" TERMS: ONE YEAR $150 SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, JAN. 17, 1906 ^ True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the lesa noise it xn^kes.-LORD HALIFAX ? . ? ~-\ . The act?ou of the South Caroli na college in placing foot-ball tinder the ban is highly commend able. The game is too brutal to have a place in college athletics, especially a southern college. Would that the small pittance that'the Confederate veterans re ceive in the way of pensions could be increased ten fold. Many who were not disabled in bat tle are now by reason of their ad vanced age incapable of earning a support, v. The decision of the Supreme Court sustaining the constitution ality of the Brice law was a death dealing blow to the dispensary. The advocates of the institution cannot now reasonably hope to prolong its existence a great while. The genuiue enthusiasm and . aud perff ct unanimity mat cbar ac.erized the deliberations of th' Cotton Growers' Convention in New Orleans must have caused considerable discomfiture on the part of the bears. Forty-five petitions-one from each state-containing the uames of more than a million women protesting against the seatiug ot Senator Reed Smbot, of Utah, will be preseuted to Congi ess. Right eous indeed rau?t the cause of Mr. Smt ot jf he can set at naught th< .combined influence of a million American women. .Building? And Loan Association, Decided Factor in Edgefield's Upbuilding. The Eagefield Building -.and Lean Association has by no means been the least among those things that have-.,, contributed to our town's material development with in the past seven years/SJnce its founding the officersiand^direct ors of the association have sought every legitimate means bf promo ting its interests. And f he ir ef ort? have not beeb unrewarded, it having been thqar pleasure recent * ?mouBtm^ip^^^h'- ' fe-ever matured in Edgefield. The maturing of this stock, how ever, ie not ail that can be said of this savingB and investment institution-now no longer in its swaddling clothes, having some years ago passed the experimental stage. Dnritig the seventy mon th ?vj of its existence fifteen new resi" ' dence8 have been erected througi the association, and seven homes already built have been purchased. Furthermore, the only two busi ness houses erected in the, past seven years were built through the association. It has paid out $450 in taxes and has added $25, ! OOO to the real estate values of the town. This association should appeal especially to the young men of the community whose income is in the form of a monthly salary. Scarcely enough can be saved each month torin vest to advantage 'or even deposit in bank at inter est, yet the- building and loan association receives these small amounts and, in matured stock, pays a handsome dividend there on. Another advantage of a build ing association to a community ia that it enables those who rent homes to build and own their homes by paying but a trifle more than the rent. Those into whose keeping have been committed the affairs of the Edgefield Building and Loan Association have, in promoting their individual interests, also contributed greatly to the advance mont of the interests of the community at large. May even greater success crown their efforts in future. HISTORIC EDGEFIELD. The January "Advance", a monthly magazine published at Birmingham, Ala., contains the following beautifully written sketch of Edgefield by Mrs. Sam Will John-a sister of Mrs. J. M. Cobb and Mrs. Emma Marsh who edits the Home Department of the "Advauc?." Twenty-six miles above Augus ta, Ga., on the Southern Railroad among the hills of South Carolina is dear, old Edgefield, historic Edgefield, for every ro?d, tree and house speak a history. The scenic beauty of this routf is enhanced by a view of Langley^ pond that stretches into the pro portions of a lake made bea ul i fu by water-lilies and hedges u! tangled vi ni s and trees. The great silence bf the woods and stream is broken by the hum of cotton mills. 'Tis said, "We measure time by heart tbrobs?. Not ?B figures on a dial". - and such was the dominating thought as I stepped fro**) tb train ont on the shaded road tc the cairiage. Although the figuret ou a dial would tell.melhai seei more than sixteen summers, yo my heart gave great leaps of joy .childish delight, as it did in thc? long time ago when the girl had not crossed threBhold of woman hood. .., A crack of the whip, followed by a spring of the horBes, and I was'speeding down the road now shaded by euterlaced boughs, but with here and lhere a peep of gold from the auulit memories. - A'; it? bead aroae a handsome grey grau ite shaft erected to the memory of the Confederate dead by the noble women of Edgefield couuty. JuBt beyond this is . the court house, that having stood the atorros of rain and wind, holds the echoes of the thundering eloqui nee of South Carolina's lawyers and statesmen. A Picken'e, Carroll's, Bacon's, Butler's, Bon barn's Gary's voice revel berates through the dead silence of years; evivifyiDg the aged^maD and wo man, rekindling the dying ambi tion of the struggling, unknown youth. As the village Vests now in al most a Rip Van Winkle's sleep, we pause to dream of the life ot splendor iu the stately old coloni al mansions and parks. Far back among the oaks, mimosas aud cedars you get a glimpse of these mansions, now worn by time, bul diguified repr?sentatives of the glorious men aud women who thronged their drawing rooms aud halls. In no part of South Caroli na was there more wealth before che Civil War than iu this histor ic spot. No spot where as knights of old men wooed and won fair lady. No spot where fair women held a more goldeu sceptre to sweep across hearts aud tomes. As you dip down across the creek, up a hill hedged io ou each side by piues sud cedars, you come to the home of the late Capt R. G. M. Dunovaur, who wa6 a brave Confoderate soldier, aud whoso memory is revered by all who knew him. Far:her on you ^nter the park which surrounds "Edgewood", the home of Francie w Pickens, a mau too well kuown in history as lawyer aud statesman f ir this peu to touch upou. This home is now occupied ^y his reg*i and beautiful grand-daughter, Lucy Francis Pickeus Dugas, whx ruarrkd Senator B. R. Tillmau't sou. She inherits the queenly car riage aud Titian hair of her famous grand-mother, Lucy Hol combe Pickeus, who . held us hei admirers the crown-beads of Eu rope. The quiet li" tie grave yaru is DOW the resting place of hej distiuguished husband sud bei ouly child, a daughter, Douschka. who was born iu the palace ol St. Petersburg wbeu her fatbei was minister to that court. Hei birth was proclaimed to the worlo by as many cannon as that of a royal princesa; the czar am czarina standiug as god-father anc ^od-mother; the czarina naming oer "Douschka", the Russian foi "darling." j Leaving this place, so freight ed with precious menmrios, you .^GyEvans.-Still further on is ?SEast7- Hill"-the home of ex .Sen?tor M. C. Butler, uow owned by Hon. B. E. . Nicholson. On another main road back in a grove of elms, cedars and magno lias stands the home of Edgefield'c brilliant editor, gifted musician and courtly gentleman, James T. Bacon.'He is a brilliant representa tive of bis illustrious family. An accomplished liuguist, pianist and original writer, he Btands as a beacon-light of the past, shedding abroad a radiance that illuminates the paths of the young and old beyond the boundary line of his native state. Edgefield is built upon seven bills as ancient Rome, and, as ancient Rome, her brave men and women have few peers. Trenton, the station where you change cars for Edgefield, is itselJ an attractive place from its ex tensive farming lands aud hand some homes. A short drive from this statiou brings you to the home of Senator Ben Tillman. Thie home presents as characteristic au individuality as tli3 statesman himself. Yon see at once its dis tinctive features in the evergreen hedges, viue-clad trees and mag nificent ferus and pair s whose luxuriant growl h and wanton ueauty suggest the splendor of the Orient. As we peered into this tropical loveliness, the quft?tion was asked, "What magic baud careB for these beauties?1' The answer was. "The Senator him self, no one has this field but him." We know this seuator is dis cussed by the press; his speeches misquoted ; his thoughts perverted, but the big oold world does not know of hjs gentle caresses and care for his flowers; his love for this quiet, country life ; this de tachment from men; this realm of silence which is so necessary for the continuation of the best ase of life. A look into this na ture-world convinces ns that great deeds have their birth in silence. This tumultuous age briDgs too much haste and worry ; maukiud must look into nature's lavish products and leam that they come through silence and leisure, that man must have rest spells, some communion with na ure for the highest, loftiest de velo pmeut.

The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil .ter out the waste or Impurities tn the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning In kidney trouble.
