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. In many cases the communi
ty is spending large sums of money
in attempting to produce in him a re-
covery from the disease, but has failed | appropriation bill of upwards of

A radio broadcasting station, oper

construction is expected to begin im

The station, a construction license
for which has been issued by the
federal radio commission to George

believed, located some miles from the

Barnes, according to information
gmthered by The State last night from
Greenwood, has arranged all financial
details incident to the station’s con

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

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

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.

With only a few days remaining be

decorations are almost complete. For

with colored lights, will adorn Main

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

The distressing news was received
here yesterday (Wednesday) morntag
that Major J. Crosland Bosh haul ac
cidentally shot and killed himself «t
his home in Ellenton. 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

and the new 8 of hia untimely death

this year it l.8« been necessary to

For the present year the appropria

and $10,408,476.04 including the High
