The ADVERTISER, in behalf of the people of Edgefield, extends a very cordial welcome to the teach er? who have come among us to spend a month in attendance upon the county summer school. We trust that their stay will be Loth very profitable and very pleasant. So long have the cartoonists sketched our strenuous president as one possessed of very decided bellicose propensities, with knives, ?words and pistols at his side, that doubtless they are now at a IOBE to know how to portray him in the role of peace maker. ?Russia and Japan have signified their willingness to call off their dogs of war and discuss peace propositions. The next step will be the appointment of represen tatives by the belligerents who will meet to agree upon terms of peace. The place of meeting is yet to be decided upon. Brother Knight of the Bamberg Herald must lead a very strenu ous life. There appeared in his paper of last week two clippings one editorial and the other local from the ADVERTISER. We are constrained to believe that he was too busy to give dii6 credit. Of course he would not deliberately purloin them. . The United States lead the world in many things that reflect honor upou the nation but un happily we also lead all others in certain other things that heap shame and dishonor upon us. Prominent among the latter is the granting of divorces. For every 10,000 marriages in this country there are 612 divorces, while in france, in spite of the corrupt state of her society which has al mo ? become proverbial, only 180 divorces are granted. Canada occupies the place of honor, only granting four divorces for every 10,000 marriages While South Carolina must share this.dishonor along with the forty-odd other states, yet, thank Heaven, not any part of the wrong doing can be laid at ber door. - The Southern railroad ?B deter mined, cost what it may, to re duce the possibility of collisions upon its various toads to a mini mum by installing the block sys tem. Already this system is in operation between Washington . and Atlanta, upon which road very heavy trains are operated at a highspeed. The road is diyided into sections or- blocks of one 'mile and a half jin length and a telegraph operator is stationed at Jthe end of^?ji^'block. But one ? tra?TaTatime is allowed upon a section, which keeps all trains approximately a mile and a half apart, making jear-end or head-on collisions impossible. It not only requires thousands of dollars to install such a system but coBts barrel* of money to operate it. Some idea of the cost can be form ed from the fact that the Southern has 180 operators stationed be tween Greenville and Atlanta. Exclusion Act Too Exclusive. The boycotting of American - cotton goods by Chinese mer chants, because of the Chinese ex clusion act,' has forced the manu \ facturers of these goods to realize that they are confronted with a situation that may become very grave. As the act is now. con strued not even the Chinese no bility or merchants, to say noth ing of the coolies,, are admitted into this country. Who can ron der then that this boycott has been instituted ? Would Ameri cans buy tea grown in China, es pecially if thip commodity could be obtained elsewhere, were the growers of this tea to exclude all Americans, and by that act say ' that we were unfit toset foot upon . their soil ? Under such condi tions all Chinese tea that reached American waters would be cast overboard about as quickly and deliberately as that was dumped by th** Colonists in Boston har bor more than a century ago. China is at present the cbi;>f for eign market" for southern cotton manufacturers. Therefore, steps should be taken to conciliate the almond-eyed Orientals who are far from being.the fools that they appear to be. Act, Act At Once. Shall we bave a Farmer?' In stitute in Edgefield ? The citi zens muiit decide this question for themselves. President Mell of Columbia College has just issued a circular letter to the effect that institutes will be held be tween July 19th and August 5th in the counties that ask for them. All apphcatious for institutes' must be filed, however, by June 20;h. The wide-awake farmer who is on the alert for bo*ter and improved methods of farming is greatly benefitted by the lectures of the specialists who conduct these institutes. Then, why not have one at Edgefield ? It will cost our people nothing. Only six days remain in which to file an application. If farmers from different sections of the county -will authorize Ihs editor of the ADVEHTISER, who is secre tary of the farmers' association of the county, to make application to President Mell foran institute,he will do so with pleasure. Writo us a card at once expressing your desire. JOHNSTON. The only child of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wallon died Thursday and was buried on Friday. Deep sym pathy is felt for the bereaved pa rents.
