PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY ! State of South Carolina, County of Barnwell To His Honor, .fudge H. F. Ricr: We, the members of the grand Jury of Barnwell County, make the follow ing presentment: We have visited the Jail and found the same 'n verv good condition There was a charge against the Sheriff brought before us that said Sheriff waa working sentenced persons for his per sonal benefit and paying them regular wages. We Investigated this charge and found It was without foundation, but we recommend that all person*, both before and after sentence, be con fined in the jail. We further recommend that the Court House Top be repainted. Wo further recommend that the Honorable Judges expedite the busi ness of the Court as much as possible and not allow the Lawyers to continue their cases without the best of reasons. We realize that '.his la a delicate sub ject for us to touch on, but hearing In mind the burden of taxation under which our citizens are staggering anil the frequent and costly terms of Court, we deem It ouf dury to urge that this department of our government be car ried on In 4 strict and businesslike manner.

Thirty year* ago and more thougiii mi mad facilities were much behind those of ilce present time peach grow ing for shipment was often a profitable husine** fmm Klko to Aiken. Ho wl*.- and careful a business man a* the late K'qnlre John G. Smith of Wllllston told ttie w riter that it [laid to keep a peach urchard if one could get a good crop ami satisfactory pilce* once In seven years. But laud w as not so high priced ihen s* now, nor waa cotton a* niHch i f a selfish king a* In theae days. Ann her Willlaton farmer said that he had sold the fruit from ten peach tree* on hi* tow n lot for $100. and that amonni wms sufficient to pay for the culDva.Ion of fif'y acre* of cotton. But they were the great and good June peaches, as large as tea cup* and de licious in proportion. Such trees are now few and far between, So many new ami destructive Insect enemies and disease* have been introduced In tip* section by the Importation of fan cy tree* from out of-the-State nur series that fruit growing ta a much harder proposition than it used to he. Vet as fine fruit can he grown in this county now a- ever before, though It is more troublesome. A Soutlisld# farmer told ua recently that a visitor from the famous |>eafh, “Ridge,” sec tion of Edgefield and Lexington, who had been discoursing proudly of their splendid Alberta*, was much s*ton- l#hed when shown the peaches grown this year by Mr. Wllaon Bowers of the Fairiax section. They surpassed the Edgefield-Lexington fruit In Size and sweetne-s. And here Is the plan fol lowed hv Mr. Bower-: La*t September he had the earth dug up six Inches and thrown outside of a space about four feet square, with a peach tree In ft* centre. Then the soil at the bottoih of this little pit or excavation was dug up two or three Inches and left In a loose, pulverized condition. Next he put five gallons of water In an Iron pot and ern^tied a can of concentrated lye In the water. Then a fire was ma le around the pot and the wafer boiled until the lye was completely dissolved Then the hot water was dipped from the pot and poured In the loose earth In the excavation, care being taken to keep from scalding tbe tree. The ex cavation waa left open until Spring when be put a peck of unslaked lime In each excavation and had It mixed well with the loose ehrth. Our intormant told u* that Mr. Bow ers sold some of his peaches at five for a n-.iarter. He advised that the Bower* treat ment be tried on » small scale this Fall and nexj rtprlng and thinks that It may prove an effective cure for blight In peach, apple and pear trees. Flooring, Celling.
