Mrcc Oios After Long Illness i ■ \ Dr. L. M. Mace died at hia home here at 2:45 Sunday morning after an illness of several months following a serious operation. Although his death was not unexpected, the news that 'ie had answered the final summons brought sadness to a host of friends •vho had hoped against hope that he would win out in 'his manly fight , against the Grim Reaper. His body was laid to rest that afternoon in the Barnwell Baptist Churchyard with ^Vtasonic honors, the funeral ser vices being conducted at the residence by Dr. W. M. Jones. ~ r $ — 7——r— v—— Dr. Mace, who was just in the prime of life, being only 34 years of age, came to Barnwell a number of years ago and after a few months r esidence here engaged in the drug •usiness. He was very successful and at the time of his death was a part ner in the firm of Mace and Deason. He was very popular tfith the people • cf this city and always took an active nart in civic and religious affairs. He was a Mason, a Shriner and A member of the Baptist Church. ' Several years ago he married Miss k Marie Baxley, who, with one son and * one daughter, survive him. He also ’eaves two sisters, Miss Ethel Mace, of Bamberg, and Mrs. Elizabeth Mauldin, of Hampton; and three brotheiV Messrs. Emory Mace, of St. Louis, Mo., Archie and Victor Mace, of Hampton, who have the sin cere sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. The large number of beautiful flora! designes that covered his last resting place attested to the respect and esteem in which Dr. Mace was held by the people of his adopted home.

It is understood that the Methodist Church will also be tom down at an early date to be replaced by a mo 'em brick structure. - Smut Control of Oats. 1 Every year there is quite a large /damage to the oat crop as a result of smut. Most farmers when plant ing wheat neaHy' always treat their seed for the prevention of smut, ■however, with oatj^hey do not. Smut in oats can be prevented the same way as is done with wheat. The treatment is very inexpensive and would result in many cases •*' a Jarge saving. Them are two methods> of treatment with the use of formalde-^ hyde, one called wet treatment and the other dry. • The greatest objection to the wet treatment is after seed lave been soaked, it is necessary for them to be spread out to dry before planting with a drill, with the dry tioatment this objection is overcome. Wet treatment consists of the following: One pint of commercial formalde hyde (40 per cent.) .jn thirty gallons of water, soak seed for ten minutes and they are ready to plant wet or be spread out to dry if not to be planted at once. Dry treatment: Mix about eight parts of water with one par of commercial formaldehyde and this solution sprinkled over the seed as they are piled in piles on the flow. Such amount of this solution should be. used so {hat one pint of the origi- nafc-eotmnercial formaldehyde is used to each forty or fifty bushels of grain. The pile of grain is then covered with lap or some cloth covering and red to stafid for three or four jVfter which they are ready for If not used immediately they should be- spread out in order to allow the fumes of formaldehyde to go away. Any assistance necessary in treating seed or in the,purchase of material will be gladly furnished by •W.—H, G. Bpylstpn, Co.

Klutz, headquarters in Columbia, made a very ^earnest, appeal to the school children at the Barnwell High school building on Thursday monting, when she presented the work' in a very forceful manner. Mrs. Schumpert caught the attention of the children when she stated that she had a story to tell of the destitute children of the Near East. ^ She spoke very inter estingly of the Golden Rule House Party Week, which begins on Dec. 1st and winds up on Sunday, Decem ber 7th., this day to be observed as Golden Rule Sunday. She spoke feel ingly of the 40,o6o little orphans liv ing in American orphanages, sleep ing on wooden cots or mattresses on the floor, eating from long bare tables such food as could be had. A 12- inch Golden Ruler was exhibited to the' children. This ruler had slots cut thereon for insertion of twelve dimes, one foot of dimes being enough to support a child for one week, and they were asked to measure their gifts by the “Golden Rule.” Mrs. Schumpert is being sent out by headquarters to organize the Gold en Rule Campaign in Barnwell Coun ty ahd has met with a hearty re sponse in every town whAh she has visited. Col. H. D. Calhoun, of Barn well, has been chosen as County Chaiiman; Mrs. A. H. Ninestein local Chairman for Blackvilie; Mrs. G. M. Green local chairman for Barnwell, with Miss Zllma Diamond as assist ant. Chairmen for the towns of Wil- liston. E'ko, Dunbarton, Kline, etc. will be named at once. The hearty cooperation of the superintendents and teachers of the various schools of the county ‘is as sured and Barnwell County expects to ero over the top tn the observance of Golden Rule House Party Week.

At the October meeting of the Mis sionary Society of .the ^Barnwell Methodist Church, by request the women from the various auxiliaries of the other churches of this city united with us to hear Mrs. V. P. Bonner, whom Barnwell proudly claims as her own. .Previous an nouncement had been made that Mrs. Bonner’s address would he made to mothers, her subject being, “Dangers Confronting Youths of Today.” The large attendance, as well as the rapt attention accorded the- speaker, attested the fact of deep-felt interest on the part of mothers in this timely topic—perhaps the most needed and the most vital of all topics of this day in which we live. At a later date Mrs. Bonner also made a talk at the school house to girfs 12 years of age and over. If snly every mother and every girl of our broad land might be privileged to hear such a message there would 'certainly be fewer wrecked, wretch- cd young lives and fewer broken hearts’ down through the years to r- come. x Because of Mrs. Bonner’s broad ex- pb^ience and study, her inrat ? refine ment. hep pleasing personality and, most of Jill, her entire consecration, she is neculiarly fitted for this delicate and difficult presentation. , “Where our Captain bids us"go ~ - * Tin not ours to murmur ‘No.’ He that gives the fevord and shield t Chooses too the battlg field 6n which we are to fight the foe.” 1 Sheriff Destroyed 2 Stills Last Week • Sheriff B.

A community Bible class has been organized here, which will be called The Dora Perkins Community Bible class, in honor of Mrs. Dora Perkins, an extension worker, in the H. L. Stevens evangelistic party. who has just closed a meeting here. the local field Friday afternoon. The .BO') extra weight of the visitors 1 meant nothing in the young lives of the Barnwell aggregation and only their own loose playing in the first half was responsible for the fact that only three touch downs were made, two excellent chances to score being lost. In the last few minutes of play, Barnwell sacrificed a chance to score another touchdown when several sec ond string men were run in for actual playing experience. The features of the game were the end runs and gaina through the line by Carroll, the in terception of a forward pass and 20- yard run for a touchoown by Lemon, ’Barnwell’s diminutive quarterback, and the all round good playing of the entire Barnwell eleven. The local’s liqe was impregnable, the only gains made by the visitors being with for ward passes and one freak play. They failed to make a single first down with line bucks and end runs. Hampton has the makings of an excellent team, but the men are green and show the lack of proper coaching. Both teams ployed clean football and were better friends when the game ended than they were when the first whistle blew. The visitors re mained in Barnwell for supper and to attend a dance and the moving pict ure show. t Sylvania.

May Bridge Savannah Opposite Allendale sional meajrom Allendale met here with a similar delegation from Screven County for the purpose of consider ing the building of a highway t? the Savannah river. The highway on the South Carolina side is already under construction and it is considered high ly probably that work will begin be fore long on the Screven County side. A resolution requesting the building of a highway from Sylvania to a point on the Savannah River known as Burton’s Ferry, opposite the point to which the highway on the South Carolina side leads, was passed by the joint delegation Friday and sent to the Georgia State Highway Com mission. The questi'm was discussed from every angle by the members from both Allendale and Screven Counties. Senator R. P. Searson, of Allendale, J. M. Patterson and Dr. J. E.

Unloaded Gun Takes ^ Deadly Toll Again Olar, Oct. 18.—Dan Otheon, age 14, was shot accidently and almost in stantly killed, by Roy Fail, age It, one mile from Olar this morning at II o’clock. The boys with several others were engaged in picking cotton. Roy carriod his single barrel shotgun with him to the field this morning, and left it unloaded leaning against an old house. It appears that another boy loaded the gun and left it rocked. Roy, not knowing that the gun was loaded, later took it up, and doubt lessly handled it carelessly. A* a result the load was discharged into the stocnach, cheat and face of Dan, who was on his knees about 76 feet down a cotton row picking cottoa. Dan lived only ,a few minutes. A pitiful scene was witnessed by there who first arrived. Little Don lying dead besidei a cotton row and a few feet away lay Roy on a sheet of cot ton with his head in his mother’s lap, weeping as though his heart would break. They were surrounded by the other members of the party, who were sorely distressed. Dan Is the el lest child t*f hte mother, who was recently married to Lee Carroll. Roy is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
