Mr. Ralph Smith, secretary of the Barnwell Cooperative Marketing As sociation, is in receipt of a telegram from Williston, Fla., stating that two expert graders and packers, together with their assistants, will leave that place this week for oarnwell to su pervise the grading and packing of the incoming truck crops of the mem bers of the association. Practically every farmer in this immediate vicin ity who has planted truck has joined the association and the outlook is bright for a successful season. It is thought that a few farmers who have .very early “patches” of cu cumbers will begin picking on a small scale the latter part of this week, while numbers of others expect to start in earnest during next week. Mr. J. M. Diamond, of Barnwell, pick ed a number of full grown cukes Monday, selling them to the Barnwell Fruit Company. The season is much earlier than last year, when the Ant cukes were gathered about June 7th.

Harvey of Charles ton seats himself in the -chair of the governor of South Carolina, which event will take place in the very near future, he will be the first Charles tonian to warm said chair since 1865 when Judge A. G. Magrath of Char leston was governor. The resignation of Governor Cooper who has been appointed on the fed eral farm loan board to succeed A. F. Lever, automatically promotes Lieu tenant Governor Ha\*ey to the office of governor. WTien he becomes gov ernor, Senator Alan Johnstone of Newberry, president pro tern of the senate, acts as lieutenant governor. When Senator Johnstone becomes lieutenant governor, Newberry county will have no senator in the state, senate which will necessitate the election in Newberry . county of a senator. The fact that a man from Charle ton will be in the gubernatorial chair attracted considerable attention d to arouse interest in in which the lieutenant hi J E. Hair. Wills r p. Lae. Elko T. C. Hair.

Harvey is the first Charlestonian to occupy the guberna torial chair in many years. Charles tonians are no' strangers to the “feel” of the chair as every one knows, for in the early days Charlestonians held in their hands the rudder of the ship of state, and a list of the early gover nors reads almost like a Charleston directory: Beginning back in 1775, there was Gov. Henry lAurens of Charleston and John Rutledge also of the city by | the sea and Rawlins Lowndes and then John Rutledge again when the constitution was changed. Then came John Mathews, also a Charlestonian. Following these as governors came Benjamin Curran! of Charleston and William Moultrie of Charleston, gov ernor in 1786.

The “listeners in” were able to hear a concert being given in New York and the baseball scores in the big leagues which were sent out from Newark.

SAMHFKH-t.Kl BBS COTTON SCORES ADVANCE. The price of cotton made another sensational rise Monday, advancing nearly one cent a pound, which makes the staple worth about- three cents a pound more than it was two weeks ago. More rains in the West and a bettor demand are given as the causes. The market has shown great strength lately and many are freely predicting 25 cents cotton. Middling in Savannah was quoted at 19.88 on Monday. While there has been some im provement in the condition of the crop -dp this section -during the past week, the'^pc^sent prospect is not very bright for large yields.
