f ao* rou*. IBB BARNWELL PBOPLB-BKNTINEL, BARN*ELL, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MAY 25TH, 1933 Barnwell 50 and 25 Years Ago. Interestinx Ite*» Gleaned From the File* of The Barnwell People. MAY 24, 1883. White frost was seen at Mr. John J. Whaley’s, Reeves Creek mill on last Thursday. The younf? people of Blackville had a pleasant picnic at Hcffernan's Healing Springs on Tuesday. Crops are two weeks behind time. Truck and oats crops have been con siderably injured, by the drought. On next Saturday a carload of cabbage and potatoes will be shipped Westward from Elko and Williston. A life-long resident of Bamwell-says there is less gambling in town now than at any previous period within his recollection, and he is getting pretty gray. Mr. W. C. Beck, of White Pond, made the first shipment of Carolina peaches to Charleston on last Satur day. They were of the Japanese variety and sold readily at fifty cents per dozen. Three men and two bears visited Barnwell Saturday and gathered a harvest of nickels. The bears were well trained in human ways and dis played great skill in emptying beer bottles. We inspected on Thursday last the new factory building of Col. W. W. Willis on Spurr Branch. It is two stories high, measures 40 by 60 feet and is most substantially built. Mr. Louis Seideman, the contractor, is a first class workman and the new house is a credit to him and to the county. Judge Cunningham was charmed with the Williston country. In pri vate conversation he admitted that it was superior to Georgia as a fruit growing section. He thinks the ladies there could get rich shipping bou quets in the refrigerator cars to Chicago. They would reach there as fresh as when plucked and sell like hot cakes. MAY 21, 1908 County Statistic^.—Auditor J. C. Keel has furnished us an instructive sheet from which we take these inter esting facts: The county contains 553,r>40 acres of land, valued at $1,- 877,340, with 10,094 buildings, value $38,319. In towns and villages there are 1,708 lots, valued at $144,535, with 1,491 buildings, value $$376,955. Total value of all real property is $2,- 736,474. The total value of all taxable personal property is $3,228,035. The grand total of real and personal is $5,964,510. In the county there are returned for taxation 2,484 dogs, 4,- 223 cattle, 4,301 mules, 2,037 horses, 347 sheep and goats, 6,719 hogs, 252 watches, 571 pianos, etc., 4,663 vehi cles, merchandise amounting to $69,- 555, machinery $72,895, money $11,- 790. There are 5,788 men in the county liable to poll tax. The State, school and county taxes amount to $67,317.88. Mr. Sam Woodward handed us on the 14th inst. the first cotton form reported in the State. A saw mill man recently remarked laughingly to a Barnwell buyer: “I cut the lumber to fill your order from one pine tree, and my bill for the same is $21.” The charge was'reason able for quantity and quality of the material and the transaction is men tioned to show the great value of the little timber left. Farmer J. D. Whittle has the finest oat crop in the State, perhaps in the South. It is not a pet patch either, for on 270 acres they are as thick as they can stand, higher than a buggy shaft and all with big heads. Blackville News:—Mr. D. P. Johnson has been elected a warden of the town to fill the vacancy caused by the ie- moval to Newberry of Mr. Boylston. Cucumber shipments will coih- mence soon. f Pine Logs Wanted!

The Sylphs short field man sent his team into a 5-5 tie with Barnwell in the last half of the ninth when he knocked a long drive to centerfield that missed the fielder’s head by 10 feet and rolled back against the fence for a home run. Hodges scored ahead of him and the game went into extra innings.
