An $11,000,000 Appropriation Looms As Great Probability 1930 GENERAL ASSEMBLY MAY RAISE THE ANTE The Christmas Seal Campaign in Barnwell County starts today (Thurs day), when the annual drive to raise funds to help finance the war on tuberculosis is inaugurated by Mrs. A. A. Lemon, county chairman, and a capable corps of local chairmen, as fol lows: Mrs. Herman Brown, of Black- ville; —- of Willis- ton; Horace J. Crouch, of Elko; Miss May Owens, of Dunbarton; Mrs. Kate Wingo, of Kline; Mrs. S. E. Moore, of Snelling, and Mrs. A. P. Collins, of Hilda In again accepting the position as county chairman, Mrs. Lemon made the following statement: “It must be remembered by Barn well County people that a successful seal sale is not an end in itself. It is simply the community’s method of purchasing health protection and leadership in the future prevention of tuberculosis and the reduction of the leath rate. ‘Tuberculosis is both preventable and curable and deaths from a pre ventable and curable disease are re flections upon the community in which they occur. “Every loss from tuberculosis is a tremendous economic loss to both the family in which the individual has lived and to the community that has spent thousands of dollars in educat* ing und protecting him during the years in which he is approaching ma turity.

There were 15,887 bales of cotton ginned in Barnwell County prior to November 14, as compared with 13,222 bales to the same date in 1928, ac cording to a report made public by the Department of Commerce a few days ago.

The station, a construction license for which has been issued by the federal radio commission to George T. Barnes, of Greenwood, will be, it is believed, located some miles from the city while the studio will i>e in the Jefferson hotel. » Barnes, according to information gmthered by The State last night from Greenwood, has arranged all financial details incident to the station’s con struction and has expressed satisfac tion that he has been able to swing the deal. He is a former secretary of the Greenwood chamber of commerce and is now industrial agent of the Georgia and Florida railroad. R. E. McCaalan, of Greenwood, chairman of the wayg and means com mittee of the South Carolina house of representatives, said last night that, while he has no financial interest in the station and no other nterest in it except that he has long wanted South Carolina to have a broadcasting out fit within its borders, he had backed Barnes’ petition a year ago for an operating license.

Richards, Govern nor of South Carolins, from Ssnta Claus at the North Pole, saying that the Old Saint will arrive in Columbia at 5:30 Saturday afternoon, Nov. 30, landing at the airport, and that he will make his home in Columbia for several weeks preceding Christmaa. Thousands of children, all over the State, who each year look forward to seeing Santa, are receiving this news with joy, and Columbia is planning a great welcome for her visitor, who will remain in this city from Saturday until Christmas morning. Everyone i 8 invited to attend the welcoming reception for Santa Claus Saturday afternoon on Main Street*, at which time the* beautiful Christmas lights, at a signal from Saint Nick, will be turned on, flooding* the city with light and color and transform ing it into a place of magical beauty. A welcoming pageant will be given in Santa’s honor a 8 soon as he arrives at the State House steps and HVfliii. bundled Columbia children will take part. With only a few days remaining be fore Sants Claus' arrival, Columbia's decorations are almost complete. For ty-eight Christinas trees, trimmed with colored lights, will adorn Main Street, and several thousand cqlored bulbs have si ready been strung over- hesd on the decorated blocks. Large electric stars are being used this year for the first time and sixty of them, four feet in diameter and containing six lamps each, have been strung over head down the street. It is expected that the State House will be more beautiful than ever this year. Several hundred lights will be used on the dome in addition to the flood lights and each column on the North side of the capitol will boast a lighted Christ mas tree. In front of the State House is the big community Christmas tree, which is being decorated with 800 lights. , ; A wonderful home i 8 being estab lished for Santa Claus at 1509 Main Street and everyone is invited to call there at any time..

Few details of the accident were available at time, but according to reporta rs* ceived in Barnwell, the Major was hi his dining room with other mepbevs of the family and was sitting before the fireplace, cleaning hia gun prepar atory to a hunting trip today (Thure- day) with J. Julien Bush, Esq., of thia city. In some manner, the weapon, which Major Bush evidently did not know was loaded, wa« discharged and the load of shot hit a vital spot. Major Bush eras one of the meet popular men in the Ellenton section and the new 8 of hia untimely death will occasion great regret wherever he was known. He was about 80 years old snd leaves his wife and two tone.
