The Sun Shone in Barnwell, Which
Would Indicate More Cold.
Monday was “Ground Hog Day,”
and if there is any dependence to be
placed in the old tradition winter
weather will prevail for six weeks
longer., There, is an old belief that
on‘February 2nd J.he ground hog a-
wakens after ^Jiis long winter nap
and comes put to take a. “look-see.”
If the weather is fair, the little ani
mal, whictyis extremely timid, be
comes frghtened at its shadow and
scampers back for another siesta of
six weeks, which if taken to mean
that there will be a late Spring. If,
however, the skies are overcast he re
mains above ground and winter is
over. According to the News and
Courier the hour for him to make his
observation is noon, while The State
puts the “zero hour” at sunrise and
Tuesday’s issue of the last named pa
per stated that it was cloudy at the
time. -The People has always been
under the impression that if the sun
shone at any time during the day it
was an indication that therr would
be six weeks more of winssc. Ilf this
bo the correct version Spring is yot
six weeks in the future, as the sun

'In view of the fact that a numb^i; of
new cases of influenza has developed
in and around Barnwell in the past 2
or 3 weeks, the local Board of Health
held a meeting Tuesday morning to
discuss the situation and decide upon
what steps, if any, should be taken at
the present time. Inasmuch as the
disease is not now so widespread as
to have become epidemic, no quaran
tine was ordered, but school children
and patrons of the local moving pic
ture theatre will be required to wear
mas&s, this precaution being deemed
sufficient .for the present. People are
advised, however, against crowds and
a local physician has requested this
paper to publish the following arti
de, which appeared in a bulletin ie
sued by the State Board of Health:

Nursing Committee.
This committee shopld have a list
of all available persons in the com
munity who will volunteer to do or
dinary nursing in case of need. Many
persons ill with influenza do not need
the services of a trained nurse, even
if one could be obtained, but many
families do need simple home atten
tions which can and should be sup
plied through this committee. In an
epidemic there it always great need
for emergency housekeeping and for
visits at country homes of people who
will care for livestock, provide wood
and water, and other such essentials.
This committee can greatly dec reass

Ar^estimate of the probable^loss in
1920 from boll weevil, injury in this
state, prepared for the Extension Ser
vice by Prof. A. F. Conradi, of the
South Carolina Crop Pest Commis
sion, indicates that the loss will run
into millions iaf dollars. The- pos-
sibile loss runs from 10 per cent, in
Greenville to 70 per cent in’Beaufort,
the explanation being made that
weather favorable to boll "Weevil ac-
. a
tfvity, namely, warm winter and wet
June, July, and August, would result
in maximum loss, while the opposite
kind of weather would result in less
loss.
The figures are based on the 1919
crop and show a total possible loss of
over $34,000,000 to $39,000,000 in the
twenty-four counties most likely to be
affected. There may be togses in
ot^er counties. But even if the dam
age it only half of that estimated in
the table, there would be a loaa of
seventeen to twenty million dollars. { was heard overhead, scores of

was announced that a Curtis aero*
plane would leave that progressive
little city about 4 o’clock and would
reach this place in less than 30 min*
unets. As a matter of fact, th? trip
was made in 18 minutes and after
circling over the town the machine,
with all the grace of a huge bird, lan
ded in a field near the site of the
Barnwell Lumber Co.’s plant. Thu
plane, which is owned by the Sumter
Aircraft Co., of Sumter, ,S. C., waa
piloted by Mr. C. H. Siebenhauaen
and carried Col. John L. Folk, of Bam

Hurst, who is also a pilot, came over
to Barnwell Monday morning on the
train to pick out a suitable landing
place, which waa clearly marked with
white cloth.

Aiken Zionists at Blackville.
A royal welcome was extended to
the Aiken Zionists who visited Black
ville to raise funds for the Palestine

The meeting was held at the beauti
ful home of N. Blatt. Mr. Solomon
Blatt was the principal speaker and
delivered a very able address on the
-New Home in Palestine for the Jews;
•along with their generous donations
toward the fund the following en
rolled as members: Solomon Blatt,
N. Blatt, H. Brown, I. Brown, Henry
Rich, Sam Poliakoff, Louis Wingrow,
D. Winoker, I. Cohen, M. Bergen, Ike

The ew*et potato can be grown very
profitably in Barnwell County, and up
to the present time th^ only differ
ence was a matter of curing and stor
age. Now we have 50 store houses
of different sixes operating succesM
fully in South Carolina. The store
houses are made of frame structures
and varying in size from 600 bushels
to 15, 000 bushels capacity. With
the elimination of the storage prob
lem the sweet potato offers us good
cash crops to use in bur system of di
versified farming.
Two to three hundred bushels of po
tatoes can, easily be grown on an acre,
and when properly cured and stored
they can be sold in the spring for
fancy prices. One farmer sold his en
tire crop the other day for $2.25 per
bushel. After all expenses had been
paid he cleared over $300.00 per
acre.
I am spending some time now on
this project and it appears that we
will have two five thousand bushels
store houses at Williston and two
larger ones at Blackville. I would
like to see three or four more in other
parts of the county, and if any qtfe
desires to get plans and specifica
tions I shall be glad to furnish them
and assist them in the construction of
the house, ftlF t?T©wtng,' curing and
marketing of the potatoes.

easily be arranged in counties or

through these organize the people

A rear tonneau door, two cylinder
touring car manufactured by the Ford

has a seventy eight inch wheel base, a
five gallon gas tank and is owned by
A. C. McCarthy of Portland, Oregon.
Of course the Ford isn’t exactly pos
sessed of the latest lines and it is be
ginning to wear slightly, but mechan
ically—why even the aged brass bom
works. The machine is now being
driven on business -trips through

who doesn’t expect to be in the mar
