After being in a batting slump for several games, the Barwell Carpen ters again struck their stride in Tues day afternoon’s game, when they gar nered 14 hits off of Lefty Norton to turn Thomson .back, 8 to 1. Langley, the local’s new left-hand er, pitched shutout ball until the 9th, when hits by Yonce and Norton net ted the visitors’ lone tally. The local line-up has been further strengthened by the addition of Nelms left fielder, and Duke, right fielder, both of whom came through nicely Tuesday, the latter featuring with a spectacular running catch of a hard drive that looked good for three ba«es. All three of the new players also hit well. The score: R H E Thomson.. 000 000 001—1 7 2 Barnwell . 200 001 Six—8 14 1 Norton and Ford; Langley and H. Gross. Barnwell SUpe to Two walks and two tuts on Tucker, coupled with an error by Stewart, third baseman, gave Sylranm a three- run leed in the first inning of Fri- Asy afternoon'* Georgia > Carolina league game that Barnwell was never able to overcome, and the visitors won, 5 to L It wae the locals' first defeat in the second half, while Granitevtlle won from Thomson, 6 to 3, to force Barnwell Into second place. “Sap** Wilson, on the mound for Sylranta, proved too much for Barn well, while Joe Jenkins, who was sold to the visitors only a week before, plsyed stellar ball, getting three hits out of four tries and fielding senmtionally. Wolfe replaced Tucker after three runs had been scored in only a third of an inning, and pitched effectively until the eighth, when, with two men down, three clean hits netted two very unneccessary runs. The inability of the locale to hit in the pinches figured in their defeat, ten runners bemg left on base. The score; R H E Sylvenia __300 000 020—5 12 2 Barnwell ..010 000 000—1 8 1 WUscn and Rhodes; Tucker, Wolfe and Greer. Barnwell Drops Another. Barnwell went into a tie for second place with Millen Saturday afternoon when the local club was defeated by Graniteville at Warren- ville. 3 to t. Barnwell got off to a bad start in the first inning when, with a possible double play in sight, McGaughey’s error at second paved the way for two runs. Both runners were safe at first and second. The next two batters were retired in or der and Whitlock was walked pur posely, filling the bases, McCarter then hit a hard single, scoring two runs. Barnwell was unable to tally until the fifth, whan Ray Fleming parked one over the right field fence for the circuit with nobody on base. Out side of that, Barnwell never serious ly threatened to score, only two run ners advancing as far as second base, while none reached third. In the eighth inning, with one down, Grsidteville hit into an easy double play, but the runner to second deliberately interfierrsd with Yeair- gin’s throw to first. As usual, the Graniteville umpire tailed to notice the interference and another hit in the inning scored the third and last run for the Rocks This waa the time within a week that illegal Seen and Heard Here During the Past Week A Little Sense and Nonsense About People You Know and Others '•v \ You Don’t Know.

Because of the development of two cases of typhoid fever here recently, feer was expressed by some persons that possibly the disease was caused by swimming in the new concrete pcol, the water for which is sup plied by Turkey Greek, in spite of the fact that one of the little patients has net been using tbe pool. On the theory that “it is better to be safe than sorry,” a sample of the water was submitted to the State board of health for an analysis and the follow ing report has been received here: Parts per million: Color 50.00 Chloride 0.00 Free Ammonia u 0.26 Albumonoid Ammonia 0.06 Nitrogen as Nitrites 0.00 Nitrogen as Nitrates 0.00 Total solids 77.00 Bacterial Analysis. B. Coli—Present. Remarks. “Though bacterial analysis shows presence of B. Coli, the chemical an alysis indicates water to be fijee from contamination and suitability of this water for swimming pool would oepend upon conditions existing on water shed. Presence of B. Coli organisms in creek waters have not usual significance, and water would be suitable for swimming unless there was reason to suspect that •tvearn waa subject to sewage con tamination.” Blackville Couple Win State Trophy Mxs.

Columbia.—Miss May Connelly, 16- year-oldi girl of Barnwell County, was alive todiay becouse of the trans fusion of mere than a pint of blood from a Record carrier boy on June 27—from a carrier who had never seen the young girl before and who returned to his work a few hours later and delivered all his papesr to his regular customers. Miss Connelly’s, left leg was ampu tated June 28th at the Baptist hospital. Her surgeon said that she could not have withstood the ordeal of the operation unless she had re ceived the blood transfusion from Hal Cole, 20-year old carrier who lives at 1022 Bryan street. The young girl’s leg became in fected from a blister on her heel and the infection spread so rapidly that it was necessary to amputate the leg just above the knee in an effort to save her life Modestly telling about his contri bution to science, young Cole, who timidly admits he’s “not quite 20” has little to say He explained that he happened to hear from one of his customers, Mrs. Gunnell, 724 Elm wood evenue, Monday afternoon that Mbs Connelly, a relative of the sub scriber, was in the hoepital and would need the transfusion before the opera tion. He, along with several others volunteered and his blood was found to match that of the young girl. “They took the blood out and made me reel for an hour," Cole explained. “I was ready to go before that time but they insisted that 1 must stay the bear. I carried the route in the afternoon.” Cole's territory is in Elmwood avenue and Calhoun street from the 800 black to the 300 block. A second blood transfusion was given to Miss Connelly on June 30, the blood being furnished by Emory Austin Zorn, of Denmark. She Is the daughter of H. W. Connelly, of the Friendship sect-on of this county and it is expected that she will be able to return home in about two weeks Two Fliers Killed. Stephen Darius and Stanley Giren- as, two American aviators who were of Lithuanian descent, were killed near Soldin, Pomerania, Germany, early Monday morning when their plane crashed in a forest which the fliers evidently mistook for a meadow in the dim light. They had covered 4,- 000 miles of their projected nonstop flight to Kaunas, capital of Lithua nia, and were within 400 miles of their goal when the tragedy occurred. Advertise in The People-Sentinel. Suffers Broken Arm. Leroy Halford, of this city, suffered a broken arm in a rather peculiar ac cident near Brunson Friday.

He was caried to the Aiken hospital to have the broken bones set. Plans for Cotton Destruction At Early Date Taking Shape Washington, July 17.—Farm ad ministrators said today they are working out a plan so that cotton farmers may plow up portions of their fields before receviing formal notification of acceptance of the con tract offers they signed in the acreage reduction camjpaign. Administrators will seek to do this in cases where local climatic condi tions make it possible for farmers to plant a feed crop providing they destroy part of their growing cotton aoon. C. A. Cobb, cotton production chief, is preparing the ngw plan, which was found necessary ha view of the big task of U hols ting the con tract- offers. j Because to many eon tree’s signed by farmers to curtail their produc tion from 25 to 50 per cent have not yet been received here, it was definite ly determined today that no con tracts can be accepted until after Wednesday night which is the dead line for county agents to send the contracts to Washington. The result is that prior hopes of getting the first checks out by Wed nesday have been abandoned and there is little likelihood that pay ments of benefits to farmer* for their agreements can be made before Fri day or Saturday. Administrators estimated tonight on the haais of contracts so far re ceived and those ia prospect that cot ton farmers have offered to destroy about 10,500,000 acres of their grew- kf.c*op. Blackville, July 17.—Mra Lonnie Creech and H. L.
