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

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,

j ^ome years ago Camp William H
Daman. Sons of Veterans, was organ-
1 tzed at this place with the late Mr K
('. Roberts as Commandant and (j. M.

f the i practically disbanded, and I am now
calling on the old members to meet in
the office of the County Auditor on
Saturday, the IRth inst., for the pur
pose of reorganizing, electing new of
ficer* and a delegate to represent the
Camp at the reunion in Chattanooga on
May 27-2B. The Camp was named in

The Barnwell baseball team went
down in defeat before the Carlisle Fit
ting School bunch on the latter’s dia
mond last Thursday afternoon, the
score being 6 to 0. 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. F. Molair’s ad
vertisement on the editorial page of
this issue. If you want to save 25 cents
on each one dollar purchase, you wiH
do well to inspect the goods that he 7 is
offering at this remarkable reduction in
price.

Bowed down, but not daunted.
The old army stood—
“I have done, my brave soldiers,
All things for ypur good.”
Thus spoke thejr great leader
Deep grief ph his face.
While a halo of glory
Illuminated the place,
Some trailed their muskets,
Some/feheathed their swords;
They sirniled'at Grant’s cannon,
They wept at Lee’s words.
Ai>d Grant was as courteous
/As the grand knights of old;
No glad shouts were uttered,
No loud drums were rolled,
But the victors saluted
Those gaunt men in gray.
And the fire-winged tempest
Died slowly away. ^
