Others have applied for admmission but the dormitories are filled. Senator Tillman will make his first address in Augusta this evening on the race ques- j tion. "*A warm number is ex pected. He will doubtless be on hand for it is near enough to make the trip with his car riage and pair if he hasn't re covered his wallet yet. Mrs. Carrie Nation, who has been shocking bar keep ers for several years is now shocked herself by very low cut gowns. Being booked for.a lecture in New York al few nights ago, she refused to appear on the rostrum with young lady whom she said "wore no more clothes than one of the park statues" What is the matter over in Saluda? A homicide occurs nearly every week, the last victim being a negro who was shot to death Friday night near Batesburg. Would not a first class hanging put a quietus upon this wholesale shedding of human blood? The law abiding citizens, of I whom there are many in the laws are properly"entorce Senator Dean, of Green ville, has stated that he in tends introducing a very strin gent vagrancy law, one simi lar to the Calvin law of Geor gia, at the next session of the legislature. Some means must be found for driving back to the farms the loafing negroes that have flocked to the towns. This is being ac complished in Georgia by the much talked of vagrancy law. On account of the drought and rust, cotton in many sec . tions of the South has litera lly died and is drying up. With the old crop man ufactured and the new crop in such a condition as this the price certainly should not de cline further. There's no telling, however, what the speculators will do for it. The market used to be con trolled by "supply and de mand" but now its the "bnlls a/id the bears." The business men of Co lumbia will co-operate as nev er before with the State Fair association in making the next fair the most successful and profitable one ever held. Heretofore very few exhibits have appeared *irom this county. There is no good reason why old Edgefield should not be awarded many of the prizes annually. We trust that our people will not longer be indifferent. Do not wait till the eleventh hour to prepare for an exhibit. The St. Louis Exposition commission that was appoint ed some time ago by Govern or Hey ward is about to aban don the ship. A thorough canvas of the legislators i .shows that a majority are still opposed to making a j state exhibit, whieh means that no appropriation for that purpose will be made by the! next legislature. Great is the j pity. Georgia is already col-| lecting her exhibit and is moving forward, upward and onward, while we are retro grading in the matter of ad-1 vertising our resources and advantages to the world. As soon as the bulk of the crop has been gathered the vise farmer will set about to make his fertilizers at home. A great deal of the time from November till March, four months, could be very profitably spent in that way. One of our local dealers in commercial ferti? lizers has informed us that the manufacturers have ad vanced the price about twen ty per cent. The farmers fortunately hold the key to ?the situation. The factories make the fertilizers and are obliged to sell it. The price is regulated to some extent by the demand, which farm ers control, and if it be con siderably lighter than last sea son the price is apt to de cline. THOUSJtXDS OF DOLLARS LOST. The ADVERTISER has vainly urged upon the people the need.-yes,the actiul necessi ty- of a brick making plant in Edgefield. By not having one Edgefield has recently lost several thousand dollars that can never pe regained. The money that has been sent out of town to pay for the bricks that are being used in the erection of the college building could have been kept at home. Many towns are not so fortunate in having suitable clay, but Edgefield is favored in that respect as in many others. The oil mill, the cotton mill, and every brick building that adorns our public spuare were built of bricks that were made of | Edgefield clay and yet our people were not aggressive and progessive enough to make the half million and more bricks for the college build ing. Every dollar of money that is being paid out for ma terial except for cement, lime,doors and sash, could have been- kept at home. Edgefie'd could be ship ping certain kinds of building material to other places in stead of sending money to them for theirs. Unless we as a people seize upon our unquestioned advan tages, improve the passing op portunities to build np our town and develop our God given resources, who is going to do it? After the lapse of'j years^sh :owns Decome nore progessive and out strip ts we will send up a wail ;omething like this:Of all ?ad words of tongue or pen he saddest and most galling ;o us are, it might have been -otherwise JOHNSTON.

Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere. The springs of red blood are found in the soft core pt the bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. ' Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen .with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil. "For pale school girls and invalids and for all whose blood is thin and pale, Scott's Emulsion is a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work. Send for free sample.
