Senator Tillman has arranged
with the sergeant-at-armg of the
Senate to have Gleon Springs
water served at the national capi
tol. This will be a splendid adver
.iisement fot this excellent South
Carolina"water.
Those who are holding cotton
at their homes should see that the
bales are not allowed to lie upon
the ground, especially during the
wet weather through which we are
passing. Better sell cotton at a
low price thau allow it to become
damaged.
% Pome people are wondering what
will become of all tho'distilleries]
and breweries in the South now
that prohibition is putting them
out of business. Wby, turu them
into cotton mills,' knitting mills,
canning factories, aud the like.
The Orangeburg Sun.
That's right. Let these plants
produce those things' that sustain
life, rather than the things that
tena to destroy life.
For southern banks to file bids
for large blocks of government
bonds along with the bids of the
great Wall Sireet banks is some
thing new uuder the sun. The
Palmetto National Bank of Co
lumbia was~arnong the successful
bidders for the Panama bonds,
having] been awarded $200,000
of these bonds last week.
The janitor at the Mason ic-Tem
ple was-observed'; yesterday after
noon coming down stairs with a
Texas saddle. It^was only sym
bolical, perhaps, that something
is going to happen at the Grand
L:dge to-day..-jiews and Courier.
It seems that the Grand Lodge
"goat" is saddled for its riders.
~*~l? ha's been announced that the
Aiken coanty board] of control
purposes opening a dispensary in
North Augusta ovfr the protests
of "a vast majority cf the. citizens
of that town. Such imposition-and,
injustice will last only for a Bea
con. ^Itwas: just such a policy aB
this that contributed to the down
11 of the state dispensary.
Nowhere in the state can far
mers be found working * together
so harmoniously and?io profitably
as they are in the Piedmont conn
ties. Large warehouses have been
erected in many [of i;he leading
towns in which.thousands of bales
of cotfon'are' itored, but their lat
est undertaking^ the erection of
a large cotton mill at Easley. This
enterprise is backed by the mem
bers of-the Farmers Union of
Bickens and adjoining counties.
Saluda's Road Progressing.
The wprk on the Saluda road is
progressing rapidly, ?Specially
consideringithe bad'weather that
we have had. The"} road bed has
been graded a's .far .as, .the .old
Whitlock place and now that the
weather gives promise of being
good "?the work wilJL.be carried
along at a rapid" rate.-Greenwood
Journal.
The Advertiser is pleased to
know that tho railroad to Saluda
is not only a certainty but will be
completed before" many months.
For nearly a decade the business
men of Saluda have labored un
ceasingly for railway connection
with the outside world. At times
failure seemed to stare them i?
the face, yet they never became
discouraged. Saluda's growth has
been slow, but steady, since the
county seat was established. After
the railroad is completed and in
actuai operation Edgefield's
daughter will grow by ^eaps and
"bounds.
A Warning Sounded.
Ye postmasters, country mer
chants and merchants in towns
where there are no banks, be care
ful how you store away your mon
ey in drawers, desks and safes.
' An organized gang of safe-crack
ers.are at work in thi3 state. fh"y
have-visited Branchville, Mauld
iu's, Williamston, Pelzer and sev
eral other Piedmont towns during
the past ten days. Who knows but
that the next victim of these yegg
men may reside within ihe bor
ders of Edgefield county? The Ad
vertiser is not au alarmist, but
simply wishes to put thoie who
have r^?dy cash on their guard.
Better^keep sour money in the
banks.
Be on the alert for the."advance
agent" of these robbers, the one
who"goes lefore them and spies
out the land. He- usually repre
sents himself to be a drummer,
book agent or picture agent. -

Some Advantage.
Many disadvantages arise from
being located at tbe end'of ^rail
road track instead of bei tig on
trunk line, but, on tbe other hand,
there are some advantages. Just as
the wealthy northern people are
coming south in their palace cars
to escape the rigors of the winter,,
so are the-great army of "Weary
Willies" tramping their way to
the sunny south, or are making
the journey by stealing" rides OL
trains. As these migratory human
beings alwayB follow the main
lines, they often become nuisances
in many of the . towns and cities,
along 'tBe rout?. ?*fi a?Edgefield
is 6ix miles from the main hue
one seldom sees at. y real tram pf
here, consequently our town is
Dever annoyed by their depradi
tions or by having them beg their
dailv bread.
A New Suggestion.
The "ready pistol'1 problem ii
yet uneolved. Laws that have
abated the evil to some extent
have from time to time been en
acted, but no means have yet been
found that would prevent the
carrying of jin unlawful gun. In
this connection, a unique resolu
tion introduced at a recent meet
ing of the Beech Island Farmers'
slub by a prominent member of j
this very oil organization is
worthy of notice. The resolution,
which may be presented to the
?ext legislature, provides that the
owner of every gun be iax^d $5
per year and pistol owners .$10
per year, which mouey is to
?sed in equipping the Echcols
with military paraphernalia. If
all of the shooting irons, guns and
pistols of every description what
ever, were taxed-andwould that
Bvery pistol could be taxed out of
existence-sufficient money would
be raised to equip every school
with a first-class aresoal.
PreBaley-Burton.
The following is a copy of th9
invitations that have been receiv
ed in Edgofield to the marriage of
Miss Minta Pressley:
"Mr. and Mrs.- Andrew Thomas
Pr?ssly request the honor of your
presence at fhe marriage of their
daughter Minta Royal, to Mr.
Frank Mauldin Burton, on the
morning of Wednesday, the 18th
af December,-at half after teu
o'clock, at B*ome. Septus, Ander
son county, S, C."
Miss Minta Pressley is a niece
of Mrs'. J. W. Peak, and was for
several years a student of_ the S.
3. G. T. Being gentle, amiable and
possessing a very lovable dispo
iftion, she made many lasting
?rjende in Edgefield who wish her
nuch - joy- and happiness. Miss
Ruth Cogburn is tp be maid ?f
lonor and will leave in a few days
ror Anderson.
Woman's Mission soflteties.
The Christmas season iltalmost
it hand and it bas beun^ocided
ihat this year again the Christ
mas offering will go to China. Our
jontributions from the Woman's
Mission Societies will be appro
priated to the support of .Mrs.
lohn Lake, as at the last annual
meeting at Bold Spring, it was
igreed that ' we would attempt to
raise the salary of a foreign mis
sionary. As our association is sup
porting Rev. John Lake it waB
nought appropriate that we adopt
jirs, Lake also into our mission
iry family. The contributions
from Sunbeam societies will be
lent to the chapel at Yingtak,
Ubina. This added amount to be
rafsed will require' larger gifts and
jreater efforts.
Those societies which have not
fet-received literature and envel
ops for~"the Christmas offering
md week of prayer in January
mould order from Mrs. A. L.
IJfutcHfjerd;""Spartanburg, at once,
md distribute envelopes to all
?oeiety members at next preaching I
jervice, or as soon as couveniant.)
Try to observe at least one day in
January of the week of prayer,
?itber at church or at the home of
i member. At this service the en
velopes may be collected and con
;ents sent to Mrs. J. N. Cudd,
Spartanburg.
No society need be discouraged
if the contributions are small. If
sach society will respond to this
?ven in a small way, the aggregate
?viii amount to a good sum, and
?rill help us to meet our aim for
foreign missions. Those who can
)bserve the whole week as ? time
>f prayer will find great benefit to
;ho work and themselves.
