Mr. Vanderbilt will discontinue

The figures as given out by the
department of agriculture place
the yield of corn for the present
year.at 2,881,096,000 bushels or an
average of 30.2 bushels per acre
as compared with an average
yield of 28.8 bushels last year. If
Edeelield farmers could grow corn
that would average 30 bushels
per acre they would soon be roll
ing in wealth.
The income tax will put oever
al thousand dollars in the state
treasury .this year. Under the law
every citizen is required to pay
one per cant on all of that portion
of his income in excess of $2.500.

Resolutions Passed by The Wo
/man's Mission Society of The
Methodist Church. Upon The
Death of Mrs. Emma Auld.
.Whereas, m the dispensation
pf his divine providence, God has
removed from the sphere of her
duties on earth our beloved co
worker Emma Z. Auld.'aud where
as, we desire to give expresLion to
the love and honor in which she
was held by us during her life, as
well as to our sense of bereave
ment at her death, and the fond
reverence in which her memory
?hall always remain with us,
Now be it resolved:
1st. That in Mrs. Emma Auld
. our church had a consecrated,
faithful and zealous member, our
society a president entirely de
voted to the work of Christ, and
our community a noble, cultured
and gifted woman. In her church
life she was an active and effi
E cient member, above reproach. As
president of our society she stimu
Jated'and led UB to succees, and as
a.member of our community she
not only ministered to the needy
and nursed the sick, but uplifted
us by the dignity of her charac
ter, her culture and intellectual
force.
r 2nd. That in her death our
church and society have suffered
x loss that can only be sustained
by the kuowlodge that her inf u
ence remains, and shall ever live
and grow more beautiful. Each of
BS has lost a friend whose heart
was warm and true, and whose
memory shall ever help ud to fol- J
low in the path of light where shs? (
lias walked. ?
3rd. That we extend to her be- *
waved children and family our
sincere and heartfelt sympathy,
and assure them. that as she was *
.ur friend, faithful and true, so c
shall we be their friend, united ?
by ? sacred tie..tbat. can never be t
?evered. t
}'lj4\b. That a copy of these reso- c
lutions be inscribed in the min- o
utes and published in the couuty o
papers, and that aoopy be sent to f
her. family by the secretary. f

PHE CTHRYSAX :1HEMUM FAIR.
V Very' Brilliant Success-Very
Creditable Exhibits-Delightful
Social Event-Good Sum
Realized.
Early in the year Dr. CE.
Burtp, seeing the unkimpt and
neglected condition of the village
cemetery, conceived the idea of
holding a floral fair in the fall in
order to raiBe money with which
to improve the cemetery. His sug
gestion was timely and met with
an enthusiastic response from a
number of ladies in the communi
ty who immediately organized the
Edgefield Chrysanthemum KBBO
ciation. It wa'i in this way that
the agitation of chrysanthemum
culture and the holding of a fall
fair began. From house to house
the chrysanthemum fever spread
like contagion, subsiding at times
for a season ouly to burst forth
later, with increased intensity.
Neighbor seemed to vie with
neighbor as to who would order
the greatest variety and greatest
number of plants. Florists nor'b,
south, east and west received large
orders from Edgefield, Berckmans
nursery being soon exhausted.
The interest and enthusiasm
were still more intensified by the
announcement of the list of valua
ble prizes which were donated by
some of Edgefield's very generous
merchants, as well as some from
other sources. Each grower, of
course, hoped and expected to
win not only one but the entire
list of prizes. And it was this
hope which caused many an
erstwhile indifferent florist to be
very dilligent in feeding and water
ingand fondling their much petted
plants.
Finally the day for holding the
fair-November the 9tb-was an
nounced. Then it was that anxiety,
suspense, and what the lawyers
call "mental anguish", set in.
Every contestant was confident of
victory, yet they were all a little
apprehensive and nervous because
of the reported size aud beauty of
the flowers of Miss or Mrs. So
and-so.
Very Creditable Exhibits,
Tbe committee of arrangements
was promptly ou band Friday
morniug .to re?oive aud place th?
exhibits in their proper places as
they were brought iu. When the
great crowd of people arrived tbey
w?re amazed, astounded and en
raptured by the beautiful scene
that greeted their eyes. Nobody
expected te Bee so large and variprf
a collection of fine JJc^r^p^ftow
er8 ^^^Hc^&^e.,, One of
tQ?ff?fa has said that "Leaves
.L!ave their time to fall and flowers
to wither", but great is the pity
that such a3 these should ever
wither. They bear the marks of
Divinity and to gaze upon such
flowers causes ono to reflect upou
the Master's Hand that created
them.
Never did any one dream that
it was possible for Edgefield soil
to produce such tremendous and
perfectly formed flowers, this, too,
in the face of very adverse con
ditions and inexperience of the
growers.
Don't Believe Them.
Some* ^dayp ago great tales of
woe could be heard on every hand
because of the damoge done to
chrysathemums by the cold. And
a3 we Btood feasting our eyes
upon the lovely flowers on Friday
we could not understand why such
8Utement,8.aa^Le^^Jbad'j
accountable reason
the words ot the .Psalmist
said in my haste, All men are
JiarF," and we thought that David
should have said also that "All
women (chrysanthemum grow
ers) are liars." Next year when
you hear any grower of chrysan
themums-either male or fe
male-say their flowers are not
worth looking at, don't you be
lieve a single syllable of it.
Splendidly Managed.
Everyone was impressed with
the very excellent manner in
which the fair was managed in all
of its details. At times some little
confusion may have been in
evidence but it was due chiefly to
the crowded condition of the
court house. The various contests
were all fairly and impartially
conducted. There being no names
upon the exhibits, all prizes were
awarded by numbers. Consequent
ly it was impossible lor any one
to charge that partiality or fa
voritism was shown.
Floral Designs.
The entries in the contest of
designs were not so numerous ae
many supposed they would be. It
is probable that a greater number
would havo been on exhibition
bad it not. been for the flowers and
time that were consumed in deco
rating a dozen or more baby car
riages for the parade. There were
only four designs in tbe contest: '
A. crescent, by M?B. E. S. John- (
jon ; a floral basket, by Mrs. E. E.
Adams; star and crescent, by
Mr. Asa G. Broadwater and an '
mchor, by Mrs. Abner Broad
water. The last two named were
?xcecdingly beautiful' and won
5rst and second prizes, respect
ively. This contest should be '
nade especially attractive next '
rear, so as to iurluce those to ?
inter who may not be fortunate
mough to grow large or prize
winning flowers.'
Capable, Conscientious Judges.
The members, of the association
were peculiarly fortunate iu se
aring so competent a committee
>f judges to iuspect the flowers in
he several coutests and award
he prizes. The committee was
?ompo8ed of Mrs. John W. Miller,
if Trenton; Mrs. P. B. Mayson.
?f Edgefield; Mrs. Minnie Mil
ord, of Anderson ; Mrs. Charles
!\ Peschman. of Johnston, and
?apt. E. H. Folk, of Edgefield.
?rs. S. T. Hughes, of Trenton,
vas also invited to be one of tbe
udges but was unable to be pr
?pt. All of the judges, heine not
m ly well versed in flower lore
)ut themselves very successful
"rower?, were eminently fitted for
:he .difficult task tbnt waa as
signed them. Cap*. Folk with his
faultless tape measured those red
and pink and white and golden
balls with the precision and ex
actness that a gunner finds bis
range wheu in che midst of a
deadly naval battle.
Decorated Carriage Contest.
The eclipsing feature ot the 02
casiou was the contest in which
a prize was awarded for the most
beautifully decorated baby car
riage. Tue committee of judges
doubtless had difficulty in ar
riving at some of their '.leeitioiiS
in the fo?euoon but now they were
up against not only a difficult but
very hazardous preposition. For
tunately for them, this contest
came in the afternoon at the close
of the Fair, giving them an op
portunity to leave town before
the many disappointed mothers
and fathers and grand mothers
and grand fathers and uncles aud
auuts assaulted them with mur
derous intent. The little contest
ants, all of whom looked as if
they had jtiBt been transported
from Fairyland, wer*4 little Ger
trude Thurmond, Parker Talbert,
Wallace Sheppard, Luther Jou^s,
George Tompkins, Robert Ouzts,
Lanham Dorn, Lilian Pattison
and Eleanor Mime,- the last two
being awarded the first and nec
ond rrizes, rfsppctively. Little
Helen Elizabeth Nicholson and
little BomarBlalock arrived upon
the scene with th' ir very beauti
fully decorated carriages just as
the parade bad closed and the
prizes awarded. Their tardinps?
was generally regretted. All of the
carriages were very artistically
decorated, but especially beaut i-'
lui WHS that of lili]e Lilian Pat
tison wh.-) was a veritable little
Queen of the Fairies. Th? car-,
riage of little Eleauor Mims was
also very much admired, the
decoration* being the handiwork
of Mrs. Robert H. Mims.
! The Eazaar.
A very attractive a'.'d helpful
feature of lb" fuir, esJ>??Clally in u
financial way, wag the Bazaar.
The many useful and beautiful
articles that were displayed upon
the fancy-work t?bi?3 sold as
readily us if they had been 111 ?op.
the bargain counter oS^f^i':, r \
de\)*xun?^^ Tue' candy '
filter was also soon MU pty.
About three .o'clock in the lifter^
uooL the lady teachers and the
young ladies of the collage ar
rived with a tremendous b?>x con
taining little boxes of candy
neatly tied with ribbon. Low ?ny
and Huyler were dibtancec] by \h:i
S. C. C. I. baud-made bon boi,s
and chocolates.
Luncheon Served.
At the noon hour a delightful
luncheon, . consisting of salads,
sandwiches, ham, pickles, bread
and coffee, vas served. The lad ie?
piled their plates generously high,
giving every hungry wayfarer his
quartei's worth. After six o'clock
oysters were served. A noted writer
has said that "God seuds meat,
and the Devil sends cook*." We
are inclined lo believe that many
of the cooks in Edgefield are di
rectly under the dominion of his
satanic majesty, but he did uot
send the cooke on thi? occasion.
The oysters wera delightfully pre
^H?m ysif? good .cooka'asl
The Financial Side.
The patient, unceasing efforts
and the fond, hopes of the ladies
of. the association have been
crowned with fruition. The fair
was a success from every stand
point, but the most gratifying
part of it all was the financial
success. The ladies netted eighty
odd dollars which will aid very
materially, in beautifying aud
permanently improving the vil
lage cemetery. The fair has not
been without profit to some of th"
chrysanthemum growers ut least.
Nearly $100 worth of prizes, nil
valuable aud useful, were present
ed.
The Social Side.
Who-man, woman or child
attended the fair and did not en
joy it? Such an occasion brings
together neighbors and friends
from frr and near, and affords a
day of pleasaut and profitable so
cial intercourse. The Edgefield
sbr'ysauthemums "of every hun
and without a ihnrn" were not
'born to blusb unseen," for Re
hoboth, Trenton, Johnston, Har
mony and adjacent communities
For miles around were represent
ed in the vast throng that feas'ed
heir eyes upon them.
The Outlook for 1907.
Could the outlook for the sec
)nd annual fa?r possibly be bright
?r? Everybody has larger expe
dience and increaacd enthusiasm;
jen. Carwile has already stated
bat his geuerous company will
igaiu donate fertilizer as a prizo.
The louvt house was scarcely
arge enough tbie year and will
)e eutirely too small .for the fair
)f 1907, but Col. Bailey has very
tinclly offeied the collage to the
adies, which is an ideal place.
,et'p begin work now for the uexr
air by encouraging everybody to
jrow flowers. The culture of flo iv
ir? hap a wholesome and very re
ining influence upon ? commu
nty.
