THE ADVERTISER,
Edgefield. S. C.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 20,1904.
The effott to increase the en
dowment of that pplendid ii.stitu
tioD, Woffoid college, by $100,000,
is a very praiseworthy one and
should succeed.
The fact that no vice-president
of the United States who became
president has ev*r been elected to
succeed himself is cousoling at
this juncture to the people of every
section of tne country.
One may not receive golden eggs
from such an enterprise, but. there
is no denying the fact that a poul
try farm, conducted in a proper
and businesslike manner, would
pay here in Edgefield. For the
past )ear or two there has been a
steady demand for chickens and
eggs at fourteen-cents-cjtton
prices. Only a small outlay would
be required to begin such a busi
ness, from which large returns
would be received.
Very few of the many latter day
authors achieve fame and fortune.
A notable exception, however, be
ing the author of "Mrs. Wiggs of
the Cabbage Patch." While prior
to two years ago Mrs. Alice Hegau
Rico-was unknown in the world of
letters, to-day she is much sought
after and the reading public de
vours with avidity the productions
of her fertile genius From her
two books and stage royalties Mrs.
Bice has received over $100,000.
At this season of the year there
is but little or no farm work to be
{lone and every white child in the
county who has attained to the
:?^age?.o? six years should be attend
:. ing school regularly. Some par
- 'enfft .fl rfifnr fp~ ' 1 "r"'
^Keenly^the ':need of an education
and the lack of it will seriously
handicap them in these days of
Bharp competition.
What ?B the matter ? Notwith
standing the fact that the amount
of taxable property in South Caro
lina has, with each succeeding
year, been increased by millione,
the amount of taxes paid by the
indiyidual has also increased.
Furthermore, in Bpite of this
increase the state has, from
year to year, fallen ?hort of funds.
, - "!* "???*".? *\ fa-t<v.ncR.rlv
naif a million dollars. There ?B
room and need for retrenchment
or better financiering.
Those dainty, diminutive pets,
canaries, have become more popu
lar and have greatly advanced iu
price since King Edward has made
a hobby of canaiy breeding. Some
of these birds sell for four times
their weight in gold, a pair bring
ing $350 recently in London. The
air is permeated with such a fever
ish desire to speculate that doubt
less canaries, along with other
commodities that are in demand,
will be listed by the "bulls and the
bears." Doesn't somebody want a
contract for "May" canaries.
Cotton is indeed king and is not
likely to be dethroned for some
years to come. Not only have the
open diOTB of the countries of the
Orient increased the demand and '
price of coarse cotton goods but
right here at home cotton fabrics
which have undergone a special ?>
treatment are supplanting the
finer weaves of wool and Bilk. A
new process has been discovered
whereby cotton cloth, after under
going chemical treatment, is made
as water proof as sheet tin, hold
ing water for days without letting
a drop through. t
The ADVERTISER furnishes its 1
readers this week with the message |
of Governor Heyward to the legis- r
lature. Both bodies of the Gen- c
eral Assembly, to the surprise of 8
everybody, got down to real busi- *
ness as soon .as they convened. r
