Mixson, the champion melon grower, has sold this season over four hundred pounds of water melon seeds for $1.25 a pound. Capt. J. W. Woodward gives us the pleasant assurance that the prospects for a glorious Fair next fall are booming like a Mississippi freshet. Mr. E. W. Nance, formerly editor of the Elko Hawkeye, has established a flourishing terrapin trade with Charleston. He makes weekly ship ments and realizes an average profit of two dollars per dozen. He says it pays better than the newspaper busi ness. An early change in the schedule of the Barnwell Railroad i 9 promised. The afternon train will leave Barn well at 4:30 p. m., giving to roundtrip passengers an hou^ and a half in Blackville. The change is proposed specially for ladies whb may wish to go shopping in our “commercial me tropolis.” Friday night Mr. Lewis Creech was knocked down and robbed on Marlboro Street by colored assailants of a small amount of money and several valuable papers. On Sunday night Daniel Grant and Caroline Brown, both colored, were arrested and lodged in jail to await trial for the crime at the April term. Four scribes are now regularly em ployed in the Clerk’s office. One is occupied in filing lien 8 and the others are busy in recording hills of sale and mortgages to secure payment for advances. Credit is too abundant, but farmers are presumed to know their own business best, ami if they and the merchants can stand it the rest of the world can. On the 15th inst., Bethany, the eight-year old daughter of Martha Middleton, colored, caught fire from a torch with which she was lighting trash heaps on Mr. W. F.

Thomas announces his c’hndidacy for sheriff today. “Look out for frost about the mid dle of April,” say 8 one of the surest Barnwell prophets. Col. William W. Moore is the first candidate to announce himself in this year’s primary campaign. (He was a candidate for the office of sheriff.) The summerlike weather is sprout ing the thoughts cf the fishermen toward the haunts of the trout and jack. This one thing is very sure, that there never has been an overplant ing of corn, and there will not be this year. There is alway s something to be thankful for. The carnival left on Sunday and blessed Brother Byrnes came on Monday. The physicians of the county will meet tomorrow to organize a Medical Association. Essays will be read by Drs. A. B. Patterson and N. F. Kirk land, Jr. “Uncle Henry” Butler, one of the oldest and best colored men of Barn well, died on Monday. Like all of his name and family he bore a good name and was an honor to his race. At the regular meeting of the Town Council of Barnwell on Thurs^ day, James A. Willis, Esq., was elects ed to fill out the unexpired term of Mayor, and Dr. R. C. Kirkland was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Willis. We ate indeed glad to chronicle the home coming of Mr. and Mrs. Horace J. Crouch, who have dwelt awhile in Greenvil'e. Mr. Crouch will engaga in the mercantile business at Elko, and that community should give him and his charming and accomplished better half so good a welcome that they will never again think or even dream of going away.

Clemson College, March 18.—That hogs are produced in South Carolina on* less grain than is required in the West i 8 a significant fact to which Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of animal husbandry; calls attention, pointing out that this difference is due .partly to the climate but chiefly to the’use cf forage crops over a longer period of time. “For early spring grazing those who have alfalfa will be well supplied during April, May and the first half of June with an ideal forage for hogs,” Mr. Starkey says, outlining summer forage for swine and urging that farmers take advantage of our opportunity to produce plenty of for age crops. “On some soils it will not grow, making it necessary to resort to rape or to permanent pasture. If permanent pasture is used it should contain as many legumes as possible. “From the middle of June until September or until the spring pigs are finished for the market soybeans will furnish ample grazing. Two ob jections heretofore offered to soy beans as a grazing crop—first that the grazing period was too short; second, that they produced soft pork— have been overcome by grazing the beans green and using late-maturing varieties. The two varieties which seem best adapted for hog grazing are Biloxi and ^totrtan, and though there seem s to be little difference in these varieties, the Biloxi has proven superior. “Other summer foiages, such as Sudan grass, sorghum, millet, and cowpeas, have been used to same ex tent, but indications are that these summer forages are decidedly inferior to soybeans for hogs.’ Supt. W. W.^Carter attended the annual meeting of the South Carolina Teachers’ Association in Spartan burg last week. Legal Advertisements SHERIFF SALES.

Roose velt at Miami 33 days ago. “I no afraid of chair; don’t hold me,” Zangara taunted as two deputy sheriffs led him into the death cham ber at 9:10 a. m., and without further ado he took his place in the chair. “What, no pictures!” he asked with characteristic egotism. His head wa s so relatively small that attendants had difficulty adjust ing the death cap. « “Push the button!” he exclaimed, impatiently. Sheriff Dan Hardie, of Miami, whose duty it was to throw the switch, re plied: “Just a minute, Joe.” Finally, at 9:17 a. m. the switch was thrown, sending 2,200 volts through the 105 pound ^cly and cutting short a Anal, boastful “good-bye.” Nine minutes late Zangara was of ficially pronounced dead.
