'f Lore, and you shall be lev?j I ed.-All love is mathematically I I just? as much as the two sides I I of au algebraic equation.-Ell- \ B EKSON. J "Hub" Evans was defeated for the legislature Nlast summer and was last week defeated for mayor of Newberry. ?J lt is said that, lasting beauty, ie best developed through exercising. If that be true, would it not be wise for some of the Edgefield girls to substitute .the broom and dusting brush for paste, paint and powder? Weare exceedingly anxious to see the farmers generally of the county become interested in a county lair. We eau not conceive of anything that fwould accom plish BO much for the agricultural interests as a couuty fair. Probably it will be a surprise to many persons to know that South Carolina ranks second among the southern .states in the output of ; gold for last year. North Caroli na's output was $82,131 and that pf thia state $78.959. You may talk about your gilt edge stocks and bonds, but we have not seen anything that can knock the spots out ~of a panic like spot cotton. The recent panic punctured the inflated velues and watered, stock s of the North but it did not faze the ppot cotton of the South. , Those who stand high iu the Republican ranks say that the nomination will be ' forced up on^ Roosevelt when the conven tion is held. 'Many who have watched the trend of affairs are of the opinion that it will not re quire much "force." All Are Agreed. There may be a difference of opinion among our people con cerning some prohibition laws, but there is one prohibition meas > ure upon the wisdom of which all .agree, to wit: The law prohibiting the dealing in cotton futures. Alillions of dollars now i?^southr ern pockets and southern banks would have b9en sent north to the Wall Street gamblers had dealing in futures been'as^geheral through out the South thia fail as formerly. Such a law pays from the stand *nt of dollars and eents, but tte1 greatest good that this prohibition law bring6 is the prevention of the demoralization and moral {lapse that usually .follow in the wake of future speculation. Aid in Solving -Servant Problem. The establishment of a laundry and bakery would contribute largely toward the solution of the vexatious servant problem in Edgefield. There are some good, faithful washer women in Edge field and, vicinity, while, on the contrary, there are some who do not deseive the name. It is this latter class that a good steam laundry would put out of business As for cooks, no* so many would be needed if nice bread, rolls and pastry were delivered at "your door daily by the baker. Bread in great quantities is now shipped to Edge field from.the city bakeries. Why cannot it be ~ made as cheap here as there? Better Roads to Edgefield Weeded Edgefieid's great need is the im provement of the public highways that lead to the town. By improve ment, we mean a-permanent bet terment. It is true that the public roads, in the main, are; good dur ing the dry season, but when the raine fall, and.the season in which farmers have to send heavily load ed wagons to market arrives, the roads become almost impassable. When good roads are most needed the roads leading to the town of Edgefield are at their worst. And this, which many of our merchants realize, affects the volume bf the town's business. The farmer who i reaiu5fi?equal "distances from two iven markets will carry his pro *uce to, and buy his merchandise from, the market that bas the best roacls leading to it. Who ci^n blame him? No one. The county authorities are not to be censured for the bad roadb of winter. They do about the best that their limited funds warrant. Should oot the business men of our town become interested iu bringing about a permanent im provement of the highways lead ing to Edgefield? Other tow have wideriaken rho Methodist Assignments. .

H<> will probably not enter npon his work until the first Sun day of the new year. Public Sales of Monday. The attendance upon the pub lie sales of Monday was unusually largo, and the biading was more spirited than usual. While the lands that were sobi brought higher prices than when cotton was eight cents, yet the price at which, property was knocked down on Monday is considered very reiEonahle. The tract of the T. H. Clark es tate containing 215 acres, was purchaEed- by Mr. L. G. Asbill for $1,520.

Meeting of Farmers' Union, Dele gates Electeil to State Conven tion. Pursuant to the call of the president, Hon. W. R. Parkp, a meeting of the Farmers' Union of Edgefield couuty was held in the court house on Monday. The mooting was opened with prayer by the chaplain, Rev. J. T. Lit tlejohn. The secretary being ab sent, Mr. Wm.. Toney acted as secretary. The following delegates were present: White Town : O D White, E M Whatley; John Colemau, J A Walls, W T Rsynolds and J W White. Plum Branch: J H Wideman and W H Parks. . Rehoboth: C Strom and E C Winn. .Colliers: . D T Mathis and S G Hammond. Harmony: G A Wright. : Long Branchr A G Williams. Meeting Street: J J Padgett and J F Payne. Parksville : W R Parks. Red Hill: J T Littlejohn. Mr. W. E. - Sheppard a member of the Greenwood County Union was present.. The following delogates were elected to represent the county union in the state convention which is to be held in Columbia on December the 18th: WR Parks J D Hughey, Wm Toney, B D Kitchit?g, RB Smith. The dele gates were not instructed as to how they .ihould vote upon the various questions that would be considered by the convention but left to act as their judgment dic tated. The purchasing of guano for the next year was discussed by several gentlemen and it was the unanimous belief that the mern hers of the union should buy their fertilizers cheaper than they have b^en buying them. The following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year ; Hon. W. R. Parks, presi dent; J. M. Wright, vice-presi dent; Wm. Toney, secretary and treasurer; J.. F. Payne,xonduct or; Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, chap lain ; D. T. Mathis, door-keeper ; and H. W. Doboy, business agent. All who are acquainted with these gentlemen will agree that the union is well officered for the coming year and we believe that they will conduct the affairs of the organization in a wise and businesslike manner. It was tba sense of Monday's meeting that the farmers of this county continue to hold their cot ton until a sa'isfactory prico is offered for it. The meeting was closed,, with prayer by Rev. J. T.

Our town was deeply shocked on Tuesday morning when Mr. Wiley G. Wells brought the intelligence that Mr. Stephen Hammond was dead. Mr. Wells stilted to us that while orchis way to Edgefield be foufcd the body of-Mr. Hammond on the roadside about a mile above his home. Mr. Wells had to come to Edgefield to attend the meeting cf th? County Bo?rd but bc called the neighbors toother and they carried the body of their deceased friend to bis late hojie. The in terment will t?ke place to-day in the Ked 3^11 bunal ground. The shock to our people watf accentuated by the fact that-&fr. Hammond was in Edgefield on Monday and. mingled4 with his frieud3. He left Edgefield on hore?-back about five o'clock. Mr. Hammond was a good citizsn, kind and generous neighbor. He will be greatly missed in the Col liers community. The Advertisor extends tenderest sympathy to the bereaved wife Jand children who survive him. Women as Well aa Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Troubb. Kidney troubler preys upon the mind, dis courages and lesiens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness i:oon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased^ Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If thc child urin ates, too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it shculd be abie to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the trcdrricrit of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a hs'-Mt as mest people supporo. % i V/omen as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.
