?dff?f ielii Adv?it?sertl J. L. MIMS. - ? . EDITOR TERMS: ONE YEAH $15(U SIXMi?NTHS 75 WEDNESDAY. JAN. 10, 1906 With .thevdnwn of the new year'j the political pot has begun to sim mer in South Carolina. Hon. Cole L. Bleaae, of Newberry, has an nounced himself a candidate for governor. In connection with this announcement there is some pleas ure in the thought that ?.ot every man who aspires to fill this ex alted'position is chosen. In the matter ot homicides, Edgefield is making a record ot which we need not be proud. There are at presentsix person?, ali colored, in jail charged with mur der, and still another, a colored woman, is behind the bars for attempt to murder, having ad milistered poison to a little child which did not prove fatal. Two other descendants of Ham, undei indictment for burglary and high way robbery, are also registered at Sheriff Ouzts* public inn. Senator T. Garrett Tal bei t, Hon,! B. E. Nicholson aud Hon. J. W.j DeVore left for Columbia on Moa-] day in order to be at the;r re spective posts when the General Ajwmbly convened on yesterday. 'iv.re is nota drone in EdgefieldV deltgation. All are alert, active, ready to discharge their duty U their constituents as they see lt. There are barrels of idle money in Edgefield.,The combined de posits of the two banks amount to .$290,000. Should not a large por tion of this money be invested ?D industrial enterprises? Beside* paying larger dividends than the banks can afford to pay for thir money,, such enter].-rises would bring hundreds of people here and toe regular'pay rolls would be s great boou to every business in terest in Edgefield. Sooner or later every aol lar of the money would find its way back into the banks. The practice of advancing money to hands in order to secure their services.is a pernicious one, and will tend to. a . further .der moralization of labors Some; have' been known to accept such money fruin one farmer and then engage their services to another. While five or ten dollars advanced now may secure a hand, it is 'probable that in a few years, if the practice is contiLued, three or four times that amount may be demanded. In fact, in some counties of the state, where this evil has existed for a number of years, labor is so greatly dem >ralized thereby that the farmer who bids the highest gets the hands. It will be better for the employers and the employ ees if this practice is discontinued in this county before it becomes general. For the next forty days the law makers will be floundering and groping in a wilderness of new bille. This being campaign year, many will feel that they must in troduce and endeavor to secure the passage of some law to which they can point'next summer, when they appear upon the hustings to give an account of their stewardship. Oftentimes the one who defeats a measure renders a greater serv:ce to the taxpayers than the one who works for its passage. Tho two nuts that will be most difficult for the legislators to crack w; I OP those of taxation and the sc u. .on of th? liquor question. These two problems have baffled the most astute statesman for thousands of years and we "fear that a proper bolution is yet in the remote future. LADY TEACHERS ORGANIZE. An Exceedingly Interesting Repos of The Initial Meeting of The Lady Teachers of South Caro lina, From The Pen el One of Edgefield'e Foremost Teachers Who Was' Present. The South Carolina Woman's Association for the Betterment of Rural Schools which bas just held its first meeting at Winthrop wat? .imply a revival of a spirit boru among Winthrop's own girls in 1902. It is a grand and noble con ception bespeaking the source from which it has arisen. This Association was called to order at 8:30 Friday eveuing, December 29tb , 1905. by Dr. Johnson. A unanimous voice made Miss Poppenheim president, and Mips Nance recording secietary pro tera. Superintendent O. B. Martin gave an out line of the associa tion's origin, object and, as con cisely as possible, some of its plans for future work. He also ?bowed what other states, esppcia! ly Nor*b Cardliua and Georgia, wore, doing in behalf of rural schools. . Mrs. Boy ster, of North Carolina, beipg introduced, t-ouu ooQVinoird ber lisiepfjrB that portious, of ber alala at least, were thoroughly ?roused and "earnestly at work. She spoke enthusiastically of what bad been undertaken and what wae being accomplished in Wake county, and left one feeling that were it only possible to spread this enthusiasm, soon would be I seen no mure the deplorable con dition of one half of our rural schools. She asked especially that we take with us this one thought: "What gean you do?" I pass -it JU. Let us take it up! The re mainder of the evening was de voted to organizing, closing with the appointment of a committee ou Constitution ; Chairman, Bes sie Rogers, Fannie Creighton and ?ueie Halman. The hour appointed for next meeting was 9:30 Saturday e ven - iug. At that time the association reassembled and was - called to order by the presiden!. A few pleasantries from our jolly Super intendent of Education, ostensi bly for the benefit of ^all, hat 1 suspect covertly for the purpose of re-establishing himself in the good graces of Winthrop's fair girls. With telling success, too, for quite evident were the roguish ?miles of, "forgive and- make up.'; Col. Rawton made ail excellent talk which was fol.owed by live minute reports from the del?gate? representing each county. Judging from these, many o: our counties are up and doing. I hope I am wrong in believing ?dgefield ib il lo wi u g herself to be out-stripped m tbie work. If true, let us arouat ou reel ? a: ?Such muBt not bu the case, fo; vac h is uot Edge rte Id's re?u ru. When has she allowed {.?erseif to be beaten in anything? especial ly so grand and far-reaching * CD IL g- But the association, 1 am forgetting to call again. At 3:3i re-aeaenibled, and was aitoguthei a.busiress meetiug. Committee on Constitution re ported, the articles ot which wert adopted as approved by majority vote present. Officers elected were ai follows: . President. Mies Mary Nauce, Abbeville, S. C; vice president, Annie May Cain, Eastover, S. C; recording secretary, Bessie Rog ers, Benuettsvilie, S.

I am perfectly enthused with the spirit and purpose of thu meeting, and sincerely wish ever} teacher and parent particularly those of my own county, cou I o have been present. I honestly be lieve if such could have been the case, all would have been so moved to act with one accord, thai a year hence, not a eiugle ene ol those unsightly disreputable buildings that now uhound would be left to impede.. the" stride of progrese. Nothing fcut-ih&^am-^ .support aud co-operation of parent and teachers eau bs lacking, else, with our present excellent, thor oughly alive c?ucty Superintend ent this would have come te pass. Parents and teachers have a. part and they are no longer ex cusable. COLD SPUING. During Christmas week at a negro frolic a negro by the name of John Dovison shot a negro by the name of Gus Gilchrist. Gus died of his wound last Friday Dovison is now in - jail to await trial fof murder at the next court. Frolics, whiskey, pistols have caused the death of many a mau. Oh, if they could be kept from the people. A negro by the name ol Richard McDoneld was out hooting last Saturday and his gun was ac cident iv discharged. The load went into the negroe's body and be is thought to be in a dying con dition. Mrs. 0. 0. Timmerman is quite Ul, all hope of her recovery is given up.
