THE stock of Edgefield's two banks is in demand at a handsome premium, but they cannot yet quite measure noses with the Germania Sav ings Bank, o f Charleston, whose stock sold a few days ago for $1,500 per share while the par value was only $250. ScJth Carolina has the dis tinction of having probably the strongest bank in the south. EFFECTIVE WORK. SENATOR Tillman, to use an expression ot the street, had the Republicans on the run for some days pri or to the adjournment of the 57th Congress and while in possession of this point of vantage put in some effective work for his constituency. He secured-what at first seemed impossible-an adverse com mittee report upon Crum's nomination and intercepted the vote of the senate upon said nomination. But for the $300,000 secured by him work on the dry dock at Charleston would have been -^temporarily suspended for lack of available funds. He also won the fight involving the payment of Suth Carolina's claim for $47,245 against the national government. Tillman's recent speech up on the race question has eli cited muchfavorable comment and is said to have been the "ablest and most temperate deliverance he has made since he became a senator." Strange to say, it is not Till manesque. Instead of prob ing the vitals of the Republi can with his pitch-fork he used a shovel, cramming their ears with such stunning and irrefutable facts, in his review of the racial conditions in the South, as to put them to con sternation and confusion. He has received thousands of re ?pjxopjes of this speech hundreds of w?uch were from the North. Since the above was writ ten, President Roosevelt, af ter reconvening the senate *in extra session, again sent Dr. Cram's nominate to the sen ate. It is a case of "Greek meets Greek" and Senator Tillman declares emphatical ly that he will a second time prevent a vote on it GAME PRESERVES. CONSIDERING the un expected source-the Aiken correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle-we are doubly grateful for the free advertisement given a portion of our county as shown by the folio wing: "The northern ers ought to go into Edgefield county, in the neighborhood of Stevens' creek, Meeting Street, etc. There game is so abundant and so unmoles ted that it scarcely knows the fear of man. A game pre serve in that section would be a rich field for years to come. Our visitors can see after this next winter." Should wealthy northerners become interested as above suggested a greater tranform ation would be wrought in the hills and dales of Meeting Street and vicinity than has been wrought in the sand beds of Aiken. With thou sands of dollars so prodigally expended those "hills would break forth into singing and all the trees of '.he fields would clap their hands." This suggestion is not such jjjay dream as some may think. On the contrary, it is easily within the range of pos sibilities. Mr. E.A. Burdett, the wealthy northern gentle ^whose annual visits to Ecf|w are a pleant anticipation^!?}', leases the Pickens estafe fee ing preserve, that is, he a"ver) nice sum annually the exclusive privilege of h ing thereon. In-stead of tracting from the estate i creases the revenue theref and makes it easier to pre trespassing on the premise Court Proceedings. Court convened on Monday morning with Hon. J. C. Klugh as presiding judge. The solicitor, stenographer and other court officials were at their respective posts. On account of quarantine regula tions three grand jurors and five petit jurors were prevent ed from attending. This, however, did not seriously retard the progress as the five mile jury box was called into requisition. The March term of criminal docket is the lightest on record Only three indictments, all against Edgefield fire bugs, were handed the grand jury and a true bill was found in each case. Monday was con sumed with the case of the State vs "Chris McManus, in dieted for forgery, not guilty. The State was represented by the solicitor and J. W. De Vore, Esq., and the defendant by Messrs, S. McG. Simkins and S. M. Smith. As we go to press on Tues day, Ella Morse, charged with assault and battery, is being tried. The solicitor is representing the State and J. W. DeVore, Esq., the def en dant. The grand jury was dis charged Tuesday at noon and it is probable that the docket will be cleared and court adjourn sine die this afternoon or Thursday morning. LAW BEING ENFORCED. GOVERNOR Hey ward is being generally com mended for the aggressive war that is being wageo] against the blind tigers of Charleston. He is after the constables, consequently thc constables are after the "ti gers". Sixteen of these illi cit dealers in liquor were con victed and fined $50 each. A change of sentiment in the city, in favor of enforcing the law, made these convictions possible. Owing to shrewdness, born of frequent violations and eva sions of the officers of the law, it is difficult for the offi cers; to apprehend these illicit dealers. In losing their sight these "tigers" evidently had their other senses quickened. The constables raided the lair of one in which it was gener ally conceded that liquor was sold but the only seizures was one corkscrew, nine glasses and one funnel. The laugh was on the constables. COLD SPBING. Dear ADVERTISER: The rain continues, the roads are muddy, the flour and meal in the barrel are low and we must be up and doing. Farm work is being delay ed by the wet weather. Mr. Perry Brown and Miss JRu theil a Bodie were happily married at the home of the bi i do's father, Mr. R. L. Bodie, on March 5th, 1903, Rev. J. T. Littlejohn offici ating. We wish the happy couple a bright and prosperous future. If "Incogoitus" will oom? over we will show bim pretty girls till be cannot rest. He will think, talk and dream of them. We have from one to teven in each family. Ai proof that they are pretty, we have weddings often. I know that the Clarks Hill girls are pretty, for I am the happy possessor of one of them myself, and I know whereof I speak. We bear of orange blos ses? ?non. There is not an old bachelor in our territory. There are enough young men in our territory to have whipped Grant's army at the time Lee sur rendered. One hundred little tots are in regular attendance upon our school, and not half beard from.

Cau you beat that ? v Dr. Bell was over Wednesday on professional business. He is highly pleased with the condition of the roads. Mr. E. T. Christian is putting the finishing touches on our church which will soen be completed. The strange light recently seen around Effie occurred, in this way : George Bush, who is fond of smok ing his pipe, lit it one night with a big straw and Joe Prince saw it. No one need be alarmed. Mr. John West lost two valuable milch cow? a few nights ago. A new magistrate bad up a bog thief a few days ago, and after hearing the case the judge prompt ly decided it was manslaughter, and sentenced him to 30 days hard labor on bis farm. Mr. H.

As late as six o'olock in the af ternoon it was decided best to postpone "The Old Folks Concert".
