Despite rough weather and injuries to the Zeppelin, it “came through” nobly. Again the world is advanced a thousand years within less than the space of a week. This is the ninth successful skirm ish in man’s battle with the Atlantic. On October 12, 1492, Columbus made the first voyage from Europe to America. In 1858 the first submarine cable between the new and old worlds was laid by the Atlantic Telegraph Co., headed by Cyrus Curtis. In 1901 the first wireless message was sent across the Atlantic. The first transatlantic telephone message service was completed Jan uary 7, 1927, between^ London and New York. The first picture was wirelessed from New York to London in 1924. Three United States Naval boats flew from Newfoundland to Lisbon via the Azores, starting May 8, 1919. The first airship crossing the Atlan tic was the British dirigible R-34, in 1919, from East Fortune, Scotland, to Mineola, New York. The first steamship to make tho trip was the Britannia, built by Sam uel Cunard, which sailed in 14 days from Bristol to New York in 1840. Now comes the Graf Zeppelin, the first passenger dirigible to cross the Atlantic. Thus the world progresses. Horrors /1| )t lacks an Inch ©p Meeting. / Maiud^s tp Brcxk the.

In Old England it was the custom to crack nuts, duck for appleg and in dulge in other harmUps amusements on that eve. Older yet is the custom of building fires, dating back to cere monies of the Druids. On Hallowe’en, tradition has it, the witches upset everything. And for years and years American children have been upsetting everything on Hallowe’en and blaming it on the witches. But. alas, their zeal is dy ing out. Hallowe’en is no longer the “grand night” it was. A few chalk marks made h<ire and there, a few children in costume, a few stockings filled with flour that are banged over other children by their possessors, are all that is left of Hallowe’en. This and some dignified parties where favors are distributed. In the old days buggies were placed x>n roofs, gates were broken ajar, every thing was made topsy-turvy. And Hallowe’en was spread over the en tire week of mischief. We can’t believe this h<ialthyspirit of mischief is dead. It must be, alas, that our children have forgotten the traditions of Hallowe’en. This new condition makes us all safer—but we just can’t hedp missing something.

We regret that we have fallen short of the amount apportioned to the Barnwell County Chapters.

Citizens of Barnwell, can we do this?—I mean get together? United we stand, divided we fall.

It would certainly be interesting to know just how many proposals were made by girls this year. Whether they proposed more than they did in 1927, which was just a plain ordinary year. We have a slight suspicion that if a girl wishes to propose, she cares little about waiting until a year that can ba divided evenly by four comes along. Love doesn’t go according to rules. Perhaps, after all, women do little proposing. Their art consists, we have read, in getting the man they want to spring the question—making the men think themselves aggressive land forward when they are merely to- appnding to dozens of time-honored liints and tricks that only the female of the species understands. But no mailer how much we ponder tad guess, we are at a loss. There no statistics on the matter. There . time to inform himself on this matter can readily see that the town is play ing a loosing game continuing the maintenance of the present lighting system, as there is little being made to retire bonds and the near future means bankruptcy under the present syskm. This being true it now be hooves the citizens of the city to turn to some other means of maintenance, a s there is nothing to offset the de terioration occurring to the present plant. Ther«i is no use butting a brick wall—facts are facts and if this town is to progress with other towns of its size, then the citizens must be up and doing. If we expect general develop ment then we must employ such pro- grtpsive methods as will be inviting to industry. We must get in line apd in stall power sufficient to operate in dustries, regardless of size. To do this we must harmonize ourselves on the one idea—that is, to get in power from a big concern at as early a date NOTICE. To the Defendants: E. R. Porter, L. A. Norman and S. E.
