The Advertiser is always pleased when young lady teacheis who reside io the county Becure schools within the borers of tbje county.

He planted something over an acre and has sold, to this gentleman's knowledge, something liae $115 worth. How much moro than that we do not know. Mr. Ryan baa shipped t} points in Virginia and northern markets. Wheu Mr. Ryan undertakes any thii.g, he goes at it in a business like mauner, whether it be in growing tomatoes, cotton or com. An Error Corrected. In writing of the . oat crop of Dr. W. D. Ouzts last week, we stated that he had a portion of his oats thrashed and realized 238 bushele from 232 doz?n bundles. \Ve should havo stated that 838 bushels were thrashed from the 232 dozen bundles, which was a yield of H bushels per dozen. Dr. Ouzts had 16 acres planted that averaged 30 bushels.per acre. This was a very excellent yield, c-urpassiug all others of which we have heard this year. Exposition Party has Returned. Nearly every town in the state has furnished a merry, pleasure seeking party of sight seers for the 'Jamestown exposition but none nave tent out a more'eon genial party than the one which' returned to Edgefiold last week, being composed of Misses Madge Mays'and Mattie Mims and Mes srs Lovick Mims and Calhoun Mays. Besides taking in tho ex position and the many sights of historic interest around Norfolk, they visited Washington and other cities. Young people cannot spend their money to better advantage than iii traveling. Better that by far than spending it on dances and things of that kind that afford ouly fleeting pleasure and ab solutely no profit. Crops Around Cleora. Judge P. W. Cheatham, who is one of the most efficient magis trates in the state and one who oan bo relied upon to do his duty, was in town on Saturday, He says the crops aiound Cleora are exceptionally fine We asked him particularly " about the crops in tb9 hail-stricken section above Cleora, and he stated that they were very promising. The com of course stands an equal chance with any late corn in the county but a late fall will be essential to a good yitld from the cotton. The plant is in a flourishing condition and is putting on forms rapidly but time will be required to ma ture the bolls. All along we havp felt deeply for "those who suffered so heavily from the hail and we trust that they wiri be favored wiTh a late fall. I Improve Your Eye-sight.

Good Advice From Richard Carroll Recently in addressing a large picnic given by colored people in Spartauburg county Rev. Richard Carroll, the negro leader in the state, gave his audience the fol lowing good advice : "Don't drink whiskey; drink pure wate. Don't drink coco-cola and sarsaparilla; drink 'Adam's ale.' There is nothing like pure water. Drink it ; bathe in it-it will do you good. When I am thirsty, I don't want all these nameless kinds of 'pop.' Ju6t let me get to a fountain of Go Ts pure water. If God had meant for you to have whiskey and beer and 'pop,' He would have sent streams of it flowing through this beauti ful land, cursing and blighting every shore that it bathed." Endorsement of Miss Couch. Mr. J. B. Cumming*, president of the East Lake Atheneum, East. Lake, Ala., makes the following complimentary endorsement of Miss Couch who is to have charge of the Music Department of the college during the approaching session : "Mies Louise Couch bas been director of music in East Lake Atbeneum for one year, and it. affords me pleasure to testify to ber polished maunere, fine social position, amiability of disposition and conscientious discbarge of her duties as instructor. She has given me satisfaction, has been accept able to the patrons and has com manded the respect and love of her pupils. AB an-instructor I have found her thoroughly com petent. The advancement and thoroughness of her pupils as shown by her entertainments have won for her the . admiration of all true lovers of music of a high or der, who attended them. I cheer fully reoommend her to those de siring a first-class music teacher." Log Creek Agricultural and Social Clubs. On the 13th of August, a num ber of farmers met at the Hol lingsworth school house and or ganized the Log Creek Agricultur al and Social Club.

Mr. John B. Hill was elected president and VT. S. B. Nicholson was elected secretary and treasurer. . Such an organization should exist in every oommuuity in the colinty. Farmers eau protect and promote their interests through an organization more effectively and more satisfactorily than they can do as individuals. In a com munity that is thoroughly organi zed, and farmers become iutersst ed in the. welfare of each other, there will be no enticing of labor from one farm to another, or bid ding for labor in a way that total ly demoralises the laboring class. In the work of the Log Creek Club, the social feature will be made prominent, which will also be helpful to the community. Tailor Opening. We will have with us Septem ber 3rd and 4th Mr. Vance of the celebrated Traymore Tailoring j Company making clothes to meas ure only.

Th first was under the managemea of Burrell Yeldell and Normal Youngblood, and the second bar becue which was -given on Friday last w?s in charge of Andrew Sim-; kins, Jordan Simkins, Dennis Wilson and other leading colored men. The meats were well pre* pared aud the dinner was spread in the hall near Macedonia church* Perfect order prevailed throughout the day, not a drop of whiskeyJ being allowed anywhere about theJ premises. For oolored people tel come together after the crops arel "laid by" and enjoy a day social ly, conducting everything in 8 most orderly manner, is entirely proper and very commendable, but the feature of the barbecue on Friday, that deserves special men tion and that is admired by all right-thinking people was the thoughtful remembrance of the 6ick.
