IS. isoe. i.-'-'V, m m? m j The greatest loss of time is I delay and expectation whrh de .pends npon the future. We let go. the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance-and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertain tv. SENECA, The middle'of December has passed and no odor of guano has been detected in the air, nor has a sack been seen. A year ago Ecores of tons were hauled in the fall while the roads were firm. The absence of guano at this sea son evidently ? indicates that far mers are proceeding cautiously, endeavoriog to close up this year's transactions before laying plans for l?e future. Following the custom of the vast majority of weekly papars, The Advertiser will "shut up shop" for one week during the holidays. In order for the force . to take a season of rest and enjoy the approaching Yuletide,'the is sne of next week, December the 26tb, will . be omitted. The New Year will be ?utered upon with renewed zeal and energy, it being our purpose to make The Adver tiser a better paper during 1907 than it has ever been. Just as was expected, r?verai of . th? Augusta bucket-shops are arranging to open up for busi ness iu North Augusta after January the 1st. The legislature of Georgia has driven them out of that state by a law which be comes operative with the advent ok* the new year. Now let the ' South Carolina legislature drive them from this state. Will not, some one of the Edgefield dele gation! take the initiative step? It was a son of Edgefield who took up the fight in Georgia and pressed forward until a victory was won. v Considerable dissatisfaction has , been caused in the counties that still have dispensaries by the in-j ^ crease in the cost of liquor to the counties. The new schedule of - cost prices enables the_dispensary to make more money for the state rt^ less^efr~1ihe~-eeu^4iee^-~-Tiie editor of the Barnwell Sentinel elites" that for a Saturday in November, when the old schedule of cost prices was in effect, the sales at Barnwell were ; $260.90, with profits of $67.18, and that , on a given Saturday in December, under the now schedule cf cost prices, the sales amounted to $261.40, with profits of $57.39. These figures clearly show that on one day's business the sum of $9.79 was diverted from the coun ? ty. to the state. It is alleged that this has been done in order to i increase the school fund by the time the legislature convenes. Such sharp practices, as the one above cited, may enable the dis pensary to make a better financial showing, but intelligent men will not be deceived thereby. Good Results All Along The Line. Edgefield is not the "only coun ty or town that has been benefit t?d. by' the removal of the dis pensary. Ever and anon one reads gratifying reports from other counties. A dispatch from Ander son states: > *"The report of the chief of police as published this week, shows that during the month of November there were 64 cases bandied in the police court and that $245 were collected in fines. For the mouth of November of last year there were 166 cases and $817 were collected in fines. The dispensary was in operation last November, being voted out in January of this year, and the large number of cases tried in last November were caused chief ly by drunkenness and its at . tendant offenses. This year there have been comparatively few . cases of drunkenness. A similar decrease in the number of cases during the months of this year can be shown in comparison with the months of last year when the dispensary was in operation in this city." The Saluda correspondent to one of the daily papers, in writing] , of, the good order that prevailed on the day that a show visited that, town, says in part: *4One thing that waa strikingly i noticeable was that not a singlo j arrest had to be made by the town authorities, and so far as could be geen,there was very little sign6of whiskey in the crowd. How differ ent were conditions iu this town under th? dispensary regime in the ca&e of such crowds is well known." Where one does now view the. situation through ppjuciced glasses, it is vasy to notice the marked improvements that fol-1 low voting out liquor. COLD SPRING. Christmas is a time, of general rejoicing. It isa time when ne all should be glad and happy. It represents the birth of our Saviour and this should fill oar hearts with joy aud thanksgiving. There ?re many presents made during Christmas. It is the time that Santa "Claus visits the children, bringing them little gifts that mak? them happy.

It will make the child happy and you will not lose your reward. We wish for each of our readers a*merry and happy Christ mas. Last Wednesday afternoou the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W.

We are sorry to report the se rious illness of Mr. Bub Bussey, who bas pneumonia. We hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. W. W. Burnett who lives near North Augusta visited friends and relatives in our towu last week. He attended church here yesterday. School closed here -last Friday for the holidays. Both teacher and pupils will have- two. wsekB in which to rest. Mr. Boyd Holmes visited friends at Modoc last Sunday. Have you "bought a good book to read those loug winter nights?
