That Elkins Corn.
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

T. Littlejohn will bpgiu at Re

Antioch on the 4th Sunday. Mr
Littlejohn had engaged Rev. Johu
0. 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.

Mountain, ^fifteen miles from a

comforts and. luxuries than the
residents of the cities.
A Twelve-acre "Brag Patch."
Mr. James B. 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.

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,

To The Churches Composing The
Edgefield Baptist Association.
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.

0. Sheppard,

I Death ola Gallant Tc ?eran.
After a sojourn of seventy-one
j years on earth Mr. A. F. 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.
