M??0S, - - - EDITOR TERMS : ONE-YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, SEP. 4. 1907. ^"ToJbeli>^he^oTin* soul? to tadd energy, Inspire hope, and blow the coala into a useful flame; to redeem defeat by new thought and firm action, this, though not easy, is the work of divine men.-EMEBSOtf. ol? io\ , and S ?seful I pnew I this, I >rk ofjl Automobile accidents and casualties arc eclipsing those of the'railroads. The loafers and vfgrants are needed in the cotton fields, and should be made to "skidoo." So m o farmers are already mak ing preparations for sowing grain. A large acreage should be sown in the" county. The Pythian Joui nal which promises to be a very creditable publication will be issued about j September 15th. The Texas cotton crop is -said to be about one million bales short thia year. Then, cotton ought to bring about fifteen cents. It seems that the Farmeis! Un ion and the Cotton Growers As sociation will both Btand for 15 cents as the minimum prioe for cotton. The first bale of new cotton brought 14 cents on the Edgefield maiket atd 1.3cents cn the Green wood market. Notice the differ ence. The town of Dillon has passed an ordinance prohibiting the pc st ing of placards, circulars and flaming posters advertising liquor bouses. - V -'isa. . The Advertiser is not in pos session of any inside information jjjj as to the real status of t&e strike butait appears from the ou:side that the telegraph companies are winning the fight against the operatives. It is reported that at the close of this term President Roosevelt will enter journalism by assum ing control of a great New York nuous little insect has attaok^d cot ton near Waterloo, Laurens coun ty, and there is very grave appre hension that it is the Texas boll weevil. Should this little pest reach South Carolina, there will ; be cause for weeping and wailing. g The farmer who carried the'I ? "first bale" to Lancaster last week refused to sell it; fer 13 cents. Hasten the day when farmers generally will be in a condition to refuse to sell their cotton unless they are offered full value for it ! Somebody has estimated-rath er guessed-that tba close of 1907 will find the American farmers i one billion dollars wealthier than they were before. Lotus hope that | the farmers of Edgefield county will own a good big slice of that billion. Aiken is to have a knitting mill. Why would not such an entei prise pay as handsomely in Edge field as Aiken? Edgefield not only heeds a knitting mill but fully a J dozen small enterprises. They would afford investment for idle capital and employment for idle labor. A wealthy old pioneer of Chi? cago who is nearing the end of bis earthly career has 'set aside $50,000 in bis will for the ?rection of a monument to bis faithful borse. He should have directed that that sum be used in the erec tion of a hospital to treat maimed and diseased horses. No more fit- j ting monument than this could be erected. Automobiles are not exactly putting horses.out of business but they are giving them a rest to the extent that these beasts of burden are not wearing out as many shoet now as formerly. It is reported that twelve large horseshoe manmacturiug plants are shut down because the demaud for shoes is not sufficient at pres? eut to keep them busy. The press bas for several years advocated the use of a cotton covering for bales of cotton in stead of jute bagging, on the ground that it would not only be a more durable covering, bnt that it would be a means of consuming milli** ns of pounds or cotton each year. Now that the Cotton Grow ers' Association ia'to take the matter up there is some hope that the coarse' cottou gooda will take the place of bngging at no distant day. Fite Third Annual Session of the Woman's Missionary Union Held at Bold Spring. (Contributed) The third anuual meeting of the Woman's Missionary TJnioD cou yened at Bold Springs Wednes day, August 28th. The two previ DUS meetings of this body have been held in May^ but for various reasons it has been decided to have the meeting nearer the time of the Edgefield association About fifty delegatos, and a num ber of visitors were present, repre seuting nineteen societies, circles and bauds. There are now thirty societies in the Edgefield associa tion and every one has coatribu ted to missions during the yea? The devotional exercises for the morning and afternoon session were conducted by Mrs. L. F Dorn, of Parksville, and Mrs. J T. Littlejohn of Red Hill. The address of welcome was made by Mrs. P. P. Rush, of Bold Springs responded to iu behalf of the delegates by Miss Jena ie Patti eon, Edgefield. The annual report of the Su perin tendent, recommended the raising of one thousand . dollars during the coming year for mis sions, that being not a great amount larger than was contribu ted this year, more tban eight hundred dollars having been raised for missions. The societies hope to contribute next year $500 to Foreign missions, enough for the support of a missionary, $250 to State missions for the support of Misa Bramfield besides paying the apportioned amount for Home missions and the other objects v\hich Our denomination fosters Miss Gertrude Bramfield, State missionary, of the women of the Edgefield association, was present. and also Miss H. H. Wright, associated with Mis6 Bramfield in the work in Horse Creek Valley. Both of these mis sionaries who are well known and loved by the women of Edgefield association, made interesting and practical talks on the mission study classes, the school at El Paso Texas to be built by the Sunbeam Societies of the South, chapel at Yingtak China, the Training school now being es tablished by the Woman's Mis sionary Union at Louisville, Ky., and other subjects of interest. Miss Wright alf? told very inter estingly of her work in India as a missionary^ at ti" ^Vitioou ses sion. 9 .? -% S An 6xc<?, ,^>per on "The value of a 'oman's Mission So ciety to the loSal church" was prepared and read by Mrs. F. P Rush. Mrs. Rush h?.s been the leading spirit in the Womau's work at Bold Springs, and her paper was a resume of years of experience in this direction. A paper on "Why should a Woman's Mission Society be specially interested in missions" was read in her own forceful way by Mrs. W; E. Lott cf Edgefi; After announcements and appoi ment of committees,.a collect] amounting -to $15.71^ w?s^taken for the expenses of the meeting and Training school in Louisville $9.64 heing sent to the Training Behool. It is said that "the proof of the pudding is in tho eating." It is just as true that the most practi cal, tangible evidence of hospi tality is to be seen at the dinner hour. When the recess hour ar rived at Bold Spring in truth a feast ot good things was laid out before the delegates and visitors. On being asked by a lady who did not attend, if the delegates enjoy sd this repast? A good delegate replied "Ol we had a magnificent dinner." The social hour enjoy ad at this time, was shared also by all the brethren of Bold Spring. Having excluded them from the feast of soul prepared for this oe basion, it was thought but due them to receive a cordial invita tion at the meal hour. While the ladies' meeting was in session, the'brethren conducted another in the Behool nearby, with Rev. J. E. Johnston in charge. At 2 o'clock the meeting was called to order, and a paper writ ten by Mrs. M. B. Clinkecales, of Due West, on "Consecration" was read by Miss Jennie Pattison. It was much regretted that Mrs. Clinkscale8 could not be present. James Taylor, a student of the S. C. C. I. and a son of Rev. J. J. Taylor of Brazil, who was boru in that country and lived there till be came to our institution a year ago, was present, and spoke to the nnion about the work in Brazil, and sang in Portuguese the hymn, "Standup, Stand up for Jesus." This portion of the program was specially enjoyed, and at the re quest of tha brethren, tb.6y were admitted tc the church. Mrs. J. H. Tillman, superin tendent of girls' and young wo men's work, read a paper on this .abject. The life and labors of the be loved Mrs. Margaret Morgan, of Parksville, were not forgotten on -hie occasion. She was with us last year. As each recurring au aiversary comes there is another .ecord of sorrow to be made and ret the workers are -never dimiu shod. AB one by one they pass >ve:r the river the Lord multiplies heir influence in the lives of hose they leave behind. This nesting will long be remembered ts one of good fellowship, Chris tan sympathy and eucourage nent for the cause of missions, ?erea was chosen as the next ?lace of meeting, August 29th, 903 Lost and Found.

Thousands Wm Kidney Trouble and fte Suspect it. Prevalen cy of Iv i ?In ey Disease Most'people do not realize the alarm ing increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. Whilekidneydis jorders are the most common ' diseases that prc vail, they are almost the last recognized by patient and phy sicians, who con tent them8ehc8 m?h.doctoring the effects, while the oriy iiuil disease undermines the system. What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilnier's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every* part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up man} times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should "have the best. Sold by drug gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells all about lt, both sent free i by mail. Address Dr. | Kilmer & Co., Bing hamton, N. Y.
