<j. I*. MIMS. - - EDITOR TERMS: NB YEAR $1.50 MONTHS 75 !WEDTTESDAY, MAY 8, 1907. Cautiously avoid speaking: of the -domestic affairs either of yourself or of other people. Yours are nothing? to them but tedious gossip; and theirs are frothing to you.-CHESTER FIELD. . 'OD to Columbia'' The ebadee of Sherman dly attend the re-union. ? will lothing strorgerjtban Congaree iter will be officially dispensed the veteraus this year. Instead of living upon hard tacks and water, the old Rebs are feasting upoD the fat of the land this ?reek. God bless th?m, noth ing is too good for them. The annual encampment of the Citadel will be held this year OD tho grounds of tho Jamestown Ex position. Thet'graduation exercises will take place in Norfolk on June 27tb. During this week thousands of ] old battle-ccaired veterans will with bared heads and tear-be di co rned eyes gaze io admiration upou the Btatue of the immortal Hamp ton. It would be the part of wisdom for the Columbia officials to arm the old Confeds with muskets and let them put to route the murder ers and highwaymen that infest the suburbs of the capital city. _ On acoount of the unseasona ble weather, a third planting of cotton will be necessary in por tions of. Louisiana. Lark a areas in Mississippi .will also have to be replanted. Sef d are very scarce, with high prices prevailing. Owinj? to the ioferior quality of cotton, seed, the season sooD to close has not been satisfactory withmiiny oil mills. The cotton seed meal of eight Georgia mills has been condemned by the agri cultural department of that state for being short of the percentage of nitiogen required by law. As there continues to be mucb talk olfa third term President Roosevelt doubtless realizes that '. he spoke in haste when he stated at his inauguration that he wooli not accept the nomination for an other term. However, all being j fair in Jove and war and politics, A way around this positive dec laration may be fou od. There is general regret through out South Carol i oa newspaper dom that the publication of the Fair fax Enterprise, which was found ed by Mrs. Virginia D. YouDg, has been discontinued. Since the death of Mrs. Young the Eater prise has beeo very brilliantly edited by Mrs. Sake D. Meehan. Thay say that druromere only frequent live towDS--towns ?D which there is something doing along all lines of business. Then, if th it be the standard by which towns are to be judged, Edgefield is OE e of the livest towns .in the commonwealth. Knights of the grip who sell everything from a oradle to a coffin, or from a pen knife to a steam engine,, flock tu this burg ID great droves. "Owing to the great dullness in police circles^the town council of Saluda has dismissed the police mer." The foregoing is from a dispatch from Saluda, and speaks volumes for the prohibition cause. In the proportion that the sale and and consumption of whiskey are reduced, crime and lawlessness are reduced. We have heard it said that it was not considered safe* .to visit the town of Saluda on public days while the dispen sary was doing business there. See the marked change under the prohibition dispensation. The immigration agitation ou thin side of the Atlantic is caus ing some of the old countries much concern, lest toey lose too large a portion" of their population. A bill bas been introduced in the Italian parliament making the emigration laws more stringent. Italy need not be unduly aroused, for immigrants from that country are-generally of an undesirable class and no special inducement? will 09 offered them to come to the Southland. Whatever renef comes to this section thrjug? im tion must ?-ome froin north Well Done! Well Done! The ladies wh> are working ;ivic improvement should rece the sincerest thanks of tho ent populace of Edgefield for the w< tvhioh they have so admirably I JUD in improviug the enclosu iround the monument and put nrell. These erstwhile nuken spots will soon blossom as rose, and be two beautiful oa in the Saaara-like public squj that shall call forth the admi lion of the folks at home as w as the strangers who come with our gates. Although they t tastes for the esthetic and e; for the beautiful, the ladies won not trust themselves iu the inii improvement of these encloeun They employed a landscape arel tect-a true-blue South Carol i ian-to draft the plans and self flowers and shrubbery m suitable for public parke. Th good women have made a splene beginning, and let nothing best of the work of their hands exc^ "Well done," "Well done." Pension Rolls Published. The Advertieer has been pleas to see tbat in almost every coun the list of pensions bas Leen pt lishad. This will give ihe peoj au opportunity of seeing wbett there ure persons drawingpeneio wbo are not entitled to share in t pension appropria'iou. Notnil standing the lapse of more th forty years since the war ploded ai the steady thinning of therauks pensioners on account of deatl the number of pensioners in S m Carolina has increased. This lea one to ?uspect that some of tl county boards are uot as caref as they should be-in preparing t cpuuty rolls. With an increase the number of pensioners there a corresponding decrease in tl amount that each receives. Tb?r fore, when boards grant applic Hons of persons who do net ue< state aid or who under the 'aw a not entitled to share in the pei sion fund, they take from" thoi who are deserving and actually i need. In all such cases, howeve the boards are not always ; fault, for the facts are doubtlei not correctly stated by applicant Should you know of any perse whose name is on the pension ro but who is not entitled to a pet sion,, report the matter to the pei sion bosrd.~ By performing th duty you will be rendering a se vice to the gallant old veterar and widows of veterans who ai entitled to pensions. Ideal Marlboro Farms. In a letter to The State,. Mr. ; E. Normeut, in his*u6ual happ style, gives a pen sketch of som of the ideal farms of Marlbor county, this state, which he ha recently visited. Messrs. Evaui two brothers, a number of year ago began farm life by rentin land. From the profits made wbil renting they purchased a tract am have added to it until they no^ own a lordly estate of 2.585 aciee Twelve hundred acres of this i under cultivation. "From their front porch," say Mr. Norment, "eau be seen 41J acres of cotton, and there is not i ditch in the entire field. The rowf are about one mile long and whei the harvest is passed and the sum mer is ended and the sheaves hav< all been gathered in, it is a pool season indeed when less than 40G bales of cotton have not been gar nered from this beaatiful lield." "It may be interestirg to knott that these scientists use annual!} more than 550 tons of fertilizers, and among these used are included nitrate of soda and Peruvian guano. Their last purchases of fertilizers included 55 car loads, enough for a seasons business with some wholesale dealers. From 680 acres in cotton they generally gather 750 bales. This season they will use 900 pounds of fertilizers per acre upon the cotton when planted, and in June 300 pounds per iicre will be added. These planters also have everything else grown on the farm, and always have corn and peas to sell, a fact the importance of which is seldom understood, but possibly it has much meaning upon the success of the large planters whoso work is here being considered." The foregoing excerpt from Mr. Norment's letter gives an insight into the farming methods, condi tions, etc., of a. portion at least of the Pee Dee section. The secret of the phenomenal success of the Marlboro farmers has been inten sive farming. The figures given above show that almost as much fertilizers aro applied to one acre in Marlboro-1,200 pounds-as is applied to Ihe avenge one-horse farm in this county. Wonderful Eczema Cure. "Oar little boy had eczema for five yetre," writPS N A Adams, Henrietta, Pa. Two of oar home doctors said the case was hope less, his lungs beingaffictei.J. W^ then employed other doctors, but no benefit resulted. By chanco w read about Electric Bitters, bought a bott'e aud soon noticed improve ment.

We are unable to break loose from th's conviction that the agi tation against, cotton gamblers has bad as much to do with high prices during the past few years as supply and demand. All the interests and all the influence of the predominating el em "at of the cotton ga ai biers has been III favor of low cotton and therre is no reasonable doubt that the colton exchanges, through their fuTur^ contract systems, have for years made cotton sell for less than ii was worth. Every cotton producer should war against the colton gambler.-Yorkville Examiner. It is little use for the local edi tor to waste his lungs and sprain bis spine in hying to boom a town when the citizeus all stand around with their bands in their pockets and wait for something to turu up. If tho capitalists or busiuees men do not put their shoulders to tho wheel and do a little boosting it is useless for the editor to try to boom things. Tie eau write "boora" articles until he gets bald-headed, but if the citizens themselves do not t;.k? hold and push the town will forever stick in the mud. Of what uee is it for the local paper to sug gest improvements and rew enter prises if the suggestions are uever acted upon? One man can not boom a town. It requires the con certed action of the citizens. When one man attempts to shoulder a town and carry it t h f re are alway* a lot of cranky kickers who are always ready to jump on top of the load. Unity of action is whet counts.-Fort Mill T.mes. MEMORIAL EXERCISES, May 10th. 1907. Veterans will procure lunch badges from Gen. 1. W. Carwile, Capt. W. H. Brunson or Maj. R. S.
