Georgia's legislature must
be largely composed of own
ers of cotton mill stock. 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.

- 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. The people have paid
pretty dear for some experi
ence along that line down in j
these parts.

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

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.

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.

Gentlemen :-I began to Buffer from

had ic very bad in my limbs. At times
I could hardly walk. Was treated by
a physic i un without bone !) t. More than
a year ago. Mr. George Wilson, an engi
neer on the CoaGt Line, living in Flor

cured him. I got a bottle and it be ne

now as well as I evej: was in my lite.
I regard "RUKUIMCIDE" as a great
medicine. I know of others it has
