Fullerton Buist, of Blackville, and James O’Hanlon Patterson, of Barnwell, were admitted to practice taw last Friday after standing an ex cellent examination before the Su preme Court. Dr. A. B.

Graham, was elected “the prettiest baby in town,” winning a beautiful baby cress made by Miss Pauline Duncan. Allendale.—A good citizen who has arrived at the goodly age of 51 years had trouble with his teeth some time ago, and as a last resort had them ex tracted. To his great surprise he has commenced to cut a full new' set antf has had to h ive his gums lanced several times. Strangely enough he is troubled with the ailments that usually affect infants during the teeth ing period. Four inches of rain fell in Williston in 50 minutes Sunday afternoon.

The old Fair house building on East Main Street was burned' about ten o’clock Saturday morning. It was the property of Mr. R. W. Dicks. We have received from Hon. James F.

WINCHESTER C. SMITH MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT {CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) position. His selection to the post was in recognition of his vital inter est in rural electrification over a period of many years. Last month he was elected as a delegate to the National Democratic Convention from the Second Congressional District. In addition to hi s legislative duties, Mr. Smith is a leading business man and farmer, being a director of the Citizen s and Southern National Bank of Augusta. Two years ago, John K. Aull, vet eran newspaper man of Columbia, wrote the following: “Oyer in the house, Barnwell County this session hn s distinguished herself by her two representatives, Sol Blatt and Win chester C. Smith. Both these gen, Uemen have taken a prominent part in legislation; both have weilded an influence which has had its effect upon legislation.” What Mr. Aull wrote then is equally true of their influence in the session now drawing to a close, and both of these gentlemen are pre pared to give accounts of their stew ardship if and when the occasion arises. Mr. Smith’s formal announcement will be found elsewhere in this issue of The People-Sentinel. Triple “C” News Notes (By Arthur Ridkiock, Reporter.) Dance Coming Up. Preparations are about complete for another dance at the Barnwell Camp Friday, June 5th. George Hall’s Orchestra from Batesburg, will fur nish the music. This band has been playing at Blackville for some time, and according to all accounts i s a first rate outfit. This will be their first engagement for company 1168., and their first, in Barnwell in some time. George McCormack, of Black-! ville, is the manager. The dance at Walterboro on Friday, May 22nd, was such a big success that the committee from the main camp will have a hard time beating it. Frank Merchant has been in charge, and ha s been ably assisted by Bill Kearse, Leonard Dunn, Thompson Siegler and Albert Griffin. They say this will be the'best yet. Baseball Game. Barnwell lost again Saturday on the local diamond, this time to the boys from Edisto. The home camp boys started off strong, but in the fifth in ning the visitors got away with five runs, to make the score 5-4 in their favor. They made seven more in the sixth, and those 12 were enough to win. Barnwell scored three in the first, one in the third, one in the sixth, to total 6 to 12. It look s as if the disadvantage of having the men divided between three locations, so that the whole team never practice together, i s a handicap that Barnwell will find hard to overcome. Potter started off pitching for the visitors, and was relieved by Lord af ter the disastrous sixth. That inning in which so many run s were made can not be blamed on the pitcher, however, as plenty of fumbles and error s of all kinds contributed to the visitor’s runs. The locals just let up for a couple of innings, and it was too bad. Jones pitched' steady ball for Edisto all the way through, and was given fairly consistent support. Stunt Night. We had our regular weekly stunt nigljt Wednesday night, consisting this time mainly of musical numbers. Mr. Bryan made hi s talk on Current Events, and we had a little discussion on parole and pardoning of prisoners, and then Mays and Davis, two of the new boys started off with a song number. The program wa s informal and largely extemporaneous. Some of the numbers were selections on the fiddle by “Peavine” Teal, mouth organ numbers by Giles, also by Fowler Boone, dances by Fowler Beene, Dunn and Mr. Bryan, and 1 selections cn the guitar by “Minus” Rawlinson. We are glad to announce that Mrs. Maude Patterson is back w’ith us every evening after being off for a couple of weeks. Dr. Ralph Brown has moved to this camp from Montmorenci. After fin ishing his tour, Lieut. Brown expects to practice medicine in Barnwell. Mrs. Brown is expected to move to Barnwell shortly. Mrs. Charles A. Ritchie, command ing officer of our commanding offi cer, arrived in town on Sunday. Now will you be good? Everett Teal, brother of “Peavine” Teal, and football star at Furman, is in camp for a few days. Mr. Bryan’s brother, Louis, came down from Carolina to spend Sun day night and went back in Mr. Bry an’s car. , Local Teachers to Their Homes.
