Carolina has no room to talk.-Augusta Chronicle. "Ain't dat de truf", to use the language of our faithful old pressman. Twentieth century ingenui ty has invented a bullet proof vest, adapted especially^ for the use of policemen. Now, if some one wants a free pass to Elysium, let him invent a vest the pockets of which cannot be picked-a pick pocket-proof garment-adapt ed especially for politicians and other monied men. For some months the editor has of necessity devoted much time to other interests'that re quired his attention. In the .future, however, more atten tion will be given to the AD VERTISER,making of it a paper whose standard of excellence will comport with the prestige that it has won during the sixty eight years of its exis tence. For several months we have contemplated mak ing certain changes that will greatly improve the paper and before many more weeks we hope to have our arrang ments perfected. Great Scott, what a calam ity ! South Carolina is about to be put out of business. How will the children be ed ucated when the dispensary profits are cut off? The rul er of the nether world, who "deviseth wicked devices" eight cents per gallon, if this be true, good-bye corn, good-bye cotton, good-bye __j??sjjen-sary- The face of the earth will be planted in sor ghum, and who would buy the "chemically" pure at one dollar per quart when the Si mon pure can be made under one's own vine and fig tree for the price of a postage stamp? The grist mills and gins will be beaten into cane mills and "stills," and, as the mud-sill of ou reform of gov ernment is majority rule/ the majority would plant cane and run "stills" in spite of the opposing minority. South Carolina had better purchase all of tlie cane seed at once in order to continue the mo nopoly in the liquor business. 'GREEDY, ARRANT RASCALS/' Instead of standing for Grand Army of the Repub lic, G. A. R. should stand for Greedy, Arrant Rascals. Notwithstanding the fact that they are now paid over $140, 000,000 annually from the national treasury-much of which is paid by the Confed erate veterans themselves-at the encampment of the Union veterans last week they adopt ed resolutions asking for more pensions. Whynot turn the keys of the treasury over to the Greedy, Arrant Rascals, thousands of whom never saw j a battlefield in their lives?|c They might as well be allow ed to loot Uncle Sam's coffers openly and above board as to do it through perjury and fraud with the Republican partv as particeps criminis. THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK FROM EDGEFIELD. The EDGEFIELDADVERTIS B*, one of the brighrest Car olina exchanges coming to the Herald office is out in the right kind of talk. Speaking of prospects the ADVERTISER says : "The farmore aro feeling good the bankers are feeling good, and the loafers, ?00, are feeling good over the prospect. There will be something doing iu Edgoiield this fall. It is quite probable ihat a greater volume of business will bi1 done in Edgefield than for many years before. Our town is on thi eve of a boom, au era of prosperity the like of which has rever been F ai k ai C 8? W L qt ed ie se Pl wi lai re? in he ed rie lot iof St' 13a tb( Sti i bu att oui sei i ten ka, I as seen before ia its history. This, boo. not because of broad-minded, wide-awake, public-spirited men, but in spite o? their indifference. Who could measure the possibili ties of Edgefield's future were her citizens to arouse from their leth argy and put their shoulders to the wheels?" This is the kind of talk that the times demand in the south and it will arouse our people to the great opportun ities -now offered on every hand.-Augusta Herald. - We are very grateful to our esteemed contemporary for these words of encourage ment. They inspire us to put forth greater efforts for j the material development of our town and county, to the end~that they may become as potent factors in the indus trial and commercial world as in the political. - FERTILIZERS -TnT;iv FACTS AND FIGURES. Often do we hear people com plain, and not without cause, of the heavy taxes that are levied for governmental purposes. While the payment of these taxes is as gall ing as their collection is certain, yet the s^uth^rn farmers volunta rily incur a debt that is very heavy and which is not easily paid-the fertilizer debt. So great is the quantity of fertilizers used annual ly, that one's mind can scarcely comprehend the figures. The Vir ginia-Carolina Chemical company alone, according to its annual state ment just issued, sold, for the year ending June 15th, 982,000 tone, be ?iug 9.820,000 sacks. This one com pany, not to mention the dozens of others, sold nearly a sack of guano to every bale of cotte n that will be made in thecottou belt this year. The fertilizer tax of twenty five cents per ton, which is paid indi rectly by the farme: 8,*will amount to $100.000 in this state this year/j Does not the toregoingshow that the fertilizer debts in the aggregate weigh heavily upon the farmers? Do not misunderstand us. We do not oppose the use of commercial fertilizers; on the contrary, we rather favor their/ judicious use. To use guano exclusively, howev er, as many do, is not a judicious use of it. In earlier years guano was U6ed as a secondary or supple mentary fertilizer, barn yard ma nure being us das a primary fertili zer. The opposite is the case to day. Increasing the fertility of the land, as well as to feed the i?ougnrim"?V?ij rn~? t land ?u which guano alone is used year after year becomes less aud less productive, while with the use of vegetable matter and other ma nures, supplemented with guano, the land increases in fertility. Tnere would now be fewer acres of worn out aud abandon?d lands in our county had MORE HOME MADE and less FACTORY-MADE fertilizers been used thereon throughout the years. Not ouly are returns satisfactory and results more lasting from the liberal ap plication of barn yard manures but ils cheapness should be con sidered. In the early fall let the HOME fertilizer factories be put in o; eration, then, next year the FOREIGN factories will not sell heir millions of tons of guano and :he farmers will be happier am wealthier.

The Farmers' Club organized a week or two ago is growing in fa vor and farmers apply for admis sion at every meeting. CLARK'S HILL Heavy rains at this place have made cotton take on a growth, though, for haying they have been detrimental. Our pastor, Rev. P. B. Lauham, assisted by Rev. Mr. Seago, has just closed a protracted meeting at this place. Rev. Mr. Seago impressed all as a man of marked spirituality and earuestness of purpose. While there were no ad ditions to the membership of the church, we believe the mee'ing was very beneficial as a revival in lethargy fiom church work. Messrs W. 0. and R. L. Scott, accompanied by their sister, Miss Caddie, are visiting and church go iug iu the Hardy's neighborhood. Miss Parks, of ^Augusta, has been with Mrs* H. E. Bunch at Cactus Hedge. Miss Irene Griffin is vieting ber aunt, Mrs. P.C. Middleton. Our beloved Sunday school teacher, Dr. S, G. Meriwether is ill with fever.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born ? afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the' urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized, lt is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell- Homo of Srnrap-Boot ing all fc'uout it. including many ol the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured.
