Cuke and 'Lope Seed Will Be Treated Before Planted. GEORGE FICKLING WINS ♦ BIG DAMAGE SUIT HERE Jury Awards Him $25,000 Damages for Personal Injuries. Great interest 'has been taken by the fanners of Barnwell County in the seed treatment work that has been earned on for die - past week, says County Agent Hairy G. Boyn ton. About 50 farmers attended the meeting at Blackville Monday morn ing, where seed treatment and spray work were taken up.« Mr. W. D. Moore, Specialist of the Extension Division, was with the County Agent for these meetings, and some three or four hundred pounds of seed were treated at Blackville that day. Prob ably 150 or 200 farmers Have been reached and informed about this seed treatment work, r.nd the outlook now j is that a, majority of the Watermelon, j cucumber aruf 1 cantaloupe seed will be treated before being planted. The County Agent feels highly gratified ^ with the results of this important work so far, and expects even greater ! interest in the spraying work, which will be taken up later. County Agent Boylston is also spending!*quite a lot of time now in the organization of his boys’ club wxirk. Four clubs are being organ ized in the county, at this time, and any boy who.is interested in joining the club will take the matter up with him in order that he may make ar rangements for the work and have his name enrolled. » During the present week some 5 or 6 or 7 cars of hogs art being sold in the county by the County Agent, he having secured several buyers to come in and hid on tlie-.e hogs. It 'has been very hard up to the present time to be able to dispose of hogs and it has only been done by a great deal of effort on the part of the County Agent and the cooperation of the dif ferent fanners over the county. County Agent Boylston wishes at this time to take the opportunity to state to the fanning interests of Burawe\l County that, the work is progressing as. well as could be e<- pocted, the interest is great along the different lines of woi*.; being carried on, and daily he receives letters, per sonal ealts, telephone and telegraph messages ir reference to the different 1 kinds of information desired.

Last Thursday night the people of the Dunarton Field took advantage of Mr. Johnson, the rvew pastor, and gave him a severe pounding—not over the head, however, but with things to eat. Chickens, hams, shoulders, lard, etc., Were conspiciously in evidence, and some are led to believe that the preacher is about the only person left in Dunbarton with 1 something to eat. The people are to bo commended for this show of appreciation, and no one Ls more grateful than the pastor. Next Sunday, being the fifth Sun day, there will be no preaching at any of the churches in the Dunbarton* Field. It is hoped mat many mem- hoi’s will take advantage and attend the unkm meetinga- Master Kenny Anderson ordered five pigeons of the homing variety from Spartanburg la-t week, and when they arrived they were not the kind he orden , d.

HOLMAN MAY OFFER FOR CONGRESSIONAL HONORS Pressure Being Brought to Bear < Barnwell Attorney to Make Race. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL NEWS FROM WILLISTON Considerable pressure , is being brought to bear on Judge R. C. Hol man, of Barnwell, to induce him to offer as a candidate for Congressional honors from the Second District to succeed the Hon. James F. Byrnes,, who ris seeking the Senatorial toga. When seen by a representative of The Pcoplf Monday, morning. Judge Hol man stated that while he has not Miched a definite decision, he is re ceiving flattering offers of support from different parts of the Distn«.t and is being strongly urged to make the race. Judge Holman’s friends believe that he would make an excellent race and -that he would perform the duties of the office with dignity and ability, re flecting great credit on the Second Congressional District and vindicating the confidence placed in him by the voters should he be elected. There is no doubt whatever as to his qualifica tions and he is as clean morally aa a hound’s tooth. He is a lawyer by profession and a fanner by choice, and thoroughly understands the needs of the agricultural classes. He has been successful both as a practicing attorney and as a fanner. As the. former he hafi a number of impor tant cases to his credit and as the lat ter h« is one of the largest land- owners in the county. He has also graced the Bench on several occas- ■» ions in the capacity of Special Judge and his ability as a jurist is beyond question. He Ls an orator of note and should bo able to hold his own on the hustings and m Congressional de- bate. So far there are five candidates in the race—Solicitor R. L. Gunter and Comptroller General Walter E. Dun can, of Aiken, Judge B. B. Hare, of Saluda, Capt. W. D. Black, of Willis- ton, and B. R. Tillman, of Trenton— and Judge Holman’s flecision will be awaited with keen interest. Mrs. Blanchard Entertains U. D. C.’s —Other Items of Interest. J Col. Brown Not to Run.
