A Little Sense and Nonsense About People YoA Know a^l Others You Don’t Know. Barnwell and all other towrus of this county are exempt from the pro visions of the retail code, according to an executive order issued by Presi- dent Roosevelt Monday night. The President stated in hi? radio speech .Sunday night that the NRA does not apply to towns of less than 2,500 population and this provision was ccrpcrated in the retail code .-igned late Monday night. Washington, Oct. 23.—The retail code, broadened by an appendix to cover all drug stores and bearing pro visions exempting establishments in .-mall towns, today bore the presiden tial signature necessary to put it into « peration a week hence. Signing of the document late last night by Piesident Roosevelt over shadowed all other developments at the headquarters of the industrial ad- ministiation today. Incorporation of the drug tprovis- i< ns in the general retail code elimi- j nated the necessity fop a separte com pact for dtuggists. The exemption of employers of five persons or less in towns of less than 2,500 was provided in an executive v rder issued by the president. It ap plied to signers of the presidential i eemployment agieement as well as to the code, allowing the release.of those employers in such towns who do not desire to continue to observe the agreement. Another section/bf the executive or der instructed tfyc industrial adminis trator to set up adequate organiza tions to handle complaints against retail piice^ncieases. PrisonlUn Suspended. The drug provisions of the retail code were stripped of the highly con troverted provision by which drug gists sought to provide that trade marked drug and toilet articles whose retail price is fixed by the manufac- turdr should not be sold at a greater ount than 21 pet cent of the fixed P/ ' This eliminated a provision that had been vigorously fought by the consumers representatives at the NRA. The drug retailers were given Carolina and Clemson supporters both profes ing to be satisfied over the outcome of Thursday’s annual game at the State Fair—the former because Carolina won and the latter because Clemion wasn’t beaten any worse—(though if y<?u ask U-, it is our opinion that both were a leetle mite disappointed—Carolina fans be cause the score wasn’t larger and Clemson fans becau-e they entertain ed .the secret hope that the dope- bucket would be upset.) . .

NichoJ'on, of Ridgeway, an nounce the engagement of their daughter. Mis- Eva Nicholson, and Joe Heion Owens, of Winnsboro. The wedding will take place in Novembebr. Miss Nicholson was graduated from Converse College in 1929 and since then ha- taught in the public schools of Manning and Barnwell. She has been a frequent visitor in Columbia and her marriage will be of interest to her many friends all over the State. Mr. Owens is a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity and attended wages was provided this was limited Piesbyterian college. He is connect ed with the Winnsboro Cotton milL in Winnsboro.

A superior Barnwell high school football eleven defeated the Black ville high school team at Blackville Wednesday afternoon of last week, 19 to 0. Penalties aggregating approxi mately 100 yeards were imposed cn Barnwell for various alleged offenses, while Blackville lost vety little yard age by that method, but the latter’s numerous fumbles, mo-t of which were recovered by Barnwell, contri buted to their downfall. Barnwell scared in the first, second and fourth quarters, and after the third touch down Coach Price began sending in his second and third string players. The teams then battled on more even terms and the game ended with the ball in Blackviile’s possession deep in their own territory. Barnwell made .several sustained drives on stiaight football, but Blackville was never able to gain consistently, although they completed a number of passes, on several of which one or more of their player* were offside. However, they weie allowed to count. The one-sided im position of penalties drew sharp criticism from the Barnwell suppor ters. Blackville’s niceri gain of the game was made on a sweeping end lun on the first play. Plays through the Barnwell line invariably failed. Blackville has some promising ma terial and should make a good show ing before the season is ended. The loca^ clicked better in Wednesday’s game than at any time-this y&ar and the work of the backs ha? shown con- sidetable improvement. ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel Williston, Oct. 24.—A new aspara gus growers’ association yet to be named was organized heie today, the membership consisting cf growers of Williston, Blackville, Elko, Dunbarton sections. Growers in ether sections will be invited to join the newly form ed association. More than 50 growers, including seme of the largest of South Caiolina asparagus shippers, pledged their membership. Chester Mat thews, cf Blackville, wa* elected presi dent and T. R. Pender, of Williston, vice-piesident. Directors are: Rufus Lott, S. M. Dyson, P. S. Gieene, A. R. Still, John O’Gorman and I. Keeler. Other directors will be yarned from other sections as the membership wan ants, two directors being named from every section represented The following were appointed by the president to draw up a constitu tion and by-laws to be presented at the next meeting: John O’Goiman, Blackville; S. M. Dyson, John Miley, R. J. Rountiee, Williston, and P. S. Greene, Elkc. The association, when fully organiz ed, -will probably control 75 per cent, of Jhe shipments of asparagus from this section, it is estimated. The cppoitunity schools, or schools for adult education, will be organized in the various districts of Barnwell County this week, under the direction 6f the State department of education, the relief council, the county board of education and the county legislative delegation. These schools are made possible by the federal government thiough the relief council. Schools of a similar type were es tablished in Batnwell County a few years ago but differed in many re spects from the cppoitunity schools, which offer splendid advantages to all who take advantage of them. Eligible Pupils. Pupils over 14 years of age who cannot attend public schools and who have not completed the elementary grades are eligible for * enrollment. Pupils taught in the homes may be counted as enrolled pupils. All those of any age who have not had an opportnuity to go to school are eligi ble and are urged to take advantage of this opportunity and Ik? ready to enroll immediately. The trustees in each district are asked to help make a canvas? of their district with the teacher in order to find out "how many students of this type are available. It is estimatec that half of Barnwell County’* popu lation has not completed the fourth giade, hence the great need for such a school. Day classes as well as night classes may be taught, and sessions may be held duiing the session of the public schools, provided there is a vacant room in which to teach. This will be in accordance with the needs ant convenience of the students in each community. Teachers Appointed. The teachers for these schools have already been appointed and are as follows: Miss Mattie Mae Still ant Miss Jean Rountree, of Blackville Miss Jewell Woodward, Miss Ethe Anderson, C. F. Carter and Miss Bonita Browning, of Barnwell; Miss Cotton Ginning Report. "ormer Blackville Man Elected Bishop he Rev. R. E.*Bribben Heads Protean tant Episcopal Diocese of West ern North Carolina. V Of interest to a wide circle of friends in Barnwell County is the announce ment that the Rev. R. E. Gribben, for merly of Blackville, was elected unanimously last week as bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina at Ruther- ’ordton, N. C. At one time he was assistant to the Rev. Dr. William Way at Grace Church in Charleston and wa s educated at The Citadel and the College of Charleston. He was rector of St. Paul’s in Winston-Salem^. C., at the time of his election to ml the post left vacant by the death cf Bishop Junius M. Honrer. Bishop Gribben’s moher, Mrs. R. M. Gribben, and sister, Mis. John Molony, reside at Blackville. The Asheville Citizen has the fol lowing to -say in reference to the elec tion cf the new bishop: In the election of the Rev. Robert Emmet Gribben of Winston-Salem as bishop of the Diocese of;Western North Carolina, succeeding the late Bishop Horner, the Episcopalian* of the diocese have made an exceedingly happy choice. We have known Mr. Gribben since his college days—known him and liked him. When as a student he was pres ident of the Young Men’s Christian association at The Citadel, the Mili tary College of South Carolina, that organization enrolled practically the entire student body of the institu tion. The new brihap drew attention to himself then for the qualities which have distinguished him increasingly in his active ministry. He ha? ycuth, personality, good judgment and a proper zeal. Diligent in service himself, he can inspire n like diligence in others. He likes peo ple and has the gift of understanding them and of understanding these problems. Those who know him are drawn to him. Ha creatas among those with whom he works and with whom he associates an atmosphere of healthfulness. _ We are assured that his congrega tion at St. Paul’s Church in Winaton- Eunice Hill, of Snellmg, and J.

These opportunity schools are be ing sponsored by the county legisla tive delegation and are under the direction of B. S. Moore, Jr., county superintendent of education, and Mrs. Holland, county organizer, to whom all applications for the establishment of these schools should be directed. Mrs. Holland wil canvas.* the county along with the teachers in order to establish as many classes a* possible. There were 12,080 bales of cctton ginned in Bemwell County from the crop cf 1933 prior to October 1st, as compare^ -with 9,477 v bales ginned ta the same date la-t yi^ir, according to a report made public this week by F. W. Delk, special agent, of Black ville. ADVERTISE in ihe People-Sentinel Motorists Not Buying Tags - May Lose Two-Month Credit Columbia, Qct_ 22.—There may be a "joker” in the ‘‘No Tag Before Christmas” movement. Although no official statement ha.* been forthcoming, a view held in some quaiters today was that, granting the 1933 auto plates may be used until December 31, their owners would be losers. The rea*oning takes this course: Whether 1934 licenses are bought be fore November 1 or January 1, the buyer would have to pay the full year charge. And the position is that if tbe*«ld tag* are used until the end cf the year, the right to the credit al lowed on new* plates now for the un- expiied tw:> months of the 1933 tag yea: wouid be forfeited. If this „.*hould prove the case, a Attend Training Course. . A training course for white teachers and organizer* who are to aid the State department of education in its program for adult education in South Carolina was held in Columbia last week from October 16th to 21st. This school was financed by the federal re lief administration, ML*s Will Lou Gray, superisor of adult or opportunity schools for South Carolina, arranged very inter esting programs, both from the stand point of instruction and entertain ment. , Some cf the speakers, enter tainers, mu-ician? and instructors who aided in the success of the programs were Supt. J. H. Hope, Dr. Patterson Wardlaw, Mr. W. L. Mullikin, Mr. Malcolm J. Miller, Prof. Maurice Matheson, Miss Lillian Hoffman, Prof. Milton Arial, Dr. Croft Wil liams, Miss Grigsby and Dr. Josiah their devotion to him. They will not want to give him up but they will dm so, doubtless, however reluctantly, if he L« convinced that his call to the bishopric here offers him a wider field of usefulness. There can scarcely bn any question as to that and henen there is every rejk*on to hope and be lieve that hfc will accept'the call. The election of Mr. Gribben an bishop was a matter for the Episco palians of Western North Carolina. His coming here will bring to Ashe ville and to this mountain country a man whose influence should prove n spiritual and civic force for the good of the entire community. Morse—Zeigler. w Denmark, Oct. 21.—Announcements of the marriage of Miss Millie Mors^ of Dayton, Ohio, to Lieutenant Fran cis M.
