Rehoboth News
in the home of Mrs. E. M. Morgan
on May 16th, with Mrs. Morgan and
Miss A. L. Morgan as Joint hostess
es. 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. It

vote in the election. Another law
passed at the last session of the
legislature makes it possible to se
cure poll tax receipts, another pre

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

lumbia, and officially will cast
their ballots to determine South
Carolina’s stand on prohibition re

defray the cost of the election. Ev
ery delegate to the convention at
Columbia will be paid his actual
expenses and. managers of the pre
cincts will be paid $1 each for their
services. The other usual election
expenses, such as the payment of
the expenses of messengers to car
ry the results in the various coun
ties to Columbia, also will be paid
from the $10,000.

Want Names Of School
Bus Drivers Who Had
No Accident This Year
CHARLOTTE, N. 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.
