After a couple of days of Spring-^
like weather, old King Cold again vis
ited Barnwell Wednesday of last week
and covered this section under his
mantle of snow and sleet. The thur-
mometer began to tumble Tuesday
night and by the following morning
was near the freezing point. The
Weather continued to grow colder and
jring the day the—rttin— tarne.l - to
snow and sleet. By nightfall roads,
trees and houses were covered with a
coating of ice and sleet.

Income Tax Assistance.
Field agents of the South Carolina
Tax Commission will begin their tour
mf the State this month and will con
tinue through the greater part of
March, according to itinerary made
public by the tax commission. ’ As
sistance will be rendered by the agfcnts
to citizens and residents of the State
in preparing their State income tax
returns. One of these gentlemen
will visit Barnwell February 24th and
will ly glad to help any taxpayer
who desires his assistance. The State
income tax amounts to one-third of
the federal tax as figured under the
act of Congress passed in 1921.
The joke seems to be on Augusta.
Theatre goers in tnat provincial city,
to say nothing of a large number of
visitors, were disappointed Monday
night when the play, “Simon Called
Peter,” was prevented from being
shown by means of an injunction.
Manager *E. Carter Price, of Ahe
Vamp Theatre, was among the dis
appointed ones and he immediately
got busy and made arrangements for
the play to be shown in Barnwell
Tuesday night. In spite of the
tremely short notice and lack of ade
quate advertising, a capacity audience
was in attendance and failed to see
why any objection to its being played
in Augusta should have been raised.
The following new,- item is taken
from yesterday’s issue of The Augus
ta Chronicle:
“Barnwell, S. , Feb. 3.—The play,
“Simon Called Peter,” played one
performance here tonight at the Vamp
Theatre to a packed house. The play
was put on by a company of capable
actors and the large audience left the
theatre very .much pleased with the
show.
“Because of various rumors that
have been afloat, it was thought at
first thai tfieru inight be some sug
gestive or immoral points brought
out in the play, hut those who attend
ed expecting to see something sensa
tional were disappointed.”

into which she has been plunged by

to the fact that “progressiveness'
does not necessarily mean the spend

A Good Show Coming.
The day of the cheap musical show
is over. Now, n >thing hut the best
will go. The costumes must reflect
the latest modes, must be of thefinest
materials and most advanced designs;
the chorus must b'* prettier and clev
erer. The public has been getting
accustomed to seeing wonderful spec
tacles, magnificent costuming and
gorgeous scenery, and is willing to
pay the price for them. Con-equent-
ly, it is up to the producer to delivei
the' goods.
The -Saucy Baby Sensational Musi
cal -Comedy Co., heralded as “the
wonder show of the century,” which
will be the attraction at the Vamp
Theatre at Barnwell on Tuesday
Feb. 10th, is a popular lut^ and is
packing them everywhere. It is a
production which represents a sin
cere effort to give die theatre going
.public something just a little more
pleasing to the ey\ a little more rich
and colorfuL a little more in the way
of artistic* combination of effects than
any show that_ has gone before ii.
