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.

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.

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

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:

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

tamination.”

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.

Suffers Broken Arm.
Leroy Halford, of this city, suffered
a broken arm in a rather peculiar ac
cident near Brunson Friday. He was
driving a car with his arm resting on
the window, when he swerved the
car to avoid striking a dog on the
highway and a passing truck in the
apposite direction hit his arm, which
was broken in two places. 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. Buist are each the
proud owners of a lovely silver trophy
from the Olympic Society as winners
of the East-West championship for
the State in the recent Bridge Olym
pic. The trophy is about twelve
inches high, mounted on an ebony
base and bearing the world on a small
diamond, heart, club and spade. It
bears the inscription, “World Bridge
Olympic, 1933—State Championship.

and Mr. Buist played against Mrs
Buist and Mr. Creech as North and
South players.
The sixteen hands were not all
tricky but were hands that might be
deelt at any evening of bridge. All
players were thriled at the idea of
playing the same hand* that were
being played all over the world at
the aame time with one deck of cards
at each table. The game
