Such playE ?8 "Farmer Hopkins" always at r?ete a larg?? crowd and the best ?eats will be engaged early. At intervals during the past fear there has been a c >tton ex change at Johnston, and ourregu ar correspondent nt that place orites: ''We are sorry to note hat Edgefield is to have a-cot ton jxchange, as it ie gambling pure md simple its demoralizing in 3ueiij e will be felt long after it ie closed". Prof. David S. L. Johnson who s a very skilled musician, un ierstandfng thoroughly the theory >f this the most difficult of all he arts, will deliver a free lec kre in the college auditorium on Friday evening next "at eight >'clock. All i-f Edgefield'e musi cians and lovers of music should ind doubtless will go to hear Prof. Johnson. Frank S. Davidson was well re-1 jeived when he visited Edgefield several years ago, and his troupe aaa been greatly strengthened mice then. Mr. John Thompson, ivho gave an entertainment in tho >pera house on Friday evening ast, voluntarily Jold Mr. May hat he had seen "Old Farmer Hopkins" recently and that if tvas just fire times as good as it ?vaB several years ago. Doyouueod a good warm win ter suit for your boy? We will astonish you at the way we are cutting prices on them. C. E. MAY. The greatest attraction that has appeared iu the Edgefield opera house iu years will be "Old Farm er Hopkins". It will be pre3entdd by a troupe of fifteen very skilled artists, and what will make it more attractive will be the ele gant stage fittings that are pro vided by the troupe for this spe cial play. We have kuown EdgefUldiaiig to pay railroad fare, and hotel bill, in addition to high priced tickets, in going to Columbia or Augusta to witness plays that were not one whit better than "OM Farmer Hopkius" will be. Don't* thiuk that this play is not first class because it wi li be pi ese n ted at home. The pleasure to be derived from seeing "Old Farmer Hop kins" will be worth to you ten imes the cost of the ticket. th aud breadth a man who is iiuess acumen to a ?.? degree, was elected of the Farmen and ants Bank of Greenwood week. j.? ia bis wont at thia season MY. H. M. Keaney came up from Xiigusta last week and went out on a huntiog expedition, spend in? several days wiih his friends iD Edenfield. Mr. Kearsey is con templating moving back to Edge geld and making the town of his nativity his future home. In reporting the pubhc sales ]g.st week we inadvertently ornit t0d that of theJDeVore land which wao bid in by Mr. W. L. Daniel, tne executor of the estate of the Itite Mrs. Adeline Devore. This ls ! ai valuable tract of land which is gituated on tbe Ninety Six road gaven miles' north of Edgofield, containing 240 acres. j A teacher (not au Edgefield teacher, however) told a little jjirl to write a sentence contain ing tbe expression "the bitter end", jlnd thia ie what a moment later r'net the gaze of the astonished teacher: "A big dog chased my cat, aud ag she went under the porch he bit her end'*. Which was more truth thau sentimeut. -Ex. Frank S. Davidsou, with a se lect company, will play "Old Farmer Hopkins in the opera house on Thursday night thf 12th. The Spartanburg Herald says of the play: "Tho Frank S. David eon company appeared last night to a large audience, and without a doubc the most delighted one that has ever assembled in Spar tan burg." Mrs. Susan B. Hill has 'moved into the very desirable bouse ou Main street where Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Holstein have resided, having purchased i' from them several weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Holstein are boarding with Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Taylor until they can move into' the handsom i Penn residence, which ia at preseut occupied by Mr. and Aire. J. Berrien Walker. The statistics of the Cens?a Bureau show that there are sev eral millions more males than fe males in the United States. This will be sad intelligence to some of the girls who allowed the oppor tunities of leap year to pass un improved, there being not enough men now to go arouud. The Mor mon brother ie very considerate in taking more than one helpmeet under his protecting arm. The marriage of Gen. M. C. Butler which tor some time bas been one of the chief topics of conversation in Edgefield'a social circles will occur in i New York pu the 14th inst. He will be [married to Mrs. Chares Whitman [who is a descendant of a very cultured and distinguished old Maryland family. Geu. Butler has purchased a very handsome resi dence in North Augusta where they will make their future home.

Purchase a large farm beti and make the welkin ring round about your plautatiou and neigh borhood early these cold morn ings. The Edgefield Mercantilf Company has just received a large shipment of farm bells that will be mai ked at very reasonable {?rices. Of all the odd and curious packages that swelled the volume of mail at the Christmas season the most curious was held .up by the post-master at Aiken- In can celling the stamps preparatory to sending off the mails it was observed that a rabbit's foot was piotrudiug from a singularly Bhaped package. Upon examina tion it was found to contain a rabbit and six quails, noue ol which was dressed. It is needless to add thai the package was re turned to the sender in short or der. So far as our information goes the heaviest yield of cotton from one acre of laud for the year just ended waa in Spartanburg coun ty. The First National Bank of Spartanburg offered $100 in gold for th? largest yi.ild of seed cot ton from one acre of land. There were fourteen contestants, the gold being won by Mr. C. A. Murph who made 42S4 pounds of seed cotton from ao acre. The next highest gathered 3422 pounds and the lowest picked 1935 pounds of the fleecy staple from an acre. One often hears of the marvel lous results obtained from the fertile lauds of Texas and the w-st but the above figures show what things are possible right here in tbe old Palmetto state. The officials in all of the banks in the state are not aa accommo dating as are the bauk officers in Edgefield. Here the}- obaerve no iron-bound rulea as to what hours busiuess shall be transacted. Thia the public fhould appreciate. Only a few days ago we saw a joiut notice that was published by the Newberry banks stating that hereafter the banks would close at tbreo o'clock and that posi tively no,busiuesj would be trans acted after that hour. It means a great deal of ?unoyance and extra work for the officers for persous] to call at a bank for the purpose j of transacting busiuess after three o'clock-thc hour adopted by all banks for balancing the work of the day. ?* William H. Niel who was awarded ihe^Hc'-? t0 survey the county began*?|the Saluda line bright and early pu Monday morning. Unless some untoward circumstance occurs to retard his progress the exact area of the remainder of old Edgefield will soon be knowu. A t this season of the year many persons, both residents of towus and country, plead cold weather and muddy walks and roads as an excuse for Lot atteudingdivine services on the Sabbath day, for getting thai those Ihings which cause discomfiture are not infre quently blessings in themselves. The slush and mud are indications that the earth's cisterns and re servoirs are being refilled, and the cold destroys the disease germs that are lurking ic the pathway of unsuspecting ones. Many in Edgefield eat by their firesides and did not attend pub lic services on Sunday morning last, while Mr. and Mrs- Henry Wi; Dobey drove five miles to en I joy the privilege . of attending church. Those who are needing horses and mules should r?ad the ad vertisement of Messrs. B. L. Jones k& Sou - which appears in this iasue. They have on hand a large supply of stock that they bought in the northwest. They selected from the farms and country districts where horses are raised for the market, and wore not bought from stock-deal ers. By buying from the stock raisers direct Messrs. B. L. Jonee & Sou not only get better stock but save their patrons the middleman's profit. The Jones stablei was never better supplied with stock than it is right now, and before the present supply is exhausted' another trip will be made to the northwest for inore. ( Mr. B. L. Jones has had large experience in the stock business, and Dr. W. Luther Jones being a veterinary surgeon enables chem to purchase wissly. Changes io Schedules. Certain changes in schedules on the main line of the Southern, which went intj effect on Monday last, necessitated the following chauges on the Ga]) road: The midday train which departed heretofore at 1: 30 p. m. and ar rived at 5 p. m. leaves now at 1:15 aud arrives at 5:20. The late afternoon train arrives at 7:20 p. m. instead of 7:15. The early morning train will leave at 7:45 instead of 7:50 as heretofore. A person going to Augusta for the day leaves that city on return ing at 3:55 p. m. instead of <:30 as formerly. Lock Your Garden Gates. Not only must one lock the corn crib, "smoke houje" and pautry now-a-days but it seems j that tee height of the garden) fence must be increased, the pick ets made sharper and the gate locked securely to keep those in dividuals out who in their weak uses are given to appropriating to their own use that which be longs to others. We have heard that depredations were made upon a nearby garden a few nights ago j and twenty-one long-legged Geor gia collards were carried off bodi ly Who would think of steuliug collards ! True they are delight ful at this seasou when the frost *?rft?ftr?8 upon their leaves and icicles allortWbeno as_ so many crystals, yet we thought o??iP.?d? had no charms for the nocturnal visitor. Lock your gardon gates or your long-legged Georgia col lards will wulk off some o' these dark nights- and you know the\ say "hard times" are com in' back ugain. "When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. 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. Scotts Emulsion is simply > milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally oecause they like the taste md the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be :ause it is so perfectly adapted NJ their wants. Fur all weak and pale and :hi:i children Scott's Emulsion s thc most satisfactory treat .nent. We will send you the penny, /. c., a sample free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle ot Emulsion you buy. 5C0TT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.

We respectfully request and urge the citizens generally, and especially the cotton growers, to assemble in mass meeting on Monday, January 16th, at Edge field to decusa matters pertain ing to the agricultural interests, particularly the cottou situation. It is very important at this junct ure that the farmers of thia coun ty and the south generally look to the protection of their inter ests by acting in concert. Farm ers ol' Edgefield county, heed this call and attend the maaa meeting to be held at Edgefield on Mon day next. S. T. Williams, T>. B. Hollingsworth, CH. B. Williams, Jobu M. Mays, Sam B. Mays, M.

Fourteen Dollars an acre for Fer ti?zers. . Mr. W. T. Walton who easily standw at tho head of the column of the farmers of Edgefield couu ty not only believes in heavy fer tilization but has proven by suc cessful practice frem year to year that a generous use-at the same time a wise use-of commercial fertilizers pays. He bas two and a half acree of oate under which be put 1800 pounds of high grade (8-4-4) guano. Mr. Walton will apply 1000 pounds of tho best guano obtainable, costing $28 per toD, under every acre of cot ton to be planted in bis wages crop this year. This of course can only be done upon lands that are in a very high state of cultivation. Ureat is the pity that many others do not farm upon the Walton sys tem. Were they to do so the acre age could be BO reduced that the my of scarcity of labor would no longer be heard. Au Example Worthy of Emula tion. . Not only did the lamented Wil liam H. Cogbnrn, who recently joined the heavenly boat, set and live up to a high"Btaudard of citi zenship, but he aleo set a worthy example of economy, industry and thoughtfulness by providing amply for the members of his household while with them in thp flesh and by having an eye to their weil being after he had been takan from them. Mr. Cogburn made sacrifices to carry life in surance which is now substantial comfort and aid to the loved ones left behind. Ho waa a member of the Johnston lodge of the Knights of Honor in which ordar his life waa injured for $2000, also for $1000 in the New York Lifo ' In surance company. We call atter tion to this in the hope that it will stimulate or encourage some one else, upon whom little chil dren are dependent, to inBure their lives. The writer bas-nei ther directly nor indirectly-any interest in an insurance agency but is an advocate of life insur ance for the effuse of humanity, if you please. What Mr. Cogburn has done for bis family other men can do. Furthermore you do not bave to wait till death to receive aid from insurance. If the poli cy ?B in au "oid line company" it can Oe taken to a bank when the "rainy day" comes and the bank will advance money on it.
