Graded School Grounds.

When the Civic league presented
the graded school with fence for
the grounds, several years ago, it
was with the hope and understand
ing that this might encourage those
interested in the school to beautify
the grounds. 1t can be truly said
that no more forlorn desolate sur
roundings could be found than
around our public school building.
These hopes have never materializ-
ed, so once again the league is going
to see if there is any civic pride in
the hearts of the trustees, patrons
and teachers of this school, calling
on all to combine forces and make of
our school grounds place of which
we shall be proud. To this end, the
committee asks that every patron
shall give of his time or resources for
one days work around the school
building.
1t has been planned to plant beau
tiful trees in front with a winding
driveway and grass on each side anu
flower beds where convenient, max
ing a playground for the girls on va
cant lot recently acquired by the
school board. So let each man on
this day, send either mule and plow
with hand to break up the ground,
loads of compost, sacks of fertilizer,
hands to plant grass, or help of any
kind. Those having odds and ends
of lumber may donate these for
swings, seats, etc., while those who
wish to give the work of their hands
may come and convert this lumber
into apparatus for the playground.
Contributions of trees, grass, cannas,
saliva, coleus, etc., will be ac-
ceptable. Whatever is done must be
done quickly as spring is here, so be
ready to help very soon.
The league proposes to contribute
sanitary drinking fountains for the
school at an early date, as the men,
bers feel that the furnishing of pure
water to the children is of vital i'm
portance.- ce.-Contributed.

Sinlnls-Oliphant.

Barnwell, March 9.-Thursday
night the Church of the Holy Apos-
ties, in Barnwell, was the scene of a
pretty wedding when Miss May
Simms, daughter of Mrs. w. Gilmore
Simms, was united in marriage to
Mr.. A. D. Oliphant, of Columbia.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. S. Carey Beckwith, of St.
Philips church, Charleston, assisted
by the local rector, the Rev. A. E.
Etison. In spite of the inclement
weather a large number Of friends
of the young couple we're present.
Just before the ceremony Schubert s
Serenade was sung by Mrs. S. B.
Moseley. The marches and other
music were furnished by Miss R. b.
Gill, Miss Thelma Bailey, Mrs. Nor
man Anderson and Mr.. Eugene East
erling, who compose the Barnwel]
high school orchestra.
The wedding was followed by re-
ception at the home of the brides
mother. The presents were numer-
Gus and costly.

Prof. Guilds's Birthday Party.

Monday was a day of surprise tor
Professor Guilds. At two o'clock he
received word that there were some
men waiting in the lobby of Guilds
hall to see him. Arming himself
with the usual line that he hands out
to bill collectors, he advanced to
meet the supposed enemy. AS he
stepped into the hall who should
greet him but the local members of
the board of control. 1t was COM
plete surprise. 1t was Mr.. Guilds S
birthday and it was not overlooked.
After a few minutes Of delibera-
ton, Professor Duncan announced
that there was something of interest
in the dining room. All repaired to
table prepared for the occasion.
The table itself was thing of BEAU
ty. 1t was refreshingly decorated
with newly cut flowers from Prof.
Duncan's choice beds. Then the din
ner! 1t was served in eight courses
and each course was just little bet
ter than the one that preceded it..
The courses were as follows: Grape
fruit; tomato bouillon with brown
bread and crackers; chicken, ham,
rice, peas, potatoes, macaroni; fruit
salad; ice cream and cake; coffee;
mints.
After the dinner DR.. E. o. Watson
took charge of the ceremonies and
tried in vain to induce Prof. Guilds
to tell which Of his birthdays was be-
ing celebrated. 1t was finally con-
cluded that it was either his forty
first or eighty-frst. This satisfied
everybody except Prof. Guilds, but as
he wouldn't tell which it was, it had
to go.
The surprise was the result of a
conception of Mrs. Beach, and to say
that it was merely a success would
be expressing in terms far too mild
the joyous occasion. Mrs. Beach's
efforts always bring forth happy re-
Suits.
The following men were present:
DR.. E. o. Watson, H. c. Folk, ]. H.
Cope, A. W. knight, w. D. Rhoad,
DR.. l.. A. Hartzog, H. J. Brabham, H.
F. Bamberg, J. A. Klei9, W. c. Dun
can, R. T. Fairey, Paul Whitaker, w.
w. Daniel, and, of course, ]. c..
Guilds.

May Retain P. 0. Boxes.

Postmaster Knight states that a
number of persons have asked him
about retaining their postofice boxes
and also receiving mail by the viii
lage delivery service, which is to be
inaugurated April first. Mr.. knight
requests us to state that it will not
be necessary for any patron of the
postofice to give up their postoffice
boxes in order to secure mail by the
carrier. The boxes may be retained.
In this case, the carrier would col
lect the mail from the postofflce
boxes of such of his patrons as had
boxes and deliver to the residences
or places Of business. By this
method, parties desiring to do so
could get their mail from the post
Office whenever desired, as we'll as
having their mail delivered by car
rier. This would enable parties hold
ing boxes tc get their mails at night
as usual. However, this is entirely
optional with the patrons. Many
persons, though, like to get their
mail at night, as we'll as during the
day, and such persons can still avail
themselves of this convenience by re-
tanning their boxes at the postoftice.

About Box Rents.

The postmaster asks us to state
that the time for paying box rent at
the postofice will soon be here again,
and to remind the patrons OF the Of
fee that same should be paid on or
before the last day of March. Notices
of rent being due will be placed in
the boxes about the 21st of March,
and if the patrons of the postottice
would adopt the plan of paying the
box rent Immediately on receipt OF
the notices, it would avoid all rush
and confusion, and there would
never be the necessity of locking the
boxes for non-payment.
The postmaster wishes it distinct
ly understood that the box rents do
not belong to him, but all go to the
postoffice department. His instruc-
tions are under no circumstances to
allow boxes to remain open after the
last day of the quarter, unless paid
for by the patron, and he has no dis
cretion in the matter but to follow
instructions and close all boxes which
are not paid for. In case the boxes
are closed, such mail is then placed
in the general delivery. It is great
deal of trouble to close the boxes,
and causes much delay in distribut-
ing mails on the morning of the
first.
If an inspector were to drop in
on the morning of the first after tho
close of the quarter, he would check
all boxes not closed, and report the
lpostofice short to the amount of all
not paid for. Box holders may refer
to section 34S, printed in brief on
the back of receipts, and note what
the regulation is in regard to box
rents.
On the first of January, notwith-
standing the previous notice given to
all box holders, about ninety boxes
had to be closed for non-payment.
Most of these had just neglected to
attend to the matter. The postmas-
ter states that, for the convenience
of anyone desiring to pay rent when
the windows are closed, If they Will
knock on the window, some one OF
the force will be glad to accommo-
date the patrons by responding and
receiving the payment, or, if more
convenient, they may put the money,
with the notice, ir an envelope and
drop in the letter box, without post
age, or they may place same in their
postoffice box, and the matter Will De
attended to promptly.

Civic League Meeting.

The Civic league met with Mrs. c.
J. S. Brooker, Friday, March 9th, the
director, Mrs. w. P! Jones, in the
chair. She made stirring appeal
to the ladies to have part in help
ing to make our town town which
we can be proud of and one in which
We will not be afraid to have our
children grow up.
We cannot feel safe along that line
until the amusements are clean and
wholesome and the town from an
aesthetic view, all that we can make
it.
To accomplish that it takes plan
ming and work and everybody ready
and willing to do his or her part.
The town is full of half grown
boys and girls-the men and women
of the morrow-and it behooves us
to see that the influences brought to
bear upon them are all that they
should be-
The different committees are all
very much alive and at work.
Now is the time for spring clean
ings- first flies and mosquitoes
have made their appearance.
The following cleanup decalogue,
gotten out by the board of trade Of
Hoboken in connection with last
years campaign, is very appropriate
and we'll worth remembering at all
times:
1st. Remember thy garbage can
to keep it covered.
End. Thou shalt cut the weeds in
thy vacant lot lest it will become a
hiding place for old tin cans.
3rd. Thou shalt bear witness
against thy neighbor's rubbish heap.
4th. Thou shalt clean out the
habitation of thy horse.
5th. Thou shalt prevent the
breeding of the fly that thy children
unto the third and fourth generations
need not swat him.
9Th. Remember thy back yard
and alley to keep them clean. Six
days shalt thou labor-if yet the
task is not accomplished thou couldst
do worse and continue on the sew
enth.
7th. Thou shalt covet the air and
sunshine.
9Th. Look not upon the milk
when it comes from an unclean dairy.
9th. Remember thy cleanup day
and keep it holy.
10th. If thou dost ,hearken unto
these things, to do them thou shalt
live long in the land and the clean
up spirit shall last three hundred
and sixty-five days in the year.
After the business for the after
noon was disposed of, the hostess
served refreshments.
The next meeting will be held with
Mrs. Frank Bamberg on Tuesday,
April 3rd.

Re-seeding Winter-killed Oats.

The following from the Yorkville
Enquirer will be of interest to the
farmer readers of The Herald whose
winter oats were killed by the re-
cent cold wave:
The extreme cold weather in the
Southern States during the first two
weeks in February caused much win
ter-killing of fall-sown oats. The
yield from fall-sown oats is so much
better than from spring-sown oats,
however, that it will not be profitable
to re-sow to spring oats unless much
more than half the fall-sown oats
were winter-killed, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture. It is best to delay re-seeding
a few days until it can be determined
definitely whether or not there is a
sufficient stand to justify leaving the
crop to mature. Fields where it is
certain that this crop was destroyed
by cold may now be sown to spring
oats with fair prospects for profitable
yields if the seeding is done in early
March. Only the most fertile land
should be sown to oats in the spring,
as this crop will not yield we'll from
spring seeding on poor land.
The best varieties to SOW at this
time are Burt, Fulgum, Red Rust
proof, and Appler. The land should
not be plowed, but the surface should
be loosened by disking or thorough
narrowing and tie seed drilled in.
If grain drill is not available the
seed may be sown broadcast and COW
cred by disking and narrowing. The
best rate of seeding is about BUSH
els of good seed to the acre.
