I * ? I .-i?H In speaking of a large delivery of j fertilizer made here last week by repre sentative:- of the F. S. Rcyster Fer- 1 t.lizer Company we stated that this 1 was the only fertilizer concern to ' : advertise its goods in The County Record this season. We were in error in this statement, for by refer- i t-nce to our files ve find that Mr. S. < H. Tift has several tir*es carried a ' fertilizer adveitisement in display i type. However when we wrote we 1 bad m mind only the large manufac- : turers o" feitilizer. 1 The Counvy Record will issue a special edition on April 6 in the inter- i est of the Tri-State Tobacco Growers' ( Co-operative Marketing association.

Our informant was not talking for puoucation and Mr. Godwin says that the adjuster made him no proposition of settlement. We learned since the above was put into type that Mr. Godwin's claims have been satisfactorily adjusted. Good Returns for Potatoea. County Agent Cathcart reports to u? that during the week a car of banked sweet potatoes was shipped from Gouruin to Richmond, Va., through the South Carolina Sweet Potato Association for Messrs J. P. Gamble, W. M. O'Bryan and S. A. Granam. The lot was composed of 322 c ne hundred pound sacks and netted the shippers $408.96, or an average of 76 cents the bushel. It will be understood tliat the price paid for banked potatoes is not as good as is commanded by cured potatoes. Week-end House Party.

Vera Smith, Elizabeth McElveen and Messrs Hertcrt and Liston Smith, Barnie Wiltnn Marvin HnPnco William fifltt'dv. Kalph McEIveen, Ehrlich Wallace and Eli Kennedy. All went on a straw ride to Black river, and there whiled uv/ay several pleasant hours. About sun-down the crowd was rammoned to assemble at a cozy spot where a deb'ghtful picnic lunch con:;rting of sand-wiches, cake and home made candy were served. This having been prepared by two of the girls, was an agreeable surprise to the others. On the homeward ride the happiness of the crowd was expressed by ihe singing of favorite songs. Arriving home about seven o'clock, these young folks found many more of their friends awaiting them. Together they enjoyed a play-party until eleven o'clock when each one reluctantly departed for his or her bome. The unique part about this good time is the enjoyment it afforded 'Court Crier" D. H. Smith, Miss Thelna's father, who has expressed himself as having had the best time of bis life. c John Carter, a negro barber of Denmark, about thirty-five years old, was spirited away from Bamberg Friday night following threats of a lynching.
