I amjjereotad^idt^ ?tim? a man smiles* bu?~.mueh S more when he laughs, ii adds I something: to this fragment of 1 ^Jtife.-STERNE. 3 Senator Tillman has arranged with the sergeant-at-armg of the Senate to have Gleon Springs water served at the national capi tol. This will be a splendid adver .iisement fot this excellent South Carolina"water. Those who are holding cotton at their homes should see that the bales are not allowed to lie upon the ground, especially during the wet weather through which we are passing. Better sell cotton at a low price thau allow it to become damaged. % Pome people are wondering what will become of all tho'distilleries] and breweries in the South now that prohibition is putting them out of business. Wby, turu them into cotton mills,' knitting mills, canning factories, aud the like. The Orangeburg Sun. That's right. Let these plants produce those things' that sustain life, rather than the things that tena to destroy life. For southern banks to file bids for large blocks of government bonds along with the bids of the great Wall Sireet banks is some thing new uuder the sun. The Palmetto National Bank of Co lumbia was~arnong the successful bidders for the Panama bonds, having] been awarded $200,000 of these bonds last week. The janitor at the Mason ic-Tem ple was-observed'; yesterday after noon coming down stairs with a Texas saddle. It^was only sym bolical, perhaps, that something is going to happen at the Grand L:dge to-day..-jiews and Courier. It seems that the Grand Lodge "goat" is saddled for its riders. ~*~l? ha's been announced that the Aiken coanty board] of control purposes opening a dispensary in North Augusta ovfr the protests of "a vast majority cf the. citizens of that town. Such imposition-and, injustice will last only for a Bea con. ^Itwas: just such a policy aB this that contributed to the down 11 of the state dispensary. Nowhere in the state can far mers be found working * together so harmoniously and?io profitably as they are in the Piedmont conn ties. Large warehouses have been erected in many [of i;he leading towns in which.thousands of bales of cotfon'are' itored, but their lat est undertaking^ the erection of a large cotton mill at Easley. This enterprise is backed by the mem bers of-the Farmers Union of Bickens and adjoining counties. Saluda's Road Progressing. The wprk on the Saluda road is progressing rapidly, ?Specially consideringithe bad'weather that we have had. The"} road bed has been graded a's .far .as, .the .old Whitlock place and now that the weather gives promise of being good "?the work wilJL.be carried along at a rapid" rate.-Greenwood Journal. The Advertiser is pleased to know that tho railroad to Saluda is not only a certainty but will be completed before" many months. For nearly a decade the business men of Saluda have labored un ceasingly for railway connection with the outside world. At times failure seemed to stare them i? the face, yet they never became discouraged. Saluda's growth has been slow, but steady, since the county seat was established. After the railroad is completed and in actuai operation Edgefield's daughter will grow by ^eaps and "bounds. A Warning Sounded. Ye postmasters, country mer chants and merchants in towns where there are no banks, be care ful how you store away your mon ey in drawers, desks and safes. ' An organized gang of safe-crack ers.are at work in thi3 state. fh"y have-visited Branchville, Mauld iu's, Williamston, Pelzer and sev eral other Piedmont towns during the past ten days. Who knows but that the next victim of these yegg men may reside within ihe bor ders of Edgefield county? The Ad vertiser is not au alarmist, but simply wishes to put thoie who have r^?dy cash on their guard. Better^keep sour money in the banks. Be on the alert for the."advance agent" of these robbers, the one who"goes lefore them and spies out the land. He- usually repre sents himself to be a drummer, book agent or picture agent. - 1 Some Advantage. Many disadvantages arise from being located at tbe end'of ^rail road track instead of bei tig on trunk line, but, on tbe other hand, there are some advantages. Just as the wealthy northern people are coming south in their palace cars to escape the rigors of the winter,, so are the-great army of "Weary Willies" tramping their way to the sunny south, or are making the journey by stealing" rides OL trains. As these migratory human beings alwayB follow the main lines, they often become nuisances in many of the . towns and cities, along 'tBe rout?. ?*fi a?Edgefield is 6ix miles from the main hue one seldom sees at. y real tram pf here, consequently our town is Dever annoyed by their depradi tions or by having them beg their dailv bread. A New Suggestion. The "ready pistol'1 problem ii yet uneolved. Laws that have abated the evil to some extent have from time to time been en acted, but no means have yet been found that would prevent the carrying of jin unlawful gun. In this connection, a unique resolu tion introduced at a recent meet ing of the Beech Island Farmers' slub by a prominent member of j this very oil organization is worthy of notice. The resolution, which may be presented to the ?ext legislature, provides that the owner of every gun be iax^d $5 per year and pistol owners .$10 per year, which mouey is to ?sed in equipping the Echcols with military paraphernalia. If all of the shooting irons, guns and pistols of every description what ever, were taxed-andwould that Bvery pistol could be taxed out of existence-sufficient money would be raised to equip every school with a first-class aresoal. PreBaley-Burton. The following is a copy of th9 invitations that have been receiv ed in Edgofield to the marriage of Miss Minta Pressley: "Mr. and Mrs.- Andrew Thomas Pr?ssly request the honor of your presence at fhe marriage of their daughter Minta Royal, to Mr. Frank Mauldin Burton, on the morning of Wednesday, the 18th af December,-at half after teu o'clock, at B*ome. Septus, Ander son county, S, C." Miss Minta Pressley is a niece of Mrs'. J. W. Peak, and was for several years a student of_ the S. 3. G. T. Being gentle, amiable and possessing a very lovable dispo iftion, she made many lasting ?rjende in Edgefield who wish her nuch - joy- and happiness. Miss Ruth Cogburn is tp be maid ?f lonor and will leave in a few days ror Anderson. Woman's Mission soflteties. The Christmas season iltalmost it hand and it bas beun^ocided ihat this year again the Christ mas offering will go to China. Our jontributions from the Woman's Mission Societies will be appro priated to the support of .Mrs. lohn Lake, as at the last annual meeting at Bold Spring, it was igreed that ' we would attempt to raise the salary of a foreign mis sionary. As our association is sup porting Rev. John Lake it waB nought appropriate that we adopt jirs, Lake also into our mission iry family. The contributions from Sunbeam societies will be lent to the chapel at Yingtak, Ubina. This added amount to be rafsed will require' larger gifts and jreater efforts. Those societies which have not fet-received literature and envel ops for~"the Christmas offering md week of prayer in January mould order from Mrs. A. L. IJfutcHfjerd;""Spartanburg, at once, md distribute envelopes to all ?oeiety members at next preaching I jervice, or as soon as couveniant.) Try to observe at least one day in January of the week of prayer, ?itber at church or at the home of i member. At this service the en velopes may be collected and con ;ents sent to Mrs. J. N. Cudd, Spartanburg. No society need be discouraged if the contributions are small. If sach society will respond to this ?ven in a small way, the aggregate ?viii amount to a good sum, and ?rill help us to meet our aim for foreign missions. Those who can )bserve the whole week as ? time >f prayer will find great benefit to ;ho work and themselves. Yours in the work, Mrs! J. L^Miras, Asso. Supt. NOAHS LINIMENT i POR ALL.
