Talking About
Our Neighbors
By B. H. WATTS
The congregation of the Barnwell
Methodiat church hag been invited by
the congregation of the Presbyterian
church to use their own church for
evening worship until such time as
the local Methodists will have com
pleted their own building. This gen
erous offer has been accepted with
tiianks, the first oif the evening ser
vices under this new arrangement to
start June 12th. There is a fine co
operative spirit among the denomi-
natians prevailing in Barnwell, which
augurs well for the community.
farming industry.
It seems to me that landowners in
Barnwell County and the entire coast
al region, as for that matter, ought
to plant their idle acre* to pine trees
and thus start a development project
which in time would eyrich them, for
if our farmers can not make any
money from cultivating so much land
—one tliird of it will give paying re
turns planted to trees. Reforesta
tion is what is needed more than any-
thhtg else. Slash pine is of more
rapid growth than all the other vari-
etien and yields more turpentine than
lon^leaf.
My good friend, Judgp 1 John K.
Snelling, of the probate court, tells me
that he is not expecting much - of a
June landfldide in the marrying line,
though suatfaco rindiaatons would
pont that way. He says this is^a
lean year, financially, and therefore
swains arc hesitating about stepping
out. The mating season here in
Barnwell, according to the Judged i:
fall. Having at one time been in the
newspaper business himself, I drop
ped in on the Judge the other morn
ing. Because I have some mighty
good fHends back in Georgia of the
same name I wanted to know more
about this genial and popular county
official, who it has been my pleasure
to know., He has been in office for
more than a quarter of a century jmd
is still going strong.
Numerous Features
For Gala Occasion
I have been impressed since com
ing to Barnwell seven months and
more ago with thl wonderful work
being carried on among the farm
women of the community by Miss
Eliasbeth McNab, the very efficient
County Home Demonstrator, having
the co-operation and direction, wince
she began her work soon after my
Arrival, of Miss Jane Ketchen, M ; ss
Bessie Harper and others employed
by the State. Miss McNab, I am told.
Is a big factor In transforming the
county into a dairy, poultry and
bracking section, which has gone a
long way towards laying the foun
dation for years of sohd, rfteady, ac
tive growth of an all-anportant and
necessary by-product of the
Total Lunar Eclipse
Is Due on June 15th
♦ 1
A total eclipse of the moon, visi
ble throughout the United Startes, is
due eaftly in the morning of June 15.
The eclipse will begin soon after
midnight, become complete about 2
o’clock and end about 3.30 o’clock.
The beginning will be visible gener
ally in the Atlantic Ocean, in NonCh
America except the northern beder,
in South America and in the Pacific
ocean. The ending will be visible gen
erally in North Americ a % except the
extreme eastern part, in (the Pacific
ocean, and kr> Australia.
The duration of the totality will
be twenty-two minutes. The dura
tion is less than one-quarter of what
it would be if the moon were exactly
at its node.
The node is “either of tw’o point# at
which the intersection of the planes
of two orbits, especially those of a
satellite and its nrimary. pierces its
celestial sphere; or, specifically, the
pclnt where the orbit of a heavenly
body intersects the ecliptic.’’

The fourth annual Water Carnival,
June 10-11, will bring ercugh pco ie
from South Carolina a nd South Geor
gia to Savannah to overt*.-: the hct.' t.
•t »» believed,_ Thijsty"o6unties are
lined up in the attendance prospectus,
all of those sending queens and offi
cial delegations besides scores of
motoring parties.
The two days will be so taken up
with entertainment as to be attrac
tive enough for visitors to make a
full week-end of their trip. From
the time of the grand parade of
r
floats on June 16-11 a. m., until the
closing episode of the magnificent
(pageant ou Saturday night there will
be a holiday Atmosphere prevailing
from Savannah’s railroad stations to
the tide-kissed sands at Tybee.
Following are the events, summar-
ired: Friday, June 10, 9:3tf a. m.,

The very fact that the national
conventaon of U. S. Good Roads As-
scejation will be in session during
the week, June 6-11, with upwards
of 3,000 delegates frem all parts of
the country, bids fair to swell the
Water Oarr^ival attendance to fig
ures greatly exceeding other years
Tlvere is a joint movement on foot
between the carnival association and
the Gtood Roadg convention manage-
mertt to have six visiting governors
act as judges for the beauty contest.
^ The floats parade being ‘worked
up by Oscar Kulman and committee
will out-do parades of other ca’rprivals
in the elaborate outlay of automobile
decorations. Merchants have joined
generously in this feature, each en
tering a float on which a visiting coun
ty queen and her aitiendanta will ride.
Respective merchants will be hosts to
these queens during their visit, and
all manner of entertainment is being
arranged by the indivdual hosts. The
hne of march will be through uptown
section with divers and bands' and
noise-making outfits.
The winning beauty at the contest
that afternoon at Tybee will go to
Wildwood, N. J., this summer to
compete with young women from sev
eral startes. She will be know&i as
“Miss Savannah” and will be ac
companied by the Queen of the Car
nival. She will be received .by the
mayeir of Philadelphia in the “City
of Brotherly Love” and will have a
delightful trip without expense.
Socially, the queens’ banquet and
ball at Tybrisa will be the climax of
lihe carnival. T. P. Saffold, presi
dent of the Savannah Water Carnival
€
Association, wil be the toast-master
at the banquet. Officials of Tybee,
Savannah, Chatham County will he
present as well as the leading fig
ures in i/he carnival association. This
will be a brilliant affair.
Outstanding among - the second
day’s events are the speed boat and
out-board motor regatta at Wilming
ton River at Thunderbolt, and the
gorgeous pageant j,n the evening at
the municipal stadium. In this new
structure several thousand people
will be seated comfortably to witness
a pageant that will close the car
nival. The regatta at Thunderbolt
will have a number of exceptionally
sturdy, speedy craft from Florida.
There will be ten races' starting at
2 o'clock. This department of t^e

depends upon how a home is kept than
upon any other thing.
1 i
Previously oiir schools have devoted
little time to this important subject.
Pupils are taught geometry, geogra
phy and arithmetic, they are taught
latin and music and all sorts of plain
and ornamental) information,but no
home-keeping.
It,is necessary to elevate the busi
ness of home-making into an art, to
get people enthusiastic about it and
to impress upon the mind of youth
its dignity and importance.
.. At the State Teachers’ College in
Pittsburg, Kansas, they have estab
lished a house for the porpoae of de
veloping right standards of courtesy,
hospitality and social graces^tc., all
necessary in the successful manage
ment of a home.
They have secured a hous<j,.such a
one as would be used by a family of
moderate means, and instruct pupils
how to take care of R.
o' 0
They have a house manager who
plans menus, does marketing, presides
at the table and so on. They teach
the girls how to cook,prepare food and
keep the kitchen in order.
Another girl assists the cook in pre
paring salads, cares for the dining
room and acts as waitress.
Still another is called hciisekeeper
She dusts and keeps the house in clean
order. *,
laundress tend to the house linen
and stokes the furnac*;.
The duties are rotated so that a stu
dent gets practice in every kind of
home work.
They have guests and often enter
tain the president of the college and
the faculty.
The house is managed on a budget
plan and all expenditures ale limited.
The records are kept in permanent
form.
The house is self-supprting and the
students pay for room and board.
As there- is no child in the house
they are going to adopt a thild and
study child training.
Since so much depends upon the
way a home is kept this sort of train
ing seems to be 'sensible.
