Barnwell Men Honored. Two Barnwell men received signal honors in Columbia last week—Rep resentative Solomon Blatt on Tuesday when he was elected Speaker of the House in a spirited election, and B. P. Davies, editor of The People-Senti nel, the following Friday when he was elected president of the South Caro lina Press Association. Barnwell County men play a promi nent part in Columbia. The Hon. J. E. Harley is lieutenant-governor; Mr. Blatt is speaker of the house; Senator Edgar A. Brown is a leader in the State senate and Representative Win chester C. Smith in the house; G. Dun can Bellinger is a circuit judge; A1 fred A. Richardson is chief game war den; L. B. Owens is mayor of Colum bia; Judge Thos. M.

Davies is secretary of the legislative joint commitee on print ing; John I. Rice, Esq., is a prominent member of the Columbia bar, and Bob Brown, colored, who has been named a porter on the senate side, replied as follows to an inquiry last week by Miss Kate Woodward, who holds a position in the engrossing department, as to what he was doing in Columbia: 4 Tse in de senate, ma’am.” to. He had burned the celing and most of the roof as kindling: his wife had no axe. I got him to move in 45 days. I spent $85.00 on my newly acquired bargain and got a tenant He agreed to pay $5.00 per month. He wasn’t living there when I called for the past-due rent 40 days later. Up to this writing, I have had exactly 8 different tenants and have collected exactly nothing from 6 of them. I have had 6 plumbers, 3 car penters and 4 brick-layers make re pairs on this so-called “pick-up.” (It was I that got picked-up). I have been knocked down twice, had the dog sic-d on me 8 times, rocked once, and shot at 3 times, and cussed out 19 times. But I still own the house. I wish now I had let Slim Aull stay in college. How’s Your Heart? I am sure I have heart trouble. That is—I hurt in the neighborhood of my heart frequently. The doctors say it isn’t heart trouble; but it looks like I ought to know. It’s my heart, and it’s in me, and not in them. I know exactly where that organ is, and I don’t enjoy the tunes it has been play ing here of late. News From County Agent’s Office. r .By the end of the week practically all applications for grants will have been completed and sent in for pay ment, reports Harry Boylston, county agent. There will be about 1,300 of these applications sent in. Payments are beginning to come in and checks for $9,200 have been or are being de livered 1 . Other lots of checks are ex pected from day to day. On Wednesday of last week an out look meeting was held at the Court House for farm men and women. The building was full to overflowing, show ing the interest farmers have in se curing first hand information on out- When my heart gets to paining me in too many places; too low down, or too far to the west, I rush to the of fice of my home hysician. As usual, he’s not there. By the time he gets back from cutting men and women open and patching busted chists and broken boqes at the hospital, my mis eries have all disappeared. For the time, I quit thinking about passing on. But occasionally I am able to con tact my medical advisor. He does a little thumping on my anatomy, lis tens in at different spots, and tells me to button up my shirt. Then he insults me by asking me if that pork sausage and them 4 waffles I ate for breakfast tasted all right. He even intimates that if a man had good sense, he’d learn what to eat by the time he had become as old as I am. Of course, he doesn’t refer to me individually. stummick. I am thinking of hunting up a heart specialist who will tell me the. truth about myself. Maybe he wouldn’t, grin and ask me what I ate for dinner and 90 forth. THE RITZ THEATRE t BARNWELL, S. C. MONDAY-TUESDAY, JAN. 25-26 The Dionne Quins. —IN— “REUNION” MATINEE TUESDAY—4:00 P. M. But I ain’t no dummy. I can tell when my own heart hops, also when it skips, and furthermore—I know when it jumps. I have actually felt it backfire. I have known it to slow down to 68 and immediately bounce into high and make 98 in less than a minute. I thought once I felt it move about an inch from my left side over towards my right side. Having heart trouble isn’t a thing to be sneezed at. In fact, I am a- fraid to sneeze. That’s a big exer- look for crops and livestock. Visiting J tion. After I cough 3 times or climb speakers were O. M. Clark, F. W. Corley and Miss Portia Seabrook. County Agents Boylston and Bow ers report more interest in better seeds, fertilizers and practices by farmers than usual. This increased interest is caused by the farmers in 1936 having gotten more cash from their farms than in recent years and that prospects appear to be fairly good for 1937. How to Get Rich. It was a beautiful day in May, 1935, when my good old friend, I. O. Aull, called to see me with a face lit up with smiles. He had driven 26 miles to do me a favor. In order that he might be able to pay his son out of college, he borrowed $500 from me. As this was purely a matter of business, I. O.insisted that I take a 90-day mortgage on a small 5-room house he owned in my city. I didn’t object to him giving me security but took his word about the house worth $1,500. and rented for $15.00 per month, or 10 per cent, so he said, and so I swallowed, m , 11 t ih, . _ Friend Aull’s son got out of col lege all right; I saw him keeping time for the WPA the following July. Not having seen hair nor hide of the mort gage at the maturity of the note, I proceeded to foreclose it. The house in question became my property in October, 1935, just 14 months ago this coming next Tuesday at 4 oclock. I drove around to look at my ‘pickup’ on Sport St. just like he said. A badly be-whiskered man followed by a terribly becooted woman, accom panied by 9 horribly be-dirted young- nns came out to me in the front piazza. One of the children fell through a crack in the floor im mediately after exiting. The gentlemen claimed that he had paid any rent ond didn’t intend a set of stairs with over 6 steps, I al ways stop and count my pulse. It would be awful for one’s heart to stop right in the middle of a stairway. I notice my affliction more just after going to bed every night. That’s when she really creates jumps and jerks. I am surprised every morning when I wake up alive. I am also thankful This heart illness has been with me for years and years. Doctor or no doctor, it ain’t indigestion. That would take place further down in the IN MEMORIAM. In memory of my father and moth er, Mr. and Mrs. James D. Garrison, who departed this life January 27th, and 14th, 1936. The over-weary hands now lie upon their breasts; God, seeing what they needed, gave them rest. The truest, the bravest, the best Have laid down their work and, are taking a rest. But we know, that beyond the far azure blue They are keeping His trust, and working anew. For mindfc so in tune with the Infinite One, ’ * : j • m' ;.jk Still lives on, shining bright as the warm glowing sun, I feel that they are sending a mes sage today— It is this—“Come on. We have shown you the way.” - ~ The tired feet of such faithful ones, are lead by God’s own handb. In cool and crystal streams that, cleave the golden sands. The care-worn hearts, in tenderness, were borne away. Asleep in God’s own bosom, lie today. By a Daughter, Ivy G. Weathersbee. Jan. 20, 1987.
