T?IK ADVERTISER,
Edse?ield, S. C.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1902.
The Southern Baptist Con
vention will be held in Savan
nah next year.
William C. Whitney, the
sport and society leader of
Aiken's mid-winter visitors,
is the largest land owner in
the state of Massachusetts.
The State Democratic con
vention assembles in the cap
ital city to-day. From now
on the candidates will have to
pull off their coats, roll up
their sleeves and get down
to business.
Congressman Lever has re
ceived assurances that the
$25.000 appropriation with
which to erect a suitable mon
ument to the memory of Gen.
Sumter, the revolutionary
hero, will be granted. The
monument will be erected in
the town of Sumter.
. Congress has appropriated
$200.000 for those who are
destitute and suffering on the
island of Martique in conse
quence of the recent volcanic
waves or eruptions of Mont
Pelee. Liberal personal con
tribu ions have also been
made.
.' The meatless meal is be
coming a fad now-a-days. A
meatless meal is nothing new,
however, to the average
country editor. Many of
tr>em would sit down to a
breadless meal if they depend
ed solely upon some de
Jinquent subscribers.
-uiiu-non-union ' people
;are now striking at each
.other. A house divided
against itself must fall. This
iwiUJbe4he fate of the op
eratives in Augusta.
. Peace and harmony have
been restored at Clemson.
The resignation of president
Hartzog was not acted upon
by the Board of Trustees. It
is probable that the resigna
tion will be accepted by the
board at its meeting in June.
A number of prominent men
have already been suggested
as president Hartzog's suc
cessor, among them being
Judge W. C. Bennett, Dr. J M
McBride and Prof. R. Means
Davis, Others are yet to be
heard from.
Encouraging News.
When we look with fear
and misgiving as to the future
it is reassuring to have the
pending gloom even in a
measure dispelled. Telegraph
ic despatches from Mississip
pi state that in the section
?ast of the Mississippi river
there is no increase in the
cotton acreage for this year.
The increase for the State of
Texas ls estimated at 5 per
cent. The dispatch further
states that on account of the
lateness of the season the
preparation for planting was
not thorough and the crop
was very hurriedly pjt in.
With only a small increase
in the acreage which is offset
by hurried planting it is not
probable that a very large
crop will be produced this
year. Lastyear;s crop will be
practically exhausted by Sep
tember. In view of the
above and cotton now bring
9? cents does it not seem that
a good price this fall is rea
sonably certain. A full crop
sold at a good price would
put the farmers of Edgefleld
County on their feet again.
What Thin Folks Need
is a greater power of digesting
?nd asstmilatiog food. For them
Dr. King's New Life Pills work
wonder?. They tone and regula.e
tao digestive orgaue, gently expel
all poisons from the system,eurich
the blood, improve appetite, make
healthy flesh. Only 25c at G. h.
Penn & Son's.
Thc Second District
The nice for the congress
ional honors of the 2nd dis
xict Will be of unusual inter
?st to the people of Edge field
There will be three candi
dates in the field. Hon. Gi
Duncan Bellinger of Barn
well, Hon Geo! W. Croft, of
Aiken, and Hon. J W, Thur
mond of Edgefield. AU of
these gentleman have been
in public life for some ' years
and each one has a strong
following. It is impossible
to forecast what the verdict
of the second primary will be.
Each one of course is confi
dent of winning the coveted
prize. For the benefit of
those who may have. forgot
ten what counties, under the
re-districting bills compose
the 2nd congressional district
we give them, as follows:
Hampton, Beaufort,. Barn
well, Bamburg, Aiken, Salu
da and Edgefield. We be
lieve the campasgn in this
district will be conducted up
on a high and honorable
plane. The beginning, prog
ress and ending will be watch
ed with much interest and
enthusiasm.
The County Summer School
The County Superintend
ent of Education says there
are about 60 white schools
in the county giving employ
ment to over 100 teachers,
yet the average attendance at
the Summer school last year
was only 17.
lt is true that many of the
teachers are non-residents of
the county and a very small
percentage of them attend
the state summer school at
Winthrop, but after account
ing for these where is the
vast majority of teachers
while the summer school is
in session. Teachers general
ly are not paid as they should
be but increased efficiency
on their part will bring about
increased compensation.
The cost to the count) and
state in providing the normal
course for the 17 teachers
last year was just as great as
it would have been had the
attendance averaged 50. Thc
public money is being ex
pended and thc people-the
patrons of the schools-are
not getting full value in re
turn because of the manifest
?ndi&?rpprg on the-P3S?? oi
ant teacher ever attended one
of these normal schools with
out beiDg greatly benefitted.
It matters not how many di
plomas a teacher may hold
he stands in need of being
taught how to instruct and
develop the youthful mind.
The teachers of Edgefield
county are peculiarly in need
of this training because the
majority of them are young,
and have not the "lamp oil
experience" to guide them.
Col. F. N. K. Bailey has
very kindly consented for the
sessions of the summer
school to be held in the col
lege building. Board can be
had in Edgefield at a very
reasonable rate. Unless
providentially kept a w a y
every teacher in the county
should be enrolled.
Holds up a Congressman
"At the end of the campaign,"
writes Champ Clark, Missouri's
brilliant congressman, "from over
work, nervjus tension,loss of sleep
and constant speaking I had about
utterly collapsed. It seemed that
all the organs in my body were out
3f order, but three bottles of Elec
tric Bitters made me all right. It's
the best all-around medicine ever
sold over a druggist's counter."
Dver-worked, run-down men and
weak, sickly women gain splendid
aealth and vitality from
Bitters. Try them. Only 50c. GuH[
luteed by ti. L. Penn & Son.
