Schuh stated this week that a middle-aged man, most polite, well dressed and well behaved, has apparently been cir culating a rumor to the effect that he has a contract to paint the buildings at the local CCC Camp. Captain Schuh states that this is not the case and that there has been no such contract awarded. The matter was called to the attention of the commanding of ficer of the Barnwell outfit when a local man reported to him ready to go to work. The man stated that he had been hired by the pseudo-contract holder to help him in the work. Upon investigation, the Captain found that several local negroes had been approached by the man and offered similar jobs. A further check revealed that he had also gone to several local merchants, and, while not di rectly asking for credit, he fiad stated that he had the contract and might do business with them provided credit could be arranged. The last report of the man was that he was headed for Allendale, whether to continue his present tale in an effort to gain credit and favors is not known, but Captain Schuh states definitely that no such contract has been awarded and that any man making such state ments is misrepresenting the truth. The local captain made the investi gation in the hopes of protecting any merchants who might be so approached. Girls’ Basketball Team.

WALTER CONNELLY, RALPH BELLAMY —IN— THE SATURDAY EVENING POST STORY ‘Lets Get Married’ Beautifying Camp Grounds. The candidates for the girls’ bas ket ball team at the local high school have been called out for the first practice of the year. The coaching will again be handled this year by Miss Margaret Ellis, who re-organized the girls’ team here a couple of years ago after a lapse of some time in the play ing of the sport at the local school. Miss Ellis believes that her squad this year will be one of the largest and most experienced groups that she has had since she started the work. Last year the team showed up well, winning a large number of its games before the district tourn ament when, due to the illness of some of the local players, they >yere eliminated in the first round. With the sport gaining in popu larity each year and with a hand ful of experienced players to form the nucleus of her club, Miss Ellis is confident that the outfit will click. It is too early in the prac tice season to give out a schedule but it is understood that play will begin as early as possible. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to express our sincere thanks for the many kindnesses, expressions of sympathy and beau tiful floral offerings from our friends and relatives during the recent death of our father, J. C. Dyches. CHILDREN. Work on the beautification of the CCC Camp grounds is going for ward rapidly according to Captain Leon B. Schuh, commanding offi cer of the local camp. The camp is located some three miles west of Barnwell on the Bamwell-Augusta highway in a natural setting of pines which is most attractive. The camp area, between the buildings and the highway, has been broken up and Italian rye has been sown there. This will give a most pleasing appearance to the passing motorist or to one who comes out on business or an inspection tour. An effort is also being made to secure and trans plant a number of wild, native shrubs to this area also. If these are secured they will bee placed at strategical points in an effort to enhance the beauty of the camp. Captain Schuh and his corps of officers extend a cordial invitation to all citizens in this section to come and pay a visit to the camp. Any members of the staff will be glad to escort visitors on an in spection of the entire camp at any time. Owens-Harden. The many Barnwell County friends of Miss Eva Owens of Dunbarton, and Capt.
