Fulmer Inquires as to Code Compliance Asks Pinckney How He Expects Small Saw m II Operators to Continue in Business. Seen and Heard Here During the Past Week Little Senae and Nonsense Abont People You Know and Others You Don’t Know. Congressman H. P. Fulmer has writ* ten to Lawrence M. Pinckney, State NBA compliance director, ^asking how he expects the Small lumber manu facturers to comply with the lumber manufacturers code and stay in busi ness. Congressman Fulmer’s letter was occasioned by an article in a South Carolina newspaper relating that a mill in- the State had! been “forced to close” by the NRA. “It appears that the NRA, under the cede authority which sawmills are operating, is determined to close the little sawmills in the South....”, the congressman wrote. “It ha# been demonstrated! that it is mpossible for these little sawmills to operate under the present code in that they are un able to secure the fixed minimum price for their lumber. It would appear to me that it is absolutely ridiculqps to enforce a cccie wldch will close the sawmills of the South, numbering around 7,000, and, thereby place on the federal relief rolls thousands of additional unemployed people who ' r ’ ive been working for these mill :rators.” Numerous comments, complimentary arid) otherwise, from supporters of the two teams at the Blackville-Barn- well football clash Friday afternoon. . . .

In justice to Coach Earl Carson, of Blackville, it should be staled thet at no time did he question the referee’s decision and did his uttermost to.per-, suede his players to continue after the touchdown had been scored. — Blackville started off with a rush and completely dominated the play for the entire first quarter and a part of the second. The visitors lost their first chance to score early in the first period when they intercepted a pass in Barnwell territory. On fourth down, with three yearus to go, a pass over the goal line was incomplete and the locals kicked out of danger from their twenty. About the middle of the second quarter, Barnwell took the effenstve, but an off-side penalty help ed halt the drive. The locals had started another offensive when the half endetl Barnwell again kitd the upper hand j in the third period, and after one drive had be* n halted by the visitors, Moore got loose for his .touchdown run. Dropping back to about his 35- yard line to pass, he found all of his receivers well covered by opposing players and deckSed to run with the ball. He eludeed two or three would- be tacklers and, aiJed by the best blocking ever seen here, he dashed 65 yards for the only score of the game. Aftr. Coach Carson had persuaded nine of his players to return to the game, the try for the extra point was made but the kick was wide. Blackville boasts the best team in a number of years and Gray, a very fast ball carrier, caused the locals considlerable trouble, getting off several nice runs. His team mates also played stellar football and but for the incident that ended the game so unceremoniously, the outcome would have been in doubt until the final whistle. The Barnwell boys are to be commended for the manner in which they stopped Blackville’s thrusts at their goal line and the of fensives that they staged on their own account.
