Af ter a long and heated- debate the child labor bill, similar to the one now in force in South Carolina, was defeated in the House. This is not an in stance of "man's inhumanity to man" but of man's inhu manity to children. OF the many causes as signed for divorces the most unique on record is that of an Indiana woman who asks for a divorce on the ground that her hnsband, in spite of her ex postulations, persists in sleep ing in h''s boots. Even South Carolina ought to grant di vorces in such cases, where men would rather part with their wives than their-boots. to? I - The Abbeville Press and Banner says: "Teddy is a disturber of the peace and should be muzzled". Yes, the nation's chief executive sowed to the wind some months ago when he was os tensibly befriending the color ed race and now those whom he pretended to befriend are reaping the whirlwind. The columns of the daily papers are filled with accounts of race riots, lynchings, burn ings at the stake, etcetera. On Friday the town of Sa luda will vote on the question of subscribing $12,000 in bonds to the Johnston, Salu da, Greenwood and Ander son railroad company. If this amount will secure the road We have one word of r^atui tous advice, however, co "offer to Salu^aJU_Aat_isJJ)e sure you ^""^-get-the road before the con . tractors or promoters get the bonds. The people have paid pretty dear for some experi ence along that line down in j these parts. CO? Absolute prohibition may be an ideal condition-one that may not be realized in this day and generation-yet it is a fact that laws curtailing the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors are being enacted and enforced as nev er before. That this is possi ble is indicative of a change of sentiment in favor of pro hibition, which change has been wrought by line upon line and precept'upon precept. A law has recently become effective in North Carolina that prohibits the establish ment and operation of distil leries outside of incorporated towns. This is a step in the .ight direction. At the annual meeting of the State Press Association, which was held at White Stone Springs last week, the following resolutions upon the death of Mr. Thomas J. Ad ams, who for thirty years was editor and proprietor of th< ADVERTISER, were unani mously adopted : Whereas, since the annual ses eion of this association Almighty . God in His wisdom permitted th< death of Thos. J. Adams, of th EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER, a veterai in the ranks of South Carolin: journalism ; and therefore bo it Resolved, That while we bow ii submission to the will of God, wt the editors of South Carolina, fee keenly the loss of this distinguish ed writer who for more than score of years exerted a noble ii] fluenco in his community an throughout the state. Althoug ho was not an active member c this association, we feel that it i our duty to place ourselves o record Jas folly appreciating hi worth to his community and t our profession.

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. | This is distinctly and dis tinctively an age of money getting, money lending and money spending. Before the shrine of the almighty dollar every knee is bended. Gold is the common goal of all and yet there comes a time in the life of every one when the folly of what might be called a misspent life is evident. It is recorded of Cornelius Van derbilt that bet?re he died he said to a friend : "I don't see what good it doei me-all this money that you say is mine. I can't eat it; I can't spend it; in fact, I never saw it and neyer had it in my hands for a moment-. I dress no better than my private secretary and cannot eat as much as my coachman. I live in a big servants' boarding house, am bothered to death by beggars, have dyspepsia, cannot drink champagne, and most of my money is in the hands of others, who ase it mainly for their ewn benefit." A SOUTH CAROLINA EXHIBIT. In spite of the avowed op position of some and the in difference of many, it is pro bable that South Carolina will yet have an exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. Gov. Heyward has appointed a commission, composed of two representative citizens from each congressional dis trict, which will meet in Co lumbia tomorrow to discuss plans for providing an exhibit. We believe the next legis latu.e should and will make a suitable appropriation for a I state exhibit. And why not ? A reasonable sum invested in such an exhibit would yield large returns. What better way can we increase the 1 amount of our taxable prop erty, thereby reducing the levy, than by inducing north ern and eastern capitalists to invest their millions within our borders ? Can we ever reclaim and repeople the thousands of acres of waste and practically deserted lands unless it be done by attract ing the white settlers who are seeking homes in the south ? A creditable exhibit that will advertise South Car olina's advantages and re sources will contribute large ly to the accomplishment of this. T/ATXXTCini/'VTVT_i Happenings of Interest from Our Neighboring Town, Between this place and Augusta the view from the car window dis closed more corn planted than usu al, and it looks well. The cotton looks sorry, very small and not in as flourishing condition as it usu ally is at this season. North Augusta is a rapidi-y growing resort. The new hotel was a success, and its capacity un equal to the demand made upon it as a ?winter resort, a considera ble addition is contemplated. On Wednesday last at nine o'clock p. m. Mr.JJack Lott and Miss Fannie Courtney were united iu marriage, Rev. P. B. Grant of ficating. It was a veryqmietaffair, only a few guests being invited. Mr. and Mrs. Lott, both possess many warm friends who wish them every happiness that divine provi dence bestows. We beg leave to differ with "East Side" correspondent in Edgefiuld Chionicle in ragard to the peach crop. We have had belter prices and realized more from peaches than ever before, notwithstanding the fact, that a greater number rotted and the occasional delay in transportation and short crop. It is a self evident fact that a neg lected orchard, or any thing else yieldB poor returns. On the othei hand if you cultivate your trees prune them, keep them free fron barers, fertilize them and thin oui the peaches, you are sure fr> be amply rewarded. Gardens are fine, a number 0 cabbage are being shipped fron this place, and very good pricei realized.
