Townsend Quotes Editcr- ( Party from Barnwell County Gets New Ideas for Club Market in Thi« City. Twelve membeis cf the Barnwell Home Demonstration Market Club, the home agent and Mrs. A. A. Mc Allister, newly elected secretary, visit ed the club market in Aiken Tuesday morning of last week - to get new ideas for the local club market. The Aiken market i s housed in a neat' 3 wooded building which was donated by the Aiken Chamber of Commerce. Th e building is screened and equipped with tables, covered with white, oil cloth, a screened booth fo r meats, eight set* of scales, an adding ma chine and a secretary’s desk. Two thing s abcut the market that attract ed the attention of the Barnwell visi tors were the paper containers which were used for marketing milk and | cream, and the duplicate order slips I that weie used by those selling pro ducts. The variety and quality of products soW were- very much the : sam e a* these sold at the Barnwell j market, but the supply was much; greater and the number of customers far exceeded tho^e of the local mar ket. The visitors were told that the Aiken market was going through a dull season as the tou^st trade hadn’t yet .started, but wheh some of sales + (From The State, Sept. 26.) In a decree handed down yesterday by W. H. Townsend, judge of the -Fifth circuit, irt a suit brought, by railroad employes aginst the railroad commission and other defendants re garding establishment of a passenger bu g route between Columbia and Savannah, it was adjudged that the certificate of public convenience and necessity granted the Inter-Caro lina Motor Bus company by the rail road commission last July to operate the bus line be vacated and set aside with leave to the plaintiffs to apply ( for such order a n might be necesaary . fo (Carry this crde r into effect. _ The decree, with case references omitted was as follows: “In the jitney case, Huffman vs. City of Columbia, 146 S^ C. 450, our late lamented chief justice announced the doctrine no one has an inherent ight to carry on his private business along the public streets. Upon this foundation the regulation of motor buses seeking to do the business of common carriers on the public high ways ha 9 been committed to the railroad commission. The commis sion’s power to permit a bus line is administrative but to be exercised only after a hearing afforded all af fected parties and wheie public con venience and necessity require it. . “This action has been brought by a group of railway employes represent ed by the Hon. H. E. Thompson and others to review the order of the commission under the act of 1922, page 939, which provides that the de cision of the commission may In* re viewed by this court upon questions of both law and fact after the .denial of a rehearing by the commission. “The order sought to be reviewed granted a certificate of convenience and necessity to Joel W. Wright, a resident and citizen of North Caro lina, doing business under the name of the Inter-Carolina Motor Bus c'om- pany to render motor bus service be tween Columbia and the State line on route to Savannah, Ga., parallel to the route now served by the Seaboard Air Line and Southern Railway—and which bu- service would seriously en danger and perhaps cause the dis^- chaige of plaintiffs from thei r ac customed service on the railroads in question. “In view of the receivership opera tion of the Seaboard ' Ai r Line and the more lecent receivership of the Florida East Coast railroad as a re- ult of the competition created by the instruction of tthe Seaboard’s cross- %tate line to Palm Beach and Miami and the state highway down the East Coast that owed its development to the Flagler interests in 'the East Coast road—a matter of common his- 9 toYy of which the courts may take notice, the apprehension of plaintiffs is well founded and they occupy the statu s of aggrieved parties who may maintain this action. The applicant testified: ‘It will take it all (i. e. the- local passenger business along the route) to make the bus line woith while.’ The applicant in hfs testimony shows little knowledge cf the actual traffic needs of the territory affected or of the service now being rendered, the.t^ being also bus lines in part a of this terriory. Mr. Davies, editor of the Barnwell People-Sentinel, testifies to the truth of the statement in an editorial July 9, 1931: ‘To grant these N | licenses will take additional passen- ger revenue from the railroads, which j are already seriously crippled by the general use of privately owned pas- , senger Tars. We have heard no seri- 1 ous complaint relative to the train service being furnished by% the rail roads in thi s immediate section. All of which being true, we can see no good reason for the establishment of the bus line, the vehicles of which operate over roads constructed and maintained by the automobile owners of the State.’ “The commission acted on no sworn petitions of individuals in the com- , iminitv w»«v>inaL^ dosiiing the addi- tional bus service. Such wishe sires do not * show a public neces sity “Upon a careful review of the transcript of record and evidence be- fote the railroad commission, I find and conclude 'that the showing as to convenience and necessity for the bus Sunday, October 11th, has been selected as “home-coming day” for Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. All of the piesent and former > members, their descendants, and all friends of this aged church, including living former pastors, are cordially invited. All members and friends are re quested to bring baskets with such “eatables” as are suitable for dinner at the church. There will b e services beginning with songs and prayers at 11:00 a. m.; a short history of the church will be given at 11:30 a. m., followed by a sermon in the after noon. The Rev. R. W. Sanders, of Greenville, is expected to speak on the hi-tcry of the church and to preach. Others may also make short addresses during the historical services in the forenoon.' 1 Preaching services will probably be held for several days fol lowing “home-coming day” services.

We must do the-e things if we expect "to'compete with other Southern States. I have seen a great many farmer families during the past thirty days, who aie making ample sweet potato storage facilities which they never had before. Many thousands more jars of fruits and vegetables have been preserved this fall than eve r be fore, and theie are a great many more “shoatiT’ in the fattening lots than South Carolina has seen in it* his tory. All these signs point to the fact that our farmers are not depending on any kind of “farm relief.” except that which they can furnish themselves. 1 heaid a suggestion the other day which I will pa-* on to you—I feel that it i K too good a suggestion for only those who heard it—Here it is: • Many truck farmers have been planting very intensively, using rows as narrow as 2 feet; why not put all the truck on 5 foot row* and plant the alleys in corn at the proper time, thus insuring a iy>od corn crop, and protecting the truck crop from ex cesses of either moisture or drought? An average yield of corn is approx imately 25 bushels per acre. If we plant truck on 2 V* ^foot rows, we’ll just have 10 acre s of truck and 250 bushels of corn. While if we put the tiuck in five fo; t rows and plant the corn in early May, tthe proper ' time, we would still, have 10 acres of truck on 20 acres of land, and we’d have more than 500 bushels of corn. Because we’d get a better c nserva- tion of the moisthre supply in the wide rows, and excessive rains would be, much easier to handle. In other words,.we’d have letter growing con ditions. The crops would make a larger yield pe r row, which ,mean s a larger yield per acre. Lots of you folks will disagree With me about the subject of <4 wide row” potatoes, for instance, just the same as many disagreed with the man who made the original suggestion. The only answer I can make -t« you is— let your own personal experienc e be your guide. / I do say, however, that you will make a bigger corn crop where you have wide row tiuck crops, and if you Columbia, Sept. 29.—The highways of the State will, In' reality, all lead to Columbia on Friday and Saturday, October 2nd and 3rd, for on those dates the Capital City is hating her annual Dollar Days, days i^ich are locked forward to with great inter est by thousands all over South Caro lina. At one time, it was announced that “Hospitality Days,” held in Colum bia on September 14th and 15th, would take the place of th e custom ary Dollar Days. Such was the inten tion of the merchants throughout the city. However, such a large number of people throughout the State were disappointed in such a decision that the merchants have reconsidered and are to have Dollar Days as usual to -atisfy the numerous demand* of thei r customers.

Barnwell got off to a flying start Friday afternoon by defeating Nor way, 39 to 0, in a game devoid of thrills. The visitors wer e able to sustain only two drives. The first ended with an intercepted pas^ which was run back for a touchdown by James Hogg and the second closed with a blocked punt which was also run far a goal by Rodman Lemon. Barnwell scored almost at will, the first touchdown being mad e \in the fiyst few minute* of play.. Three more yere added in the 2nd quarter and the other two in the last half.

Exten sion Service were in the county re cently in conference with the home and county agent at which time plans were discussed for assisting folk* in the county to have better gardens. The following should be of much value to these desiring to feature home gardens fo r fall and winter: It will be a crime to let fall pass and not try the new Japane-e Foliage turnip, some called the Shogoin. And don’t foiget to try Tendergreen cr Mustard Spinach. Both of these vegetables will gtand lots of hot, dry weather and are very fast, vigorous glowers when the season is at all favorable.
