The pennant winning hopes of local
baseball 7 fans were given a decided
boost Tuesday afternoon when Barn-
well/ciefeated St. Matthews, 12 to 8,
while Bamberg was trimming Granite-
ville, 7 to 4, to reduce the lead of
the Rock^ by a full game, the Car
penters now being only a game and a
half behind the Georgia-Carolina
league leaders. The locals have also
played one game Idas than Graniteville
and should Barnwell win that contest,
the margin between the two clubs
would be reduced to only one game.
Then there U that matter of a pro
tested game that Barnwell lost to
Thomson which may be played oveL,
At any rate, the results of Tuesday’s
contests have put renewed hope into
the Carpenter* and they are prepared
to make a desperate, last minute ef
fort to win the pennant.
The game here Tuesday was a
alow affair, Barnwell getting off to a
three-run lead in the first inning.
Thereafter they were never seriously
threatened by the lose <J the game,
although St. Matthews staged a ninth-
inning rally that netted five runs, two
being made after Craysoa Wolfe,
making his debut in the league, had
retired two batters. Batting honors
for the day went to Bolden, who col
lected a triple, a double and tw^ sin
gles in five attempts to drive in half
of his team’s 12 markers. J. Gross
also got four hits in five tries, while
Fleming hit his second home run of
the season with one man on base.
Stumpy Banks drove in two runs with
his three-base hit in the ninth.

When Granitevdle defeated Barn
well here Thursday afternoon, 2 to 1,
before one of the largest crowds of
the season at Fuller Park, the Car
penters not only lost a ball game but
in all probability they lost their
chance to win the first half pennant.
It was a pitchers’ battle from the
very first inning, with Timmerman
having a little the best of the argu
ment by virtue of the airtight support
given him by hi* team mates. On the
other hand. Tucker pitched a fine
game for the locals and deserved to
win by a score of 1 to 0, but costly
errors at short and left field and a
misjudged fly by Bolden in right was
too much for even the brand of pitch
ing he was handing out. Barnwell’s
lone score came in the last half of the
ninth inning, when J. Gross, the first
man up, parked one over the right
fiei,d fence for his second home run
of the week and the third so far at
the new park. Timmerman then pro
ceeded to retire the next three bat
ters in order and with a good game
gone wrong Barnwell’s first half
chances faded out of the picture. , ; .
Gramiteville’s hol^d on first place was
made more secure Friday afternoon
when Barnwell journeyed to Thomson
and in spite of the fact that they
were credited with 10 hits, the Car
penters succeeded in making enough
errors to lose, 9 to 8. The game was
protested in the first inning because
of an «llege,d ground rule, about which,
it is said, no mention was made prior
to the start of the game.
The loss of the two games in a
row put Graniteville out in front with
what appears a safe lead of 2V4 games
and there is hardly the remotest pos
sibility that it can be overcome in the
few remaining first half contests.
Graniteville has a good team—the
best in the league, as its record shows
—and the dub would have to strike a
ba4 slump to lose first place.

Persons who have not visited the
Sweetwater country club and golf
course within the past two or three
weeks will be surprised at the rapid
progress that U being made in the
development of than resort, which is
destined to be Rie mecca of the golf
enthusiasts of this section. The loca
tion of both the club house and the
golf course are ideal. The house is
being built on the top of a rather
steep hill that overlooks the little
which the
development gets its name, and which
has been dammed to form a sizeable
lake for a water hazard. The build
ing faces the east, with a spacious
veranda on two sides. A hall divides
a commodious lounging room on the
north side from the locker rooms and
shower baths on the south, while the
jdining room and kitchen face the
west.
A picturesque winding road through
the rolling terrain on which the golf
course is l^eing constructed leads
from the Barnwell-Augusta, highway
up to the dub house at the top of the
hill The house can also be approach
ed from the east over a road from the
old public highway.
The fairways have all been cleared
and prepared for their carpet of grass,
the seed for which has already been
ordered, and the greens are now under
course of construction.
It is expected that the £lub house
will be completed about July 1st and
it is understood that it will be formal
ly opened the night of Jtily 4th with
a dance. The golf coarse, however,
will not be ready for use until fall.

uiyier the public works act, approxi
mately $5,000,000, expects to con
struct between 550 and 600 miles of
roads, although these estimates may
be affected by exg>enditures to elimir
nate traffic hazards and because of
other limitations fixed by the act, of
ficials said Saturday.
Employes of the department, now
completing a list of projects from
which the commission is to make se-
ections at some time in the near fu
ture, made no announcement as to
the specific roads on which the work
would be done, but did say that their
plans were in such shape that their
surveys had extended into practically
every county of the State.” It is an
ticipated that the money shall be
spent over a period of two years, al
though no definite limitations are
set, and it was not defiitely planned
to begin projects in all the counties
during the first six months.
The hardsurfacing of/ipproximately
600 more miles of South Carol ins’s
highways will fill in many links in
ber present system and when com
pleted about 70 per cent of all the
State roads will be of the hardsurface
type. In other words, there were 2,380
miles of standard paving and 796 of
bituminous surface roads completed
m of September 30, 1932. Following
that time consturction has been start
ed on 366 miles of bituminous surfac
ing which will be completed this sum
mer. On the basis of these figures,
added to the 660 or 600 to be con
structed with new funds, South Caro
lina will have about 4,192 miles of
hardsurfaced roads. There are 5,962
mile* of roods, all types, in the sys
tem.
Since the act contemplates that the
first objective of the public works
program shall be the alleviation of
the unemployment situation, it is be
lieved that the projects will be dis
tributed over the State so aa to be
«
within the terms of this prorieion and
that the highway department may not
always be able to furnish those con
nections in the system, complete short
links between sections of pavement
that are highly desirsbls from the
standpoint of 'a highway system.
The proposed work will include the
improvement of existing road beds,
widening of the more heavily traveled
highways and elimination of traffic
hazards, either bad curves or grade
crossings, etc., and the construction
of road sidewalks. A study will also
be made with the view of providing
connections or loops around some of
the more important cities and towns
where highway traffic is congested.
Since the act provides that none of
the federal funds shall be ueed in the
acquisition of rights of way, the
highway department Is *l*o taking
into account that consideration in es
timating how many miles of road the
$6,500,000 will build »od this is fur
ther complicated because of its un
certainty as to how much of its own
funds it shall have to expend for this
purpose. .
President Roosevelt recently lifted
an executive order which was holding
up about $24,000 allocated to this
State under provisions of the iregolkt
federal legislation for the fiscal year
ending in 1933 and under the emer
gency relief construction act. As a
result of this relief the State will be
able to construct an underpass on
United States highway No. 29 near
Anderson; widen aryl raise two
bridges on No. 33 in Jasper County,
and do similar work on some bridges
on No. 4 in Clarendon County, and
on a bridge on route No. 35 between
Hartsville and McBee.
