Edgefield probably bas SB man}
organizations as any other tovvi
of its size in all of the forty-ode
states, but there is one lacking
.yet: A society for the prevtntioi
bf cruelty to an?male. These OT-"
gauizationH are a God-send tc th?
dumb brutes, especially where tb?
.members are active. The society
ic Augusta bas turned its atten
tion to the ?nforcement of tb
"city ordinance forbidding the wan
ton use of check-reins.
On account of continued il
health, Mr. C. J. Terrell has re
tired from the field of journalism,
having sold the Johnston Monitor
?to Mr. Ira C. Carson and Mr. A.
G. Baltzegar. While regretting U
bid' adieu to Brother Terrell, with
whom'our relations have always
been exceedingly pleasant, we wel
come most cordially his talented
young successors into Ihe craft.
May honor and fame and riches
be their poitioc.
. Doubtless Superintendent of
Education Martin is sour what
displeased and chagrin* d by
having the legislature complttelj
ignore his uniimely ai d ui.wis.
suggestion to I he effect that the
Citadel be abolished. Instead of
abo'ishing or doidg aught to- im
pair its usefulness, the legislature
haB ve.y properly wppomted a spe
cial committee to iuvestigate tin
net-ds of this splaitdid iustitution,
with the view of acquiring addi
tional property aud otherwise
-nattering it3 equipment.
When liquor was procurable iu
Edgefield without let or bindraoce
the mayor had on an average half
a dozen negroes a week brought
before him, charged with beiug
drunk and disorderly. Since the
dispensary closed not a single
. negro has been arrested for
drunkenness. Whiskey is.i he one
great cause of wrong doing-re
duce the consumption of whiskey
and you correspondingly reduce
crime. Make it difficult to pro
cure whiskey and you reduce the
quantity consumed. Ie this not
logical and true? In this manner,
; prohibition, ; while it may not
prohib.it .absolutely, does con
tribute to.the. betterment of socie
ty and the elevation of humanity.
Winthrop Girls Won Vacation.
The Advertiser is opposed to the
granting of Christmas or mid-ses
' sion vacations ta the students of
the etate colleges. First, because
of the demoralization that is
wrought by these interruptions of
regular routine work. For several
weeks prior to, as well as for some
weeks subsequent to these vaca
tion seasons, the work of the
average student is unsatisfactory.
Second, because a large percent
age of these students are benefi
ciaries of the state, students who
are unable to educate themselves,
and consequently can ill afford
th? expense incident to spending
these vacations one or two hun
r.dred miles from the college. Mid
session vacations were not regard
: ed as a necessity a dozeu years
ago, and college life is not any
_jnore strenuous now than then.
.However, as the Citadel and
Clemson cadets are granted Christ
mas leave for ten days, it is hard
ly fair to discriminate against the
Winthrop girls. Upon the priucj
l pal of '"equal rights to all and
" special privileges to none" the
' action of the"legislature in grant
ing Christmas vacation to the
Winthrop girls was not aruiss.
Ssgietnates^Sign An Agreement.
The farmers of Newberry coun
ty have been greatly annoyed by
^having laborers violate their con
tracts. In one inBtauce a negro en
tered into contracts with seven
teen different farriers, mo6t of
whem-ms.de to him cash advances.
The causs for this unusual preva
lence of contract violation was
found to be due to tho fact that so
few viola tors were punished. When
a negro was arraigned before a
magistrate some farmer would
step up and:, go on his bond or
- :V pay him out. As a result the law
had no terrors to them. In order
to ?bate this evil,ali of the magis
trates of Newberry ba\e signed au
. ' iron-clad agreement not to allow
cases for vioiatiou cf farm labor
contract to be nol prossed or set-J
tied under any conditions or cir
cumstances,

A Tax Payer Protests Against Thc
Unsafe Condition of Clark's
Hill Bridge.
Mr. Editor: We aie not OD the
war path, Deither are we io a con
troversial mood, but we are actua
ted to write this through a sense
of feeli?g unduly neglected by the
members composiDg the board bi
county supervisors in not pro
viding for sufficient repsirs ou tb?
Clark's Hill bridge across Steven's
Creek to make the bridge passable.
We do not aek for an expensive,
high bridge but we do ask for aud
dumand a bridge thal will allow
us to cro68 the creek without ruu
uiDg the risk of life .to mao aod
beast, as is the caso at present.
This bridge has been for the past
three or four years a daDgeroup
trap. During this time several
promises have been made us by
these officials to rebuild thi*
bridge, but the time a?d money
seem to have beeo spent else
where, aod we -are today ?D a
somewhat pent up coDdition due
to this negligence.
Our mail is frequently a week
old, due to this conditioo of thp
bridge. We are forbiddeo to even
attempt to haul fertilizers or any
kiud of commercial articles acrosp
it aud we candidly express that
thp conditions here with reference
to this bridge does not reflect any
credit whatever on thpse county
officials.
Unless somethiug is doDe very
toon towards repairing or're-build
iog V.?H bridge there w-ill be a
strong effort made to kuock the
starch out of their garmeuts and
put those iu power who will give
us our promised dues. We go ap
promptly as aoy other sectioD of
citizeos and give up o ir barf'
earned cash lo the public fund
and we ?D returu ask for that onl>
which justly beloogs tc us. Thf
writer has volunteered to person
ally superioteod the work, free of
charge. We hope and trust tba
i his matter of a bleediug shame
as it DOW stands will be promptly
looked after in amauner that will
allow us to cross the creek with
?eas-. nable assurance of safety.
Very respectfully.

He was I he second sen of Mr.

a bright, lovable child, always so
attentive and anxious io hear
about his Sunday school lessoL.

Great Teacher has promoted him
to a Higber-Scbool:
A short, time before he died he
said: "I am going to die", aud en
deavored .0 comfort his grief
.-trickeu parents by saying ''Don't
be afraid," and sang in a clear,
sw^et voice the beaut.ful song,
.'There's a home far away where
no darkness ever comes," with the
chorus, "There. I'll be waiting,
waiting, waiting for you".
May" the God of wisdom and

Dangers of a Cold and How to
Avoid Them,
nore fatalities have their origin
?lt or result from a cold than from
any other cause. This fact alone
should make people more careful
as there is no dunger whatever
from a cold when it is properly
treated in the beginning. For
many years Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been recognized as
the most prompt and tiTticlual
medicine in use for this disease.
It acts on nature's plan, loosens
the cough, relieves the luug3,
opens the secretions and aids
uature in restoring the system to
a healthy condition. Sold by G.
