The following is taken from the Keystone, in a description of Miss Poppeuheim's visit throughout the State in February: "Y mr President visited Edgefleld at the invitation ol' the Auf Wiedersehen club, where the pleasant social intercourse with its members as well a? their enthusi. sm . in the State work, resulted in a close bond between your President and this dub; Johnston, where she organized the New Century Club, fifteen mem bers; Trenton where she organized a literary club of twenty-five members. We publish .'this week the annual abatement of the r?ank of EdgeBeld, t he best -financial showing, by the way, fer many years. With a capital stock of n it quite $i>J,'h)0 this bank h%s $1(8,692.74 of loans and discounts, with dividends of eleven per cent for the| fiscal year jus*; ended, seven per r.trnt. j of which goes in cash to stockholder? and four per cont to ?nert's.? the surplus. It is needles? to say thar stook of the Bank of Edefl'jid is up- t.p. up. But perhaps the heaviest and beat itein.ofthis statement i * the item of deposits, S94.540.41, for it shows not j only th? confidence in which the) Bank and its officials a*-e held but that. ! our people are learning to husband j their resources, to tak*- care of their1 money.

Meeting Sun day afternoon the following dele gates to the convention in Char leston w^re ducted: Misses Sallie Bailey, Linie Mirna, leilah Fair, Rev. Luther Wbiie, Milton Jjnes. On his return trip from the Young Men's Christie association of Kentuckey, Col., James Bacon, writing from At) an tn to The State, has the following to say of two Edgefield.ans in Atlanta. The present mayor of the great city of Atlanta ?6 Livingston M i ms, who*ras boru three miles east of the old town of Edgefield in tho c'osingye*rs of tne first third of the last century. Hisgrandft.ther, a revolutionary patrol, was one ot tbe charter settlers of Edg> field. His father was the first ordinary or judge of probate of Edgefield couutyupon itsorganization atcer the revolutionary war. He-or h,s widow-removed from Edge field to, we think. Columbus, Ga. Their home in Edgefield, now own ed by Mrs. Kale DeVore, and the ute of a grist mill, ia still knowe as /'the old Livingcton Mints pia.e. If we mistake not Mayor kims bas lived in Atlanta pretty much throughout all its years-it leading social, political, and bus iness factor a man whose influences have steadily permeated the whole city. He is a stately, elegant gentleman-this Edgefield boy-a gracelul and gratelul cuinbiuaiion of Sir Galahad and Sir Lancelot. He is strong of mind and strong of body, well read and profoundly cultured, broad, generous, genial. And.be is what Rudyard Kipling calls "a gentleman unafrai.i." Atlanta's telephone "500," the queen reguaut of th? telephone ex change, is out lovely and beloved little neighbor Marguerite Fraser Edgefield's "airy, fairy Lillian," Edgefield's precious lamb. How strange are the providences.of God 1 How wonderful his awards and rewards i Noble, beautiful Marguerite Fraser, born in the purple aud of purple blood, daugh ter of hieb and stern duty-as Atlanta's "500." Atlanta may see the perfect outward beauty of Marguerite Fraser. Her mon perfect" inward beauty Atlanta may never know. A ti au ti? would do well to know it. Stops the Cough and works off th? Colet.

The House mem bers were obliged to driuk theee steaming spiked lemon punches regularly every day to keep from having grip-it was a severe pun ishment to them however. I was worn to the bone at dinner time .'erring up hot rice to the Berkley and Summerville gang, each man demanded a dish of rice. I ad mired their low-country dial vet and mauerism. We went out often to the night sessions to bear the politicians or Carolina in raw debate. Mr. Stephenson, the Speaker of th? House, looking youthful but digni fied, presiding over that large as sembly. ' Lieut. Gov. Tillman was con sidered the most distinguished 'ooklug aud ablest member of Carolinas legislators-brilliant, grand looking in his ro?e of royfl purple. When he rapped with his gavel he kept perfect order. Public op'niou is that he will be the next governor if he desire?: th<; position. And I do not forget that ho is lo give me a free pass and return on ' my visit to Washington, D. 0., in 1 the spring. ' Edgefield is justly proud of her delegation.

Interstate Protective Association Just Formed. The cotton growers of the southern Slates are trying to get down to a basis of organization this year, and they hope to accom plish somethi"g that will have effect in the marketing of the 1901 crop. Mr. J. C. Wilborn, the president] of the State Cotton Growers' as sociation, who has been for a long j time at the nead of the Natiouai State Farmery's Alliance organiz tious, says that active steps are already being taken, and he is satisfied that a great deal will be accomplished. Kn has just re turned from Atlanta, where be weut to attend the meeting of the, executive committee of the general Oo'.toi Grower's association, the iirst gathering on the line indicat ed ytt to be held. The Hon. Hoke Smith is chairman of this committee and it is composed of * *:-?. iir>cr?i frn'ii I .Jrosson of Leesville. At the meeting it was decided r.;i torm at on"9 au Inter S'?t< Cottou Growers Proteclive ns30cia* UDU and to establish ti bureau ol information, keeping up through .eporte with the exaci acerase, the crop conditions and the number of prospective bales in each State. The headquarters of the associa ?ou's bureau with for the present be at Monticello, Ga. The organ cation of tte association was iffected by the election of Hon. J. Harvey Jordan of Monticello, Ga., as president; Col. R. A. Love of this State as vice president and J. B. Allison of North Carolina as secretary. The cotton growers in all the States interested have been urged to organize upon a general plan to be promulgated covering every! county in the cotton region, and make direct reports to tho associa tic a bureau. Mr. Wilborn says that all along] the line one of the largest crops] *vcr known is expected this year,) and that cotton growers will fail in their duty to themselves and their familes if they do not seek the ouly protection they can get that resulting from organization. A sub-committee was appointed to confer with the Southern Press assocition. Mr. Wilborn, as president of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' issociation, wishes it announce i rhat he stands ready at any time tvheu called upon to any point iu the State and assist in the organiza tion of branches of the association. -The State.

It Adds to thc Comfort and Health of Resideuts. 8ir: A recent editorial which I understand appeared in The American Architect," of Boston ?ives credit the effota of to the free Planting Association iu New York City and draws attention to tba annual increaso in the rumbei of trees that have been pl au ted since the association was organized, but it espressos the wish 'thatFom? statistics could be tr^ken to illus trate the effectof the tree planting in cities as closely built as New Vork City upon the health of tbe people affected," and he goes on to slate that 4,as a matter nf fact tip streets which now possess.such trees are iu many ca>r* gloomy through the shading nf the lower windows of the houses and ill smelling through the influence of the trees in checking the circula iion of air over the toad .rays and gutters." Any discussion that relates to the health, comfort and pleasure of the vast communities congregat ed iu cities is most interesting, and ?hould command wide attend tion. The inquiries made by the writer of the article in question are easily answered by the almost universal testimony of members of the medical profession that the effect of trees is Btrictly beneficial to health ; but as the inquirer ask* for statistics, I would refur him and all other inquirers to an exhaustive article on this subject, written by Dr. Stepher Smith and first printed in Appleton's Populad Scienca Mouthy" for February 1899, entitled "Vegetation a Reraey dy for Summer Heat of Cities,'! a plea for the cultivation of tree?,* shrubs, plants, vines and grasses on the streets of New York for tbej improvement of the public health,! for the comfort of summer residents and for ornamentation. Dr. Stephen Smith is an eraiaeutj authority on the subject. Tliej limits of this article will not) admit of giving the statistics thai be published, but he shows cool clubively that the mortality of l_W city is greases: during i he Heated mouths, and that trtjes cool ii <} air, purify thc atmosphi4e bj absorbing tho noxious gases amy ?.??ir. a*???<?" ??' i " :'? ' ' . . '.;* .' ..-.h. tiuuut^a tnou?and squari feet, or' jib-ova five acres of foliage." Again, the shade of trees piotectf I ho earth from the direct rays of thr sun and prevents solar radiatioi. from the earth. Tbis is of immense impor tance in cities where tin pived streets become excessivolv h 'ated, and radiation creates one of the most daugerons source of beat. Whoever has walked the streets of New York on a hot sum mer's day, protected from thy direct raye of a midday sun bj his umbrella, has found the reflect ed heat of the pavement intoler able." If for a moment he passed into the dense shade of a tree he at once experienced a marked senee of relief. This relief is not due so much to the shade as to the cooling effect of the vaporization from the leaves of the tree. In tho January number of "Park and Cemetery and Landscape Gardening," page 252, confirmatory evidence is furnished in a some what scientific article on street trees, a few extracts from which are furnished below : Trees have a sanitary effect upon oities. Thoy purify the atmospr.| here. They act as a refrigerant. The refrigerating power of grow ing treen tends to increase with the rising atmospheric tomperalure. During all seasons trees maintain a mean temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit. Excessive and prolong ed heat cause Revitalization, sick ness and death. From the above it is evident that tre^s have a whole some influence upon the reside.i's of cities by purifying and cooling the atmosphere and afforlinel the atmosph?re nud afford in-' shade. There is one itatcnnnt in tb* ar'iole first alluded to that woui.t in 1 catn a want, of Accurate know re st?ees Direct from the ?. No Jobbers Profits. ledge on the part of the author namely, that clause io which he srajes that as a matter of fact "the streets which DOW possess such trees are in many instances gloom}' through th* sbaling of the lower windows of thc bousds and ill smelling'through the influnioe of the trees in checking the circula tion ' i' air over the roadways and gutters." Tn is association has published many photographs of streets that are the best supplied with trees, but if. lins yet to learn of any houses thutsre unpleasantly shaded, and there is certainly not ono street that is iii smelling, unless from some other cause. Unfortunately tho older trees have, asa rule, been cut down, whi!" those recently planted cauuot as yet furnish shado- that is so much needed hi our streets. Instead of checking the circula. Sion of air they aid it. Every characteristic of thc properly selected tree fav?rs the comfort and heaith of the citizen, aud as free? add to the beauty of the streets, to their at tract i ve uss for residential purposes, and therefor* to the value of the p^perti** where they are planted, it behooves all who wish to enjoy their be auties and to benefit by their advantages to plant trees. This can be r'iccessi JiJy dene as so.n ts the frost is'oat of the .ground Yours very truly. CORNELIUS B MITCHELL. Vice-President Tne Planting Associa*rot1, N?w York Citv.
