LETTERS TO CLEMSON.

In seeking information or help from
Clemson College, farmers should ad.
dress the expert or officer In whose
line the point In question is, when.
ever possible This will avoid DELAYS
which are sometimes costly. This ia
especially true Of such matters as in.
sect pests, plant diseases and animal
diseases, which can spread so rapidly.
In outbreaks Of hog cholera. farmers
should either communicate Immediate
ly with the county demonstration
agent or with the veterinary division
Of Clemson College. Merely address.
ing the college will get a letter to its
goal eventually. but sometimes DELAYS
which are dangerous come about II
Is good plan for farmer to keep
one Of the experiment station bulletins
always at hand, as in the front of
each OF these bulletins will be found
the experiment station staff, which
will serve as directory to any one
wishing to write to the college for in.

FLORENCE PRESENTMENT.
Grand Jury Makes Severe Criticism Of
County Officials.

Florence, Oct. 21-The presentment
of the grand jury containing the re-
port Of the expert accountant who ex-
amined the county offices has been
given the public. This report shows
that Florence has suffered very much,
through the laxity Of the county Off
cials in practically. every office,
The special committee considering,
the condition in the court house says
in one paragraph: IN a general way
we would like to state that, using the
expression of the comptroller general
OF the State, the financial conditions
in Florence county as handled by the
officers, are the worst, in the State
We do not, believe that these. condi-
tions come from any dishonest purpose
on the part of the officers, or, from
Ignorance, but from negligence. or
maybe incompetence" The sheriff
and treasurer are criticised sharply for.
the conditions of the executions, there
being at the time of the report near
ly sixty-five thousand dollars worth Of
executions in the sheriff's hands, and
only nine per cent. of the executions
of this county being collected. The
treasurer is criticised for carrying as
| cash unpaid checks which had attain
ed venerable age. He covered all of
| these items from his personal re-
| sources, he is criticised for lack of at
tention to his office. the CLERK Of court
is criticised for laxity in his records
which do not show fines and change
collected. The auditor is severely
criticised for incompetence. in. his
bookkeeping. The supervisor is
criticised for not having an inventory
of the county's property, but his books
are we'll kept in regard to money ex-
pended. Mr.. Muldrow, clerk Of court,
replies saying that the bookkeeping in
| his office is an, inheritance, and that
the items desired by the committee
could have been shown il the investi-
| gators had asked him for explaua-
| tions. Mr.. Darr pleads his own COLI

britain TO PAY FOR COTTON.
Board of Trade Arrangcs to Make Fin
nj Settlement for Staple Bought.

= Washington, Oct. 22.-The British
Board of Trade has arranged to make
final settlements for all American
cotton which 1t has bought and which
is not covered by sales contracts. The
price to be paid will be the market
value at the port of shipment on the
date of shipment, and contracts OF
the same date will be used as a
guide in arriving at the price to be
paid.
? The action Is one Of the conse-
auences Of the British order placing
cotton on the contraband list and the
determination of the British authori-
ties to support the market against the
effects OF that action.

"A BOUQUET FOR THE ITEM.
w. ID. Woods COngratulates the Item
on its Twenty-first Anniversary.

The writer trusts that it is not too
late to extend his warmest congratu-
latlOns to The Item on the completion
OF the 21st year of it's existence, and
to wish for it great many more years
of usefulness and honor; for the writ
er verify believes that it has not only
reflected credit upon it's editor but
also on the people Of Sumter who have
given it their support and sympathy.
A newspaper in the hands of an intel
ligent and conscientious editor is,
with the exception Of the pulpit, the
greatest power for good, in the COM
munity, and not only this but is the
terror of evildoers and its influence in
Keeping this element in check cannot
we'll be overestimated. Just about
the time that the Item was launched
into existence the writer was conduct
ing a paper of his own, and has some
knowledge of it's ups and downs, prin-
cipally the latter, and is sure that If
the people of Sumter could realize
what struggle it was for the Item
during the early years of it's existence
they would give it much more cor
dial support than it is probably re-
ceiving at the present time.
During the writer's career as an edi-
tor the Watchman and Southron. then
edited by the present editor Of the
Item, was one of the first exchanges
that received attention and it's finely
written editorials read with the pleas
ure that one only feels when he is
sure that they reflect the real opin-
ions Of the editor.

A, Newspaper of, Character.

Columbia State.
|. The Sumter Item celebrated it's 21st
birthday few days. ago by issuing q
special edition of more than ordinary
merit, and we are reminded, that The
Item began, publication in days when
Sumter was. by comparison with its
present commercial Importance, a
struggling village. The price of. cot
ton in 1894 was not such as to inspire
an attempt to publish a daily news
paper in a town of three or four times
the size of Sumter. The Item has
survived because it has had brains,
courage and character behind, 1t, and
it has been potent, indeed, we may
say an indispensable factor in the
steady growth of one of the most
liberal and enterprising cities of South
Carolina. Hubert Osteen has de-
served the success that he has won,
and Sumter will practice the wiser
Kind Of self help by continuing and
enlarging its support of The Item.
