..mes out of every -*?? the woman who marries gets the email end of the bargain, but when Nan Tatterson re-married her former husband a few days ago the man "got left." The dispensary directors keep or? buying liquor -and saying nothing. * Probably they refrain from talking . for fear that if they once Open their mouths they might tell tales oat of school. Mrs. Kice not only achieved ' great fame as author of "Mrs. ; Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" but has also gathered in the shekels. She is now at the hoad of a nation al bank in Louisville that is capi talized at a quarter of a million dollars. The Chinese are making good their thieat to boycott American > cotton goods There are at present 169,000 bales of cotton cloth in the warehouses at Shanghai, which are valued at $8,000,000 in gold'. Should such a condition continue for any great length of time the southern mills will be made to Buffer heavily. Our town needs another ginnery. The present capacity of the oil mill ginnery is entirely inadequate to the demand. We see no reason why a ginnery and roller mill com bined would not pay handsomely in Edgefield. The same power would answer for both, as the grinding season would close about the time the ginuing season would open. The scarcity of timber, together with the steady increase in the mileage of railroads, make it diffi cult for them to obtain wood cross , ties in many sections. Some of the roads are adopting steel ties that cost two dollars each. They la?t indefinitely, however, which makes them really cheaper in the end. Thirteen steel ties weigh a ton, requiring about 215 tons of steel per mile. Some .of the patent medicines that are1 in general use aro said to ry;. internal revenue department. haB passed a rule to the effect that the manufacturers of these medicines, " also the druggists who sell th'em} . must pay a tax as retailers of li-; fc quors. This action will greatly reduce the sale of certain popular cure-alls. Many individuals will discontinue their use when they learn that these medicines are in toxicants in disguise. Hub Evans not only ignores Senator Tillman's suggestion that he resigu but states positively that he will be a candidate for re-elec tion. The bibulous members of the general assembly will doubt less wallow in free liquor from the distillers and houses that supply the dispensary. Who knows but what the Richland Distilling Com . pany will run an uuder-ground pipe to the capitol, with a spigot in __""?very committee room ? Notwithstanding the fact that the,state Has a stock of $900,000 worth of liquor on hand, and tho further fact that four counties have voted out the dispensary with elec tions pending in many others9 which will greatly reduce the con sumption of intoxicants, the liquor buying by the directors goes mer rily on. Senator Tillman said at Marion on Saturday : ''They keep buying and buying-for what ? I can't s ie anything else but that they may be getting a rebate or a Commission, and unless they do buy they can't get the commission." A Card From Mr. W. H. Harling, Cashier of The Farmers Bank, in Reply to Supervisor Self. ME. EDITOR : In yours of last 'week over the signature of Mr. D. P. Self, appears an article in which there are some statements so put as to be absolutely false. I, as Cashier of. The Farmer's Bank, ' wish to correct these statements. ? 1. As to the "Supervisor's war rant being turned down by the Farmer's Bank", 1 wish to say that these warrants are not drawn upon any bank but as everybody knows, are drawn on the Treasur er of the county, and are nearly always taken up by the banks for the accommodation of the Treas urer. This saves the Treasurer writing a check for each warrant. The Farmer's Bank has always paid these warrants when present ed unless it had instructions from the County Treasurer not to pay .x -th?ra. . * About the first of October 1904, if I remember correctly, I aBked Tre :?urer C. M. Williams if he - . had the money to pay the Super visor's warrants being drawn at th? October meeting. He answered ._; that he did not have the money and that he would not pay these warrants at the time. So, hoting Hider his instructions, I refused o pay some warrants whiGb were resented and my information is at the Supervisor then quit iwing his warrants to pay claims 1 instead issued what is called nty scrip to claim holders. I her state that Mr. Self knew the Treasurer himself that ould not pay these claims. Vs to the statement that when ._c_e ''warrants were turned down by this bank" that there was money in the bank to pay these claims. I know nothing of the correctness of this statement as the Treasurer is supposed to know his business and the funds of the couuty are subject to tho order of the Treasurer and uot of the Su pervisor. The Treasurer does not keep.all of his funds in one bank which Mr. Self knows, BO why did he not apply for relief to some other bank which bad also been paying the Treasurer's warrants. The answer to this would be that Mr. Self knew that the Treasurer had instructed the banks here that he had no fuuds with which to pay Supervisor's warrants in October 1904. 3. As to his assertions that the "claim holders were notified by the officers of this bank that moDey was left bere to discount county paper at 20%." I recollect telling somo claim holders who inquired of me to know who wa? buying county paper at that time, that Mr. C. A. Wells had asked me to say to anyone offering coun ty paper for sale that he would buy it. at 20% discount, aud at thf- j request of Mr. Wells. I-did buy some county paper for him, and paid for same with money left by Mr. Wells. This bank has not bought ar y paper issued by the Cjuuty Supervisor since the year 1903. Since that time it has only haudled such paper by way ol collateral security to our usual bank note. This a true [statemeut Of the facts in this matter and to attempt ro or?ate the impression iii the public mind that this bank . had, of its own choice, refused to pay the Supervisor's warrants when ! there was money in i's keeping for the purpose, in order that it might get to discount county paper, is false and is entirely un worthy in a citiznn whom the peo ple of Edgefield County have elected to tho responsible office ol Supervisor.

ROSE COTTAGE. Letter to J. R. Can te lou. Edgefield, S. C. Dear Sir : Two years ago, Mr. Graut Smith, Erie; Pa, painted th reo frame houses, and the wood work of a brick houso. The painter estimated $116.50 for the paint, lead-a?d-oil. He bought De voo $97.40 and re turned $11.60. Saved $31.10 on the paint. Don't know the cost of the work, By the rule, the saving of labor would be from $60 to $90. On all, from 90 to $120. This is the tale, as it comes from Messrs. W. F. Nick & Son, our agents there for 40 years. Yours truly F. W. DEVOE & Co. 57 The Edgefield Mercantile Co. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to. be born 1 afflicted with weale kid neys. If Ihe.child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need' the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp=Root is soon realized.
