It is generally believed I that the boll weevil cannot stand too P much cold weather. The snow and I ice gave the ground a thorough I chill for a few days, and everybody. K-I is expecting a better crop year than | last. Incidentally, the weather pro| * phets are promising some more of the I same kind of weather during this f month. Ill The commissioners of public works are receiving many congratulations upon the success they have attained in securing a water supply for- for Bamberg. The commissioners j ^ have been troubled no little for some months past on account of thejnade^;V quate water supply here. The new well bids fair to supply* the town plentifully for many years 10 come, j and the well is so arranged that in the event the present flow diminishes to any great extent, the well can he deepened without removing the W>- piping, and thus tap a new source at |f|/ greater depth. The Herald would like to call attention to the advertisement of the county supervisor in this issue of The 'Herald regarding the practice of [g^: dragging plows in the roads. The practice is so widespread and gen* 1'?x xl ?J o 4- -5 + c* ??oAon t erai mat tut: giauu jui.? a?, im ^ sitting recommended some strong action to abate the nuisance. The counI; . ty is now engaged in spending enorB|y mous amounts of money to give the people of the county a systena of good roads, and the planters should re<gard the efforts of the authorities to the extent certainly of cooperating to preserve the work. It is absog||v Intely useless to build a road if the g|!v plowv hands are allowed to turn their plows in the roadway, which not ' j V.,4 only drags sana into me ruau. uui produce a surface most uncomfortable to travel over. The recommendation that the landowners arrange Hp* to cultivate two or three rows of crops parallel with the road is a most excellent one. This would allow the plow hands to turn their plows at the-end of the rows without having R; i to* go into the road. gfe.

W. Bock. Blackville, January 31.?Friends and relatives-of Joseph William Bock of Aiken will regret to learn ot his death, which occurred at his home there Monday afternoon, after a short illness, having contracted a severe cold last Friday, from which pneumonia developed, resulting in his death. Mr. Bock was the only son of Mrs. Ella Rush Bock, who was originally from Barnwell county, but who has been living in Aiken with her son for many years. His father was the late Joseph William Bock, a jeweler and prominent citizen of Charleston for many years. The deceased was 55 years* old and leaves a widow and one son, Karl, who died several years ago while at college. The funeral services will be held to morrow at Aiken, and the body will be brought here for interment. Body of Soldier Buried. The body of Joseph N. Murray, who lost his life on Flanders field, was brought here for interment last Saturday morning. He was not a I native of Barnwell county, and was 1 somewhat of a stranger here, but had worked for Charley Mathis in i South Carolina, Colorado and California. r He was working here for Mr. Mathis and boarding at George Chitty's when he entered into the service. Mr. Chitty and his wife thought a great deal of the young jman, who had no relatives, so he was buried in their family square in the Blackville cemetery. Owing to lack of information concerning the shipment of the body and the hour fixed for burial, there were not many at the burial, and he ' .lot receive the visible tributes o aspect generally accorded heroes of the world war who are sent home for inter __ + I mem. / Start Work on Highway. The Mayfield Construction company started to grading on the highway near here yesterday morning. Forty-eight laborers and eight machines were busy "hitting the grit." Hold-up Intercepted.

When Sam Izlar Buist, who clerks for Simon Brown's Sons, was returning home he was accosted by a stranger on a dark part of a street who asked him for five dollars. Mr. Buist said: "I haven't five dollars; the sight of that much would make me fall dead." The stranger then said: "Well, go back up town and get me some," which remark' inspired Mr. Buist, who was fortunately armed, to reach quickly for his pistol, which caused tne stranger to "burn the wind."
