Issued by the U. S. Weather Bureau, Washineton, D. C., for the week be ginning Wednesday.

The weather will become unsettled, with probably showera after the terith and continue until the close of the week. Aa Explanation. The editor of The Barnwell People regretted to learn that the people of Williaton were highly incensed over the article headed ‘‘A Plea for Clean Baseball, ” which appeared in last week’s issue. The author does not directly charge that there was any money bet on the game, but says in stead that “unless rumor Is very much contrary to the facts there were con siderable sums,” etc. The charge is not made that the vis itor who put a 46-calibre pistol in his poeket when be left home, “to be pre pared for emergencies,'' was from Aa a matter of fact, there visitors here from Black ville, Dunbarton, Allendale, Fairfax, and other towns, in and out of the county. Surely, no inference can be drawn from this that the Williaton people are any thing but law-abiding and peace-loving. The charge is made, however—and it is indisputable—that both teams were composed largely of hired players and the "contest would have been in no sense a test of skill on the part of the baseball players of the two towns be hind the rival teams.” We fail to see where that is any reflection on either town. The sole desire of the author of the article seems to have been to bnng about games in which only local men (or boys) are allowed to play. That, we think, is what he meant by saying, “Let us continue to have clean games.” Although the article was published without any editorial comment of any kind whatsoever, many of the good people of Williaton have opened the flood-gates of their wreth upon this paper. In this connection we beg to call attention to the paragraph at the head of this column, which reads as follows: “Communications—We don Tim«i, ; one of the greatest news papers printed in the English language, is made up largely of letters from the people. If is universally recognized in this country that every man fias a right to his own opinion and one of the fun- ^ damental principles of our form of Democratic government is the right of free speech. Take away that right and see how quickly this government would revert to a tyrannical despotism. That “A Well-Wisher’s” article should have giVen offense is to be re gretted and we have written at length, not with any intention of “bending the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning,” but with the sole desire and intent of disabusing the minds of our Williston readers of the wrong construction they have placed on the article, in the hbpe that the cor dial relationship that has existed in the past between the towns of Barnwell and Williston may be maintained in the future. • We arc opening up a first-class THE TIME IS AT HAND FOR BUILDING SILOS Over 100 Person* Have Asked C lemson College for Help. The dairy specialists of Clemson Col lege and the United States department of agriculture have already received re quests for assistance in the construc tion of over 100 silos to be built this summer. Practically all these requests come from farmers who slate that they expect to begin work on their silos after they have laid by their crops and many state that they will not be ready until the latter part of August. As it requires about a week to as sist with each concrete silo, it is ap parent that only a limited number of farmers can have the services of the Clemson specialists if all build at the same time and wait until the end of summer to do that. During July, the college will have four silo experts or more, each of whom, will go to farm ers, homes and assist in building the forms for concrete silos and remain until the forms have been filled and raised and until a farmer is thoroughly familiar with the work and can con tinue it himself. They will also assist in building stave silos. The extension division of Clemson College has already assisted in the construction of six concrete and two stave siloe this summer. These silos were built very cheaply and the farm ers ire well pleased with them. One concrete silo in Lancaster County was built at a cost of only •100. This silo will hold 90 tons of silage and will pay for itself the first year in savings in feed. A silo in Richland County to con tain 90 tons was built at a cost of 1188.- 94. It will be greatly to the advantage of any fanner who expects to con struct a silo this year to begin during July and construct the foundation, build the forms and keep at work on the silo at odd times. A silo should be completed at lest a month before it is to be filled for the first time. are always glad to publish news letters or those pertaining to matters of public interest.
