BUMS. - EDITOR TERMS: ONE YEAR $150 SIX MONTHS 75 ?WEDNESDAY7JAN. 24,~ 1906 Firmness, both in suffering* and exertion, is a character which I would wish to possess.-I have al ways despised the whining? yelp of " complaint, and the cowardly feeble rosolve.-BURNS, "Going, going, gone," may be aptly applied to thu South Caroli na dispensary. Hasten the day when the last word, GONE, can be said with due emphasis. ? just reward has been meted out to John G. Capers. Several ' years ago he roBOUuced.the Demo cratic faith, to become an hireling of the Republican party. Now the latter has thrown him overboard . by-electing E. F. Cochran, Esq., of Anderson, United States attor ney for the district of South Caro lina in his stead. We were delightedjto learn from the lips of Editor C. J. Terrell that the Monitor would henceforth eschew ali liquor advertisement. The contracts for the liquor ad vertisements which Mr. Terrell has been publishing have all ex . pired and he refuses to renew them. Three out of the four coun ty papers-the Monitor, News and Advertiser-have taken au un compromising stand against liquor selling, both at home and abroad. Traffic with the great railroad systems is now up to the high water mark. The passenger de partment is worki?g o\er-time hauling-Yankees to the ''Sunny South", while the freight depart r~~ment is rushing thousands of tons of commercial lertilizers to the interior. The S juthern railroad has recently placed orders for .v 8,729 freight oars in order to re lieve the congestion caused by shortage of cars. No better dispensers can be found than the three, Messrs. E. C. Winn, W. E. Byrd and R. T. Scurry, who were in charge at the-time the dispensaries were closed. Had the officials all along the line, from the highest to the lowest, discharged their respective ..duties as faithfully and honestly as did.Edgefield's officials, the in stitution would not now be so . severely -criticised, or its life in* such jeopardy. Whatwe'have said of the Edgefield's dispensers will apply with equal force to tho county board.. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. E., J.-Watson, as immigration commissioner, has labored un ceasingly and with excellent re sults for South Carolina, he is ap preciated less at home than abroad. The city of Augusta has raised through the Chamber of Commerce $40,000 which is to be be expended in advertising and otherwise ad vancing the city's interest. Mr. Watson haB been offered the posi tion of secretary of the Augusta Chamber of Commerce which car ries with it an annual salary of - $3,000. Should he accept this flat- ! teripg offer his departure wonld be a distinct loss to South Caroli na. Prohibition seems to be pro hibiting very satisfactorily in Edgefield. And it will continue to prohibit if the would-be violators are given to understand from the j outset that every violation of the law will be speedily ?nd severely punished. Let the punishment be a term on the chain gang instead of a fine. Sentencing a blind tiger to-pay a fine of a few dollars does not amount to a hill of beans. His money comes easy and goes easy. What does he care for such so called punishment. Let The Rural Free Delivery Routes be Continued. Tidings from. Washington tell us that the post office department will at an early day begin to cut off many of the rural free delivery routes. In sections where they aro not patronized or appreciated they will be discontinued. We sincerely trust that none in Edgefield coun .ty will be lopped off, for we have not all now that we are eutitbd to. The routes that do not handle as much as 2,000 pieces of mail a mouth are doomed, so say those tu authority iu Washington. . Their discontinuance will be a great misfortune to many rural sectious, especially those remote from the towns and railroads. By reason of their being?isolated and sparsely settled, these remote Bections need the best of mail facilities. Further more, the bad roads iu winter make rural, free delivery almost imperative in some localities. It ts much easier and less expensive foroueman to cai ry the mail to twenty-five fanners than it is for" i ? ummn ' i ? i "gm 11 m ypmmii tfcose twenty-five farmers ?o send each, a mau a goodly number of miles to tho post office. Let's en deavor through our representatives ii* congress to have every rural route in our county continued. Edgefield Deeply Grieved Over The Death of Mrs. L. R. Gwalt. ney. When the intelligence of the death of Mrs. Sophie Lipscomb Gwaltney, wife of Rev. Dr. L |R. Gwaltney, reached Edgefield last week there was much genuine sorrow manifested on pvery hand. |.This good woman, so widely be loved wherever known, was boru, reared and spent the major por tiou of her life in our town. The ol ler inhabitants kn^w ber from early youth, wbilejit was the pleas ure of the younger to kuow her but a few* of her latter years; however, all will cherieh her memory with sincerest and deep est affection. The hearts of Edgefield frieude share this deep sorrow aud go out iii tenderest sympathy to the affectionate bueband aud devoted daugbtprs in tbie hour of affliction. The Rome Tribune had the following to say of Mrs. Gwalt uey's death: January the 14th, Sunday morning, at 7:45, after months of great suffering, Mrs. Sophie Gwaltney, beloved wife of Dr. Luther- Gwaltney, passed peace fully away at her home in East Rome. The end was not wholly Un expected and the loved ones from a distance, aa those who had nur tured the invalid in the long period of ill health, surrounded the bedside. Triumphantly with a radiant smile and song on her lips, the patient sufferer closed her eyes ou earth to open them in the laud of the redeemed. ''0, Death where is thy t'tiug: .0 Grave where is thy victory." -Yesterday afternoon nt 3:30 o'clock the fuueral services were conducted at the Firet Baptist church by the pastor, Dr. R. B. Headden, assisted by Rev. G. G. Syd nor. As in softened tones the strains of "Come Ye Disconsolate" f*:U from the organ, the family fol lowed the casket into the church. Reverently Dr. Headden read the lesson aud with sorrowing hearts the great concourse of friends and admirers bowed their heads for the comforting prayer that from Mr. Syduor's lips as cended to the throne of grace beseeching solace for the grief stricken, the broken hearted. Tenderly her pastor in a brief peroration referred to the holy life ol the gentle sleeper dwelling upon her many virtues, her cour age, patience, long suffering, resignation and sublime faith. Her home life was beyond com pare and the dutis'3 of wifehood and motherhood her richest jew-i els to redound ever to the glory of j ber memory. The quartette sang "Rock cf j ?ges'.'and Mrs. Patton rendered exquisitely, asa solo, "The Ho^ne of the Soul." AB a mark: of respect Shorter College faculty and students at tended the obsequies in a body and as a testimonial of love and respect laid two handsome floral offerings upon the casket. The Alumnae Association of Shorter and the Mobley Park church, of which Dr. Gwaltney is pastor, also expressed their sympathy in fragrant flowers beautifully woven into the significant forms of^ an anchor and harp. Several other pretty pieces breathed the same sweet message of love. On Myrtle Hill, the services ar rested at the church, were resumed and all that was mortal of the fondly loved wife and mother was consigned to the last narrow home there to rest until the Judgment |?ay. '__ COLD SPRING. Mrs. 0. 0. Timmormau, reborn we reported last week as being very ill, died at her home last Saturday morning and was buried at the Grove church Sunday after noon. Bro. J. T., Littlejohn con ducted the funeral service. Mrs. Timmerman was tho daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Bussey. She married Mr. 0. 0. Timmerman about ten years ago. As a result) of this union three bright children were given, to them. Mrs. Timmer man in early childhood learned to love her Saviour. Shejoiued the Grove church and has lived a cou-? sistent christian life. She will be missed in her home, community and church, for she carried sun shine every where she went. She leaves a father, mother, two broth ers, three sisters, a husband, three children and a host of friends to mourn her loss. We Bhall never clasp her hand again in this world, never hear her sweet voice again, yet we ail hope to meet her on the other shore. She said just before dying that she wanted to j rest, and we believe that she is[ now at rest with her Saviour,'rest, sweet rest. May God comfort the I bereaved ones. Mr. '"Willie McDaniel has a child quite sick with pneumonia. We hope for its speedy recovery, j Mr. Henry Eubanks has been quite sick, but .is some better at this writing. Mr. George Johneou is building| a new buggy house. Mr. R. M. Johnson is building I Mr. James Collins a new house. Mr. Clarence Mathis is having a bouse built ajso.

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon (rj^j ? disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born ? afflicted with weak kid =- neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, v/hen the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the caude of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment cf these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.
