Annual Short Course
to Be Held June 14
Week of Interesting and Helpful In
struction Regarded as Outstand
ing Eevent.
In the Home Demonstration field,
throughout South Carolina, thoughts
are now turning to Winthrop College,
and the Annual Short Course Week is
the outstanding event with all club
members. It is a week packed with
interesting and helpfuj instruction and
much -pleasure to all who attend, both
women and girls. So it is looked for
ward to with much enthusiasm by
those privileged to attend.
Each county in the State is allowed
to have six 4-H Club girls and six
H. D. Club women- represent it at
this meeting. These twelve are
selected by the Home Demonstration
Agent, because of outstandingly good
work during the year. So the trip is a
reward for accomplishment, and is
therefore an incentive to good work
throughout the year.
This year the central theme of the
Short Course program will be “The
Only Twr* Salas Made by the Master, Well Dressed Family.” Demonstra-
Glenna Collett, American golf star,
won her way to the final round of the
British woman’s championship at St
Andrews, but was then defeated by
Joyce Wethered, England's star player.

Benediction.
The first cotton blossom of the 1929
cotton crop was brought to The Peo-
iple-Sentinel office Tuesday afternoon,
the 4th inat., by B. L. Easterling, of
this city, who stated that it was
picked from a 20-acre field that was
planted March 20th. This field es
caped damage by the disastrous sand
storm of May 2nd and according to
Mr. Easterling, is now well over knee
high.
Later, A. J. Owena handed the ed
itor two mors blossoms and A. D.
Connor reports having seen a bloom ia
his field Monday.
The first bloom brought to this of
fice last year was picked June 14th by
Mr. Owens, who was closely followed
by H. T. Youmans ,of the ‘Meyer’s
Mill section. In 1927 the first blossom
was picked June 3rd, from which it
will be seen that Jj^r. Easterling’s
bloom is tan days earlier than last
year and one day later than the year
before. The first cotton blossom in
Barnwell County a half century ago
wss picked Jhne 8th.

Blackville, May 28.—The commence
ment exercises of the Hesling Springs
public school were given* Friday night
in the school auditorium. The invo
cation was offered by the Rev. J. N.
Tolar, pastor of the Healing Springs
Baptist church. Then came the
chorus, “The Bells of St. Mary’s” by
the high school. The salutatory was
delivered by Mary Coggin.
Thomas H. Peeples, of Columbia,
delivered the commencement addresa.
He said that he considered it a very
great honor as well as a great privi
lege to be invited to make an address
on this auspicious occasion and before
his home people. He referred to the
old echool house just over the way
where he and a number of those pres
ent used to attend school together.
He argued that one of the principle
duties of the school teacher of our
land is not simply to give informa
tion or to impart knowledge but that
rather they should be interested in
moulding character in the rising
generation. The religious and moral
side of education cannot and should
not be neglected. You cannot, he said,
train the child’s mind and at the same
time fail to set up for him high and
noble conceptions of life. Mr. Pee
ples said that pupils need most of all
to come in contact with great minds
of the past and to emulate theii* ex
ample. He pointed to Lee, Jackson
and Washington, whose pictures were
hanging in front of Ifim on the walls,
as great worthies and strongly and
eloquently urged the present ard com-
iifg generations ho follow in their
wake and leadership. The graduating
class was composed of Emmie Lee
Hair, Mary Cornelia Coggin, Nell
Gardner, W. B. Whittle and Marion
Odom. The next number oa the pro-
Injurcd ia AeU Accident.
W. T. Still, of Snellicg, had tnn

automobile turned over on the Bam-

tance West of this city. The other oc
cupants of the car escaped with
minor injuries. Mr. Still was brought
to Barnwell, where he was given) medi
cal attention, later returning to Me
home. His friends are glad to know
that he escaped serious injury.
