?deefield Advertiser J. L. MIAIS, - - - EDITOR TERMS: ONE TEAK SIX MONTHS $150 .75 WEDNESDAY, NOV. 6, 1907. With patience bear the lot to a thee assigned* nor think it - I chance? nor murmur at the 1 load; for what man calla for \ tone, is from God.-ROWE Edgofield's crop of marriages for 1907 is woefully short. Many old mortgages that have yellowed with age are being can celled these autumn days. The cry is coming from every quarter. "Kill the hen law." The legislators candil afford todo less. The time is approaching for making plans for the nett year. All labor contract laws being null and void, what will take their place? Doubtless some of the South Carolina University students will now have greater ambition to stand woll on the foot ball team than to stand al the head of their classes. It is well that Columbia's growth from year to year has kept pace with the ever increasing Fair week crowds. The Columbia of ten years ago could not have given shelter to last week's visi tors. Georgia has yet room for im provement in the matter of grant ing divorces. Twenty-eight di vorces were granted in one day in the courts of Augusta last week. With South Carolina's example just acros3 the river, Georgia ought to know better. It seems tbat the senatorial race is about to narrow dowu to Ansel and Latimer. Governor Ansel is being importuned by his friends over the state to make the race, and has staled that he will in a few days come to a definite con clusion. With Ansel and Latimer in the race, it should not require two seconds for one to decide which to scratch. The searching investigation that was made into the affairs of some of the old line insurance compa nies a year or more ago revealed many ways in which the money of the long-Buffering policy hold ers had been squandered and mis applied. The president of one of the old line companies purchased furniture to the value of $70,0001 for his offices, when $700 would have furnished them in comfort and elegance. The furniture is now being sold and the mony re-j turned to the company's treasury. Texas Farmers Standing Firm. It will be gratifying to the far miners of this section who are standing by th? demands of the organized cotton growers to know that their brethren in Texas are standing shoulder to shoulder with them in their tiff nts to ad vance the price of cotton. It is a fact worthy of special notice that some of the Texas farmers are not only holding the staple they pro duced on their own farms but are buying cotton from their neigh? hors who are disposed to sell. The following which is a por tion of a letter written by Mr. Drury J.|Morgan, of Mexia, Texas, on October the 22nd, to his father, Mr. E. G. Morgan, Sr., of Faifa, this county, will be reassuring to many of the members of the Far mers' Union of Edgefield county: "We are having rain, rain. The ground is thoroughly wet. and roads are getting bad. Most every one had finished gathering before the bad weather set m. I have had my stock in my field for mor6 than two weeks. "I have not sold any of my cot ton have ten bales on hand (made on 45 acres) and guess I'll have them until I get 15 cents for it or we get pretty hungry one. Our men are sticking like they mean business out hore. "We have nearly 2,000 bales in our warehouse, with lots of it at home, and there is LO disposition to take less than the price set by the union. Some farmers are buy ing where their neighbors want to sell. The banks are liberal enough, and we cdn now if we witt. "Crops are going to be short taking the state over, very short. South Caroliua and Georgia are the only states that are making good crops, it seems. 1 he buyers in Texas are trying to borrow cot ton by paying $60.00 per bale and offer to give the farmer the benefit of any rise in price, but the rack et don't work. It takes 15 cents to m J ve a good union man's cotton this fal!. ' "Financially Texas is iu good shape *o hold for 12 months if necessary. Of .course, there has been considerable cotton sold but most of those fellows have about sold out now. "Everything is moving alouir nicely now. The boys have begun to go possum hunting and coon fights are entertaining some of them. Dock and geese are going south but no frost vet, just rain that's all." ' Live, Processive Paper. The Augusta Gerald, under the able management of Mr. T. J. Sheron, is recognized as one of the most progressive papers in this section of the country. The issue of Sunday, October the 27th, was a gem. Its 56 pages contained the best reading matter obtaina ble. Beeides'state and local newe, Tbe Herald carries two leased wire services, which thoroughly equip it for gathering all the new? from all tho world. Furthermore, this excellent newspaper has a very efficient corps, both in the editorial and mechanical depart ments. The tremendous issue above alluded to was gotten up by the regular force while in the midst of one of the bnsiest weeks of the vear. We wish our esteemed contemporary every possible suc cess-the full measure that it so richly deserves. Columbia Convocation. Fall Sleeting to be Held in Edge Held, November 18th.

But the duty of the kidneys is to remove all uric acid from the blood. Its presence there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't delay with "uric acid solvents." You might go on till doomsday with them, but unfil you cure the kidneys you will uever get well. Doau's Kidney Pills not only removes uric acid, but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is ended. Rupert B. Calvo, bookbinder, employed at The State Publishing Co., official printers for the State of South Carolina, living at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia, S. C., says : "I thought 1 had rheumatism and treated for it on that belief. I used all kinds of liniments. The pain was in my back and hips clear to the shoulders. The lini ments did no good and 1 toot to blood medicines but they did not help me. I took a loi.g trip in hopes that the change of climate might help me. I wa? away for three months but could see no change for the better. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and deter mined to try them, and got a box it a drug store. They completely removed the pains cut of my back and I have not felt a touch of the old trouble sioco I us.ed them." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
