Edgefield Advert? % J. JD. MIMS, - - - EDJ '? TERMS: ONE YEAR $3 SIX MONTHS WEDNESDAY, NOV. S, : ..,_._ One mouth from to-day, D< ber the Stb, the tale will have told. Edgefield will have a stand for or against liquor. -; In: bis proclamation, sc apart Thursday, November 30th, as Datioualthanksgivinf President Roosevelt gives ex sion to lofty, aud beautiful i ment?. If the teeniiLg mil who will lead this official i ment will honestly endeavi live up to the high ide?is set iu it they will be made bei ter and women thereby. The Aikeu Journal says "changing cars at, Tieutoti is annoying to tourists comin Aiken." Yee, changing cai alway/? annoying to everyfc -but what is more anuoyiu Edgefield passengers thau ch . iug cars is haviug to wait at 1 ton till a few Yankees, with 1 golf clubs and poodle dogF, carried to Aiken, seventeen n away, before they, the said E --?-* field passengers, are brough their destination, which is < . six miles from Trenton. Cc m missions Should Be Revc Much is said of the very st geut laws and safeguards that * thrown aroui'd the insurance c pauies that are chartered iu e< of the northern 6taks. Aud iu spite of it all the officers trjes? companies perpetrate fr upon their policy holders with let or hindrance. The Ileura Commiisioner of Missouri t however, hit upcu a flan whicl executed will right the wror . This officer has notified oue of large compauieb that unless amount contributed lo the Repi Hean campaign fund is paid bi ^ io the policy holders the com rr sion allowing said company to business in thej?tate of Misse will be revoked. If every st; were to take similar action t officers of this company wot have to reimburse the policy ho ers, also desist from fraud and e trayagauce in future or go out . .'.business al together. Unprecedented Prosperity. section afford the best index as the prosperity of that town or sr. tion. Wheu deposit accounts a J?w and the loane of the ban stand at thu high-water mark it safe to say that business is d pressed and that the people ge erally are in straightened cireur stances. On the contrary, wh* deposits are heavy and loans ha1 been greatly reduced, with litt demand for money, one needs r better evidence of prosperity, is the latter condition that obtaii in Edgefield. The two banks hax never collected better at any tin since they were org?nized tha they have this fall, nor have d< posits been so heavy before ? thiB season. Many an old not and mortgage that havejyellowe with age have been cancelled an y consigned to the flames, nere _more^-to be a nightmare to thei maker. Furthermore, maoy fai mers who heretofore have barel "made both ends meet" are out c debt and carrying bank books i; their pockets. Surely, the peopl of cid Edgefield county will hav much to give thanks for on Thanks . giving Day of 1905. Very Successful Union Meeting. (Written For Last Week.) EDITOR ADVERTISER : The Union Meeting of the 2n( diviRion of the Edgefield Associa tion met with Big Stevens Creel church last Saturday and Sunday The attendance of delegates waf rather slim, several churches not being represented. The meeting was an enjoyable one, in ever} way, notwithstanding the rathei disagreeable weather. The various queries were dis cussed with a rare degree of in telligence and harmony. On Sun day the missionary sermon was preached ty Rev. G. P. Bush, the regular appointee, Mr. Littlejohn being unable io attend on account pt sickness. After the sermon we ^ had quite an interasting speech from Bro. Drew Nixon, represent ing the orphanage, after which a contribution of $20.50 was taken up for the orphanage. This was considered a remarkably fin? showing from so small a congre gation. Our present efficient moderator and clerk. Bros. Dorn and Adam ?, were unanimously re-elected to serve for the pnsuiug year. The energy and enthusiasm of? Bro. Dorii is so very contagious that the person who fails to catch it in short ord'-r must be too slow to catch anything worth having. While our church belongs to tho Ridge Aessociation, we are nearer .this division of the" Edgpfield as sociation than any division of the Ridget. Therefore, as a matter ot c?nv?nience we meet with the yy:- . nearest Uuion. . G. w. M; VERY STRONG APPEAL For More Water, More Cleanli ness and More Alertness on the Part of the City Fathers. EDITOR ADVERTISER : The recent move on the part of our people to raise money for the purpose of establishing an electric plant ?3 a good one and highly to be com mended. The ready response in t he way of subscript ions to sa:ne shows that we have some wide awake people among us. While that is the case, the electric light ing of our town is about its least need. Water, water, water, and clean liness, cleanliness, is the cry from all eides. Water and cleanliness, we must have and that without de lay, but so far as I am able to as certain, no efforts are being made in th it direction. We are on the brink c: ;. water famine and our property stands today without pro tection because we bave not enough water to extinguish a ohioken ooop if flames were to break out here. While tb?t is the case, there is still another greater need, aud one that effects ourv6ry lives. While the health of our towu is greatly endangered by impure water, the sanitary condition of the place is absolutely a death trap. No at tention s?einc to PQ paid to_ that matter. Our city fathers geem fco be asleep or blind. The condition of the town is simply somethiog fearful to con template, Tbe streets are un? Kept. Back Ipts reek with filth. Hog penn aro allowed iu the popu lous portions of the town without any sanit?r}' regulations of the name. The smell from them rises up under the windows of people who have to bear the odor and the danger of becoming sick from same, It simply amounts to a shame of the first wator that the town does not attempt to oorreot these evils. The city fathers may Bay that no complaints are lodged with them, but that is no excuse. Our well paid police force should be required to examine all premises two or three times a week and rer port what they fiud, instead of spending their time holding down a few "window eilis in a limited space ou the square, It w )uld require too much space to go into detail about tbese mat ters. My aim is to call attention to them as complaints are being heard on all sides. The duty of the police is more than arresting a few drunkeu per sons; and the duty of the town council is more than meeting once a month' to try. those persons, 'f hose are the facts that I desire to emphasize. The first care of cur city fathers should be the health of the tewni butiu Edgefield, that care seemB to be iguored. 1 admit the fact that from Mayor down, our city fathers are worthy men, men of as good standing as we have, but that does not relieve them of the charge" of -neglecting It is more" important to look after the health of the place than it is to lay too much stress on blind tigers, or the sale of a glass of coco cola or a.cigar on Sunday. Enforce all of the ordinances of the town alike without fear or favor, but especially enforce, strictly, every ordinance relating to tho eanitary condition of the place. If the ordinances of the place are not sufficient, pass others tnat will meet the situation. If our city fathers would turn their attention to that matter, it would surprise them as to how small the cost would be. There is not a worse kept town in South Carolina than Edgefield, and we need men to. manage its affairs who will see that that stigma be removDd from it. Smaller towns than this, and towns of much leBS wealth, can put us to the blush. We must get out of the old ruts and that before an other, summer comes. The people must rise in their might and .de mand that such be the case. WM. P. CALHOUN. A Creeping Death. Blood poison creeps up towards the heart, causing death. J. E. Stearns, Belle Plaine, Mi:m, writes that a friend dreadfully.in jured his hand, which swelled up like blood poisoning. Bucklen's Arnica Salve drew out the poison, healed the wound, and saved hu life.
