEN BUNCOED OUT OF MONEY One Victim ’Touched” for $75 and Another Loses $59.

Cox, who is said to have fleeced at lea&t two owners of steam boilers in Barnwell County out of substantial sums of money, was arrested in Atlanta, Ga., Friday and held under a $2,000 bond. Davis, or Ccx, was in Barnwell about ten days ago, posing as a govern ment boiler inspector. As such, he inspected and condemned the boiler at Mr. Terrie Richardson’s sawmill. He did not leave Mr. Richardaon hopeless, however,, but told him that he could get him the necessary parts to put the boiler in A-l condition at a substantial saving. The necessary parts, it is understood, amounted to $75, which Mr. Richardaon paid him.

Dense clouds of smoke were pouring from the third story windows and the roof of the building when the fire department arrived, and it seemed that the fire was burning between the ceiling and roof. The blase was finally located in the closet, however, and was quickly extinguished, although the smoke continued for some time, giv ing the impreaeion that the fire was still burning. Jhe greatest damage was done by smoke and water, the letter being thrown from the hotel's line of hoae before the arrival of the department, the letter using ehemi- n. the rvmaiMkr sue dsvuted to raeee $114 * n* »t Two White Mm Hold Up Travetliag Salesman sad Get $114.

If the farmer has been induced to buy any of the many patented or se cret mixtures which are being sold at many times the price at which the plain. calcium arsenate-molasses mixture can be made, he should test the plain mixture alongside the other by applying it to a few rows, and thus discover for,himself the relative efficiency of the two. The farmer should make two or three^ more applications of the mo lasses-calcium arsenate mixture at weekly intervals until about July 1, at which time all the old weevils will have emerged from hibernation.
