Seen and Heard Here During the Past Week A Little Sense and Nonsense About * People You Know and Others You Don’t Know. Camden’s well-coached, hard tackl ing football team, displaying a good attack qn the giound and in the air, while Barnwell' was turning in its poorest exhibition of the entity sea son, both on offense and defense, de feated the locals on Fuller Field FiK, day afternoon, 18 to 0 . Aided by four offside penalties in a a row that gave them as many first downs, the visitors carried the open ing kick-off from the 45 to the 5- yard line where the Barnwell defense stiffened and the ball went over on downs. The locals punted on the first play and Camden returned the punt to Barnwell's 30-yard stripe’. After again being held for three downs near the goal line, a forward pass was completed for the first score. A fum ble in the second perjod probably cost Camden another touchdown and the half ended with the visitors leading, (> to 0. Demoralized by the loss of Brutus / Baxley, one of the best backs on the local squad, who suffered a painful injury to his neck early in the second quarter and was rushed to an Augusta hospital, the Barnwell de fense weakened and Camden scored again early in the third quarter after intercepting a pass deep in Barnwell territory. Shortly thereafter the vis itors recovered a Banwell fumble and scored for the third and last time. The game ended with the ball in Camden’s possession near the Barnwell goal line after another pass had been intercepted. Barnwell was woefully weak in de fense against passes and had seveial of their own heaves intercepted. The locals were never able to get their offense to click and did not theaten the Camden goal at any time during the game, making only one first down throughout the entire contest. On the other hand, Camden completed a number of passes for long gains while their running attack also 4 net ted considerable yardage. Their de fense was air-tight and stopped prac tically every Barnwell thrust. The locals did not display the same brand J of tackling and blocking displayed in past games. The annual game between Barnwell and Allendale will be played this (Thursday) morning at 10:30 o’clock cn Fuller Field.

Jr., of Williston, Expects Shorter Session of > ' • Legislature. “ Farmers of lower South Carolina are in better financial condition at the present time than they were a year ago, in the opinion of Represen tative Winchester C. Smith, Jr., of Barnwell County, who was in Charles ton Friday on business. Representative Smith pointed out that cotton has brought a much bet ter price than was prevalent last year, and that tobacco also sold at higher prices. A shorter session of the State legis lature in 1934 also is expected by Representative Smith. One of the factors which will bring this about* he said, is that the ways and means committee of the house will meet a week earlier this year, to begin its work on the annual appropriation bill. The legislature this year will find its problems somewhat simplified, com pared to last year, because the appro priations in 1934 yyill be made for one year, whereasTKe 1933 bill contains appropriations for eighteen mcnths, due to the change ii^the fiscal year, he said. Representative Smith is a planter, dairyman and broker at Williston.— *News and Courier. Ellenton Home Destroyed.

Saturday night, the store of A. D? Furtick, at the intersection of routes 3 and 64 in the southeastern part of this city, was entered and robbed of about $8 worth of merchadise, including cigars, cigar ettes and other small articles. The following day, Sheriff J. B. Morris ar rested Joe Hogg, a negro, and lodged him in the Barnwell County jail charg ed with the crime. Most of the mer chandise was recovered at the home of Hogg’s sister near Barnwell. Sunday night five petty thefts were committed in various parts of the city, the marauders for the most part confining their activities to raids on chicken houses. An automobile tire was stolen from the trailer in the yard of B. L. Easterling. A couple of weeks before the spare tire on Dr. M. C. Best’s cai was stolen. A series of robberies and thefts have been committed here during the past several months, the loot ranging all the way from a chicken to $500 worth of merchandise. Several ar rests have been made, including Hogg and the two negroes who entered Ma- zursky’s store a few weeks ago. In both of these instances the stolen mer- chandise was recovered.

(“Bill Henry’’) Harden was critically injured Monday afternoon when the former’s light convertible coupe turned ever on the Barnwell- Allendale highway, about five miles south of this city, while the two men were en route to their homes in Kline. There were no eye-witnesses to the accident, but it is believed that a tiro blew out, causing Ready to lose con trol of the car at the top of a hill. The two men were thrown clear of the coupe, which was badly wrecked. Another motorist came upon the scene of the accident a ,few minutes later and summoned aid.' Mr. Ready was dead and Mr. Harden was uncon scious and could give no details of the wreck.* An ambulance was summoned from Allendale and Mr. Harden was hurried to an Augusta hospital.
