Payne Delivers Last Sermon.—Is Presented With Silver Pitcher. The Most Democratic Donkey in the Country In the production of good quality staple cotton Barnwell County has made rapid strides in the past ten years. Prior to 1926 less than 20 per cent, of the cotton produced was of inch staple or better. No doubt that the State 5-Acre Cot ton Staple Improvement Contes has done more towards this improvement than any other one factor. Beginning in 1926 ten to twenty-five farmers each year have entered this contest in Barnwell County. In practically all cases seed planted were bought direct from the breeder. During the years of this contest from the fields more than twenty thousand bushels of good seed have been produced which were for use the following years by the growers and their neighbors. These seed were in many cases cf wilt re sistant varieties which has contribut ed materially towards controlling wilt in cotton generally. This county’s record in the contest is evidence of the interest manifested by fanners. Six States and district prises have been won for a total of 11,525.00. These prizes consist of one first State prise, two first district and three second district prises. Ginners are cooperating in the pro gram to improvt the staple in the county. One has recently placed a 50- huahel order with one of the breeders of the Istest strain of wilt resistant cotton • seed which will prod or* an inch sad sixteonth cotton. With other porrhaaes of good seed thts r oanmnni ty may expect mark improvement. Another person who Is a and Is also is to rested in Barnwell has traded between t largo fanner n gm at and fifteen hundred bushel, of pore •eed grown by him w th pnireas. of hi* gm making ae extra charge fee tbeee seed which peed nee inch .tapir ar better la tbe Clienteo cnaanmatty. the Blackville, Nov. 14.—A prayer room filled to capacity, necessitating the use of sn adjoining class room, greeted the Rev. L. G. Payne Wednes day evening as he spoke to his people at the concluding meeting of his five year pastorate in Blackville. The Rev. Mr. Payne will go to Eau Claire to fill the pulpit of the Baptist church. The subject of his talk for the evening was “Look on the Bright Side of Things.” At the close of the service, Mrs. H. B. Grimes presented him with a silver water pitcher en graved with his name, from the church body as a token of their love and es teem and appreciation of his unselfish service. A personal gift to her pas tor at the same time was a silver gob let. Mrs. L. A. Pender, president of the Missionary society then gave Mrs. Payne a lace dinner cloth from the membeis of the society. Circle No. 1 of which Mrs. Payne was a faithful member selected as their gift a piece of flat silver. In acknowledging the gilt, the Rev. Mr. Payne spoke of his years of happy service here, inspired by the friendly counsel of his board of dea cons and cheered by the faithfulness of the church body. He antd that B’ackvtlle would ever be home to him and that his home would always be open to the people of thts com munity In com - Km ton he paid tribute to the ctttaeuehip of BlochviLe other Kan the immediate church gtoup. at leettng that memories of hte days here would enrich hte life In hts new [ field.

MnUny » C Kline, Nov. 16.—It is “finishing ui>” time on the turkey farm of W. H. Moody, Jr., who lives about three miles from this Barnwell County town. A few weeks ago, Mr. Moody had 1,000 turkeys on his farm, all raised on the place from poults, the eggs having been hatched in an incubator in Columbia; Right now, in batches of 30 or 40, he is putting them in close confine ment, feeding them heavily and finish ing them off for the market. He has sold some 300 or 400 already this fall and others will be disposed of soon. The birds are sold wholesale to a big packing house, and are bringing about 25 cents a pound, dressed, wholesale. When the great flock of about 700 birds move forward, with heads high and wattles shining red in the sun, the ordinary spectator is moved to admiration. Appearance of a stranger about the range is signal for a tre mendous outburst of “gobbling” that rather startles a visitor not accustom ed to the noise a flock can make when so minded.

F'airfas. Barnwell High School footliall team took full advantage of its one break here Friday afternoon and shoved over a touchdown on a 40-yard sprint by Baxley in the third period to de feat the fighting Fairfax High team, 6 to 0. After a listless first half, with the only fireworks shown by Fairfax, in two drives deep into Barnwell terri tory which were averted only by stout defensive play, Barnwell un- [ corked its cne scoring play in the third period. Fairfax was able to gain practically at will in the middle of the field during the early stages of the game but were unable to cross the last white stripe. Fairfax tried four forward passes wi'th Baxley intercepting two and Barnwell tried two with one inter- 1 ception resulting. The lone touchdown of the game was the result of a beautful run by Baxley, who broke around his own right end, reversed his field, picked up a couple of interferers and scam pered 40 yards for a touchdown, with out being touched by a single tackier. The try for extra point failed when a 1 pass intended for Lemon, was short. A Fall Festival.

The Federal Surplus torn- mcditir* t or potation arranges with accredited relief and welfare agencies in the State for the distribution of all commodities, on such a basis as will not interfere with regular com mercial purchase* of these agencies. More than three million pounds of surplus agi (cultural commodities have been supplied to those on South Caro lina relief rolls through the Agricul tural Adjustment Administration in less than a year up to September 19, 1936, according to the county agent. This distribution of food to the needy in this State was made in cooperation with the South Carolina Relief Admin istration, since October 1, 1935. The distribution, msde under the supei vision of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation, was possi ble as the result of agricultural sur plus - removal programs conducted over the Nation at the request of producers. The surpluses, which re lieved price-depressed markets of a burdensome oversupply, were distri buted in South Carolina to those who could not buy them in the regular channels of trade. Funds for the purchase of these surpluses were made available to the Secretary cf Agriculture by Congress, and are used for the encouragement of exports and the diversion of sur plus agricultural commodities out side the normal channels of trade and commerce. A wide range of surplus products, kju-luding fruits, vegetables, grains and cereals, eggs, dairy products, and cotton goods were bought from practi cally every major producing area of the country, and quantities distribut ed for relief use in all the States.
