AN OPEN LETTER FROM MR. HARLAN L CREECH Amv** th« People of the County that They W4U Lo*e Nothing. To the Good People of Barnwell Coun ty > Having been appointed the admini strator of my father's estate and in trying to ascertain my duties as such, I consulted Vol. 1 of 1912 Code of Laws forS. C. and came acrpSs paragraph 1166, which reads as follows: “Upon the death of any sheriff, his personal representative or representa tives shall likewjse pay over to the suc cessor in offic^ of such deceased sher iff all moneys which such deceased sheriff had in his hand officially at the time of X ,s death, within twelve months after he, she or they shall have as sumed the administration of such es tate; and upon his, her or their neglect or failure so to do, the estate of such deceased sheriff, and the sureties upon his official bond, shall be liable to pay to the party entitled to receive such money the amount due to such party, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per month thereon after the expiration of such term of twelve months to be re covered by action.” Acting without the advice of an at torney, I had before me no higher authority, so I determined then and there to carry out the letter of this law as to the Sheriff’s office, but to ask the full limit of time provided therein. Now, when my father, Sheriff Creech, deceased, was reported short t by the expert accountant during the summer of 1912, he showed to the good people of Barnwell County the money, according to his usual custom, was placed to his personal account. But as all the executions for 1910 had not been collected, he was delayed in a settle ment, in order that he might carry out his usual custom of settling each year’s delinquent executions at one time Had my father lived, I feel sure that the good people of this county had faith enough in him to believe that every dollar due the county would have been paid at the expiration of Ins term of office. Now that he is dead, 1. his legal representative, c laim onl) the tune to settle this debt .is is allowed In. . law If 1 am right, I ela-m that tin money is not due and eotli'ctable unt.i Jan.

As a matLr of t.u ;, the uicrvaM* in yields of corn diiv 1 to ihe applicat.on i»t c.yTimcrrial fertili. i*rs is generally ob tained at a cost almost, if not equal to the increase in the value of tm* crop. In oilier words, corn is not a crop which ywlds largie profits from the use of conunerrial fertilizers like cotton and some ej4her crops. For this reason, jthe Southern farmer who ex pects to ckwble his corn yields and make large and profitable crops must iLdd to the fertility of his soil by appli cations of stable manure or the plow ing under of legumes. When this is done, then with good plowing and cul tivation and the use of a liberal amount ofr phosphoric acid he may hope for large yields of corn, but not until then. This organic matter is necees- sary to enable the soil to hold sufficent moisture and supply the nitrogen to produce large and profitable yields.—* The Progressive Farmer. Wyman-Henderaon. Aiken, March 29.—Tuesday after noon at 3:30 o'clock Miss Pansye Wy man and D. S. Henderson, Jr., were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. Framp- ton Wyman. Their pastor, the Rev. Thomas D. Johnston of the First Pres byterian church, officiated. The wed ding had been previously arranged for April 30, but on account of the ill health of the bride it was necessary to hasten the marriage. Only relatives and most intimate friends were present.
