Calhoun. All of the above gentlemen are offering for reelection with the ex ception of Mr. Grubbs who will fill the vacancy on the board of aider- men caused by the election of Mr. Sex ton as mayor following the death of Mayor V. Seymour Owens last pear. At the reorganisation meeting of the municipal dub several weeks Ago, r . Julien Bush. Eaq., introduced a ream ition endorsing the present adminis tration, which eras adopted without a dissenting vote, snd the fact that no opposition to any of the present of ficials developed is conclusive proof that their service has given general satisfaction to a majority of the resi dents of Barnwell. They are to be congratulated on the confidence thus shewn ta them by their fellow citi- sena CARL BUIST AND LANG CAVE INJURED IN WRECK While Carl Buist, of Blackville, and Lang Cave, of Barnwell, were en route last week to Charlotte, N.

Mr. Buist suffered an injuiy to his left shoulder and several bad cuts on his hand, while Mr. Cave’s right hand was so badly cut that several stitches wei£ necessary to close the wound. Their truck was wrecked and the melons badly dam aged. In spite of the unfortunate occur rence, the two young men, after re ceiving medical attention, drove on to Charlotte and disposed of a carload of melons they had shipped tg that point. / \ J Terrific Heal Wave Broken Here Sunday Cooler Weather Comes After More Than a Week of Extremely High Temperatures.

He wax at the home of a neighbor at the time and did not learn of the fin until his home had almost burned down. Mrs. Manning and children were visiting relatives in Com merest Ga.

TO THE VOTERS OF BARNWELL COUNTY: It has come to my attentioh that the enrollment in Barn well County for the Democratic primary election, which will be held August 26th, is very light. It is hard to understand this apathy on the part of the voters, both men and women, in view of the fact that this year it is necessary to elect a governor, United States senator* congressman and various other State and county officials of importance. The books of enrollment will close Tuesday, July 22nd, and those who fail to place their names on the club books on or be fore that date will automatically disqualify themselves for register ing their choice in the primaries. I cannot too strongly urge each and every voter to immed iately go to the place where his or her club book is kept and qualify by recording his or her name thereon, together with age, occupa tion and place of residence. No tax receipt or registration certifi cate is necessary. Don’t put off this important matter a day longer —DO IT NOW! For the information of the voters, the places where the va rious club bocks are kept are listed below. EDGAR A. BROWN, County Chairman.

Crouch, candidate for re- election to the office of county super- iatendent of ftducstton, prefaced hie remarks by saying that, to point of service, he was the oldest candidate on the stage and that, alao in point of service, he if the oldest county super intendent in the State, having been first elected 22 years ago. Ho would be an ingrate, he said, if he did not appreciate the confidence that the people have shown in him in the great work of educating the future citizens of the county. He declared that, so fir as he is concerned, the present race will be a friendly otm He said that he has never retaliated against those who have opposed him in the past, citing his appointment of trustees to bear out this statement. He said he could not review hit record of 22 years in the limited time accord ed him. The many new school build ings throughout the county are evi dences of the progress made under his administration, he said. Increased taxes for improved school buildings are the result of a majority vote of the people in the district affected, de clared Mr. Crouch. Many school dis tricts had already voted for consolida tion before the passage of the county high school act. He asked his audi ence if they would sanction having their children return to the horse and buggy method of transportation. As sn evidence that he ha s kept apace of school work, he cited the fact that be is executive committeeman from the Second Congressional District to the State Touchers Association.
