The County Board of Commissioners held their Annual meeting on last Thursday to wind up the business of the, fiscal year ending October gist. k They found the county fh. excellent financial condition. The claims iii c | for the fiscal year amounted to about lT7,(hV). Of this amount some $2,000 had been spent iu equipping the chain gang and buying road tools. Front the balance brought over from 93 and 94 and the Dispensary fund about $13,000 lias been paid out, leaving some $4,000 to tie paid from the tax levy for !»4-!i5, which is as yet untouched. A large balance will be carried forward to the credit of the county, which wBf be available to pay cash after January 1st. 1 he following preamble and resolu tions, offered by Commissioner I). W. Bodiford of Blackville township, were adopted, and ordered served on the Barnwell delegation in the Constitu tional Convention: Whereas there is now before the Con stitutional Convention an ordinance in troduced b> the Hon. D ‘S. Henderson, which provides for the several counties of tliis State to issue bonds to pay off past indebtedness and to put them au& cash basts, both for school and current expenses, and that the Stale guarantee the payment of said bonds, Ac. And whereas Barnwell county (and other chunties) have paid all of Its debts and by wise and thoughtful legislation our Representatives have arranged so that Barnwell county has now a fund which is almost if not quite sufficient to run the entire county during the fiscal year 95-9(5 for cash. Andtavhmreas the county of Barnwell has no bonued or past indebtedness', we humbly petition our representatives in the Convention to oppose the Hender son Bond scheme as being unjust tothi* and other counties for the credit of the entire estate to be pledged to payment if the debts of counties which have been improvident and reckless in the expenditure of county funds. And whereas.we regard the Increase of the bonded indebtedness of the coun ties to be guaranteed by the State, as Amounting -to the State placing a mort gage over our property foi* Che paymeut of the debts of other counties. We therefore do humbly pefftionour representatives sin the Constitutional Convention to qppose the Henderson Bond Scheme as being unjust and cruel for this Commonwealth (our mother) to sadcfle the debts of those counties' which have by the improvident or eckless expenditure of county funds becottie involved in debt, upon those of her children who have paid their just debts aad by paying an additional tax each year even during the terribly years of ’93 and ’94 placed themselves upon a cash basis.

And that the county of Barnwell has expended less money and done more work than In thi* past twenty year*. That in 1892 the taxes collected for thl« purpose amoHnieu to about*f35,000, in 1893 about $28,000, in 1894 about $24,- 009. while iu io»6 alHint $19 ufrj. The Co venlion vn’cd U u»n Jir.

Hpltr Branch tl Ighhorlumd tfled on theftta of August 8.15, at Ufo’clock a. tn. He w a« Iu the 7Bh year of his age, For years he had been a member of the Mount Calvary church and had lived up to the profei^ •ion he had made. He died Satisfied with his trust in the Savior and iu the hope of a glorious resurrection. It was most gratifying to his loved onea to know of his triumphant faith ju l hrlst in a dying hour. Oh! how otir hearts ache in giving up our loved on*, for what is home without a father? No fhore Ills footsteps are beard and his chairby the fireside ls_*lw ay» vacant; hut yet in our sorrow it teaches us to say “Thy will be done.” What a bless ed assurance that he is now free from the trials and temptations of til's world And enjoying all the bliss Heaven cah afford,.and some day we hope-tomeet our father in that better world, where sin and sorrow are never felt. Time has not sealed the fountain nor dimmed a memory of the one whose voice can riot come to them across the dark rivet; of death. -He leaves a wife, ten children, fid grand-child en and one brother to join his daughter that had gone iiefote to tlie arms of Jesus. In that great Sorrow that lias fallen on our IToffie, wTiTch TTTs life had made IT very Eden, there is the comfort beyond expression that his spirit, clothed in immortality, will hover as a guardian angel around his loved ones until they shall meet him again in that finaMiome. He was a kind companion, a tender, loving father, a pious graiid-father and loved by all who knew him. . Not until the last day can all the good that has gone from that open home be counted up; ail the good fruits gathered that we'fc gfown from the seeds they had scattered during their long pilgrimage. The prayers of all Christian souls, the sympathies of all the gentle hesrts that God doeth all things wisely and well and he sleeps In Jesus, a blessed sleep, fronTwhlch none ever wake to weep. And 1 tntst f shall be ready Wften the sting of death shall come, There to take mo home to glory. There to live with him above. 4 Dearest rather thou has left us, , Here thy loss we deeply feel, But ’ti* God who has bereft us, . He can all our sorrows heal. . PaDonTKK. ChUdreri s Day at Nanny Hid* San- iif School. The 27th ult., was an enjoyable day at Margin, especially bythe children and Sunday School workers, as it whs their day. The exerCKOs were ar ranged according to the programme published by theSuhday School Board. The opening recitalio’n by Mr. Mannie Johnson was quite fine. The first group representing Faith, Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Patience and the second group of six representing China, Japan, Africa, Daly, South America and Mexico performed their parts ad mirably. The recitation “Our Foreign work at Home” by Miss Flonle John son, and “The Light House and Its Keeper” by Miss Inez Oswald were greatly appreciated hyihe audience. “Do all that 1 can” was heautlfully recited by a little girl. The singing was delightful, especially the hymn “Fold us in thine arms” by six little ones, Raymond, Bill and Eva McCul lough, Hull and Richard Oswald and Gladys Kirk. An address on Missions by Rev. IV. G. Britton was well re ceived snd a nice little collection was taken up which will be sent to help in the support of Rev. Wesley W. Lawton who has been in China for about a year. Last, hut by no means least, .Mia's Pha*be Oswald recited “an invitation” bid'Pngall to come in and help tn the glorious work of missions. The closing hymn, “Let there bo light” was then sung by the entire School. Omega. Foift’s About Pindars. Hr. G. B. Lartigue write* to the News? and Courier ? For some years I %ave been planting Spanish pindars, regsrding myself pioneer in their cultivation. Ten years ago I procured from MV George Zorn, near whom the Rev. ML Wutlams re sided, a few arid from' tbenili^two years raised seed to plant five acrea. He brought them from Charleston and called them “China pfndarV’ I adver tised them In your papers, and thus scattered them. Subsequently I saw them alluded to in agricultural papers as “Spanish pindars.” On o>er one hundred bushels shipped to New York l netted 3T05 per bushel. They have yielded forty to sixty bushell per acre without fertilizing. A few bifnChes tn very rich spots, as “sports,” produced very large three seeded pods, like the Virginia variety, hut they died out. Three years ago I found a new variety as large as the old fashioqed or North Carolina plndar. It is superior to the small kind, takes longer to mature, does not sprout in tha ground and will lie in the ground all winter, and is much easier Jo gather, can be turned out with a ploughshaken an<U dried, and pick ed off later. 1 planted eight acres of them tliis year and have sent a sample to the Stale Fair. They grow wqll on cotton litnd—rows about three feet apart, and Mils fourteen to sixteen inched—and must he cultivated, for suc cess, very mach like cotton. I have exhibited them fit this Fair as “Big Spanish,” Seventy bushels possibly more effn be* easily made if fertilized. I have read that lime vat uked in North Carolina in the cultivation of this crop. , The top* and root* make an ejrtfeHerrt forage for horses, cows and hogs, after ftn nuts are re noved. I esteem it very' highly as an all-rouud food crop, and for market. It Will Pay —-to sM G. FRANK BAMBERG HAMniSRO. S.C-. SftCESSOS TO •T-A-GPEEP.

A man of the name'Of Bessonette of Temple, Tex., has Invented a process of qompresrfrtgcottorr, which, K fa est imated, will aafe »o the South $32,000, O 1 *) annually.

The long lane that has hedged us tn has turned and bv patient endurance, wise economy and untiring effort the South is overcoming hard time* and getting on the right h'urh road to better inde pendence than her people have ever be fore possessed* STRONG, SOLID AND RESTED I resume the use' of Printer’s Ink, and send cordial grfe ttlng* rtf the season to the many good friends in Barnwell, Ai ken and Oromgehurg Counties who have so long extended their generous patronage to BROWN’S CORNER, as best headquarters for purchase of all Merchandise, and sale of all country produce. To them and to the general r iuhlic I beg to express my sincere he ief that better days than Wo have known since the outbreak of the war between tlie States are just daw ningon us. The busine s experience of thirty- five active years ha* taught me to look ahead and 1 ant sure that 1 an. not mis taken in making this prophecy. So strong is my confidence that I have during my recent long visit to the leading Northern cities secured the Grandest Stock pf General Merchandise that I have ever handled or that any merch'ilrit hart ever brought to South Carolina. Perhaps I may have over bought, but 1 think not, for 1 forindthat the Panic had held Northern manufac turers and wholesalers by the throat moro cruelly than it had laid lumls on the fanners of our State. They had to sell. I bought. And the proofs that I w as fortunate crowd my store rooms and ware housesand invite by their va riety, excellence and cheapness the pat ronage of all who w isely want *H that they can get for their money, cotton or other produce. Out of thi* vanishing panic have come these sound new re quirements of business that producer* and consumers must get neater togeth er and that the day of high prices is gone forever. Acting on those princi ples I have bought from first hands in all lines and taken advantage of every fair opportunity that my presence and cash down put within my reach. I un- derstawd 4h1*-eeeonsmtttMon-of- husiness methods and accept it, and ex pect and intend by increasing the range and quantity of sales iu all lines of mer chandise to take modest care of myself and to p it., good heart and hope into the people by giving them more goods and better goods for their money than th< y ever dreamed of getting. Without attempting to paialogue the attractions that I have secureir 1 be*, by way of suggestion, to ask the atten tion of the Ladle* to the opportunity offered them of buying frr comfortable leisure at home all that they need to make them happy in heart and hand some in the eyes of men at PIN MONEY PRICES.
