Ederefield Advertiser J. L. M IMS. - - - EDITOR I TERNS: ONE YEAR ll-?O SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18. 1907. Sloth makes all things diffi cult, but industry all easy; and he that ri seth late most trot all day? and shall scarce overtake his business at night; while laziness travels so slowly that poverty ?soon overtakes him. FRANKLIN. Better nurse thal measly, frost, bitten cotton. Unless all eigne * fail, the.staple will command a high price lexi fall, and the man whomaktB a big crop will be in the "swim." .-" Capt John G. Capers has not been h nging arouud the Repub lican pie counter in vain. A big, juicy slice-iu the form of a six tbousand-dollar job-came bis way the other day. It ie reported that a militia company is marching from Rich mond to the Mamestowu exposi tion. Let the Edgefield Riflemen take conragH from the foregoing. They may yet be able to see the great show, even though this year's appropriation be denied them. Unusual Action of Grand Jury. The Advertiser would like to know upon what law ur precedent the grand jury of Richland coun ty acted when it recently found "no bill" against the county dis penser who was $1,500 short in his accounts, and who coniessed the shortage. Will somebody en lighten us? By this act the grand jury of-Richland county has, in ^effect, ??said to dispensers of the county^ ?Tt?rlay establishing the precedent, to the dispensers throughout the state: "If things X go wrong in your dispensary and you are delected, you can make good the shortage and notbiDg more will be said of it." This is not winking at crime, but it is tantamount to at least a tacit encouragement of wrong doing. Cost of Light Plant. During the past five years, much has been said about the advisa bility and inadvisability of in stalling water and electric light plants in tho town of Edgefield. In the-absence of any accurate or well founded estimate, there has been a wide difference of opinion as to the actual cost of installing such plants. In supplying water for two towns of the same size there-may be a great difference in the cost, owing to the source from which the water is obtained, but in generating electricity for two towns of the same size there should be but little difference. Therefore, we give the actaal coBt of putting ting an electric plant in the town of Bamberg, a town of a few hun * dred population less than that of . our town. According to a publish ed statement Bamberg's light plant cost $16,820,30. It is sate to say then that a plant that would ?meet the needs of this town, scat tered as it ia over a larg? area .would , coat something like seventeen or eighteen thousand dollars. - ..Uncle Saxa" and " Yellow PeriL" Dr. R. J. Willingham,, chair man of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptists, in a ser mon in Augusta on Sunday last, mada the following significant statement that contains food for thought and reflection: / "Our great nation is doomed to perish by the hand of the heathen hordes of Asia, unless we send to them the saving gos pel of Jesus Christ. What could our armies do against the five j hundred million Chinese and I Japanese trained in the arts of modern warfare as they are now being trained? The only salva tion for this country is to give them Christianity." It is a singular co-incidence that the paper that announced the foregoing warning from Dr. Wil lingham also contained a dis patch setting forth grievances of j the Japanese and containing threats of war unless suitable -reparation is made by the United States. The dispatch gives to the world the following statement from a Japanese who is high in authority: "The persecution of the Japa nese in San Francisco is a most wicked action. Should diplo macy fail to bring about a solu tion the only way open lo us is au appeal to arms. Our mind ie firmly made up. It is certain that Aciorica will yield, for its people are radically ommer , cial m their sentiment." Just how much there ie in the present disturbance of the hitherto peaceful relations existing be tween America and Japan, we do not know, bat one who has been a student of . history aud a close observer of tho treud of affairs during the past few years is forced to admit the timeliness and gravi ty of t)r. Willingham's clarioo warning. "Uncle Sam's" easy vic tory over Spaiu has doubtlass caused the old gentleman to be a bit puffed-up and to esteem him self just a little more highly than he should. Had Admiral Dewey attacked a Japanese instead of Spanish fleet in Manilla harbor he would have been unable to give that famous command, "Twenty minutes for breakfast!'* In a struggle with the Yellow Men-Japanese and Chinese "Uucle Sam" would doubtless be victorious but be. would exclaim with old Sherman, "War is h-H." fourrent Xsomment. It may be said to the credit of the automobile that it will kill a millionaire with the same im partiality that it will kill a pau per-which caunot be said of tho criminal law courts.-NewB aud Courier. . Booker T. Washiugtou has leased a summer home three miles from the President's residence at Oyster Bay. We suppose now he .will be able to return the hospi tality once extended h im.-Atlan ta Journal. "It is very easy lo see," said a Chesterfield papa to his wife, "that the baby takes after me. He is bald as I am, his eyes aro like mine, Jie . resembles me in feat ; ores"-"and he," also cuts in his wife, ?s tho kid set upa ho vi for his noouday meal-"he goes for his bottle about as often as you." "Papa" had business up-street right away.-Chesterfield Adver tiser. Ever so many newspaper men will be in Charleston next week. They have a great deal to do with making public sentiment iu South Carolina, and Charleston wants to "get next" to South Carolina iii all things that will promote the welfare of the State and of this city. HencevalJ the latch strings in town ought to be huug on the outside when the newspaper men come to town.-News and Courier. There occurred in the recent paet the death of an aged minis ter in Kentucky, and probably the oldest in the country. He was ninety-six years old, and since a young man had been a minister of the Gospel, preaching the entire time at his home church. It is a remarkable fact that he never re ceived one cent of pay for his ser vices to the church.-Greenville News. c. ? 7 If the south could control the price and sale of her cotton crop, get rid of the burden of pensions imposed by the national govern ment and stop the flood of insur ance money that goes outside of ? her borders every year this section would be the richest on earth in a few years. We are beginuiug to see something like day light in the first and there is a dawn of hope in the third, but the second be comes a greater ard greater burden ?every year and is likely to out weigh all the good we may get from the other ' two.-Florene Times. How to Kill Your Town. Fight on the streets. Oppose improvements. Mistrust public men. Run the town down to strangers. Go to some other town to trade. Refuse to advertise in your I home paper. Do not invest a cent; layout [your money somewhere else. . Be. particular to discredit the motives of public spirited men. Lengthen your face when a stranger speaks of locating in your town. If a mau wants to buy your property ask him two prices for i t. If ho wants" anybody's else, in terfere and discourage him. Refnse to see the merit in any I scheme that does not exactly bene fit you. x Run down your newspapers Tfilk in the barbershops and loafing places, of how bad times are, of how everything and every body is going to the "demnition bow-wows."-Ex.
