CROUCH COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION J Barnwell County Schools areVoff” are'^off’ a “flyTni for the 1935-193G session to a “flymg start.” Patrpns, trustees and teachers confidently face the future, and to use a stork phrase, “expect this to be the best session in the history of our schools.” Circumstances justify this optimistic outlook. Since I have been in the office of County Superintend ent of Education for just a few monihs,—having taken a vacation (?) for four years, I’m not familiar enough with the facts to give figures for a very wide comparison. However, these two groups stand out very pnminenily: For the ses sion closing July 1st, 1934, the a- mHunt of State aid was $32,854.00, and the FERA giants totaled for the same school year $2,278.4)0. At the end of the last school year,—July 1st, 1985, the State aid totaled $38,025.00 and the FERA grants last session a- mounted to $5,225.00. Now, that the State has raised teachers’ salaries and lengthened the teims by one month, more revenue is expected this term. Both if these are heartening to the teachers and 1 encouraging to trustees. In spite of the depression, twelve dis tricts each increased its special school district levies three mills by reason v)f a b nd issue. Barnwell Sets the Pace. The Court House district—Barnwell, '“set the pace” in the way of school improvements by erecting a $50,000.00 modern high scho 1 building with the aid of PWA funds. Modern apparatus and furniture were installed, three a'doltional teachers employed, (six new teachers at Barn- wdl), and several courses added to the schol’s curriculum. W. W. Car ter is the superintendent. The Blackville High School hns a PWA building progr im under way. A new grammar school building will be troctetJ, also a Feld House. The pres ent building will he re modeled into an adequate high school plant. The Blackville scho. 1 has six new teachers, including the Supei intendent, Byron Wham. The Williston-Elko school system, with seven cr eight new teachers led by Supt. C. K. Ackerman, has some innovations both in the curriculum and the plant. A Field or Community H -‘ruse has been planned with relief aid and is anxiously desired. This High .■school belongs to the Southern Associa tion of accredited schools and 1 colleges. The Hilda High School, Supt. J. Earle Herndon, has all new teachers' except two. It has its largest en rollment and offers bus transportation this session. Dunbarton High School, with W. T. Bennett as Superintendent, has its en tire faculty of teachers with their first year at Dunbarton. This school has a modern plant, and 1 is serving the grammar and high school pupils from ■'our or five districts. School Open. About all ot the white schools were open with the fourth Monday in Sep tember,—most of these retained their former teachers. Nearly 40 per cent, of our teachers this session are-serv ing their first year in them present positions. (Most of them, of course, have had experience.) Our county was classed last year as “A” in the State Association and we are expecting to make this record again this session and the loyal mem bers of the State Association are hop ing fer a 100 per cent, enrollment. Barnwell County has participated in the Relief program and anticipates its continuance. Adult schools for both white and colored are to be con ducted in nearly every district; these are under Mrs. Margaret Hogg as Organizer. Emergency agriculture teachers are under the leadership of Mr. John Miley. Besides these, we j have Emergency Home Economics teachers, school lunches, play-ground* activities, etc. The play-ground pro gram is under the leadership of Mrs. H. H. King. The county will file more than its allotment of NYA applica tions. This session the county has for its first time a Jcanes Supervisor for colored schools. The value of WPA applications for school plant im provement totaled more than $50,- 000.00. Sixteen new school buses were provided for the present session,—12 of these through the PWA. Solon of Barnwell Does Much Talking Representative Solomrn Blatt Mad* 26 Speeches During Last Session of Legislature. South Carolina legislators made 1,- 203 speeches from the floor during the 1935 session ; f the general assembly, in addition to numerous motions and arguments in committee meetings. Of this number, Col. Solomon Bktt, of Barnwell, member of the House, who was prominent in debate on highway and liquor legislation, is credited with twenty-six. The 46 senators, without any limita tion upon the length of time they talked, maidie a total of 568 speeches and .the 124 representatives debated 635 times in all. Dozen Speeches to Senator. The senator average.was more than 12 speeches a member while members of the larger house made an average of five each. Fifty-one members, or nearly one- third, were recorded as keeping silent during the session. They were six senator s and 45 representatives. The late Senator H. Kemper Cooke, of Horry, an administration supporter and “economy bloc” wheelhorse, made nearly twice as many speeches as any other member of either branch during the record session, the journal set forth. He made 10 per cent, of the senate arguments. Cooke argued in his fiery style 57 times, mostly during the early part of the session. Representative Cal houn Thomas, of Beaufort, and D. A. G. Ofizts, of Greenwood, who were listed as the most frequent debaters in the house, took, the floor only 35 times each.

' More cigarettes are smoked today because more people know’ about them—they are better advertised.- But the main reason for the increase is that they are made better—made of better tobaccos; then again the tobaccos are blended—a blend of Domestic and Turkish tobaccos. Chesterfield is wade of mild> ripe tobaccos. Everything that science knows about is used in making it a milder and better-tasting cigarette. We believe you will enjoy them. Thomas and Ouzts Lead. Thomas argued often in his position as chairman f the important house judiciary committee and Ouzts made the chamber ring with demands for lower expenditures. Senator Harry Hughes, of^Oconee, a spokesman for supporters of many major measures including the liquor law, stood second on the oratorical list of the legislature with 50 ad dresses. . . « Representative H. C. Godfrey, of Spartanburg, ardent advocate cf a number of labor measures before the legislature, spoke 29 times, and Rep resentative Neville Bennett, of Marl boro, chairman of the powerful house ways and means committee, joined debate on 27 occasions, most of them when fiscal matters were up for con sideration.
