I"M' ' THURSDAY, MAY 1ITH, 1M7. J. L. Mims. Once more the Grim Reaper has struck in the midst of the followers of the Fourth Estate, and early Fri day afternoon J. L. Mims, editor of The Edgefield Advertiser for the past 36 years, answered the last summons. In the passing of this truly good man, South Carolina has lost an out standing citizen of the very highest type. He exemplified our conception of a straightforward, Christian gen tleman of the old school—the type of man that every community needs, and sorely misses when he passes on to his reward. He was a deep thinker on all subjects touching the welfare of his fellowman, but expressed his strong convictions in such terms as Would not offend those who differed with his views. Like many weekly newspaper men, however, he did not resp financial re wards commensurate with his mental ability and editorial efforts. In spite of this he was generous with his con tributions to those in less fortunate circumstances and it was characteris tic of the man that, from his sick bed in the Baptist hospital, only a few days before his death, he dictated an appeal for contributiona to that insti tution, as well as to two churches in his home county of Edgefield, promis- ing to make a personal donation to the hospital “when I am permitted to return to Edgefield.” That appeal was, perhaps his last editorial effort. Mr. Mims was well known to and loved by his fellow members of the Sooth Carolina Press Association, of which organization he was a former president, and his wise counsel on matters pertaining to the press of the State was sought and followed. He will be sorely missed at the an nual (rathe rings The association shares in the loss sustained by his bereaved family ani the State at large. The world is better for hia having lived in it Barnwell Cucumber Crop Near Maturity Acreage Reported One-Third Of, but Growers Expect Oood Returns from Produce. Within the very near future Barn well County and the aurroundiny pro duce sections will begin gathering cucumbers. Although it is reported that the acreage in this county is off about one-third as compared with laat year, “cukea” are expected to agaun bring new and welcome outside money into the county. Local produce dealers estimate that each year approximately $260,000 pour into Barnwell County alone for the cucumber crop. Most of the small farmers, who borrow through the seed loan agency or some similar crop financing organization use a part of this money to apply on their loan. The cucumber crop was damaged to some extent by the late frosts and in a great many instances complete re planting has been necessary. How ever it is said the stand is about nor mal for this time of year and the pro duct will probably start pouring into the Northern market as early as in other years. The asparagus season will probably run longer than last as the market is holding up better than in the past couple of years. Cucum bers will follow closely on the close of the asparagus season. There are reports of the possibility of a change from the system of pack ing sheds, operated by produce deal ers to the sale of cucumbers on an auction market. Each plan has its advantages and disadvantages ac cording to those familiar with the subject. If sold at auction, a dealei* could buy only when he had a car sold, but on the other hand, the fact that a dealers had a car sold might tend to run the price up at that particular time, it is said. Packing sheds generally take care of all the produce brought in each day, producers state, whereas the auc tion markeCmight mean that on some days practically no truck would be moved. The auction market, how ever, has worked out to advantage in some places just as the packing shed has proved more advantageous in •Cher towns. With the completion of the Gem ■on collage experiment station at Reynolda, in Barnwell Comity, soil snalysaa will be made and the proper fertflixera will be prescribed for gofw farted crops. This station was located in Barn well through an act of the general as sembly and through the efforts of the Barnwell County delegation. After asparagus and cucmber sea sons the truck season runs on into the cantaloupes and watermelons. Delk Twins, Celebrate Birthday. E. E. Delk and E. J. Delk, twin brothers, celebrated their 46th birth day with a dinner at their home in the Friendship Church section last Sunday. About one hundred guests were present to enjoy the hospitality of the Delk brothers. Barbecue, chickens, hems and other delicious foods were served on the bountiful table. The Rev. Hughes led the as sembled guests in prayer prior to the serving of dinner. , Mrs. W. S. Creech. Olsr, May 10.—Mrs. Ida Morris Creech, 60, died at her home in Olar Friday afternoon.
