The Boulware block of buildings on the north side of Main Street is rapid ly nearing completion and promise to be among the handsomest in this section of the State. When Main Street was widened several weeks ago, the old store fron ts were torn away and are being re placed with ultra-modern fronts of glass, tile and metal, the material for which is expected this week. The new brickwork also adds much to the looks of the buildings. New ffloors have been laid, the walls have been freshly plastered and the metal ceilings have been painted white. An innovation in this section is the fact that the stores have been insulat ed) against both heat and cold, which will add greatly to the comfort of customers in summer and winter. The new block of buildings is com posed of two stores, one of which is dbuhle the size of the other and can easily be converted into two separate establishments at any time. The lar ger of the stores will have two en trances, with large plate glass show windows on each side. Metal trim and black tile will lend a metropoli tan appearance to the fronts. It is understood that at least four prospective tennants are negotiating for the large store, but no contract had been signed early this week. The property id owned by Judge Thos. M. Boulware, of this city. Planning and Terracing Program Blackville, Feb. 15.—Blackville will be host to Class B. District 19 basket ball teams in a tournament here Feb ruary 19th and 20th.

Simon. During the business session, which was presided over by the president, Miss Ruth Hoffman, of Blackville, it was decided that the unit make a do nation of $5 to aid in the relief of the flood sufferers. After the song, “America, the Beau tiful,” Mrs. A. S. Blanchard, who had charge of the program, made a talk on “Americanism” and the “flag.” She stressed the importance of Ameri canism in the educational program of the nation, and the significance and proper use of the flag. Mrs. Blanchard then presented J. C. Parker, member of the local Amercian Legion Post, who made a talk on “Legislation.” He outlined the principles of universal service—in time of war equal service for all, special profits for none— which has been before congress for years and for the enactment of which the Legion and Auxiliary have been urging ever since the World War. After the meeting had been closed with the usual formalities, the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Ackerman, served delicious refreshments.

The locals have won five and lost three games with teams in this section and will open the tourney against a team which they have previously beaten' twice. The boys, who are playing their first year of the cage sport, have yet to win a game but they have shown marked improvement each week, and, according to Coach Hewey, should give a good account of themselves in the tournament, provided their play improves as it has for the past cou ple of weeks. , The girls’ record to date is as fol lows: Barnwell 13; Williston 23. Barnwell 28; Williston 10. Barnwell 14; Dunbarton 17. Barnwell 13; Dunbarton 8. Barnwell 22; Denmark 19. Barnwell 23; Denmark 22. Barnwell 11; St. Matthews 27. Barnwell 22; Springfield 17.

C., Feb. 12.—A joint resolution authorizing the distribution of 1,000,000 bales of non-tenderable grades of cotton to the American Red Cross and other relief organizations for use in flooded areas and elsewhere in the United States has been intro duced in the House by Representa tives H. P. Fulmer, member of the House Agriculture Steering Commit tee. The resolution provides that the cotton will be purchased from the government’s 12c loan cotton holdings and on the open domestic market. It is further -provided! that 900,000 bales of the staple wll be manufactured in to, or exchanged, for clothing, wear ing apparel, bedding and other arti cles of clothing. One hundred thousand bales would be used by the secretary of agricul ture for the manufacture of cotton bagging, to be sold to the cotton farm ers of the country on a* competitive basis with jute. The resolution is in line with a bill introduced 1 , and passed, by Represen tative Fulmer some years ago, au thorizing the purchase of 500,000 bales of cotton for the Red Cross. Mr. Fulmer states on January 1st we had on hand in round numbers 10,- 000,000 bales of cotton, including 62,- 000 bales of Egyptian and other for eign cotton. In this enormous carry over we have over 1,000,000 bales of low grade untenderable cotton. With a prospective crop of 16,000,000 bales this year, we would be saving money f^jtRRton farmers as well as the government if we would use at this time 800,000 bales for relief in the flood and drought areas and else where in the United States where re lief is needed, and at least 200,000 bales' to be manufacteured into cotton bag ging and cotton twine to take the place of jute bagging for covering cotton, and jute twine, a product o ! India, that is now being used to tie the mails of the United States. Big Still Captured. State Constable Hucklehuck, Deputy Sheriff Gilmore S. Harley and C. S. Youngblood, working out of Sheriff J. B. Morris’ office, captured a com plete 250 gallon capacity copper still on Friday afternoon of last week. The raiding officers found the still located on the Edisto River, seven miles a- hove Blackville, near the Bamberg County line. No one was at the still at the time of the raid and no arrests have been made. Besides the still 2,000 gallons of mash, 10 gallons of unstamped liquor, eight 10-gallon kegs, one-half gallon of coloring, one slingshot, unloaded, 150 pounds of sugar, and several other articles useful in the making of illicit moonsihne were confiscated. The still was destroyed by the raid ing officers and the other implements were brought to the Sheriff’s office in Barnwell. The same officers discovered 60 gal lons of bootleg liquor about one-half mile from the place where the still was found on the previous day. . Mayor C. G. Fuller announced here last week that final arrangement* had >een completed with Manager BUI tfcCrory, of the Allentown, Pa., haae- mII club in the New York-Pennsyl- vania League, for his club to train in Barnwell this spring. Manager McCrory stated in a let ter to Mayor Fuller last week that he squad of about 25 men would ar rive in Barnwell on April 1st and spend about 15 or 20 days here. The Allentown club is an independently owned franchise. This will be the second ball club to train in Barnwell, Albany, N. Y. t of the International League having train ed here several years ago. McCrory was at that time manager of the Al bany club and he was so favorbly im pressed with Brawell as a training site that he is returning here this year with his new team. Weather conditions should be ideal as the squad does not arrive until the 1st of April. Fuller Park will be pat in excellent playing shape for the visitors and it is hoped that their stay here will be a pleasant one. No announcement has been made as to exhibition games, however, it is believed that a number of them will be scheduled with nearby teama and possibly major league ball dabe will be brought to Barnwell as was the case when Albany played the Boston National League club here. 4-H Leaden Meet. -The regular monthly meeting of the 4-H Local Leaden Club was held in the home agent’s office in the Agricul tural building Saturday, Feb. 13th. Miss Seabrook, extension home man agement specialist, led the discussion for ths month on the topic “Ironing Made Easy”, and emphasised some of the facton which will help to sim plify the hot tedioas job of ironing. The points stressed wen selection of easily ironed fabrics, styles and fin ishes; careful removal of clothes from Ife Ttae; correct dampening; wait ar ranged and adjusted equipment end elimination of unnecessary move ments. Members were interested in the ex hibit consisting of an up-to-date iron ing board and cover constructed from odds and ends about the house, and the costless but priceless gadgets for making the job easy. One leader smiled with great satisfaction when she learned that instead of its being a reflection upon her reputation as an efficient housewife to sit down while ironing it was a sign of good intelli gence. Another member remarked, “We need two high stools in our kitchen and I am going to get them.** Clubs represented were:—Galilee, Hercules, Reedy Branch, Joyce Branch and Hilda. Members attending were Reba Grubbs, Eloise Dyches, Carrie Grace Grubbs, Margaret Kneece, Mil dred Kneece, Lucille Croft, Mamie Still, Jennie Gignilliat Honor Roll for Galilee SchooL Mrs. Charlie Brown, Jr., teacher, announces the honor roll of the Gali lee school for the past month as fol lows: First grade—Oneal Croft, Imogene Hartzog and Patricia Anne Black.

In the opener, the local girls forged ahead in the first quarter, and, with Elizabeth Fletcher, stellar home town forward, showing the way with nine tallies, never relinquished that lead. The locals were in complete charge of the game and not at any time did the invaders seriously threaten. Fletcher was high point scorer for both teams.
