place last night at its first meeting of
the new year at city hall. Louis Smith

succeed James J. Flynn, who declined
a denomination for another year.

gard to these applications until after
the next meeting of the board which
will be held on Monday night jan
uary 10. three days after the country

Ben Holman Exchanged Shots With
so White Men at BlackvilIe.

Following a collision between an
automobile driven by Ben Holman,
colored, and another driven by Bel
ton flaming, a lynching was narrow
" averted in Blackville Sunday aft
ernoon. From what can be learned
here. Holman, who was under the in
fiuence of liquor, blamed Mr.. flaming
for the collision and cursed him in the
most vile terms. Being unarmed, Mr..
Tanning and several friends who were
in the car with him at the time, re-
turned to Blackville and told Of what
had happened. About so men, armed
with shot guns and rifles, went to
Holman's house and the negro open
ed fire on them. It is said that IL or
IS shots were exchanged. The local
Baptist pastor and a visiting minis
ter pleaded with the crowd not to
lynch the negro, who finally declared
his willingness to surrender to John
O'Gorman or John Farrell. He was
taken in custody and lodged in the
Barnwell jail by Sheriff Sanders, the
latter being informed that an at
tempt would probably be made Sun
day night to lynch the prisoner, hur-
ried him to the Orangeburg jail for
safe keeping. Holman is said to bear
a most unsavory reputation.-Barn-

MARKETING PEANUTS.
Suggestions From County Agent With
Reference to Hogs.

During the past year there has
been produced in this county large
crop Of peanuts. On account of the
low market price of peanuts the re-
turns from this crop will not be as
great as was expected. Therefore,
the farmers will take advantage of
another method of marketing their
peanuts, namely, through the pig
skin. On account of the prevailing
price of hogs and the outlook for a
steady demand for pork products, the
following facts and suggestions
should be of value.
The Alabama station (bulletin 206)
found that an acre of peanuts pro-
duced an average, Of two years trial.,
Of 1921 pounds of pork.
Valuing pork at 15c per pound,
peanuts at &C and peanut hay at SIS
per ton, it was found that an acre of
peanuts yielded $S1.32 when hogged
down, as against s66.29 when the
peanuts were harvested and market
ed (ayerage of two years trial. The
above figures do not include the cost
of labor for harvesting and market
ing the peanuts, which will make
hogging down of peanuts even more
profitable.
This same station found that when
unhulled peanuts were fed to hogs
in the pens 2.S pounds of peanuts
produced one pound of pork. On the
basis of the above figures an acre
of peanuts yielding 1000 pounds of
unhulled nuts, when harvested and
fed to hogs, should produce 357
pounds of pork. Valuing the pork at
15c per pound, the returns per acre
would be $3.50. To be equal to this
return peanuts would have to bring
more than sc on the market John
D. Brandon, county agent.
