Cotton brought 12? cents-8 pouuds to the dollar-in Edgefield last week and may bring more this I week. I Pretty Miss Ruth Cogburn is ?spending a fortnight in Spartan burg visiting her friend Miss Angelle Andrews. There's something doing in Edgefield -four trains a day be sides the rock train. The South ern does not run trains for fun. It is said that appendicitis finds I its victims among the wealthy and does not attack poor folkB. Then newspaper men are immune to the disease. It will pay the Edgefield shop pers, the ladies especially, to road the new advertisement of the Comer Store. Mr. Turner tell* of bis mid-summer arrivals and at tractive prices. Mr. Wallace Sheppard has stea dily improved since he was opera ted on for appendicitis in the Au gusta hospital on Wednesday last. He will have recovered sufficiently to return to his home ip about two week P. Miss Lillian Smith, accompan ied by Miss Nettie Bell, of Parks ville, who is attending the summe, school, visited her cousin, Mist Elliot Hardy, of Johnston, ou Sun day last. At the regular monthly confer ence of our Baptist church on Sunday last Mrs. M. C.

Since our last issue another pret ty young teacher, Miss Helen Wright, of Johnston, has become an attendant upon the summer school. She and Miss Lula Wright, who has been attending the sum mer school since the opening day, are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Jones. Although turnip seed have ad vanced The Penn Drug Store has just received n large lot of fresh seed direct from the celebrated Buist seed farms and is selling them at the old price. Mr. R, L. Dunovant is always on the alert to to promote the welfare of the patrons of The Penn Drug Store. Read their new locals. The Edgefield cotton mill, like hundreds of other mills, has great difficulty in obtaining sufficient cotton to keep its spindles run ning full time. Mr. H. A. Smith went to Spartanburg last week to purchase cotton, buying 100 balee from the Pascolet mille. Usually the cotton seeks the buperbut now the buyers go out and search the highways and hedgeB for cotton. Such would always be the case ii it were made a secondary instead of primary crop. Mr. Josse Lott, who graduated recently from the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute, stopped iu Edgefield . on Saturday last while en route to Rod Hill to cofei with the trustees there with re. ference to teaching the Red HilJ school next session. Mr. Loti was a hard student and having completed the full I!. E. course h( is well fitted for teaching. W< wish him abundant success in hil chosen field. There is geperal complaint o the scaicity of labor. The quarrj has had a very demoralizing effec upon lobor in the vicinity of Edge field. There the common lahore receives from 90 cents to $1.10 pe day and it is, of course, out of th question for farmers to pay cucl prices. Should farmers try to mak crops with $ j a day labor the sher iff would "git em" this fall, Th work at the quarry is much barde and more hazardous than work oi the farms but the workmen seer p,ot to pare for this, The annual meeting of th 8. jobholders of *t h e Edgefiel Building and Loan Associatif? was held on Wednesday last. Th affairs of the association wei found to be in a very satisfacto' condition. The officers wer n elected aud B. E. Nicholson jisq was elected a director iu?t.ad c Mz. p. H. Fisher. Besides ec a bl in g; many of li'rited means' t purchase homes, the associatio has'added thousands of dollars I the taxable property of EdgefieU To The Thinking Thousands July 4th being a legal holiday both bank's of our town will be closed on that day. Let the ADVERTISER kujw when you haye friends visiting your home. Mrs. E. W. McLeuna, of John ston, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Jones. Mrs. Kate Black and Miss Flor rie Morrall are visiting relatives at Allendale and Millett. m Mr. J. W. Peak visited bis branch store at Meeting Street on Thursday last. Hon. and Mrs. W. J. Talbert have been for the last wee^ at the bedside of their son, Mr. E. H. Talbert. Lexington has a Lazy Club and The Sons of Rest. How would SHch organizations thrive in Edge field ? Mr. W. E. P. thro, the mayor of Williston, S. C., spent several ?days in Edgefield last week an the guest of Dr. ard Mrs. E. C. Smith. Mr. Willie Cogburn, who has been playing good ball on the Cp lumbia team spent Sunday at home, leaving Monday to play a serieB of games in Augusta and Co lumbia this week. Mrs. James T. Ouzts, of Elm wood, accompanied by her daugh ter, Mrs. G. T. Asbill, spent Satur day last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harliug. The crops over the county are small for the season but generally they are in a growing condition. Tf worked well they will regain what has been lost. Married, on Thursday afternoon last, at the residence of the offici?t ing minister, by Rev. P. P. Blalock, Mr. ?William Covar and Miss Sadie Callihara, both of Edgefield. While in Edgefield on Thursday last Hon. W. A. Strom purchased avery handsome carriage from Messrs Ramsey & Jones. It was the most expensive vehicle that has been brought to this market. May the Great Physician yet stay the disease and restore young Talton Brunsou to health. For several days he has been lying at the point of death and the latest intelligence, es wo go to press on Tuesday,is that he is no better. Col. and Mrs. F. N. K. Bailey, accompanied by the little ones, ar rived from Bamberg on Friday last. They will go by private conveyance to Clyde, N. C., next week where they will spend a mouth or six weeks at the Skyland Home hotel. We regret that Mr. E. H. Talbert is very ill with typhoid fever at his home .three miles south of Edgefield. He is receiving the best possible attention but a pro longed attack of fever will go very hard with him as he has been in bed only three days in his life on account of sickness. Mrs. B. D. Thames, who has been quite sick for more than a month, was thought to be strong enough on Thursday laet to be carried to the home of her parents at Lykesland, Richland county. On arriving in Columbia she was takpn suddenly worso and Mr. Thames carried her to the hospital where 6he will remain sometime for treatment. A colored friend called at our sanctum a few days ago and asked for a "catlin margage,"but our stock in trade of blanks did not contain one that answered to that name. Possibly that is one of the vagaries of the last legislature that has come to light-the change of nomenclature or creation of a new legal form or blank. In order save the expense of conducting two stores, such as rents, etc.. Messrs. Ramsey & Jones have decided to move thoir stock of jewelry and silver ware into their main store. The liue of silver ware is a fitting comple ment to several other lines of their large stock of house furnishings. The change will be made as soon as the handsome wall case that is being nade is completed. Mr. W. H. Turner spent the greater part of last week in Au gusta assisting in nursing his lit tle nephew, the nine-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Sarling. This bright little child died on Friday and was buried Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Sarling have been sorely bereaved, having lost four of their five children. The sympath}- of their Edgefield friends is with them in this dark home. A professional mau in Edgefielc remarked to us that as cotton hac reached 12 cents he would have t( take down his shingle, shut u\ sh )\, and buy a farm. He thiuki there is more money jn cotton a 10 cents than in almost anythinj else. There may not be mori money in farming than can bi made in some other pursuits bu we confidently believe that, al things considered, there is mor genuine happiness. We kuow of one farmer in Edge field county who made 22 heav bales of cotton last year with tw mules. He averaged 10 cents pouud for his entire crop and ye hundreds say that no money ca be made at faiming. The farme in question does not live in whs might lie called a garden spc? c the county and ii seems tba roany others could do what'he'bc done. Success or failure depenc more' upon \he man than upo rnveronments or the pursuit cbosa J his is true not only of fantail but of all lines of human end^ayo A Strong: Testimoni.il Mr. Ediior : I feel it ray duty to express pub licly ray appreciation of the satis factory manner in which Mr. Jas. T. Minis' company, Liverpool & London & Globe Insurance Com pany, has dealt with me in the loss of ray house by fire. They have paid th* full amouot of poli cy, being $1,675. Very respectfully, j. M. MCKIE. Barn and Contents Burned On Saturday night last at about two o'clock one of the large barns of Dr. W. E. P cott was burned. The building ntained a great quantity of oaL, corn and fodder, which was also burned. Tba en ti.e loss is entimated at $1,000; no insurance. The origin of tho fire is unknown. The hour at which the fire occurred would cause one to suspect that it was the act of an incendiary. The friends of Dr. Prescott regret that he has sus tained such a heavy loss. Given a Reception Upon the return of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley G. Ouzts from their wedding journey on Wednesday evening last Sheriff and Mrs. W. H. Ouzts gave them a delightful reception at their home. A great number of Edgefield's young peo ple were invited to participate in the pleasurers of the evening. For the present Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Ouzts are boarding at the home of Mrs. Ida F' Sheppard, where they are "at home" to their friends PRIMARY ELECTION. Partial Returns from Tuesday's Election. A full and accurate report of the result of the primary cannot be given before Thurs day, when the official count will be made. Had we held this issue over] for complete returns many of our readers would not have received their paper till Saturday. We tel ephoned for the Johnston and Trenton re'urns, which, with the Edgefield vote, we give in full : FOR SUPERVISOR: Ed fid John Tren I Bell j Cheltham Cochran; Mays Parks Quarles Self I Total - ID the first primary of last year Johnston's vote was 207, Trenton's 81 and Edgefield's 270. A total of 558 votes,against 320 Tuesday. This is 45 per cent less than last year. If the vote has been proportionately light at all of the 22 precincts not over 900 votes have been polled,against 1,571 last year. It is piobable that a second pri mary will be necessary to elect a Supervisor. Not until the official count is made will it be definitely known who will be in the second race. ? The ADVERTISER will give a full report next week. A Postal Card. We herewith reproduce verbatim 0t Vtterat\m what appeared on a postal card that was received a few days ago by Messrs. Ramsey & Jones, of our town, from ons of their numerous patrons: - May 4 1903 R'. f d. no. 3. Jahnston. S. C.

JOE ABNEY. The Rough Roads. During winter and early spring the cry was bad roads, now it is the rough roads. Although the roads are firm, and heavy loads can be drawn over them, they are misera bly rough. The deep ruts and holes that were made by heavy wagons when the ground was soft are siill there. If a man drives for 25 miles over some of Edge field's roads and does not feel the effects of the joltings and jnsthngE for a week afterwards he must be made of clay of an extraordinary kiud, The point we wish to make is that while tho roads ar3 ver) rough they are passable now bu should these ruts and holes reman there till fall, the Feasou in whicl good roads are most needed, they will beoome practically impassabli Could these places be fillod now i would not requ're much time o labor. It is up to the Buperviso to grapple with this road problem If popsible the convict force should be increased so as to cove as mauy miles of roads in summe as possible.

It is very important that you, as manager of your iustitute,give am ple publicity to the fact that the institute ia to be held there on the above date so that all who may desire to do so can attend. ? notice in your local or county paper will be an excellent means of advertising it, and hand bills or posters would serve a valuable purpose.

I wish also to have it thoroughly known that the State Farmer's In stitute will be held at Clemson College, August 10th to 14th.

J Scareoly had tin- traveling pub lic adjusted itself to the recent change in the railway schedule be 1 fore another change was announc . ed which became effective on Sun I day last. The last change was I made necessary on account of the rock trains between Edgefield and Aiken having been put on. Until further notice the early morning train will leave at 6 and return at 9:10; the second train leaves at 12:10 and returns at 2: 25; the third train leaves at 3:20 and returns at 5:50 and the fourth train leakes at 5:50. returns at 6:45. On Sundays there will be no early morning nor late after noon trains. Edgefield will re ceive mail on three trains, at 9:10 a. rn, at 2:25 and 5:50 p. m., in stead of two as heretofore. Under the new schedule those who go to Augusta for the day will leave that city at 1 instead of 3 p. ra. as formerly. We direct attention to the letter of appreciation from Mr. J. M. McKie which we publish else where. Not long since tho valua ble property owned by Mr. McKie, known as the Lanham place, near Ropers was bumed. It wae in sured by Mr. J. T. Mims in the Globe and Liverpool and London insurance company. As soon as the proof of loss was properly prepared the face of the policy, $1675, was paid without a word. Mr. "iras represents other large and very re liable fire iusurauco companies, also the New York Life insurance company. ?tBEDFOll^j BLACK-DRAUGHT THE ORIGINAL ?LIVER MEDICINE ' A sallow complexion, dizziness,^* biliousness and a coated tongue are common indications of liver and kidney diseases. Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, But liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Thedford's Black-Draught never fails to bene fit diseased liver and weakened kid neys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive or cholera and Bright's disease of the kidneys. With kidneys re inforced by Thedford's Black Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yel low fever. Many families live in Serfect health and have no other octor than Thedford's Black Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a uoctor. Mullins, S.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or cjt of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart i; over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteriis. It used to be considered that only urinarj troubles were to be traced to the kidneys but now modern science proves that near!} all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. .?
