Edsref ield Advertiser JT. MIMS. - - - EDITOR TERMS: ONS YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1907. If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An invest ment in knowledge always pays the , best . interest. ? FRANKLIN. . The crop of "sweet girl gradu ated' seems to be quite prcniisiog io ?pite of the April frost and ice. May has appeared upon the scene wreathed iu smiles. Let us hope she will make amends for the naughty cocduct of April. The only "proof" that those who witnessed the emptying of the contraband liquor can testify to, is that it was fir9 proof. It would "outen" fire about as quickly as water. Distillers and liquor dealers are making some very liberal adver tising offers but none ot ?hem tempt The Advertiser, our col I umns being closed to advertising matter of that class. . In some portions of Georgia a cotton-seed famine is reported. Thousands of acres of cottoti was killed by the cold, and many far mers are fiuding it difficult to ob tain seed for a second planting. Five gallons of water-pepper concentrated-lye-tobacco-juice-al cohol alias blind-tiger-liquor w* re emptied into the street on Moo day, with another installment soon to . follow. Thanks to the Carey-Cothran law. The old farmers of to-day tell us about the enc w that killed the cora in April or May of 1849. Fifty years hence the old people will tefl of the cold April of 1907. In the northwest snow storms are laging now just as if it were January. The Lexington Dispatch and the Bamberg Herald are among the recent converts to prohibition. These estimable journals are now advocating the voting out of the dispensary in their respective counties. The Advertiser extends the "right-hand of fellowship" to these brethren. Despite the;Jacl_thjajLf?^rgj9?s ~~Tlme and seam ' never to lack for material, South Carolina wants no such enterprise*. In Augusta, by . the superior court of Richmond . county, thirty-five marriages were annulled on Saturday last. Unless Cupid bestirs himself the divorce rate of Georgiu may exceed the marriage rate. It's a difficult matter to keep soul a?d body together these early spring days. The gardens afford practically nothing and chickens are just out of the shell. Edge field hasn't even a bakery to lighten the burdens of the house keepers. Therefore, the average tri-daily menu is literally "hog and hominy," with a little "cow" added occasionally for a change. Io view of the fact that whiskey has caused much human blood to be unlawfully spilled upon Edge field's public square in the gory days of yore, it was peculiarly gratifying to see au officer of the law empty five gallons of the dam nable stun! on the same public square on Monday. Better have a lawful spilliog of whiskey than for it to cause the unlawful spill ing of human blood. - j Hurrah for WorFord college I A < member of the student body of < that splendid institution carried i off first honor in the State oratori- j cal contest that was recently held \ at Greenwood. This honor was a awarded to Furman last year. 8 These annual contests not only 6 encourage a development of ora- J torical talent among the college b boys of the state but lead to a e wholesome rivalry araocg the col leges along other and mere praiseworthy lines than brute force athletics. I " ci E It has fallen to the lot of the writer to travel up and down this ? broad commonwealth to a con- m .iderable extent, both in search of cj business and pleasure, and with but an attempt to flatter the good people, of this section it can be j g truthfully said that we have never seen a lot ot people that equals those of our county -Orangebarg g6 Times and Democrat t-( Brother Sims,. evidently, has j8 never visited this section. Had he ever traveled "up and down" Ti Edgefield county, the foregoing or 1?D&8 would never have been p?n ned SB they are. Botter Stay on a Farm? The writer'was riding in a bug gy ? few day a ago in company with a young mau who ie working every day on his father's* farm. The young man had his dreams, tor in the course, of ^conversation he told of his desire ta be a phy sician. He is a bright young fel low, and " has attended school enough to havs laid the founda tion for a college course. Finally he said: "What do you think of a boy's chance on the farm?" The answer was, "Good, very good, if he will go about t> bea leader; if he will take an acre of grouud and make it grow more pea-vines than an acre ever grew before, he will be doing something thatisaltogeth9r worth while." The young man replied: "That's so, and it^ is such a free life, even if the work ?9 hardV Several things have conon to mind since that conversation ; tbe sumptuous country dinner, for one thing. It was a dinner of tender turnip salad, baked wild duck, baked chicken, eggs, butter, but termilk, creamy biscuit, canued peaches and cake, i np way these were some cf the articles on the table in that country home. And it was good ! All of it was good. It is impossible to forget to bring in the question of good, whole some food, pure water aud pure air in this questiou of staying on the farm or of leaving it for the life of the physician. Better stay on the farm. lu the long run it will afford more real contentment j and a better living.-Union Times. Ofourrent I Xsomment. I The most impressive peace speech that has been made in modern times was that of Sena tor? Sherman consisting of three words, when be said "War is hell."-Saluda Standard. The wholesale clearing of wood lands by saw mill operators and cotton growers is. telling on tbe crops. Wherever early corn has been -protected from the cold winds by timber belts it looks well, wherever exposed planting over has been necessary. The sweeping winds, loaded with sand, have been more injurious than the low temperature.-Barn well People. - The lest of successful govern ment with some is bow much mi ney comes into the public treasury through dispensar iee. The test with others is how much money stays in the pockets of the people through prohibition. It is largely a question between drun kenness and public revenue on one hand and sobriety and indi vidual prosperity on the other. N^bejry-jObserver.__^_:_ I The coroner of^Bichland coun ty need make no apology for hold ing a material witness in a mur der case, however inconvenient it may be to the witness. A $500 bond seems small ; no bond should be accepted if there is belief it is given to be forfeited. It is time every officer of the law realized the stern obligations of bis office. He is to discharge his obligations without fear or favor. He knows no persons, and is in no way re sponsible for the predicament of those that violate the Jaw.-yThe State. About forty homicides have oc curred in Cherokee county since its organization ten years ago, a?d its a fact worthy of note that tbe first person to pay the death pen alty was a white mau who was a native of the county. This is not saying that others should not have been convicted, but it's a healthy sign that the juries of the county have arrived at the point where they are showing a proper regard for the rights of its citi zens. Surely this will be a lesson and will cheok the flow of blood in this county.-Gaffney Ledger. A man who does not love his work, official or otherwise, and who does not conscientiously put his whole heart and soul into that work, is unfit for that position or calling, regardless of tho salary paid him. Honesty to one's self, ind honesty to the public COD fi- j ience demands true aud earnest jffort. With the exception of ju rors and witnesses, no one, in this |* ree land of ours, is conscripted nto any kiud of public ^rvice; 1 ience much of the t? "bout ? mall salaries, indulge % occa- 1 ionally, sounds a li ttl? inconsist- t nt. The man alwajs seeks the ' ffice or position.. The position 8 oes not run itself out of breath t unting for the mau.-The Bossi- v r Banner.' Exposition Rates. Very low rates to Norfolk.
