—ExbCbits Beggar Description.
“Auspiciously” is one of the
most over-worked words in the English
ttngu&ge, but it is the only one that
Accurately describes the opening of the
third annual Barnwell County Fair.
So far the~meeting has been blessed
with ideal autumn weather, no cloud
appearing to mar the pleasure of the
crowds with a threat of rain.
The Fair was formally opened Tues
day mOrning by the Hon. E. W. Dabbs,
president of the State Farmers’ Union,
who yd* a most interesting, strenght-
forward address to the farmers of Barn
well County. He was introduced by
the Hon. Charles Carroll Simms, of
Barnwell, who is a most entertaining
speaker. Mr. Dabbs spoke principally
about the marketing of crops, & prob
lem that is furnishing much food for
thought at this time. Quite a large
audience heard him but it is to be re
gretted that every farmer in the coun
ty was not here. Lack of space pre
vents a full report of his excellent talk

in Regard to Same.
From a chance remark made in my
hearing 1 am led to infer that some one
has been insinuating that money raised
for the Rectory Fund was being divert
ed, or had been diverted to other uses.
Whether the author or authors of
this insinuation intended to give
the impression that some part of the
funds collected have never been
turned in or that the fund, was being
temporarily used for other purposes I
know not. But I take this occasion to
inform the public as to the status of the
fund.
Every dollar intended for the Rectory
Fund has gone into the Bank of
Western Carolina. The amount nec
essary for the purchase of the lot be
ing withdrawn, the balance has re
mained in the savings department at
four per cent interest. The interest
has quite materially added to the prin- ! Jones,

Frank Dukes, a negro, is now in the
county jail.
Answering a hurry call from Mr.
Griffin, Sheriff J. B. Morris hurried to
the scene of the alleged murder
Saturday morning. The dead body of
Mose Priester, colored, had been foead
in front of the house occupied by Frank
Dukes. Priester had been shot in the
back with a shot gun and his sk«H
crushed with a club. Repeated in
quiries elicited no information, so Capt
Morris did a little detective work. A
thorough seach disclosed the ashes of a
fire, in which were found the remains
of the stock of a gun and the buttons
from a) pair of overalls. Hidden ia
mother place was the barrel of a shot
gun. Blood stains were

Hog» Cannot be Raiaod Profitably on
Grain Alone,
We cannot raise hogs profitably on
grain alone. We should give more at
tention to forage crops as a factor in
pork production and enable us to re
duce the cost of pork to a minimum.
Dwarf Essex Rape is excellent
forage for swine for late fall and winter
grazing. Rape for thi$jpurpose should
be sown at once.
Prepare a good seed bed, using stable
manure freely. (Rape will not do well
on poor soil.) Sow about 6 pounds of
seed to the acre broadcast. If drilled,
three pounds will do.
Art acre of a good stand of rape
should take care of at least fifteen
shoats for three months. Some grain
should be fed, using the grain to sup
plement the ration.

twelve miles of Columbia on a competi
