THE IMPROVED streamlining of the front end of the Ford V-8 for
193G is well illustrated by.this camera shot. Note the horn set into the
fender apron behind a chromium grille and the way the graceful con
tour of the fender is carried to the edge of the new radiator grille. A
glimpse of the new hood louvres is caught behind the Headlamp. The
V-8 insignia on the prow of the car is of new design. ^
BARNWELL COUNTY SCHOOLS
By HORACE J. 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.

major measures including the liquor
law, stood second on the oratorical

dresses. . . «
