WEDNESDAY. MAY 6, 1903.
COLUMBIA had four mar
riac-es during one day
last week and Augusta seven
divorces. Should this be kept
up long, all of the -people in
Columbia will be married and
all of those in Augusta un
married.
ROOSEVELT seems to be
enjoying his 6o days
tour of the west. So are we
of the south t The farther
removed he is from us the
better we like him and doubt
less were he to take up his
abode on St. Helena or Pat
mos we would learn to think
very kindly of him.
WONDERS never cease.
The board of Super
intendents of New York's
schools has taken "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" from the school
libraries. It has required 40
years for them to find out
what the Southern people dis
covered in 40 days-that the
book is unworthy of a place
in any librar}*.
JOHNSTON.
Happenings of Interest from Our
Neighboring Town,
Tho Methodist Missionary Dis
trict conference of this place will
long be remembered as a very
pleasant reunion of the various
churches. All churches were rep
resented by most charming wom
. on. Many visitors attended the
meetings. *Oui own Mrs. Ivey in
a most excellent way delivered the
address of welcome. Mrs.Humbert,
a tall, stately youthful looking wo
man with snowy hair, conducted
the meetings in a forcible manner.
Miss Sanders, just three weeks
from China, charmed every one by
hereusy, graceful demeanor. Mrs.
Ed Strother and Miss Lizzie Bates,
of Batesburg, are too well known,
and beloved to need any assur
ance of the warm welcome that
awaits them at all times at this
"place. All visitors received a cor
rdial welcome? arjL^ the acception'
given them at the residence of Mr.
D. T. Ouzts was a success in ev
ery respect. The mingling together
of missionary women from all
churches was enjoyed to the ut
most. The three ministers and jur
worthy host seemed a little bit
lost in such a bevy of fair women.
Dainty refreshments were served
by lovely girls, and all seemed
loath to leave even after the limit
had passed.
There will be a District confer
ence of the W. C. T. U. at this
place in the near future, and we
hope the same enthusiasm may
prevail, as temperance work is
home missionary work in its truest
sense.
Mr. Alvin Etheredge visited our
town during the week.
Mr. and Mrs. James Long and
their lovely little baby spent Sat
urday hero with relatives, and the
>; treat of fish was enjoyed inexpres
sibly.
The oil mill has closed its sea
son's grind in a most satisfactory
way to the stockholders. Consid
erable improvements will be made
during the- summer months and
next seed season bids fair to be an
. improvement upon the ono just
passed.
* CLARI'S HILL.
Dear ADVERTISER : News is
very abundant this week, but I
fear that I am too sleepy just now
to jot it down as I would like to.
Very little planting has been
done here as yet, being delayed
by the cold, but the weather is
much warmer now, so farmers will
be quite busy this week.
Peaches are now safe from the
cold. There will be more than
.was at first expected-about three
fourths of a crop. %
Our telegraph operator, Mr. J.T.
Dowling, left last week to accept
a position at his old home, Hamp
ton. We regretted very much to
see him leavo. His place here has
been filled by Mr. Arthur Town
send, of Iva.
Our school entertainment was
quite a succese. A very large
__jcrowd attended, Edgefield, Sumter,
Modoc, Morgana and other towns
being represented. Our handsome
County Superintendent of Educa
tion Wm. A. Byrd, of Edgefield.
gave a very eloquent address,which
was enjoyed by all.
We are going to have our school
library.
Mrs". R. C. Boyd, of th* "Fork '
section, is visiting at the home of
her sister, Mrs. R. H. Scott, on
Cheviot bill.
Dr. J. H. Hayneswortb.of Sum
ter, is visiting at the home of Capt.
J.A.Butler.
Miases Irene Scott, and Carrie
Morgan, of toe "Fork" ^section,
visited relatives and friends here
last week.
Mr. Tbeo. Price of Aiken, visit
ed at Capt. J. A. Butler's la6t week.
It seems we are going to lose
8-jme of our charming young ladies
soon. It is very easy to give up
old bachelor, but my, we can't
give up our girls. Some of the
boys here are quite jea'ousof thoir
visiting rivals.
Wei?, ''Sol", one of our oldest
bachelors has left us and has taken
uuto himself a*wife. More will
follow his good example soon, I
think.
I ara tired and sleepy too EO I
will ring off.

DOESN'T RESPECT OLD AGE.
It'e shameful when youth fails to
show proper respect for old age,
but just the contrary in the case of
Dr. King's New Lif- Pills. They
cut off maladies no matter how se

Our "city fathers" have had the
cemetery beautifully cleaned off
by removing the leaves, grass,
weeds, bushes, etc,. We would
remind them that just one other
thing is needed, i. e. the rebuild

flat as were the walls of Jericho.

of medicines, none of which reliev

There is scarcely a man who, in his imagination, can not
see the billowy waves oi?r? golden harvest field and the
name of his favorite bidder as it movfs through the yellow

be a name that stand^lor something tangible-a name that
that has stood the test of time-that has triumphed in every
grain field^-nat has always represented tbe highest atUin
jneHt-iri the manufacture of harvesting machines-that sat
