Edffef ield Advertiser J. L. MIMS, - - - EDITOR. WEDNESDAY DEC 10, 1902. *| THE STATE BAP TIST CONVENTION The crowded condition of j our columns makes a write-up of the convention impossible. In our limited space we could not compass one session, while there were ten in all. It was a large assemblage of con secrated men and) women with an eye single to the glory of God and the upbuilding of his kingdom. One was es pecially impressed with the true dignity and brotherly love that characterized the deliberations of the body. The watchword of the con vention was enlargement, ex pansion along all lines espec ially in education and benev olence. Encouraging reports were made upon every depart ment of denominational work. Not one who attended went away without experiencing a spiritual awakening and quick ening, resolving in his heart to render more loyal service to the Master. The next convention meets at Sumter, on Wednesday be fore the ist Sunday in De cember, 1903. TOUCH NOT. TASTE JiOT! Distillers and sellers of in toxicants, knowing that the approaching holiday season is improperly celebrated by the masses with eating, drinking and making merry to an ex cessive degree, use every means, legitimate and other wise, to increase the demand of that which is tiesignated in South Carolina by X's. The venders of this ally of the world that preys upon the weakness of the flesh to the delight of the devil prove their faith in advertising-especi ally the use of printer's ink by their works. As many magazines and newspapers as will publish their seductive advertisements are liberally patronized. Fearing that other adver tising media may not meet the gaze of spme, whose spir itsjare willing but whose flesh hirings, they flood the coun try with, booklets and circu lars extolling the virtues of their liquid fire. in this gen erous distribution of their liter erature they are no respecters of persons ; preachers, dea cons and all others whose names can be procured are the willing or unwilling recipients. What living man is there who has not received offers to send Christmas jag in sealed, unmarked packages with express prepaid ? Be not ensnared thereby. . Pur chase none of the vile stuff then the further admonition touch not, taste not>-will be unnecessary. We are glad to see that some other papers have an nounced a policy identical with that adopted by the ADJ VERT?S ER some months ago. Our columns are closed to all whiskey advertisements, having repeatedly refused to accept them at any price. When a commodity is adver tised in our columns we con fidently believe that the sale of said commodity is increr.> ed thereby and, as the writer never loses an opportunity to say a word against whiskey drinking, it would be incon sistent to use one column to increase the sale of intoxi cants and an adjoining col umn to suppress it. 1 The ADVERTISER prefers to aid in applying the brakes j to this world-wide evil,rather| than aid in pulling the throttle j wide open, thereby speeding it.

AH Druggist*, or sent express Bobbitt Chemical Co., CLARK'S HIL (Written for last issue.) THE ADVERTISER: AB my other letter escaped the waste-basket, I will try my hand again. Cold weather has come at last and is welcomed by all, I think. The hogs are squealing around this morning. Spare-ribs and back bones for dinner. Fruit growers are busy working their I rees, or preparing land to set out more. There will be about eight orten thoudand let out here this fall, and next spring. This will make about one hundred thou sand set out here in the last few years. Cottoa is now a thing of the past, with moat of the fruit growers. This ie getting to be quite a fruit country, both old and young are crazy to set out an orchard. Hop'? the fruit fever will continue to spread. We expect to have a cannery here in a few years, also a crate factory. Mr. R. H. Scott, cf Cheviot Hill, has one if the finest turnip patches in the neighbor hood. Ho has ^uly half an acre, but will make about one hundred bushels. I saw one this morning at his home that weighed even five pounds, and I think that ho has some heavier than that. He is always, success ful in growing turnips. He bauks them, and has them fresh through the wiuter. One of our bachelors was absent from us last Suuday. He seems to have quite an attraction in other quarters, he seems in earnest here of late. We bachelors will hate to lose our old pard. Air. J. B. Adams, Jr., made a flying trip over this side last Sat urday. There seems to be quite au attraction here for 'he Doctor. Mr. Th?o. Prie*?, of Aiken, was iu our town last Suuday. From the number of visiting young men seen nure last week, it is like ly U?at some of our charming young ladies will leave us soon. We boys will have to stop tbis. Some of our doys are trying to organize a debating society, pro vded the young ladies will help them debate. 1 think that they will help; hop-: so anyway. Thanksgiving dawned clear and cold. Evory-tbing passed off quietly. One of the Bchool-boys was asked what did he have to be thankful for. He said "butter and milk." Mr. M. C. Buisey, of Beaumont, Texas, is ou a visit to his sister, Mrs J. D. King, and relatives. We are expecting a big Christ mas in this section. Hope that we will have some snow. If thiB escap:e the waste-baske 1,11 come again. Much success to the ADVERTISER. Chappie. 1 mrrff>?> Hr L Lilli* Consumption is ? human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young ; when old, sometimes im possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak, land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest The time to treat consump tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win. .Scott's Emulsion,fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. \ We will send you a. little of the Emul sion free. mm [mm ! JI Be sure that this picture in the form of a label M on the wrapper of every bottle ol Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N. Y. 50c. and fr; all druggists.
