p H AN OPEN LETTER FROM MR. HARLAN L CREECH Amw* th« P*opl« of tho County tknt They Will Lota 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 15)12 Code of Law's forS. C. and came across paragraph 1166, which reads as follows; “Upon the death of any sheriff, his personal representative or representa tives shall likewise pay over to the suc cessor in office of such deceased sher iff all moneys which such deceased sheriff had in his hand officially at the time of his 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 aa 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 I 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, 1 feci sure that the good people of this county had faith enough in him to believe that every dottar due ‘ the county would have been paid at the expiration of his term of office. Now that he is dead, I. his legal representative, claim only the time to settle this debt as is allowed In law. If I arn right, I claon that the money is not due and collectable until Jan. M, PU4. If lam wrong in the con struction of the law, 1 ask that I only hear the censure, and not ht that wore the gray. I truly hope that if "all is well that ends well,' that neither the Bond Company nor the county will ever lose a dollar through Frank II Creech, Sheriff. lo the good people of Barnwell County who supported my father din ing his long service as Sheriff of your county, I desire to express to you sincere thanks, for him He w as called to a new field ami a new w irk w ithout Jhe time tosay "good bye to his' true f'l'ends and c inn .el* s left behind Vet mi the quirt of his home, when speak- mg <.f Ins many true ti lends, I have seen him weep for joy It is to you and to those who saw the last of him and who prcs.-u d their sympathy to u* in our hour of great Derra. eiiumt i "ishtosay "g.wxi-bye, may laid bless l-ou," for turn Allow nu to Uu. * th, fa ther, *.. * or ^ u.: true fn-u.d, H i. Ci LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. if : »i ■ a- - if To the Editor of The Barnwell Ueople. Dear Sir — As in all probabilty, from the present time onward for weeks, at any rate, the whole question of the social aspects of the liquor business wil! tie in the minds of the people, and they later will he called upon in om* form or an other to give expression to their opin ions relative to the same, may 1 call the attention of such as would like to obtain an intelligent opinion to a little book published last year by the Funk and Wagnalls company.

As a matL ? -'f tael, the uiei i-.iM* m yr-lds of font due to ihe appiii.-at.ou v>t commer-.-ial fertilizers is generally ob tained at ft cost almost, if not qmfe, equal to the im rease in the value of tne crop. In ot!u*r words, corn is not a crop which yields large profits from the use of coauniernal fertilizers like cotton and sum*; uther crops. For this reason, the Southern fanner who ex pects to double his corn yields and make large and profitable crops must add 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 oi phosphoric acid he may hope for large yields of corn, but not until then. This organic matter us necces- sary to enable the soil to hold sufficent moisture and supply the nitrogen to produce large and profitable yields.—: The Progressive Farmer. Wyraan-Hender*on. 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. i »: t' 111 Bp . :u Ml' >LiN \. :i We .■•i ■* K* iVmier. r ' V. .kvj: iom*> IV:,- i i. ' .
