Edgefield Advertiser J. lu MIAIS. - - - EDITOR TERMS: ONE YEAR $150 SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, MAR. 14, 1906. Lotus carefully observe those good qualities wherein our ene mies excel ns? and endeavor to excel them by avoiding what is faeltgr and imitating what ls ex cellent in them.-PLUTARCH. George Hasty's downfall was due to whiskey, pistols and fol lowing the leadings of his baser nature. Recently a youug negro who was hanged in Greenville warned hie people, in his state ment upon the gallows, against the evil of drinking liquor and carrying pistols. The fato of these two men Bhould bo a warning to the risirg generations of both racee. --- j The very great amount of inter est that is manifested in the' Chrysanthemum association, j which already assures the success of the undertaking, shows what can be accomplished through per sistent agitation of a given enter prise. If our leading business men would come together and begin the agitation of certain much needed enterprises, keeping per sistently at it, the result would he the founding of the enterprises. The establishment of one enter prise will lead to anethor and an other. Why not make a beginning? Wofford college will not publish an annual this year on account of a disagreement and friction be tween two existing factious in the litudent body, those who are mem bers of fraternities composing one . faction and -those who are not members composing the other. ^Wherever fraternities have exist ed among students there have been cliques and counter cliques that have ?iven rise to discord. Wofford will have to do as other colleges-stamp out the fraternities-before perfect har mony can be restored. .In a case from Augusta, Ga., it was recently held that a street fair or carnival, including the usual booths, side-shows, spielers, etc., is a public nuisance. This will be good news to citizens of towns who have been annoyed by so-called carnivals. It did not, however, re quire a decision of the supreme court of Georgia . to brand the street carnival as a public nui sance-it has been that all along. -Charlotte Observer. Even at this season of the year carnivals are in full blast in some of the towns of the state. We will hardly have another in Edgefield, .however, for one sufficed to con vince the-majority of our people that they are great ndisances. The superintendents of educa tion for the counties of Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry, Saluda, Edge field and Greenwood held a con ference at the latter place last week to arrange for a district sum mer school for teachers instead of holding a school in each county as heretofore. Col. F.N. K. Bailey attended the conference as the representative of Superintendent Byrd. A distrct school is prefer able to the county school but it is very difficult to devise a plan that will be equally advantageous to all of the counties concerned, and unless this can be done the sever al counties will not pledge their support to a district school. As the time approaches for the plows to start and the farm ma chinery generally to be put in operation the labor situation has become more acute iu .every part of the state. A great many farm ers who failed to eecure their ?suai number of hands at the be ginning of the year entertained the hope of employing them in the early spring, which they are now unable to do. On account of this scarcity of labor a greater number of boys have bten taken from the high schools and colleges than ever before. The farm work cannot, 'be carried on without their assist , aDce. The sessions court adj turned on Thursday last and Judge Hydrick left immediately for his heme in Spartanlurg. Instead of returning to bold the Civil court this week and next, he telegraphed Clerk of Court Cogburn to adjourn the court sine die. Acting upon the advice of his physician, Judge Hydrick will at once undergo a surgical operation, hence his in ability to return. The petit jurors anda number of, other-persons were promptly on hai?d Monday but returned to their homes. Clerk of Court Cogburn requests us to announce that the jurors for the third week need not come to Edgefield on Monday next. Judge Hydrick will hold an extra term probably early in the summer, after the press of farm work is prer, -v-:: . ?'. ; .;., . GRAND JURY REPORT. . To His Honor, D., E. Hydricl Presiding Judge at March Teri of Court for Edgefield Couut} S. C: We, the Grand Jury, have pas? ed on all indictments hauded cu to us and reported to tho Coui our findings on same. At the sug gestion of the Court, we agar call to the attentiou of Magie .trates of our county the law ri quiring them to make returns b the Clerk of Court of ali record! warrants aud bonds in crimiua cases heard by them, at least te: days before the beginning of eac term cf court. Alteution was call od to the failure ou the part o magistrates to do thi? by the las Grand Jury, and as it seems tba reminders by Grand Juries avai nothing, it might be suggests that it is up to the Court's offi cers to see that the law ie com plied with. The following committees bav been appointed from the Grant Jury to sorve for the year in th? discharge of duties devolvin upon the Grand Jury. Cou D tv Poor House-A. J. Mob ley, F" M. Warren and B. E Smith. Chain Gang-A. B. Broad water, W. T. Kinnaird, J. E. Lor ick aud L W. Reese. Roads, Bridges and Ferries Walter Cheatbam, A. B. Frank lin and J. C. Shaw. Bonds of County Officers-S B. Mays, N. M. Jones and A. J Mobley. Books and Accounts of Cour Officers-N. M. Jones, S. H. Man get, B. R -Smith and A E. Pad gett. Jail Court House and Offici Buildings-P. J. Coleman, J. C Shaw and J. Jacobs. The committee on bonds o county officers have examined tb< records in office of Clerk of Cour and find that all of the count} officers have on record good anc sufficient bonds in the amount re< qured by law. The committee on Poor House reports that it has visited thc county Poor House and farm du ring this session of the Court anc find no great change in numbai of paupers. The land belonging to the county for Poor House and farm has been inclosed by woven wire in order to keep the public from trespassing on the premises and cutting off timber. Every thing around the Poor House and farm seems to be properly attend ed to by the Steward, showing tbat he is attentive to the pauperp. This committee, however, begs to insist Ibat the county must build new houses for the pampers. The prnsent bouses have almost rotted dowD, aud aro such low ?lens that they cannot be made sanitary homes for the inmates. They state that they have seen the County Supervisor, and that he has : promised that he would build new houses within the next few months. The lumber-to build iliese houses\ eau' be sawed frepa the timber on the county . Poor House lands. We are glad to note the promise of this much needed convenience and necessity for our county poor, and we ask that the committee on Poor House see that the promise of the County Super visor be made good. The reports of other committees will be made at the August term of court. The Grand Jury desires to re turn thanks to His Honor, Judge Hydrick, to the Solicitor and to other officers of the Court for the assistance rendered usiu the dis charge of our duty at tftis term, and for all the courtesies extend ed to us. Respectfully submitted, A. E. PADGETT, Foreman. March 5th, 1906. . Sago of Clark's Hill Slakes Urgoat Appeal For Better Bridge Across Stevens Creek. Mr. Editor: It has been some time since old "Sol" made his ap pearance in your columns. I write to let you know lhat something is doing. We are busy planting our fru t trees. Our orchards number from ten to twenty five thousand trees. We shipped last year thirty car loads of fru it J" Mr. W. S. Middleton has a lot of peach seed planted for June budding and has set 17 or 18 thou sand June buds for next year's piauting. Land will bring from ten to one hundred dollars per acre. We are hemmed in by the gre* t Savannah on one sjdeand Stevens creek on the other. And are in need of a -bridge across Stevens creek seven or eight feet abov . low water mark. The one there is not more than ene foot and in a very dilapidated condition. We know that we are laughed at when we ask for anything. The politi cian will tel] you it will not bene fit morn than a half dozen. Let's see about it. Clark's Hill is the distributing point for the mail of Colliers and Collins township. It ia some times ten days that Faifa, Colliers and Cold Spring cannot get their mail fiom here. There are a number of farmers in two or three miles who cannot get their freight, sell their seed, ship their cotton or get guano here. They have to haul from Augusta, or ten or more miles to the depot Washington personal and real esti te returns are $278.410. If the vote hunter will examine a little he will see that more than halt dozen are interested. We are nt t asking for a steel span or ev n what we are entitled to, just a half loaf. There are some, if the creek should get full and they had to cross, would have to go twenty five miles. Anything done for us will he appreciated by a long suffering people. Success to tbe Advertiser. SOL. Clark's Hill, 8. C. Maroh 9th. 1906, COLD SPRING. The many friends of Mrs. George Doro of Faifa will be sor ry to bear of her extreme illness. All hope of hr-r life has been dip pared.

We hope for his speedy recovery. Rev. Mr. Peeler, of Parksville, visited Mr. Tom Brown yesterday Mre1. Bodie is qaite sick, havii g been sick for several weeks. Mr. J. H. Bussey tells us that the fruit in our community is not hurt as yet. The grain crop promises to bf very fine. If our farmers wou'd plant a large crop of corn, pnap and potatoes the price of cottoi would stay up, but it looks now aB if there would be a large crop of the fleecy staple planted. Mr. Bob Moultrie told us that he aud his brother D-m Moultrie had a contract to build a negro church near Parksville that would cost near tbree thousand dollars. Rose Cottage is very pretty since it bas been p<iint<-d white, trimmed with gray and green blinds. Mr. Walter Holmes visited Mr. Kim Holmes of Rebohuth las'. Saturday and Sunday. Mr. 0. J. Holmes sent a largf load of wood to Rose Cottage last Frid-'y. Mrs. H. H. Smith sent us some nice fresh spare-ribs and buck bone some dave ago. Many thanks. ROSE COTTAGE. Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. ! All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities bi the blood. If they are sick or out ' of order, they fall 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. li you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctorin| ; your kidneys.
