Much interest was manifested in the Atlantic Coast Line-Clemson'Col lege Live Stock Special which visited Barnwell for several hours Thursday afternoon and exactly -1,086 persons saw the exhibits that are being car ried to various towns in the State, ac cording to an official check. The train came to Barnwell from Ellenton, where the morning was spent, and al most immediately people began to flock to the side-track where it was ‘‘parked.” V. W. Lewis, Livestock Agent for the Atlantic Coast Line, made a brief talk, stating the? object of the visit. Solomon Blatt, Esq., of Barnwell, welcomed the personnel of the train and those who had come to see the exhibits. Short talks were also made by H. G. Boylston, local farm-agent; H. Ward, district agent; J. R. Haw r - ins, Clemson livestock specialist; J. V. Quinn, Clemson Poultry specialist; R. E. Waters, Clemson dairy special ist, and L. H. Lewis, Clemson market ing specialist. Others with the party were L .S. Jeffords, Superintendent of the C. and W. C. Ry.; J. S. Matthews, Clemson dairy specialist; L. G. Neel, Clemson poultry specialist; J. E. Hooker, Clemson Agricultural engin eer, and A. B. Bryan, Clemson agri cultural editor. The train, as its name implies, seeks to make the farmer realize that in developing his live stock, hogs, dairy cow, sheep and poultry, he can round out the work on his farm and continue to run it successfully. This object is very aptly stated in the slo gan adopted by those in charge of the train: Home growm feed, The dairy cow, hog and hen, Will make independent Sout^ Carolina men. The train is sent out jointly by Clemson College Extension (depart ment and the Atlantic Coast Line rail road. It w r as at the Florence shops that the various cars were outfitted for then various purposes by the Atlantic Coast Line. They were then sent to Anderson and equipped with the various exhibits of live stock, feeds, charts and other incidentals by Clemson college for the tour of the State.

Each of the coaches is ^HLrally equipped with charts and fix tures suitable for its uses.

STANDARD BEARERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Special” of the tiain. The engine’also carries the name of the train on both sides while on its front is the picture of a handsome dairy bull. Next to the engine is the baggage car in which is carried a full supply of var'ed feeds for the poultry and live stock on board the train. Going from the front to the rear of the train, the * : _ # *. visitor is struck with the varied dis play and the aptness of the charts, each of which carries new thoughts and ideas for him or her to take home. Entering the first exhibit car, one finds the various kinds of poultry rec ommended by Clemson College as breeding stock for this section; means of parisite eradication, sanitary water ing troughs, sanitary feeding hopper for poultry, the proper feeds for pul lets, schedules for feeding,etc. Ex hibits of the old style and new style poultry houses make a contrast bound to hold anyone interested in poultry. The exhibit of clean brooding, clean feed and clean grounds to secure healthy chicks is a unique one. _In this car are two baloptican machines —they are not as dangerous as the name implies—which automatically display slides exemplifying the new ^^Lroved methods of dairying ~7Rnd ^nsing poultry. Another comer of the car has a picture that should be the most important thing on the en tire train to right thinking people. Lights flash on to show the under nourished child and then th^ child which receives the proper nourish ment. Charts on either side indicate the improper and the proper food for growing children, emphasizing the need of milk, vegetables, poultry and eggs, which can be grown at home. An outfit on this car also shows the process of egg-candling and the charts show' the various grades. The next car shows a section of the farmer’s hen house, as it ought to be, according to the direction of Clemson ^ college specialists, well lighted, clean, and well ventilated, althoug free of drafts. A cross-section of the brooder house for chickens comes next. Then comes dairy supplies, hog feeds, poul try feeds and equipment and supplies for earing for and feeding the family flocks and herds, all of which have been tried out and are recommended lay Clemson College. The dairy cows are on the next car. Several of these are young animals to indicate the best types. One Jersey cow from Clemson College has a yield of 10,122 pounds of milk and 561.7 pounds of butter fat to her credit, while opposite her is the Guernsey cow which gave 12,347.9 pounds of milk, or 641.5 pounds of butter fat in a year. The charts over the animals show the vailious records according to' tests made at the college. Several pure bred bulls are on board to show the proper type of animal dairy men should utilize. The -common ewe with her lamb of five months as large as its mother shows the need of a pure bred ram in breeding up sheep, and other stock on the farm. The various breeds of hogs recommended for this section are shown and charts indicate the need.of litters early in the year, quick feeding methods by self-feeders, so as to get the pigs ta market in the early fall at about six months age with weights at about 200 pounds. The “public address car” comes next. It Highway Work Starts In Very Near Future Local Committee Met With Depart ment Officiala Last Week and Removed Obstacles. A committee composed of J. W. Patterson, R. R. Moore, L. S. Still, Idia Brabham and G. W. Greene, members of tne Board of County Directors, Ed gar A. Brown, J. Julien Bush, J. M. Farrell and Q. A. Kennedy met witK the State Highway Commission in Columbia Tuesday of last week and completed arangement* for the sur face treatment of Routes 3, 78 and 37 and the grading and surfacing with sand-clay of Routes 39 and 64 in Barnwell County. Ag stated in last week’s issue of The People-Sentinel, the low bid for the surface treatment projects was about $100,000 more than the amount of the bonds, while the low bids on the other projects were a little less than the bondg issued. At the meeting in Columbia arrangements were completed whereby the work will be started as soon as the money is re ceived for the bonds and sufficient ad- Sue Barnwell County for Alleged Damages Three Suits of $5,000 Each Brought as Result of Automobile Acci- - dent Near Ulmer.

Cucumber Season at Blackville Has Proved Very Unsatisfactory. ~ Blackville, July 7.—Blackville, the largest cucumber market of the State, reports the close of the cucumber sea son with the total shipments around 300 cars. The season has not been a satisfactory one to the farmers as the price of their pet product, fell below their expectations, sometimes bringing only 30 cants per crate, the highest price ranging around $2.50. The season for swimming and fish ing is at its height and local spots are being sought. Holman’s bridge, which spans the Edisto River about 10 miles from town, is a favored spot for picnickers.

Williston, July 7.—While returning to Williston Thursday morning two automobiles, both owned ^ by We C> Smith, Jr., collided near his farm on the road between Williston and Beulah church. It seems that one car, driven by John Marshall Lee, turned back to ascertain what was delaying the sec ond car driven by Mr. Smith. The latter came out of a blind, farm road and the cars came together before either could be stopped. Guy M. Pen- ditional bends will be issued to finish the proposed system of highway;. * It seems that some opposition had developed against the proposed sur face treatment because the exact type of road that wilf be Constructed in this county was not generally under stood. The impression had gotten out that the highway department pro posed to put down a light layer of crushed rock and surface it with tar, whereas the specifications call for eight inches of “cement gravel” car rying a specified percentage of rock of a certain »ize; this will be packed to a thickness of four inches, 1,500 tons being used to the mile. A pene trating binder will then be applied orv ' which will be laid a coating of hot asphalt. When this has hardened, crushed rock will be put down and surfaced with tarvia or some siroilai, product, into which crushed rock will be rolled for a wearing surface. The surfaced road will be 20 feet in width, but the cement gravel will extend a foot on each side to serve as a shoul der and prevent the surface from breaking on the edges. When com pleted, the highway, to all intents and purposes, will be “practically a paved road. The roads to be built in Barnwell County will be the heaviest type of surface treated highways ever bailt by the department, $nd the committee was assured by the highway engineer that the base will be sufficiently strong to support a concrete road should conditions ever warrant that • type of surface. Barnwell County enjoys the dis tinction of being the first county in the State to use the surface treated type of road on all of the main high ways and it is expected that when the legislature convenes next year the Barnwell-EUenton highway will be designated for similar construction.
