Both have won their first three statts and will face each other at Warrenville Saturday. la the game here Tuesday afternoon with Augusta, the locals got off to an early lead, only to have the score tied in the fifth at four all. In the seventh, Bairi tripled and stole home on Gray to put the visitors out in front, but Barnwell staged a batting rally that netted three runs in the last half of the same frame and put the game on ice.

Sylvania finished the game under protest. Millen defeated Thomson. 7 to 5. in an 11-inning game, and this game was also protested. Thomson claiming that M llen played ineligible men. Bamberg and St. Matthews played to a 2-2 tie, the game being halted in the ninth by rain. Bi pll Win* Opener. / Barnwell got off to a good start in the second half of the Georgia-Carc- lina League by defeating St. Mat thews in the opening game, playad at Sw Matthews Thursday afternoon, 8 to 2. Tucker stalled for Barnwell, but was relieved by Wolfe in the fifth inning. Graniteville defeated Bamberg; Thomson won from Augusta, and Millen took Sylvania’s measure in the opening tilts. Barnwell 7, Millen 3. Gray’s wildness and timely hitting by Millen in the first two stanzas of Friday afternoon’s game at Barn well gave the visitors a two-run lead, but the looaU went ahead in the third when they jumped Davis for four runs and by playing jam-up baseball for the remainder of the contest copped the second game of the second half, 7 to 8. Hitting honors were about evenly divided between the two teams, but sensational fielding on the part of Barnwell robbed Millen of several hits. Davis, who pitched effective ball for two innings, blew up in the third and was replaced by Lucas. Money, Barnwell’s new center fie’.der, gave a good account cf himself in both games, hitting and fielding in big league style. * *• Millen 110 000 010—3 11 0 Barnwell 004 100 20x—7 12 2 Davis, Lucas and Daniel, Farmer; Gray and Greer.

State Short Course at Winthrop College / V —— Barnwell County Well Represented.— Two 4-H Club Members W/ite Stories. Chevrolet Doubles New Car Production Manufactured Twice as Miny Cars and Trucks in June Than Same Month Last Year. «. Production pf new Chevrolet cars and trucks in June more than doubl ed cutput for the corresponding month last year and was the largest aingle month’s production in two years, W. S. Knudsen, president and general manager of the Chevrolet Motor Com pany announced today. With a total output of 81,573 units, June compares with 36,142 in June last year and with 68,538 in May this year, previously the best month since June, 1931, Mr. Knudsen said. He emphasized that the high June total was made possible only by the splendid morale and co-opeiation ex tended by the more than 36,000 em ployes now on the company payrolls. Mr. Knudsen said he hoped, thiough the share-the-work plan practiced by h>s company in recent years, to hold the employment curve flatter this summer than has been possible in past scaions. Every effort has been made thiough the depression, he pointed cut, to pro vide for the regular Chevrolet work ers. Through reguiating houcs of wotk per week to retail demand, arvd by building up parts stocks in lean seasons, it has been possible for eleven months of each year since 1929 to hold Chevrolet payrolls to within ten per cent of the average of 32,500 men,' Mr. Knudsen stated. June production exceeding May is unusual in his company’s experience, Mr. Knudfeen said, since either April or May are normally peak months of the year. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Easterling and children were visitors in Augusta Sunday. They were accompanied home by Mra B. L. Easterling, who spent several days last week with 1 relatives there.

Those attending the women’s Short Course held at the same time were Mrs. C. O. Meyer and Mrs. Albert Ellis, of Meyer’s Mill, and Mrs. Whitaker, of Williston. The program for girls consisted of instruction periods in nature study, music, health and clothing. Games and folk dancing, Art Tours, and shop ping tears helped to break the daily routine of class room work. The following stories were written by two 4-H members in attendance: Our 4-H Club Short Curse. (By Sarah Frances Brodie, age 12.) Op Monday, June 26th, the 4-H club girls of South Carolina arrived at Winthrop College. A great many of the girls won a contest in the club work. Some won in bread, clothing, health, health imprevement and room improvement. Each morning at nine o’clock we went to the main auditorium. There Mrs. Harriet F. Johnson spoke and Mrs. Dora Dee Walker told a flower legend. We learned new sengs. too. Each n.ght we had some entertain ment. Tue*day night we had a camp-1 fire, Wednesday night a movie, Thurs day night picture talk and content announcements, and Friday n-ght a concert. Each afternoon swimming was en joyed by many girls. The gymnas ium was used, too. A lady from the Phiilipines came to tht short course to loam our way of carrying on 4-H Club work so she could teach the Phillipinoa. Her name was Presenlicion Artienza. There were many other ladies from different parts of the Eastern States. The Camp Fire. (By Grace Miles, of Blhckville.) The 4-H Club girls and wemen had s camp fire at the athletic field. The camp fire was Tuesday night, June 25th. There were four 4-H club girU who sang a song. Mrs. W. G. Magginis also told them a very in teresting story. Mrs. Dora Dee alker read a p^em. Every woman and girl at the short course sang a few songs. Miss Vivian Ellis played the piano for them. Then all the 4-H ciub jfirl were in groups, and made a wheel. Then each group made a spoke, and the ladies made the rim of the wheel. Each girl and woman held s little candle which was lighted while the entire group sang, “Fol low the Oleum.” The camp fire was very interesting to every one who was there. The program ended with singing of Taps. Native of Barnwell Dies at Dallas, Terf. Barry Miller, Former Lieutenant Gov ernor, Visited Old Home County a Few Years Ago. Barry Mhler, a native of Barnwell and three times lieutenant governor of Texas, died at his home near Dal las, Texas, on June 20th after a seri ous illness of several months. He was bom on a plantation near Barn well, December 25, 1964, his parents being Dr. Thomas Johnston Miller apd Mrs. Rachel Barry Miller. Mr. Miller was quite prominent in the political life of the Lone Star State, having serl^d first as judge of the criminal district court of Dallas County. When he had cleared the docket, he recommended to the legis lature that hi* court be abolished. In 1916 he successfully managed Senator Culberson’s campaign for re-election, and when Culberson was defeated in 1922, Miller also suffered a political defeat for the first time in his life. He failed of re-election to the Texas house of representatives, where he had served three terms. Two years later, however, he was elected lieutenant governor and was re-elected in 1926 and 1928. In 1930 he eras defeated for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. He was married and the father of three son* and a daughter.

The cotton acreage reducticn pro gram was scheduled to close last night (Wednesday), according to an announcepient made Tuesday by Sec retary of Agriculture Wallace. At that time it was believed that con- tiacts for enough acreage to insure the success cf the plan would be se cured, althcugh Secretary Wallace warned the fanners that this was not certain and urged them to adopt the plan. The government also re quested the names of all farmers who . tefused to sign contracts. This is taken to mean that farmers who do not cooperate in this movement will not be eligible to participate in future government benefits. Jasper Bates.

In an effort to further strengthen the Bsmwell baseball club of the Georgia-Carolina league. Manager Billy Laval has released four mem bers of the team during the past week, all of whom have been or will be replaced by others. Those who were (•leased over the week-end are Joe Jenkins, who goes to Sylvania, Ar thur Bookhsrdt, Tote Miller and Money, a big outfielder who joined the club last week and played only two games. r Jenkins, who was well among the leading hitter* of the circuit last year, tea been in a batting slump for the past few weeks, although he has been fielding Ms position In an acceptable manner. He is a likeable young chap, who made a number of friends dur ing his stay in BarnwgU, as did also Bookhsrdt and Miller. Bcokhardt, who is a pitcher, was playing out of position at shortstop but for the first few games “delivered the goods.” However, he began to error frequently and also fell off in his batting. It will be recalled, how ever, that he went in as a pinch-hit- rer in Ia?t week’s game with Granite ville and started the rally that won the contest. Miller, who came to Barnwell from Florida with quite a record in those parts, was not deem ed equal to the fast company in which he has found himself. The best wishes of their friends will follow them. Money played only two games with Barnwell, but made good with the fans. It jjjvas necessary to release him, however, because cf the league rule limiting the number of “class men” that a club can play. Two new players, “Mac” McG-aughy, infielder, and Beverly (“Red”) Fer rell, outfielder, joined the club this week. It is understood that Mana ger Laval is negotiating for v one or two mere players also.
