Our people are in earnest about getting together and working together for our town. The citizens of every wide a wak*, progressive town are banded together for the pro motion of whatever conduces to the public good. Half a hundred citizens signed the call for the meet i n g on Friday afternoon. Surely, with so many should ers to the wheel something will be done. The candidates for state and congressional honors are the guests of Edgeiield coun ty today. Give them a cor dial greeting Let every speaker have the thoughtful and earnest attention of the audience. Receive them as gentlemen /eceive gentlemen. EDGEFIELD CM DO WHAT OTHERS DO The Ninety Six correspon dent to the Columbia State makes the following state ment: "The projected cotton mill will have a 10,000-spiudle capacity and will be capitalized at $200,000. A charter has been applied for end work will commence at au early date. All the necessary capital has been secured, the homefclks taking $75,000." Ninety Six is a town of about 6oo people and is to have a cotton mill capitalized at $200,000 of which $^5,000 is subscribe<^aVTour informa tion goes the ..homefolks" of Edgefield have not 75 cents invested in manufacturing en terprises. Yet many wonder - why business is dull and why, there is not more life-com mercial life-in the old town. The wayfaring man though a fool can see the why. A #town that is chiefly dependent for its support upon the agri cultural interests which, on account of the impoverished condition of the lands and un favorable seasons, are limited and uncertain, cannot expect booming business 12 months in the year. The dull time mustjjecessarily come when -cTmoney is being paid out for farm labor and when no crop is being marketed. What Edgefield needs is to . supplement her present re sourcej with varied enter prises, great and small, that will afford employment for ?11 classes and conditions of la bor. In proportion as these enterprises multiply the vol- 1 ume and frequency of the pay-rolls will increase which will in turn swell the bank de posits ; increase the volume of the merchants' business; add hundreds to our popula tion, thereby benefitting the doctors, lawyers, dentists, schools and churches. In urging the neecj of in dustrial enterprises we do not discount or disparage the mill that is already established in Edgefield. It will compare favorably with any other mill in the state of equal size. One semi-monthly pay roll, how ever, divided among so many does not appreciably increase the volume of business We need a dozen pay-rolls. Business men of Edgefield, s not the above a true state ment Of facts instead of be ng an idle day dream of a eorist? Think on these ings. HAPPY TIME IN OLD TOWN. .We felt very happy," write?

C., Saturday night last two negroes were lynched and nine white men wounded. THE .YEW CHARLESTON. Charleston, that staid old city of which poets have sung and historians have written many pages,has been for these hundreds of years sui generis. She has recently, however, undergone a transition. Through the Exposition and its iniluences Charleston has been changed into a hustlng, bustling, twentieth century city in which new methods and new ideals prevail. As the heaving and trembl ing of the earth in '86 demol ished many of her cherished relics of the old colonial days so has the Exposition and the cosmopolitan throng which attended it left their impress by dissipating, in a large measure, the ultra-conser vatism of social and commer cial life. Many a hitherto unknown innovation is now to be seen. Notably that of the reporter bearding the lion in his den by invading and profaning the sacred precin cts of Charleston's exclusive and reclusive social set and exploiting their social func tions in the public prints. Doubtless some of Charles ton's old antiquated citizens, who, nothing daunted, cling to the ideas and customs of their fathers and forefathers, are now saying that this new order of things will, in the language of Mr. Mantilini, lead the city to the "demni tiofi bowwows." Charleston has taken on new life. Commercially speak ing, a new heaven and a new earth have opened up to her. So marked will be the change in Charleston, due to the Ex position, that we sliall in fu ture call her the New Char leston. FILTHY TEMPLES IN INDIA.

A. R. NICHOLSON, Supt. E. E. C. WHEN BABY IS COMING USE Mother's Friend. Woman's greatest dream cf beauty and glory is when nature has chosen 1'ier to Become a mother. Every faculty ls keenly alert and her nature the "finest as she fore sees the loy, the ambition, the success and the life-?onj? satisfaction coming, coming' nearer, day by day, in the dear and innocent being so soon to see light, and the very uncertainty whether she shall see a sweet girl face or a bru ve boy fate beside her on the pillow, adds zest to her expectancy. Then, if ever, she should take care of her physical, mental and moral health. MOTHei?-?

Edgefield has three young nen who are going to make nen o f themselves. Now :hat school is over for a sea ;on, Messrs .Horace Cogburn, Ralph Jones and Kalford Bur ion have gone down to work, ;he real thing, in the cotton nill in order to learn the bus ness. This is a splendid sum ner school for them. There ire about a half dozen others who should follow their prais tvorthy example. Which is ;he more commendable, whit ing on dry goods boxes and jeing one of the gang on the :orner, in other words, a loaf er, or working in the mill earning the cotton mill busi less. Cerainly the latter is m hundred times more com mendable. Young men who :hoose the industrial field will find that not only remunerat ve employment but great pos sibilities lie before them. The many friends of Hon. W. R. Parks desire to nomi nate him for the Legislature at the coming Democratic primary. This is the result of a meeting of citizens held at Modoc, June 28, 1902, and was against his personal wish. We believe, however, that the interest of the county should be put as far as poss ible at all times in the hands of able and conservative busi nese men such as Mr . Park, anJ at personal sacrifice he has patriolicaliy consented to let his name go before his fri low citzens at the comeing primary. We appeal with con fident of the people f r his election. Not only is he an able and successful man but he is conservativeand the pub lie interest can be safely en trusted to his hands and bus inessjudgement with the as! surance that they will be eco 1 nomically and wisely direct-1 ed. We believe the connty is fortunate to secure the servie of such of her citzens. We pledge him to abide by the votes of the Democratic pri mary and to support^theJLorn.iJ MANY FRIENDS.

Holley, Rr,, Writes Some Very Readable Facts About Aiken's Congression ional Champion i n the Second District. (From Barnwell People.) One of the most notable figur?e n South Carolina Politics this -ear is Col. G. W. Croft of Aiken 5. C. who has lately announced limself as a candidate for Cong ees from this District. His pleas ng personality and generous na ure have loug endeared him to all vho are fortunate enough tj uum )er him among their ncquaintaii :ee. He has always been pre-emin intly a man of the people,and we're old that during Iiis long practice it the bar, his distinguished abili y has often been given free of margo to the cause of the helpless ?nd oppressed. When the grim tide of civil war iad rolled across the Savauuah, md the followers of Sharman had )egun to cut their swath of de struction across oui fair stute, .hough but iin nutried stripling he vent to the fron*, wilh hit cinssat he Citadel fi cad'-rey und bon him self gallantly in several bloody en gagements. Wbon tho curtain had fallen on the dreadful drama o fraternal strife he finished hi.s ed ucation at the University nf Vir ginia and studied law under Gov. B.F.Perry,oneof the ablest lawyers af his vim?. begun the practice of hie profession at A i lc F ti on the formation of t'.* county in 1872, and is today uot only a leader nt his bar but one of the brightest le gal lig"itfi in the Bta'p. When our state lay prostrate under th? heel of alien carpet-bag. gerB ? nd nativo scnlawags.he ne\er faultored in his devotion to the ccuse of good government and iii the stirring davs of 1S70 lie led,ns captain ol the Palmetto R i fiep, t?i? flower of the young men men of bise- linty to ibo bloody riots at El lenton and put-to flight the black hordes who were bent on murder and rapine. For this net of patri otism he pu* his liberty in jeopar dy and wan on trial for twenty, two days iu the United States' court at Charleston, where ev^ry effort that party malice could de vise was used to convict the patri otic men, who put their own lives in danger for the public good. Few men of Col. Croft's talent have been more reluctant to seek publib office and he has never held an office of profit. From 1876 io 1882 be was chair man of the Democratic party of Aikenjjouniy. In l?Sfl kc iroorlecC* ?sirofate senator to fill an unexpir ed term and jn ?B expiration was elected to the House of Represen tatives. In 1900 he was elected to 4,he House* of Representatives and made a splendid record, espe cially was he complimented by the press of the state on advocacy of and the magnificent speech on the child labor bill and no mem ber of the legislature was more ac tive than he in securing the anti trust act. In 1892 Col. Croft was elected president of the state bai association, which position he now holds. No man is better equipped mor ally or mentally for the high office to which be aspires than this gift ed son of Aiken, aud we tase pleasure in bespeaking for him the earnest ( onsideration of every vo ter in ?bis congressional district.
