SOCIAL AND PERSONAL I BARNWELL COUNTY MAN NEWS FROM WILLIS TON ! REELECTED PRESIDENT Mrs. M. F. Weathersbee Entertains M. C. Kitchings, of Williston, Again The Barnwell High School eleven Martha Watson Chapter. Columbia, Oct. 13.—The best laM plans, as old Bobbie Bums told us, oft go wrong. This was demonstrated today in an interesting case decided by the Supreme Court. Also another case argued in the same, court. The case settled by the decision was with reference to a tract of land in Barnwell County bought in 1866 by Judge A. P. Aldrich from Gen. Lewis Malone Ayer. While the points of law involved are very pretty, the history of the ease is even more interesting to those who knew of the splendid cltixenship of old Barnwell County in those days. The case i/gued in the court in volves the attorney's fees in set- tlmg a rase in which the will *1 Dr. W. J. Young, of Fairfax, was involved. In reck of these cases the devisee thought that his wish** took ita revenge on Beaufort High at Beaufort for the defeat of last year by defeating the truck growers 30 to 0. Beaufort stubbornly contested the game throughout and played the visi tors to a scoreless tie in the first half. In the third quarter, however, Beaufort’s defense crumbled and Barnwell went over for three touch- tmwns ana etnenea tne victory witn two more in the fourth quarter. Barnwell’s goal was never in danger, the ball being kept in the opponent’s territory throughout. Fumbles in the first half prevented the visitors from scoring. It would be unfair to the other players to say that any particular Barnwell man starred, as each and evary one played winning football. Barnwell's next game will be play ed against the strong Johnston ag gregation Williston, Oct. 13.—One of the most largely attended gatherings of the Martha Watson Chapter D. A. R. was Heads Association. Thursday was “grass’^ day in his toric Trenton. It was quite fitting that the most largely" attended meet- held with Mrs. M .F .Weathersbee on ing ever held«of the South Carolina October 4th. Nearly every member / * was present and a number of invited guests. After the usual routine business had been concluded, the subject of Tamasse^t—(this being Tamassee Day—was taken up. Its needs and those needing it was fully discussed.' The hostess served a delightful salad and sweet course with tea, af ter which the meeting adjourned. Mr. T. H. Johnson, of Dearing, Ga., has been visiting relatives in this section. Mrs. C. D. Parker visited in Al lendale and Fairfax last week-end Asparagus Growers’ association should be held in the home town of late Senator Tillman, who did so much or this industry in its pioneer days. In addition to the regular mem bers from Trenton, Ridge Springs, Williston and Elko there were grow ers present from Aiken and other points, many of whom Joined^ the as sociation Thursday. Though Willis ton extended an urgent invitation that the next annual meeting be held here, the Aiken delegation, who came to see and join, with Mr. Croft as their spokesman, made such a strong plea that the 1924 annual FIRjST CAR OF 1923 PEANUTS. . . < , , * Messrs.

Elko was well represented pt the meeting of the South Carolina As paragus Growers Association last week by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wooley and Mr. C. L. Wooley. Several invi tations were received here. Elko has very few asparagus growers mem bers of this association. The wonder of it is that the Association has un limited patience ano will continue to extend cordial invitations to folk so unappreciative. Mr. W. H. Wooley la the “official grader.” He makes ev erybody believe he knows his busi ness, too. Mrs. Emil Ogden, of North Augus- JOHNSTON HIGH SCHOOL VS. BARNWELL FRIDAY Strong Football Team to Battle Urn Local Eleven at BarnwelL The Johnston High School football team comes to Barnwell to play ithe local team tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 19th. Johnston comes, according to all reports, with a strong'team—by far the most formidable that Ban- well has met so far. They demon strated this fact last week by bold ing the strong Hyatt Park team to 0-0 tie. This fset sounds like trou ble for Barnwell. The local team so far has shown up well. In the threo games played, Barnwell has won two and tied one. In none jf these gamas has her goal been crossed^ which shows that she has a strong defen sive team. This was shown plainly last week in that Beaufort was ms- able to make a single first down against Barnwell.
