Surely with a favorable year, such as we hope next year will be, some one will reach the 150-bushel mark. We shall not be satisfied until the record of Edgefield county compares favor ably with the leading corn growing counties of the state. The popular store of Smith Marsh Company has two advertise ments in this issue calling especial attention to the shoe department and the ladies' suit department. Certainly the ladies will not supply their needs without first visiting this popular store and inspecting thier stylish offerings. Surely the most exacting taste can be suited. Their prices are very reasonable. Dr. F. M. Routh delivered a very instructive address in the court house Tuesday evening on the hookworm disease. [Ile is very anx ious for a larger number of people, especially school children, to meet bim in the conrt house every Sat urday. The other sections of the county, as shown by Dr. Routh's report in this issue, are taking more interest than are those at the coun ty seat. This should not be the case. Hussars Invited. Maj. R. S.

Editor The Advertiser: Please allow me space in your most woi thy Journal to speak of the happenings in and around our little town. The union meeting of the third division of the colored Baptists was held at Flint. Hill Bap tist church on the fifth Sunday last of which Kev. W. M. Peterson is the moderator. Tho meeting was a most excellent one and everything passed off quietly. We are forced to believe that the colored people of this county are fast learning how to respect themselves, and we are glad because as soon as they learn this they will know how to lespect and revere the white people also. While the services at tho union meeting were about to close even though we had been bountifully blessed with preaching as well as many good speeches we had listen ed to, a thrilling message came to us that if it would be suitable, that the Rev. Mr. Lake a great missiona ry from China. (Mr. John Lake) would preach at Springfield Baptist church. An immense crowd left the union meeting and came forward to hear this noble man of God. The gathering was an astonishing sight for this was the first night gather ing that we have had at Spring field Baptist ohurch (colored) in 19 years, and while the house waa completely packed from oenter to circumference, this was before that spotless divine had arrived, Rev. Lake. We reserved about one fourth of the church room for our white friends to be seated. Among the worshippers came the Hon. W. A. Strom and family, Dr. J. H. Self and family, Mr. J. T. Ouzts and family and other honored white friends of which space will not ad mit me to mention, and of course tbi? is not out of the ordinary;for we always have our white ?rienda with us when it comes to a religious gath ering. At this time the Rev. Mr. Lake arrived and was introduced by Rev. W. M. Peterson in a very hightoued way to the audience. Rev. Mr. Lake arose and prefaced his discourse and read as a lesson the 55th chapter of the prophecy of Isaiah, and then proceeded to preach, using as a text the 6, 7, 8 verses of the preceding chapter. The Dr. was at LIB beat and like a Cicero, and with the eloquence of a Webster and the mellifluous lan guage of a Chinaman took the au dience on his wings of eloquence and Hew back to great cities of China and then darted almost out of space touching upon that peace ful Pacific on which he had sailed for many days, and he closed amid many hearty applauses, then clasp ing the hands of many of his color ed friends, they desired to hear him sing a song in the Chinese language which he and his devoted wife proceededjto do closing amid cheers, after which we had the benediction by the Rev. Mr. Lake. Your o*J subscriber, . P. L. Anderson. Registered Jerseys. I offer for sale two mature oows and half dozen or more heifers two years ard under. Also one male calf. J. D.
