$50-000. Since the act of Congress
authorizing the establishment of
" national banks capitalized at
$25^000 about 1,800 have been
founded.
The most appreciated Thanks
giving present tba'; was received
by the Mutual Life policy holders
wa?.tbe resignation of President
McGu?dy. Wouldn't it be great if
President McCall would bestow a
like favor upon the New York Life
policy holders as a Christmas gift?
The pressing need of these large
life insurance companies is for all
of the old officials, who have been
weighed aud found wauting, to
Bte| down and out, and give place
for-others who can bold the confi
. dence of the people.
There are about twelve hundred
. names of voters upon the books of
registration of the county and the
- Advertiser would like to see that
many ballots cast oh to-morrow.
Whether for or against the insti
tution that is the bone of conteu
tion.everyone who is" entitled to
the^right of suffrage Bhould go to
the/polls and cast his ballot as
conscience dictates. Then an ac
curate est i mate of the public sen
timent on" this great questiou
could be obtained. Citizens of
Edgefield county, let us again urge
"-you to cast your ballot on Thurs

Young men are sent to college by
their parents to have their minds
trained and developed- and inci
dentally their bodies-but not to
make brutes of them.
Do you not believe that whiskey
is the greatest evil of the age?
Furthermore, do you not believe
that in reducing the quantity of
i whiskey that is Bold and consumed
you proportionately reduce the
consequent volume of crime and
_ misery? If you believe this, then
seize to-morrow's opportunity to
vote against the sale of liquor in
Eqgefield county. Every fair mind
edfperson will admit that while
some whiskey will be illegally sold
under prohibition, just as it is il
legally sold now, y et the q uan ti ty
will be reduced to a minimum.
Reducing the sale and consump
tion to the lowest possible amount
is what every ingenuous citizen
should strive for.
Season For making Contracts.
.'All crops have been housed or
marketed and the year's work is
being rounded up, which suggests
the fact that labor contracts for
1305 are about to expire, and very
. sbon farmers xiust lay plans and
efiaploy hands for the new year
With .each succeeding year the
vexatious labor question haB be
, ?qme more and more serious-es
pecially true of farm labor. Thif

exodus of the colored people to
' tile towns-!hus creating a dearth
of labor in certaiu localities-aiu1
tfie increasing desire of negroe.1

In other words.strive to secure a
maximum yield with a xninimuuv
of lalor.
withstanding the urgent need of
these improvements, it is impos
sible to establish them by boud
issue. The indebtedness of the
towu is now about up to the con
stitutional I1' mit, which is 8 per
cent of the taxable property ol
$400,000. Mr. Padgett stated that
the only way of getting lights and
water was by granting a franchise
to*a pr vate corporation.
Mr M P Wells expiessed the be
lief that the obstacle -in the form
of constitutional limit to tho bond
issue could be surmounted by a
special vote of the people, citing
other towns as a precedent.. Mr.
Wells also read lotters from the
mayorB of Thompsc n, Ga., Abbe
ville and Chester giving valuaole
information Upon th? question at
isFue. Different phases of the
situation were also discussed by
Mayor Mav, S. M. Smith, Esq.,
and Col. Wm. P. Calhoun.
Upon motion of Mr. A. K. Pad
gett tba chairmau was authorized
to appoint a committee of ten
the chairman to be a m?mbrr'cf
said committee-to take the mat
ter in baud aud aftor obtaiuiug
all of the information possible to
report to a subsequent mass meet

committee.
The meeting was a very harmo
nious and satisfactory one. Au ex
cellent boginniug has been made
and we trust that real, taugibl?
results will be the ultimate out
come.
The following committee has
been appointed : J. C. Sheppard,

next Tuesday at^ooon. There is a
large attendance of delegates and
visitors, and the good people of
Columbia are caring for the peo
ple nobly. The boards all report
an increase over last year. The
state mission board reported some
thing over nineteeu thousand dol
lars, the largest amount ever col
lected in this state for thia cause.
Dr. T. M. Bailey is now closing
hiB twentieth year as correspond
ing secretary and treasurer There
is no man in the state better
known or loved thaD Dr. Bailey.
There will be an assistant secre
tary next year and the state work
will still be enlarged.
The Edgefield association has
made a splendid. showing on all
lines this conventional year. Our
association paid all that was asked
for f,he orphanage and state mis
sions. Every Baptist that gave to
these objects has a right to feel
proud of the work we are doing.
But there is room for improve
ment. Let's go forward brethren.
It has beon a good year for our
orphanage. Several new buildings
have gone up last year. A deep
well has been dug, that now gives
plenty of pure water for the h'jme.
Dr. Jamison, the superintend
ent, has proven to be the right
mau in the right place. Dr. Brown
of Sumter read a paper before the
ministers conference on "Does the
scriptures teach a divine call to
the ministery." The paper was
well gotten up and well read, but
Bro. Brown did not convince the
conference that God does not call
men to preach the gospel.
Home and Foreign missions was
ably discussed, and advancement
has been made along these lin?s.
Sun lay school, and Temperance
came in for consideration. There
will be set on foot a plan to im
prove our Sunday schools'both in
the cities and country.
The convention believes the
time has come for a change of tho
dispensary law.
Dr. Brunson preached a power
ful sermon Sunday night af .3
first Baptist church in which he
referred to the dispensary in no
uncertain terms. I hope to have
something to say next week about
the condition and its work. Ten
cents coitou brought mauy of our
preachers out this year who are
not accustomed to attending the
convention. Strange to say that
the long-tail coat was in evideuce.
.Whj' do our preachers wear long
coats? I am free to confess tnat
I do not like them, but if cotton
stays at tpo another year I will
get me one to w*ar to thc next,
state convention.
The Edgefiefd a&sociation was
well repreBentpd and our delegates
was proud of the she w i g
