THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THUH8DAY, JAN.31, 1889. HKAttY T. THOM PNOM EDITOR. '< JAMES NATHAMAli GARNER. Tlie omuiuunitjr was shocked on 8-fcday morning lust to bear tl at Mr J. N. Gamer, tbeOleikof tbf Court for Darlington County, had died suddenly at the War ley rest deuce near loan, to which pl iC“ he had moved his home at the begin ning of the present year. Mr Garner had arisen and dressed lor the day, and wna walking about the house, when in reply to a ques tion from one of his little sone, he said that he intended goiux to church that morning if the weather permitted. Shortly afterwards I e lay down on a sofa, probably feel ing his mortal Illness overtaking him. He ottered no word however to Indicate that he was in pain, only requesting bis little son to awaken Mrs. Garner. When the family oame into the room where he was, they found him dead. The cause is supposed to have been paralysis of the heart, and all was over in five minutes. Mr. Garner was at his ofBce nmil quite late the even ing befote, and seemed to be in his usual hea tb and spirits. The deceased was born and reared in this County, about five miles from the Court Houee, bis parents before him having spent their lives here. He was born on the 27th of Deoemtrer 1835, so at the time of bis death he was in the 54th year of his age. When the war opened, Mr. Garner w< the first voluuteerSjjutMffleotiog him ••If wiyufctre-'uwiv, artillery bat- ?f Oapt. John D. Johnson, which was organized in this Coun- tp, and was seut with his command to James Island, where he served hia country faithfully and efficiently until the dose of the war. On the death of Jonathan Wright, he was appointed Clerk of the Court by Governor Hampton, on Jnly 26th, 1878, and was reelected to that offioe at each succeeding general election held ei..ce that time. At the primary election last fall be overcame his opponentsfortheoffice with snob an enormous majority as clearly proved the exalted position which he occupied in the affections of the people of the County. Mr. Garner leaves a widow and tour sons, Dr. J. 8. Garner, Dr. W. J, Garner and two little boys. His life was heavily insured, be having 85,000 in the New York Life, $5,000 io the Fidelity Mutual, $5,000 in the American Legion of Honor, 83,000 in the Knights of Pythias, 83,000 in the Stauuton Life, aud 82,000 in the Knights of Honor, a total of 823,000. The funeral took place from the late residence of the deceased on Monday morning at half past ten o’clock, a h rge num ber of the members of the various aeoret socities going over to ac company the funeral cortege to the Methodist Cbarcb, where a very appropriate discourse was delivered by the Rev. J. A. Rice. The church was crowded with a host of the friends of tae beloved dead. The services were concluded at the family burying grouud, at the old homestead, about five miles from town, aud the remains were inter red there. From all poitious of the town andCouuty, sorrowing friends wssembled around the grave to pay their last tribute of respect to him whom they had so loved and honor sd in life. Committees from each of the secret socities were in atten dance, and unt 1 all was over the Pythian emblems, draped in crepe and fly ing at half mast, were dis* played on the flag pole,, to remind those who had remained in town of tbs last sad rites which were being performed five miles away. Mr. Garner was a member of the Msthodist Church for many years, and ever held steadfastly to the tenets of the Christiuu faith. Of a gentle loving disposition, he was •n exemplary husband aud father end a devoted friend. No mau ever had a kinder heart, and no official who occupied public position In Darlington Connty, ever bad a larger circle of ardent friends and aapporters. On one occasion, when be had been victorious in bis can didacy before the County Couven- ttoo, some of his oonstitoeuts, as if by s common impulse, lifted him upon their ebonlders and carried bim in triumph from the Court House. The occurrence fitly illoe- (rated the entbosiastie esteem in twee held by those of his m among whom his lot iu ash At the time there g tonohing in their which impressed ; (be recollection of Ik at (bis distant day when be is no as a grateful reminder of the just appreciation in which his truly generous nature vas held. Verily no m m ever had a happier faculty of endesrii g people to h m. Different fiom mnny eulogies of the dead, to all who read these lines the common thought wdi be. u Not hslf enough was slid.’’ To euum-i ate the good qualities of our d> ar departed friend so as to satis tv bis host of admirers throughout Darlington County, would lequire the pen of a Macaulay. Darlingti-n has lost a citizen of whom she was most justly proud, aud though his form lies buried in the ground, this gcueratioi. must have long since passed away before there fade n to oblivion the beloved inme and no ble, manly, generous qualities ol James Nathaniel Garner. THE DARL.NGTON EXPERIMENT station. For experimenting w ith manures for cotton, one hundrtd aud forty plats of one-twentieth ot, an acre each were selected, mid as for the cont' and oats every plat had its duplicate, aud all the above plats were planted with the same varie ty ot seed. All of the plats were planted in chicks 3 1 2x3 1 2 feet, giving 176 n ills to each plat; to determine accurately the yield of tacb plat, missing bills must be counted aud whatever per cent* they are of the plat, must be added to thg actual 3 ield of the plat to got the corrected yield, as it is called.

Gregg, chairman ot the commission, Floienc* County, which you h.<ve reteiml to me, 1 have the honor to express the ful lowing opinion upon the points sub mitted for my co.isideiatiou, viz : 1. Th t the couhty of Floreu e is not ‘‘entitled (o the taxes now duo from those ;M)riious ot the respec tive counties out of which the said county of Florence lias been tohn- ed.” These taxes weie assessed aud collected under ‘*1111 Act to raise supplies and make appr. pria tinns for the fiscal year coinmenc* ing November 1, 1887,’* and the county o' Florence was not created until after said fiscal year. 2. T-at under and by virtue ot the A. A. cieating (ho couuty ot Florence, it becomes your duty, as you have been already advis. d, to appoint all of the officers for said couuty. The fftrsous so appointed will bold their officts respectively until the election and qualification of (heir successor.-, who are to be elected under said Act ou the first Tuesday alter the first Monday iu November, 1889, and the persons then elected will hold until the qualification ofttheir successors, to be elected at the legular election iu the year 1890. This appears to be the scheme of organization adop ted by the General Assembly. The con.-titntiouality ot the Ac< has been questioned, paitcularly in r Terence to the appointment aud election ot the cleik ot Gomt aud the Probate Ju<Le.
