Ridge Springs, Oct. 15.—The South
Carolina Asparagus Growers’ asso
ciation represented by farmers, bank
ers, merchants, lawyers, doctors, min
isters, educators and public officials,
assembled here Thursday. , Repres
entatives were present from all the
asparagus growing counties of the
region, inclnding a number of women
and children of this community.
The meeting was called to order by
M. C. Kitchings, president. Invoca
tion was offered by Rev. J. K. Walker.
Address of welcome was delivered by
the Rev. W. S. Dorset, D. D„ and re
sponse by B. R. Tillman which was
followed by a very interesting address
by Aaron Sapiro, marketing expert.
T Ie said that the asparagus associa
tion had done what all agricultural
organizations are striving to do; and
they have done it themselves. 1
Impressive at the outset of his
speech, David R. Coker, of Hartsville,
who is a member of the federal re
serve board of Richmond and who was
to have attended a meeting of the
board Thursday, had the meeting of
the board changed to a week later, in
order that he might be enabled to at
tend the convention here Thursday,
said: ‘The most important thing for
us to do is to reveal the possibilities
cf our State to our own people, and
taking advantage of natural variations
his object in this was to impress the
importance of trying new crops.
He exhibited a watermelon weigh
ing <>o pounds which was grown in
this State and plucked in October;
also apples and malag a grapes grown
in this State and as fine as could be
grown anywhere in the world. He
said that he had been to California,
the greatest advertised State in the
union except Florida, and that the
natural agricultural advantages of
this section surpassed that of Cali
fornia. He said that he would not
undertake to tell us how to grow as
paragus but that he believed that
it would pay us to advertise very ex
tensively. our green asparagus* as
California, our chief competitor on
the Northern markets, cannot grow
green asparagus, which is much' more
preferable than the white. He touch
ed on the cotton situation, sayirg his
advice to the farmers in their present
dilemma was to grow all their own
supplies and plant only as much cot
ton ms they have labor to gather
promptly.
Dt. W. W. Long, of Clemson Col
lege was the next speaker. He said
that the South Carolina Asparagus
Growers’ association was the out
standing agricultural organization in
the State and that Clemson College
*
was proud of it and always ready and
willing to render any service possible.
He said tha* South Carolina Cou:a
ship 2<>"money crops in carlots during
the year and that no ether State in
the ur.ion coeld.
Short talks Were made by the fol

and Co., commission merchants of
Boston, Mass., B. C. Hayne, president

Six hundred delegates and growers

bountiful dinrtbr was served. After

meeting, discussing matters pertain
ing to the perfection of the associa
tion.

elected general manager by the direc
tors.
Solomon BUtt W01
. Assist in Coaching
, Under the able coaching of Mr. J.
S. Keel, the ^Barnwell High School
football team has been developed in
to a machine that has proven invinci
ble, in the three .games played so •far
this season, in which very few first
downs and no touchdowns have been
made by the opposing elevens. How
ever, recognizing the fact that the
locals are better on defensive than the
offensive side of the game, Solomon
Blatt, Esq., who helped develop a
winning team several years ago, has
consented to act in the capacity of
assistant coach and is now cooperat
ing with Mr. Keel in the development
of a combined offensive-defersive
machine that gives promise of being
unbeatable. The squad is much lar
ger than it was when Mr. Blatt was
in charge and the material is equally
as promising. About 18 boys have
been reporting for practice during
.the P*st Week or ten days and some
of the recruits show every Indication
of making first-class football players.
Some of them were given an oportuni.
ty of “strutting their stuff” in the
game against Norway and showed'up
well.
Mr. Blatt met with the boys for the
first time Monday afternoon and it is
believed that several new plays will
have been worked out before the game
against Denmark this week.
Barbell 0, Norway 0.
The Barnwell High School football
team played another scoreless tie
game Thursday afternoon against
Norway Hi. Although the Barnwell
boys seemed to have the edge on
their opponents, they lacked the nec
essary punch to put over the winning
touchdown, although they threatened
on two or three occasion;. On the
otheir hand, their goal was never In
any danger, Norway being gble to
make only one first down in the en
tire game. This came on the first
play when Harth Able, Norway's
deaf and dumb captain and outstand
ing star, got away with an end run.
Therefore the opposing team was
thrown for losses on a majority of the
plays and was forced to £>unt. Barn
well's best chance came in the last
few minutes of play, when a series of
plays carried the ball within the
shadow of Norway’s goal. When the
final whistle blew, the pigskin was :n
Barnwell’s possession on Norway’s
three-yard line,
Sandifer-Still.

Bamberg, Oct. 16—Of interest to
friends in this section' was the recent
marriage of Mrs. G. Maner Sardifer,
whose home is two miles west of Bam
berg in this county, to G. C. Still,
whose home is in Blackville, but who
has recently been employed in this
city. They were united by the Rev.
L. H. Miller, pastor of the Blackville
Baptist church, the ceremony being
performed at the Baptist parsonage
in that place. It was witnessed by
only a few attendants, as the event
was a complete surprise to friends
and relatives of the ^contracting par
ties.
Mrs. Still is an* estimable young
woman, the daughter of the late J. A.
J. Rice and Mrs. Rice, of this county,
and as a school girl in the public
schools here she was popularly known
as Miss Pearl Rice. The groom has
many friends in his home town, Black
ville, and since engaging in contract
ing work here some time ago has
made numerous friends and ac
quaintances in this city and vicinity.

Those who heard Mr. Barrett sing
at the Methodist Church last Spring
will be delighted to hear of his re

The News and Courier says: “Mr.
Barrett is unusually well equipped to
sing, having a voice of great fiexi-
.bility, purity and sweetness of tone.
In short, he has a genuine vocal en
dowment, poise and exhibits musically
artistic training.”
In concerts in Charlefeton and
throughout Ue State Mr. Barrett has
packed the houses and received tre
mendous applause. He will be ac
companied by his pianist.

^Barnwell and surrounding country to
hear these artists.

Blackville Falls Before Denmark.
Dermark, Oct. 1,5.—In one of the
prettiest games of football ever
played on the local field, Denmark
today defeated Blackville, 144 to 6.
The game was a battle from start to
finish with every man for both teams
fighting to win. Denmark kicked off
to Blackville, who was forced to punt
on the third down, Denmark taking
the ball on its 30-yard limit, carried
it to the eight-yard line but seemed
to lack the ndtessary punch to carry
it over. Denmark clearly outplayed
Blackville in the first half but failed
to put over u touchdown. In secor.d
half Denmark started a drive that
could not be stopped, which resulted
in a touchdown for Denmark, while
J. Collins and Bessinger did most of
the grourd gaining. Collins tore the
Blackville line to shreds, making gain
after gain. Magruder, Hair and
Hammond played best for Blackville.
Blackville made 4 first downs and
Denmark 17. Denmark plays Barn
well here October 22.

Cut Cotton Stalks
S*y» County Agent
Practically *11 cotton fields have
been placed dean and many farmers
appreciate the value of destroying the
stalks. It is true that the price of
cotton is very low and the farmers
are very much disconraged, at tho
same time we should make every ef
fort to produce the largest yield pos
sible per sere on the land that we do
plant next year. If you will destroy
i'all cotton stalks the damage from
. the boll weevil will be greatly re-
• duced.
While the destruction of stalks is
going on, a fine opportunity is offered
to sow such crops as rye, oats and
vetch, which can be turned back into
the' soil, ctatfoii haynrallaw to ma
ture for seed. Let’s get busy, des
troy stalks, plant grain and plan to
plant a small acreage of cotton, which
should be well fertilised in order to
secure large yields at small cost.—
