The concensus of opiaion ib that Hon. John L. McLaurin is grooming for text year's political ?rena. Some say thxt he wil1 oppose Senator Tillman and others believe that he has gubernato rial ^aspirations. .v It is to be hoped that the "leak" in the agricultural department will be stopped by the time the cotton crop of 1905 is ready for market, for the farmers already suffer untold losses at the hands of the speculators without their having the conuivauce of the government officials. The Knights bf Honor have in a sense become more gal laut, their ranks now being open to women. At the grand lodge in Atlanta a motion to amend the constitution 80 as to admit women into the order was adopted by a vote of 60 to ll. This will enable many a home ta increase its insurance pro tection. Edgefield county is to have a Farmers' Institute this summer. Acting upon the requests of a goodly number of representative! farmers, the editor of the ADVER-| USER has made application to j President Mell of Clemson college ! for au institute for this county. The date, which will be late i? July or early in August, will be announced later. As an evidence that an adver tisement inserted in this news paper pays, we call attention to the following: Mr. B. J. Crooke* recently installed an improved cold tire setter and placed an :.:/.advertisement in our columns calling attention to it. The paper was mailed on Wednesday and by Saturday night 18 sets of tires \ were carried-to him to be set by the machine. The one insertion brought somethirg like $25 worth of business. Furthermore, a great number called to see the machine whose tires did not need setting John Wannamaker, who is with out a peer among the merchant princes of America, is a firm be liever in advertising and at'eribu tes his ph?nom?nal success to his very liberal use of printer's ink. One of bis first transactions after opening shop in Philadelphia in 1861 was to furnish some ?quip ements to the custom house offi cials. On- this transaction he netted $38, all of which was ex pended for newspaper advertising. To-day this multi-millionaire, who is the leadiM^nefcBant of the is spending upwardsL_o? 11,000,000 to exploit his wares. It is a significant fapt that never yet, during his career of forty-odd years, has he inserted an adver tisement in a Sunday newspaper. Dispensary or No Dispensary, Which? m Elsewhere in thi? issue appears a call for a mass meeting to be held on July 3rd, which we pub lish by request. ID view of the fact that two counties have by , large majorities voted out whiskey and two or three other counties . have on foot movements'looking to the voting ont of the dispensary, some of our representative citizens . think that Edgefield should act in the matter also. So it is for the purpose of testing the sentiment of the people upon the question of "dispensary" or "no dispensary" that the meeting for the first Mon day in July has been called. There as those, and they are not a few, who entertain the belief that a de cided majority of Edgefield'e citizenship would vote against the sale of liquor in this county were the opportunity given them. President Should Honor Him. We do not recall an individual who ha? more fully and abundant ly obeyed a certain scriptural in junction than bas a citizen of Lancaster county, who recently celebrated his 71st birthday with a family re-union. There were present 14 children, 73 grand in, ll great grand children, in all. President apprehen distinguished paterfamilias with a medal. Certaiuly the Governor of Idaho, the population of which state is said to be annually decreasing, should induce some of this South Carolinian's jprogeny to locate in his Btato. If Lancaster county should send out a few such citi zens to the waste places iu the state it would soou put Commis sioner of Immigration Watson out of business. A Day at Collier. EDGEFIELD, S. C., i June 17th, 1905. [ DEAR ADVERTISER : This has been a day spent at Collier to be remembered. The capital of Collier township is Mathis' Store, situated on the Martin Town*road about 5 miles north of Republican church, about 5 miles east of Red Oak Grove church, about 5 miieB south of Antioch church, and about 8 or 10 miles weBt of Horn's Croek church, situated there in a thickly settled community in the midst of the Millers, Mathiues, Craftons. Ham monds, Adamses, McKies, Princes, Whalleys Edmunds, MimseB, Parkmans, Cturseyg; Stephens^?, and otheis equally hospitable. It is one. among the mo6t favored spots in all Edgefield. Some years ago the beloved and lammted Dr. Robt. McKie, seeing the inconvenience that tho par ents and children of this com munity had in attending Sunday school at the above named churches, organized "P e a c e Haven" Sunday school, at Collier. A Sunday school building was erected and, if I mistake not, was dedicated by Dr. L. R. Gwaltney and others. Since its organization the school has prospered. About a year ago the building was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire. The good people of the com munity came together as a ningle man and rebuilt it. The occasion to-day was Child ren's Day under the auspices of Peace Haven Suuday School, The programme which cons;sted of songs and recitations was gotten up, and the^ouug maidens misses, youths'and boys were trained, by Mrs. Tom Miller aud Mrs. Wflf Whatley. I wish I had the pro gramme before me so that I could give it together with the names otj all those who took part in the exf| ercises, I can only iiay that ni programme were ever gotten ul more befitting sucli an occasion? and carried out more perfectly bjfl those who were in it. Surely Cofi lier and all Edgefield should, ll proud of two Buch cultured ChriH tian women, m At about 10 o'clock the carriagffl and buggies began arriving on HS grounds J aden-, wi th., tho cultu jg and refinem abound in tha trunks, baske overflowing w things to eat. The exercis Sunday echo filled to ove Mealing del prayer and th The beautifu Miss R OSa Thutuotrnu, wau pi.<?oi ded at tho organ, Mr. Henry Mc Kie with the cornet, and a choi of splendid voices furnished th music. Dr. Dr. J. N. Craftoi than whom there is no man in a Edgefield more beloved, intrc duced those on programme, an when finished all were invited t a shady grove near by, where wi spread a most sumptuous dinne Well, for a stranger to go to Co lier to one of their spreads it r minds him and he is imnressr that it is a great family re-unio so hospitable are its people ai congenial one to tha other. Tl afternoon exercises consisted einging and two splendid talks 1 Rev. J. P. Mealing aud Mr. P. ." Bussey. May peace and prosperity cc tinue-to reside in Collier. VISITOR. JOHNSTON. Rev. L. A.

Mobley on Friday afternoon. Another pond drawing took place near town laet week. We heard that fifteen gallons of whis key and five gallons of beer went that way. Few fish were caught. Work will begin on the ginnery to be added to the mill, next week. A contribution was asked for the Orphanage at our Baptist church on last Sunday. Seventy six dollars was given. Our Sun day school supports au orphan. Mrs. J. A. Richardson has au order from North Carolina for the picture "Alone", to be done in in water colors. The House Tire Shrinker UB?d by Mr. J. A. Richardson is quite a wonder. The tire is tightened by pressure, and the work is done effectually without removing a bolt. There are now more doga owupd by negroes than we have noticed for years. The tax has seemingly made them more valuable. We noticed a negro a few days since with his gun pursuing a little yellow dog that had just devour ?d sixteen eggs. He Jet it have two loads, of Bhot, but at last ac count, the dog was alive. We 'teard another negro complaining .jj^y^^ejghbor's dog had eaten The Daughters of the Confed eracy have uow ahout 46 rapmbers. Have paid two hundred dollars on their Hall. ? The Convention meets at this olace this fall. ; COLD SPRING. Beautiful rains have falleu and ba e refrethed all vpgei.i tion. The rain came just at the right time. The farmers had just about got their crops free from grass. The early planting of corn has uot loue well for the last two weekB. Now that th? rain has fallen there is an excellent opportunity for a late planting. There will be a =rreat many peas sown in this i community. Almoet every week we bear of some couuty gelling ready to vote out the c.ispeusary. This is as it should be. Wo believe that Edge field-will soon fall in line. The Sunday School at Colliers observed Children's Day last Saturday. Quite a good crowd was present All who went report a pleasant time. Misses Ellie Prince aud Elise danton each have a new organ.

He sent a large basket full of this nice fruit to Rose Cot1 age last Wed nesday. Our friends and neighbors have kept Rose Cottage well supplied with fruit of ail kinds, for which we return many thanks. Cuban Diarrhoea. li: S. soldiers who served in Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cubau diarrhoea is almost as se vere and dangerous as a mild at tack of cholera. There is one renie dy, however, that can always be depended upou aR will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie' Jacobs of Houston. Texas : "I hereby certify (bat Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of cubau diar rhaea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doc tors but they did him no good. One bottle of this remedy cured him, as our ueighbors will testify. ? thank God for so valuable a medicine." For sale by All Drug gists.
