WEDNESDAY. FEB . 8, 1905.
The wayfaring man though a
fool can tell (hat lhere^?H more
. money in ten aerts in cotton at
ten cents than in twenty acres at
5 cents.
How can South Carolina con
sistent?y fight the fertil'zer trust,
or .any other trust, a6 for that
matter, when she formed hy en
actment and maintains a most
. iniquitous and colossal trust-the
. liquor dispensary.
The legislature has been in ses
B?OU more than three weeks and
very little has been accomplished
thuH fr.r. However, much can not
be expected as long as such coun
ties as Newberry and Anderson
elect such men as Blease and Ash
ley to seats in-the general assem
bly. _
After hearing his speeches upon
the platform last summer, many
of Senator T. Garrett Talbert's
friends were suprised to tee that
he voted against the measure in
troduced by Senator Brice, wnich
provided for voting out a dispen
sary by the people just as one is
established.
The money orders i-sued by the
government have grown somewhat
* into disfavor on account of t.be
fraud that is so frequently prac
ticed by raising the amou?ts of
the orders. Realiziug th is the pos
tal authorities have instructed the
officials of the engraving bureau to
put their beads together and de
vise a form that will be more diffi
cult of alteration after being filled ;
out by the local postmaster.
-The state of Connecticut' does
Dot owe a dollar, while South
Carolina's public debt exceeds six
millions of dollars. And instead :
of reducing this enormous sum
upon which over $300,000 is, au- :
nually paid as interest there is a '
...greater deficitJn me?ting the cur- ,
rent expenses of the state govern
ment with each succeeding year.
TVe of the Palmetto state will have
to acquire the business sagacity
\ and habits of economy of the New
England Yankees.
The agitation of the change from
jute to heavy cotton bagging is
becoming more general, and the
idea ie growing in favor. The pro
ducers vof cotton could increase
.the consumption of this commodi
by wrapping the bales in heavy
n material, weighing two
pounds to the yard, in preparing
the crop for market. By using
eighteen pounds of cotton goods to
pack a bale, a farmer who gins
twenty five bales could con turne
the equivalent of one bale of his
own crop-four hundred and fifty
pounds of cotton bagging.
Severa'l years ago hundreds of
farms ?D this county, like many
.others in the state and throughout
the south, were "mortgaged to the
hilt." Through rigid economy
and by exercising good judgment,
* together with the high "price of
"cotton,, the bwuers of these farms
have been able to liquidate these
debts, many of which were of long
standing. The ADVERTISER wishes
: to caution the people against again
'burdening themselves with debt.
The outlook for the ensuing twelve
months is not altogether reassur
ing, and the wise, prudent indi
vidual will proceed slowly in the
matter of debt making.
While the measure having for
its purpose the formation of Cal
houn county has not been voted
upon in'the legislature, it is safe
to say that the new ^county will
not be formed. Upon hearing the
arguments for and against estab
lishing the couuty, made before
the committee on privileges and
electious, the bill was unfavorably
reported, and there is now every
probability that the measure when
it comes up this week will be over
wheliringly defeated. Doubtless
the matter will now b8 d.opped
once for all, as it is impossible
under the present constitution for
Mich a county to be legally formed.
Instead of leaving Edgefield 500
square miles, as-stated by a-?reen
-?rpod purveyor who8B nicety and
hair-split tic;* Px?ctnc-88 has gath
ered about him much fame, she ?
would.in fact have only 444 square
miles afrer-200 bad been cut from
her. Neither baa Calhoun county
-the required population or. the ?
necessary amount of taxable prop
erty for the. form at i- m of a, new
?c?unty.. All is well that ends well.
Observations of a Meeting- Street
Citizen Upon the Cotton
Situation..
DEAR ADVERTISER : The cot ton
growers convention recently held
in New Orleans is like the South
Carolina.Dispcusary it is almost
too big a thing to be helpful. Of
the two thousand delegates nady
of them advertised themselves and
created some notoriety; while
others probably had a good time
but will never make auythingout
of it. And no doubt roost of them
would like for tho other fellow to
reduce the acr- age.
I am inclined to think the
Wall Street bears will not be
greatly disturbed by the actione
of the convention. The Grange
and the Alliance and every other
organization the farmers have
gone into accomplished so little
that the world hasn't much con
fidence m their "stickability."
The great trouble is they will not
"tote fair." Go into almost auy
neighborhood and some one will
say, "It's a good time to" plant a
big crop of cotton, they say they
are gwine to cut down the plautiu"
This expresses the sentiment of
others whose wisdom forbids them
Trom expressing it. I am afraid
the farmeis have lost their 'Vp''
by allowing all previous organi
zations to ruo into polities. They
have often given others an office
or good paying job and been used
as "cats paws" and got no chest
nuts either
My opinion moy be woith but
little or perhaps nothing, notwith
standing I am priviledged to ex
press it. There is going to be the
biggest effort to make cotton this
year that has been made since
Abe Lincoln put the darkies to
renting. The individual farmers
(those who work wages hands)
may reduce acroage?, but they
will double the fertilizers and in
tensify cultivation to such an ex
tant that it will more than com
pensate for reduction. And the
negro tenant will do as be has
always done, plant little but cot
tou and spread it all over crea
tion.
It is the negro tenant that
ma^es the cotton and it is easy to
explain. It is a c:op that stand
abuse.aud neglect and after al?
does ? fairly well. I make very
little cotton aud my neighbors wbo
live at. home make very little. Wt-1
can't do it and make a living, ll
I had gone to the convention 11
would have asked the convention
to pass one more resoluiion, just
one,as follows:
Resolved, that every mau.Jiving
in town or city and owning lauds
in the country, either Bell it to |
laboring white men or enclose
same with barbed wire and put J
therein some breed of beef cattle. |
The idea of meD whooping up
resolutions to reduce acreage and
at the same time renting from
500 to 10,000 acres of land to ne
groes, is to a thinking man very
inconsistent.
A bumper crop of thirteen or
fourteeii-jaiilliojia. -halan JUid-H-tA
duction in the price to 3? to 5
sents will do more towards
straightening things than any
thing I know of. It will hurtt
but that is the remedy. As long
ac men will rtnt to negroes, and
the banks furnish money the con
ditions we are now confronted
with will continue to occur, and
remunerative price forcottou will
be obtained just about a? often as
the democrats electa president.
I predict that the farmer who
fails to produce sufficient supplies
for home consumption this year
will not beable-toget to the smoke
bouse and corn crib in the west
with five cents cotton. AD? un
less some act of providence inter
vene there is where cotton will
drnu-to five cents.

Meeting Street, S. C.
Mr. and 3Irs. J, B, Haltiwanger
Celebrate Tbeir ?'China
Wedding:."
Cn February the 6th, 1885, Mr.
J. B. Haltiwanger, an honored son
of old Edgefiald's soil, led one of
Anderson's gifted and best
beloved daughters, Miss Caroline
Brown, to Hymen's altar, where in
the presence of God and man they
entered upon solemn vows that
made them husbaud and wife
until death do them part. With
the arrival of Monday, February
th? 6th, 1905, Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Haltiwanger reached the twenti
eth mile post on their marital
journey. And while perchance
they have been called upon dur
ing these years to undergo Bundry
vicissitudes', crosseB, trials and
bereavements-euch as are com
mon to all mortals-Heaven has
nevertheless showered upon them
a very liberal share bf earth's
choicest blessings. It was then en
tirely meet and proper that they
shoi?ld bring their friends together
under their hospitable roof tree
to rejoice with them that two dec
ades of married bliss have been
vouch safer^to them.
It was thies erasion, the cele
bration of tbeir "china wedding",
that caused many of Mr. and Mrs.
Haltiwanger's friends to gather
at their home on Monday evening
last. It was a cold, cloudy, dreary
uightwheo all without was en
veloped in ice and daraness, but
on crossing the-threshold of this
hospitable home, light and life,
mirth sud merriment, jov and
happiness and good cheer abound
ed.
The charming hostels was as
sisted in receiving by ber very
gifted ani.t, Mrs. Theresa Strick
land, of Anderson, who is as
youthful, pretty, sparkling and
vivacious as a young girl not yet
>ut of her teens. The entire house
was iu wedding attire, the spa
cious hall, the front parlor and
'he dining room being all very
tastefully decorated with ever
greens, fems and pot plants. The
southern smilax that so gracefully
hung above the doors and arch cf |
the hall, and that festooned the
walls was especially beautiful. j
Thf? lovely presents, which gave
tangible expression to the con
gratulations and good wishes from
scores of relatives and frieude
from far and near, were too nu
merous to mention in detail.
Suffice it to say that all {resent
?declared that it had nevpr before
been their eood fortune lo tee
such a large and handsome col
lection of china. Besides many
pieces from trVir Edge-field friends
and non-resident friends and rela
tive?, among tlioee deserving es
pecial mention was a large and
exceedingly handsome va90 from
Judge and Mr?, and Jos. A. Mc
Cullough", of Greenville; a very
beautiful chocolate pitcher from
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fiel er, of
Greensboro, N. C. ; :i prettily deco
rated china pitcher of novel de
sign from Mrs. Murray of Ander
son, the widow of the minister who
officiated at the marriageof Mr.
and Mre. Hnltiwanger, and who
al?o married the father and moth
er of the latter. Thal, which called
forth the greatest admiration from
all present, werp the great number
of pieces of china that had been
so beautifully painted by hand,
the work of Mrs. Daisy Brown
Di arv, a sister of the bride of
twenty summers.
While the pleasant conversation
made the evening pa6S rapidly
enough, increased velocity was
given to the speeding hours by
enchantingly sweet vocal music
by Mrs. Strickland, ard hy ?ki
instrumental music rendered by
Mrs. Milton Parker, Mrs. J. H.
Tillman and Miss Julia Halliwan
ger.
The ready and quick respmse
t?i: t was given by the guests to
the invitation to partake of the
elal orate wedding supper showed
that this was re?iur Jed as one. of
tbe most attractive features of the
evening. The guests were Boated
by twos and fours to small tables
upon which had ber.n placed
plates-large plates, not th? kind
that can at best hold but little
that had been bountifully hdped
with turkpy, salads, Saratoga chips
salted almonds, olive?, toast and
crackers. After all had partaken
freely of tili5? cours*0, de.'ightful
\ gelatine, with whipped cream,
maraschino cherries and cake
were beautifully served by pretty
Misses Ellamays Alien and Vir
ginia Addison. Th*1 latter prpsi
