Captain William Dunbar Black. one of Williston’s most beloved and valuable citizens, Captain William Dunbar Black, was a cloud that cast itself over the entire community at the very start of the New Year. Be sides his family, his death is mourned by many friends over the entire town, I boys and girls: county and State, ali of which he served well during his entire life. Captain Black was bom in Millett- ville, S. €., on September 8, 1870, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Black. At thA early age of twelve, he secured his lirst position, and throughout life he was fortified with this early experience and truly ex emplified to others the real and literal meaning of self-made men. At the age of twenty-three, he wooed and won the hand of Miss Sara Bailey, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. , W. Bailey, of Ellenton. To them were bom two boys and two girls, Edward, Harvey, Louise and Anna Baker. The devotion of Capt. Black to his family was significant. His life was spent with and for them, thus depicting his sense of obligation as a father and his pleasure in rearing his family. Politics, whether local, county, State or National, always commanded his attention. In 1898 he was elected to the South Caroina legislature and served one tferm, resigning to accept a position with the South Carolina Penitentiary Board as Secretary and Treasurer. The tenure of this office lasted seven years and was terminated solely in order that he could devote his time and efforts toward the im provement of his health, which called for outside activities. He purchased farms in the Willis- ton area and moved there in 1907. Up until his death he was active in local business and civic affairs. He served as President of the Farmers and Merchants’ Bank of Wiliston, and during the depression, when banks were failing in every State, this in stitution was closed. To.

COG Camp, Jan. 11—Twenty new men are expected to arrive at Camp P-70 today, (Monday, Jan. 11.) We do not know where they will hail from nor what time they will arrive, but our guess is that it will be on the late train from Columbia at night All our new recruits have come in that way. Our company strength is now about a hundred and sixty. Of these forty odd are at the side camp, and around It is reputed that this move cost him thousands of dollars, and again typi- Aes his sense of obligation. Above all, it was indicative of his "Love thy neighbor’’ attitude, in that a personal loss was to be preferred to a loss that would affect so many homes. His twenty odd years on the Willis- ton School Board bespeaks itself for his regard for education. He strove untiringly in behalf of school inter ests. Much of his time was devoted to school affairs and the building of a system which today ranks with the best in the State. This is indeed a befitting monument to him and his co workers. Besides being a member.* of the South Carolina legislature, Captain Black served as mayor of Williston, vice-chairman of the Barnwell County Democratic club, chairman of the Wil liston Democratic club, and # member of the Barnwell County Board of Di rectors. He has been a delegate to and attended every State convention for the past forty-five years, a post which acclaims him as one of the most active workers for his political party. Twice Worshipful Master of the Williston Masonic Lodge, Captanrj*' Black was one of the Order’s most able and active members. He was a devoted raember of the Williston Bap tist Church. » A fitting memorial, which Captain Back lived to see dedicated, is the Black Crossing bridge over the Edisto River on the Springfield-Williston Highway. This bridge was named for him because of his productive efforts in behalf of good roads in general and in his own county. * Captain Black is survived by his wife, three children: Harvey M. Black, of Williston; Mrs. Byron Wham, of Blackville; Mrs. Fred T. Wiggins, of Birmingham, Ala.; seven grandchil dren, one brother, Paul Black, of Mil- letteville, and one sister, Mrs. B. W. Peeples, of Meyer’s Mill. With his loved ones, his friends mourn, and while the light of his life is extinguished, the influence of his courageous life will forever leave its mark indelibly written on the lives of those who- knew him.—A Friend.

On Sunday night, January 10th, Lieutenant Cobble and Mr. Murray both arrived back in camp after a week’s leave. Mr. Murray spent his time in Summerville, at his home,and Lieutenant Cobble and Mrs. Cobble were in Atlanta. Skull Found in Swamp. A human skull found in a thicket between Elko and Barnwell by one of work crews has excited considerable talk about camp. All sorts of stories have started from various guesses as to how it got there. There was con siderable argument as to whether it was the skull of a white man or a negro. No other bones were found, but a few horses’ teeth have been placed with the skull in the display cabinet in the schoolhouse. Inspection. Captain Hindman, instructor-inspec tor of the army, was by for an inspec tion Monday. He seemed to find things in excellent shape. Basketball Victories. ■ • 1 Barnwell won two easy victories from the Edisto Island Camp Team at St Paul’s High School gym, in a double header there Saturday. The boys from the island had had little practice, and proved easy pickings for the locals, who were bigger and bet ter in every way. In the first game every man who made the trip got a chance to play. The score could have been run up con siderably more if it had not been for this. The score of this game was 37-12. The 2nd game was made unusually short, and both teams were tired. The score then was 11-3. Unfortunately, John P. Cole sprained an ankle in this game, and may be out for the rest of the season, as well as being on the sick book for several days. A number of boys went to Black ville Friday night to see the Black ville girls and boys play Williston- Elko. Mr. Bryan and “Peavine” Teal refereed the boys’ game. Arrangements have been made for our team to practice with Mr. De Hynds’ Blackville High squad on Mon- day and Thursday nights, and for us .a&e.
