. L. BUMS, - - - EDITOB TER WS: ONBJYEAR $150 . SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, AUG. 7. 1907. Law and equity are i things that God hath Joiaea I together, but which mao had I put asunder.-COLTON. VMHMBflastiSSBMn If politicians are ineligible as members of the State Board of Education, the chairmanship of said b?ard should at once be de clared -vacant. Governor Smith signed the Georgia prohibition law on yes terday. And it is believed that the good resulting from this meas ure will not be oonfiaed to the region south of the Savannah. The small fire that recently f- caused one of the state officials to assume such a white heat suggests to onp's mind the trite old saying that "a little pot is soon hot." An Endorsement. The editor of The Advertiser has received the following com munication from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union- of Edge-field, with the request that it be published: Mr. J. L. Mirna, Edgefield, S. C. Dear Sir: The Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union has in structed me, as its secretary to express, to you onr appreciation . of, and to thank you for the stand you take upon the liquor ques tion. Most especially do we refer to "your excluding from your col umns advertisements of wboleeale and retail Jiqnoi h ou se s. Very sincerely, Mrs. W. L. Dunovaut, Secretary. July 23rd, 1907. We are deeply grateful for this ~ expression of appreciation aod endorsement of our staud upon the liquor question, especially when the source from which it came is considered. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union it composed of about fifty high minded,*zealous, Christian women and a dozen or more representa tive men, the latter being honora ry members. The writer has always, private ly and publicly, endeavored to? curitail and euppress the use of intoxicants. Therefore, believing thai; advertising wiiskey would contribute to an increased con sumption, we have stoutly refused to advertise intoxicating liquors j for anyone at anyprice. As long . as the present editor is at the helm, the^policy of this newspaper j will remain unchanged. The foregoing communication will stimulate and encourage us to still greater activity in our efforts to curtail the use of intoxi- j cants in Edgefield county. Enthusiastic Meeting. Good Talks Slade Upon the Needs ol Edgefield, Particularly Bet ter Railway Facilities. A goodly number of citizens gathered in the court house on Friday morning to take steps looking to the improvement of ?he railway facilities of Edgefield. Mr. Wm. P. Calhoun was made temporary chairman and was urged to accept the permanent chairmanship but declined to serve, owing to ill health and the demands upon his time. Mr. B. E. Nicholson was elected perma nent chairman and Mr. S. McG. Simians, Secretary. Hon. W. A. Strom and Mr. S. T. Williams were present in the interest of the proposed electric] road to Greenwood. The latter: says he will contribute 100 acres j of land. Mr. M. B. Sturkey was present to look after the interests of Plum Branch. He said his people are exceedingly anxious for a rail road to be built from Pl nm Branch to Edgefield. As prgof of j their interest, these good people will contribute $10,000 and secure sufficient contributions along the proposed route to grade the road. Talks were made and the dis cussion was ODgaged in by Mes srs. W. P. Calhoun, A. S. Tomp kins, J. C. Sheppard, A. E. Pad-J gett, Gen. M. C. Butler, J. W. DeVore, S. T. Williame, S. McG. Simkins and others. There.are four proposed roads. One from North Augnsta to Edge field ; a second from Edgefield to Saluda and Newberry; a third from Edgefield to Greenwood and still another from Ecg-field to Plum Branch. No particular route will be selected until some infor mation can be bad as to what aid and co-operation will be offered by parties living along the proposed routes. Mr. Sheppard stated that he recently had a conveisation with Mr. Sullivan concerning the building of the electric road from Andersou to Belton, and the cost of grading and placing ties, etc., of that road was $22,000 pnr mile. Il is estimated that the cost of a road through this county would be something like $15,000 per mile, j The) following resolutions, in troduced by Gen. M. C. Butler j were unanimously adopted: Whereas, in the opinion of this j ..""? ' ?

A vacancy having occurred on the State Board of Education from the second congressional district, Governor Ansel appointed. Hon. John C. Sheppard to fill the place. The appointment, however, failed to meet with the approval of Su perintendent of Education O. B. Martiu the chairman of the board. In fact, he became so incensed over uot being consulted concern ing the appointment that in a fit of madness he wrote Governor Ausel an insulting letter, for which he apologized later. Mr Martin raised no objection per sonally to the appointee but con tended that soms one from among the teaching profession should have been chosen. In the interest of harmony and in order to avoid friction and un pleasantness between the mem bers of the board, Mr. Sheppard wrote Governor Ansel declining to serve. The following being a copy of his letter: Edgefield, S. C., August 1. 1907-The HOM. M. F. Anael. Columbia, S. C.-My Dear Gov ernor: When I received your favor of the 25th instant, in which you did me the honor to iuquire if I would accept an appointment to fill a vacancy on the State board of education, I did not hesitate to write promptly that I would cheer fully acquiesce iii your wishes, for I believe it to be the duty of every good citizen-and among "good citizens" I expect tobe numbered as loDg as I live-to discharge any public cufy to which he may be assigned, if ho feels that he i& qualified to reuder efficient service. "But I notice in tho papers this morning that yuur action in the matter is displeasing to the State Superintendent of Education, for the reason as expressed by bim that he regards 'the appointment aB political rather than educa tional.' "Without taking the pains to discuss the merits of the objection thus Btated by the Stat?? Superin tendent of Education, I write al once to relieve your Excellency from any embarrassment in ref erence to the matter. "I would not be willing for any consideration to be thescause of the lack of harmony in any de partment to the public service especially in connection with matter of such overwhelming im portance as tho educational in terests of tho State; nor would " be.willing to servo in any capaci ty with auy official who feels that the service that I might render would by possibility seriously in jure the work of bis department "I, therefore, respectfully re quest your Excellency to recon sider your action and revoke the appointment. "Thanking you again for the honor conferred I remain with great respect, yours very truly, "J. C. Sheppard."' Wbeu it became knowo that Mr. Sheppard had declined to serve, the members of the Edge field bar, realizing that Mr. Shep: pt?rd would mtike au active and very useful member of the state board, met and adopted the fol lowing resolutions, urging Gov ernor Ansel not to levoke the ap pointment: "To his Excellency, M. F. An sel, Governor, Columbia, S. C.: Whereas it has come to the knowl edge of the members of the Edge fi-dd Bar that Ex-Governor J. C. Sheppard has been duly appriot ed by year Excellency a member of the State board of education and, "Whereas we are informed that Governor Sheppard has requested your Excellency to revoke said appointment, and, ? "Whereas we, ihh members of the Edgefield Bar, recognize the high character, integrity and ability of nur distinguished citi zen and brother lawyer, and know ing that his capacity and ability eminently fits bim for the posi tion to which vou have appointed bim, now, therefore be it "Resolved by the members of the Edgefield Bar, in meeting as sembled, That we most respectful ly request that your Excellency do cot revoke said appointment. M. P. Wells, Secretary, J. W. Thurmond, Chairmau. Mr. Sheppard, for reasons set fqrth in the above letter, still de clines to accept the appointment, ' r TfliHiflE A"f?1 will have to iee to fill the va The Limit of Life. : The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally ac cepted limitation of human life is many years below the attainment possible with the advanced knowl edge of which the race is now pos sessed.

FARMERS' UNION, The Promoters and Organizers of The Farmers* Union Delivered Addresses. As previously announced. ?ha mooting of the farmers was held in the court .bouse on Saturday morning, and on motion of Mr O. D. White, Hon. J. W. DeVore was elected chairman of the meet ing. Mr. 0. G. Goodwin, of Lau rena was first called upon to de liver an address in the iuterest of tho Farmers' Union. This orgaui zation 8rst saw the light in Texas, in which state it has a member ship of 260,000. The total mein bership south of the Mason and Dixon line is 1,500:COO, with their numbers increasing at from 3,000 to 5,000 daily. Mr. Goodwin delivered avery practicaladdress setting forth the aims and object of the Union. Our limited space will Lot permit a report of this address at length. Suffice it to say that many figures f?ud facts were given that wereof vital interest to the farmers pres ent. Mr. Goodwin's address was well received. Mr. W. L. Kennedy, of Abbe ville^ the organizer for the Union, followed Mr. Goodwin. He talked briefiy-of tho Union's work and urged those present to comeinto their ranks The Farmers' Union and the Cotton Growers' Association seem4 to ba striving to achieve the same end but employ means that differ somewhat. The former ia a secret organization and does not admit any except farmers, while the lat ter is open, above board m all of its operation, and admits all classes and professions into its ranks. There are now five Unions in this county, and an effort waa made in the afternoon to organiz?' one at Edgefield but a sufficient number could not be found who would join. After several other Unions have bee? organized, -a convention will ha called. The date will be announced laUr. in discussing the Union with a number of citiznip, WM found that two objections an? r.tiiad, to wit : the p- cret ord-r feature and the exclusion of all classes or profes sions from t ieir ra iks who are not farmers.

Re-organization Effected and Plan of Work Outlined for the Future. The meeting in the court? bouse on Sa'urday morning last being devoted to the interests of the Far mers' Union, many who are in terned in the work of the Cotton Growers' association of tbis coun ty met on Saturday afternoon fer the purpose of re-organizing and taking steps to increase the mem bership. Mr. S. T. Will ?amp, ?vho has stood by the farmers and render ed faithful service since the or ganization was formed three years a^, stated the obj ct cf tl e meet ing Under the re-organizatim Hon. VV. A. Strom was elnctdd president, Mr. John M. Miyp, vier- president aud Mr. . J. L. Minis, secretary. A committee consisting of Mes srs. A. E. Padgett, S. T. William? and J. L. Mims was appointed to drm't suitable resolutions upon the death of the former vice-presi dent of th? association, Dr. J. B. Courtney. More than fifty farmers ard other citiz?ns enrolled their names as members of the association, and a goodly number bad joined at a previous meeting. Mr. Wm P. Calhoun was called upon aud spoke briefly of the great work that the organization is doing for the farming interests of [he south. Mr. A. E. Padgett was iicxc CBTreu-upuir -a mr x-^ru^ at length and more iu detail of the work of the Cotton Growers' Association in providing means by which farmers can coutrol the price bf their product He, very properly, laid great stress upon the importance of marketing the cotton crop during the Hntire year instead of during October and November. This can be doue by the erection of warehouses iu which cotton can be stored and money borrowed upon it. . Mr. Padgett condemned the practice of some some farmers who sell their cottou for future delivery. If the manufacturers can buy sufficient cotton before the marketing season opens to run their mille several months, they }f cou-se will not be eager for the staple when the bulk of it is mar keted and will not pay what it is vorlh. The man who sells his crop Defore it is harvested is doing his )rother farmer great injustice. Mr. S. McG. Simkins was asked o address the meeting. He ex cessed great surprise l.t. the lack >f interet-t on the part of farmers n those things that promote their welfare. He urged upon the far Oers, the necessity or* ftaudiug ogether at this time. Mr. Sim ons also emphasized the impor ance of having tb9 county thor >u#ily organized. Kr. Calhouu introduced a reso uthn providing for the appoint nen of a committee of fivo citi sensto take up the matter ot or jauiing the townships and to inprint a county-organizer aud au issisaut. In pursuance of this resoltion, whiob was unanimous ly adopted, the chairman ap pointd the following geutlemeu to sei') on said committee: Mes srs. A E. Padgett, S. B. Mays, D. BHoliingswortb, S. T.
