There it jet hope for Ed Normen t and Ed DeCsmp. i The fariner fixes the price of his land, horses and mules when he offers them for sale but he al* .lows the "other fellow" to fix the price of his cotton. This should not be so. ! About 900,000,000 postals are ? consumed each year in the United ; States. A greater number would [be used if the fair sex did not pre* lier to write leeters. Postals are not generally popular with women because there is not room on them for a post script: The anti-liquor sentiment con tinues to grow in the south. It is said to be almost a foregone con clusion that Alabaxa will go dry when the next legislature con venes. The liquor licenses in Bir-" mingham haye recently been in creased from $800 to $2,400 per 'annum. ; Georgia is making an effort to' bring Scotch immigrants of the sturdy old Presbyterial type to this country. If there are enough to go ar?und South Carolina would do well to get busy along the same line. Senator Latimer and others who entertain similar viewa upon immigration dare not say aught against*Scotch immigrants. Withv a good average yield of | cotton and f?ll corn cribs at their backs, if fkrmeiB are unable to enforce their demands this yoar fora higher price for cotton, it di)?3 seem that it will be useless for them ever again to name a j minimum price for their staple. Everything is in . their favor this [ year. TheJia/rict convention of the j Xaifb'ts of Pythias will be held | in ?dgefield on October the 10th and 11th. Between fifty and seven tyj five-Knights, representative! men of the Order, will be in at tendance, and . our town should feel greatly honored by having such men as its guests. A. very cordial reception awaits the mem bers of this convention. The growers of sea island cotton are in earnest ajbout the matter of controling tibe price of long staple cotton. Each planter has agreed to contribute two dollars for every bale of cotton grown to a common fund, which will be used to erect a warehouse for storing Bea island cotton. After the warehouse is - erected no long staple cotton' will be sold unless a good price is offer ed for it. That parents are fully aroused to a sense of. their duty and responsibility in the matter of educating their sons and daugh teis is plainly evidenced by the fact that the colleges that have re sumed work are literally over flowing with students. This means that the rising generation as whole is being better equipped for the duties of citizenship than those that bare gone before, which augurs well for the future of the home, society and the state. Law S?ouldbe Changed. Last week -Judge Gary sentenced a blind tiger in Laurens county a county with a dispensary-to pay a fine of 4800 or serve one year on the county ohaingang. This violator of the law was con vected on four counts, is why so large a fine was imposed. The law which makes provision for im prisonment or a fine should be changed so as> to make the sen tence in such' cases as the . one above cited imprisonment at hard labor with no alternative fine. The sentencing of a few blind tigers to the county chaingang would have a very deterrent effect upon violators of that class. The man who makes his money selling blind tiger liquor does not mind a fine. Activity Heede? Atoas; Industrial Lia??. Leesville with a population of about ono-fourth of that of Edge field is to have a $100,000 yarn mill. Are our paopJe going to stand idly by and be outstripped by every town in the state? The statements of the two local banks, which are published in this iasue, show tkeir combined internet bearing deposits to be about .$170t000. This, as viewed from one, z b t a h P d I P a ? a it 81 ai it P' Si ec standpoint, is idle money. The depositors place it in bank at five per cent because they are unable to invest it at a higher rate. Many of thom are doubtless on the alert for permanent investments ata (higherrate of interest than sav ings banks can afford to pay. This investment could be found in the j establishment of sundry indus trial enterprises in our town. Edgefield needs such enter prises as a yarn mill, knitting mill, laundry, furniture factory, mattress factory, overall factory, brick-yard, and bas ample capital for the erection of these manufac turing plants. Without inoreased activity along industrial lines our town will never grow and develop to any | very great extent. The desired end [can be accomplished if someone twill take the lead; scores will be ready to follow. What Leesville aud other towns ! are doing Edgefield can do. Do you not think so? Mr. John C. Morgan Writes an In teresting Letter From San An tonie? Tesas. Visits Pecan Groves, Beautiful Cities, Crops Poor. Edgefield Advertiser: - When I last wrote I was in the northern part of Runnoll county, which is a reddish black soil, not the real black waxy land. I told you of my trip from Ballinger up there by private conveyance. Well, on my way back tb Ballinger I went a different route, which led through an extremely dry section, where th? crops are nearly a failure. In many places it will take j rom ten to twenty acres to make a bale and some places more Many of the farms are deserted. On this road were large ranchee and in many places mountains. I saw only one large flock of sheep, but saw a good many cattle, mules and horses. Here I saw the little prai rie dogs by the hundred and oc casionally his companion, tbe owl. From Ballinger I went to Brown wood and spent the night with a kinsman, J. W. Jennings, who took me around the city. It is a real pretty one, and there are many magnificent bouses here and much wealth. Howard Payne col lege for both sexes ie here and it is a fine Baptist school. Among other things I was driven to see a large Pecan grove of one hundred and fifty acres, many of | the trees being filled with nuts. There were numerous trees out side of this grove also. I J eft Brown wood for Cameron and for many miles the country is moun tainous with a scrubby growth of oaks on it, not large enough to make much wood. In Belle and Milam counties the lands are bet ter, but crops short, land being J /partly timber and prairie. From Cameron I went south and for quite a distance the lande were river bottoms. Then came miles of post oak lands and then for miles the country is level, some places being real prairie, others scattering live oak with moss growing on it, looks very much like southern part of South Caro lina. A large per cent of this conn try is grazed, but what crops there were tolerably good. In some places cotton was nearly all] gathered. I reached here the 9th and .have been taking in the many places of interest and beauty, with my niece. Miss Fannie'Morgan, who j lives here. One oftthe noted places is the ?lamo in the heart of the city. It just thrills one to stand on the spot where the heroes Crockett, Bowie, Travis and others died so bravely. Just south of the city is the noted hot sulphur well with its stream of water gushing through a four inch pipe. This water ie j said to be nearly a sure cure for | j rheumatism and most skin diseas es. There is a fine hotel here for < invalids. Near the city are some < very ancient ruins. We visited one of them, the San Jose mission, founded about 1720, one of the windows is considered to be one ? of the finest gems of architecture ( in Amerioa. Some of the walls aud towers are yet preserved. This is a quaint oity, different from any that I have seen. It is in so many rays a mixture, the ancient and modern. There are thousands of Mexicans here. Meandering through the city, is a beautiful river of clear water, ] ?rith many banana trees growing >n its banks, also other tropical slants. In fact, the city in many vays is semi-tropical. If I were 'ich, I would like to live here. There are many parks, some of j hem perfectly beautiful, with j dear streams filled with innumer able fish, which you can see swim ning about, and floating grace uliy on the water is the maj es tic j wan, also wild geese, ducks and 'tber beautiful water fowls. One eels as if they could almost sit nd ?ream their life away amid uch beauty. Hard by one of these parks is a 00 filled with Texas animals, .irds and reptiles, and among] hem were two large black bear, large handsome jaguar, aud a arge mountain^, lion. In other; arks I found buffalo, elk and eer. In this city is fort Sam [ouston, one of the largest army osts. This city is so beautiful and ttractive that I can 'hardly quit riting about it. Its population is j bout one hundred thousand, and is six miles square. I expect to tart for South Carolina the 16th nd visit on the way. I have been 1 thirty one counties, and will iss through about twenty more J. C. Morgan, an Antonio, Texas, Sep. 18,1907. Juet received delightful Roast 1 Coffee, 15 to 25 cents per pound. Timmone Bros. Ho Tri-County Fair at Batesbarg, October 15 th, 16th, 17th and 18th. The "Tri-County Fair" (Lex ington, Salnda and Aiken coun ties) will bold their first annual Fair this vear OH the 15th, 16th, 17th and " 18th of October. The promoters of this association is made up of leprosentative busi ness men and farmers of different sections of these counties. During the last twelve mouths they have worked ou the proposition with diligeuce with the view of bring ing together in auuual festivities and iu generous rivalry all the* people of these sections yieiug with each other in the production of the excelleuce of their horses, cattle, poultry, field crops, needle and fancy work and household products and in its manufactur ing iuduat ries. To this end the association has erected on their beautiful ten acre lot in the heart of Batesburgon the prettiest ridge overlooking the city a large abd commodious main fair building, one hundred cattle and horse stalls, a large and well arranged poultry house, stalls for hogs and sheep or goats. The arena is being put io au excellent condition for the proper exhibition of fine sad dle and trottiDg horses. The grounds aud building? will have cost the associatiou ?omet hing like forty-five hundred dollars. Suitable premium rewards will be paid to those who excel iu the ex hibits. Delightful brass band music will be rendered during the fair for the ploasure of the guests, and attractive opera hquee enter tainments will be provided for the entertainment of the visitors dur ing the evenings.

Two tents at the chaingang camp were destroyed by fire on Thursday afternoon last, destroy-j ing also the personal effe^cta-of Capt. Sawyer. The camp is located not very far from Mr. F. L. Tim merman's ginnery, and th? fire waa discovered by some p.Hhe.gin bands. Capt. Sawyer, the guards and convicts were several miles away at work wheu the fire occur red.

In order to improve ^the price and attract more cotton to the local market, the niSfcnants and business men of Aiken have ar ranged to ho!d "Co* ton Sales Days." The first ooe will be.on October the 3rd. The idea is to have as mucb cotton carried to Aiken on that day as possible, aud then have several out-of-town buy era to come and bid on the large lot. Already 355 bales ? have beeD pledged for October the 3rd. A better plan would be for Aiken to have' wido-awakp, aofcive buyers on her streets every day-from Monday morning to Saturday night-and let tbe?e buyers pay all that the prevailing market or price warrants.-Tr * ' ^ would 3raw the cotton/ ^dgenwd Las six buyers, wbos? epirited bidding keepB the price up to the top a etch all the time; and as a re mit every day is a "Cotton Sale* Day" in Edgefield.

Almost everybody who reads the news papers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by Dr. i Kilmer's Swamp-Root, 1 ?^jT^ I P"eat kidney, liver fil ffrfZrrj' li:an<* bladder remedy. ; It is the great medi cal triumph of the nine teenth century; dis covered after years of scientific research by Dr. Kilmer, the emi nent kidney and blad der specialist, and is ?wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou bles and Bright's Disease, which is the worst I form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root ls not rec ommended for everything but if you have kid ney, . liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless too poor to pur. chase relief and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root and how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper and send your address to i Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing hamton,. N. Y.
