Seen and Heard Here During the Past Week A Little Senae and v Nonsense About People You Know and Othero You Don’t Know. Washington, Aug. 24.—The approv ed of Secretary Wallace and President Roosevelt was virtually all that was necessary today to put before the growers for acceptance a new cotton plan to limit acreage to 25,000,000 next year.

Lonnie Calhoun deciding that Barnwell’s hopes of winning the second half cf the Georgia-Carolina League pennant race were Masted during the past week when the loca’s dropped Friday’s game to Millen and lost to Bamberg Tuesday in a clo«e and exciting contest. Costly errors in the second and third innings of the Millen game gave the visitors four unearned runs and a lead that Barn well was never able to overcome, the final score being 9 to 4 in favor of the Babies. The day before the Car penters had won an easy victory from Yemassee, 9 to 2, and on Monday they defeated Augusta, 11 to 8, in a loosely played contest in which Trommer- hauler wa* driven to the shower* in the third inning. The race ha* now narrowed down to a fight to the finish am< ng three club*—Millen. Bamberg and Thomson, the Babies leading Charlie Coving ton's Wolves by a margin of only half a game, while Thomson ia two games behind the leaders with a tie game to be played eff if necessary to de cide the outcome. The other clubs art definitely cut of the running. Should Thomson narrow the gap now separating the McDuffs frem Millen and Bamberg, it is possible fcr Bsrn well'* last two games with Thomson on Fiiday and Saturday to decide the sec nd half winner. After being in the league only on week, Yemassee found the going to strmu us sal relrnguuhed its fian- thise Friday night The remaining games on its schedule were declared forfeited. The second half ends Saturday of this week. ^ The Sccuts of Tro;p 1, of Barnwell, led by the Rev. I(. H.
