WEDNESDAY. APRIL 15, 1903.
NOTWITHSTANDING
the fact that our banks
have, according to the recent
ly published statements, com
bined deposits of over $225,
000-nearly a quarter of a
million-there is not a wheel
being turned in Edgefield by
Edgefield capital. With the
above sum as a nucleus or
bonus, .industrial enterprises
involving the investment of
million dollars could be es
ablished. We confidently
believe that this could be ac
complished if our business
men would be up and doing,
laboring with one accord to
that end. As there is no po
litical campaign this ) ear let
us inaugurate a campaign for
the material upbuilding ot our
town and county. What ben
efits one must of necessity
benefit the other.
THE following from The
State shows that Edge
field is not alone in the belief
that it pays to invest money
in school property :
"The disposition of South Caro
lina towns to vote upou themselves
jtpecial taxes .'or school purposes
is a healthy indication. Ander
fiou has by a vote of 147 to 40 vo
ted to issue $15,000 worth of bonds
for a school building. Hamberg by
a vote of 109 to 28 has decided to
rarBe in the same way $10,000 for
a new schooljbuldingaud the trus
tees of the Greenville schools have
started a proposition of 1 he same
sort in the Mountain City. This
is the spirit which means educa
tion."
Be it said to the credit of
Edgefield that her school
bonds were carried by a un
animous vote and pur people
are growing restless on ac
count of the suspense, and
delay in erecting the building,
that has been caused by the
tardiness of the Supreme court
in filing an opinion in the bond
case , that was argued three
ionths ago. Every citizen
'wants to see
work begin, which cannot be
done till the opinion is render
ed.

The base ball "craze" has begun,

stood pealing an apple. A day or
two since we uoticed another death
of a boy from bfing struck by a
ball. '?Ve often see broken fingers
and teeth knocked out, and hear of
profanity and even fights at these

good, elevatiug or even instruc

see it and ask to be enlightened.

and was confinad to my bod for fire
weeks. During the time I was treated
by two Physicians without permanent
relief? Capt. Harker, a conductor on

condition and sent me two bottles of
" RHEUM ACIDE." I began to take it
and in a week I got up and walked on
crutches. After taking three bottles of
the remedy I got entirely wall and
