"Who steals my parse steals ?oh '? ? trash. Don't "cuss" if habit causes yen to write 1907 this morning instead of 1908. From fruit cake and turkey back to corn bread and collards is a very decided "Jet down." Let's all work together for the upbuildiDg of our town and coun ty during the year 1908. Husbands and fathers hope that the tremendous advance in whale bone will prevent such frequent changes in the style of corsets. Leap year brings hope and hap piness to many erstwhile discon solate widows and maids of un certain years. May the twelve months that lie before us be characterized by un precedented industry and econo my throughout Edgefiold oounty. The town in Counecticut that hes had only one birth within its borders during the past ten years need hardly expect any favors at the hands of the present occu pant of the White House. AU honor to Mayor Rhett 1 Be tween skirmishes with the rail roads and blind tigera he finds time to entertain the orphans of his city. For several years Mayor Rhett has from his private fuuds provided elaborate Christmas trees for the hundreds of inmates of the Orphan Homes of Charles ton. Tbs people of Union say they want a dispensary in order to drive out tigers, and the people of Charleston say they want to get rid of the dispensary because. it breeds tigers. It both destroys and produces tigers. There has always been something strangely anomalous about whiskey. Men drink it in wintt>r to keep warm nd in summer to keep cool. In some counties the dispensary sales were upwards of $2,000 c day last week. Are you not glad that our people did not spend auch enormous sums for whiskey? Had a dispensar; business in of dollars would hlvn ovm* -~-^-.^T-TUT. liquor, whereas ? without the dispensary this mon ey, barring the little that the blind tigers got, was spent for luxuries and necessities for the family. The wives and childrei enjoyed it as well as the hus bands and fathers. Eaters Seventy-Third Year. With this issue The Advertiser enters upon its seventy-third year. Through peace and war. prosperity and adversity this newspaper has been published continuously since 1835. And it is upon this ground that it laye claim to being the oldest news paper in South Carolina. Others place their birth farther back in the last century, but their ex treme age bas come through con solidation of two papers, taking the age of the older of the two. Not since the first issue of The Advertiser was taken from the crude press seventy-three years ago has its name been changed or has its publication been inter rupted. This is a unique and very remarkable record. In this connection, we wish to thank the Edgefield publio for the very liberal patronage accord ed us. For nearly six years the present editor has been at The Advertiser's helm, and during that time the subscription list has steadily grown and the ad vertising patronage has increased more than fifty per cent. It is our purpose, to make very decided improvements upon The Adverti ser during 1908. Seaatbr Tillman Sakes Good. Washington dispatches tell us that Senator Tillman is looking after the enforcement of prohibi tion in the states that have re cently veted out tbs liquor traffic. In order that this may be done, he proposes that Congress shall pasB a law which will pre vent the unrestricted shipment of liquor by express companies into dry territory. If Senator Tillman succeeds in doing this, be will do something that will prove of untold benefit to tb* moral and financial inter ests of the South, and he will de ?erve the thauks of all good ruen ?verywhere. By the way, did not the Seua tor make the declaration once apon a time that if certain con ditions prevailed in South Caro lina he would stump the state for. prohibition? We believe he did, and now that the tide is turning the Sena tor may be buckling, on his har ness for the good work. We hope so,' and that on the stump in Bvery part of the state next sum mer Ben Tillman will speak aud hurl such anathemas agaiuat the accursed liquor traffic as only he san handle.-Greenwood Jour nal. v Urging Repeal ol Lien Law. The lien law must go. If the papers throughout the state re flect the wish and sentiment of the people, and it is probable that they do,. the lieu law in its present form will not remain a great while longer upon the stat utes. The Farmers' Union, botb tn the county organizations aud in the state convention, has de clared against it. Farmers in soma sections of the state who aie not members of the Union have also passed resolutions urging the legislature to repeal the lien law. It was doubtless needed atnne time but under the changed conditions the law, instead of promoting his interests, opeiates against the farmer. There is a large number of in dolent, thriftless negroes who are unwilling to work for wag^and who at the same time are incapa ble of farmi?g successfully on their own account, yet under the lien law* they can purchase a cheap mule, rent a piece of land, obtain advances and conduct their town farming operations after a fashion. When the end' of the year comes but little more than the rent has been yu ade. If not al lowed to remain on the same land this BO called farmer will move elsewhere and repeat the farce of farming on his own account. The lien law system of farming has contributed more toward im poverishing the lands auc de moralizing labor in this Btate than any other one cause. And the sooner a change is made the bet ter it.wili be not only fo: agri jultural interests but for all lineB rf business. Honey. (S. CHEATHAM.) . There is quite a difference in the boney produced in different sections of thiB country. In Floria la we have honey from the orange blooms. Ih New York the great bulk of the honey is gathered from buck wheat. In the middle west and western states the bees get most of their honey from Bass wood or "Lenden." In Cali fornia most of it is gathered from Mountain Sage. In the irrigated lands of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and other states, where-they ; can water their farms bp'artificial means they have i?^4fiS?^.aJil iiiali?'CiCAjer gr?rnr^rrjps of hen }j are harvested. Sr There is a very, marked di?er moe in the honey from these different sources. Some of it sifter being extracted remains in the syrup state for a long time without granulating or "going to sugar," whilo honey from another source remains in the syrup state only a few days or weeks. While i great many people do not un derstand granulated boney and abject to it for one reason or an )ther, it is ' one sure test of its purity, and there is no belter hon 3y produced anywhere than well ripened granulated hooey. "In order to keep alfalfa boney and fall honey in this locality from granulating it would have to be adulterated ;. with Glucose, and then of 'course it would not be pure honey, being v?ry inferior to the pare article. IQ this locality we usually har vest two crops of honey. The first jrop we take sometime in June which the bees gather from vari ous flora, such as maple, fruit olooms, poplar, persimmon and in fact now if not all blooms that produce seed afford nectar for the oees. And this spring honey that ?re get in this locality never gran ilates, but remains in the syrup ?tate almost indefinitely. Our second crop which we take about :he first of November the bees gather from the golden rod and :he wild aster and it is a very fine ;rade of boney, being usually ;hick and very bright. This sec >nd crop ie perhaps the equal of my honey produced, but it gradu ates in a few days or weeks after jeing extracted. All the same, it s as pure as honey can be and as people become educated to it, .hey learn to like it. A great nany prefer it to any other. Those vho prefer to use it in the syrup ?tate nave only to warm it gradu ally till it go's back into syrup, mt don't let it boil.. A very patisf?ctory way to melt t back, is to set the jars on the >ack of the stove for ab <ut half a lay 01 set them in a vessel of rater on the stove and let them ?eat slowly to near the boiling joint but do not let it boil as th?t srould injure the quality and cake it dark.

Very Brilliant Home Wedding . Near Aiken. It was the writer's pleasure to attend the nuptials of Prof. James F. Entzminger and Mis? Lena* Grace Holley on Thursday eveuing, December the 19th. The wedding was hpld at the elegant country home of the bride's pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Holley, two miles out from Aiken. lu this union of th* lives of a universally popular ms'dent of Kdgefield and a fair and widely beloved daugh ter of Aiken, new ties have huen formed between the mother town and county, Edgefield, aud her fair daughter, Aiken. Ab the guests appr. auherl this boppitnble home on this wedding occasion, the brilliant lights that sent their beams far into the darkness without, betokened the warmth, gr-od cbeer and happi ness within. The hundred and more guests were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Holley, who were ansist ed in receiving by Mrs. S. G Matthews, of Williston, Miss Lula Holley and Miss Meter Sum merall. The great cordiality with which strangers were greeted made them fp*l that they were in the midst of life-long friendp. The gathering of th? immediate relatives and personal friends of the bride and groom in the large front parlor announced that the momentous hour bad arrived, and as the wedding march pealed forth from the piano in response to the magic touch of Miss Mary Cross land, the bridal party began to enter. First came the bridesmaids. Miss Bessie Hawley and Miss Alma Burckhalter, beautifully attired in white silk tissue with pipk'girdies, bearing bouquets of pink carnations. The maid of honor, Miss Jennie Holley, the beautiful sister of the bride, next entered, being clsd in yink point d'esprit over pink taffeta, also bearing a beautiful bouquet of pink carnations. The groom next entered on the arm of his best man, Capt. R. B Cain, and was joined immediately by the bride who en tered upoD the arm of her father. The beauty of the charmine bride was heightened by the gracefully flowing veil that enveloped her form aud by the exquisite gown of white chiffon over taffeta mrde en train. Dr. C. E. Burts in his usual impressive and appropriais man ner pronounced the words that united the ^lives of tho hsppy young couple. After Heaveu's richest ble?sings war? invoked up on them, friends and loved ones showered congratulations and good wishes upon Mr. and Mrs. Entzminger. Seldom do human eyes behold such au elaborate and elegant home wedding. The beautiful decorations io the long hall, in the parlors aud in the spacious dining rooms, baffled description. The color scheme, red aud green, was minutely carried out, and all of the decoratious were evidently arranged under- the eye of a per 8o? possessing the talent of au ar tist. Soon after the ccremouy, all re paired to the two large dining rooms, one being set apart and especially arranged for the bridal party. Here it was that the good old, southern hospitality was evidenced most. The sumptuous wedding supper that loving hands, had provided.in sncka.ot-varis ?T .-rr"-: wc rt Ub ",U ? im- -?sr The huudreds, literally hun dreds, of handsome presents, con sisting of silverware of every name and description, cut glass, china, cutlery, and paiutings bore ts-igible evidence of the very high Bsteem in which the bride and ?room are held among their friends both far aud near. After the wedding feast was over, hasty adieus were said and Mr. and Mrs. Entzminger hurried away to catch the 9:30 train for Florida to spend a fortnight. Mr. and Mrs. Entzminger will reach Edgefield on to-morrow, Thursday, aDd a very cordial and affectionate greeting awaits th9m from our eutire citizenship. rtie Cause of Many Sudden Deaths? There j. ls a disease prevailing !n this ountry most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it - heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs or the ddneys themselves' break down and waste iway cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result frcm t derangement of the kidneys and a cure is ibtained quickest by a proper treatment of he kidneys, if you are feeling badly you :an make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and jladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ng pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to jo often during the day, and to get up many imes during the night. The mild and the jxtraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon .ealized. It stands the highest for its won lerful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold >y all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar ;izsd bottles.
