The first sales were made by the Master, G. M. Greene, Esq. Sixty acms of farm land in the else of Vir- ginia-Carolina Chemical Co., vs. W H. Alderman et al., were first placed on the block. Notice was given bjf J. E. Owens that this property was sold by Sheriff C. K. Sanders several years ago for-taxes, the deed there for being exhibited. The land was bid in by H. L. O’Bannon, attorney, for $100. In the case of Atlantic Life In surance Co. vs. Emmett R. Cail, et al., involving a residence on Main "Street, lively bidding ensued between J. C. Staley and a representative:of Mrs, Olaree Cail. Starting at $2700,-the price arose in amounts of fom $1.00 to 100 until It was finally knocked down to Mra. Cail for $3,701. In the case of Eva D. Calhoun vs. H. D. Calhouiv et al., 478 acres of larid in Red Oak township, known as the Cherry Hill place, were bought by Thos. M.

All eight of the men were lodged in the Barnwell County jail and the still' was destroy ed. A pathetic incident in connection with the arrest occurred Sunday after noon, when H. R. ("Fargo”) Morris died suddenly from heart failure. He was 72 years of age and had been a farmer all of his life. While It was generally known that he drank liquor, many of his friends were greatly sur prised to know that he had been ar rested. on a charge of violating the prohibition law and refused to be- believe that he was connected with the liquor traffic. Doubts were freely expressed here Monday as to his con viction on such a charge had he lived to face trial. His body as laid to rest the following day.

Nov. *18.—Allendale at Allendale. Th^ County Board of Agriculture, consisting of twelve farmers from dif ferent sections, met on Tuesday after noon of this week. The main and most important alter for discussion waa the fall killing of cotton stalks. Realizing the importance of early de struction, plans are being made for a vigorous campaign for everybody to kill stalks at once. Experiments in this State . show where weevils are put into winter quarters prior to October 1st only .022 per cent survived the winter. Between October 1st and 15th .192 city waj the first property offered for sale and was bought by Brown and Buah for $4,025. A lot and buildings in the town of Snelllng brought $625, the successful bidder being Furman Hill. Perhaps the liveli eat bidding of the day occurred when the residence of Harry D. Calhoun was offered for sale. The receiver announced that the residence and the tenant houses would first be sok separately and then offered as whole, the highest bid being accepted Brisk bidding immediately developec between Mr. Calhoun and Lloyd A Plexico. The first offer was $2^000. which was immediatelyvraieed to $3,- 000, being finally knocked down to Mr. Plexico for $5,400. The tenant houses were bid in by Mr. Calhoun for $1,500. The two pieces of proper ty were then auctioned as a whole, being finally bid in by Mr. Plexieo for $7,050, which was $150 more than they brought separately. It is un derstood that L. Cohen purchased the tenant houses and Mr. Plexico the residence. Brother of Barnwell Man Raises Finn Litter of Ptga at Remarkably \ , Small Coat. Resolution Adopted News was received in Barnwell Sunday night of the unexpected death in Tampa, Fla., of Ural C. Partlow. He was a brother-in-law of V. S. Owens, Esq., and Mrs. W. M. Jones, having married their sister, Miss Nan nie Owens. The funeral party ar rived in Barnwell early Tuesday morning, and the services were con ducted at the Baptist parsonage at noon by the Rev. L. H. Miller, after which interment was made in the Wil liston cemetery. Mr. Partlow was -a native of York County and spent the best part of his ; life in Rock Hill. A number^of his 1 business associates and friends in that city came down to the funeral. For | a few years before his death he had been a member of I. Ml Partlow and Co., furniture dealers in Tampa, Fla. | In addition to hip wife, he leaves five brothers and three sisters. -from October 16th .592 per cent survived, while the survival of those caged from November 1st to 13th was 2.45 per cent. Similar re sults have been obtained elsewhere. Thus may be seen the benefits to be derived from the early killing of stalks. Every farmer, banker, merchant and business man should get behind this movement and help put it across. The County Board of Agriculture and the County Agent urge everybody to get busy. There is a wonderful opportunity during the next ten days. Get busy. Every farmer should make it v his business to destroy his stalks at onoe and at the same time insist on his ‘neighbor doing the same.

Important Meeting. Announcment is made that an im portant meeting of the Barnwell School Improvement Association will be held Tuesday afternoon, October 18th, at four o’clock at the school audi. torium. The same evening at eight W. D. Connor of Orangeburg Coon* ty, who is a brother of A. D. Connor, of Barnwell, is apparently the first prise winner in the State ton-litter conteet. The latter went over to Orangeburg Saturday, at which time the former’s litter of 14 grade Poland China pigs were weighed. The official weight was recorded at 3,182 pounds, the pigs being only six months old. The nearest competitor in the State wide competition thus far announced was in Edgefield at 2,962 pounds. There were more than a hundred farmers from various sections of the oounty present at the official weighing Saturday afternoon. A guessing con teet was conducted aa to the weight and 101 estimates wore entered. Several prizes were offered for the nearest estimates. One prise was a miniature pig carved in wood, the work of Mr. Connor. At the age of seven weeks, when the pigs were weaned, their total weight eras 268 pounds. Frees that timanp until tk^nal walghing,- fe record shows that the cost of feed for the litter totaled $148. This rep. resents about 6 cents per the coat of producing this Ht$er of hogs. Mr./Connor, the owner of this lit* .ter, said that the profit from this lit* ter represents considerably more than can be realised out of cotton. This litter, together with the ethers fa that county that were entered in the dontedb, proves conclusively the profits possible in live stock in thie section. There were 16 litters entered in that count? in the State conest. Here are two others yet to be weigh* ed, and while several excellent records ve been made, the record of Mr. Connor seems to be the beat recorded in this State.
