When heavy rains fall in Texas the cotton market'ri?es in South Carolina. Hence, frowns from the Texans mean smiles from the Carolinians. A Fair each for Augusta & nd Columbia, and a Gala Week for j Charleston, should afford fun enough for all-big, little, old and young.

The sentences recently imposed > by Judge Me mm in ger upon viola tors of the dispensary law will : ; have a deterrent effect. Those who persist in selling liquor against io protests of the law abiding citizens of a community should be jade to suffer for their trans ?jrjressions. Better let whiskey and listols alone rather than serve a 3rm of months on the county agaDg, especially an Edge Bi? county ohaingang, for there it is all work'and no play. What the papers could truth* fully and very appropriately term "quiet wedding" was solemn id in Augusta last week. - The le and groom were both deaf id dumb, and the bridesmaid id officiating minister were.also mies. Just how the momentan? little words "I will" were express ly? do not know, but it is safr Say that there were no "frogs" th6 throats of-the contracting rfcies. < Phonographs have become preachers and politicians. The Salvation Army uses the phono graph tr/preach to the tbroDg on 8treet|corners, and William Met rat, being unable to appear before the people in the. rural districts of New York, has purchased a large number of the latest talking ma chines and will send them ont with his agents to "CUBB" the trusts. Om account of the large crowd hr the city tc-day, it was thought wise to haye the dispensary closed This waa done in order that as much trouble as possible could be avoided.-Orangeburg Evening News. If closing the dispensary for one day will be attended with good results, why will not ol "ing it from day to day-permanent ly-accomplish greater good? Edgefield has proven this to be the case. During the eight days that court has been in session the crowds have been very quiet and orderly-conspicuously so. Some of the jurors aDd witnesses have noticed and commented upon the improved conditions. ! In almost every avocation wo men are vieing with men without a word of protest frcm the latter. There is, however, just.one thing that the men do now and ever shall object to, and that is for the women to wear the "breeches." Why, they tell us that just the other day a woman who was tramping the streets of Aiken with her husband looking for w:rk was arrested because she was dressed in overalls like man wear - Women can do anything under the sun but wear the "breeches,"* Men draw the line there. Not at any time since the Span ish-American war, has South Caro lina been entirely free from small pox. Realizing that it is impossi ble to stump out this loathsome disease unless the great masses of the. people are vaccinated, the state board of beal'h will take steps to enforce the compulsory vaccination law. Where towns are enforcing the law the state board will not interfere, but where there is no disposition on the part of the town authorities to enforce compulsory vaccination ordinan ces the Btate board will take the matter up when called to its at tention. Edge field has such an ordinance Lut thus far it has been a dead letter. Unwarranted Discrimination. Can anybody tell what amount of money is actually needed hy the, authorities of Clemson col lege lo properly carry on the work pf that institution?,. Besides ^the income such .as ; the Hatch and Clemson bequests,- this college has always received the entire, amount collected from the fertilizer tag tax. Several years ago this tax was considerably less than one hundred thousand dollars; and then Clemson seemed to have sufficient revenue to meet every demand. Last year the receipts amounted to $130,000, nearly , $40,000 more than for the year before, and yet the authorise managed to spend it all or nearly all. For the year 1906 the tag tax will break all former records by probably reaohiog the enormous sum of $175,000, all of which will go into the treasury of this insti tution. This question naturally arises : [f less than a $100,000 sufficed two years ago, and $130,000 met the gdomands of last year, does Clemson actually need all of the $175,000 that will be collected this year? Why then give this in stitution a much larger amount than is necessary to prosecute its work when Winthrop, the Citadel and the University of South Caro lina are all more or less handicap ped by the lack of funds? Does there not exist an unjust discrimination. Notice of Election. For State and County Officers, and Upon Proposed Amendment to the State Constitution. SI*ATB OF SOUTH COOLINA. County of Edgefield.

Kidney trouble ha; become so prevalen that it is not uncommoi for a child to be borr ' afflicted with weak kid neys. lithe child urin ates too often, if thc urine scalds the flesh or if, when the chile reaches an age when it should be able tc control the passage, it ls yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause ol the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment ot these important organs. This unpleasam trouble is due to a diseased condition of. thc 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.
