which was so successfully presented
in Williston November 18th by the
faculty of the Williston-Elko High
School, will he the attraction at the
Vamp Theatre in Barnwell next Tues
day evening, December 6th. The play
is being brought hero under the aus

Aside from the excellence of the play
itself, it is hoped that this will be
added reason for a full attendance by
the people of this city and section.
In speaking of the initial produc
tion, The Williston Way had the fol
lowing to say:
“The Dust of the Earth,” the play
presented by the Williston-Elko fac
ulty at the High School building last
Friday evening was a success from
every angle. _A large crowd, which
filled nearly every seat of the spacious
auditorium, were delightfully enter
tained by one of the most interesting
plays ever presented here. The lines
were good and the acting all that
could he desired. It is impoas*bk'
with everyone seemingly specially
jCAlied it.a. t»k(fc thoiv past rwvk»
The success of the campaign has been
due to the earnest work of thousands
of citizens who give their services
freely every year to help organize and
conduct the seal sale in their com
munities and who later aid the State
and county associations carry on a
definite program.

As there was only one to take the
part of an old Southern darky, first
mention will be made of Joe D. HJim

Mose” to perfection. His impersona

amateur acting as the writer has ever

Suffers Fractured Skull When Car
Turns Over Three Times After
Collision With Tractor.
* . i
Paul H. Owens, a local garage man,
was seriously if not fatally injured
hero Saturday morning whep his car
collided with a State Highway De
partment tractor on the Barnwell-Al-
lendale highway and was turned over
three times. Coy Brabham, the only
other occupant of the automobile, es-_
caped wjjh hardly, a scratch. Mr.
Owens is now in an Augusta hospital
waging his battle for life a nd attend
ing physicians state that if he lives,
ttn days he will have a chance to re
cover. It is understood that he had a
hemorrhage from the brain Tuesday,
since which time his mind has been
clearer.
Mr. Owens was rushed to a local
drug store, where first aid treatment
was administered by a physician. He
was later removed to his home and at
that time was bleeding from his left
ear and spitting up blood. A short
time later he was carried to a hos
pital ia Augusta, where an X-ray
examination revealed a fracture of
the skull at the base of the brain, his
injuries being of such a nature that
very little hope was held out for liis
recovery. , •
Mtssss. Owens and Brabham were
retpming. to Barnwell gfUr
rtrnrd t-iiiti
partly across the road at a point'
where employees of'the Highway De
partment were installing a culvert in
a ditch in front of a residence. Mr.
Owens, for some reason, evidently did
not notice the tractor until he was
almost on it. He turned his wheel
quickly to avoid a collision and the
rear end of his car swerved and
nashed into the tractor with such
force that it was broken in two. The
car driven by Mr. Owens turned over
three times and was almost complete
ly wrecked. The tractor was not ia
motion at the time, the driver being
just in the a ct of climbing into the
seat when the collision occurred. It is
understood that the highway was un
obstructed for a space of about ten''
feet.

Of the naMpnal wdirf

that Mrs. Lemon furnished the editor
with the recessary data and it was at
her urgent request that her name was
not mentioned. The writer fully ap
preciates the fact that she was of in
valuable assistance. This newspaper
has always cooperated fully with her
in her public-spirited work and this
explanation is made in order that
her friends may know that the omis

her modesty.—The Editor.)

Mr. Hare predicted a change from
the planting of cotton as the great
staple crop of the South to the Rais
ing of truck, fruit and other food
products, which the country was
splendidly fitted for. He stated that
thu South had this year alone shipped
17,000 cars of truck to the North and
West. He advocated a truck shipping
bill making it a misdemeanor to re
ceive perishable farm commodities
and make false statements regarding
the condition of the same.
