Harris, who won fame as the composer of the ballad, "After the Ball," died ;i few days ago. Various anecdotes have been told in connection with the man and his caieer. Here's a local case < f mis taken blent ity: A good many years ago more than We care to recall a little girl from an ther town was visiting relatives in Barnwell. One day she met Major .John W.

R 'Compulsory Advertising." t The Ne\v s and ('oiirier objects the highway department advertising the iodine content of South CaioFrfa fruits and vegetables through the medium of automobile license plates, and under the above eapth n says in part: ‘‘If it is all right for the State to compel its automobile owners to .' w advertise the iodine content of fruit- and vegetables, it i s a short step to ward legislating that all automobile owners shall carry free adverti-ing of chewing gum or fancy candies." To oul\. mind that is a puerile state- ment for a usually -ound-thinkmg newspaper to make. Instead of being a “short step," it is a far cry from advertising the beneficent propel ties j t .

Nor have we heard any widespread protest from m t lists against thi s ‘•compulsion.” Editor Ball must have been suffer ing from the aftermath of Chri.-tma-j dinner indigestion when he penned his criti ism. The Barnwell friends of Miss Ethel Calhoun will read with interest the following account of her marriage, which is copied from Sunday’s issue of the Augusta Herald: Of very delightful interest to their numerous friends will be the an nouncement < f the marriage of Miss Ethel Calhoun and Mr. Thomas M.

The Calhoun home was very lovely with it s Christmas greens and its fragrant cut flowers, the ceremony being pel formed before an improvis ed altar ■ f palms and house plants. Miss Julia I.emon, of Barnwell, ren dered the wedding music and just be fore the ceremony, sang “Bccau-e," and "<> I'romise Me.” The bride had for her matron of hortui hei si-ter n-law, Mrs. C. W.

The expenditure in South Carolina for school buses this year is expected to be about $1,400,000. If the aver age annual cost to the schools of a bus is $700, 2,000 school buses are in u*e in this smalle-t Southern State, ope cf the smaller American States. In other words, South Carolina us<\s twice the average number of school buse 8 used by the seveial State-. This is only half the story. Nearly half the population of S« uth Carolina is negro, and the negroes walk to their schools. They are seldom given Inis J.ran-'portatirn. Hence, if white popu lation ali ne be considered the South Caiolinians indulge the luxury of school buses in the ratio of four to tie for the average State. South Carolina’s white p pulation is about one one hundred and fortieth part of the population of the United Stats, but, if it operate- 2,000 school buses, that i s one twenty-fourth of the number used in the whole country.
