The county treasurer has received the sum of $918.62 from additional insurance fees. Good rains have visited the county during the week, which were Quite welcomed, as the fall has been very dry, with the exception of heavy rains in the early fall. The recent rains will greatly benefit the fall grain crops. The county statistician furnishes us with the following figures on cot* ton ginned prior to November 14: 1920, 18,194; 1919, 22,117. It will be noted that he crop of 1920 is about 18 per cent, less than the crop of last year on the same date. C. E. Sandifer, a prominent farmer of the county, has presented:' The.

Shower for Little Leonard Still. Blackville, Nov. 29.?On Friday of last week, Mrs. J. C. Johnson charmingly entertained the Priscilla club, and a few friends aside from the club members. The feature of the afternoon was a beautifully arranged and perfectly carried out shower, given by the club in honor of William Leonard Still, infant son of Mrs. R. B. Still, Mrs. Still being a charter member of the Priscilla club. The gifts were beautifully arranged in a white carriage artistically decorated with pink ribbons and a lovely cupid doll, and were brought in by little Frank Hammet, who stopped before the tiny guest of honor and his mother, and with the assistance of Mrs. Johnson, unloaded the carriage, displaying many beautiful and useful presents, among which were hand made dresses, pillow cases, sacks, bootees, rosettes and baby jewelry. Mrs. Still thanked the club in a most gracious manner in a well composed poem. In the dining room, simply but beautifully decorated in white chrysanthemums, Mrs. Johnson, assisted by Mrs. L. >C.

What has every appearance of having been one of the most cold blood- j ed murders ever committed in the) county came to light Thursday morning, when the dead body of Lige Milledge was found in the woods neftr his home 011 the place of J. M. Grimes in the Colston section of the county. The negro had been shot in the head with a shot gun, evidently his own weapon, and the indications were that perhaps both barrels had been fired at once. A huge gunshot wound was seen in the side of his head. The gun, doubtless the one used, was found beside his body, with the stock broken, as if from a blow on the man's head after having been shot. Magistrate Dickinson held an inquest over the body Thursday afternoon for Coroner Zeigler. It is said that the body of the negro was found by a hunting party. The gunshot that killed Milledge was heard by some of the neighbors, but no attention was paid to it, as it was thought the man was out hunting, and that the shot had been fired by himself at game. The body was located not over 150 yards from his house. It is not known who was the perpetrator of the foul deed, but the officers have their suspicions. It is thought that Milledge, while out hunting, encountered his adversary, who took his gun from him and killed him on the spot, giving him a final blow on the head to complete the job, and then throwing the gun down left for parts unknown. Milledge is ^Said to have been a peacible and law-abiding negro, wno | was held in high esteem by the white | people as well colored, and it is sincerely hoped that his slayer will be brought to a speedy justice. Some Democrats Blacklisted. The national Democratic committee has published "black" and "white" lists of distinguished Democrats who did what they could for the party during the recent campaign or laid dpwn on it as the case happened to be. The white list is made of Democrats in high position who had fights of their own, and those who, having no fight of their own went out and campaigned wherever they thought they could be of service. Albert Sidney Burleson, postmaster general, heads the black list, he having done nothing in the campaign after Cox defeated McAdoo and Wm. J. Bryan comes second. Bryan offered to do -what he could for Cox if Cox would promise to appoint to office only such men as would faithfully carry out the, Volstead act. Cox would not promise and Bryan; let the camnrno-n alone. Others on the black list are Senator Gore, of Oklahoma; Reed, of Missouri; Walsh, of Massachusetts; Swanson, of Virginia; Carter Glass, of Virginia; Smith and Harris, of Georgia; Dial, of South Carolina, and Secretary of the Treasury Houston. All of the members of the federal trade commission and the federal reserve board are included. The white list includes all members of the cabinet, with the exception of Burleson, and also the following: Senators Hitchcock, of Nebraska; Pittman, of Nevada; Walsh, of Montana; Underwood, of Alabama; Robinson, of Arkansas; Sheppard, of Texas; Stanley, of Kentucky; Harrison, of Mississippi; Kirby, of Arkansas; Pomerene, of Ohio; Homer Cummings, William G. McAdop, Bourke Cochran, and the following members of the house: Borough, of Arkansas, Garett, of Tennessee; Byrnes, of South Carolina; Connelly, of Texas; Bee, of exas; Stoll, of South Carolina; Goodwin, of Arkansas; McClintock, of Oklahoma; Eswell, of Louisiana, and Stevenson, of South Carolina.?-Yorkville Enquirer.

The curtain was rung down 011 the foot, ball season here Thanksgiving day with the game of Carlisle and Richmond academy, of Augusta, in which Carlisle emerged victorious by the score of 20 to 0. The weather was perfect and the contest was waged under ideal conditions. There was a large crowd present, a special train from Augusta bringing the foot ball warriors, who had not been defeated before this season, and their supporters, 150 strong, to cheer their team. Carlisle played a good game; in fact, its best game of t;he season. Every man on the team played well and the perfect teamwork completely overwhelmed their neighbors from across II - ft "U me oavauiiaii. White, of Carlisle, was the particular star of the game. Time and again the big halfback was called upon to make the required distance on the fourth down, and he was successful every time. Williams, of Carlisle, also hit the line with telling effect and tore through the Richmond forwards at frequent intervals. Large for Carilsle, aslso played splendidly. For Richmond, Sherlock, the quarterback, played a star game. He used good judgment in calling signals and made several end runs for long gains. The entire backfield for Richmond played a good' game. What Augusta Thought of the Came. The following is an excerpt from the write-up of the game from the Augusta Chronicle: "Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock there left the union station on board the academy special 140 persons who firmly believed that they had purchased tickets to the sight of the slaugh ter of the Carlisle warriors at tne hands of the Richmond musketeers. But last night the same 14 0 persons returned to Augusta after having witnessed a repetition of the Fort Dodge massacre. To make the story brief and to the point there was nothing to the Richmond academy-Bamberg game but another proof that, at least, "might is right" still holds good. The academy team, outweighed 28 pounds to the man, went down in defeat before the giant aggregation representing Carlisle school, by the score of 20 to 0. It is possible that a chronicle of the events of the day will prove more interesting to the reader than a story of the game, so this story shall be confined to pleasant occurrences of the day and the many incidents that, went into the making of a perfect holiday for all who made the pilgrimage into the land of the sand hills. "One hundred and forty citizens of Augusta, who had arrived at that age which allows them voice in the affairs of the city or who have not yet passed the threshold that leads into the temple of maturity, gathered at the union station yesterday morning and boarded the train that the officers of the academy had secured for the crusade into the Palmetto state. "Although the cars composing the train were of the style of 1850 and the engine had been designed as an ornament for the watch chain of some railroad magnate, nevertheless the crusaders were safely convoyed to the haunts of the sand lappers and were met at the station by the Carlisle band, which makes up in numbers what it lacks in talent. "Having run the gauntlet and having arrived on the fieid of battle the Augustans had the privilege of coming into contact with sports who really know the meaning of the word and who live up to the requirements of the order. The Carlisle players were gentlemen and the persons on the sidelines, from the water boy to the president and from the laborer to the plutocrat, pulled hard for the Carlisle team, but never forgot that there were some on the held wnose sympathies were with the opposing side and never offended the most sensitive. I "Once in the possession of the Carlisle team the ball was carried across the goal without the least let up. Off tackle and center plunges were the plays that crushed the academy as time after time the purple and gold stockinged boys were buried beneath hundreds of ponuds of muscle. "It is not meant to convey the impression that the academy team lost solely because of a preponderance of weight, for such was not the case. Had the musketeers played the game of which they are capable of playing j and displayed the class that they real| lv possess the final count would have j been vastly different." True Friendship. "Do you know Mrs. Hardlux?" "Yes. indeed! Why, I'm probably her best friend." "Then I was mistaken in thinking you cut her on the avenue." "Oh, possibly I did. But, my dear I was positively the last person in society to drop her when her husband lost his money." / REV. S. O. CAXTEY RETURNS. | Rev. I'. K. Rhoad lias Distinction of Fifth Year at Providence The members of the Methodist congregation of Bamberg were delighted to read in the appointments of the i South Carolina conference that Rev. I S. O. Cantey, the beloved pastor of j Trinity Methodist church, had been returned to Bamberg. -Rev. Mr. Cantey and his estimable family have been in Bamberg but one year, but in this time have endeared themselves not only to the Trinity congregation, but to the entire city, and everybody joins in congratulating Trinity church on his return to the city. Rev. W. E. Wiggins, who has likewise served but one year at Denmark. is returned to his Deonle. Mr. Wiggins and family have made a great many friends throughout the county during their brief residence in Denmark, who will be joyed to know that they will be here at least another year. Rev. C. M. Peeler, who is doing a splendid pastoral work at Olar, will remain for another year at his charge to the delight of all the people of that section. Rev. T. L. Belvin comes to Ehrhardt, to take the place of Rev. T. W. Godbold, who was .'transferred to another field of labor. Mr. Godbold has made many sincere friends in the county during his pastorate at Ehrhardt, all of whom wish him and his family much success in their new field of endeavor. The field of the Bamberg mills and Embree is yet to be supplied. The Bamberg county friends and relatives of Rev. P. K. Rhoad will be interested to know that the conference sent him back to Providence church, in Orangeburg county, for another year. Under Mr. Rhoad's leadership, the Providence congregation has just completed the erection of a new church and parsonage, at a cost of over $50,000, all of which has been paid for, and although he has just rounded out his fourth year at Prov-| idence, at the earnest solicitation of i his membership, the conference has givem him the distinction of a fifth year at the same pastorate, a privilege which is granted very rarely by the Methodist conference.

"I have noticed a young man attired in a dress suit in the drawing room on two or three evenings every week of late. What is his occupation?" The little miss blushed prettily, and her dark eyes flashed mischievously, but there was keen pride and joy in her voice as she answered: -"He is at present unemployed, father, but he is thinking seriously of accepting a position as life companion to a young lady of means." Not the Insect. "I have many times heard people refer to a whale as a fish," remarked a librarian in a western town, "but it remained for a certain youngster, a patron of our institution, to intro duce a totally new classification of the creature. " 'Please,' said the lad, It me have a book 011 whales.' "Very shortly the youth student was provided with a book on natural history and his attention invited to a chapter 011 whales. "Then the boy gave one look at the volume and then said: " 'Oh, I don't mean a book on the insect! I mean the country." I 1? |?l ^ Renew your subscription today. f "HIGH CHURCH" BAPTIST. .
