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.

BOLD ROBBERY ON ROAD
NEAR BARNWELL MONDAY
R. L. Davis, alias T. L. 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.
This happened on Saturday, April
21st, and the “inspector” was to in-
COSTLY FIRE AVERTED
IN BARNWELL TUESDAY
Business Section of City Threatened
by Blase in HeteL
The Diamond Hotel'and the entire
business section of Bemwell were
threatened by a fire that originated
in the linen closet at the hotel late
Tuesday afternoon. 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-

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

weekly intervals until about July 1,
at which time all the old weevils will
have emerged from hibernation.
