and that the first bale was ginned
ou August 24th year before last.
Barata Class Entertained.
Tb? elegant home of Mrs. J.
H. Tillman presented a very
brilliant and happy scene on
Monday evening. Mrs. Tillman is
tbe teacher of the Baraca class,
the young men's class of the Bap
tist Sunday school, and on Mon
day evening she entertained the
thirty-odd young men and their
lady friends and swertbearts most
charmingly. Some of the young
people tete-a-tetod andj others
promenaded but all engaged in
two very spirited and exciting
contests.
The first was a "cat" contest.
The young people were paired and
a sheet of paper containing ques
tions was given to each couple.
The answers had to be supplied
by words containing the word
"cat," such as "catfish," "catuip,"
e?c. The couple that won the first
prize, a beautiful book, by fur
nishing the "greatest number of
correct answers was Miss
Lena Stevens aud Mr. John R.
Tompkins. (Don't tell on "Uucle"
Jobu when Mrs. Tompkins re
turns). MissJVernT Haltiwauger
and Mr. James Hilton won the
Sf coud priz?, a box of peanuts.
NKX? came a progressive pea
nut jabbing contest. Each con
testant would thrust a long, very
sharp hat pin in a box of shelled
pranuts, passing from ono table to
another, and the couple sticking
the mofet peanuts being pronounc
ed tho winners.Miss Kate Pattison
and Mr. Johu Sheppard being
adepts in the art of wielding the
bat pin, won the first prize, which
was a beautiful hand painted pic
lure. The consolation prize fell to
the lot of MisB Marie Tompkins
and Mr. Sheppard Jones.
Tho last contest, the grand
finale, and one iu which all pres
ent evinced surpassing skill, was
the partaking of the very delight
ful refreshments that the hostess
had thoughtfully propared. In this
contest seventy-odd fi wt prizes
and not a single "booby" should
have been awarded.
The Edgefield Delegates.
. Having a membership of 305,
the EdgeSelrT Baptist church is
entitled to a representation of
eight delegates at the Association.
The following have been appoint
ed : 0. Sheppard, R. H. Mime, F.
N. E. Bailey, A. S. Tompkins. T.
G. Talbert, H. W. Dobey, W. A.
Hart, B. B. Jones. The alternates
are W. H. Harling, J. H. May and
J. L. Mims.
Would Blossom as the Rose.
A farmer who does not reside
many miles from Edgefield told
the writer a few days ago that
from each plow on his place he
sells eveiy year eight bales of cot
ton, 100 bushels of corn, $50
worth of hogs and about $50 worth
of hay. This is an excellent show
ing, and we believe every word of
it, for this gentleman is not given
to blowing his own horn. Just
thiuk, if the farmers of the county
would do half BO w^ll year after
year old Edgefield would blossom
as the rose from one end of the
county to the other.
Finest on Record.
Fine cotton is nothing unusual
this year. A bale-to-the-acre field
can be seen at overy bend in the
road. But Mr. John Tompkins has
some cotton that's jost a bit too
fine for its own good. A cow broke
from the lot a few Mghts ago aLd,
while roaming in th? moonlight,
chanced to get in Mr. Tompkins'
field. In someway, the cow's chain
or rope or tail became so entang
led in a giant stalk of cotton that
she was forced to spend the night
in the centre of Mr.. Tompkins'
brag patch. We hav?- often beard
of cotton that would hide a man,
but when it comes to cotton, one
stalk of which can hold a cow,
Mr. Tompkins takes the cake.
Good Melon Year.
The melon crop has been unu
sually fiuo thie year throughout
Carolina end Georgia. During the
past forty days something like
85 cars of watermelons have been
shipped from the little town of
Blythe, Ga., netting the growers
about $65 per car. Some very fine
melons have been grown in this
county, but for the largest m?lou
Newberry bears off the honors. A
farmer in Newberry county grew
one 88-pound watermelon and
several that weighed 80 pounds.
In the matter-of superior quality
and delicacy of flavor, Edgefield
melons hold first place.
Looks Blighty "Spicious."
Mr. Beauregard Timmons in
cidentally remarked to The Ad
vertiser man a few days ago that
he had sold Mr. Bettie Cantelou
a large bill of paint with which to
paiot his stately country mansion.
Some young bachelors at times
mauifest a poncbant for painting
the town red but Mr. Cantelou is
going to paint everything white
even down to- his fowl house.
Wouder why our young friend was
so suddenly eeiz?? with painting
feyer? Is it because his 'fine crop
will net him BO much cash that he
cannot otherwise spend it, rr is
Bomething else back of it all?
Blocker Road Being Worked.
Supervisor Self informed us on
Monday that he is ready to bugiu
work on the Blocker road, which
leads from Dr. Parker's late home
up by Pleaeant Laue. The Ninety
Six road hae been put in apple
pie order. Two of the largest and
steepest hills have been partially
graded down which will make it
easier to draw heavy loads over
that road. It is the Supervisor's
purpose to put the Blocker road
in equally as good condition. The
other chaingang is down at Ropers
working this way. At au early day
all of the nads leadiug to the
cou o ty seat-which roapls are
traveled more than any other in
the county-will be iu a first-class
condition.
Dlr. Hezekiah Coleman.
Be it said to the shame and dis
credit of the State, that for twelve
years a Confederate veteran, Mr.
Hezekiah Cole.nan, ba? been an
inmate of the County Home. For
many years he was a paralytic but
death came oue day last week and
relieved him of further suffering,
discomfiture and humiliation.
Thoso who have visited the Coun
ty. Home have been impFeseed
with Mr. Colemau's intelligence
and cheerful-, sunny disposition.
He read everything be could lay
his bauds upon and was reasona
bly well informed upon the topics
of tho day. Mr. Coleman wan a
native of Abbeville county. His
body was interred iu the burial
ground on the county farm.

and Dr. WY E. Hatcher, for three

Endorsement From Alabama.
Mr. Robert G. Patrick, presi
deut of Judson College, Marion,
Ala., writes as follows concern
ing Miss Louise Couch as a musi
cian:
"Mies Louise Couch has taught
Piano and Violin io the Judson
during the present session and I
take pleasure in 6ayiug that her
work as a teacher has given satis
faction. She came to us highly
commended in every way and our
expectations have been fully
-realized.lt ie a matter of regret
to me that Miss Couch has decided
to give up ber position with me."
Beloved Dr. Gwaltney Coming.
The approaching centennial
session of the association has
many pleasures in'store for the
people of Edgefield, but of the
many anticipations the^e is not
one that affords more pleasure
than tho comiug of Dr. L. R.
Gwaltney. In lees than a week he
will be with UP, and besides par
ticipating in the deliberations of
tho association, he will doubtless
conduct the services in the Bap
tist cbnrch for one or two Sundays.
Dr. Gwaltney can not remain in
Edgefield long and it is hi? pur
pose, we are informed, to go from
here to hip old home in Virginia
for a visit. A whole month would
be necessary for him to visit all
of his Edgefield friends.
Exceedingly Encouraging Outlook.
President F. N. K. Bailey in
formed The Advertiser's repre
sentative a few days ago that he
has never since he founded his
school been more encouraged than
he is over the outlook for the ses
sion of 1907-08.-He took-a trip re
cently in the lower couuties of the
state ai.d secured seventeen stu
dents in ton days: Ho is also more
careful in receiving students now
than formerly, onty soliciting
from homes in which children
have been properly trained. Owing
to this precaution, his student
body is composed of "ambitious
young men and young ladies who
deport themselves properly. The
people of Edgefield congratulate
and rejoice with Col. Bailey river
his successes.
Commendable Zeal and Enthusiasm
Our friend Mr. M. B. Sfurkey,
a highly esteemed citizen of Plum
Branch, is a man who throws his
whole being into a cause or move
ment vvheu he becomes interested,
and is willing to make any per
sonal or fiuancial sacrifice in or
dur to accomplish the desired end.
Twice he has ?om? through the
"heat of a mid-summer ' day to
Edgefield in . the interest Of a
trolloyfrom this, place to Plum
Branch,aud for,bis interest, in the
public weal, bis zeal, enthusiasm
and perseverance, Mr.. Sturkey is
being very generally commended.
If there were a few more men as
greatly interested as Mr. Sturkey
and as willing to make as great
sacrifice as he, theroad would be
constructed beyond any shadow of
doubt.

Letter to Prof. Bailey.
Edgefield, S. C.
Dear, Sir: We should like to set)
your boys snd girls at work on this [
question in arithmetic and casuistry.
A farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw anti care, and are
fed m these three ways; first hog, on
a certain proportion of milk and
cooked cornmeal; second hog,on the
same, half water; third hog, on the
same, half water and 3awdust. How
long will it take, how much will they
weigh, how much will they cost, and
what'll the profit be on the three?
And a 3imilar question in pigmen
iry. That, same farmer is going to
paint three barns same size; and he
pays to three painters: "what'll you
take to paint that barn?"
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says : 'Til do it foi
.$50."
Second painter $/5.
Third painter S97.4S.
Will they each get a barn to paint,
or one get two, or one all three, or
nobody any; and what'll they make
on the job?
That's about how painting goes.
But there is a way to reckon : $5 a
gallon. The di fficulty is in knowing
how many gal'ons to buy. There's a
way out of that.
Buy the least-gallons paint, Devoe.
No'matter how much one buys; he
returns what's loft: costs nothings
Yours truly

Sweet Little Ruth Samuel.
The deepest sympathy of the
community goes out to Mr. "and
Mrs. E. W. Samuel, in this hour
of bereavement-in the death of
tbdir little daughter which oc
curred in the early hours of Suu
day morning. Little Ruth was
spai ed to her fond parents only
thirteen months, when she was
taken by Him who holds the dar
ling little ones as the V9ry apple
of his eye. This little child being
delicate had been a constant
sufferer, and through much anxie
ty and ? patient ministeriug, the
affections of the devoted parents
had grown stronger and stronger/
which made the separation all the
more painful to them. While their
little daughter has been taken,
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel have a
strong and very promising little
son left to brighten and bless their
home.*
Hr. Samuel M. Smith.
In the Harmony cemetery there
is a newly made grave, where lies
entombed the mortal body of Mr.
Samuel M. Smith. He passed
away at bis home on Monday
morning after a prolonged illness
of more than twelve month's. For
twenty consecutive -weeks he was
confined to his bed but he bore it
all with a marked degree of pa
tience and .fortitude.
The death of Mr. Smith causes
a breach in the ranks of the citi
zenship of Edgefield county that
cannot be easily filled. He was a
mau of great decision and firm
ness, always ready and willing to
take a stand for those things that
contributed to the best interests
of his community and the county
at large. And not only was he
prominent in secular affairs, but
iii his church also.By precept and
example, daily walkgand conversa
tion, he pointed those about him
to the Saviour whom he served so
faithfully.
Mr. Smith had reached his
aeveufy-third year at the time of
his death, and is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. W. G Ouzts, Mrs.
M. M. Padgett, and one son, Mr.
D. C. Smith, of Saluda.
Negro Balled at Church.
A great crowd of colored people
congregated f.t Willow Spring, a
uegro church one mile north of
Meeting Street, on last Sunday,
the beginning of the annual pro
tracted meetiug. During'the din
ner hour somo young negroes who
weredriukiug became involved in
a general row which resulted in
