Stacking Wheat.
There is no question but that it is
a great deal better for the farmer to
stack his wheat and let it go through
the universal sweat before threshing,
than it is to thresh out of the shocks
and let the wheat sweat in the bin.
It is a law Of nature that wheat will
sweat. The only time when wheat
should be threshed out of the shock
is, when it is to be Immediately sold
and delivered at once. Then those
who purchase the grain can take the
risk of the liability Of the damage
which is caused by tho heating pro.
cess in the bin- Then, again, wheat
that is we'll stacked for the matter
of six or eight weeks before it is
threshed, will weigh more to the
bushel than when threshed out of the
shock. =. 49,:

How Do We StauH

MIR. EDiron Myself and many others have
been anxiously looking for the Annual Report Of
the Board Of County Commissioners for last year.
Why has it not been made The people are
anxious to see it, and the law demands that it
shall be published. Many unpleasant rumors
arc afioat about il, and as the chairman Of the
present Board was member Of the old Board
II looks somewhat strange that he does not de-
mand that showing of his past Stewardship be
made. We are told that the books of the last
Board arc so mixed up that a report cannot be
made-which is interpreted by somo to mean
that the former Board has not, or cannot make
satisfactory report to the present Board. If
that is the case, it leads us to the belief-and
fear-that the financial condition of the County
is inexplicable and may involve another extra
ieVy TO pay deficiencies. The present Board,
its seems to me, should demand report in their
own defence against any errors or irregularities
that may have occurred before they went into
office. The old Board was composed Of honest
and good men and no one suspects them of do
ing an intentional wrong, but If they cannot
make report Of how they have disbursed the
peoples money, placed in their hands, it cer-
tain!y does not speak well Of their qualifications
for such an Office. We are further told that IL
has been customary for the Clerk of the Board
to make the Report, but that officer resigned
just before tho term Of the old Board expired.
so that the report was not made. The law gov
erning the matter does not make the Clerk re.
sponsible for that duty, although one would
think he would feel it incumbent on him to draw
up the report and, with the Board, compare il
with his books, thereby exhibiting his efficiency
and faithfulness in Office. In case IL is doubted
whether the law demands the Commissioners to
make On annual report, Mr.. Editor, by referring
to Chap. XIX, Sec. 28, page l5S, of the Revised
Statutes, you will find the following:
"It shall be the duty of the Board of Comfy
Commissioners in each County, annually, 10 pub
lish In one or more newspapers printed or cir
cuiated In such County. the name Of every indi-
vidual who have had any account audited and
allowed by said Board, and the amount of said
claim, as allowed, together with tho amount

hope what have said will not be construed
as intendinding to impute any improper action
on the part of any member OF the Board, for /
do not intend TO even insinuate any such thing.

The Weather.


The past week the weather has represented al
seasons Of the year, except midsummer Onf
Thursday of last week we had the 81 z tn snow
the winter, with intense cold before and after; on
Saturday and Sunday il blew hard and cold !.
on Tuesday the atmosphere was so mild that
fires were allowed to get very low ; that night it
commenced raining, which lasted up to midnight
Of Wednesday, and gave another et-back to farm
work. No one in this County, that we have spok en-
to, can remember q more severe winter than this
large quantity oe Cotton remains unpicked in
the fields; many farmers have not been able
to sow wheat or oats, while all kinds of farm
work is at least o month behind. Scarcely any
garden work has been done some have put in
u few peas and some have put in onions, but
that is about all.
We notice that much Of the hardest shrub-
aery has been greatly injured, If not killed
by the heavy freezes. The leaves Of the Cape

retired to give it the quiet and rural surround

Seminary one of the most thorough and efficient
institutions in the South, and from the high lit
erary standing of q long list of persons who
bear testimony to his character and ability, we
feel confident he is worthy gentleman and viii,
