WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1902.
The State Democratic con
vention will meet in Columbia
on May 2ist.
The beef trust is being gor
. ed and is bellowing loudly.
We trust that the vitals of the
trust will be laid bare.
The cotton mills are organ
izing themselves into an in
surance company to carry
their own insurance. Good.
John Wannamaker spends
$i,ooo a day advertising his
Philadelphia store. He uses
a page a day in five daig
ne wspapers. It pays.
Every week the charter
mill in Columbia grinds out
many charters for manufac
turing enterprises, but never
any for Edgefield.
The city of Augusta is
greatly ih need of an increase
in the number of her postmen
or mail carriers. Letters have
recently remained in the Au
gusta office over 19 hours be
fore being delivered.
There is grent dissatisfac
tion over the country ? nong
the wage earners. They are
demanding an increase in pay
and an eight-hour day. If de
mands-are not granted strikes
are threatened.
Honorable Thomas E Wat
son, who was a failure as a
Third party politician, is a

his law practice last year was

lectures for $500 each.

that too over the her.ds of
those who form them. Give
every honest man a chance.
Senator Tillman will be
restless and ill at ease, a fish
out of water, till he finds
something else to raise a stir
about. All of the furor about
McLaurin was much-a-do
about nothing. Since his af
filiations with the Republican
party became so evident for
some time it has been gener
ally conceded that McLaurin
would not go before the peo
ple, knowing that defeat star
ed him in the face.
Now that all the other
crops are planted the sweet
potato patch should receive
attention. The soil of this
section will produce as fine
potatoes as. any part of the
country. No one one ever
made too many sweet pota
toes. What cannot be sold
can be fed to man and beast.
More net profit per acre can
be derived from potatoes at
25 cents per bushel than from
almost any other crop. Set
out all the plants on the bed
and then later cut the vines
and set out as many more.

Clemson college have had a
meeting and after due consid

Thorn well and have allowed
the Sophomore class to re
turn to the college. Several
days prior to the meeting o?
the board President Hartzog
filed his resignation so as not
to embarrass the board in
making a thorough investiga

not be acted upon till the reg
ular meeting of the board in
June. The trouble is only!

COTTON PICKING.
A Mississippi inventor who
las been experimenting with
cotton picking machinery for
:he past ten years claims that
ie has at last perfected a ma
mine that will pick the fleecy
staple as deftly as the human
hand. He is so confident that
his invention will be a success
that he has already closed
contracts to pick the cotton
grown on several Mississippi
plantations. The State of
Texas alone could, with steam
plows and cotton picking ma
chinery, discard the negro
and the mule and grow cotton
enough to supply the world
The Texas planter having but
little or no fertilizers to buy
could with the aid of the
above mentioned twentieth
century labor saving farming
implements make more clear
money on five-cent cotton
than the planters of the other
sections of the cotton belt
could on ten-cent cotton. The
inventor of the cotton picker
admits that it will only work
on level land, consequently it
could never be used on our
rocky hills. We are almost
selfish enough to wish that it
will prove a failure.
Fire Insurance Companies.
Since the twenty-five per
cent increase in the rates
made some weeks ago the
fire insurance companies have
been cussed and discussed as
never before. That all com
panies have had a series of
heavy losses cannot be deni
ed, but some argue, and the
point seems to be well taken,
that these losses were unusu
ally great, an emergency, and
that the companies have pre
pared for these emergencies
by building up large surplus
es or reserve funds and that
it is an imposition and an in
justice to require the policy
holders by a sweeping 25 per
cent increase to restore the
in'pi ired reserve func!?. lt
appears to the uninitiated that
by a smaller increase of pre
mium, say 15 per cent., the
reserves could be gradually
built up as they once were.
Twentyfive per cent is a great
increase and will raise in a
year an enormous sum all of
which comes from the pock
ets of the people.
We have not heard of a cor
responding 25 per cent cut in
-j-p?-rJ-r^J-.-?""vi?- --. y i csidfents"
from $25,000 to $50,000 to do
practically nothing, highly
paid sub-officials doing the
work. It appears from the
standpoint of justice and equi
ty that the companies should
bsgin retrenchment along the
line of their current expenses.
When individuals have finan
cial reverses the first thought
is to economize and cut down
expenses, but it seems that
the first thought of some cor
porations when an ill wind
makes a rent in their sails is
to set about to make their
clientele repair it.
Many of the large cities are
forming local fire companies. |,
Here in Edgefield we have to
submit to whatever rate is
fixed by the Eastern and for
eign companies and in our
helplessness be thankful that
it is no worse.
