The Barnwell group of men arrived at Fort Moultrie, Thursday, April 27th, and the following morning pass ed the final physical examination to be admitted into the camp as mem- bera of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Routine generally speaking is very much different from the or dinary life the boys have been living, although it seems to be a^eeing with most of the husky lads. The daily routine of the camp is as follws: 6:30, Reveille; 6:45, Roll Call; 7:00,. Breakfast; 8:00, Calisthentics; 9:00, Men report to special detail. Those not on any special detail may have the day at their leisure; 11:45, Mail Call; 12:00, Lunch; 4:45, Roll Call, 5:00, Salute to Our Flag; $:30, Sup per; 9:00, lights out in tents; 10:00, Bed Check. The camp is divided into four com panies with the Barnwell boys in Companies 439 and 440. The com panies are divided into platoons of a- bout fifty men each and then into squads of six with a squad leader. Anyone with military training is especially selected for squad leader. To each company there i 8 assigned a captain and two sergeants. Every one is required to keep his own part of the tent clean and in order for in.-pecticn each day. There are six boys to the tent with two hundred and twelve boys to the company. All the boys interested in athletics have been e»pec ally requested to sign up for their sports and some real lively times are expected to be had during the following weeks. Two lectures have been given by Captain H. W. Ulm>, U. S. Army, who has spent many yeais in the forestry service. Other lectures will follow until May 15lh. Week-end passes are issued to the boys and they may be off from Saturday noon until reveille M nday. The four hundred and fifty b>ys now in camp had the pleasuie Wed nesday of seeing and hearing Major General Edward L. King, U. S. A. commander of the Fourth Corp- "ATea. General King expressed gratifica- ti n over the progress made in orga nizing the civilian conservaticn ccrpa at Fort Moultrie. General Ktn<; arrived by airplane fr^m Fv,rt Screven, Georgia, and left later in the day for Fort Bragg. N. C. He was met at the Chariest:n Municipal airport by Colonel Gilbert M.

Later General King was introduced to the member s ’ of the Corps, who were assembled in front of Camp Headquarters, by Colonel G. M. Alien, Post Commander. General King stated how glad # he was to be here and welcomed the members of the corps. He stated the condition of the camp was clean and impressed him above satisfactory; in fact, “excellent”. He also , stated that the men should receive commen dations as they too looked fine and clean. They are the cream of young manhood.

Again Tuesday the lawmakers will return to Columbia, presumably to work cn only one statewide bill, but with the possibility that other mat ters may arise and hold them here through the week. The eleventh hour disagreement arose when the house amended a bill providing issuance of notes in the amount of $2,585,000 to pay back teachers’ salaries to provide that all taucejj frem sale of beer shall be turn /d over to the State for support of schools, instead of being divided be tween the State, county and munici palities. An oversight in allocation of reve nue led th® amendment. The free conference committee on the general appropriation bill in making its esti mate of available revenues for gen eral purposes included the State’s share cf the beer tax. The confer ence committee on the education bill ater included the tax in its estimate >f school revenues, thus creating the possibility of a deficit of approximate- y $150,000, since the beer revenue can’t be spent twice. Counties Expect Revenue. Senate leaders have indicated strong iisapproval of the amendment, point ing out that a number of counties figured on beer revenue in drawing their supply bill 8 now enacted, am said the propcsal might result in county deficits. A statute making it illegal for the general assembly to work on Sunday morning by ‘burning the clock back" made it imp<w»ib!e to send the bill tc free confervn^ for action last night, but it will go to conference Tuesday. Senate conferee* are: Nicholson, of Anderson, Nance, of Laurens, and Spearman, of Pickens, but the house adjourned before Speaker J. B. Gib son could appeint his. The extension of the session into its nineteenth week shocked the legis lators themselves, who had listened to farewell eulogie 8 and locked their victory over Bamberg that afternoon.

In reply to General King’s question to the reciuitg as' ta--whether they were well fed, the answer was “Yes” in a resounding and happy chorus. It was getting near noon when the General heard the bugler blow the army famous call, “Come and get your Scup,” and then he said, “Boys, I know that you are hungry, so be fore I close I wish that you all will enjoy your dinner.” General King, accompanied by Col onel Allen, Mayor Maybanjt and good health as assets in the strenuous!

The Carpenters swamped Thomson on the local diamond Friday after- n on, 14 to 3, and as no other games were scheduled for that day, Barn well enjoyed first place in the stand- ink of the clubs for a brief period.
