THURSDAY, NOV. 25. 1937. Our Natural Resourcea. No doubt many readers of The People-Sentinel were agreeably sur- nrised at the figures cited in a fea ture story in our last week's issue, telling of the va ue of our forest products. Not many of us realized, perhaps, that the gross annual in come from this source in Barnwell County totals approximately a mil lion and a quarter dollars. With this steady source of in come provided for us by benevolent Mother Nature, it does seem that we would assist her in every way that we can in helping to conserve <>ur forests. More than half of Barnwell County’s area is in tim ber and, if properly protected from the ravages of fire, will continue to provide a gross income that rivals that received from King Cotton. The Barnwell County Protective Association, headed by County Ran ger R. R. Moore, stands ready to assist landowners in protecting their valuable timber lands. But he needs their cooperation. We must get away from the old time careless habit of starting woods fires indiscriminate y. We must go even further in learning modern methods of protecting and conser ving our wooes and forests. Mr. Moore told a representative of this paper that five acres of pine timber, properly protected and, what’s mere, properly cut, are suf ficient to pay taxes on the average farm and leave the owner a tidy sum each year. If you haven’t any timber on your land, Mr. Farmer, why not plan now to set out a faw acres in seed ing pines? INTERESTING PERSONAL NOTES FROM DUNBARTON Dunbarton, Nov. 22.—Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

Harley, Clint Youngblood and Henry Bodiford, captured a 250-ga'.lon copper still on the Edisto River, back of the old Badham Lumber Company’s plant, in the northern part of Barn well County on Saturday morning.

A hoe, a trowel and sev oral other minor articles were foum at the scene of the raid and seizet by the raiding officers. Sheriff Morris stated that there were no arrests but that he was working on clues which may later result in the arrest of a person, or persons connected with the still He stated that the officers hat watched the still all Friday night and for a good part of Saturday in the hope that one of the operators would show up but that there never was any evidence of any one ap proaching the still. Progress Is Made. The Adult Educational workers in Barnwell County, who are head ed by Mrs. Margaret S. Hogg, have made quite a bit of progress during the fall months. The workers took a course in the summer school of Furman University and were able to pick up a number of ideas that have brought excellent results. The enrollment this year is larger than that of last year and, according to Mrs. Hogg and her teachers, the interest of the adult students seems to be higher. These classes, which are made up largely of illiterate people, have good at tendance and produce some good work during the term. Most of the classes are held at night as the students are employed during the day. Besides the regular study courses various projects are taken up from time to time and these provide an outside interest as well as furnish a source of education. A good many discoveries of talent have been made by the workers also, several sketch painters having been found as well as others who are gifted in some particular manner. Washington, D. Cj., Nov. 21.— Rear Admiral and Mrs. Norman M. Smith, of Williston, the former to retire from the naval service De cember 1st, were guests last even ing at a dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. John L.

A meeting of the Barnwell Bap tist Ministers Association was held in Blackville on Monday of last week, with the Rev. P. D. Walker, pastor of the Blackville Baptist Church, acting as host. During the business session sev eral matters of interest to the mini sters were taken up and discussed. After the business session the ministers enjoyed a number of short talks made by members of their organization. A delicious lunch was served the ministers at the Blackville Baptist Church with the ladies of the church serving the lunch. The officers of this organization include the Rev. J. H. Strong, pas tor of the Lodge Baptist Church, president; the Rev. James P. West- berry,-pastor of the Bamberg Bap tist Church, vice-president, and the Rev. J. A.

Miss Ann Brown, president of the or ganization, was in charge of the business session during which time plans were made for the social the members are sponsoring. The fol- owing committee was appointed to collect the dues from the mem- )ers for the social and to supervise in general the plans for the affair: iuddy Sextcn, Billie Bronson, Miss Sant Frances Brodic and Wingard Carter. The meeting was closed with the reading of the minutes from the previous session and the induction if six new members into the club. George R. Evans Injured. George R. Evans, instructor of agriculture, had the misfortune to lose a portion of one finger on his right hand and have two of the re maining three fingers, as well as his thumb, rather severely cut on Saturday morning. Mr. Evans and T. M. Woods, in structor of manual arts, were doing some werk in tbe local high school woodshop when the formdt allowed his right hand to become entangled in some way in an edging machine. The machine cut off his second fin ger at the joint and did considera ble damage to every finger on the hand except the index finger. While it is believed that the local man will retain the remaining fin gers on his hand, it was a most painful injury and Mr. Evans has the sympathy of his many friends from over the County and their best wishes -for a speedy recovery. Tillman Memorial Fund. Mrs. C. II. Mathis of Blackville, who was recently appointed on the committee to secure contributions to the Tillman Memorial Fund and whose quota for Blackville was $40,00 of the $195.90, which is Barnwell County’s portion of this fund, has more than raised her quota and mailed in her check for $40.35, which represents the fol lowing contributions in and near the Town of Blackville: B.

The students of the Barnwell high schcol have this year formed a number of clubs so that they may use them both for social activities and for a better understanding of their courses. V It is believed by the school au thorities and faculty members, as well as by the student leaders, that these clubs will give the students more interest in their work. It provides a chance for social life as well ss giving the students con siderable help by round table dis cussions of the work done. Among the clubs which are func tioning at the school are the Beta Club, the Home Economics Club, the Block “B” Club, the Library Club, and several others. It is pos sible that even more clubs will be formed during the remainder of the school year. Columbia Bees Win. 't The regular schedule for th’e 1937 Barnwell high school foot ball team was brought to a close her Thurs day afternoon when the Columbia B team defeated the local gridders by a 6 to 0 count. The game, which was originally scheduled for Fri day was moved up to Thursday af ternoon by mutual consent of the two teams. The winning tally was made on a thirty yard pass in the second quarter which a Columbia boy caught and ran five yards for the score. The first quarter saw Co lumbia on the offensive and in Barnwell territory most of the time but the scoring play didn’t come until the second quarter. Co lumbia drove to Barnwell’s 10-yard stripe in the initial quarter but fumbled on the 8-yard line and Barnwell recovered. The third quarter play was about even but in the last stanza the Barnwell lads put on their strongest offensive display and seriously threatened to score on one or two occasions. The high light of Barnwell’s last quarter threats was the passcatch- ing of Richardson, local end, who caught two long passes to bring the ball down in the opponents ter ritory, only to have the threat end ed by the defensive play of the B’s. For Barnwell, Still in the backfield, and the two ends, Richardson and Halford and Grubbs in the line, were the stars, both on offense and defense. For the Columbia boys the entire team played good ball. Blackville Claims Title Blackville, Nov. 23.—Blackville won the championship of Barnwell County by defeating Williston this afternoon by a score of 20 to 0, on the local field. Blackville fairly outplayed Wil liston, the visitors threatening to score only once. Blackville’s first touchdown came in the second quarter when M. Still tossed a pass to Delk, who raced 30 yards for a touchdown. Blackville scored again in the third quarter on a consistent drive, Nevils carrying the ball over. Ex tra point, pass M. Still to Robert Buist. Third and last tochdown made in the fourth quarter on a double reverse lateral, Baxley to Delk, who ran for GO yards. Jowers crashed the line ior the extra point. Defensive work of Bodiford and Quattlebaum, Blackville linemen, was outstanding. Delk gave a pretty exhibition of broken field running and also helped with Nevils in smashing line drives. For Williston, Rogers and Flen- niken were threats with the ball while the defensive work of Parker was a credit to his team. Black ville’s basis of claim for the cham pionship is by defeating Williston 20 points while Barnwell defeated Williston by one point scored after touchdown. 1 THE RITZ THEATRE BARNWELL, 8. C. *r.
