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. ,

Y OU hear a lot about “the low-price fiekFtheue
days. A good many car* claim to be in it*
J So whenever the low-price field is mentionedy
I remember:
Until Ford came, no average American could
r. ' - - ■
own a ear.
Today all Ford price# are still low— with the
prices of the 60*horsepower Ford V-8 $30 to
$60 lower than those of any other car of coat;
• '
parable slae.
Bat with Ford, “low price” doesn’t merely
mean low figures on the price tag. It means muck
more than that* It means low prices and low
costs all the car’s long life. Low prices for ser
vice — lor parts — and, above all, for operation.
Both Ford V-8 engine sixes are economical to
operate. The 85 horsepower gives greater gas
oline wiling-* this year than ever, and the M 6Cf^
delivers the highest mileage in Ford history.
Private owners, cab companies, fleet operators
all report that the “60” averages from 22 to 27
miles per gallon of gasoline.
