BANK NEGOTIATING.
Branchville Institution in Straits Owing
to Present Stress.
Branchville, March 22.?Negotiations
between the officials of the
Bank of Branchville and the state
bank examiner are being continued
with prospects of an early adjustment,
stated L. H. Fairey, vice-president
of the bank tonight. The bank
is open as usual except that no
checks are being paid at present.
Owing to inability to realize on
loans this institution postponed the
payment of checks Monday and Mr.
Fairey went to Columbia to confer
with the bank examiner on the mat
ter.
This institution is solvent and the
customers who appear to fully understand
the situation, have evidenced
no anxiety whatever as the assets
of the institution are considerably in
excess of the liabilities and the present
situation, although embarrassing,
is considered only temporary.
Mr. Fairey stated today that everything
appeared favorable for early
relief from the present situation.
* TWO WOUNDED IN DUEL.
Barnwell Farmers* Quarrel Said to
Be of Long Standing.
Barnwell, March 27.?In a shotgun
duel, which took place about five
miles from Barnwell this morning,
T.onnnrri Miles, white, was seriously
wounded and Charlie Morris, also
white, was painfully injured. Miles
was shot in the chest, the hall passing
through his lung and coming out
of his back. Morris was shot in his
feet. It is said that the shooting was
the culmination of long standing ill
feeling between the two men, who
live on adjoining farms. Each claims
that the other shot first. The attending
physician said that Miles had an
even chance of recovery.

Circulating Petition in Washington
Against Treasury Appointment.
Washington, March 26.?The women
employees of the office of the
registrar of the treasury are circulating
a petition in which they will
urge the secretary of the treasury
to refrain from appointing a negro
to the office of registrar.
There is current a report that a
\ negro, Henry Lincoln Johnson, of
Georgia, will be appointed registrar
The petition is not signed by male
employees because they are not in
vited to sign. The women preparing
the petition are from all sections
of the country and affiliated with ;
both major political parties.
beaufort ships lettuce.
Crop Has Already Brought Planters
More Than $275,000.00.
Beaufort, March 26.?The Beaufort j
farmers are still busy shipping let- ,
tuce and romaine. Last week 130 i
cars of lettuce move? from Beaufort
and so far this week the shipments
for each day have been as follows:
Monday, 60 cars; Tuesday, 43 cars; .
Wednesday, 60 cars. This amounts
to more than 100,000 baskets. The <
market has been averaging from
$2.75 to $3 per basket for the run
of the car, so the crop cut up to the .
cold wave Tuesday night has amounted
to more than $275,000.00.
The cool, damp snap has been just
what was needed by the farmers for
their lettuce, although it did not
come quite soon enough to prevent
a good deal of lettuce and romaine
from becoming scorched and burned
by the hot sun of Monday and Tuesday.
The cool weather caused the
lettuce to head up, turning in many
of the scorch-el leaves, thereby ruining
them for sale.
Methodists Give Egg Hunt.
Hnnp Mnrrh 17 TTnirm Metho
dist Sunday school gave an Easter egg
hunt Saturday afternoon for the pupils
in a pine grove across Snake
Swamp, near F. E. Cope's place, and
a large crowd was in attendance on
this pleasant occasion for the little
folks. Some of the Baptists were on
hand also, they having been invited
to take part. A long table had been
erected by Mr. Cope, on which was a
variety and abundance of delicacies.
Yesterday being Good Friday, the
Cope graded school was closed. During
the afternoon a game of base ball
was played by the Cope school team
and a team of the St. George school,
some seven or eight miles from here,
and as the St. George team consisted
of a nine so much larger in size they
ran it over the home team by a score
of 35 to 7.
As the weather continues warm and
summerish at times, the farmers are
putting in their cotton and corn with
a vengeance. Some of them have held
back, expecting a cold snap at Easter
time, but as it has not dev.eloped so
far, they, too, will get busy from now
on.
EGO WEIGHS HALF POUND.
Perfectly Formed Egg in Shell of
Larger One.
Spartanburg, March 20.?A hen
egg weighing a half pound was laid
by a common barnyard hen in Spartanburg
yesterday. The hen belongs
to Walter Dennis, a negro living on!
Hines street. When the egg was
broken it was found that on the inside
of the large egg was a large,
well formed hen egg with a shell,!
containing the white and yolk.
