lowing counties: Allendale, Barnwell,
Aiken, Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton,
Dorchester, Georgetown Hampton,
Horry, Jasper, Orangeburg and Wil
liamsburg.
Reports from the county agents in
these counties show that the state will
decrease its cotton acreage consider
able, while it is increasing its other
crops. The decrease in cotton, as
shown by Mr. Long's statistics, will
be as follows: Aiken, 10 per cent.;
Allendale. 40 per cent.; Barnwell. SS

The running-fire comments as Reno

Important Notice To Advertisers.
, |
- Due to the constantly increasing costs of production, the newspapers of
the State aiw faced with the necessity of either suspending publication or in
creasing advertising rates. We believe that the advertisers appreciate the
poistion in which newspapers are placed, knowing as they do the manner in
which prices have advanced by leaps and bounds inr-the past few months.
As only one example of the increase in cost of production, we might cite the
recent advance in the price of gasoline, which plays an important part in the
cost of publishing a newspaper by furnishing power to run the linotype and
presses, from 30 cents to 35 Cents per gallon. The advance in the price of
print paper, inks, etc., has been equally as great, or greater.. For the
reasons stated above the advertising rates of the undersigned will be as
follows, effective on and after April 1, 1919:
Display advertising, per single column inch 20c.
Classified advertising, per word 1c.
Reading notices, per line 5c.
For th present there will be no increase in the subscription rate, but
present prices are not guaranteed indefinitely.

Fords Turn Turtle on Barnwell—WH-
Baton Road.—No One Badly Hurt.
There were two automobile acci
dents in Barnwell County Sunday af
ternoon, both of which occurred on the
Barnwell-Williston public road. The
first was within the incorporate lim
its of Barnwell, a Ford turning tur
tle at the foot of • “the lynching
ground” hill, the occupants, Bill
Creech and Henry Sanders, of the
Big Fork section, escaping injury
with the exception of a few bruises.
The second accident occurred later
in the afternoon, about two miles of
Williston, when another Ford also
turned turtle. The machine was oc
cupied by two negroes, a man and a
woman, both of whom appeared to be
under the influence of either whiskey
or M ju-maker,” as the brand of Ja
maica ginger that is commonly used
throughout this section as a bever
age is generally known. The man es
caped without a scratch, but the doc
tor, who was hurriedly summoned
from Williston. stated that the Woman
was probably injured internally. Be

Left College Pending SettleaMnt of g
Dispute With The Faculty.
Cadets Leroy Molair, A. N. Lemon
and J. B. Armstrong, Jr., arrived in
Barnwell last week from Clemson col
lege, following a dispute between the
cadets and the faculty about the al
leged unfair treatment of certain ca
dets and bad conditions at the college.
Demands were made upon the Presi- *
dent and when these were refused,,
the freshmen and sophomore classes
left in a body. This action was fol
lowed by threats of the * juior and
senior classmen to walk out in sym
pathy with the under-classmen. A
meeting of the Board of Trustees of
the college was called to investigate
the matter. The result of the inves
tigation is described in the following
dispatch from Clemson:

To Organise Baseball League.
An effort is being made by local
baseball fans to organize a tri-county
baseball league, composed of teams
from the towns of Bamwel^ Black
ville, W’illiston, Bamberg, Denmark
and Allendale. -Jt is the intention of
the promoters that only local players
be used if this be possible. It is also
planned to arrange a schedule of two
games a week for each team, one at
home and one on the road. It is
hoped that the venture will receive
the support that-it deserves and that
the fans in the towns' mentioned will
be given the opportunity of seeing

Death of Mrs. J. A. Creech.
Sentiment is now rapidly cry stai
ning in the western portion of Or
angeburg county and adjacent por
tions of Barnwell ami Aiken coun
ties for the formation of a new coun
ty in that section of the state, ac
cording to reports coming from those
quarters during the past few days.
While no definite action has yet t>een
taken it is said that the steps neces
sary to effect the new arrangement
are being urged in Springfield, Wag-
ener and other portions of the three
counties affected. The towns of
Wagener and Springfield are said to
be now maneuvering for the county
seatshrp of the proposed county.
Various reasons are advanced for
the carrying out of the proposed sep-
aration from the^ .three counties and
the formation of the new division.
The old argument of the size of
Orangeburg county being too large
to permit of its proper handling un
der present governmental arrange
ment is foremost of the reasons ad-
