The Southern Baptist Con vention will be held in Savan nah next year. William C. Whitney, the sport and society leader of Aiken's mid-winter visitors, is the largest land owner in the state of Massachusetts. The State Democratic con vention assembles in the cap ital city to-day. From now on the candidates will have to pull off their coats, roll up their sleeves and get down to business. Congressman Lever has re ceived assurances that the $25.000 appropriation with which to erect a suitable mon ument to the memory of Gen. Sumter, the revolutionary hero, will be granted. The monument will be erected in the town of Sumter. . Congress has appropriated $200.000 for those who are destitute and suffering on the island of Martique in conse quence of the recent volcanic waves or eruptions of Mont Pelee. Liberal personal con tribu ions have also been made. .' The meatless meal is be coming a fad now-a-days. A meatless meal is nothing new, however, to the average country editor. Many of tr>em would sit down to a breadless meal if they depend ed solely upon some de Jinquent subscribers. -uiiu-non-union ' people ;are now striking at each .other. A house divided against itself must fall. This iwiUJbe4he fate of the op eratives in Augusta. . Peace and harmony have been restored at Clemson. The resignation of president Hartzog was not acted upon by the Board of Trustees. It is probable that the resigna tion will be accepted by the board at its meeting in June. A number of prominent men have already been suggested as president Hartzog's suc cessor, among them being Judge W. C. Bennett, Dr. J M McBride and Prof. R. Means Davis, Others are yet to be heard from. Encouraging News. When we look with fear and misgiving as to the future it is reassuring to have the pending gloom even in a measure dispelled. Telegraph ic despatches from Mississip pi state that in the section ?ast of the Mississippi river there is no increase in the cotton acreage for this year. The increase for the State of Texas ls estimated at 5 per cent. The dispatch further states that on account of the lateness of the season the preparation for planting was not thorough and the crop was very hurriedly pjt in. With only a small increase in the acreage which is offset by hurried planting it is not probable that a very large crop will be produced this year. Lastyear;s crop will be practically exhausted by Sep tember. In view of the above and cotton now bring 9? cents does it not seem that a good price this fall is rea sonably certain. A full crop sold at a good price would put the farmers of Edgefleld County on their feet again. What Thin Folks Need is a greater power of digesting ?nd asstmilatiog food.

Thc Second District The nice for the congress ional honors of the 2nd dis xict Will be of unusual inter ?st to the people of Edge field There will be three candi dates in the field. Hon. Gi Duncan Bellinger of Barn well, Hon Geo! W. Croft, of Aiken, and Hon. J W, Thur mond of Edgefield. AU of these gentleman have been in public life for some ' years and each one has a strong following. It is impossible to forecast what the verdict of the second primary will be. Each one of course is confi dent of winning the coveted prize. For the benefit of those who may have. forgot ten what counties, under the re-districting bills compose the 2nd congressional district we give them, as follows: Hampton, Beaufort,. Barn well, Bamburg, Aiken, Salu da and Edgefield. We be lieve the campasgn in this district will be conducted up on a high and honorable plane. The beginning, prog ress and ending will be watch ed with much interest and enthusiasm. The County Summer School The County Superintend ent of Education says there are about 60 white schools in the county giving employ ment to over 100 teachers, yet the average attendance at the Summer school last year was only 17. lt is true that many of the teachers are non-residents of the county and a very small percentage of them attend the state summer school at Winthrop, but after account ing for these where is the vast majority of teachers while the summer school is in session. Teachers general ly are not paid as they should be but increased efficiency on their part will bring about increased compensation. The cost to the count) and state in providing the normal course for the 17 teachers last year was just as great as it would have been had the attendance averaged 50. Thc public money is being ex pended and thc people-the patrons of the schools-are not getting full value in re turn because of the manifest ?ndi&?rpprg on the-P3S?? oi ant teacher ever attended one of these normal schools with out beiDg greatly benefitted. It matters not how many di plomas a teacher may hold he stands in need of being taught how to instruct and develop the youthful mind. The teachers of Edgefield county are peculiarly in need of this training because the majority of them are young, and have not the "lamp oil experience" to guide them. Col. F. N. K. Bailey has very kindly consented for the sessions of the summer school to be held in the col lege building. Board can be had in Edgefield at a very reasonable rate. Unless providentially kept a w a y every teacher in the county should be enrolled. Holds up a Congressman "At the end of the campaign," writes Champ Clark, Missouri's brilliant congressman, "from over work, nervjus tension,loss of sleep and constant speaking I had about utterly collapsed. It seemed that all the organs in my body were out 3f order, but three bottles of Elec tric Bitters made me all right. It's the best all-around medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter."
