TH* BABTWHX t BOTLB-«XXTINKL. •AKNWVLl* •DCTV CABOUH A BlarkTille vt. Barnwell. The Barnwell hish school foot 'tMdl team will be host to the Black- villa high eleven at 3:30 o’clock Friday afternoon at Fuller Park. Both teams have compiled credit able records during the season, with Hlackville having made the strong est showing. Barnwell played two games last week, losing a return engagement te the Olar high team by the identi cal score that they had won by weeks ago, 7 to 0. In the game played in Bamberg VWday night, Barnwell pulled a thriller out of the Are in the last three minutes of play by a score SO to 19. Bamberg ran up three toachdowns in the first half, but ell came back strong in the half to score that many and by the margin of two conver- of extra points to Bamberg’s Graniterille fumbled and lost the ball several times during the first quarter. In the second quarter, good run ning by Rogers and good pass work brought the ball to the 12-yard line, where Fleniken went over the line for the second touchdown. Neither team scored nor made any specta cular plays in the third quarter. Williston-Elko received several penalties in the last quarter and al lowed Graniteville to score two touchdowns and an extra point to tie the game. Features of the last quarter were long dashes by Gran iteville and a 37-yard pass. The Williston-Elko boys will play Blackville on the'Blackville field Friday of this week. The Black- ville team is unusually strong. A TYPICAL DAY WITH ATTENDANCE TEACHER By MRS. EULALLIA T. PARKER, The locSil lads are primed for the Blackville game and expect to play their best game of the season Fri- sfaqr afternoon. The natural, friend ly rivalry between the two clubs is high and former games and sea- aoa's records can be thrown in the acrapbasket when they hook up. On a comparative score basis, Blackville has an edge having de feated Allendale high by a 12 to 7 coant while Barnwell dropped a de cision to the same club earlier in the season. According to latest reports Blackville has dropped only a»ae game and that to the district champions, St. Matthews, by about the same score that the Saints de feated Barnwell. Tie at Williston. In a fast moving and exciting football game played on the Willis- ton-Elko field last Thursday night, Oraniteville tied the home boys 13 to 13. On the third play of the game Scott ran 76 yards with the ball to make the first touchdown and the extra point was made by John- Blackville, 12; Allendale, 7. Blackville, Nov. 5.—Blackville defeated Allendale by a score of 12 to 7 on the local field today in one of the best football games ever played in this section. The two teams were evenly matched in weight and speed. Allendale had the better of the first half and made its lone touch down on a pass. Blackville came back in the second half, trailing 7 to 0, to push over two touchdowns. In the third quarter, on a sus tained drive down the field with Delk and Morris featuring, Delk crashed over for the touchdown. In the fourth quarter Blackville again drove down the field for its final and winning touchdown, Jo- wers, Delk and Morris featuring this .dfeve. The touchdown was made on a beautifully executed pass, Delk to M. Still. Both lines played outstanding football throughout, with Farmer the outstanding offensive man for Allendale. Legionnaires Meet. The members of the Richardson- Walsh Post, local organization of the American Legion, held their regular meeting in the Barnwell County Court House on Tuesday evening. After several matters of importance to the members had been taken up and passed on, a de lightful supper was served those present. I wonder how many people in our county know what the duties of the county attendance teacher are? Her task is that of getting into school those children between the ages of six and sixteen years who, either because of impoverished cir cumstances in the home, or through lack of cooperation on the part of parents, were not already attend ing school. In order that the people of my Attendance Teacher. In still \ county may know just what con^ ditions are met on my daily trips, and which conditions we are trying to correct, I would like to tell you of some of my experiefoces on a typical day. Leaving home at 8:30 o'clock in the morning, I went by my office to collect a list of families to in vestigate. In the first home I visited I found three children. The mother in this home was a widow, in poor health and could not afford to send her children to school because she could not provide sufficient cloth ing for them. After a thorough investigation, the necessary steps were taken to provide clothing and these children were placed in school at once. In another home I found six children, some in school but the older ones were kept at home to harvest the meagrre crop. After the matter was explained to the mother she was eager to cooperate when she found that she was re tarding these older children in their school work and embarrassing them by having them remain in lower grades with small children. another home I found that the children were out of school because they had not “sold their cotton” and, upon investigation, found that their yield would only be one bale of cotton. In a recent appeal to the people of my town for out grown garments, quite a number of big hearted people had given me nice coats and other wear ing apparel which I passed on to this and other families in like cir cumstanced. In one home I found an invalid girl whose dress was patched and darned until no more places remained for patches. When I told her that I could give her a coat and dress from donated cloth ing her face beamed and my whole day seemed so worthwhile when I look back and remember the imile of that invalid child. In the local Red Cross Chapter I have found wonderful assistance in my work. This chapter is hav ing clothing made now by the NYA girls in Bfcrnwell to be given throughout the county to both colored and white children who are unable to attend school for lack of clothing and where aid has not been given through other agencies. Each case is thoroughly investiga ted, and a report given before clothing is furnished in each and every case. The task is great, but with co operation we can, in a large mea sure, correct the situation which has caused our state to be ranked among the leaders in illiteracy and enable all children to take advan tage of this opportunity to gain an education. Library. A standardised libarary has been added to the equipment of the Barnwell high school plant this year, for the first time in the his tory of the school giving the stu dents an opportunity to have such a complete department in connec tion with their work. In addition, a part-time librarian has also been added to help the students in the selection of their reading matter and to offer any aid and assistance possible. For many years Barnwell has had a library, but it was inade quately equipped and mainly for use as a v parallel library. Many new hooks were added this year, not only books of fiction, but books that are of interest and use to the students in the work they are tak ing in the class rooms. Records show that as high as 40 books have gone out in one day, while the lowest day on record shows 15. This is a good indica tion of the interest shown by the students in their new equipment and the local authorities believe that the interest will climb consid erably as the pupils realize more the benefits offered them. By the end of the school year it should be one of the most popular depart ments in the school. Block “B” Club Meets.
