WEDNESDAY, FEB. 18, 1903.
A bill has' been introduced in
the legislative balls of Kansai that
provides "that bachelors shall pay
$50 per year, doubled eyery year
they remain single. Old maids
shall pay a tax of $5 a year, doub
led every year. The money deriv
ed from the tax shall be used to
pay rewards to fathers of six or
more childien at $100 per year
apiece." We wieh such was the
law here, but it would be mighty
hard on Bro. Bacou and the entire
Chronicle force, as they are all un
married. Newspaper men would
simply have to ir arry in self-de
fense, for they never have $50 at
one time much less double that
amount each year.
Never before. have we heard
of so many l>auks and newspapers
being organized as we have this
year. The banks may prosper aud
tiouritth, but the path of the news
paper men will by no means be
one strewn with flowers, even if
they surrouud themselves with the
roost ardeut supporters. The pub
lic does not know the many weary
hours spent in tryiug to make a
good paper. If it did they would
encourage and appreciate the pro
moters more in their strenuous ef
forts to publish a readable paper.
A good, clean newspaper, edited
by a sincere aud reliable editor, is
one of the most potent factors in
building up a towu and in better
ing a community.

Our oil mill is doing good work
-800 gallons of oil within 24 hours
is a common yield. Being within
a mile of town, in lieu of a park,
it is a favorite rendezvous for all.
A peep into the future discloses:
a refinery, pure olive oil from Cal

fresh nenneBsee butter, or Goshen,

The New Century cl ab met at
i deuce of Mrs. Goode Mob

paper on "The hustle and hurry of
every-day-life," by Mrs. Lewis, was
followed by reading, music and
current events.
Two negro boys found (?) a tor
pedo, and proceodod to enact the

painful than enjoyable.
The display of embroidery in

value amounted to several hund

Mri. Pechman is teaching
large class, and twice a week you
will find maidens and matrons
busily plying the needle. Some
bending over dainty laces, while
others are rivaling nature in trans

and even straw berries.

Potatoes, peas and tomatoes have

Dear APVERTISER : We are hav

some for summer, for I expect that
we will need it. Several cows
have been drowned during the high

Mr. W. S. Middleton lost his

Mrs. M. J. Tillman is visiting

Our school continues to improve

Editor ADVERTISER: Notwith
standing today is an ideal one the
frogs are still hollering, which fort
telle more rain. It makeb a poor
farmer sigh to think how badly he
needed rain last summer and how
much he may need it this summer.
Those who had' expected to sow
spring oats aro sadly disappointed.
Not a single fuirowhas been run
and only a few farmers have haul
ed any guano. Eight or ten railes
of mud-hole between the farmers
aud the warehouse will make this
au herculean job. And to- tuink
that we have sent sufficient labor
to the penitentiary during the last
quarter of a century to have graded
a thousaud miles of road, makes
us wonder at our stupidity. To my
mind it is questionable as to wheth
er we need a state penitentiary.
Why not each county take oharge
of, and utilize her own convicts ?
We are antagonistic to centraliza
tion, yet all of the different coun
ties are centralizing everything in
the State government. *The argu
ment made bv the "powers that be"
is that we have spent too much
money in stone buildings, walls,
land and machinery, (arming im
plements and mules, to throw it
all away. This same argument wau
made 25 years ago.io regard to the
Columbia oanal.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
of poor people's money-one-horse
farmers whose wives struggled
along with their husbands agaiust
adversities that are ever present, in
the battle of life. Hundruds of
convicts toiledjyears and years un
der the lash and many cruelties to
dig that big ditch around Colum
bia. Did it not in the end become
an elephant on the State ? Did not
Columbia give it to some northern
capitalists on account of its mag
nitude a:id her inability to handle
it? If any poor devil in Edge?elH
c * ty ba8ever got enough out i
it to buy a paper of safety pins or
a bottle of 1st X dispensary liquor
he is now afforded an opportuuity
of telling how much he bas made in
the investment. But "enough, no
more".
The next reform movement will
undo much and correct many grie
vances, make roads iustead ot ca
uals, wean many sucklings, permit
a gentleman (who hasn't gloves)
to carry his bands in his pockets,
and puuibh murderers as well as
robbers. W. D. 0.
PARKSYILLE.
Dear ADVERTISER: We have had
two or three days of good weather
now aud we are glad to see it. We
aro especially glad that today is
good, because Miss Sallie Parks is
going to have a Valentine party
tonight, and we all want to go.
Coi. Ansel, of Greenville came
down to McCormick on business
and he said that as he had never
visited Parksville he paid us a fly
ing trip. We were glad to see him

the near future.
Miss Lula Harvley is visiting
her sister, Mrs. J. M. Marsh.
Miss Nina Jennings, who has
been visiting her sister, Mrs.
W. Sanders, returned to her home
in Greenwood today.
Miss Jo Harmon has been visit

The wife of "West-Side/' Mrs
J, T. Miller, and daughter, Miss

Mrs. Lillie Mackelroy.and chi!

Miss Carrie Talbert, our assist
ant teacher, went to McCormick
last night to attend a Valentine
party.
We think from Mr. J. B. Nel
ion's frequent visits to McCormick
that there must be rare attractions
up there for him. We wish him
much success.
Miss Alia Blackwell has been on
a visit to relatives at Plum Branch
this week, but returned yesterday
to attend the Valentine party at
Miss Sallie Parks'.
I have heard that Judge Luther
Bell, of the Red Hill section, is
clearing a new ground and that he
stops every body that passes and
tal r.s to them so he can rest.
Prof.Crim and Judge Djbey are
on another hunting expedition to
day. We hope the Professor will
have better luck today than he did
two weeks ago, for it is said that
he killed first bird that day, and
he did not shoot that, but knocked
it on the head with his guu. We
think probably that bird was sick.
Wonder what bas become of
.Sol"? I suppose he must be stuck
in the mud, but now it is drying
)ff we hope to seo some more of his
pieces soon.
SCHOOL BOY.
Parksville, Feb. 14.
The Kindergarten.
A pennj' saved is not a peony
rained, when the saving of that
jenny is denying the little chiI
iren of Edgefield the benefits of
Kindergatren training. Great neg
igence or inexcusable tbought
esBues8 characterizes many who do
lot inform themselves concerning
he lasting benefits derived from
tttendance upon the Kindergarten
chool. Such a school, and one of
he best of them, it is the privi
ege of every parent in Edgefield
o possess. Those who have little
hildren to draw out into the high
rand batter life should ponder
hese things well. What greater
?ork has been bequeathed to man
r woman, than that of adorning
M the tender mother the body of
ter child to make it attractive and
autiful, the mind and heart of
?y little ones "fresh from
memory, at ?he same time, ani
mate the child whose raiud is the
most impressionable of all minds,
with the most beautiful thoughts,
and most ennabliug of ideals.
The song?, the stories, in fact
all, while play to the child, have
couched within them some valua
ble lessons, never to bo forgotten.
The little ouen now at the age for
these advantages, will soou be too
old to profit by them ; these little
feet will soon be tramping their
way to the school grounds, havicg
missed the preparation which the
Kindergarten affords, aud the op
portunity gone forever. Let there
be a rally around the Kindergarten
idea ami its embodiment which
exiets to such prefection in the
Kindergarten school of Edgefield.
