"Luck" is Still With Us. We have, along with hundreds of other so-called farmers, been somewhat "blue" because with all of the coaxing and cajoling possi ble the cotton on The Advertiser's farm has stoutly refused to "come up" satisfactorily. However, a different color was given the situa tion when on reaching home last evening it was announced that nine ducklings, 14 chicks and 18 little turkeys "came up" during the day. Possibly with the aid of these fledglings the wolf can be kept from the door a while longer. Now will somebody be kind euough to insure their lives? Do Not be Discouraged. "Uncle" Ollie Holmes, of the Red Hill section, who is beloved by everybody who knows him, was in town Monday, and in dissertating upon the weather, about which we hear so little these days, he said that he has been a tiller of the soil for about 40 years and that this year si nj ply "caps the climax." He has never seen anything like it be fore. He says, however, that he is not discouraged by the poor stand and unfavorable outlook.There is yet plenty of time in which to make a crop, even where cotton has not been plan:ed. "Uncle" Ollie said the best crop he ever made was planted lau?. ''Robir. of Sherwood." The senior class of the College for Women, Columbia, S. C., is to give the Ivizabetban Interlude, "Robin of Sherwood" 3t its com mencement on the evening of the 2nd and 4th of lune. This play is ^given by permission of its author, Prof. J. R. Crawford of Yale Uni-; versity. The music is adapted to the period of the play and was ar ranged by Prof. O. S. Smith of the Yale Conservatory of music. The brilliant and effective costumes are being prepared especially for this production by Waas and son of Philadelphia. The scene of the greenwood as laid in the gardens of the college will be very effective. There are over 90 in the cast and neither time nor money has been spared to make this production the best in the his tory of college dramatics. It is hoped that all the friends of the students and the college throughout the state will attend th:s perform ance and enjoy this rare treat in the renewal of the old interlude and this merry making of the Notting ham fair. Admission 75 cents for one performance. Barbecue in Compliment to Merchants. During the past few 3rears Edge field has contributed a considerable number ol' recruits to the vast army of traveling salesmen who make regular tour? of this and adjoining states supplying the needs of the retail merchants. In order to show their appreciation of the liberal business accorded them, the Edge field traveling men have planned a barbecue to be given in Judge De Vore's grove Friday, May 30, in compliment to the merchants of Edgefield and the country mer chants of the county. Covers will be laid for 100 persons, fully that number or more invitations having been issued. The hosts will also in clude in their list of guests jobbers and manufacturers whom they rep resent. This bringing of thc whole sale and retail merchants together will be promotive of the welfare of both. Personal acquaintance and personal contact greatly facilitate i the transaction of business, making the business relations more pleasant to all parties. A prominent speaker has been invited to deliver an ad dress in the afternoon and it is probable that there will be short after-dinner speeches by several of the traveling men themselves. The hosts on this occasion will be T. E. Lamb, Jerome P. Timmerman, S. F. Logan, C. E. May, C. M. Wates, J. B. Kennedy, W. N. Fair, Allen Samuel, J. M. Lawton, W. J. Dun can, Dave W. Page, T. W. Car wile, C. M. Thomas, Charles R. Dobson, W. M. Dunbar and Tho?. R. Hoyt. Gambreli-N?cholson. Because of thc wide popularity of the groom throughout the coun ty, much interest is manifested in the approaching Gambrell-Nichol son wedding, the formal announce ment being made as follows: "Mrs. William Green Gambrell announces the appraaobing mar riage of her daughter Helen to Dr. Alber t Rhett Nicholson on Wed nesday, June the eleventh nineteen hundred and thirteen, Tryon, j*orth Carolina." Cheap Trip to Florida. Attention is directed to the ad vertisement in this issue of the Georgia and Florida railroad in which very low rates are offered from Augusta to Jacksonville and other points in Florida. Tickets will be placed on sale June 10 with a limit of five or seven days. This affords the people of this section a splendid opportunity to visit Flori da at a minimum expense. Read the advertisement of the Georgia and Florida railroad. Winburn-Burckhaiter. The Advertiser acknowledges the receipt of the following invitation, announcing the approaching mar riage of Mr. Bnrckhalter of Aiken wno graduated from the S. C. C. I. several years ago : "Mr. J. T. Winburn requests the honor of your presence at the mar riage of of his daughter Carrie Oli ver to Mr. Ben Terrell Bnrckhalter, on Wednesday evening, June tbe fourth, at half after eight o'clock, at First Baptist church, Sumter, South Carolina." Fine Oats Around Cleora. Mr. C. M. Williams came down to Edgefield early this moring to purchase twine to wse in harvesting his large crop of grain. Mr. Wil liams will make sufficient wheat to supply his family with flour in spite of the unfavorable conditions. He will also make a fine crop of oats. There are numbers {of fields of oats in the Cleora section that will make 50 bushels per acre. Mr. Williams I and Mr. W. T. Reel own a binder jointly, which will ^enable them to harvest their crop of grain, about 70 acres, without much difficulty. They can cut from 10 to 20 acres perday. Y. W. A. Meeting. The Y. W.

Editor Advertiser: Leaving Or angeburg wish my family in a tour ing car on last Thursday morning, we made rapid time and found trav eling delightful till we passed Ai ken, then being heavily loaded, the sand hindered oor progress so that it took' us as long to finish the last twenty miles of our journey as it had to come the former sixty or seventy miles from Orangeburg. We finally stuck fast in a deep sand bed near the home of Mr. W. A. Pardue; and but for the kindly as sistance of himself and family we would really have suffered. Now we are pleasantly located for the summer near the 'Plank Road." If it were true to its name, we should ask no better situation, but when we think of going any where, we are confronted by the problem of sand, sand, sand! Traveling for three years over the roads of Orangeburg county has completely spoiled me, and has im pressed me as nothing else could have done with the importance and great benefit to any county of hav ing good roads. With 6uch roads and telephone lines, time and dis tance are almost annihilated; and the people of th? whole county can communicate and mingle together as one great neighborhood. Besides the greater pleasures o f living under such conditions, busi ness thrives better, and property values are greatly enhanced. In the county from which I have'just come, the average price of land is from fifty to one hundred dollars per acre, even in the remotest parts. This laud is of course very tine, but not so far finer than much of the land in Edgefield county. Take the land up and down the Plank Road. Much of it is level, and could be built up to yield immense crops. With a fine clayed road to Augusta, so that marketing would soon be easy, a transformation would soon come to this section. The population would increase, a great deal more money would be made, and the benefit of this would be shared by . both Augusta and our up-country j towns. I wish that all of the people I could see and realize the difference I that this one thing of good roads would make in our county. Then they would come together, and by contributing of their money, or teams, or labor, they would soon find themselves abreast of any coun ty in the state. For the capital in vested this would do more good than even a railroad. Having finished my work in Or angeburg, I would be willing to de-" vote my time this summer to mak ing an active canvass for the means to put this movement on foot at once. I hope that the county board will give this question their imme diate attention, and let us .see if we cannot accomplish great things by the end of this year. W. J. Gaines. Trenton, S. C. Notice of Final Settlement. 1 will make a final settlement on the estate of C. C. Bnrkhalter de ceased, in the office of the Probate Judge of Edgefield county, on the 2Uth day of June 1913, and at this time will apply fora final discharge as administratrix of said estate. All persons interested will take due no tioe, and govern themselves accord ingly. Carrie Bnrkhalter Freeland. Adm. 5-21-4t. Keep The Kidneys Well, Health is Worth Saving, and? Some Edgefield People Know How to Save it. Many Edgefield people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Weak kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and .'ll health, the slight est delay is dangerous. Use Doan's kidney pills, a remedy that has helped thousands of kidney suffer ers. Here is an Edgefield citiz^'s recommendation.^ Mrs. Hattie Dunn, Edgefield, S. C., says: "i suffered from kidney complaint for several "years and my health was so badly run down that I could hardly get around. The kid ney secretions were in bad shape and caused ino no end of trouble. I On various occasions I have used Doan's kidney pills and have re-i ceived a world of good. They have made me feel like another person. Pains in my back and sides disap peared and my kidneys again did their work as they should. This remedy is without doubt the best one to be had for kidney complaint." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
