A Suggested Solution.

m
The People-Ssntinel lr not concerned
with the present controversy between
the County Delegation and the Board
of County Commissioners, other than
the interest that any taxpayer has
in the affairs of the county. As an
nounced at the time of the consoli
dation of the Peonle and the Sentinel,
this nsner is not in politics and is
controlled bv no clique ,clan nor fact
ion. Our obiact is to give our readers
the news of Barnwell County and do
what we can. in our bumble \#*y. to
nromote the best interests of the
countv as a whole
Without in any way discussing the
merits of the present controversy, we
hsve a suggestion to offer that we
hone will do much to abolish the
friction that has marked roadbuilding
in tbs countv in the past. Briefly, it
is this: Abojish the chaingapg and
let each township do its own road-
I 1 "
building, in the same way that the
several school districts now imnrove
their school buildings. -For instance,
if Great Cypreat township wants to
improve its public roads, let it lew
a sufficient tax to take yire of the
work and award the contract to the
lowest bidder. If, on the other hand.
Great Cvpress townshio decides that
its roads are good enough, the tax
payers in the town shin will be saved
that amount of monev each year. By
this method, the people of one town
ship caniiot charge that th^ir tax
money is being used to build and im
prove the roads of another townshio.
If BamweU school district decides
that a larger and mare up-to-date
school building is necessarv. the tax
payers of Williston school district are
not asked to pay a part of the cost,
a special tax is levied on the peo-
le of the Barnwell School district.
Let's apply the same system to town
ship roadbuilding and get away from
this eternal bickering and squabbling.
la the idea feasible or not? We
Would like to hear from our readers
along thts line.

LETTERS AND RESOLUTIONS
IN PRESENT CONTROVERSY
CONTINUED FROM FIFTH PAGE
Senator A. B. Patterson,
E. A. Brown, Representative,
D. W. Heckle, Representative.
The resolutions which you served
on us today in response to our re
quest for your assistance in negotiat
ing a loan of 815„000.00 to pay current
and future expenses for the remain
der of the year came as quite a shock
and surprise to us._
This is to put you on notice that
this is the only appropriation on
which the funds are exhausted, and
our purpose jn floating this loan was
to supply the necessary funds for
meeting current and future expenses
for the balance of the year in con
nection with the chaingang and raods
and bridges, and that if will be nec
essary to purchase feed for the mules
and convicts until some disposition
can be made of the mules and con
victs. In the opinion of the Board
if these mules should be (hit on the
market at this,time at present mar
ket prices, the County would sustain
a loss of several thousand dollars.
While the Board has not taken any
official action in regard to the matter,
I feel it my duty to bring the matter
to yout attention.
Yours very truly,
E. C. MATTHEWS,
Chairman Board Directors
Barnwell County.

chaingang, roads and bridges for
the twelve calendar months of 1925,
has been spent bv the County Board
of\Directors in eight months.
This ig a wasteful and unheard ex
penditure of the County tax money
and especially when so little work
has been accomplished.
/.The Delegation which is charged
'with the responsibility of accounting
to the tax payers for the money which
U *p*nt ty“RIIMfilfr^epar^tr«f^
the County Government is unwil
ling to appropriate further money to
he squandered in this manndr by said
Board of Directors.
We have called upon them for
their resignation so that a Board of
business men, free from preiUdice or
jealousies, and in whose ability and
integrity we have confidence, might
be chosen to administer the affairs of
the County. The members of said
Board have refused to tender their
reaignation.
THEREFORE, he it resolved by
the Legislative Delegation in meeting
assembled, that no further appropria
tion be made, of any funds, to he
expended by the present Board of
County Directors, either for the re
mainder of this year, or for the year
of 1926, if they still hold office. And
that said Board be directed forthwith
to take so
such action as is necessary to
commit the County chaingang in the
Stats Penitentiary. _ ‘x /
Further that they do forthwith sell
and dispose of mules, tractors and
equipments of every kind used for
read building purposes, and deposit
the ftmds received therefrom with
the County Treasuureur, to be by
him held for disposal under the Legis
lative authority to be enacted by the
the coming session of
Savannah, OS.-BeHeving that ree-
reatfona] entertainment should have
»n important part on Us program, the
Georgia State Fair management has
booked a large field of amusement
for the visitors to Savfcnah during the
season. October 26-31, inclusive. The
schedule is considered the finest ever
booked. It includes such a rast vari-
ety of entertainment that everybody
ought to be pleased.
Thfe collection of amusements has
as its chief attractions automobile
races, harness races, high class hip
podrome acts, spectacular fireworks,
a number of clean midway bills; band
music, football games, and other fea
tures. 1
.. Thfc midway will be a new bouie-
rard of Joy and pleasure at the Geor
gia State Fair this year with Zeldman
A Pollie Shows in position. This ag
gregation travels in a. special train
of thirty-five cars and has some of
the lartest additionr ever seen on state
fair midways.
Nine splendid, hair raising acro-
bratlc and contortionist acts have been
booked for the grand stand audiences
afternoon and evening. Gorgeously
costumed girls, dazzling scenery, grip
ping music, these are tl»e many beau
ties of this elaborate production. Kan-
erva and Leonhart Company will pre
sent three different trapeze and tight
rope acts which have taken big all
over the South. Perkin’s Trio will
give a comedy of bumps and tglls la
a hay wagon act that should prove the
best of its kind ever seen in Savan
nah. As an eacore, “Uncle Hector
and Family At the Fair" also will
prove a riot of fun and laughter.
There are others, too, that will de
light entertainment seekers. They
are: August, the upside down mar
vel; LeRoy, only living man who can
dislocate his neck; Little Bit. swing
ing ladder and slack wire artist; Pel-
lette. a one-man pantomime baseball
game, a scream from start to finish.
There will be two days of automo
bile races, in which* noted speed
demons, using specially' built ma
chines, will strive to hang up new
dirt track records. These races will
be held Monday and Saturday after
noons. Tbe horse show will be held
vftwo nights, the program not being
completed yet. a historical pageant
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
nights, portraying the early life of
Georgia, will be staged undef direc
tion of John B. Rogers Production
Company. This will be put on by 500
people of Savannah and surrounding
territory. »
Harness races will be held otv Tues
day,* Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day afternoons with 61,000 purses on
each day. The animals coming to Sa
vannah hare won a number of races in
the East And Florida resorts and they
will make very close matches on the
half mile turf at Savannah.

WHAT 18 EVAPORATED MILKY
Did you ever etop to figure out ths
exact meaning of “Evaporated Milk”?
The word ^evaporated” may give you
the idea that In the process of evapo
ration the milk has lost some of Its
valuable qualities. It hasn’t. It has
lost only water. Sixty per cent of the
water is evaporated from the milk
after it comes fresh from the cow.
The first step in processing the milk
is the evaporation, when a portion of
the water content is removed. Tbe
second step is the homogenization,
which Insures the cream being dis
tributed evenly throughout the milk.
The third is the canning. The fonrtb
ia sterilization, which takes place in
the can when the milk is subjected to
sufficient beat to destroy the bacteria.
Thus evaporated milk remains as pure
and fresh in the container as when it
foamed into the pall in the farmer’s
barn.
Evaporated milk is now generally
recognized as the freshest milk avail
able to those not living on farms and
producing their own milk. For fresh
ness in milk means purity.
Transportation of milk from the
dairy country to the city is well syate-
matized and rapid and yet owing to
the immense quantities of milk, that
must be rushed in daily, much of It
must be obtained at considerable dis
tances and a large per cent is neces
sarily some days old when It Is de
livered by the milkman.
Evaporated milk, on the other hand,
is last Plght’a ml this morning’s milk.
From the dairy barn, always under
rigid Inspection, it is hurried by farm
ers to factories located in the heart of
tbe dairy country and delivered whet
it is fraih. Evaporated milk ia canned
Just at Its “freshest moment,” when
It is- in -tts fteeet "«rte. ^It la YfffVef
allowed to get old. The whole proc
ess from cow to can requires only a
few hours. It may be interesting tc
know that the process of steHllzioi
takes place after the milk has beer
sealed In its containers. Once in in
sterilized containers, there Is no pos
slbility of deterioration. . .
The sterilizing of evaporated milk
Insures its’ purity—It makes a saf«
milk, for the children. Evaporated j.
milk is boiled milk, and this makes It <
more digestible. X/
It may be used for any milk need
witri safety and economy.
For ordinary cream needs, use tl
just as it comes from the can. Whea
a rich milk is desired, add an equal
part of water. For cooking and bak
ing. two parts water and one part milk
will usually suffice.
