Tuesday afternoon Thomson scored six runs in the first half of the sixth inning for a three-run lead, but the tender heart of J. Pluvius wag wrung to such an extent by the sad spectacle that his copious tears broke up the contest, the game reverting to the fifth innig, with the result that the Rocks were declared the winners, 3 to 0. Augusta defeated St. Matthews in an exhibition game at Blackville, 10 to 3, while Bamberg forfeited a dcu- ble-header to Sylvania to put the Sylphs in third place. The league is all “in a muck,” as Perry Bush would say. Graniteville has definitely withdrawn from the loop until certain matters can be ar ranged. At a meeting of the direc tors Monday night, Millen and St. Matthews were admitted into the cir cuit and it was also decided to play four instead of three games a week. The Rocks object to the long jumps necessary to play the two new en trants and also to the enlarged sched ule. A meeting was slated to he held in Augusta last night (W'ednes- day), at which time it was hoped that all differences would be ironed out and the league continue to function. One plan is for a two-division loop, the winner in each division to play a post-season series of games at which the championship will be de cided. One division would prcbably be composed of teams that desire to play four games weekly, while the other division would have a three^ game schedule. Graniteville Takes Lead - r.ianhyviili* uent into th? les.1 in the Georgra-Car.lina League pennant race Friday afternoon by defeating Brrnweli 16 to 3 on the local diamond, the Carpenters being snowed under a barrage of 20 hits in spite of the fact tha: three pitchers were used in an effort to silence the heavy artillery of the visitors. The Rocks demonstrated that they wanted the ball game in the very first inning when they jumped the offer ings of Gray for six hits and seven rUTfe hefoie the second man was call ed out. * — Gross relieved Gray and the Rocks were kind to him, comparatively speaking, until the seventh inning. After nicking him for only two runs in the fourth, they assaulteu him in that lucky seventh and collected an other six runs. He retired in favor of Miller, hut the Rocks shewed their disdain for anything the Carpenters had to offer in the way of pitching by getting a parting run off him in the ninth in- ning. • . Barnwell scored her runs one each in the first, second and fourth in- nings. The Carpenters made but eight scattered hits off cf Outz.

Graniteville also defeated Bamberg Thursday afternoon, 4 to 3, while Barnwell was idle because of a con fusion of dates fer the Thomson ge me, thus overcoming the half-game lead of the Carpenters. Sylvania took both games of a double-header from Augusta the same afternoon. On Friday Augusta defeated Bam berg, while Thomson was winning from Sylvania.

Unleashing a shower of triples, connected with a base on balla and a hit balaman, the Barnwell club of the Georgis-Carolina league rode over Augusta in a grueling game. at the Augusta Stadium Monday night, 4 to 1. The victory placed the winners only flying Graniteville Rocks. Steady pitching by Bourn and Gray suddenly was shattered as the Caro linians entered the last inning with a row cf goose eggs gathered in the first eight innings.

RECORD-BREAKING CROWD ATTENDS COMMENCEMENT Will Introduce New Motor Fuel Friday “Essolene” Will Be Placed on Sale at All Standard Filling Stations Friday, A The introduction of the new motor fuel Essolene to the public at Esso Stations on June 2 is one of the major steps in a new marketing program which js involving the expenditure of several million dollars and giving em ployment to many workers, according to H. J. Phillips, local manager of the business of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The program involves the re-identi fication of some 30,000 outlets as Esso Stations, located from Maine through Louisiana, and includes a large advertising expenditure, much of which will go to newspapers. Concerning Essolene, Mr. Phillips says, “I naturally am enthusiastic about all of our products, but * in Essolene I am positive we have a high ly unusual motor fuel. The tests in dicate that it is the best regular- priced fuel on the market. The anti knock quality is higher than in any regular g*asoline and, among other things, Essolene actually reduces gummy deposits in an old engine. We’ve given the slogan 'Guarantees Smoother Performance’ to Essolene, and we’re sure motorists will find that’s so.” A red-and-white color scheme will distinguish the Esso Stations. All the pumps are being re-painted to con form to this plan, and new signs are being erected. All of this work given employment to many men and, in the opinion of Mr. Phillips, is an indica tion of his Company's attitude towaid the future. Emo and Essolube. as well as Es solene, will be available at all of the Esso Stations.

W. Stevenson, of Kline, R. F. D. Quite a large delegation from Barn well attended the annual picnic of the Seven Pines school at Snelling Fri day. Everybody reports a meet en- j.yab e occasion. Porf. Robert Kennedy, First Principal of Barnwell Graded School, De livers Address. Two thousand men, women and children filled the commodious new grandstand at Fuller Field bo over flowing Thursday evening, the occas ion being the commencement exercises of the Barnwell high school, which, this year, were a drastic departure from the conventional program. In stead of the usual Salutatory, Class Poem, Class Prophecy, Class Will and Valedictory, intersperseu with instru mental music, the large audience saw unfolded before their eyes in the scenes of a pageant, “Hail Barnwell,” the history of the town and county from the early settlers cbwn to the present day. Miss Eddie Judscn Brac'ham, a member of the local school faculty, is the author of the pageant, \i$»ich is published complete elsewhere in this issue of The People-Sentinel. It is a reccrd well worth preserving, along * with the address of Prof. Robert Kennedy, the first pinicipal of the Barnwell Grammar School, which appeals below. The character parts of the pageant were excellent, as were also the cos tumes, scenery and lighting effects. Adding greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion was the siging of Indian songs by Mrs. Josh Baxley, of this city. Several numbers by a negr. male quartette also drew generous applause. The voice of the “Herald,” "Father Time” and ethers were carried to the audience through the medium of an amplifier, which unfortunately failed o work perfectly at all times. With this one exception, however, the p log ram was beyond criticism and the writer regrets that his feeble talents are not equal to the task of giving an accurate word picture of the pageant to those who were not for tunate enough to attend. Several selections were rendered by the high school orchestra, assisted by several members of the Allendale band, all of which were greatly en- joyed. Prof. Kennedy’e Add eas. Prof. Kennedy, who now make* his home in Columbia, very graciously accepted the invitation to deliver the annual aduress to the members of the graduating cia?*, tnd his co-worker of 46 years ago, Miss Anna Walker, was also present. Prof. Kennedy’s address, a large part of which is de voted to his reminiscenses of nearly half a century ago, was as follows: Young ladies and gentlemen of the Graduating Class: I esteem it a great honor to have been asked to deliver these diplomas to you. Some of you, doubtless, are descendant* of the boys and girls who were pupils in the school I organized here 46 year's ago. I congratulate you on having taken this step upward in your progress to wards getting an education. A< this beautiful pageant shows, you live in an historic county with a proud trariitioff. Most of you, I hope, will continue to live here; you are the future lead ing citizens of Barnwell. My charge to you is certainly not convention ri. Ycu will, of course, maintain and improve your educational advantages here: I have no doub: of this! May I urge you to see to it that Barnwell, in the not distant future, has also a free public library—a “con tinuation school” for both rich and poor, without which no modern com munity is complete. And this edjunct and complement to your schocl sys tem should be, like it, tax-supported. Again, see to it that your communi ty records, public and private be col lected, before it is too late, and pre served in some safe place, secure against Are and dissipation: I mean nod, only the record* kept in your Court House, but such things as news paper files; church, school, city and society minutes; family histories; in teresting old letters; long runs of mer cantile and Harm accounts, and all other social science source material; so that the historian of the future may have at Hand the means to pre- (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX.)

SUCCESS OF FARM ACT DEPENDS ON FARMERS Clemson College, May 29.—"The right sort of farm and national re lief should encourage and strengthen farmer cooperation; I believe we have in this new law the tight tort of stimulus to that end,” say« Secretary cf Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, who believes that success of the Agri cultural Adjustment Act and ita ad ministration depends very largely up on farmers themselves. With this ainees Dr. W. W. Long, director of the Extension Service which will aid in administering the Act in South Carolina. Dr. Long urg es upon South Carolina farmers and other citizens attention to what Sec retary Wallace and Administrator George N. Peek have tb say below: “Unless, as we lift farm prices, we also unite to control production, this plan will not work for long,” Secre- ary Wallace sites. “And the only way we can effectively control pro duction for the long pull is for you farmers to organize, and stick, and do it yourselves. The Act offers you promire of a balanced abundance, a shared prosperity, and a richer life.” George N. Peek, Fedeia! Adminis trator of the Act, has declared that ‘Unless farmers will work with each other rnd with Government in net producing and sending to market more geds than consumer* at home and abroad want and have money to pay for. Government can not main tain fair prices and restore prosperity to farmers—nobody can.” Stress has been laid upon the fact that participation in the program, on the part of the fanners, murt be vol untary. The Act limits the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture in making arrangements for adjustments to “agreements with producers or by other Voluntary metdrirds/” F urtheimoie, enough mu#t agree to cooperate in the pro gram so that the total cutuput of a given commodity may be controlled. Adjusting production on a few scat tered individual f?rms will not give this degree of control. Here, again, responsibilty for the success of the Act lies upon farm people. “The growers, the processors, and the carriers and sellers of fcod'must do that for themsefVes,” Secretary Wallace has said. “Following trade agreements openly and democratically arrived at, with the consumer at all times represented and protected from gouging, these industries must work out their own salvation. They must put an end to cut-throat competition and wasteful disorder. The Emergen cy Adjustment Act makes it lawfuul and practical for them to do *o.” Mrs. Arsenis Rodman Le Allendale, May 26.—Funeral vices were held Thursday morning at Mi. Arnon cemetery, for Mrs. Arsenin Rodman Lemon, who d»«d at the Uni- Bamwell Man Killed When Struck by Truck James C. Moody Fatally Injnred in Front of Hie Home Near Here Saturday Morning. James C.

Mr. Moody had been to Barnwell and rode heme with Judson Black, who lives a few miles further out on the highway. He alighted from the car, chatted for a flew minutes with Mr. Black and walked from behind the automobile directly hi the path of the onccming truck. The driver, W. J. Gerrett, of Augusta, is said to have made a desperate but futile ef fort to avoid striking the unfortun ate men; A doctor wss hastily sum moned but Mr. Moody was beyond human aid. The accident was witnessed by hie wife, who was sitting on the front porch of their home at the time. Mr. Gerrett, who was arrested end lodged in the county jail, a coroner’s jury Saturday afternoon having held that Mr. Moody came to his death sa a result of being struck by a bread truck which was being driven by W.
