SO, 1907. r I kare discovered the philoso pher's stone, that tarns e rery thine into sold* "Pay as you go."-RANDOLPH. The Standard Oil Company re-j cently paid a quarterly dividend of. $L0,per j?hare, but nobody .has yet heard of their paying' that $29,000000 fine. Doubtless -*he newspapers over the country that have been cussiu' President Roosevelt will rise up and call him blessed if he will throttle the paper trust. Panics. - may come and panics may go but the Edgefield county ' farmer who" has paid h's debts and has bis crib fnU . of com and sev eral bales of cottou lying in his y?rd is little affected thereby-, -. -If'tbe ladies of the Chrysanthe mum association can make such a ..^phenomenal success of their Flo ral Fairs, the people of the coun ty, through th?Mr combined efforts, / ought to make a success of a County Fair. Let's have a County Fair j a 1908. <r Sorne of the men in New York 'who troubled the financial waters ^-arejrow among the heaviest suffer ers. A broker who paid $95,000 for a seat in the Stock Exchange a year or more ago wae recen?ly " forced to sell it for $53,000. A clear loss of $42,000. The Republican party will have . to answer to the masses of thfi voters for the great financial de ''pr?8eion that has ' prevailed for sometime. Many mills and manu facturing establishments are shut ting down throughout the North and thousand^ of operatives are being thrown out of employment. It is the w ise farmer who plows deep in the fall, and not only in creases the depth of,-his soil fhere by but. stores away the winter rains ta tide his crops over next summer's drought. Deep plowing, when the ground is not too wet, always brings profitable results. Notwithstanding" the fact ihat guano was very heavily used ibis .year, the privilege tsar wiH-faH-f about $?5#G0 shorf of la?t year. This will curtail Clemson's reve nue, as all of the tag tax, which amounted last year to $167,158.39, goers into- the treasury of this in stitution instead of. the state treasury.. Whether he has a penchant for notoriety or not, President Roose velt is ever and anon doing those thingB that keep him in the lime . Jight. His refusal to allow the . mpttOj ^In God we trust," placed upon the new issue of coins has caused much press comment, ? both, pro and con. The huntsmen can now shoul der their guns and whistle for -^their dogs. The time in which the law prohibits the shooting of game expired on the 15th inst. So far as the' writer's limited observation has extended, there seems to have been fewer violations of the game law in this vicinity this year than usual. ... . , Those who are holding their cotton can find encouragement in Ttho fact that the almost unprece " dented financial stringency has caused the price to decline hut little. Aa soon as money matters are o?sier,; the demand for raw material at home and abroad will .'-incre'ase, which will be followed by a very marked advance in price. An injunction has been terved : upon the invincible Vincent Chicco of Charleston. We do not approve of the injunction plan of d?aling.with violators of the law, particularly wirh the Chicer class bf violators. A sentence to the chamgang would be a better and more effective wav. However, as nothing else has ever restrained the redoubtable Chicco, maybe the injunction is the long-looked fi for remedy. ' Although several unfruitful at tempts bave been made to pass a marriage license law, it' is proba ble that such a law will be enact ed at the next session of the legis lature. The matter is being agita ted now in several sections of th" -Btate. Only recently the Ministe rial Association of Greenville Adoptsd a resolution urging the .enactment of a marriage licpii6e law by the state legislature. While tr/'?-Ticense law has "suffered sev era!. rMnats, yet it ir a fact that with each succeeding year the op position bas weakened. i Th? panic seems not to have reacbfd Charleston. It was an nounced recently that more than" one hundred /'marriages: were scheduled for that city for the mouth of November, and added to that pvidence of prosperity was the sale last week of $623,000 of muuicipal bonds at a premium. . Mr. Cortolyou, Secretary of the Treasury, says he will issue bo?ds to the amount of one hundred mil li ous of dollars to aid in moving the cotton crop. It will take morp than a bond issu? to move the crop. Nothing short of an advance of three or four cents per pound will mo^e a large per cent of the crop. Probably the most important conference ever held in this coun try has been called by President Roosevelt to meet at the White House next March. He has sent invitations to all of the goverj ors, aa well as the senators and congressmen,^ be present. The purpose of the conference is to de vise seme means of husbanding the natural resources of this coun ty, which, as President Roosevelt truly states, are being rapidly wasted. Unless something is doue, the coming generations will eiiff^r because of toe prodigality of the present generation. More of Everything. In spite of the fact that the price of cotton bas not kept pace with the advance in the price of other commodities, the farmers of Edgefield county .are; in excellent condition financially; Mr. James M. Bell was iu town several days agcaud told the writer that be bas more corn, has more hogs, has paid more debts, and has more money left than at any other time since fie has been farming. This is not only true of Mr. Bell, but scores of others could be mention ed also. The great prosper it}' of our peo ple is not due to the seemingly high price of cotton, but to a cbauge of method iu farming, which has brough t larger yields of all crops. A County Fair. One of the greatest neods of Edgefibld county is a County Fair. Many .of the most prosper ous counties in the state have their lairs and we see no good reason why Edgefield shouTd not be included iu the list. Certainly aB fine crops can be grown in this county as in any other in the i state; As fine -sheep, cows, hogs, -J horses and mules can be raised t within the borders of old Edgefield; * as anywhere on the top side, of the t globe. Then, why should not the J farmers come together and exhib- r it their stock and produce every ( fall at .the county seat. Many ? of them haye made very < creditable exhibits at the State t and other faire. The' vieing of neighboi with ? neighbor in their efforts to excel [ each other would produce a whole- t some rivalry that would result in { great good. In order to wiu the t prizes that would be offered, efforts would be made hy farmers 'j to improve the quality of their seed and to increase their yield ? of wheat, oats, corn and potatoes * per acre. They would also give greater attention to raising poul try and stock bf all kinds. The 1 housewives could have their de- ! partment at the County Fair and | exhibit the many beau^ful and [ useful thingB made with their own hauds. Tho social feature of a ' County Fair would also be pleas ant and really very helpful to our people. - ' Let's have a County Fair. Judge of Probate* s Sale.
