Liberal contracts made for three, six, and twelve months THE ADVERTISER, Edgefield, S. C. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 1, 1902 g The city of Augusta has granted 83 licenses to retailers of liquor. -<$>? The Democrats have it on to the Republicans. The latter have no Speaker while the former still have Bryan noted for his much speaking. ? The Elks of Augusta are making great preparations for the fair to be given by them this fall. It gives promise of surpassing any thing held heretofore. Tho Chamber of Commerce has not planted any new industry yet, but it has attracted scores upon seoras of inquiries as to Augusta. More people are asking about Au gusta now than at any time in twenty years .-Augusta Chronicle. The Business League is to Edgefield what the Chamber of Commerce is to Augusta. The League will not only ad vertise and boom our town but will, we confidently be lieve, be the means of estab lishing several new enterpris es. -<$> At a meeting of the Busi ness League, held on Mon day evening last, a committee of ten representative citizens was appointed to meet with the citizens of Ropers this af ternoon to discuss the propos ed electric road from Augus ta. The result of the confer ence will be reported at a called meeting of the League to be held in the court house Friday evening at 7:3o A great majority of our peo ple are anxious for the road to be constructed to Edge field, and are willing to offer every reasonable inducement to the owners of the* Aiken line. -- Aiken county lawlessness is being well advertised. On accounts of the numerous hold-ups and assaults by ne groes the county treasurer states in his annual advertise ment: "I do not think it would be doing justice to my self or the county to risk my life and their money by travel ing through the a country 'n private conveyance as hereto fore, so in the future I will only go to such points as can be reached by rail." We would not be surprised to read such an announcement as the above from a county treasurer of one of the states of the far west, but we must confess our surprise at such an announcement coming from a county bordering on Edgefield. If the proper pun ishment was meted out to these highwaymen the cause for such precaution on the part of the county treasurer would be removed. ?222 Beauiy Triumphs, 'Tim m Price/ens 7>ea02u>o.

Q When we are experiencing, from a monetary standpoint^ seasons of plenty (?) in the south, the north is passing through a famine. At this sea son heavy drafts are made upon New York banks for money to move the crop. This demand upon Wall street banks was greatly increased a few days ago by the unusual fluctuations on the stock ex change which carried the rate on call loans to 20 per cent. Think of money being loaned at 20 per cent on Wall street where the prevailing rate is from four to six per cent. School Openings. Vacation is ended. Ding dong groes the school bell all over the land. From the remote corners of the rural districts through the hamlets and vill ages on to the densely popu lated cities can be heard the echoing and re-echoing of the call to books and the study hall. The boys and girls have bidden their pleasures a long farewell. The beaming, smil ing countenance has given place to one of dejection. The young ladies and young men having reached the age at which they duly realize the grave responsibilities that a wait them later in life take more seriously to the task. Having put away childish things-aims and ideals-they ?seize and improve every op portunity of intellectual de I velopment. That parents realize more keenly than ever the impor tance of educating their chil dren is shown by the large en rollment of the country schools, graded schools and colleges. Parents have awak ened to the fact that no great er legacy than that of a good education can be left to their children. Greater by far than silver and gold, vast estates or cattle upon a thousand hills. One that moths nor rust can corrupt nor thieves break through and steal. May this tidal wave of en th us ia m and interest in the education of the youth of the land continue, for on this hangs the peace and prosperity of our country. NORTH NOT AN ELDORADO OR A CANAAN. Occurrences that have tran spired frequently within the last few years prove two things beyor.d peradventure. First, that the much boasted friendship of the northern peo ple for the negro does not ex ist in fact. Second, that the southern white people are the only true friends of the color ed race. The northerner who is not on the spot and who knows nothing of the real condition of the negro delights in moralizing and philosoph izing upon the race question. There are a few who con tribute from their abundance toward the improvement of the race, but these are the ex ceptions and not the rule. Many northerners clamor for social equality and politi cal recognition for the negro They preach this to others but what do they practice A recent dispatch from Illinois states that 54 negro families, some of them owning improved farms, have been compelled to sacrifice their property and leave. There has been many an exodus of negroes from different sections of the south ; always voluntary, however, never at the point of the bay onet. In proportion to the number of negroes who live in each section there are more lynch ings throughout the north than than in the south. The north i cents Eight cents a pound is what a young woman paid for twelve pounds of flesh. She was thin and weak and paid one dollar for a bottle of Scott's Emulsion, and by tak- | ing regular doses had gained twelve pounds in weight before the bottle was finished. Eight cents a pound is j cheap for such valuable ma-j terial. Some pay more, some j: less, some get nothing for their money. You get your ] money's worth when you buy Scott's Emulsion. 1 We will send you a little : free. ? 1 SCOTT & BOWNE, CHEMISTS, 409 Pearl Street, New York. 50c. and $ 1.00 ; all druggists, ? JEWELRY.

Willie Levy 844 Broad Steet, Augusta, Ga. cannot longer be regarded by the negro as'an Eldorado, lt is not to them a Canaan, "the promised land" which flows with milk and honey, as has been pictured to them.
