bu., scend, ?. the yield. A train waa rub week at a speed of iv. hour; that is the gait son. candidates rv i : 1 have to tak they interview all of the voters in the county before the second pri mary. Letls compare Ansel's cote in Greenville couuty with BleaseV vote in Newberry, and see what the homefolks think of the two men. That is the best way for the outside world to judge them. That Seneca young man who' kissed his girl twenty times in sixty 6ecouds should be aneeted for violating the speed limit. Seneca Farm aud Factory. Wonder how many Edgefield young men have been "violating the speed limit?" The saloons have been closed in Springfield, 111., since the race riot bejaD, and the mayor of the city says he does not know when he will allow chem to open. Why were they closed? Because the sale of whiskey would increase the acts of violence and^ render it more difficult for the authorities to control the situation. If a thorough invf stigation were made tue fact would no doubt be reveal ed that whiskey was the real cause of the trouble. It is gener ally conceded that whiskey caus ed the Atlanta riot._ -rmiuo .vuaui) ia vtuuu 0<QRIRMB? ~ While the chain gang system of wbrking the public roads has beeo very costly to the county, possi bly more expensive than necessa ry, yet there is no denying the fact that the loads wherever thor oughly worked in the past have been wonderfully and permanent ly improved under this system. The writer drove from Edgefield to Pted Oak Grove church on Sun day last, a distance of about eighteen miles, and if all of the ba,d places in the road wer? placed side by side the entire length would scarcely be a hun dred yards. We have learned from others that what is true of the stretch of road above referred to is also true of many of the other leading roads in the county. Therefore, the expense cf keeping the highways of tho county in fairly good condition should be less in the,future than it has been during the years that are past. Capital to be Increased. In accordance with the published notice, the stockholders of the Edgefield Manufacturing Company met on Saturday last in the office of the company, and passed a resolution authorizing the diiectors to issue preferred s^ock to the amount of $150,000, which is to be used in enlarging the capacity of the mill by doub ling the number of spindles and otherwise improving the plant. Mr. D. A. Tompkins, the build . er and president of the mill, came down from Charlotte Saturday morning, accompanied by Mr. George L. Krueger, a stockholder and director in the company. A director's meeting, which was attended by Mr. D A Tompkins. Mr. Cha rle?, H Finher. Mr. Geo. L Krueger and A S Tompkins, Esq., was alpo held and a resolu tion adopted authorizing the officers of the company to pro ceed to issue the preferred stock and about $30,000 of additional common stock. The vote of the stockholders on tlie lesolution? to increase the capital stock ot the company was practically unani mous, as all of the stf<ck was rep resented except a few scattering shares that are held by f-statet? and boards nf Fchool truiteep. Mr. D. A. Tompkins and Mr. Krueger return-" d to Charlotte Saturdav evening. Steps will bo taken at once to make the uec p?sary enlargement aud to start the mill to running. They are now placing a. ?argo new 250 ^ borse-nower Hamilton Corliss eu gine in the oil mill and will soon be giuning cuttou. o .ou her bu n .rne ar ris erhaul^c? aud i. lirely new building ltb one ac cord, after ^ i matter du" consideration, . joembers of the "Grove" church, as it in common ly called, decided upon the latter course. On February 24th, J907, the first step toward the erection of a i.ew house of worship tiegan by ihe appointment of a building committee, which consisted of n dozeo or mera aotivn mein bi re of the church. Soon afterwards. thcj o'd church, one of the oldest land marks in the county that con nected the long ago with the pres ent, was torn down and work on the new building wag begun and pressed to completion as rapidly as cucum stances would warran* In passing along the public road, iustead of the old church do;ru near the cemetery, one now sees a new and modem structure OD the eminence near the rood. The location and the design ol the building are in many respects ideal. Thu structure is of wood, and its exterior and the interior arrangement resemble very much the Edgefield Baptist church. The seats are circular in their arrange ment and are elevated as they re cede from the pulpit. The Bap tistry is in the rear of the ros trum, and two small dressing rooms, o*ie on each side, have beeu built. The exterior of tb' building bas been painted white, naiDiing is compTeted. Very aoon all of the painting will be com pleted, including the staining ol the floor and pews. There are four large, beautiful stained glass Win dows in the main room or audito rium, one on each side. These windows were designed and made by Mr. Giles D. Minis, and wert donated to the church by bim. Sunday,'^August 23rd, was the day set apart for the dedica tion of the new church. A very large crowd, many traveling from great distances, gathered early, and a song and prayer service was held before the hour for the ser mon arrived. Ur. VV. T. Derrieux was invited sonn time ago to preach tba dedicatory sermon, but sickness prevented bis bemg present and Re^. L B. White, pastor of the Baptist churches of Modoc,. Parksville and Plum Branch, preached the sermon from theSth verie of the 26th Psalm: "Lord I have loved the habitation of thy bouse and the place where thine honor dweileth." Although be bad had but one day's notice that ho was expected to preach the dedicatory sermon, and in spite of the further handicap that he bas been in protracted meet ings for three weeks, Rev. Mr. White preached a very strong and exceedingly appropriate sermon, Due that elicited favorable com ment on every hand. Immediate ly after the sermon the dedicatory prayer was offered by Rev. Ar thur L. Vaughn, of Piedmont, S. n ur. At the conclusion of the song service of the morning, Rev. Geo. W. Bu8sey, tho pastor of the murcb made a brief statement concerning the building of the .ieAT church. The work was in marge of a special committee composed of Messrs. T M Dorn, P 3 Bueeey and G D Mime, Mr. E i Morgan, Sr., roting as treaeur ir. Up to this time the building las cost $1,400.

The responds wen ?;onera! and the auhecriptions quite liberal, Mr. T M Dorn head ing the iiet with $25. Be it said t< the credit of the candidates pres eut that a number of then voluntarily contributed generous ly. The total amount raised w?f $156.

In speaking of ibo beautiful Christ-like fpirit that han -xii-: ed among the brethren siiic* th( work was undertaken, Mr. Buss*) ?aid: "I never attempted any vvorl that gave rae more pleasure." ll made special mention of \h e'VortF of Mr. E. G. Morgan, Sr. and of Mr. ? D Mira?, statiuj that the former bad - ?aid bim snlr upon the altar ns a living subscription." From the outset Mr. Minis took wry great inter est in the erection of tho new church. Beeide3 subscribing very liberally, he designed the new building and superintended the work without accepting a cent of compensation. Furthermore as stated above, he made and dona ted the lanie stained glass win dows. Mr. liu.'Bey stated that what Mr. Mimp did deserved speoia mention, especially as>**.-criovc a member of Ked church. "ssey united ?.Ww ^ W.^BJ" church in 1865 and was ordained as a min ister of the gospel by that church in 1S7?.I. For tweoty-seveu con secutive years thereafter he served as its pastor. He resides now in Pelzer, S. C., but is again serving as pastor of hi? old church and has had much to du with build ing the handsome new house of svorsbip. Rev. Arthur L. Vaughn, of Piedmont, S. C., preached a very striking sermon in the atteruoou, and ie assisting Ta'v. Mr. Busbey iu the protracted meeting that is being held iu the new church this week. Though yet in his twenties, Mr. Vaughn is a preacher of groat forc?, and will, as ho advances in yours, occupy a plac? of great promiuence ami usefulness in the work.'of the denomination in .South Carolina. At the diunerhou'r a royal feast that had been bountifully provi-j ded for the great throng was spread upon a Jarge rectangular table, and everybody was invited to partake.
