Thursday, June 5, 1930 Established June 5, 1902 Number 1 The commencement exercises of the McCormick High School for the 1929-30 session, which began Friday night, May 30, with the annual class play, ended Monday night, June 2, with the awarding of diplomas to the thirty-five members of th? graduating class. Every part of each programme was well planned and executed. Sunday morning, Rev. P. L. Orier, pastor of the A. R. P. Church at Greenwood, preached the bac calaureate sermon to the membars of the class. He told them that this was neither the end nor the beginning of one thing, but mere ly the continuation of one great thing—life. On Monday morning, June 2, the class day programme r was carried out. At this time various members of the clas^ had a chance to speak their thoughts. One amusing part of the programme was the cla^s troubles. Each member of the Cjlass deposited, in a coffin anything which had been particularly annoying during the year. * Monday night, June 2;, the final exercises were held. At this time Rev. J. W. Jackson, pastor Of the Presbyterian Church at Green wood delivered the annual address to the members of the graduating class. His theme was the golden mean; keep always to the middle of the road.

Mauldin Passes Away Furey’s Ferry Bridge Will Open Saturday PLANS MADE FOR FORMAL OPENING WHICH WILL BE AT TENDED BY OFFICIALS F$OM THE TWO STATES Boll Weevil Active In Central And Eastern Counties The news of the death of Mr. G. S. Mauldin, which occurred at his i home in Mt. Carmel on Tuesday night, May 27th, at about 11:30 o'clock, came as a shock and grief to his many friends and loved ones over the state. Mr. Mauldin seemed in his us ual health on Tuesday and Tues day night, but just after retiring he complained of a pain and rapid ly grew worse until the end came. Mr. Mauldin was bom and rear ed near Lowndesville. In 1893 he married Miss Myrtle Mauldin of Mt. Carmel, and after five years they moved near Mt. Carmel and this has been his home. The dear Lord has been gracious to him, for he was about 78 years old. He was an honorable, up right Christian gentleman with many fine traits of character. He was always ready to uphold the right thing. In early life he united with the Methodist Church and has always been true to his church and his God. The funeral service was con ducted at the home by Rev. R. C. Boulware of Calhoun Falls, as- sited by Rev. E. F. Gettys and Rev. Leon T.

C., May 29, 1930. —: x '; Maiiy Grade Cross-, ings Accidents 1929 In 1929 there were 5,975 ac cidents at grade crossings in which 2485 persons were killed and 6804 were injured. In 24 per cent of the accidents the automobiles actual ly ran into the sides of the trains. Rather striking evidence of the failure of the motorists to realize that at grade crossings ‘‘Eternal Vigilance is the p^rice of Safety.” On June 1. the railroads launch ed their 1930 Careful Crossing Campaign. The newspapers of the Southeast have taken active and immensely helpful parts in similar campaigns in the past. X , * Poultry Short Course At Clemson On June 23-28 CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 2.— Boll weevil infestation counts made in eight counties through the cen tral and eastern part of the state show that weevils are now quite active in many places, says Direc tor H. W. Barre of the South Caro lina Experiment Station. The aver age infestation for the farms ex amined is 139 weevils per acre compared with 395 per acre for the same period last year. Tlie number of weevils per acre on individual farms, however, varies greatly. On one Colleton county farm there were 675 weevils per acre, on one Calhoun farm were 466 weevils per acre, on one Dar lington farm were 950 weevils per acre. Throughout the eastern part of the state cotton is beginning to fruit rapidly, and Prof. Barre urges that if early applications of poison have not already been made they should be made immediately.

Turner, of the Richmon: county commission. John R. Phillips and C. E. lone* have already accepted the invita tions to attend. The new bridge will expedit traffic from the upper section o South and North Carolina, from Tennessee and other states nortl ard northeast of Georgia. It construction began on Decembe 24, 1927. A foil gate is erected or the Carolina side and win remain there until interest on McCormick county bonds ..can be collected. It was learned yesterday that the temporary bridge over the Savan nah river at Sand Bar ferry will be opened either Friday or Saturday. County forces are now putting in a seven-foot fill at the end of the temporary structure and are shap ing up the approach. The highway department of Georgia is repair- CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 4.— A poultry short course will be held at Clemson College, June 23-28 at which competent poultry .special ists will lecture and conduct dis cussions and demonstrations that will give those attending an excel lent opportunity to get better ac quainted with modem practices of poultry management. In urging poultry raisers to at tend the course, the poultry spec ialists here call attention to the fact that South Carolina imports a large part of the eggs* used in the state. Census figures show only about one-third as many eggs per person are produced in South Car olina as for the average of the United States. This shortage of eggs should be supplied by local farmers and poultrymen with pro fit to themselves and at the same time provide a better product for local consumer.
