Mr. Ralph Smith, secretary of the
Barnwell Cooperative Marketing As
sociation, is in receipt of a telegram
from Williston, Fla., stating that two
expert graders and packers, together
with their assistants, will leave that
place this week for oarnwell to su
pervise the grading and packing of
the incoming truck crops of the mem
bers of the association. Practically
every farmer in this immediate vicin
ity who has planted truck has joined
the association and the outlook is
bright for a successful season.
It is thought that a few farmers
who have .very early “patches” of cu
cumbers will begin picking on a small
scale the latter part of this week,
while numbers of others expect to
start in earnest during next week.
Mr. J. M. Diamond, of Barnwell, pick
ed a number of full grown cukes
Monday, selling them to the Barnwell
Fruit Company. The season is much
earlier than last year, when the Ant
cukes were gathered about June 7th.

products has proved to he an uiwpiali-

When Wilson G. Harvey of Charles
ton seats himself in the -chair of the
governor of South Carolina, which
event will take place in the very near
future, he will be the first Charles
tonian to warm said chair since 1865
when Judge A. G. Magrath of Char

The resignation of Governor Cooper

Newberry, president pro tern of the
senate, acts as lieutenant governor.
When Senator Johnstone becomes
lieutenant governor, Newberry county
will have no senator in the state,
senate which will necessitate the
election in Newberry . county of a
senator.
The fact that a man from Charle
ton will be in the gubernatorial chair
attracted considerable attention

No Strangers
' While Wilson G.' Harvey is the first
Charlestonian to occupy the guberna
torial chair in many years. Charles
tonians are no' strangers to the “feel”
of the chair as every one knows, for
in the early days Charlestonians held
in their hands the rudder of the ship
of state, and a list of the early gover
nors reads almost like a Charleston
directory:
Beginning back in 1775, there was
Gov. Henry lAurens of Charleston
and John Rutledge also of the city by |
the sea and Rawlins Lowndes and
then John Rutledge again when the
constitution was changed. Then came
John Mathews, also a Charlestonian.
Following these as governors came
Benjamin Curran! of Charleston and
William Moultrie of Charleston, gov
ernor in 1786. Then there were Thomss

fier, Makeshifts were used in cariy
ing on experiments, but due to the
fact that the substituted parts were
defective or because of “statics” in
the atmosphere, the operators were
at first unable to “tune in” properly
on broadcasting stations. However,
a"few words were picked up Saturday
night, and with the addition of the
proper storage battery Monday even
ing the operation of the set was very
successful. The “listeners in” were
able to hear a concert being given in
New York and the baseball scores in
the big leagues which were sent out
from Newark. The editor of Tho
People had the pleasure of listening
to a violin solo. For the present, and
until an amplifier is secured, the
nightly programs can lie enjoyed by
only a limited number of people, but
the owners of the set hope to have ev
erything arranged at an early date so ,
that large audiences can hear what is

COTTON SCORES ADVANCE.
The price of cotton made another
sensational rise Monday, advancing
nearly one cent a pound, which makes
the staple worth about- three cents a
pound more than it was two weeks
ago. More rains in the West and a
bettor demand are given as the
causes. The market has shown great
strength lately and many are freely
predicting 25 cents cotton. Middling
in Savannah was quoted at 19.88 on
Monday.
While there has been some im
provement in the condition of the crop
-dp this section -during the past week,
the'^pc^sent prospect is not very
bright for large yields.
