Liberal contracts made for three, six, and twelve months THE ADVERTISER, Edgefield, S. C. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 3, 1902. Uncle Sam is not quite bankrupt, having on hand five hundred million dollars in gold alone. This breaks all pre vious records of the gold reserve. Edgefield will henceforth be known as the mother of counties, her offspring being Aiken, Saluda, Greenwood and-shall we add Calhoun ? No, NO. An electric road is being surveyed from Columiab to Lexington. Saluda's business .men are hopeful that it will ultimately be extended to their enterprising little city. May their hopes be realized. It was a very graceful act, that of adjustantgenef?Frost in.appointing as his Assistant one of his opponents in the last campaign, Capt. John M. Patrick, of Anderson . The appointment is being general ly commended. The town of Union has re cently had an exodus of law yers. This is prima facie evi dence that the people of the county are deporting them selves well ; so well that the outlook was not very assuring to some of the legal profes sion. . TEE WEST SIDE CO ITA TY The new county movement, of which so much has been spoken and written, has now flBHBS&?^?r?n!!^^ like shape. A survey has been made 'of the proposed boundaries which places the area-at 403 square miles-185 square miles having been cut | irom Edgefield, 156 from Abbeville and 62 from Green wood. A map setting forth the re sult of the survey along with other necessory papers have been submitted to the gover nor, also a petition asking that an election be ordered. If all requirements of the constitu tion have been complied withi an election will be ordered. Surely the great majority of I the people of v/id Edgefield are notgoing to stand idly by and j see the county further dis membered without protesting I against it Shall the facts and figures as submitted to the governor go unchallenged? Estimates will not suffice in a matter of such great impor tance as the one in question, Facts must be given. We have not a word of censure for those who have labored so assiduously for the formation of Calhoun county but we would restrain them were it in our power. We were born in Edgefield and expect to live, die and have our bones buried beneath her soil, con sequently we guard her pres ents and future welfare with a jealous eye. It behooves every loyal son of the old county to put forth every effort to stay the hand that is raised to cast her asun der. ?

I can ch nie " RHEUM ACIDE," ?or It ls by fur tho l Price |i.oo prepaid expr?s Bobbitt Chemical Co., We like the nai..e embryonic county, Calhoun at the mere mention of the name the heart of every inge nuous South Carolinian wells up with patriotic sentiment but we think its promoters have displayed bad taste in announcing its name before the new county sees the light, for, unless all signs fail, we believe it will prove to be a false conception. S TS WJ RDS AND DEA CONS ON DUTY Once upon a time "some thing" broke loose in Georgia, now "we uns" on this side of the river are in great trepida tion. The ruler of the neth er world lias bided his time. During this week he can stalk up and down, in and out the highways and hedges unchal lenged in many sections of the state, as all of the Metho dist and Baptist ministers are in attendance upon the annual gatherings of their respective denominations. While the shepherds are away the flocks are prone to go astray, lt is up to the stewards and deacons to keep them in the straight and narrow path. But who will keep stewards and deacons straight ?

"Chronic cases" that's what the doctors call them, which in common English means-long sickness. To stop the continued loss of flesh they need Scott's Emulsion. For the feeling of weakness they need Scott's Emulsion. It makes new flesh and gives new life to the weak system. - -, Scott's Emulsion gets thin and weak persons out of the rut. It makes new, rich blood, strengthens the nerves and gives appetite for ordinary food. Scott's Emulsion can be taken as long as sickness lasts and do good ali the time. There's new strength and flesh in every dose. We will be glad to send you a few doses free. Bc sure that this picture in thc form ot a label ia on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy.
