The guests of the Molair House en joyed the first lettuce of the season Monday. Our city fathers will build a new bridge over Turkey Creek this spring. At a meeting in Blackville of Com pany “B ” 2nd S. C. Artillery, the following gentlemen were named as permanent officers of the organiza tion: J. W. Lancaster, president; Rev. H. L. Baggott, 1st vice-president; W. R. Delk, 2md l v ice-president {-Patrick- father of Bates, 3rd.vice-presidentp W. T. Ray, secretary; H. C. Chitty, treasurer. Each member was requested to get a list of all who were w r un led or killed in each Battle or who died of wounds or disease, when and where. Deaths.—Near Barnwell, of heart disease, cn the 19th inst., Mrs. August Schneider. Near Elko, of bilious pneumonia, on the 15th inst. ,Mr. Benjamin R. Wat son. aged 66 years.

The continuihg lack cf rain has de layed the thorough breaking of hard clay and stiff bottom lands. Mr. Ignats Keeler, of Healing Spring®, sustained a heavy loss and only partially insured on the 6th inst. by the burning, cf his kitchen, tool, chicken and syrup outhouses. . The fire caught while the family was at dinner, supposedly from the syrup house, which \vas also used as a laun dry. “The Menace cf 1 the Boll Weevil” was the text and message of the warn ing address' macle before the Saltke- hatchie Agricultural Club on Friday by Prof. James Henry Rice, Secretary of the State Audubon Society for Bird Protection. Mr. Edmondl M. Cope, aged 79 years died at 12:15 o’clock Friday morning at his home at Ulmer. He was the i pre ceded him to the grave." Pecan nuts sent from Texas in 1857 by Prof. L. N. Bellinger to relatives in South Carolina were planted in the north-eastern section o’f eld Barnwell District. Numbers of the trees still live in perfect health and are constant ly productive. On the Pinkney planta tion near Bamberg, now owned by Major G. Frank Bamberg, the trunks of some of the trees grown from these Texas pecans new measure full six feet in diameter. ! The conclusion is very strong that Prof. Bellinger was the pioneer of pecan growing in South Carolina. Triple “C” News Notes Tree Planting Finished. On Kri by, March 20, the* last of the* seedlings to Ik* set out by the Ixtys in Barnwell County were planted. The total number planted was in the neigh- 1> rhood of two hundred and fifty thousand. We hope and believe these will be a valuable asset to Barnwell County 20 ood years from now. Three Years of CCC April 5tH is the date of the third anniversary of the establishment of the CCC. The tree planting is a small sample of the kind of work that has been done fr m Maine to Key West, from Alaska to New Mexico, during the last three years.
