LARGEST CIRCULATION IN EDGEFIELD COUNTY. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER, 16, 1912. The man who lives in vain, lives worse than in vain. He who lives to no purpose lives to a had purpose. NEY?NS. "When Greeks joined Greeks, then ^ras the tug of war," and the Turks .fled before them. Only SO davs left in which contribu tions can be made to the Woodrow Wilson fund. Do not wait till the last day to send in your dollar. Governor Blease has extended execu tive clemency to 393 cases since he has been'in office, 226 of this number re- J ceiving pardons and 197 paroles. Not a single dollar of corporation money has been used in conducting the national D?mocratie campaign. That is vfny it is so necessary that you con tribuate as an individual. Since the football season has opened the airship casualties will not be so conspicuous. This very brutal game does its part in swelling the mor tality list. If the Democrats were only one tenth part as loyal to their party as the Greeks are to their mother country, the coffers of the national treasury would be constantly overflowing. The Socialist who shot Col. Roosevelt, seriously wounding him as he left hi hotel in Milwaukee Monday night, de serves a seat in an electric chair. We have no place in America for such vicious wretches. Governor Biease acted wisely and well when he refused to pardon John J. Jones, the young lawyer who killed Abe Pearlstine at Branchville a year ago. This was a very atrocious mur der and no reasonable ground can be found upon which to base executive clemency. The governor has stated that he may reduce the ten-year sen tence later. According to a recent estimate pre pared at the request of the governor by the department of commerce and agri culture the population of South Caroli na has increased 35,030 since the 1910 census was taken. Wonder if Edge field has contributed her quota of this increase? The figures of the last cen sus were not very creditable to her. <J The estimated population of South Car olina at present is 1,551,430. <5ive Them the Protection of the Law. The strike breakers seem to be giv ing much trouble over in Augusta. Bet ter send them home.-Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Why? When one set of men refuse to work for a company why hasn't that company a right to send elsewhere for men who will work. Suppose a far mer's cotton pickers walk out of his field, positively refuse to work for him. Hasn't this farmer the right to em . ploy others to work for him? Certainly : he has. Then, why hasn't a company 'ethe same right? The County Fair. The managers feel greatly encourag ed over the outlook for the fair. Be sides the splendid exhibits^ of stock, poultry, field crops, merchandise, art, faney work and household department, a first-elass aggregation of shows will afford pleasant diversion for the great throng that will attend. The amuse ment company has an excellent band that will furnish music throughout each day of the fair. There is no doubt about it, unless the weather man frowns upon us, the Edgefield county fair will be one of the very best to be held in the state this fall. Bear in mind though that every ad ditional exhibit contributes to the suc cess of the fair. Will you not have an exhibit in every department? Look about the farm, take stock, so to speak, and you will be surprised at how many very creditable exhibits you .can. make. Farmers generally are tak ing more interest in the fair than in the past. Can you afford to be left out? Should Reject Fraudulent Advertise ments. Just as an honest merchant will re-1 fuse to offer for sale articles for food that are known to be unsound and there fore injurious; just as an honest law yer will refuse to accept a case in which sharp practice and manu factured-te8timony must be employed in order for his client to win, so should a reputable newspaper refuee to place before its readers advertisements that bear fraud, deception and positive in jury on their very face. A few day9 ago we were surprised to see in a leading Piedmont newspaper an advertisement occupying prime po sition with a prominent headline some thing like this: "Liquors Can Now be Made at Home For Twenty-five Cents a Quart." The advertisement was at tractively worded and was calculated to catch the unwary, such sentences as these being used: "With a concentra ted extract a 9mooth and mellow whis key, liquor or cordial can be made, saving the liquor dealers' enormous profit." "With this new method a quart of delicious and healthful liquor can be made for 25 cents, equal if rot better than that sold for four times that amount." The individual who offers this liquid "gold brick" for sale should be indict ed ^>y the postal authorities for using] the mail for fraudulent purposes, and the publisher who will exploit the so- j called merits of euch an article of mer- j ehandise deserves to be severely repri manded by the thoughtful readers of | his paper. Publishers of newspapers should draw the line by refusing to accept ad vertisements of this character, wheth er the article be represented as a bev erage, drug or foodstuff. The Adverti ser will never knowingly be uaed by conscienceless men who would thus play upon the'credulity of people. In-j stead of tempting thoughtless persons ko purchase fraudulent articles of this class, a newspaper should warn the unsuspecting against them. Missionary Rally at Ebenezer Church, Trenton. The missionary rally at the Bap tist church was a very pleasant and nspiring meeting, all the denomi nations joining in heartily as is the maracteristicot the community and nade the day one long to be re membered amongst the church go .ng people. Rev. John Lake spoke it the morning service. He made i very forceful presentation of his ivork in China. Mrs. Lake and Mrs. Snuggs spoke at thc afternoon ses sion, and in their gentle manner rave some interesting facts about ,heir part of the work in the for eign field. A collection of about ?125.00 was raised for the two ichools of which Mrs. Lake and tfrs. Snuggs are the principals. The meeting as a whole was filled vith the missionary spirit. The >nugg8 children added much int?r ?t to the meeting by their songs ind recitations. Mr. W. W. Miller, our effl uent agent at the Southern depot s now being assisted by his brother. The cleverest device for work, ng the railroad is a double scraper hat is pushed along by a locomo ive. This machine has been work ng around Trenton for the past ew days.

A man had been absent from aomo for some time, and dui ing his i absence had raised a luxuriant beard and mustache. Shortly after lis return he paid a visit to his sis- ? :er, who had a little daughter of I irhom ho was especially fond. The little girl made no effort to I ?mbraoe him or offer him a kiss, : but hung back reluctantly. "Why, Eleanor," said the moth er, "why don't you give Uncle Ed a i kiss?"

The real cause of the Augusta trol ley strike doesn't seem to to have been made public yet.-Greenwood Journal. Apparently the issue is as to which shall rule, the officers of the company or its employees. Lukewarm Democrats. You can do more good in this state by contributing to the Wilson fund than by voting for him. But there ii no rea son for neglecting to do either.-Green ville News. Some who call themselves good Dem? ocrats will do neither. If all Democrats were like them, Governor Wilson would be defeated. No Woman Wants Eli Man?. "Mike Papatheodorekuwomdropolli ?ent in his name and announced a de sire to make application for citizen ship papen." We do not blame him for sending it in, but it was unfair to discharge the office boy for profanity. -News and Courier. "Mike" has no kith or kin in Edge field, at least we haven't heard the court crier call the name. Small Consumers of Cotton. . The price of cotton is going to remain low juBt as long as the women insist on ? wearing one-legged 'pantaloons for , skirts and thus diminishing the demand for cotton goods.-Newberry Observer. One petticoat manufacturer has been forced into bankruptcy because of the skimpy dimensions of this article of feminine apparel. Jails Empty in Kansas. More than half the county jails in Kansai, are without inmates. We might hope for such condition in South karolina when we get a good compul sory education law, adequate public wealth laws and other measures condu?j five to general social betterment***" greenville News. Empty jails are the fruits of prohi bition in Kansas. This "dry" state las made good in spite of the ridicule 'rom press and liquor people. Governor Unwilling. If Governor Blease ever intends to Io anything for the protection of the people against lawlessness or to show zested capital that their interests in :his state are safe, or to show to the corking people that their wrongs will )e righted, now is his chance. The sheriff of Aiken sends in a C. Q. D. .all, and it is time when such disorder, such wild Indian behavior as that which >ccurred in North Augusta on Sunday lappens in the borders of the state of South Carolina. We know that Gover nor Blease has more influence with the ?eople who are causing that trouble, :han any one else in the state, and we vould be so glad to make one entry to :he credit of the governor. -Florenee Times. The Augusta-Aiken railway compa ?y pays its quota of taxes in South karolina and is entitled to protection, jut the governor fails to do his duty >y not giving the needed protection. H-K' 1 V i ?

But the "Hupmobile" is Different. Always in condition and fresh at the end of the run. It never tires and will take you anywhere, no natter what the distance. Saud and hills make no difference, nor do muddy roads for .that matter. The perfect simplicity of the working parts means fewer repairs, less attention-eliminates the heavy expense bills. A truly economical and efficient car built for the purpose of giving uninterrupt ed service at low cost of upkeep. THE DEEPER YOU GO INTO DETAIL THE GREATER WILL GROW YOUR REGARD The inside, not the outward appearance of a car, establishes its true value. For this reason, we ask you not to let your first favorable impression end with your admiration for the graceful design, the low strong lines, die comfortable upholstery of the l<.i-.:-stroke Kupp "32." We prefer that you go deeper into the car and examine its motor, transmission and axle construction. WHAT MAKES PULLING POWER? First-The relation of piston stroke to cylinder bore. Second-The design of the motor. Third-The efficiency of the carburetor. Fourth-Simplicity of the chassis construction. Fifth-The degree to which friction is reduced Sixth-The weight of the car. LET US SHOW YOU How these essentials have been accomplished in the Hupp "32." First-The stroke is neither too long nor too short, but in ratio to the bore is as 1.7 is to 1. Seoond-The cylinders of the motor are oast en bloc; the valves at the side are protected from dust and dirt. Three liberal crank shaft bearings are provided to preclude the possibility of undue strain. Long Stroke HUPP "32" Touring Car $900, F. O. B. Detroit, inoluding windshield, gas lamps and generator, oil lamps, tools and horn. Three speeds forward and reverse, centre control. Bosch magneto, 105 inch wheelbase, 32x3i inch tires. Roadster, $900. Third-The carburetion is absolutely automat ic, insuring correct mixtui j at all speeds and un der all loads without adjustment. Fourth-The chassis is clean of every co inpli cation: the motor, clutch and transmission are a compact weight-saving unit, permanently aligned and dispensing with a shaft and universal joint between clutch and transmission. Fifth-Friction is reduced to the limit by the finest ball and roller bearings; there is but one universal joint between transmission and full floating rear axle, giving a practically straight line drive and the least possible lost motion in the transmission of power. Sixth-The weight of the car ?9 from two to three hundred pounds under that of equal size and grade. Each of these points is of unusual advantage; collectively they enable the motor to give its maximum power and set the Hupp "33" apart and above cars of its size and price. HUPP "20" Standard Runabout $750, F. O. B. Detroit -(-cylinders, 20 H. P., oquipped with Bosh magneto, top windshield, gas lamps and windshield, oil lamps, tools andhorn,l 10 inch wheelbase.
