There aro millions of ears eagerly listen i ng for the eahoeB of his cannon ading. Ail along many have said that tho grain would be all light if we could have an abundance of rain in May. The rains have come but where ii the grain ? " Hunting and other kindred out of-door sports have been recently dignified. The president is now homeward bound from a three wesks' hunt in the Rocky moun tains, and the only living ex-presi dent hus spent the past week fish ing in South Carolina waters. . The Mikado has gi Ten $5,000 from his private purse to the army branch of Ihe Y. M. C. A., in Japan. ' The Mikado is a heathen and has Dine wives. Does Dr. Washington Gladden think it proper for a Christian association to take the/ money ?-Charleston Post. The man with the hoe is now in great demand. ? dispatch from Columbia states that Commission er of Immigration Watson is now prepared to supply any amount of labor within sixty Lours notice. Should the rains continue thou sands of expert grass killers can find profitable employment ID Edgefield county. President Roosevelt has made himself famous as a slayer of bears-he and his party having killed ten while on their recent western hunting expedition. Now the southern cotton growers would like to see the-president level his] official guns upon the bears that infest Wall street. . Again the ADVERTISER urges the ?people from far and near to attend the Inter-Denominational Sunday .School Convention which is to convene with the Edgefield Bap tist church on May the 11th and 12th. It will be a feast for the! mindanda ffeast for the soul-I also a feast for the body will be a part of che programme. If one is to judge by the ship ments of fertilizers from Charles ton, the actual "consumption this year will be considerably less than the tag sales indicate. During the past four months about 276,000 j tons have been shipped, while for the same period last year the ship ments from Charleston amounted to more than 300,000 tons. - - Nature seems to have already entereid upon its worXof reducing ~~-ino cotton "acreage and production, i lt is stated that vast acres of ! - cotton haye been abandoned in Texas on account of the grassland excessive' rainjBjl*--"Tne boll weevJ]^-iriB^not oome from its hidjD^ind it is yet to be seen whether it will or not inaugurate a very aggressive , campaign against over-production. . It should be a source of great | rejoicing to the taxpayers that all psst indebtedness of the county has been liquidated. Supervisor Self advertises in this issue for all outstanding claims, urging that they be presented for payment on tho 7 oh day of June. We are pleased to know also that Super-! intendent of Edueatiou Byrd has] a plan on foot which, if it is not thwarted, -will place the public schools upon a cash basis after this year. A western editor has hit upon the following plan for increasing his circulation : He has had him self^appointedjustice of the peac? and now advertises that he will marry any couple who will take two subscriptions to his paper As our esteemed bachelor breth ren, Terrell and Cbeatham, of the Monitor and Chronicle, respective ly, seem to be a little at sea con cerning their subscription lists, the ADVERTISER suggests that they get married themselves, procure commissions as notaries public, and then marry other folks for two subscriptions a couple. The one "Who ties the kr ot the most grace fully; will marry the most couples --consequently get the most sub scriptions-and maybe this will help these irascible brethren out of their difficulty. Everybody admires the loya mau or woman-that individua who under all circumstance! whether in sunshine or shadow, i prosperity or adversity, is ut swerving iu his or ber devote allegiance to a cause, an institt tion,oran organization. On tb contrary, one holds in contemp the individual who enjoys tb fruitB of an organization when a is serene and placid but deserts at the crucial moment-when is assailed by foes and stands i need of the loyal support c friends. Ninety Six, like Edgefield, j one of the old towns of the stat {that is coming rapidly to the froi:t The growth of Ninety Six withi the last few years hap been pbe uomenal. But we need not b surprised at this growth and de velophient when we consider th fact that there are public spiritei men in Ninety Six who put thei shoulders to the wheel-raen wh work as well as talk. The great est need of that town is a newe paper to exploit its advantages ft is conceded tbat there is m more potent factor in the devdop meut and upbuilding of any com munity than a newspaper. Sonu of the leading citizens of Niuetj Six are agitating the founding o a paper, and they should not stoj ehort of accomplishing their pur pose. It ie a matter of rumor that the stockholders of the Edgefielc Manufacturing Ccmnauy havt under consideration plans foi doubling thecapBcity of the cottor. mill. When the pn sent building was erected and the machineiy in stalled it was then the avowed pur pose of the management to in crease the capacity of the mill al some future time. The engine that is njw UBed is capable ol developing sufficient power to mu twice the machinery that is at present i:i operation. Should the plans that are said to be on foot materialize the annex to the mill will represeut au additional in vestment of something like $100, 000. It is generally hoped that th? mill will be enlarged. AD in vestment of so large a sum of money here at this time would mean much to our town aud vi cinity. Cold Spring. The high school closed here last Thursday night. Mrs. Jowere and Mis. Walker have done good and faithful work which is ap preciated by both pupils audpa troD8. After some exercises by the pupils Prof. F. N. K. Bailey and Mr. W. A. Byrd, of Edgefield, made good speeches which we are sure will do gocd. The Winn and Seigler uaud of Rehoboth added much to the pleasure of the even ing by their splendid music. Mise Rosa Thurmond, of the Grove, played for the drills which was highly appreciated. The school room here will be furnished with new patent desks by the opening of the next session. Last Friday a negro woman whose name we could not leam living on Hon. W. R. Parks' place committed suicide by jump ing in Stevens Creek Her body was dragged from the creek Saturday afternoon. She leaves a husband a-nd several children. It is sn id that she had been iu bad health for several years. Mr. P. P. Doolittle was on our streets last Friday. Mr..-Doolittle told us that the farmers of Reho both were behind with their work on account of too much rain. Even at this early date he was thinking of ordering a hay presB. Mr. John Bush, of the Grove, says that he is planting corn this year aud will raise hog and homi ny at home. Mr. Fred Quarles has a new top buggy, also a brand new baby giri Mr. Walter Holmes and his B?E tef, Miss Bessie, attended church at the Grove yesterday. Miss Eva Wates, of the S. C. C. 1. visited home folks last Friday and Saturday. Mrs. George Dorn who has been sick so long was able to atten d church last Sunday. One young widower called on some young ladies a few days ago, and his horse got loose and run over a bee stand. The horse tried to run, so when the young widow er tried to hold it more" th?n a dozen bees got dowo his collar. He says that he pulled hie coat aod collar off but would not tell what else. Prof. and Mrs. Bailey, Miss Rosa Thurmond, Mrs. W. R. Parka, and her sen Claude visited Rose Cottage last week. Mr. Frauk Weat of Antioch, visited ui8 father Mr. John West yesterday. Red Hill church haB a new organ. The old oue was too small for the large bouse. The organ is very large and sweet toned and fills our la'-ge church with sweet music. Mr. J. H. Bussey says that he will have a new peach pie for dinner tbe third Suuday iu May. Mr. O. J. Holmes has put anew yard fence around his house. Mr. Holmes Bays that he now has lightning rods on his house and that he would be glad to trade them for au up to date organ. Our farmers are still plautiu; cotton seed. Oats are alrm st a failure.
