Your, inscription Trade. W. E. Lynch & Cc Public Cotton Weigher. It is probe ble that a cotton weigher, for the ensuing season, will be elected by popular ballot. A petition has been circulated for the necessary fifty signatures, asking the board of County Com missioners to order an election, as provided by law for the purpose of electing a public cotton weigh er for the town of Edgefield. Al though this is a very hard position to fill it is probable that there will bo several candidates for the place. We shall announce the date of the election, etc., should one be ordered by the board. More Houses Needed. Everybody wants to see Edge field double in population during the next few years, but how are people to come in and dwell a mong us unless they can buy or rent houses to live in? Some fam ilies are boarding now who are anxious to keep houee and there ?B not an unoccupied house in town. There are a great number of choice building lots. Now who will be the first to ereot houses the)ecu? We cannot consistently invite and urge people to came to Edgefield unless homes are pro vided for them. The demand for homes in our midst ?3 great and must he supplied. Ye men of means put your money in houses to rent. No safer investment can be fouud. Doubting Thomases Please Bead. Mr. Business Man, if you do not believe EhaljDrinter's ink, (ad vertising) paye, what do you think of this? Those who read last week's AD VERTISER will remember that we called attention to Mr, Rerasen's ' School of Typography," express ing the wonder why moro young mon and women did not learn typesetting, which affords pleasant and profitable employment. Mr. Hemsen had, within four days, six applicants who desired to leam the art of printing. Some were from our town, others from the country as far as fourteen miles Advei tisiug I rings increased publicity, iucreased publicity brings an increase of business, an iscrease of business means mooey in your pocket, Mr. Business Man. Suggestions to Our "Worthy Marshals. Certain dusky damsels of the demi-monde, who apparently pre fer darkness rather than light, can be 6Qen at unseemly hours upon the streets on Saturday nights. For several years they did not dare appear upon the streets after nine o'clock, while now they can bi seen ata vexy late hour. An opportunity should be given these womeu to do necessary shopping but after a reasonable hour they should be torced to retire to their homes instead of wandering about tho streets. Not only will the white people concur in this but all splf respecting colored people, for questionable conduct on the part of certain members _of the. ruce brings the whole race into disrepute to some extent. There may be no law for it but we trust that those in authority will s'je that these promenaders will be made to get up and get. Corporate Names. It will appear to the uninformed that, as "E. M. C." stands for the Edgefield Manufacturing Compa ny and the Edgefield Mercantile Company both, we have so many business concerns and industrial enterprises that not enough names can be fouud wit'iout duplicating to some extent the corporate names. This is not yet the case. Would that it were. There are a few names that have.not been used under which many paying aud much needed enterprises^'could be incorporated, namely: Edgefield Brick Company, Edgefield Can ning Factory, Edgefield.Chair Fac tory, Edgefield Steam Laundry, Edgefield Coffin Factory, Edgefield Roller Mille, Edgefield Wood Works, Edgefield Knitting Mills, Edgefield Pants and Overall Fac tory, Etc. And wouldu't the whistles blow and the bells riug and the cash drawers jingle and tte bank accounts grow and peace and prosperity reign iu Edgefield were all these enterprises in full blast? They pay elsewhere and we believe they would pay here County Y. M, C. A. Work, Old Edgefield has had many honors heaped upon her duriug the years that have passed but none greater than that of being the birth place of county Y. M. C. A. work. Some years ago when Mr. John Lake, ably assisted by Mr. T. B. Lanham, labored so zealously and assiduously for the Y. M. C. A. in Edgefield county many deemed it impracticable. But the phenomenal success of the movement ip places where conditions wore more favorable have shown that the visions and plans of these young Christian workers were not day dreams; on the contrary, so practicable were they that tue work of organizing young men, those of the rural dis tricts as well of the towns, for Christian service is destined to become world-wide. In Kentucky lhere are fifty-five young men de voting their time to the y. M. C. A. Eight county associations ftave beep organized anc] are in a very prosperous oondition, while plans have been Jaid for the prose cution of work in several other counties iu the state. Six othei states h ve also undertaken county Y.M.C.A. work under very fa vorable auppices. And, this, all ol this, think of it, had never been but for the work done right here ?L Edgefield years ago ty y tp.qse be loved boy?, ?Jojui "Hake and Torr Lanham.

Almost every week the passing away of one or more pilgrims is recorded in our columus, and these chronicles aro milestones on our journey to remind us of our ravid passage to another country.

For many years Mrs. Moss lived near our town at the old Moss place, her husband having depart ed this life while her children were yet young. After the marriage of her eldfist daughter to Mr. James D.
