Ha? not deep plowing had conch to do with the almost unprece dented yield of corn in Edgefield' county this year? : Prof. John G. Clinkscaies bas stated positively tbat be will not be a- candidate for the Uoited States senate next year. Some easier rests a bead that wears a senatorial crown- in South Caro? -lina. lu making preparations for the approachingwinior do not neglect the dumb - brutes. Provide good shelter and warm stalls for them. Besides adding to the comfort of ; th?se creatures, proper care for them pays their owners in dollars and cents. Some people who know nothing] about the expense of producing ? cotton seem to think that if far mere were paid fifteen cents for their staple they would in about four or five years be as rich as John D. Rockefeller whose income is $19 00 per minute. It us'-d to be'that men only bad domestic tronbles and financial tri ul?lesj with a few others thrown in for good measure, but now nome have automobile troubles. lhere are more than 100 men in Columbia afflicted with automo bile troubles. ? few not being] satisfied with one, have two or three machines. The "enormity" * of the Jones Enormous Shows did not impress itself on the Greenville public yesterday.-Greenville Newe. Bill boards usually tell tales. The elephants are not half so large, the jokes not half BO new and the women not half eo beau tiful aa they are generally rep resented to be. It has been predicted that green-backs will bo BO plentiful next year that political offices, such &8 iour-huL'dred-dollar jobs, will go begging. There may be un easiness along , this line in some sections but cob-webs will hardly be seen across the doors of any public office in Edgefield. The outlook is.good for a full c?op of candidates in 1S08. Just as there will always be "suckers^ till Gabriel blows His trumpet, so will there always be foohl and fanatics in the world. A New Jersey father and mother, both Christian Scientists, are now under indictment for manslaugh ter, because they refused to allow a physician to treat their child -which died-of meningitis. These fanatics endeavored to Leal the disease through their so-called religion. The "pure food" law is a pro tection to the beasts of burden as well as to humanity. Several large shipments of western stock feed wen recently held up in Georgia because it contained oat hulls. If manufacturers and jobbers are un scrupulous enough to sell ground corn, cobs or saw dust as food for man and beast, the law says they must not put a deceptive brand or label upon it. The - railway mail service throughout the south is being al most entirely abandoned hythe white people, leaving these posi tions to be f iled by negroes. Only about one-eighth of the applicants are white men. The reason of the withdrawal of the whites is be cause they are unwilling tc be as signed to a mail car in which they must work side by side with ne gro mail clerks. With the coming of l'be harvest season barn burning bas begun. "The daily papers have recently contained accounts of the burning ,of several valuable barns in differ ent sections of the state*. Is it not strange that barns never burn in summer when they are empty? The incarnate fiends, whit? or colored, who apply the matbh are arch enemies of society and should be dealt with accordingly. It bas been stated that in his annual message to the general as sembly) which convenes in Jt> una ry, Governor Ansel will recom mend that the salary of. the gov ernor be i i-.creased from $3,000 to $4,000. The salary has never com ported with the dignity and re* sponsibility of the office, and non that prices have advanced, making the cost of living much greater, an increase ie almost imperative. Augusta is makio? great prepa rations-for the Georgia-Carol ina Fair that it to be held in tb*t city from tb? 4th to the 9th of Nov*s? ber. Gen. M. 0. Butler bas been invited to deliver an address on Monday, the opening day. Not only will Edgef?eld be represented among the exhibits bot hundreds o'f our people from town and county will flock to the city across the Savannah to ait; od the fair. In no other city do Edgef?eld peo ple feel as much at home as they do among the people of Augusta. Leaders Not Lacking. Asheville, the greatest whiskey stronghold in North Carolina, weut dry by a large majority last week.- Judge Pritchard, who is a very enthusiastic prohibition ad vocate, adjourned the United States court long enough fo de liver an addres3 on the day of the election. Everything pointe to the fact that tbil prohibition land slide is gaining momentum as it moves forward. Some years ago it was an unpopular movement, bat to-day it is exceedingly popular among all classes. Some years ago the leaders wer? few, but to-day there are leaders by tb? scores and hundreds,- among them being judges, governors and oe na tor s Pythian Convention Met in Edge field on Thursday and Friday, October 10-1 Ith. Edgef?eld bad the honor of en tertaining the district convention of the Knights of Pythias last week. There are twenty two ?odges in this district, eleven of which were represented by 26 visiting Knights. Had all of the lodger seut full delegations, there would have been 76 delegates in-attend ance. The absence of so many is not du* to lack of loyalty or in terest in the affairs of the order but is due to.the fact that this in au exceedingly busy* season, a time when business, .n^u must be at their places of business. Th?? convention was called to order on Tbu sdav evening by Deputy Grand Master ?healy, pt Leesville. The first session was devoted entirely to the addresses of welcome and the respo.)8os. Short addresses wera made by Col. J. H. Tillman, Capt. N. G". Evans, Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Hon. J. Wm. TburmoDd and Mr. S. M Smith on behalf of the local fra ternal orders, and responses were made by Mr. J. A. Summerset, of Columbia, and Hon. George Bell Timmerman of Lexington. As Mayor, Mr. W. W. Adams wel comed the visiting Knights Jo our town. The .next session of the con ven tion, the only' business session, was held in the Pythian hall in The Advertiser Building on Fri day morning.- The uninitiated, of course, know nothing of what transpired in this secret session but we have been informed that appropriate addresses pertaining to the good of the order were made hy Lleut-Gov. McLeod and Dr. Cv E. BurtsvOn motion of Mr. Deal ' of Columbia it was decided thai, hereafter all lodges must prepare and forward written reports to the district convention. The banquet which was the crowning feature of the conven tion from a social standpoint was held Friday evening in the ball over Hr. W. W. Adams' store. There were about a hundred in attendance upon th*) royal feast, including the Knights, wives of sojme and > sweethearts of others. Th? toasts, as announced in the published program, were, we have been informed, responded to io a most delightful manner. And let us state that in connection that the Knights were perfectly charmed with the elegant supper that was prepared by the ladies who were the caterers on this occasion. The only regret in connection with the convention is that Edge* field was chosen as a meeting place during such a busy season of the year. Even the members of the local lodge, although they en ter ta TD ed their brethren most delightfully, could not do them selves justice. We trust that the Knights of this district will meet again in Edgef?eld before many years. A oordial welcome will al ways be extended them. The next district convention will be held iu Columbia in April. Hallway Meeting Called. At a recent meeting, a commit tee of three was appointed to make certain investigation;io the matter of a trolley line from North Augusta, to Edgef?eld and on north.

The Cause of Many Studdert Deaths, .There is a disease, prevailing .ia thl^r ouitry most dangerous because so. decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it-heart disease, pneumonia,' heart failure or apoplexy r are often the result of kidney disease, jf kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the 'Z kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste wway cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from ci derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys, if you are feeling badly you \ can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain' in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles.

Hart We meet a man who says that he will not insure his life for the reason that he would pay in more than his family Would get put of the Company. This man usually refuses to let us show him that he is mistaken. He is determined not to admit that he conld be in error. To save him the embarrassment of such public admission, I am going to give him a line of facts that he can read when no one is looking. We submit be low ,a list of death claims paid, number of years insured, and amount of premiums paid in one state, during this year, and leave it to the skeptic to decide whether it pays to insure his lite.
