TALK for and WORK for
GREATER EDGEFIELD.
The college building which
was so long a castle in the
air has at last been landed.
"Pick the pocket of a pro
fessional politician aud you
get a bunch or free passes."
-Carolina Spartan.

The Kansas woman who
has been wearing a bustle
with $7,500.00 stored a
way in it had more dollars
than sense.
Any one knowing the
whereabouts of a depot that
can be bought, begged or
borrowed will please notify
Edgefield, the depotless town.
Her need for such a piece of 1
property is great.
Wm. J. Bryan has recently
purchased a pair o? very fine
horses, paying $1500 therefor.
One of them was named
Roosevelt, we'll wager,how
ever, that the other one will
not bg named Cleveland.
Three distinct eras : Prior
to the building or the railroad
it was Old Edgefield, since
the coming of the railroad it
has been New Edgefield, and
now with the building of the
college] let it be Greater
Edgefield.
A Philadelphia alchemist
claims to have discovered a
process whereby he can con
vert silver into gold. If he
will invent some means of
changiug brass into gold and
will come down in these
parts he can make a lot of
brazen fellows mighty rich.
Before cotton has "done
half its do" the speculators
and manipulators are already
. predicting a 12,000,000 bale
crop. Granting thai such a
crop will be made, when we
consider the advance all along
the line of manufactured and
unmanufactured products the
farmers should receive ten
cents for every pound of it.
That was a singularly un
fortunate, and at the same
time fortunate, mix-up in
North Carolina last week. It
was a head-on collision of an
excnrsion train loaded with
colored people and a freight
loaded with watermelons.
Being HEAD-on the human
freight was uahnrt while thc
juicy melons were scattered
and battered, provoking many
a smile from ear to ear.
The farmers are feeling
good, the merchants are feel
ing good, the bankers are
feeling good, and the loafers,
too, are feeling good over the
prospect. There will be
something doing in Edgefield
this fall. It is quite probable
that a greater volume of bus
iness will be done in Edgefield
than for many, many years
before.
Our town is on the eve of
a boom, an era of prosperity,
the like of which has never
been seen before in its histo
ry. This, too, not because
of the efforts of broad-mind
ed, r ide-awake, public-spir
ited men but in spite of their
indifference. Who could
measure the possibilities of
Edgefield's future were her
citizens to arouse from their
lethargy and put their shoul
ders to the wheel?
In many sections of the
cotton belt there are, besides
the usual causes, insects that
curtail the cotton crop. Tex
as usually has her boll weevil
and the farmers of Alabama
are now spraying to kill
worms before the worms
kill the cotton. About the
only thing that ever causes a
short crop in Carolina (Edge
field farmers excepted, of
course ) are drought and lazi
ness-lack of water and lack
of work.
The colored ministers
meet in Columbia on
25th inst, to discuss the ca
of lynching and the rem
therefor. Everybody km
the cause to be the corni
tal of certain atrocious crii
and everybody knows ?
that there is no absolute n
edy so long as certain nai
less and diabolical crimes
committed.
! Col. Geo. Bell Timn
man. a prominent yoi
member of the Lexington
who is associated with So
itor Thurmond in the prs
ice of law, and a son of ]
W. H. Timmerman, is
avowed candidate for soli
orship of the fifth circuit,
is a young man of exalt
character and, like his ill
trious father, will 'not ste
to conquer. Col. Timm
man has many friends \A
would be glad to see h
elected.
In spite of the hot wea tl
the Georgia legislators hf
been doing some very effe
ive work. A very strihgt
vagrancy law has just be
passed, which is comprehei
ive in its scope. One clai
is especially intended to rea
the fathers of families who
nothing themselves but for
their children, some of thc
of tender years, to work
the cotton mills. These u
fortunate children seldom e
joy the proceeds of their I
bor, it being squandered
brutal fathers who should
forced to don a prisonei
garb.
The number of deaths, o
curring ^Mefly among tho
who livr cities, caused 1
impure d adulterated fo<
is becoming alarmingly gre?
In some articles of food inj
rious chemicals are used
preserve them till they can 1
profitably marketed, while
others unwholesome adulte
ations are used to cheapen tl
cost of production so as
yield a greater profit to tl
seller. Blessed is the mi
who can "live at home ar
board at the same place,
supplying his table with ed
bles made by the sweat of h
own brow upon his own far
and prepared in his ow
kitchen. Though uncrownc
he lives as a prince.
Just as the county an
state summer schools fe
teachers have increased th
interest in the^ cause of edi
eaton, so have the farmer!
institutes caused the farmei
to become more intereste
over their work. The insti
tute held at Clemson lai
week was the largest an
most profitable gathering c
farmers ever held in this stat?
What is most needed now i
the organization of a farmer
club in every community s
the rank and file can come tc
gether and discuss such thing
as seem to them best. Let'
have a club in every town
ship in the county. An<
cursed be he who attempt
to inject politics into them
The farmers near Johnstoi
have already organized
Who'll be next?
???.?
Canning factories in man}
towns over the state are run
ning full time and selling
their products of fruits anc
vegetables at prices that yield
profitable returns. Edgefield
could have one too if we had
just one citizen who had e
nough get-up-and-get about
him to undertake it. The
soil in this vicinity seems tc
be especially adapted to grow
ing tomatoes. Then why
thould they not be grown in
large quantities and canned
for the market? The writer
purchased several weeks
ago some tomatoes of a local
merchant that were canned, ii
we remember aright, in El
lenton, S. C. Why send
money to build up other towns
when it could be kept al
home? Tomatoes can be
canned here just as profitably
as they can at Ellenton. This
is not only true of the canning
industry, but of many others.
What about the crooked
ness and narrowness of the
street leading by the Baptist
church to the college grove?
It is nearly as crooked as is
the way of the man who is
overloaded with "fuss x"
and is almost as narrow as
some of Edgefield's public
spirited (?) men. Some
months ago something was
said of the council taking the
matter in hand and devising
ways and means of straight
ening and widening this
street which is so narrow in
places that two vehicles can
'scarcely pass each other.
Would not summer be the
best time to do this work so
the ground will become firm
before the heavy *rains of
winter? And the bridge a
cross the branch should be
widened. It is so narrow
that only sweethearts cross it
abreast. What say you, gen
tlemen of the city council?
