Edffefield Advertiser J. L. M IMS, - - - EDITOB TERMS; ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX M ONT He 75 WEDNESDAY, MAY 22. 1907. f Break down Sunday, close I churches, open the bars and I the theatres on that day, and I where would value? be?-What ? was real estate worth in Sod I om?- WAYLAND. iel id ! id I at J The miuister who married the i?famt os Corey and the actress has repented and retumedlhe mar riage fee, but he cau't untie tho knot. And Col. Blease says he will make a fight next year for the re enactment of the state dispensary law. Not a corporal's guard will enlist under bis banner. Owing to considerable dam age to the unharvested crop, wheat continues to advance. Cotton and wh^at seem to be vieiDgwiih each other as to which shall be King. According to tue report of Dis pensary Auditor West, there are about 90 dispensaries in 23 coun ties of the state with gross sales during the mrnth of April of $207,656.57. The bankers and newspaper men of the 6tate will both hold their annual conventions at the Isle of Palms during Juue. Had they chosen the same date, it would have been a meeting of ex tremes-financial extremes. If a Clareudou farmer can grow 200 bushels of corn per acre aud a Greenwood farmer can realize more than $25,000 for one year's cotton crop, why should South Carolina farmers envy those of Texas or any other state? Co*ton is approaching thirteen .cents. Some -people are supersti tious about these two little fig ores, but we have never yet seen the man who objected fco roceiviug 1-3 cents for his cotton when that was the top of the markel. General Kuroki who is making a tour of tba United States has placed a wreath ou the tomb of General Grant. IB order to com plete this beautiful act, he should go a step farther and place a similar wreath on the tomb of Robert E. Lee. Sentiment in favor\)f separating the. races in railway coaches is growing all over the land. A negro brought suit for $30,000 damages in the courts of Maryland for being ejected from a coach under the "Jim Crow" law of that state, and was awarded a verdict of one cent. \ Newberry bas a new bakery, new bottling works and a Chinese laundry. New enterprises spring up so fast that one cannot keep track of them.-Newberry Ob s?rver. Would that ?re could chronicle such news concerning our town. And we could, if our business men would arouse from their lethargy. About the only new things that the Edgefield papers can announce is the arrival of new born babieB. The postmaster General Las is sued an order to the effect that after July 1st, a "special delivery" stamp will not have to be placed os? a letter in order to insure its fc immediate delivery. If the words "Special Delivery" are written upon a letter aud ten cents worth of stamps of any denomination, in addition to the r?gulai postage, are placed on it, the letter will be handled and delivered just as if it bore a regulation "special delive ry" stamp. Augusta has two bise tourist hotels that have paid handsome ly during the last season. And just how a tourist hotel makes a dividend for twelve months by three months of actual operation ?3 difficult to understand. Suppose a cotton mill with the same amount of capital as hotels of this class should shut down ?ine months in the year. Why, tb? net earnings would not pay insurance and taxes. Not many years r.go machinery of ail kinds ol manufacturing en terprises was ru-ting out insta ir! of WParing out. Mills would fhn' down during the dull months of the year. But now there are nu dui! months. Ali idea of the ne - ent great demand for til* mtnu fuctured products can bo gained from tn? fact that a knitting ni 1 tba.t is being erected iu North Au gusta ha.- already sold its frst y?-?.-f'? out-} ut. Why woaid not a kniting mill pay as hand^mely in Edg fiVld as in North Aupus ? . . Deserters Receive Pensions. Sine? calling attention .to the fact that Spartanburg'e pension roll ontained names of unworthy and underserviug men, we have read the following in a Spartan burg paper: ''Last week we were informed that there were three desert?is from ou3 company drawing pen sions and one of Ih^m war getting $96.00. There are several women on the list whose husbands have died in service, but they married afterwards and are now widowB for a second time aud thpy are drawing. Then men and women from other states, whose record is not known here, sent blauks to their former homes and got their panera signed and they are draw tug." The idea of a deserter receiving I$96 from the pension fund! Un less th3 boards over the state are aaore careful in passiug upon and approving applications from pen sioners the roll will become HO large that the pittance uow doled lout to deserving veterans and widows of veterans will be very greatly reduced. Let the present rolls be purged of deserters. S. C. C. I. Commencement. The 1907 Commencement Has Been Largely Attended and Thor oughly Enjoyed. The music school of the South Carolina Co-Educationai Insti tute has become tho alma mater of a number of graduates, but probably Miss Corrye Poore why gave her recital tn Tuesday evening of last week may be con sidered the most brilliant pianist gjing out from the school The re cital delighted the audience throughout, and theEdgefield peo ple were only sorry that Miss Poore could not remain in Edgn field, and give to our town tbe benefit of her taleuts Being a senior she bids farewell to Edge field at this commencement asa student, leaving a record of most faithful and thorough work dur ing her three j ears student lite in Edgefield. Graded School Exercises. Thursday evening the children of the gradad school were preefed by a packed audience to enjoy the Operetta prepared by Miss Nico les and Miss Dicks for this occa sion. The principal characters Mattie Pattison, Eloise Lake, Wil liam Ouzts, Francie Sheppard and Benjamin Greneker and Aldrich Cheatham, Helen Tillman, Thel ma Bailey, and Glover Tompkins, carried off many honors. The other fairies aud guomes did what was expected of them and looked pretty graceful, odd and quaint as the occasion required. This commence ment of the graded school is al ways one of the most attractive evenings of the season, aud was no less so this year. Oratorical Contests. Friday evening was the occa sion for the annual oratorical con tests. The evening's entertainment was happily interspersed with music. A vocal solo by Miss Grace Frier, who bas already won the golden opinions for herself dur ing her stay iii Edgefield; a quar tette by Misses Attaway, Grace Frier, Sadie Mims and Royal Peak ; a solo by Miss Ellen Mc Kie, another quartette by Misses Nadeene Smith, Maysi?

EvauB and Hon T. G. Talbert. The members pf the Freshman class contesting for the J. C. Sheppard medal were James L. Taylor, Elliott Simkins and Jas. L. Boles. The judges bestowed compliments on all three of the young men, but awarded the med al to Elliott Simkius. The judges were Messrs. J L. Mim?, W. H. Turner and W. E. Lott. Capt. N. G. Evans since th? school has been established in Edgefield has offered a medal each year to the best orator in the Sophomore class. Cadets Walter Black. R. R. Humphreys and M. Gary Satcher became aspirants for this honor, aud did credit to themselves. The medal, howevei, was presented by B. E. Nicholson, Esq., to M. Gary Satcher, the other judges being A. S. Tomp kins, Esq., and Capt E. H. Folk. Exercises on Snnday. The baccalaureate sermous de livered in the college are always heard by large and interested au diences. Sunday morning was no exception. Dr. James H. Thorn well of Foi t Mill, a Presbyterian minister of" distinction, preached sermon full of tenderness and beauty. One man in the congre gation remarked afterwards, "If I could bear a sermon like that very Suuday I would be a good man." The music of the occasion was good, especially a vooal solo by MIPS William?. -'The Lord i my Lij>hf and my Salvation." Sunday i vein ug Dr. Th>rmv?d HR invited to preach fie sermon bef. re the Y. M.
