County Affairs.
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.
W>e would also urge upon on? repre
sentatives to guard every Interest of
this comity by delivering u« fronr, by
opposing all measures wbrelr will In
crease taxat'Cei; thut we afe a body ex
press the feeling of this entire County
when we sqy.we regard all taxation for
otlier than the economint) administra
tion of the Cermtronwealth as piracy.
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,

AT REST.
Farewell my wife and children all,
- From you a father ChrUt doth caff,
Mourn not for me it’s all in vain
To call me to your sight again.
Mr. Kryln Givens ot. 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.

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.

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.

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.

luo*^ vUal-J Time*.
Four year* ago I stopped advertising.
I plainly saw that we were entering a
period of financial depression ,unex-
ample'f In the later (mslness history of
the United States, and concluded that
it would be better for me to take in sail
and go slowly until the tfkiba bee it (tie
bright again.
Event* have proven that I wa* right.
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.
D’t'ess Goods in latest and lovaliertt
Fabrics. Ready Made Jackets, Cloaks,
Skirts, ITtulerwear, Dainty £nd Sub-

I inings of ill Irifids, and, in sho^t,every

life is too short to enumerate all,
SUPERB CLOTHING.
My stock of clothing is so, wide
, ranged that tlie largest man and the
small boy cart be fitted as well as with
tailor made garments, only the best
gooda.snd workmanship were used in
their manufacture, and prices are too
cheap to be told in print. For men and
hoys 1 have an ample stock of dress
and buslneas shoes. I have gathered
the best from the leading manufactu
rer's of the Easferti and Western States
and can suit every taste and give the
fullest satisfaction. Special attention
Is asked to the good* of the Bay State
Shoe ami Jaurthef Company, tlie most
durable tnade, aftd rto cheaply priced
that they will almost go oif without
wordrt. '
I offef tlnderwear that wiTf defy
winter winds and summer heats, hats,
gloves imd every tiling Deedfnt for
health and comfort.
For Furniture, Hardware', Buggies,
Harness, Saddles and everything re
quired hy house holders, in town or
country, 1 1 qfferadvantrt^eif that can not
be equalled South Of Mason and Dix-
ori*rt Line.
In Grocdf/ef I have the best grades
of all goods, bought in wholesale quan-
tftiert and to jie sold as they were pur
chased, at lied rock prices for ca<h.
My heavy stock must be Unloaded, and
the early buyer will get advantage of |
the rise in price* that may be expected
later in the ifrason. The wise buy
wlyh their first money, so that fh«hf.|
nc^ds are supplied before it fc frasted
for* chips and whetstones. /
Custonrers, old and irevr/ iftfH find a‘
hearty tyelcome and thO itHme fair deal
ing that, has always riftsrked my bus
iness life, I would prefer for them to
come shopping in the ,riihruing, as it

better bargains here than the best de
