) seventy-two yeare of age. All t
of them are natives of Edgefield j
county and have known each t
other from the early days of child- f
hood. Mr. Nicholson was one of t
the groomsmen at Mr. Mims' mar- j
riage and Dr. Timmerman was ?
one of the attendants upon Mr. ,
Nicholson's wedding. It would be (
exceedijgly interesting and en- j
tertaiuing to sit and hear these .
gentlemen, while in a reminiscent .
mood, chat from their rich store
of experience and other observa
tions of fifty years ago. One gen
tleman remarked that he would 3
give five dollars to sit and hear
this trio talk of old times for one
hour.

some who are superstitiously in

of his duty. Sheriff .W. G. Ouzts
emptied 16 pints and three quarts
of contraband "licker" on ihe
public square on Mouday. A por
tion of it was of the ''Horse Shoe"
brand, which this time bore ill
luck to the man or tiger that pur
chased it. Sheriff Ouzts also
emptied thirteen quarts at John
ston on Saturday.
Came Home to Spend Honeymoon.
Mr. Floyd Davis and his charm
ing young bride stopped over in
Edgefield on Saturday and Sunday
while eu route from (Jouuellsville,
Pa., to the borne of Mr. John B.
Davis near Richardsonville, where
they will spend a portion of their
honeymoon. Mrs. Davis, who was
Miss Lucy Orr Lowrey, has been
a resident of Connellsville only

ed in Kentucky, where (next to
South Carolina) the bestand most
beautiful women in tho world are
to be found.
Handsome Sum Realized From
Peaches.
, Col. S. B. Mays told The Ad
vertiser's representative on Sat
urday that , he will realize $200
from 600 peach trees. Besides
selling a considerable quantity of
peaches upen the local market,
be shipped sixty-odd crates to
Charleston that netted him about
$165, the price ranging from $2
to $4 per bushel. We asked Col.
Mays why it was that his peaches
survived the cold while fruit
everywhere else was killed. He
said that he could no . explain it,
and that he did nothing to pro
tect it. In portions of his orchard,
particularly on the most elevated
pla i^B, there are no peaches.
Good Wishes Attend Him.

fore Sam will be firmly estab

we hope for two reasons tnai our
young friend has not turned his
back forever upon Edgefield. In
the first place we do not waut to
lose him, and in the second
place it is almost an open secret
:bat losing him will also cause the
083 of one who is very fair and
*e'l beloved.
Cemetery Being Cared For.
For some years the village
cemetery, be it said lo the shame
)f tho towD, was very grievously
neglected. But since it was taken
in charge by the cemetery associa

his work bas been very marked

The Military Ball.
The ball giyen in tho opera
house on-Thursday evening under
the auspices of the Edgefield
Rifles has been pronounced a
great success, financially ?8 well
as socially. There wece seveDty-odd
couples in attendance besides a
number of onlookers. The compa
Dy made about forty dollars after
paying the baud and other inci
dental expenses.
? Financial Success.
By dint of good management,
the Dragoons had the sum of
$47 left in their treasury after
payiug all expenses of the Centre
Spring picnic. The gross receipts
from all sources wore $398.93 aud
the total expense was $305.93
This left $93, but of this amount
the members of the company paid
$46 by way of assessments. So
the actual net proceeds of the pic
nic were $47. Considering the
great amount of work, worry and
anxiety that is connected with
the management of so large a
function, the profit is really very
small. The net profit is not only
very small but there is always a
possibility of a loss.
"Day of Pleasure and Edification."
In his letter of July 21st to the
News aud Courier, the Edgefield
correspondent, Mr. S. McGowan
Simkins, makes the following
notice of the. annual meeting of
the Citizens' League which has
been called for Monday next:
"The annual meeting of the
Citizens' League of this county,
the purpose of the organization
being the promotion of good citi
zenship and the enforcement of
law and order, will be hsld at
Edgefield on Monday, the 29th
inst. The chief feature of the oc
casion will be an address by New
berry's gifted and distinguished
son. Lhe Hou, George B. Cromer
Others will make addresses and it
promises to be a day of pleasure
and edification."
Too Rough and Tough for Him.
Mr. James Stevens, th ? young
est son of Mrs. Ida Stevens, ie at
home for a season of rest. During
the past six months James has
been a member of au engineering
corps that has been engaged in
surveying railroads. They began
in South Carolina and went north
ward through North Caroliua aud
are now in the heart of the. moun
taius of Virginia. James likes ac
tive, out-of-door life and was de
lighted with his work uutil the
corps went up against the "moon
shiners" ofVirgiuia. He says they
are the toughest proposition iu
the form of human beings that he
ever saw. They have neither fear
of God nor regard for mau, and
take greater delight in shooting
any on* suspected of being a reve
nue officer thau they would in
killing a rabbit. James says he
doesn't mind wading creeks,
scaling mountains, crawling
through cane-brakes and briar
patches but he will draw the line
when it comes to invading the
haunts of the- "moonshiners."

Charleston College Boys.
I Two Edgefiold boys, Alfred
Covar acd Jamie Peak, were
awarded scholarships in the Char
leston college. The Advertiser on
gratulatee these two young gen
tlemen upon their good fortune.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
people in upper South Carolina
kuow but little of this institution,
it is one of the best in the state.
.Being handsomely eudowed, the
Charleston College has a very able
faculty and the standard of the
institution is high. These young
gentlemen will leave for Charles
ton abou.t September the 25th.
Quarry to Close Down. ?
The quarry has not been op
erated with a fulL force for some
time, and having filled all con
tracts the owners have now deci
ded to close down indefinitely.
Mr. Ross recently bid on eeveral
large contracte but the awards
were made toother parties. A man
will be left in charge of the work
and will run the pumps to prevent
an accumulation of water in the
excavations so as the owners can
begin work at any time in the
future without having to remove
millions of gallons of water. The
quarry pay roll, especially if
operated to the full capacity,
would greatly increase the volume
of busiues* of our town during
the summer aud fall. However,
let us hope that a full crop of cot
ton at a full price will "even up"
matters. '
Dr. Child Captured Edgefield.
To say that Rev. Dr. R. A.
Child captured and captivated
Edgefield during his visit is only
oxpressiug it mildly. H?B rormon
iu the Methodist church OD Sun
day morning from the text, "Ye
must be boru again," has been
prouounced by many to be the
ablest discourse ever delivered in
Edgefield upon that subject. It
was simple, logical, forceful, con
vincing. Dr. Child is richly en
dowed with a very logical and
well disciplined mind, which en
ables him not only to expound the
scripture and discuss any subject
intelligently but most effectively.
He was born and reared near Old
Cambridge in *his county, and
practiced law very successfully
at Bickens, S. C., for sixteen years
before entering the ministry.

says: It never fails to give im
mediate relief and to quickly cure
a cough or cold. Mrs. Paine's opin
