The reports that are current about tho Elkins corn at Ridge Spring have interested and en thused many persons to the point that they are going down to see it with their own eyes, and esti mate it with their own judgment. That three acres will produce 500 bushels of corn-more than 165 bushels to the acre-seems in credible to many. And yet, ac cording to seemingly well au thentic*''- 1 reports, that is the es timate placed upon it by corn .'experts." Let's all go down to see it and beg a s'alk to bring home as a souvenir. Commissioner Wat son will have to tell those farmers in tbenorthwest about the Elkius corn. Rev. J. T. Littlejohn'^ Meetings. The aunual protracted meet ings to be couducted by Rev. J. T.

Gough to assist him for two weeks, but will now have to get some one to tafee the place of this faithful worker, whose sudden death is mourned wherever be is known. High School For Red Hill. While in The Advertiser office on Monday Rev. J. T. Little john informed us that an effort will be made to establish a High School at Red Hill under the re cent act of the legislature. As soon as the matter assumes a more definite shape, petitions will b? circulated asking the county board of education to order au election. The citizeus of that sec tion of the county should to a man support this movement. Such a school established at Red Hill would prove to be not only a blessing to the present generation but to many generations that will follow. Mr. T. P. Morgan Elected. As waB expected, a largo crowd came to Edgefield on Saturday last. Some were attracted hither by the Cotton Growers' conven tion, others .came to meet with the' Farmers' Union organizers, but most of the great throug came to vote in the cotton weigher's elec tion. Thera was a total vote of 543. Mr. T. P. Morgan headed the ticket with 130 votes. Mr. Clarence Talbert received 8 votes, J. W. Cheatham 91, W. E. Lott 79, W. L. Holeon 93, W. E. Ouzt? 83, and Lewi? Stevens 59. There was of course much interest mani fested in the election by the can didates and their - friends but there waa no feeling. So far as the election was coucorued, perfect harmony and good order prevail ed amoug the very large crowd. Rates of the Music Depart ment of the S. C. C. /.

Tompkins has a "brag patch" of twelve acres of cotton that is creating a lot of talk. He is saying very little him self but those who have seen it are telling others about it. Eigh teen bales from the twelve acres is the estimate placed by some. Mr.Tompkius says the secret of his success with this twolve-acre field can be told in ono word, "cattle." He says that it is con siderable trouble to look after feeding stock but that when you put cow stall mat.ure under a crop you will get results that are satis factory. Let more people adopt the Tompkins plan of growing cotton-a bale-and-a-balf to the acre. Hussar Picnic FinancialSnccess. In spite of the fact tbat.it was the second large function of the kiud to be held in the county this year, the picnic of the Edgefield Hussars was a financial succeps, as weil as being a success from every other standpoint. Cel. S B. Mays who bolds the purse 8tringsof this company, told The Advertiser's representative that the gross receipts were $316 and the total expense was about $260, leaving a balance in the treasury of $56. Tbn is a splendid showing for the compauy and reflects the excellent management .' of . its affairs. Expense of Present Crop Less Than Last Year. While all agricultural imple ments are high and everything 1 bat enters into the making of a crop has advanced, it is generally conceded that the present crop bas beeu cultivated at a much smaller outlay or expense . than was the crop of last year. This is due to the thorough preparation of the soil before planting and to the favorable conditions that have pievailed during the past tbrf6 mouths. Mr. John M. Mays told us a few days ago that he has this year cultivated with twelve plows the same land that required six teen plows last year. This repre sents a twnnty-fivfi per cent de crease in band and orse power. And the most gratif/ g part of it ip, along with the creased ex pense will be a gi increas3 in yield over that of . year. Scholarship in Naval Academy. Barnwell, S. C., July 29,1907.

W. E. Ouzts. Number of Independent Farmers Growing. Some years ago it was exceed ingly rare to fiu-1 a farmer who could hold ouecrop of cotton over until the next crop was mada. But under the improved methods of farming the number of inde pendent, farmers is increasing. Mr.'R. T. Strom-who ?B nomi nally a Greonwo?d county man but in reality an Edgefield man told us Saturday that he sold some cotton laut week that was two years old. In fact, there is cotton at his houst- four years old. If the favorable .conditions con tinue until the- present crop is harvested, scores and hu?drads of farmers will be added to the in dependent hst this fa41. Man Proposes, God Disposes. / No truer words were ev?r Spo ken than those of Tboma/e A Kempis: "A3an proposes, but?God dispos?e." Some time ago (Rev. John 0. Gough accepted au invi tation from Rev. Mr. Littlejohn to assist bim in the annua,l pro tracted meetiug that begins at Rehoboth church on Sunday next, and but little more than a week ago this faithful servant of God accepted an invitation from Rev. P. P. Blalock to help bim in ,the meeting at Berea this week. But ou the day that Mr. Gough would have gone to Berea, and one week before he would have gone to Rehoboth, his mortal body was interred iu the cemetery at Johnston. In laying his plans to assist in these two revival meetings, little did thia faithful steward Tealize that he would be called home before '.bose plans were executed or carried out. Lanham Spring Picnic. The brilliaut record of the Edgefield Hussars remains un? broken. In war times this histor ic old company, composed of the flower of Edgefield manhood, made a record for its distinguish ed service, and in timas of peace its great social acbievemejts have added to its prestige. Thc thirti eth aunual picnic was held on Thursday, August the 1st, and the very excellent manner in which Capt. N. G. Evans and his men engineered everything per taining to this great function is being commended iu the highest terms. The deportment of the large crowd was perfect, and the foast that was spreal at the noon hour was princely, fit for a king. The baud that had been eugaged from Augusta to furnish music for the occasion WUB late in ar riving but this was no faull of the members of the compauy. However, by taking up the dance at double or quick time and con tinuing later in the afternoon, the loyers of the Terpsichorean art were fully s&tisfied with the day's pleaeure. From every standpoint the Hussar picnic has been pro nounced a great success, Newberry College Re-union. The annual re-union of stu dents, ex-students and friends of Newberry College of Saluda Edge field, Aiken and Lexington coun ties will be held at Delmar, Salu da county, on Friday, August i(Jth.

Dear Brethren: Inasmuch as we celebrate the Centennial of the old Edgpfield Association at the approaching session, on account of its central location, it has been represented to the Ex ecutive Board that it would proba bly be best to hold this session of the association at 'he county seat. As this arrangement is agreeable to the pastor and members of Mountain Creek church, where the association was to have -been held, and as the church at Edgefield has in conference invited the as sociation to meet with it, your Executive Board have deemed it advisable to make the change, and therefore the ensuiDg session will be held at Edgefield. It is very important in view of the fact that we are to celebrate the Centenni al of our existence, that unusual preparation should be made hy the churches to crown our efforts with success. It is therefore im portant, that all of the commit tees should be prepared with full reports, and we .trust that each church and each committee will make careful preparation, in order that all the exercises may move harmoniously to a successful end. As there will be some extra ser vices in connection with the meet ing, the minutes of the session will be more voluminous than they usually are, and I therefore earnestly request, that all of the churches shall send up for min utes a liberal contribution. We expect distinguished visitors from abroad, and of course we must pay their expenses, and it is the ear nest request of the Executive Board that the churches should send up an extra fund with which to defray the expenses of these visitors, and we sincerely hope that no church will overlook this important matter.'A review of the history of the old Edgefield As sociation for the past hundred years, will certainly be full of in terest, aud should inspire us 80 to lay our plans for the future, as to make the work of our fore fathers result iu mon general and more systematic p'ans for the great work that rests upon us. The recollection of what our fore fathers have done, the grand op portunities of the present and the in8piriDg thought of what uuder God's providence can be done, should lead us all to more united andmore devoted efforts in the great' cause in which we are en listed. Then let us expect great thiuga from God, and let us un dertake great things for God. Fraternally, 0. Sheppard, Moderator. Endorsed By The Country.

Broad water passed away at his home on Wednesday night, July 31st, and the interment was made at Har mony cemetery on Thursday. Dr. C. E. Burts conducted the funeral services. For many years. Mr Broadwater was a member of Harmony church. Prior to four years ago when be was stricken with paralysis, there was no more active man m the county than Mr. Broadwater. He managed his large farming inter ests with signal success. Agri culture had been a life study with bim and his efforts were abun dantly rewarded. Since the afilio tion was visited upon him, Mr. Broadwater has come to our town only occasionally, being unable to leave bis buggy wheo he would drive in. His familiar face and hearty band clasp have been greatly missed by his Edgefield friends. Mr. Broad water's demise causes another break in the ranks of the Confederate veterans. He wai .a gallant soldier during the four years of the Civil War, having been a member of company B. Butler's brigade. The deceased was a member of the Masonic fraternity and his body was laid to rest by bis breth ren of that order. Mr. Broadwater is survived by three brothers and four sons.
