A Correction

In making out the list of awards
at our late Fair several errors occur
red in the reports of Committees,
which, not being corrected in the of
fetal report of the Corresponding Sc
cretary, so appeared in the list as
published. We note the following:
The premium on Corn Planter
was awarded to the inventor and pat
entee, Mr.. Weisel Beall, hut through
an error was published as having
been awarded to Mr.. T. A. Deck who
had simply put up the Corn Planter,
after model furnished by the i'll
ventor. Mr.. Beall, the patentee, is
a native of this county, and deserves
the credit of his valuable invention.
The award for best two pounds of
Stocking Yarn was credited to Mr..
Ingleftz, when it should have been
to Mr.. w. III. Bower, of this county,
to whom the premium was awarded.
The premium for tanning mill
was awarded to L. III. Ledan instead
of j. III. Ledan.

Hard Tin1cs--The Remedy
DOnst steal or borrow
Vour Neighb0rs Paper.

10 he Editors ef ne Independent.
Please allow me through your coli
umns to speak to certain class Of
people. Now to make hard times
easy keep out of debt, and avoid ex-
travagance. Contracting debt is not
unlike the man who goes to sea with
out compass, he may steer clear Of
sand bars and rocks, but the chances
are againt him. The present inslis-
criminate credit system, is ruinous in
every department of life, it contrib
utes largely to indulge those who are
not able to pay, and what is worse,
those who never intend to pay. Ex-
trayagance usurps the place of econ
omy and produces trouble and makes
men so prone to contract new debts
and loose sight of old ones liz you
would prosper and be happy, keep
out of debt, quit borrowing your
neighbors paper from his door before
he has read it himself. Subscribe
for the INDEPENDENT, pay for it,
and you will not complain of hard
times. Credit is a hard task master.
One who speaks from experience.

The school Fund.

The State Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools has made the apportion-
ment of the general School Fund of
the State for the year commencing
September LIST, 1874, and ending Au-
gust 3lst, 1875. From the published
statement, we find that Berkeley
county has 5,215 youth, and gets S.
1852; jefferson county has i,716
youth, and gets $6,331.67; and Nor
gan county has l ,592 youth, and gets
81 1884. We don't see how Jeffer-
son county, with a smaller enumera-
ton than Berkeley, gets larger
amount of money.

Sneak thieving is becoming very
common again as winter approaches,
and a word of caution to household
ers is therefore not out of place..
Sneak thieves operate in the day as
well as in the night time, and carry
away whatever they can lay their
hands on. They frequently obtain
entrance through the front door
while the family is in back rooms,
and are always quick to take advan-
tage of this circumstance. People
cannot be too careful in regard to
keeping their front doors locked, as
well as closed, both night and day
Once in tho house the thieves are pre-
pared to do bodily harm to any one
who interferes with their operations.

Fixing UP.

Workmen are now engaged fixing
up closets, &c. for books, papers, etc.,
in the office of the Clerk Of the Cir
cult Court. To our minds the offices
of both clerks are very much ham,
pered, and really are inferior to or
binary private offices in their equip
ments and accommodations. They
ought to be nicely furnished and
have every convenience known, for
not only do our own people use
these offices, but every stranger COM
ing into our midst is very apt to go
there. We make these remarks in
the hope that whilst they are fixing
up, the County Court will not be
squeamish about hundred or two
dollars for Office furniture, carpets,
paint, &c. Besides this, the Court
House needs painting badly.
