I For a number of years the Barnwell Connty Chapter of the American Red .Cross has done what it could to help meet the local needs of flood, tornado, and earthquake relief elsewhere, while it met tjie needs for relief of fex-service men. litfey have realized that possibly one-half of those in the county who were sick did not get in touch with the physicians, or apply for treatment. The long cherished hope for a public health nurse was realized Friday from a meeting of the local Red Cross Chap ter which was held in the directors’ rcom of the Bank of Western Carolina. Due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. A. A. Lemon, who is the county represen tative of the State Tuberculosis Asso ciation, Miss Virginia Anderson, a na tive of Barnwell County, has been at wotk for a month. Here let it be un derstood that public nursing is entirely apart from private nursing. After a full discussion of the needs of public health nursing in this coun ty, Mrs. D. McL. McDonald, who is the Executive Secretary of the South Carolina Tuberculosis Association, en tered into an agreement with the Barnwell Chapter of the Red Cross to put on a public nurse in this county for four months.

The de cision ended a long-drawn legal bat tle over issuance of the paper and made available immediately $20,000,- 000 for paving work in the State. The bond issue wa 8 authorized by the legislature by enactment last spring of a senate bill which passed both houses with a good majority, and which provided for the issuance of $20,000,000 worth of bonds each year for three years and $5,000,000 worth the fourth. The funds were to be used for construction of hard-surfaced highways and were* to be redeemed from the proceeds of a gi*-cent gaso line tax enacted as a companion meas- uie.

There are really four feature days. Tuesday, October 29th, will be educa tional day, at which time school chil dren from Orangeburg and adjoining counties will be admitted free to the gates. As has been the custofn in the past, on thi 8 day the schools in these counties will close so that the teachers and pupils will have an opportunity of attending the fair. An elaborate school day program has been arranged with many features that will attract school people, and, of course, the pa rents and kinfolks of the school chil dren. Wednesday will be ,known as the “Sensational Stunt Day.” One of the unusual free attractions to be exhib ited on that day is known as the “bursting bomb,” in which a man is carried up in a balloon enclosed in bjack bag, to which has been attached a long fuse which is lighted at the be ginning of the ascent and when the human bomb reaches three thousand feet in the air a heavy explosion takes place, which releases the bomb and causes it to explode and bTow apart in numerous pieces amid much smoke. The man in the bomb falls to earth with hia parachute and the spectacle is sensational, to say the least. . Carolina-Citadel Day. Of course, everybody knows that Thursday it the Carolina-Citadel day, wh^n tl* anruh! football classic be tween the two State institutions will be played at noon. As is the custom, student bodies from both of the col leges will be in Orangeburg and over 2,000 students will be here to witness j the game, in addition to the usual crowd of eight to ten thousand football fans from all over this and adjoining States. Last year additional steel bleachers were erected on the grounds to take care of the rapidly increasing crowds, and all of these have been gone over carefully and additional boxes and seats added for this year's clash. Bailey and Carlisle will meet Wednes day. These ate the two fastest prep school teams in the State. Friday, November 1st, is known as Negro Day, and it is at this time that the colored citizens of the county prac tically take charge of the grounds and enjoy this as one of their biggest gala days. A mammoth pyrotechnical display will be one of the features of the even ing program every day. In addition to the free fireworks at night, day time crowds will have an opportunity to see and hear the famous Victor’s Band, with their soloist, Miss Gertrude Van Deiuse, as well as Dave Castelo’s re- . view of six big circus-acts, Among the features of this review are a big riding act, comedy act, trained pony, loop walking act, sensational cloud swing and a bucking mule. — . Many new ridek and new shows will be seen on the elaborate midway, which will be erected this year by West’s World Wonder Shows.
