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.

L —The—following dispatch •i r l:y
of Barnwell’s victory eve. the Sylphs:
Syivania, Ga., May 19.—A ball that
nailed a base runner between the
shoulder blades, then jumped over his
shoulder to roll beyond th rd base as
be played between the third base-
man and «the catcher, this afternoon
was the fluke / play that allowed
Rcokhaidt to cross the plate with
the winning run and break up a 12-
inning ball game between Barnwell
and Sylvania in the former’* favor
6 to 5./
Of the six runs that B'arnweil scored,
not more than three of them were
learned, and it was a heartbreaking
game for Smith, Sylph’s pitcher to
watch his teammates boot away as
they rolled up a total oi seven er
rors for the 12 innings.
The Sylphs hurler allowed 12 hits,
two ess than his team, mates bamed
otf of Gray and Gross, and f. r the
most paft^he kept them well scatter-
! ed. ^ ________
It was B okhardt, Carpenter, short-

rolled back against the fence for a
home run. Hodges scored ahead of
him and the game went into extra
innings.
