The Barnwell People. “Just Like a Member of the Family" VOL. XXXVI BARNWELL, S. C, FEBRUARY 13, 1913 NO. 25 SESSION MAY END FEBRUARY 22ND Smooth Running to Far With Erory Pro* tpect of Continuance. Coludibla, February 9.—Unlea* amnethlng extraodioary occurs, the members of the General Assembly will tie at their homes some time on Wash ington's Birthday. The House has al ready adopted the Courtney resolution providing for adjournment on the tWnd, and, as a matter of fact, from the present outlook that will be easy of accomplUhment. The only import ant measures that will need consider ation will be the general appropriation and supply bills, and these are not of ten subject to hard fights. Tho ways and means committee is giving the situation most careful study, and Mr, Dick, chairman of the committee, and bis competent co-worker# are getting everything in shipshape. There is very little prospect of a de layed adjournment, at least such is not the prospect now, and such will not be unless something bresks loose at the last moment, and it will have to be en- tlrelv unexpected. BXTTKK WORK THAN WRaNGI.I. Profiting by the experience of last session, when members spent much of their time wrangling over politics and side Issues and the lack of wisdom In drifting into fights, the members of the House have about agr-ed that If others want to do so thst they w ill attend to their work and accomplish what thev can for the good of the State and i|ult at that There has been no open fric tion, because it takes twobndief, one ruhtung again-t the other, to create friction, and the consensus of opinion has tieen that It is better, perhaps, {••r the common good to go out of the .\ay rather than have an unseemly right that will accomplish no mate.,at good, ansi, father, that the people will in 'ime see w hat I* w hst NO kro< It M 4 K I v*, Laws, There la little likelihood of epoch- making legislation, such as the paas- age of a general prohtblton or dis|ien- eary law, the repeal <•( the lien law or anything of that nature, There will, of course, be a aeries of Important matters In fact. It la uncertain whether any of the general measures that have been passed hy the House will get through tha Sanste, or vice versa.

Farmers from different part* of the county report splendid progress In their preparations, as they took advantage of the extremely mild weather last month and “broke land while the sun shone.” We hope, however, that one report is untrue, and that is. that the cotton acreage will be increased this year. We had hoped that the great progress made in corn production would be an incentive to the farmers to devote more of their lands to the cultivation of thi* crop. There Is an old saying that “where corn is plentiful, hogs come without calling.” The farmer who has hU corn crib and his smoke house well tilled is, to use a slang ex pression. ‘ well heeled,” and has no reason to fear a slump in the price of the fleecy staple.

DeUila of Tragedy Meagre—News Stagger* Whole Scientific World News of the death of Capt Robert E. Scott and his four brave companions, who succeeded by a final dash in reach ing the South Pole, only to find proofs that Amundsen had forestalled them, came in a brief dispatch from Lieut. G. R. Evans, of the Royal navy, who was second in command when the expedi tion started, and who now signs as commander of the expedition. The message was signalled from the Terra Nova, returning from the Ant arctic regions, while passing Oamaru, New Zealand. The staggering effects of the news on the public mind is all the greater, as it was believed that modern science and recent experience had completely divested polar exploration of its former terrors. No detailed facts are yet known, hut it is believed the records of the scien tific material collected, together with the explorers’ bodies, have been re covered. It is also understood that gallant attempts were made by other members of the expedition to succor the Scott party, but these were defeat ed by sever! weather conditions and lack of food. It seems practically certain that the explorers starved to death. The fact that (’apt Amudsen reached his base from the pule in IK) days, while the Scott party had been travelling more than two months when the disaster overtook them, is h*-li< \ed to show that Srott must have eithrr met some mis fortune. possibly m a crevass, or en countered a seccession of hli/z.ar(ls. The fact that Petty Officer Evans died from concussion of the brain as early as February 17 seems to indicate some such activity, possibly involving the loss of a [portion of the equipment Capt Oates died on March 17, which clearly shows that the partv was in dire straits and must have undergone terrible suffering darings the remain ing 1J days No news has been re ceived as to how the fate of Capt Scott and his companions was discovered, hut it is assumed that a rescue partv was dispatched from the base “HUMAN SQUIRRELS” ATTRACT ATTENTION A LIFE-SIZE TIGER CAUGHT SATURDAY Work ol Lmemr n Installing Electric light Fixture* Provide* En tertainment Hi# Lair Waa Raided Saturday and Resulted in a Water-haul of Empties. Capt, J. B. Morris captured a full grown tiger Saturday afternoon and brought him to Barnwell, where he was lodged In the county jail. He was of the “blind” species, and In his lair, which was located on the Barnwell- Blackville road, a short distance from Ashley, the following evidence of his means of livelihood was found: Piti empty one-gallon glass jugs, 2 empty demijohns, a large quantity of empty quart, pint and half-pint whiskey bottles, 4 full gallon-bottles, and a funnel. Evans Brown is the name of the ‘tiger” and his ancestors hail from the jungles of Africa. While he was being lodged in j&il, he handed Capt, Morris a roll of f 10 and $20 bills which amounted to the sum of $210, In addition to a large amount of silver money which he had In a hag. He was released on bond. Evans is sup posedly a plow-hand. The Disposition of the Cottonseed. It is now time to consider the ques tion of fertilizers for the next crop. In this connection the dlsjiosition of the cottonseed Is important. The farmer has a choice of u-lng them di rectly as a fertilizer, after crushing or rolling in acid phosphate to nrr- vent germination, or to sell the seed or exchange [hem lor cottonseed meal. The writer notes from recent quota tions that the pru e offered Is around thirty-five cent* per bu-bel w hi. h cor responds to i'A t3 per ton, while rot- ion*eed meal 1* quoted about J27oo per ton. Thi* gives a rate of exchange of 172' pounds of meal f >r a ton of seed. Lxperiments conducted at va rious experiment stations »how that the llntur and oil are of no value as sources of fertilizer, and can only he con*iJered lor the amount <>f organic matter added On the other hand w hen the Ilnter and oil. which con tain no appreciable amounts of plant food are removed, the entire plant food ol the seed remains la the hulls and cake.

Falix Diax is Rwl—sed from Priaon and Hoads Rebels. According to reports received from Mexico City, the neighboring republic is being visited by another revolution, under the leadership of Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of the deposed president, Porfirio Diaz. P'rancisco Madero, the present presi dent, and his cabinet took refuge in the National Palace, where they suc ceeded in repulsing the attacks of the revolutionists. On Monday it was re ported that Madero had taken flight, hut it appears that he was absent only a short time. He is confident that the government will triumph. Diaz is said to be well supplied with money and ammunition and is equally confident of the success of the revolt. The policy of the United States is now, as it has been in the revolutions of the past few years, “hands off.” However, battleships have been or dered to Mexican waters to afford ref uge forf oreigners and to observe andre- port upon conditions as they develop. The opinion prevails in official cir cles that this last storm which has broken over Mexico will lie followed hy the restoration of a permanent stable government. If Madero tri umphs he will he so strong as to he able to make short work of the small er revolts dragging on in outlying portions of the country. If Diaz suc- ! ceeds in getting controie of the fortress of Chapultepec overlooking the City of Mexico, either he would tie joined bv the leaders of relxillion in the north and * south or he m a |>osition to tom[>el their surrender in short order.

Elliot, a white man about 3* year* of age and for several motobt an employe on the farm of MrMaurio* Manning near Barnwell, was arrested about ten day* ago on a warrant awora out by Mr. Manning, charging viola tion of the dUpensary law, it being alleged that Elloltt wa* eelllng whis key. Sheriff J. B. Morrlt, who mada the arrest, overhead Elloltt tell an other man to “move tho*e thing*." An Investigation disclosed the fact that Kllolt had erected a small still oa a creek that ran through Mr. Man ning’s place and had been making “moonshine.” The government au thorities were notlrted and a Mr Davis an United States deputy, waa in towa last week getting evidence. Capt. Morris brought the still to Barnwell and at present it is in hit office, where a good many people have viewed It. No wbitkey waa found, but It Is said that a barrel containing the sour mash was at the still. Deputy Sheriff Jin Bolen, acting under orders, searched Elloltt’* little boy, wbo was on hi* way to visit his father, and took a half-pint #f “booze” from his pocket. Elliott was wanted la Georglr, from which state he hails, hut on account of sickness In hi* family at the time. Governor Blease was persuaded not te honor the requisition. Elliott wa* carried to Orangeburg last week, and given a preliminary hearing on Monday. HARTER-WIUUNSON CO. ROBBED AGAIN. • • ' M- ! i- .• u m : . ■ t,.* M I ' I I ' > I T! • too, ll HI, I W re- ,11.
