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. Captain
Black goes the distinction of paying
off the depositors 100 per cent, on the

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.

Back From Leave.
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
