Crouch, former county 'superintendent of educatldli, never misses an opportunity to boost his home town, Glko, and in a letter to the editor of The News and Courier is sues a blanket invitation to prospec tive home-seekers to locate in what h e is pleased to term the county’s ■“pearl.” Hi# letter, which speaks for itself—and Elkd—-U, a« follows: “A* a citifcen of Barnwell County, I wish to express my appreciation of yesterday’s editor ial, “Barnwell’s In vitation.” “And the additional purpose of thjs article is to extend to home-seekers nud investors a wider invitation to the county’s ‘pearl,’’—Elko, j “The three leading towns, (“Cities” as they call themselves), are Willis- tm, Blackville and Barnwell. The former is the leading asparagus mar ket of the State. Blackville is the .State’s largest cucumber shipping point, while Barnwe.ll leads the other towns in the county .in the way of watermelons loaded. Elko occupies the strategic place,—situated between these three places and ships car loads of all three of these crops, besides some othe r produce not shipped from them* other towns, viz: dewberries and strawbeirie*. Nearly every vegetable grown is raised and shipped from Elko,—and quite a number of fruits also.

The consensus seems to be that busim-s could b t , done in cotton, since cotton stocks at Bremen, the chief importing port, have been reduced to 367,320 bales because of the recent financial restrictions.

The noble display of faith by Stephen in sealing his testimony with his blood did not soften Saul’s spirit, but rather intensified his hatred for the Lord and his disciples. It made him more de termined than cver-to stamp out the Xazarene heresy. The intensity of his madness and the extent of its opera tions are best set forth In his own words (Acts 22:4; 20:10 12 It. V.). ■'ll. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks (vv. 3-!*). The figure here Is thgt of the east ern ox driver following the ox with a sharp iron fixed to the end of a pole. The animal Is prodded on wilh this Instrument and if refractory, it kicks against the sharp- Iron and injures itself. This is a graphic picture of SnuLas he was madly fighting against Jesus. • . r ‘ 1. A light from heaven <vv. 3, 4). The time bad come for the Lord to Interfere. Saul was smitten with blindness and fell to.the earth. . 2. A voice from heaven (vv. 4. 6). This was the Lord’s voice calling Saul by name and asking "Why'persecutes! Ihon me?** To this Saul replied, “Who art thou. Lord?” Then came the a»- swer, “I am Jesus whom thou pe r - secutest,” as If to say that iiersecution of the disciples is persecution of Jesus. S. Saul’s inquiry (v. «»). “What wiit thou have me to do?” The Lord told him to go Into the city where in formation would be given him as to what he must do. 4, Saul entering Damascus (vv. 7-fi). -The proud persecutor went hum bly into Damascus, .led by his attend ants. For the space of three days he remained Mind, and fasted. What went on in his soul in those days no mortal' can know. Doubtless in -this lime he got hold of the truths which he later proclaimed to the world, for his conversion was the^tasal fact of Ids theology. The day is coming when all .men shall hehold the dazzling glory of the Son. either In salivation or in vondemnation (Phil. 2:10, 11; , Rev. f»:16-17). III. Saul Ministered to by Ananias (vv. 10-10). ~ " L^Ananias’ vision (vv. 10-12). The f.brd appeared to him and instructed U 00 him 40 go to Saul. He gave him the name of ikp streets and Saul's host, and Informed him that Saul was now a praying man and that lie had pre pared Saul by a vision for the coming of Ananias. The I/>rd knows the name of the street and the number of the house in which his chosen live. 2. -Ananias’ fear and hesitancy (vv. 13-10). He knew of Saul's ministry and the authority by which he came. The Lord encouraged him to go, as suring him that Saul was no longer an enemy but a chosen vessel to bear his name before the Gentiles, kings, and the children of- Israel, and that the badge of his commission should, be great suffering, for Christ. ft. Ananias' obedience (v. 17). His fears being removed, Ananias went to the house where Saul wa? stopping, put his hand upon him and affection ately addressed him as brother. The hitherto savage persecutor Is now a, brother in Christ. Ananias informed him that the Lord had sent him JKHJb a twofold mission-: a. “That thou niightest receive thy sigh*.? b. “Be filled with the Holy Ghost.” He '.rieCetVecr his sight forthwith. 4. Saul baptized (vv. 18, 19). After Saul received bis sight, Ananias bap tized him. The I.onL-bestowg the gift of the Spirit upon whomsoever he will, and may designate anyone, whether occupying an official position or not, to lay hands upon Individuals. IV. '.' Paul Put Into the Ministry (I Tim. 1:12-14). * He was commissioned for his work among the (Tbnriles by Jesus Christ. He. did not enter the Christian minis try, but was placed there by the sov ereign act of the Lord. He was trans formed from a blasphemer and ^per secutor through the abundant .grace of the Lord JesusXhrist, and made the apostle to the d^itiles.

C., and reads: • “In 1879. a Frenchman, Loins Pudi- gon, planted about a half acre of as paragus. Mr. Francis Goblet, and Mr. John Nix who had farms : rt the vicinity saw its possibilities and • *- v * ..- r -.-. .. — planted an acreage in 1880, .which proved to he satisfactory, and they planted more in futur e years.” "In 1884, I rented the Goblet farm and increased the asparagus ,p'anting considerably. In 1885 I imported $2,000 worth of French asparagus frem ARGENTEUIL, directly from the originator of the famous variety of that . haOOO acres of asparagus and my record cutting w»s 8,000 bunches of 2 3 4 pounds in one day.” “About that time California start ed giving asparagus and w : lh a Cetter^feoil and climat^lower trans portation,^^ y mad e a suocest of the business from the start, and have in-- creased it ever sipce. . „ Ikis also caused a great reduction in prices.’ “At one time neatly all the farm ers of Mount Pleasant and also •some on* James Island and Johns Island were growing asparagus and doing well at it.
