?dfirefie?d Advertiser J. 'Xu- MIAIS. - - - EDITOK TERMS: ONH YEAR * $1.50 SIX.t?QNTH? : 75 WEDNESDAY, DEC. 12, 1906.

The public printer is greatly vest. Tho he had lopt off maDj troubles coramou to the craft, he has thru the spelling reform had others heapt upon him. Between -the sessions of congress the Presi dent si i pt in a new method of | spelling all White House docu ments, and now congress has stept iii and stopt its use in print . ing its records. The public print er is wofully mist and says he wants to see the methods fixt. On the first of December there were 36,194 rural delivery routes . in operatioD, with 2.200 petitions for the establishment of routes pendiug. The major portiou of the routes now in operation are in '?. the densely settled portions of the north and northwest. The sparse ly settled' south, where they are most needed, has, comparatively . speaking, but few free delivery > routes. South Carolina has only 569 rural delivery routes. The ginuers' report issued on Monday by tho census bureau places the number of bales of cot ton gi nu ed to December theist at 10,025,445, against 8,689,663 for the same time last year. Of this number South Carohua with her 3,104 ginneries has ginned only 770,244 bales, while Texas with 4,176 ginneries has ginned 3,256,545 bales. Notwithstanding the boll weevils and high-priced labor, Texas will make about one third ot the entire crop. In order to handle the increas ing volume of business with greater dispatch and relieve the congestion that exists all over the country, the railroads, so experts . say, will have to increase their track- facilities. The yards in many places are'filled with load ed cars that cannot be moved promptly because the side-tracks cannot accommodate them. In creased rolling stock is not the greatest need, because the gigan tic modern frieght engines can pull thirty^ forty and fifty cars, owing to the grada. The railroads .will gradually improve their equipments to meet the new con ditions, nut it cannot be done in a day. Raw hides, leather and all leather goods aro higher at this time than for a number of years before. A traveliug man, who is tn position to speak with authori ty, told th9 writer a few days ago that leather had advanced 25 per cent since August. Shoes, saddles, harness, etc., have already ad yanced, but just watch them go yjet higher. It is alleged that the packers are holding back about .'one-fourth of the supply in order to force the price up. This, and the increased demand for leather, accounts for the advance. A large quantity is said to be consumed making * the modern leather post card. The immigrants who have re . ce?tly come to this city to make their home seem thoroughly satis fied, and without exception they are proving themselves good work ers. They are the kind that this country has long needed and needs more to-day than at any other time in its history. Keep up the good work, Mr. Watson.-Chester Lantern. Such encouraging reports from the new-comers, as the foregoing, make Edgefield county loug for a whole ship load of them, i. e., s - desirable class. In some section? of the county one can travel for miles without seeing a white set - tlement. On the Ninety Six road for a distance of five oi six mile* only one or two white persons re side. The same is true with thc public road leading weet of Edgt field. The old couuU and count} seat would take on new life were all these partially uninhabited sections peopled by a thrifty, fru gal, intelligent class of peoph. The country schools would bf strengthened, waste lands reclaim ed, unimproved lauds developed, the amount of taxable property increased and taxes correspond-, ingly decreased.. There is no enumerating the advantages that Fonld accrue through the influx of a desirable class of immigrants. COLD SPRING. The next union meeting will convene with the Antioch church the fifth Saturday and Sunday iu this month. The weather being cold, there wae a general hog killing in our community last Friday and Sat urday. Rose Cottage is well sup plied with back-bonts aud spare ribs.

On Saturday afternoon the sad tidings reached Edgefield tbat Mr. Lewis P. Covar bad di^d in Oraugeburg at the home ,of his son, Mr. R. H. Covar. The re mains were brought to Edgefield on Monday afternoon and on Tuesday morning placed in the village cemetery beside the last resting place of loved ones gow before. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Marvin Auld from the Methodist church, of which the deceased was a member. Mr. Uovar's death came as a great sheck, for his Edgefield friends and relatives did not even Know of his illness. He was seized with pneumonia and, having pre viously had several attacks of that dread disease, was unable to resist its ravages. Mr. Covar joined the Confed erate army at the tender age of fifteen and served faithfully.till the close of the war, having en listed ia company D, 14th South Carolina regiment. At the battle of Chancellorsville he received a wound that maimed him for the remainder of life. Duriug the seventies he was elected for two years to the office of Judge of Probate of Edgefield couiity. For severalvyears Mr. Covar had resided in Orangeburg but had nover lost his love for the Edge field people and Edgefield's soil. He was never happier thau during bis visits to,our town. Mr. Covar ?B survived by two sisters, one brother, three daughters " and three Bons. Some Ele tho dist Assignments. Owing to the fact that the read ing out of the assignments was held over by the Conferonce until after the committee which inves tigated the charges against Rev. C. W. Creighton made its report. The Advertiser was unable to give the assignments in its last issue. Rev. Marvin Au4d and Rev. J. W. Ariail were returned to Edgefield and Johnston, respectively. Rev. J. E. Strickland was sent to Phoenix, a?d will serve McKen dree and Mt. Carmel also. -Rev. R. R. Doyle was sent to Parks ville. Rev. G. W. Davis to Or augeburg- circuit; Rev. M. M. Brabham to Leesville, a?d Rev. A. B. Watson to Beaufort and Port Royal. Rev. H. B. Browne has succeed ed Rev. J. S. Beasley as presidiug elder of the Columbia district. The Cause of M any Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing !n this :ountry most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it - heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are ofter, the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs or the iddneys themselves break down and waste ?.way cell by eel!. Bladder troubles most always result from l derangement of the kidneys arid a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys, if you are feeling badly you ;an make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great ?kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
