Accident Near Bsrnwell.

BARNwELL, February 1S.-Yesterday
evening about 8 o'clock, Mr.. Barney B.
Easterling, very thrifty and well-to-do
young farmer Of this city, was knocked
from his buggy and painfully injured by
the Florida limited north bound train No
SO, on the Southern Railroad, and his
horse killed and buggy broken in pieces.
MI. Easterling was driving home from
his farm at rapid gait. On both sides of
the railroad were bridges, one Of which
seems to have been taken up. Just as
Mr.. Easterling had driven across the road
his horse, noticing that the bridge was
missing, turned togo back, and just as he
got on the road, was struck by the engine,
throwing Mr.. Easterling considerable
distance. The engine carried the horse
and buggy for half a mile until nothing
was left of them to be carried.
Mr.. Easterling was taken up by the
train and carried to Columbia, but his
family was without information from the
railroad of the accident. He was brought
back to Barnwell this morning, and is
living in very nervous condition and at
tended by his physician.

Must Return for Trial.

Green and Gaynor, who swindled the
United States government out of several
thousand dollars in connection with work
of the Improvement of the Savannah
river, will be returned to this country to
stand trial. They went to Canada and
successfully resisted all attempts at ex-
'ttaditing them, and this was done, it is
said, by the liberal use of the money they
stole. An appeal being taken to the privy
council, that body decided the men must
be given up.

Home Mission Items.

The Woman's Home Mission Society
in the past eighteen years has helped al
most one third of the parsonages in
Southern Methodisln. In 1885 the total
number was 2,030; value of parsonages
$247,2S5.00. In 1904 total number 4,216;
value $5,1s4,915.OO. The r. NJ. s. has
helped 1927 parsonages to the amount of
$141, ,51O.36.
Many of our prisons today are filed
with criminals who date their down fall
from the time when, as idle children on
the city streets, they came in contact with
sin. They soon grow familiar with vice
in its many forms. The free kindergarten
is to prevent just such conditions as
these. It takes the idle child and puts
him to work in way that entertains as
well as instructs and develops. Where
it exists life is projected upon higher
plane and there are no police recruits from
its ranks. Teachers with a missionary
spirit have been needed for our work
this year. Let our young women who
seek employment which will open broad
field of usefulness, turn their attention to
this phase of home mission work.
Fragments of time, wasted opportuni.
ties, persistent endeavor and achievement
carefully garnered can be transmitted into
treasures incorruptible that fade not away
Let our home mission workers forget not
to gather up the fragments.

of same are to be applied to the new car
pet-which they have recently placed on

Sunday and Sunday night.
Several of our town folks attended
church today at st. Johns Baptist church.
Mr.. Sam W. Copeland married a'dusky
couple in the livery stable Saturday

and Sunday afternoon threatened more
falling weather. The prophets all give
us bad weather until late, say as far as
April. Late gardens will be the result if
their predictions are true.

some parties must have forgotten that
Xmas has gone.
Say, Frank, whom did you say you

his way in the darks
Mr.. Ben T. Zeigler claims that he saw
plenty of the oats pests, fly that has
made its appearance in this section Of
late years, before the cold weather set in.
We expect they have had a rough time
since the sleet and freeze. It looks as if
the oats crop in this section will be short
this year, at least most of them look sick
now. JEE.

Two or three legislative commissions,
says the Columbia Record, have been ap.
pointed to investigate the fiscal affairs OF
counties, though the comptroller general
found q larger number than three In
which there were financial irregularities
on the part Of county officials. What is
the matter with officers? We hope that
the comptroller generals explanation is
the correct one, that these Irregularities
arise owing to the business ignorance OF
incumbents rather than any Intentional
wrong doing. If the explanation is the
true one, it behooves the. people to be
more careful whom they select to conduct
their county financial business.

Cotton Growers Meet.

Last Saturday was the day for holding
conventions at the court house in each
county for the purpose of taking action
along the line of reducing the acreage in
cotton and the amount of fertilizers. At
10 o'clock a number of representative
farmers from several sections of the
county were present, township meetings
have been previously held and delegates
elected.
The meeting was called to order by
Clerk of Court C. B. Free, and tempo
rary organization effected by election OF
Hon. Jno. W. Crum, of Denmark, as
president, and J. D. Fielder, of Bamberg,
secretary. The names of the delegates
were then enrolled, after which Capt. D.
d. Rice, Of Olar, was elected vice-prest'
dent, and G. B. Free, treasurer, the other
temporary officers being made permanent.
The object of the meeting and the pur-
pose of the association were explained in
strong speeches by G. B. Free, D. b. Rice,
J. D. Fielder, W. E. spann, J. d. Fender,
Jno. W. Crum, and others.
A motion was made to adopt the pledge
recommended by the national association,
but this was rejected.
It was moved and carried that the acre
age in cotton be reduced to eighteen acres
to the plow, also to reduce the amount OF
fertilizers twenty-five per cent.
Those who were holding cotton pledged
themselves to continue to hold it, subject
to the action or recommendation of the
national association.
Jno. W. Crum and G. B. Free were
elected as delegates to the State conven-
ton in Columbia.
The meeting then adjourned, subject to
the call of the president.
Those present seemed to be in earnest
about this matter, and as many of our
largest planters were present, it is safeto
saw that the cotton acreage in this county
will be materially reduced this year.
