NOVEMBER 20. 1913 NO. t2 ■ BARNWELL COUNTY ^ FAIR OPENED TUESDAY u v THIRD WEEK JURORS WERE DRAWN MONDAY \ Addr«M Made by E. W. Dabbe Fall Term of Court of General Sessions A BIG BUDGET OF UVE NEWS FROM WILLISTON FUND NOT DIVERTED, INSINUATIONS FALSE —ExbCbits Beggar Description. “Auspiciously” is one of the most over-worked words in the English ttngu&ge, but it is the only one that Accurately describes the opening of the third annual Barnwell County Fair. So far the~meeting has been blessed with ideal autumn weather, no cloud appearing to mar the pleasure of the crowds with a threat of rain. The Fair was formally opened Tues day mOrning by the Hon. E. W. Dabbs, president of the State Farmers’ Union, who yd* a most interesting, strenght- forward address to the farmers of Barn well County. He was introduced by the Hon. Charles Carroll Simms, of Barnwell, who is a most entertaining speaker. Mr. Dabbs spoke principally about the marketing of crops, & prob lem that is furnishing much food for thought at this time. Quite a large audience heard him but it is to be re gretted that every farmer in the coun ty was not here. Lack of space pre vents a full report of his excellent talk No one can visit the exhibition in the | Court House of the products of this ^^aiy without being greatly impressed >^^he wonderful resources of this sec- tfon. The powers of this writer as s word painter are not great enough to <io justice to the display In writing of the Fair last year, the late Major John W Holmes said A wonder feeling akin to that *hirh r ust have overwhelmed the new awakened Rip Van Winkle came arrm* u* as we looked upon sugar cane ma lured nine feet high almost long enough for fence null, corn ears large a plenty for fire wood, sweet jioUtoes cannon ball sue. w«ter ground white and jreDow corn me*i. can nod goods in iteauttfnl perfection and unlimited >a nety. rakes and pceaervev jrihea and wines that would tempt a Ikjrtor of lh vinity to take a das off and crook the eibow with bibulous and .arcenous in tmt And there were other things more thna memory could reach around and remember—(be useful works of strong teatpod. atniwart men. the creations of dainty bands of polished women the flower buds of prucn.ac from v h.«ol rooms where young ideas are 'aught to grow aright It was a re\eiati«n and a prophecy But we shall not rndea\ >r to do jnatlee to an or,I»e) nnd *t e p"-a*p of fact and the fight <*f far, .

From a chance remark made in my hearing 1 am led to infer that some one has been insinuating that money raised for the Rectory Fund was being divert ed, or had been diverted to other uses. Whether the author or authors of this insinuation intended to give the impression that some part of the funds collected have never been turned in or that the fund, was being temporarily used for other purposes I know not. But I take this occasion to inform the public as to the status of the fund. Every dollar intended for the Rectory Fund has gone into the Bank of Western Carolina. The amount nec essary for the purchase of the lot be ing withdrawn, the balance has re mained in the savings department at four per cent interest. The interest has quite materially added to the prin- !

What is apparently a moat brutal murder waa committed in the West era part of Barnwell County, about three * o’clock Saturday morning, on the plan tation of Mr. R. A. Griffin, and aa a re sult of an investigation by the Sheriff, Frank Dukes, a negro, is now in the county jail. Answering a hurry call from Mr. Griffin, Sheriff J. B. Morris hurried to the scene of the alleged murder Saturday morning. The dead body of Mose Priester, colored, had been foead in front of the house occupied by Frank Dukes. Priester had been shot in the back with a shot gun and his sk«H crushed with a club. Repeated in quiries elicited no information, so Capt Morris did a little detective work. A thorough seach disclosed the ashes of a fire, in which were found the remains of the stock of a gun and the buttons from a) pair of overalls. Hidden ia mother place was the barrel of a shot gun. Blood stains were Dukes house, it is said It is i that the negro was killed it his body dragged to the place was first discovered.

(Rape will not do well on poor soil.) Sow about 6 pounds of seed to the acre broadcast. If drilled, three pounds will do.
