While some counties had several homicides during the holiday season when Bacc hanalian revelry was the order of the day in many sections, . it. should be a source of grati fication to our people that no ?hum?n life has been taken within the., borders of old Edgefield. According to an official statement from the director of the mint the total product of . gold and silver in the United "States "for the calender ye? 1903 was $74>435>34? and $30,520,680, respectively. South Carolina produced $102,57^ of gold and $145 of silver. ? It is stated that the pope, the. highest potentate of the . Catholic church, tis deeply in . t?rested in the mission work 'among tli*e southern negroes arid" that mofe pri?sts will be assigned.to this field. Should those who are commissioned -.to .d?^tbis. special work allow discouragements to discour age, it will not be prosecuted very long. -We have it from Hon. L .J..-Willims' own lips that he is a candidate for congress from this district. As Hon J. Wm. Thurmond will nol ..enter the.race, Mr. Williami will receive almost a solid vote in Edgefield county, -md the r?cord wni?h he has made since entering politics, espe cially in his management oi the dispensary, will make hirr ?ja? strong, candidate in the .other counties of the district, anniversary 01the birth of the . *devil and hot In the propel "Way as did many good Chris tian women of Charleston ..who. prepared a dinner foi . 700 poor children of the city, which was" served to them in the Masonic templ?. Making vothers glad is the way to cele brate the coming of Him whe brought glad tidings. vMuch has been . said and .--written recently looking to a change in the existing insur ance laws, which, it is claim ed, will enable the companies doing business in this state tc make a. lower rate. While ' the rates charged for fire in surance in South Carolina are excessively high, yet, accord ing to an official statement from Comptroller General Jones, they are lower thar those of any other southern state, averaging only $i.2c per hundred. The average oJ all classes of risks ma}' be low, but as a matter of fact the rate is excessively high on some classes of risks ; for instance, $3.40 per hundred on mer chandise in Edgefield and ^$2.35' on: brick buildings, xleaven pity those who carry insurance in other states if the i rates charged in South Caro lina are considered low. SILENT PARTNERS. Those who have read the address of Mayor R.' G. Rhett, of Charleston, at the banquet given by the Columbia cham ber of commerce on Wednes day last, will in future be less inclined to censure and criti cise>Charleston for the non enforcement of the dispensa ry law. He "explained some of the conditions which make it much more difficult to t.i force the law in Charleston than any of *he interior towns and cities. Mr. Rhett stated as a positive fact that consta: bles oftentimes received tri bute from the tigers, some of these officers only arresting those illicit dealers who would not pay the price of an in dulgence . What prostitution on the part of these officers ot the state ! Think of how dif ficult it would be to enforce the law here in Edgefield should tigers ply their trade in league with constables who came ostensibly to prosecute he offenders.

It often seems to work though no one has ever, told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate Storp achs. - Children take to it naturally because" they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For ..all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion 3 the most satisfactory treat ment. * ? ; We will send you the penny, /. e., a sample free.
