JULY IS. 1883.
Younjr Albert tyillia, of Sour
Branch, has cleared $75 on an acre
of cabbage. ^
Fifty-five car loads of melons have
been shipped from thia place up to
Tuesday nig^t.
Up to Saturday night shipments of
radons were 31 cam from Williston
and 65 from stations and sidings
wrkere there are no agencies.
TTie Governor has appointed G.
Duncan Bellinger, Esq., Master, vice
W. Gilm ore Simm£, resigned. The
resignation and appointment both
talce effect on the 1st of next\ Sep
tember.
Mr. F. W. Weathersbee, of Rich
land township, ha* fifty acres of up
land corn which will make twenty
bushels per acre. There are five
hi Us in the field that have matured
twemty-five full grown ears. In the
same township Mr. W. J. Hightower
•will make on a one-horse farm 9
hales of cotton and 200 bushels of
corn.*
The first through freight train
from this place to New York left
Barnwell on Saturday at 10 a. m.
and arrived in Gotham at 12 m. on
Monday, just 50 hours en route. It
is said that when passing through
Nurlh Carolina the people thought it
wa» a meteor or the tariff thjrt had
gat loose. It ran so rapidly that the
separate cars could not be seen and
the train locked like a solid body. The
train consisted ' of eight cars of
melon* earned by Mr. J. R. Easter
ling.
The bottom fell out of the water
melon market last week and growers
are decidedly blue. Unfortunately!
the Georgia and Carolina crops ripen-'
ed simultanenualy arvl all the markets
have been glutted. Those who*e crops)
come in later will fare better. We
still believe that there is more money (
in melons than in cotton and time
wHl prove it.
JULY 23, 1908.
Miss Jennie Pate leaves tomorrow
to spend the heated weeks in North
Carolina.
Here is good news for the schools.

ington has $13,550 in cash at the
beginning cf the school year for edu
cational put poses.
Mr. H. W. Quinn is the first Barn
well man to feed cotton seed meal to
his horse. At first Cupid did not
like the new ration, but has acquired
the taste and gladly eats all he
gets. Though fattening rapidly he
continues sedate and sensible enough
to be a family horse.
, Col. R. M. Mixson has resigned hisb
position with the N. C. and St. L.
Railway, and the resignation has been
accepted to take effect August 1st,
after which date Col. Mixson be
comes a plain farmer, that is, as
plain as one can be among the pro
gressive agriculturalists of Williston.
Rev. J. L. Harley, Superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League for this State,
delivered very strong and forceful
addresses favoring prohibition, in
the Baptist Church Sunday morning
and the Methodist Church in the
evening to large congregations
Mr. Harley has become onr
of the mc»t eloquent and ef
fective pulpit orators in the State,
and his Barnwell friends were glad to
have him here again. His assistant,
Rev. Mr. Reed, of Orangeburg, joined
him here.
In 1901 Elliott Browm, colored, and

Commissioner Jones
Opposes Agreement
Saye Proposed Code for Giaaers
Mease Charge of $7.60 a Bale
for Ginaiag ( otton.
Columbia, July 19.—Shortly after
South Carolina Ginnrr* today adopt
ed the tenta:|ve code of trade prac
tices for the industry*, J. Roy Jones,
State c mmi»»'.«ner of agriculture,
outl-nei plan* f> r a SnuthwlJe protest
•gainst the code.
June. i».*ued a statement saying
the tentative code, drafted at a rv-
.•«*r.t South-w.de ginm-rs meeting in
Memphis, propoited a “big increase”
in ginning puces. Hr sad he was
M as‘ured‘* by agriculture commission
ers ;n he cotton States that “they
would unite in a proteat meeting”
when the tentat.ve cod# comes up in
Wash.tig on for consideration.
Official, cf the State Ginners* a>»o-
ciaton stiu it probably was the last
remaining one to approve the code
and the code would be submitted next
week to Hugh S. Johnson, administra
tor of the national recovery act.
Jones said his statement had no
connect on with the State ginners’
meeting, but he would pretest strong
ly against any move “to take advan
tage of the times and inflate the price
of ginning and add another burden to
the cotton farmers.”
“The price set in the tentative draft
of the ginners,” he said, “is $5.63, plus
bagging and -ties, and plus a profit
percentage added to the whole. This
w-ould run the price of ginning one
bale of cctton to r.bout $7.60 or moie,
which is much higher than when cot
ton was selling at more than thirty
cents a pound.”
The agriculture commissioner said
his purpose was to do “everything
possible to insure the success of Presi
dent Roosevelt’s recovery program,”
and wanted to see the ginners “make
a reasonable return on their invest
ment,” but he saw no justification for
fixing “any such price as that propos
ed.”
Replies in Behalf of Ginners.
Replying to a statement issued by
Roy Jones, commissioner of agricul
ture, in which it was charged that the
ginners were organizing for the pur
pose of increasing unduly the price of
ginning, George DeLoach, of Colum
bia, president of the Ginners Associa
tion of South Carolina, has issued a
Statement In which he expressed the
willingness of the ginners of South
Carolina to abide by the price which
the National Industrial Recovery
board will ftx.

DF HIHt BUSINESS
Country Banker Gires Simpli
fied Picture of How a Bank
Works to Help Other
. People's Business
A COUNTRY Jianker recently pre-
** pared the following simplified
statement for hts neighbors on Just
how a bank goes about helping them:
“It la the most Important part of a
bank's business to lend money. Of all
the money deposited In a bank, the
law requires that a certain percentage
be kept on hand as a reserve to meet
the demands of depositors. It is the
business of Its officers to lend the bal
ance conservatively and safely.
“The'loans of a properly managed
bank are Invariably made to those it
beUeves are w able to repay, and always
on condition that they be repaid at a
stipulated time.
“The promise of an Individual to re-
pay a loan to a bank on a certain date
Isakwa^jedly Inviolable as the prom
ise of a barfth{o repay its depositors on
demand, or, inVhe case of a certificate
of deposit, on the date It falls due. When
it comes to be knewn of an individual
that he 'always pays,* his credit Is
established and his bank Is always
glad to extend him needed accommoda
tions.
“A well managed bank never capi
talizes industries. That is, It does not
place Us loans In fixed form, but puts
them where they are to be used for
temporary requirements, and where
they will be taken up at the time speci
fied.
How ■ Bank Lend*
"It Is not the function of a bank to
become a partner in Industries, nor
could It be legitimately done with the
money of depositors. Its loans must
be kept in 'liquid* form.—that Is, repay
able in cash at stated Intervals.
“A bank must use the greatest dis
crimination in making loans. A
stranger cannot expyct accommoda
tions. • It Is customary for the borrow
er to make a statement of his financial
affairs, which ia kept in the bank's
records. It Is a punishable offense to
make a false statement for the pur
pose of borrowing funds.
“Naturally, in their dealing with the
regular depositors. of the bank. Its
officers become well acquainted with
their characters and tbelr resources
sod are thus In a position to determine
bow large a line of credit each ona
la entitled ta That Is one of tha great
advantage# of being a bank depositor.
“The man who knows how to get
Into debt wisely, tbnt ta. who borrows
money with which to make more
ny>ney through legitimate enterprise.
Is the borrower whom the bask la
leokiag tor. py the frank Interchange
of opinion and • free diecuseloo of
varloee projects, the borrower Is often
guided and helped by his hanker.
"Ia order to procure a Use of credit
at a bank three things nm Important:
“L A statemont of assets showing a
basis of credit ta the way of Invested
capital, or collateral of saOcleat value
to cover amonat of loan, or
“1 An endorsee whose credit Is es
tabliahed at the bank, and
'*1. Average deposits of a sufficient
amount to Justify the estension of the
desired accommodation.**

Methodist Pastor Urges Attendance.
Having returned from our vacation
of two weeks to various points in
North Carotins, Virginia and West
Virginia, we are ready and anxious to
take up our work again here at home.
May I appeal to the memberg of
the Methodist Church to be in their
places at Sunday School and preaching
next Sunday?
The success cf your church depends
as much upon your regular attend
ance as upon that of your pastor.
Your presence help* you, ypur fellow
church member, and puts heart into
your minister, giving him success and
joy in his work.
Each of you resolve: “By divine
help, l will be in my place at Sunday
School and Prayer Meeting regularly
during the remainder of this confer
ence year.”

at the end of the fifth because of wet
grounds. Charlie Jeffcoat was hit
freely and hi* team mates made
numerous bobbles to allow Barnwell
to pile up a large score. On the
other hand, J. Gross kept his hits
well scattered and was aided by per

said Mr. DeLoach, “issued a statement
Wednesday night after our meeting
Wednesday stating that they were
perfectly willing to leave the matter
6f price fixation with the government
at Washington, and I wish to reiterate
this statement. We believe that the
Democratic administration desires to
do the fair thing by the ginners, the
farmers and the general public. The
administration at Washington has the
facilities with which to determne the
cost cf ginning in the past and wha:
it will be under whatever new regu
lations they may put upon ue and we
believe and expect they will treat us
just as they are going to treat every
other idustry. That is all we expect
and all that we ask. We believe that
is what the fajminded farmers and
people of the country generally ex
pect."

ESSOLENE is a distinct advance
over gasoline — an improvement
which any driver will easily notice
in any car. The composition that
has made this new motor fuel
possible was developed in the
greatest petroleum laboratories
in the world. It is protected by
U. S. Patent pending. Essolene
contains a special solvent oil
which cleans, keeps clean and in
proper working condition valve
stems, piston rings and piston
ring grooves. Essolene contains
no ordinary lubricating oil •
Words won’t run cars. But with
Essolene words are not necessary.
Make one simple, convincing test
—try Essolene once in your car,
under any condition you choose.
Essolene will speak for itself. We
ask only one thing. In fairness to
