PRIZE COTTON CONTEST.
Buckeye Cotton OIL Company Of
fers Prize for Ten Acre Yield.

Mr. D ] Epps, who represents the
Buckeye Cotton Oil Co in this terri
tory, informs US that his company
has recently announced that it will
give three cash prizes agregating
SITS for the biggest yield produced
on ten acres of cotton anywhere in
the Augusta district which includes
the Southeastern part of this State
and a small part of Georgia. The
prizes will be awarded for the first,
second and third biggest crops grown
on ten acres in this district. 1t is
fair and square offer, no strings at
tached, and any farmer is eligible
to enter the contest.
While cotton crops are not up to
the average, that should not dis
courage farmers from competing
for these prizes, as the same condi-
ton obtains throughout the entire
district. No entries will be consid-
cred after August /, so there is
no time to lose. Application blanks
and the simple rules of the contest
may be obtained by applying either
to Mr. D ] Epps here. or to the
Buckeye Cotton OIL Co, Augusta, Ga.
1t would be a splendid advertise
ment for Williamsburg if our farm
ers could win one or more of these
prizes.

meetings. We never live to learn it
all. Watch Georgetown county

justasshe has done with public roads.
Quite number of our people in
the Moody and Oak Ridge sections
have given up their crops and gone
to lumber mills in different parts of
Georgia to work for wages, their
crops being total failures. In some
sections of this low country it is GER
tainly a serious outlook and the
farmer and merchant alike will find
it hard this fall to meet their obli-
cations.

not going to be annexed to some
other county and We assure you we
are rot going to fight over it.

Close and Exciting Game Marrcd
by Over-Much Kicking,

Benson. July 18:-Saturday was q.
red letter day for the baseball FANS,
being the day when the "Dauntless'''
team, of Beulah, again appeared on,
the Benson diamond. The game was
close until the third or fourth in

that stage of the game the Daunt-

umpire, contested the width of the,
home base and sprung several other
baseball technicalities, which delayed
the playing, making the last part of
the game not very interesting. The

Mr. C S Graham presented US with

A few summers ago the writer priced
peaches at a fruit stand in Riverside
Park, Asheville, N C, and was told
that the best were five cents each
and the cheapest four for five cents.
Upon asking where the best were
grown he received the reply, Spring
Hill, South Carolina. Now, these
peaches Mr. Graham gave US were
equal to the best of those seen at
Asheville, and demonstrates what
can be done in this section. If our
people would give their orchards
even half attention the results
would be astonishing. This soil and
climate are suited especially to
peaches. Drain theSland, which is
an absolute requisite, learn to keep
nitrogenous fertilizers away from
the trees and manure with potash
only, and learn to get rid of noxious
worms, and to keep only young
trees and set these close together,
and you have made start in the
right direction. When the start is
made, be sure to keep on. Remem-

promise was made only after weeks

thing for Lake City, which has done
so much for the company and asked

now, and as is we'll known, this is
the lowest grade of tobacco put on
the market. Up to a few years ago
it was thrown away as worthless.
Now it is sold in considerable guam

average about five cents per pound.
Last Friday sixty thousand pounds

were above eighteen per cent. on
the entire capital stock. This would
be satisfactory showing for any
bank, but considered in connection
with the fact that this bank has been
doing business on half its capital, the
other half having been stolen, the
showing is especially fine. The US
ual dividend of eight per cent. was
declared and the remainder Of the
earnings was passed to the surplus
fund. For the seven years of its

Burglars Came in Motor Boat.

Richmond, Me, Nov. 27.-(SpeciaD.-
The First National Bank of Richmond
was entered by burglars sometime
around o'clock Saturday morning and
three attempts were made to blow omen
the vault. Tie cracksmen failed to get
at the contents of the vault, the explo-
slons merely forcing open the outer
casing of the dor and ripping off part
of the first sheet of steel
The only clue so far in the case is
that earlier in the night several peo-
PIE mad heard motor boat come down
tie river. This clue was given strength
by the fact that John Morton. Nigh.
Waterman at the Richmond yarn
mills, heard motor boat leave about

inquiries about the town nightwatch-

tained of the strangers owing to the
darkness. They are generally regarded
as having something to do with the
break.
5. T.. SandShurgc Il safe expert from

three distinct crashes about 10 min

about 100 or $50 feet from the Bank

cause he thought the racket was
caused by some foreigners fighting in

to get mixed up in it.
