Two Homicides Last Week? It was reported here last week that a ten-year old negro boy had accident ally shot and killed his six-year old companion, another negro, near Black ville. As the inquest papers had not been turned over to the proper author ities \Ve,were unable to verify the re port. h was also reported from the West ern part of the county that a negro man had shot two negro women killing one and fatally injuring the other. The negro escaped, according to the report. A New Variety of AsparaguV. Superintendent of Education Horace J. Crouch exhibited a new variety of asparagus here Friday. The three stalks that he brought to Barnwell were unusually large and instead of being round they were quite flat, hav ing the appearance of having been “mashed as flat as a pancake.” One especially was a double-jointed affair, and looked like two stalks grown to gether. When asked as to the name of new variety, Mr. Crouch replied that it was a special brand that he is growing to he served on toast, as, being flat, the “grass" will not roll off the bread as does the round kind. The People dubs him the “Burbank of Barnwell Countv.“ Injured in Saw M>tL Duncan, the son of Col and Mrs. Harry I). Calhoun, was painfully in jured Tuesday afternoon by the planer in the saw mill of Hair and Woodward. Duncan, with all the in quisitiveness ot a hoy of his age wanted to find out what the planing machine was and stuck his right hand Into it, with the result that two of his fingers were badly cut. The hone in his forefinger was cut in two and his second finger also received painful in juries He was given immediate med ical attention and it is not thought that he will lo-e his fingers Experience is a dear teacher, and the other hoys in tow n should profit by Dunean's painful experience. Mr. W. B. Cw»«. Mr. W. B. Cave, aged 51 year*, eld- eat son of the late Mr. W. Mallory Cave, departed this life last Thursday afternoon at his home near Barnwell, after an illness of only two days. On Wednesday morning Mr. Cave suffered a stfoke of paralysis, from which he never rallied. Physicians and loved ones did all that could be done, but they could only alleviate his suffering, for there was but little hope from the ! first. His body was laid to rest Friday morning in the family burying ground, the Rev. W. L. Hayes conducting the funeral sendees in the presence of a large gathering of sorrowing relatives and sympathetic friends. The pall bearers were: Messrs. R. H. Lutz, C. C. Langley, Ashton Holland, Marvin Hol land, John I. Renew and J. P. Harley. There was a large number of beauti ful floral offerings. Death of an Infant On Sunday morning as a new r day was breaking, the pure white spirit of ittle Eunice, the infant daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. G. Wooley, of Barnwell, winged its way to a fairer and better land. Ever since its birth the little one had been in delicate health and the skill of physicians was of no avail when the Good Shepherd came to claim the lamb that was loaned for a few short months. To the grief stricken parents, to whom the sympathy of the entire community goes out in their loss, is left the fragrance of her memory and the knowledge that she is safe with Him Who said, “Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” The little body was tenderly laid to rest in the Baptist Church yard Monday morning in the presence of many sor rowing friends, and when the touching funeral service was over the newly made grave was covered with beautiful floral offerings. The pall bearers were: Messrs. G. W. Manville, Frank Huggins, R S. and Norman Dicks, Satisfaction No matter what partico* lar shape or leather you may fancy you ,will find it in “American Gentleman” Shoes, and at a substantial saving from the price that you will he asked to pay else where for the same quality of mat erial and workmanship.

The feature of the game was the, inability of the Barnwell boys to make a tally. Capt. W. B. Parkerjfcof Snelling, was in town Saturday, and cleverly remem bered the editor. He reports farming operations around Snelling as being backward, due to the “laziness of the farmers in January and the bad weath er since that time.” Be sure and read the good news con tained in Merchant C.
