It is nothing more nor less than the advancing of money on farm producls, other than cotton, when they are properly "baled, lacked and stored” in a warehouse. The People has long contended that the farmer who “livea at home" is much better off than the one who buyi his supplies from the West But, at Mr. Calhoun points out, the farmer* have not been properly encouraged to raise anything but cotton in this State Under the present lyatem cotton n the money crop and heretofore in order to borrow money a farmer had to plant a large acreage :n cotton and then bu> other products that he could juit at well raise here from the Wrat \t t result very few of them get ahead The Hume Bank • idea it a g'**! onr aad the farmers of the county thou Id take advantage of thit opportunity to further their own interettt Alletcute for oot ratting plenty of corn. nett, et- haa sow been remoted and if the othrr in the county will grt twhmd IL« it a new era of peueprnty wiil daw a again OH the one Ume Uenner fount) of the State Card ef I extend my moat heartfelt thanks to each and every one who was so kind to us snd showed s willing mind snd s helping hand through the illnesa of my wife.

Only two young gentlemen stood the scholarship examination held in the Court House on Friday by County Superintendent of Education Horace J. Crouch. They were: Lucius Willis, of Williston, for the four-year Clemson College scholarship, and John Rice, of Barnwell, for the College of Charleston scholarship. These are valuable prizes and it was a surprise that so little in terest was shown in the examinations.

The Hon. James F. Byrnes, known throughout the District as "our Jim mie,” was in Barnwell Monday shaking hands with friends and looking after his political fences. He is the same pleas ant fellow that he was before his elec tion to Congress, but the heat and hard work in Washington have pulled him down a little physically, making him at Ifcast look as if he has earned his short vacation, and, between friends, we believe that he has. Prohibition Prayer Circle. (Contributed.) The ladies of Barnwell have organ ized themsekes into a band called The Prohibition Prayer Circle and are at work for the protection of their homes and their boys. At their regular meet ings they are planning to reach every voter and make an appeal for him to aftftiM in the effort From now until the election on August 11* they will leave no stone unturned that can be u»ed to further the purity and cl^an- lines* of their beloved County, and when the election n over will form a ;>ennanent organization in the hope that the law* of the County mac t>e more *trietly enforced Every lady in the town of Barnwell is insited to the meetings on Tuesday afternoon at o clock at the M E Church whHhrr identified with the movement nr not and they hope th*t other bands will be forrm d in r\erv *«-, tion of the roiintc • nd work in r»nne. t.on w tf. t.h.s Pand and a.ong the same onr* Ad*erti»*d Latter* letter* remain,ng in tf-r- Hsrnwr Pu*t tlffor ar. 1 jilvrrtis* 1 ! j v ; 4 HI I For the benefit of all parties con cerned the following information ia giv en out by the County Board of Commia- a toner*: At a recent meeting of the board it waa decided to warn all parties doing work or contracting for work on the pu£ lie roads and ictlng fev bridges unty for •s that no claims against the county for such work will be approved, unleaa the claimants can show authority from proper officer for doing same. Merchants and others are warned that bills contracted by Captain and Guards of the Chaingang will not be approved unless it is sho^fn that they had proper authority foncontracting same. Bromiscuous repairing of roads and bridges must be stopped. No warrant against the funds of any towuship will be approved unless it is shown that the claimant had the proper authority for doing the work. The amount appropriated by the General Assembly for certain accounts has been exausted. No further claims against these accounts will be approved. Our action in this matter is based on the following section of the supply bill for this county: “Provided, further, no contracts shall be made, accounts approved, no war rants drawn in excess of the appropria tions herein, without the approval of the delegation to the General Assembly first obtained under the penalty imposed by section 532 of the Criminal Code, Vol 2, 1912.

What brand do you suppose he was drinking anyway? When a married man joins about six fraternal orders and attends meetings every night in the week it is evident that his wife faced the parson with the wrong man.—Spartanburg Journal. Not necessarily. On the other hand it might be taken as an indication that it was the other way ’round. When a man "faces the parson” with the right woman he will hardly find it necessary to join six fraternal orders. According to the department of ag riculture’s report issued last week, there are 1,992,000 acres planted in Cbrn in South Carolina this year. The condition of the crop was 86 per cent on July 1st, as against 79 per cent in 1012.

C. It Always Helps savs Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of aifton Mills, Ky., In writine of h«r experience with Cardui, the woman s tonic.*She says further: “Before 1 began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad I thou2h the pain would kill me. I was hardly able o do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. . I wish every suffering woman would give CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, and it always does me good.” Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired^ worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman s tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing women for more than fifty years.
