THE ADVERTISER,
Edgefield, 3. C._
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 29, 1902.
As was generally predicted
the coal mine operators are
recouping the loss sustained
while the mines were idle by
increasing the price of coal
fifty cents per ton. The con
sumers have no redress ; they
are forced to chip in to pay
the cost *of the strike.
The coal strike has been
settled but the unanswered
question is, "Who killed
Cock Robin, Roosevelt or|
Morgan?" Some ascribe the
honors to the President,
others to Morgan, who, in
many senses, wields more
power than the nation's chief
executive.
John G. Capers has shown
himself to be an unworthy
son of an honored and illus
trious father. Few are they
who believe that he is actu- j
ated by principle in his affili
ations with the Republican
party of this state. On the
contrary, many are they who
believe that he forsook the
traditions of his fathers for
the "loaves and fishes."
One pretext the cotton
kings have for keeping the
price of cotton so low is that
a top crop is being made? The
fact that this report is given
credence is a great injustice
to the farmers. The vague
possibility of a late crop, not
ten per cent of which ever
opens, causes a cut in the
price of the crop that is actu
ally made. _
)andonedy not
co^B^^e^T in correspond
ence with engineers with ref
erence to the cost of the sur
vey. When this has been as
certained efforts will be made
at once to raise the necessary
funds. We believe that the
people of our town as well as
those along the proposed
route will respond with a
spontaneity that will surprise a
even the most sanguine pro- s
moters of the enterprise. s
ti
More peas were planted in
' this section this year-conse
? quently the yield has been
greater-than for several
years. A farmer who resides
only a few miles from Edge
field told the writer that he
gathered 133 bushels last
week. The great wonder is
that all farmers do not plant
them more extensively. Only p
a small amount of labor is re- ?
quired to plant and cultivate
them, in fact no cultivation
is required when sown broad
cast. Unlike most crops, in-1 *
stead of impoverishing the
land they improve it. Peas | c
not only feed the impoverish
ed land but furnish palatable
and very nutritious food for
everything on the farm from | *
landlord down.

A STRONG LEGAL FIRM.
Lexington Dispatch : So-1 f
licitor j. Wm. Thurmond of
tdgefield, and G. Bell Tim
merman, of Batesburg, have
formed a co-partnership for
the practice of law in all its
branches. This is a strong le-1
g;al firm and no doubt will
meet with a large measure of
success. Mr. Timmerman is
the resident member of the
firm. We welcome Mr. Tim
merman in our midst and
bespeak for him a kindly re
ception by our people.

INDIAN SUMMER
The season designated, we
?now not why, as Indian
summer, is upon us. The
change that all nature is now
jndergoing presents a non-de
script scene. This blending
D? summer and autumn though
beautiful is not inspiring, for
it presages decay, death. The
earth has yielded its increase,
the harvest is almost past
which reminds one that win
ter, with its biting frosts and
chilling winds,is approaching.
The birds chirp in doleful
notes the knell of summer, be
ing in marked contrast with
the merry songs with which
they hailed the coming of
early spring. They seem to
be brooding over the adieus
that they soon bid, for a sea
son, to their present environ
ments when they wing their
flight to the land of perpetual
sunshine where they migrate
for the winter. At this sea
son the sun seems to have
veiled his face and the rays of
light come therefrom to us,
as it were, through a glass
darkly. But why should not
this variety, even of seasons,
contribute to the spice of life?
WHY HAVE A BUSI
NESS LEAGUE?
Occasionally the question,
why have a Business League?
is asked by some one who is
not informed as to the pur
pose of the league. The rea
sons why every town should
have such an organization are
so numerous and so obvious
that,to recite them,one knows
not where to begin. We call
to mind one circumstance
which proves conclusively
that the league will conduce
to the development and the
growth of our town.
A short time ago a Sc.
Louis capitalist wrote to the
Secretary of State at Colum
bia making inquiry as to a
suitable location for a knitting
mill. The letter was publish
ed in the daily papers and B.
E. Nicholson, Esq., chairman
of the Business League's com
mitte on new enterprises3
immediately wrote this gen
tleman setting forth Edge
field's advantages. Some
thing may or may not result
from the effort to secure this
. enterprise. One thing, how
jever, is certain, if . we_nevei
Sp?taHiiat is constantly flow
ng south, we will never get
t, Futhermore, foreign cap
tai will never come our way
mless we at least have enough
mterprise to make an effort
o get it.
Without organization and
ome one specially charged to
.e on the qui vive no notice
vrould ever be taken of such
?pportunities as the one cited
bove. The league is here to
tay and is neither dead nor
leeping but simply biding its
ime.
scents.
Eight cents a pound is
t/hat a young woman paid for
welve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
?aid one dollar for a bottle of
icott's Emulsion, and by tak
ng regular doses had gained
welve pounds in weight before
he bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is
heap for such valuable ma
erial. Some pay more, some
ess, some get nothing for
heir money. You get your
noney's worth when you buy
