1 Ed?ref ield Advertiser JT. L. M IMS. - - - E DITOR TERMS: ONYE AR ?> .$150 ' SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1907. What a desolate place would be a world without flowers? It would be a face without a smile; a feast without a wel come-Are not flowers the stars of earth?-And are not bur stars the flowers of heav en?-MRS. BALFOUR. It ie said that the trust will soon advance the price of spool colton again, and that it will yet be retailed for 10 cents per spool. South Caroliua judges and juries seem to be respecters of persons to tha extent tLat they eeldom show any mercy to safe blowers and pick-pockets. There are thirteen of this class of criminals in the penitentiary, and all of them are serving long sen tences. Since the demise of the old mother dispensary, the Richland Distilling Company continues to have a cinch in disposing of its products to her progeny, the coun ty dispensaries. - The Richland county board alon? has purchased about 400 barrels of sundry liquors from the Richland distil lery for the ?niuing quarter's supply. Holding court coutinuous'y is a great hardship on circuit judges during these loug hot days. After completing a six-weeks term in Columbia Judge Dauizler has gone to Camden for a term of two weeks, and after the expiration of that time he will come to Edge field for one week. Attention is directed to the program ot the annual meeting of the Citizens' League, which is published in this issue. The cropB being "laid by" and all farm work being practically sompleted, there should be a large attendance upon this meeting from all parts of the county. Do not miss hearing the address of Hon. George B. Cromer on this occasion. - Recently a disagreement arose between the town of Johnston aud the Western Union Telegraph Company over the amount of business license that was levied by the town council. At first the company refused to pay the li-j cense, but later paid it and closed the office. The railroad commis sion has been appealed to for a settlement of the trouble, and it is probable that the telegraph company will be required tb re . open tho office. There"are two distinct .classes of tigers in Charleston. One pur chases its supplies from wholesale dealers and the other patronizes the county dispensary. The mayor has declared war to the hilton the former class, which are regarded as arch-enemies of the municipal treasury, while the latter, if not promised immunity from the law, will be raided less frequently and i have lighter fines imposed upon them. If the cotton farmers will dis card the jute bagging and cover their bales with bagging made from cotton th:y will take a long step in the direction of their full independence. Will they do it? Orangeburg Times and Democrat The wonder is that the leaders and promoters of the Cotton Grow ers' Association have not advoca ted the use of cotton bagging. By using this form of covering for the staple, farmers themselves could create a demand for hun dreds of thousands of bales of their own cotton. The retail merchauts through out the north and northwest, something like 500,000 strong, are organizing to fight the great cata log houses. The moBt effective way for the local merchants to combat the mail order house is for them to advertise and attract people * to their stores, making their patrons realize that it is to their own interests to trade at borne. The merchant who buys dependable merchandise and ex ploits the merits of his goods al ways sells them. Has that not been your observation? Order to be Preserved. The Advertiser has been inform ed that the Edgefield Hussars are firmly resolved to preserve order at their annual picnic at Lanham Spring on August 1st. Three offi cers of the law will be on hand to suppress lawlessness of every form, whether it be a disturbance of the peace or, the illicit sale of liquor. Capt. Evans and his men are determined that the pleasure of the day shall not be marred or the prestige of the company in jured by disorder of any kind. AU right-thinking men will com mend the Hussars for this high stand. Prohibition Ably Champion The prohibition cause.in < fia i s championed by many c nost prominent, as well a jraiuiegt, men in the state, fohn Temple Graves SB a ver lent advocate of prohibition, in a recent issue of his paper Weekly Jeffersonian, Hou.

Clemson Trouble Still Discus In spite of the fact thal trustees of Clemson college i "whitewashed" or otherwise posed of the recent troubl friction between the comman< and the senior class, the ni papers continue todiscii63 it. Anderson Daily Mail, whosp tor claims to be tborougbl) miliar with conditions at Clea says: '.While we regret to say thero certainly must be e changes effected at the coll That is, provided the.college i be one of the high toned inst lions of learning of this state. The reputation and prestige Clemson have already sufL on account of troubles simila the "late unpleasantness," if the discipline of this inst tion is not more rigidly eufcr it will lose.casteamong the hig institutions of this and ot sta'tes. Next Legislature and Prohibiti The pending prohibition me ure iu the Georgia legislatun causing comment and sp?cul?t in this state as to what the n South Carolina legislature ? do. Iii many parts of the stat is predicted that the next legh ture will pass a prohibition me ure similar to the one about to enacted in Georgia. The Augusta Herald que Senator Tillman as giving utt ance to the following in an iul view last week : "Carolina is bent towards p hibition of her own motion, dependently of Georgia actii the people are planning prohi tion. They are disgusted w county local option and the d pensary. Not because of the wf of the dispensary plan. But 1 state coull not successfully wat one board of control. Then thi] boards of control can not watched. They have scattered t stealiug, and the people are r going to stand for either centr ized or scattering stealing. Tb are going to put on prohibitior A New Plan Adopted. There is but little doubt th Commissioner of Immigratii Watson bas now bit upon t right plan to bring a desirat class of home-seeking imn grants to South Carolina. He w through special agents and 1 distributing advertising matt induce the foreign element in tl Northwest to move to this sta and purchase homes. Already M Watson is receiving nearly ll letters daily. There are two strong points favor of the South that cannot \ offset by any inducements th the Northwest can offer. They ar climate and cheapness of laud Notwithstanding the fact that th major portion of the Northwest : visited with blizzards and covere with snow about one-third of th year, the land sells for somethini like $100 per acre. In this stat? with its mild climate and soi J that will grow almost everything j land can be purchased from $8 t I $20 per acre. Surely, if the matte is properly presented to the peo pie in the Northwest they can bi induced to come to this section. Edgefield county alone "could provide home3 for something like ono thousand families. Notice to Wheat Growers. I have just finished a new Coro and Flour Mill of the latest de sign.

Cooper were quietly mar ried by Rev. J. T. Littlejohn at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Sallie Bigham. Only the im mediate relatives and a few friends of the family were pr-sent.

The writer was prevented fren attending tho great annual pic nic of the Edgi field Light Dra guouo that was held at Centre Spring on Thursday last, but upon making inquiry among those who were so fortunate JIB to be present we learned that - the occasion was a signal Euccess. The crowd in the opinion of some was not as large as on for mer occasions, while iu '.he judg ment of otb'rs it was greater. Suffice it to say that there were a sufficient number present with sufficient funds about them to make the gross receipts of the company nearly $400. Represen tatives from three or four coun ties were there, and all-old and young, grave and gay-came away greatly delighted with the day of pleasure, fu? asid frolic. It mattera not how well dinner is served or how'bounteous the supply ou such occasions, there are generally a few croakers and chronic kickers who make com plaint^ but the writer, for one time, has not heard the. slightest objection raised to the dinner or the manner in which it was serv ed. On the contrary, we have heard much said in its praise. The music was furnished by a very skilled band from Augusta and, as heretofore, it came up to the high standard that was sst by the Dragoons years ago. In the years gone by Capt. Blocker and his men have had their fame go abroad as very courteous and obliging hosts but the picnic of 1907 ha3 added greatly to . the ^ prestige of the company. In many respects it eclipsed all former occasions. Citation. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF EDGEFIELD. By J.D. Allen, Esq., Probate Judge. Whereas, Mrs. Emma C.
