Melons Bring Record
Prices in Barnwell
“Governor” W. L. Cave, of Barn
well, “rang the bell” Monday when
he sold a carload of watermelons for
the record price of $500,00 f. o. b.
this city. The melons, which werg
of the Watson variety, averaged 36
pounds, each and only 791 were re-
puired to load the car.
Excellent prices are being received
by the growers this season, prices of
$400.00 and better belngtpuite a com
mon occurrence. One farmer vsold
an average of $425.00 a car. The
wonderful profits being netted by
those who planted melons this year
sound more like the pipe-dreams of
Florida real estate than they do re
ceipts for a 1 farm product. v
Fofd dealers import a flourishing
business. The Dicks Auto Company,
of this city, sold five Fords Saturday
and one Monday morning before ten
o’clock.
Many farmers will be able to pay

Dies from Fall in Sealding Hot Water
Charlie Lewis, negro workman at
the Kearse Veneer and Box company
plant at Olar, met a terrible end last
week when he fell into a vat of boil
ing water. He was rescued only after
sinking the second time, and died the

placed across the top of the vat,
