After scripture reading and prayer by the president, the meet ing was turned over to Mrs. Stall- worth, who talked on “live at home” programme, making plain many ways of saving and helping one another in many ways, by “Bartering,” an old word with a new meaning. This is not exactly borrowing and returning, but ex changing something one has for something they need. Some lady may be gifted in some special kind of work; she may help a neighbor in exchange for something she may excel her in, just a neighborly way of helping along in this time of de pression. At the close of the meeting the hostess served iced Rosemary tea, and cake, bringing\into use the re viving of the old time herb gardens that, are coming into popularity.

Another law passed at the last session of the legislature makes it possible to se cure poll tax receipts, another pre requisite to voting, without pay ment also of other property taxes, as has been required previously by some county treasurers. The first step in preparation for the election will take place when the legislative delegations, includ ing house members and senators, meet in every county of the state and select from their respective counties a qualified elector who favors ratifying the amendment to repeal the eighteenth amendment and also a qualified elector who is opposed. Identical ballots will be voted in every one of the forty-six counties in the state. In one column on tne ballot, properly designated, will be the list of the forty-six persons favoring repeal, and opposite it will be the list of the forty-six persons against repeal. The voter must vote for forty-six persons, but if he wishes, he may split tickets, voting for some favoring repeal and some opposed to it. If he wishes, he also may write on the ticket the name of any other qualified elector for whom he desires to vote, but his ballot to be legal, must bear the name of exactly forty-six persons The tabulation of the vote will be on a state-wide basis, with the forty-six persons receiving the highest number of votes in the en tire state being declared elected. The forty-six persons elected will be issued certificates of election by the secretary of state, after the state board of election canvassers has declared officially the result. Those holding certificates will meet at noon, December 4, 1933, in Co lumbia, and officially will cast their ballots to determine South Carolina’s stand on prohibition re peal, which shall be forwarded to the secretary of state of the Unit ed States.

C., May 27.— County school superintendents of North and South Carolina have been asked to furnish the Carolina Motor club with the names of all drivers, of school buses who oper ated their vehicles during the scholastic year without accident. A special safety award will be presented to these no accident bus drivers, along with a booklet incor porated safe driving principles, rules of the road and instructions that will insure mechanical safety of the bus. ' It~is the belief of the safety and accident prevention department of the Carolina Motor club that this plan of recognizing school bus driv er^ who have not had an accident will be a factor of safety inspiration among the army of people in the Carolinas who daily hold in their hands the lives of thousands of children. The club realizes the success of the consolidated school system rests upon successful and. safe transpor tation. In order to assure safe transportation at all times it is es sential that drivers of school buses be supplied with necessary infor mation which will build the idea of safety into the operation of each bus. This plan has been submitted to all superintendents of county schools and they are co-operating to the fullest extent. The superin tendents have been asked to furn ish the name, address and age of drivers who have operated without accident and the type and model of the bus and the number of miles the bus is operated each day.
