’ Weather Foreca*t.
Issued by the U. S. Weather Bureau,
Washineton, D. C., for the week be
ginning Wednesday. July 7:
Fair weather, with normal tempera
tures, will prevail during the next four
days, except that showers are prob
able on the South Atlantic coast. 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. •

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.
