Calhoun, in introducing reso lutions, recalled that the great seal of State was thrown into the Savan nah river to hide it from Federal sol diers who were trailing Jefferson Davie and his party, : Col. Calhoun told of the last meet ing of the Confederate cabinet at Abbeville in the home of Major Ar- mietead Burt. There, it is said, the President of the Confederacy and his cabinet decided to drop the, seal into the river as they croesed on the ferry from South Carolina into Georgia. It was first decided, legend says, to jput the seal in Mr. Burt's well, but fear that some servant would see it and tell the secret led them to con clude to above it overboard in the river. The Burt home is still stand ing at Abbeville and is owned and oc cupied by J. S. Starke. Plans as outlined at the conven tion today would have the committee interview persons who remember the flight of the Confederate chieftain and those who remember stories, told them by their parents about the last cabinet meeting in Abbeville and of the trip at night across the Savannah rivefr. Foremost among. these is Mrs. Fannie Calhoun Marshall,, aged ninety-five, of Abbeville. Col. Calhoun also suggested con ferences with engineers as to how the river could be dredged in a way to reveal the seal. He explained that the weight of the seal would keep it from moving far from the place at which it was dumped. The weight has been estimated as from 500 to 2,000 pounds. If recovered the seal, Calhoun said, would not be the- property of South Carolina, but of the thirteen States in the. Confed eracy. He expressed the wish that if the Sons of Veterans are 5<Uccess- ful in their search it be placed on Secession Hill at Abbeville. Side of In growing corn in the lower p*rt Crop* fat thia section—especially of South Carolina tha best farmers have found that where the crop is planted following that of lottbn a side application of phosphoric and potash does not p«y. They have also found that ithe qifickly available mineral types «f ammonia, have given the largest gain at the most reason able cost, and it is advised that such fertilizer as sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda be used in fertilizing corn where grown Allowing cotton. The amount that is most profitable to. apply to com is largely determmin- ed by the character of the soil and the distance of planting. For the aver age of the. county 50 to 100 pounds euiph&te of anunounia or 100 to 140 pounds of nitrate of soda will give the most profitable returns. These fertilizers should be applied depend ing upon the amlcunt used, one ap plication if the smaller—amount—is" dreds of acres used and make two applications if the larger quantity is to be applied. The time of applying is determined by the e ndition of the crop and will (be found to be about the time the corn hunches to tassel. High Winch* Damage This County** Crop* young cotton, cucumbers and water melon*—were more or less damaged by ihe high winds of the past levera. daya The greatest damage was done Sunday, when the wind seemed to reach its maximum velocity, be tween the hours of ten o’clock a* m. and four p. m. Cotton planted, on light sandy lands suffered the most damage, but forunately many farm ers had learned from experience of last year and had planted the moat exposed places in crops other than cotton. The day recalled that exactly one year ago considerable damage was dohe to crops throughout this sec- ion. Beginning Saturday afternoon, M,ay 15th, 1926, following a light rain, the wind blew all of that night and most of the following day. Hun- < 0 Ml I4M I 0 8 0 0 0 0 >4 > Think Now pf --v.

The aide application -uf ammonia to cotton has also been found t 0, b^ profitable, 100 to 200 pounds of ni trate of soda, 75 to 150 pounds of sulphate of ammonia or its equiva lent in other forms will be found to be most profitable. Make applications of the above about two weeks after chopping ex cept on soil which is very sandy; in such cases^-a divided application pro bably two'weeks apart will no doubt give approximately the same increase in yield as 100 pounds of nitrate of soda. With the prices of the two being about the same, it can readily be seen that a saving will result from the use of sulphate of ammonia. — H. G. Boylston,' Co. :Agcnt. Closing Exercises aCKIlne.

Foolin’ The fight for business leadership is no monkey business in this day and age, as is evidenced by the latest report from commer cial center8 — and which has to do directly with the future of towns exactly the size of BARNWELL. ^ v . It has been learned that the big mail order houses now maintain a department, the duty of whose staff is to read weekly newspapers from all over, the country and continually make a survey of the different districts to learn of mail-order selling possi bilities. And, it is a fact - that immediately that department finds a town or Cbuntry wherein the local merchants are not using the local paper to advertise their merchandise to the :rade - ^that district is iirimediately flooded with catalogues~because it is virgin terri tory and the mail-order houses have learned that they can do GOOD business there. 'We pass this information along to busi ness leaders of BARNWELL and assure them that all of our support is of course with them. We maintain ’ a local advertising service which can be used to advantage -- and for such service we make no extra charge. ,Come in or ’ph° ne and we will call. Business goes to those who go after it.
