The time is nearly at hand when farmers sow good
( Grain. If you are following peas with grain or if your
Iandl is in a good state of cultivation we recommend our
10-4 or our 1o-6. This is made of p)hosphoric acid and
Potash. Neither of these leach in the soil from rain or
snow but stay in the ground until they are taken up as
plant food.
SO IF YOU FERTILIZE
Your grain with T0-4 or 10-6 and the grain is killed
during the .winter your fertilizer isn't lost, it is
* there for the next crop.
If your land is not in a good state of cultivation
* we recommend our 10-1-3 or our 10-1-4. This has one
per cent ammonia which is sufficient for the grain to
~et a good firm hold, a good start off. After danger
of frost has passed next spring grain should be top
dressed. Oats come in handy in the early summer to
finish out a crop and then stock do better when they
are fed liberally on oats during the wvork season.
Wheat comes in wvell at any time.
* Our 10-4 is the cheapest first class fertilizer you
.can use on grain in tune fall. Mr. \V. I1. Glenn has
. been fertilizing his grain in tho fall for several years
4 with our 0o-4 pind recommends it highly.' To prep~ar e
'well three or four acres to the plowv and sowv in oats is
good farming and pays handsomely.

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 5
MOSES' CRY FOR HELP.
LESSQN TEXT-Numbers 11:10-18. 24. 25.
GOLD.N TEXT-"The supplication of
a ri gteous man gvalleth much in its
worin."-James 6:16.
This lesson is taken from the book
of Numbers, "the book of journey
ings," or aptly called the "book of mur
murings." The events of. Exodus and
Leviticus cover perhaps one or two
years, whereas those recorded in Num
bers occupy about 38 years. Read In this
connection Ps.95:10 and I Cor. 10. From
Sinai to Kadesl-Darnea are found four
general murmurings. The first was
at Taberah, 11:3, and the events of to
day's lesson which occurred at
Kibroth, 11:34. The other two were
at Hazeroth, 12:15, 16, and Kadesh,
13:26. This book Is full of impress
ive warnings about worldliness.
Moses Was Human.
I. Complaint and Controversy, vv.
10-15. Moses was great but he was
human. No man is faultless, and in i
this lesson we have another incident
illustrating the weakness of Moses..
Yet de pito all this we find inserted:
in the ery next chapter God's esti
mate of his character, 12:3. Moses
had been subjected to a terrible strain,
the detail of his leadership, the con- (
stant murmuring of the people un
der this load he gave way,-just as he
had previously yielded to impulse, Ex.
2:12, and as he did subsequently, Ch.
20:10-13. The Israelites are a strik
ing illustration of the natural discon
tent of the human heart. Any af
fliction, and discomfort or privation,
and we forget'God's marvelous works t
on our behalf. His wonderful good
ness. That God was displeased is in
dicated by verse 10, but that did not
imply that Moses, too, was to lose t
his temper, to resort to murmuring, V
and to accuse God of being respon
sible for the burden or that he would
not help to share the load, v. 11. God
placed great honor upon Moses by
calling him to this task of leadershi,
and now he complains, and doubts for t
a moment God's sustaining grace, 2 1
Cor. 12:9; Phil. 4:13. The language t.
here used, vv. 12-14, is wonderfully $
suggestive. The utter weakness of
the Israelites, the promised goal, the
hunger of soul and body, the sorrows
of affliction are all graphically set r
before us. Moses' own weakness is
revoaled (v. 13) by his words, "where I
should I have flesh to give?" He seems
to forget absolutely God's dealings q
with Israel before they reached Sinai (
(Ex. 16), as though God expected any]
such thing from him. The height of
his petulance and bitternpss is -reach -
ed when he exclaims, "kill me I pray
thee . . . and let me not see my
wretchedness," v. 15.
Burden DistrIbuted.
ii. Comfort and Counsel. vv. 16-18, C
24, 25. Moses had been warned not to f
bear the entire burden of leadership
by his father-in-lawv, Jethro, Efx. 18:17, ti
18. Now that he is unwilling to take ,]
the full honor of undivided leadership
God most graciously grants his re
quest and appoints others to share the
burden and responsibility. There was
no more power, however, but more
machinery. God distributed the bur
den and revealed the fact that Moses' -
power was in proportion to his burden.
Human nature always looks for the
arm of flesh upon wvhich to rely, but
such a reliance usually brings a curse
not a blessing upon those who seek it, C
Jer. 17:5. God dealt in mercy with h
Moses. Notice how gently ho passes
by this exhibition of infirmity and S
notwithstanding this lapse, bears tes- a
.timony to his faithfulness (12:7). Yet i:
he is impartial in chronicling his faults 3
and thereby giving us an incidental
and thereby giving us the truth.
What a suggestion in the wvords "I
will come dowvn and talk with thee,"
yet that is the privilege of the believ
er in Christ, John 14:16, 17 and 16:13.
God calls a "tent meeting," v. 16 R. y.,
but before he meets them they must
sanctify themselves, for so only is
one prepared to meet God, Ex. 19: 10,
15, 22. These people had been lust
ing for the food of Egypt even as to
day many who have professed to ac
cept Christ are forever longing for the
pleasures of time and sense. They
forgot the bitterness of past slavery in
the privations of the present, entire
ly forgetful of the goal of luxury and
freedom, Rem. 10:28, 2 Cor. 4:17. God
granted their request, v. 18, to their
sorrowv, v. 20. The whole trouble was
then "rejected the Lord," v. 20 R. V.
The granting of material prosperity
tends to leanness of soul, Ps. 106:15.
It frequently happens that God does
not answer our prayers because he
knows that to answer them actually
and literally wvould spell disaster in
our lives.
Conclusion. This lesson brings
Moses very near to us. Such a re
markable man as he is ho sometimes
seems to be far removed from our
actual experiences in life. Yet as wve
consider him faltering for a moment
beneath his stagger'ing, crushing bur
den of responsibility, with strength
and courage gone, we share our synm
pathy with him and he seems to enter
hnto the actualitIes of our daily life.
(God reveals himself as one who un
ders'tanmds perfectly, one who knows
ex .etly all that his servant felt, and

REPORT TO GRAND JURY
State of South Carolina,1
County of Pickens. 5
To the Foreman and Members of the Grand Jury:
At your request I have made an examination of the variou
offices of the County and herewith submit my findings:
I wish to say as to all the officers of the county that I foun<
their books in good shape, properly and neatly kept.
Sheriff's Office.
This officer handles only such public funds as are collecte<
Dn tax executions. Very few of these for the taxes of last yea
have been coilected for various reasons, and these execution
were.not checked by me nor taken into account in any way, a
they make up no part of the funds to be accounted for in th<
innual settlement of June 30, last but will be accounted for h
bhe settlement of next year.
Probate Judge's Office.
The only public fund 3 handled by this officer are the fees fron
miarriage licenses. From the 1st day of July, 1911, when the lav
went into effect, to the 30th day of June, 1913, the Probate Judgi
Issued 417 marriage licences for which he collected $1.00 each
3eyenty-flve per cent of this goes to the pablic school fund. The
3chool fund, thei efore, ab entitled to $312.75, an( I found', by at
rror in addition, this officer'had paid to the County Treasurei
p314.25 or $1.50 more than was due the County.
I also examined this office as to the funds as public guardian
lie present Probate Judge is guardian for children in tw
!states. These funds are loaned out on mortgages of real estate
md are safely invested and well secured.
Clerk of Court.
I have carefully examined the Court records and the books
n this office as to all fnes, penalties, license fees and forfeitures
:ollected by this officer and have checked the same with the
Preasurer's books and find that all such funds have been pronpt
y turned over to the Treasurer.
Magistrates.
I have also examined the books of all the Magistrates in the
3ounty andi find that all the costs and fines collected by them
tave been paid oyer to the County Treasurer.
Treasurer's Office.
The examination of his office was ill connection with the ex
b1 ination and checking of the offices of the Superintendent of
ducation and County Supervisor, as all the public funds of the
,ounty are pa-id out by these two officers, and my report as to
hem will cover the Treasurer's also.
Superintendent of Education.
From the 1st day of July, 1912, to 30th day of June, 1913, the
Dtal amount of money availahle and disbursed by this officer
vas as follows.
TIotal am ount available.......---................$48,247.96
T1otal expenditures.................................. 38.844.30'
Cash balance July 1, 191.3----.-............ $ 9,403.60
Ii addition to this an accumulation of $5,501.07 is on hand
rom the levies made each year to retire interest on bonds in
21berty, C-ntral, Easley, Pickens and Dacusville School Dis
icts, as follows: Liberty, $767.64; Central, $2,277.43; Easley,
1.149.62; Pickens, $1,096.43, and Dacusvillo, $209 95.
Durinlg this school year only two now school houses have
een built in the County, wherea .many of the Districts need
lore room in present buildings, some new buildings, and all
etter equipnent. 'This seeis to he the most urgent need at
>reselnt. In this coinec lion the Superintendent of Education
vants it, known t hat, a special fund has been provided to aid
cliool districts in building better houses, and he desires the co
>perotion of the Grand Jury and all good citizens to the pind that
tetter buildings andl equipment may be provided for every dis
rict which needs thenm. Plans for modaern and improved build
ngs can be had by any district wishing to build free of cost.
Supervisor's Office.
As practically the bulk of the p)ublic funds are subject to the
heck of this office. I have carefully examined the same for the
scal year ending June 30, 1913, and report as follows:
Amount reported by the County Treasurer to the Supervisor
s available for all purposes and from the yarious sources from
uly 1, 1912, to June 30, 1913, are as follows:
