Crouch, County Super intendent of Education, stated last week that he received 119.50, net, for 30 half bunches of asparagus that he shipped to Aiken on the 25tty ult. The warm w’eather of last week caused the "grass” ,to mature rapidly and a quan tity was shipped. All brought satisfac tory prices. The prices paid so far this year have been exceptionally good, this being due in a great measure to the early date of shipment. Dr. J. P. Lee, Jr., of Williston, who Mr W. L. Bates. Mr. W. L. Bates died very suddenly from heart Ia2ure at his home near Dunbarton Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock. He bad left the house, appa rently in his usual good health, and had gone ool into a field to cut some wood. After he had finished, he sat down on a stumpAo rest and it was fhere that the Grim Reaper claimed him. When found by members of his family he had breathed his last and in the stiffening fingers theaxe was tightly clenched. Mr. Bates had long been a consistent member of the Baptist Church and a better man never lived. , His was a kindly disposition and the community in which he lived so long and so worth ily is a h«a>'y loser by his death. A devoted husband, a kindly and loving father, a true friend has passed from mortal sight but his memory will re main fragrant in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Verily, he was one of God’s noblemen. Mr. Baibk is survived by his wife, who was Miss Ida Baughman, of Dun barton, one daughter, Mrs. B. M. Whaley, wf. Dunbarton, two sons, Mes srs. J. Walter Bates, af Allendale, and L. F. Bates, of near Dunbarton, one sister, Mrs. Bell All, of near Williston, and one brother, Mr. M. N. Bates, of Blackville. To these the sincere sym pathy of.a host of friends is extended in their dark hour of ssrrow.
