Liberal contracts made for thew, six, and twelve months THE ADVERTISER, Edgefield, S. C. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 22, 1902. Walhalla is to have a "horse swapper's" convention during court week in Novem ber. Edgefield's "bone-yard" should send a delegation. Some of our street traders, however, do not need further schooling in the ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. The grand lodge of Penn sylvania is making elaborate preparations for celebrating on Nov. the 4th the one hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of George Washington's initi ation into the Masonic frater nity. President Roosevelt,' who is a member of the Oys ter Bay lodge, will deliver an address. At a Republican rally in Aiken on Saturday last W. S. Dixon, of Barn well, was nom inated for congress. Every Democratic voter in the sec ond district should turn out and cast his ballot for Col. George W. Croft in the gen eral election. The election may be contested so let us make the majority unpreced entedly great. The Southern Christian Ad v?catele organ of the Meth odist denomination in South Carolina,is now published in Orangeburg but will at an early date be issued from the press of the Spartanburg Her aid. The Advocate compares very favorably with the lead ing religious papers of the country and w:e trust that this itinerancy will be promotive of its welfare rather than re sult in detriment to it. We may be considered presump permanent home for the Ad vocate and not let its abode ic a given place be of uncertain duration. - Leaders of the "$mart set" of some of-the large cities are smarting under the prickings of the pen of Henry Watter son. His editorals are not overdrawn but pictures of the real condition. They simply enable some of the "four hundred'' to see themselves and their doing as others see them. Mr. Watterson has turned on the search-light and exposed to the gaze of the world the multitude of social or "sawciety" sins that money has heretofore covered so effectively. That many of the society leaders are in return showering anathemas upon him for condemning wickendness in high places is to be expected. REFORMER WEEDS REFORMING* ' Uncle Sam should provide a house of detention for all fanatics of the Carrie Nation type. Their roaming over the country without let or hindrance is a great nuisance. That Mrs. Nation continues her "hatchetation" is shown by the following incident : A few days ago she entered a saloon in Austin, Texas, with the avowed purpose of de molisliing its contents, but the proprietor, an alderman of the city, being present and taking in the situation also took Mrs. Nation by the nape of the neck and cast her out bodily. What a spectacle, and after all what good comes of it ? Reforms are needed, especial ly in Mrs. Nations chosen field, but there are right ways and .wro?g ways of bringing about reforms. The course she persues brings re proach upon the cause which she endeavors to advance.The writer, along with millions of others,would rejoice at seeing every barroom in the land dispensaries included - d e stroyed in toto but the modus operandi of some temperance workers who labor to this end is far from what it should be. The end, although a laudable one, does not justify the means. THE STALE FAIR. In less than a week crowds will be flocking to Columbia from every point of the com pass to attend the annual state fair to be held October 28-31. Many people have been for years regular attendants upon this festive occasion. It af fords a pleasant surcease from the regular routine of life's duties. . Every section should, as a matter of county and state pride, be represented among the exhibits. We do not know to what extent the produce and resources of our county will be exhibited but we trust .that she will send her full quota-a very great number -of visitors. Take the school children down for a day;they would be greatly benefitted by the trip. Send the boys from the farm ; besides break ing the monotony of farm life the splendid exhibits of farm produce, hogs, sheep, cows and horses would be a stimu lus or incentive to them for months afterwards. The merchants should give their clerks a day off for the fair. On their return they would greet customers with brighter faces, having something new to think and talk of. Let the farmers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, the loafers and laboring men, one and all, with their wives, daughters or sweethearts,pay tribute to the fair by attending at least one day. SucrTa trip will give length to your days and breadth to your mind besides aid and encouragement to the promoters of the fair. VOTE, VOTE! The time for the general election, November 4th, is drawing near. The Demo cratic voters, not only of Edge field county and South Caro lina but of the entire South, should vote with the same eagerness and persistency in this election as they did in the primary. Many will be neg ligent or indifferent about go ing to the jjolls simply because their friends were defeated or elected, as the case may be, in the primary, deeming it not worth their while. This, in a sense, is a sel fish view to take of it. We should be actuated by a high er motive, that of the welfare - - 7 ~-u- - ". ff"" over us, like the sword of Damocles, the threat, by the party in power, to reduce the South's representation in the national congress. We do not believe that there is any probability of this being done, butin order to preclude the possibility of it we should vote our full strength. It be hooves us as citizens who love the southland, every inch of which has been hallowed by the blood and sacrifices of our fathers, to do our full duty. Especially true when the duty in question is simply that of casting our ballot. Now that the Republican party in the State has nomi nated candidates in several of the congressional districts, it is all the moie incumbent, in fact, imperative, that the Democratic citizens bear in mind the*general election. Of course it matters not what contingency may arise the Democratic majority will be great but it will be greater, vastly greater, if every one who should, will vote. Vote, vote, and again we say, vote on Tuesday, November 4th. Application for Homestead. Master's Office, ) Edgefiold,S. C. \ To Whom it May Concern : Mrs. Emmie C. Warren, widow of the late S . R. Warren, has filed her petition in this court praying that a homestead, as prescribed by the laws of this state, may be set off to her, out of the property of the late S. R. Warren, deceased.
