AU honor to Mayor Rhett 1 Be
tween skirmishes with the rail
roads and blind tigera he finds
time to entertain the orphans of
his city. For several years Mayor
Rhett has from his private fuuds
provided elaborate Christmas
trees for the hundreds of inmates
of the Orphan Homes of Charles
ton.
Tbs people of Union say they
want a dispensary in order to
drive out tigers, and the people of
Charleston say they want to get
rid of the dispensary because. it
breeds tigers. It both destroys
and produces tigers. There has
always been something strangely
anomalous about whiskey. Men
drink it in wintt>r to keep warm
nd in summer to keep cool.
In some counties the dispensary
sales were upwards of $2,000 c
day last week. Are you not glad
that our people did not spend
auch enormous sums for whiskey?

without the dispensary this mon

blind tigers got, was spent for

Eaters Seventy-Third Year.
With this issue The Advertiser
enters upon its seventy-third
year. Through peace and war.
prosperity and adversity this
newspaper has been published
continuously since 1835. And it
is upon this ground that it laye
claim to being the oldest news
paper in South Carolina. Others
place their birth farther back in
the last century, but their ex
treme age bas come through con
solidation of two papers, taking
the age of the older of the two.
Not since the first issue of The
Advertiser was taken from the
crude press seventy-three years
ago has its name been changed or
has its publication been inter
rupted. This is a unique and very
remarkable record.
In this connection, we wish to
thank the Edgefield publio for
the very liberal patronage accord
ed us. For nearly six years the
present editor has been at The
Advertiser's helm, and during
that time the subscription list
has steadily grown and the ad
vertising patronage has increased
more than fifty per cent. It is our
purpose, to make very decided
improvements upon The Adverti
ser during 1908.
Seaatbr Tillman Sakes Good.
Washington dispatches tell us
that Senator Tillman is looking
after the enforcement of prohibi
tion in the states that have re
cently veted out tbs liquor
traffic. In order that this may be
done, he proposes that Congress
shall pasB a law which will pre
vent the unrestricted shipment of
liquor by express companies into
dry territory.
If Senator Tillman succeeds in
doing this, be will do something
that will prove of untold benefit
to tb* moral and financial inter
ests of the South, and he will de
?erve the thauks of all good ruen
?verywhere.
By the way, did not the Seua
tor make the declaration once
apon a time that if certain con
ditions prevailed in South Caro
lina he would stump the state for.
prohibition?
We believe he did, and now
that the tide is turning the Sena
tor may be buckling, on his har
ness for the good work. We hope
so,' and that on the stump in
Bvery part of the state next sum
mer Ben Tillman will speak aud
hurl such anathemas agaiuat the
accursed liquor traffic as only he
san handle.-Greenwood Jour
nal. v
Urging Repeal ol Lien Law.
The lien law must go. If the
papers throughout the state re
flect the wish and sentiment of
the people, and it is probable
that they do,. the lieu law in its
present form will not remain a
great while longer upon the stat
utes. The Farmers' Union, botb
tn the county organizations aud
in the state convention, has de
clared against it. Farmers in soma
sections of the state who aie not
members of the Union have also
passed resolutions urging the
legislature to repeal the lien law.
It was doubtless needed atnne time
but under the changed conditions
the law, instead of promoting his
interests, opeiates against the
farmer.
There is a large number of in
dolent, thriftless negroes who are
unwilling to work for wag^and
who at the same time are incapa
ble of farmi?g successfully on
their own account, yet under the
lien law* they can purchase a
cheap mule, rent a piece of land,
obtain advances and conduct their
town farming operations after a
fashion. When the end' of the
year comes but little more than
the rent has been yu ade. If not al
lowed to remain on the same land
this BO called farmer will move
elsewhere and repeat the farce of
farming on his own account.
The lien law system of farming
has contributed more toward im
poverishing the lands auc de
moralizing labor in this Btate than
any other one cause. And the
sooner a change is made the bet
ter it.wili be not only fo: agri
jultural interests but for all lineB
rf business.
Honey.
(S. CHEATHAM.)
. There is quite a difference in
the boney produced in different
sections of thiB country. In Floria
la we have honey from the orange
blooms. Ih New York the great
bulk of the honey is gathered
from buck wheat. In the middle
west and western states the bees
get most of their honey from
Bass wood or "Lenden." In Cali
fornia most of it is gathered from
Mountain Sage. In the irrigated
lands of Utah, Arizona, Colorado
and other states, where-they ; can
water their farms bp'artificial
means they have i?^4fiS?^.aJil
iiiali?'CiCAjer gr?rnr^rrjps of hen
}j are harvested. Sr
There is a very, marked di?er
moe in the honey from these
different sources. Some of it
sifter being extracted remains in
the syrup state for a long time
without granulating or "going to
sugar," whilo honey from another
source remains in the syrup state
only a few days or weeks. While
i great many people do not un
derstand granulated boney and
abject to it for one reason or an
)ther, it is ' one sure test of its
purity, and there is no belter hon
3y produced anywhere than well
ripened granulated hooey. "In
order to keep alfalfa boney and
fall honey in this locality from
granulating it would have to be
adulterated ;. with Glucose, and
then of 'course it would not be
pure honey, being v?ry inferior
to the pare article.
IQ this locality we usually har
vest two crops of honey. The first
jrop we take sometime in June
which the bees gather from vari
ous flora, such as maple, fruit
olooms, poplar, persimmon and in
fact now if not all blooms that
produce seed afford nectar for the
oees. And this spring honey that
?re get in this locality never gran
ilates, but remains in the syrup
?tate almost indefinitely. Our
second crop which we take about
:he first of November the bees
gather from the golden rod and
:he wild aster and it is a very fine
;rade of boney, being usually
;hick and very bright. This sec
>nd crop ie perhaps the equal of
my honey produced, but it gradu
ates in a few days or weeks after
jeing extracted. All the same, it
s as pure as honey can be and as
people become educated to it,
.hey learn to like it. A great
nany prefer it to any other. Those
vho prefer to use it in the syrup
?tate nave only to warm it gradu
ally till it go's back into syrup,
mt don't let it boil..
A very patisf?ctory way to melt
t back, is to set the jars on the
>ack of the stove for ab <ut half a
lay 01 set them in a vessel of
rater on the stove and let them
?eat slowly to near the boiling
joint but do not let it boil as th?t
srould injure the quality and
cake it dark.

HOLLEY-ENTZMINGER.
Very Brilliant Home Wedding
. Near Aiken.
It was the writer's pleasure to
attend the nuptials of Prof.
James F. Entzminger and Mis?
Lena* Grace Holley on Thursday
eveuing, December the 19th. The
wedding was hpld at the elegant
country home of the bride's pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Holley,
two miles out from Aiken. lu this
union of th* lives of a universally
popular ms'dent of Kdgefield and
a fair and widely beloved daugh
ter of Aiken, new ties have huen
formed between the mother town
and county, Edgefield, aud her
fair daughter, Aiken.
Ab the guests appr. auherl this
boppitnble home on this wedding
occasion, the brilliant lights that
sent their beams far into the
darkness without, betokened the
warmth, gr-od cbeer and happi
ness within. The hundred and
more guests were greeted by Mr.
and Mrs. Holley, who were ansist
ed in receiving by Mrs. S. G
Matthews, of Williston, Miss
Lula Holley and Miss Meter Sum
merall. The great cordiality with
which strangers were greeted made
them fp*l that they were in the
midst of life-long friendp.
The gathering of th? immediate
relatives and personal friends of
the bride and groom in the large
front parlor announced that the
momentous hour bad arrived, and
as the wedding march pealed forth
from the piano in response to the
magic touch of Miss Mary Cross
land, the bridal party began to
enter. First came the bridesmaids.
Miss Bessie Hawley and Miss
Alma Burckhalter, beautifully
attired in white silk tissue with
pipk'girdies, bearing bouquets of
pink carnations. The maid of
honor, Miss Jennie Holley, the
beautiful sister of the bride, next
entered, being clsd in yink point
d'esprit over pink taffeta, also
bearing a beautiful bouquet of
pink carnations. The groom next
entered on the arm of his best man,
Capt. R. B Cain, and was joined
immediately by the bride who en
tered upoD the arm of her father.
The beauty of the charmine bride
was heightened by the gracefully
flowing veil that enveloped her
form aud by the exquisite gown
of white chiffon over taffeta mrde
en train.
Dr. C. E. Burts in his usual
impressive and appropriais man
ner pronounced the words that
united the ^lives of tho hsppy
young couple. After Heaveu's
richest ble?sings war? invoked up
on them, friends and loved ones
showered congratulations and
good wishes upon Mr. and Mrs.
Entzminger.
Seldom do human eyes behold
such au elaborate and elegant
home wedding. The beautiful
decorations io the long hall, in
the parlors aud in the spacious
dining rooms, baffled description.
The color scheme, red aud green,
was minutely carried out, and all
of the decoratious were evidently
arranged under- the eye of a per
8o? possessing the talent of au ar
tist.
Soon after the ccremouy, all re
paired to the two large dining
rooms, one being set apart and
especially arranged for the bridal
party. Here it was that the good
old, southern hospitality was
evidenced most. The sumptuous
wedding supper that loving hands,
had provided.in sncka.ot-varis
?T .-rr"-: wc rt Ub ",U ? im- -?sr
The huudreds, literally hun
dreds, of handsome presents, con
sisting of silverware of every
name and description, cut glass,
china, cutlery, and paiutings bore
ts-igible evidence of the very high
Bsteem in which the bride and
?room are held among their
friends both far aud near.
After the wedding feast was
over, hasty adieus were said and
Mr. and Mrs. Entzminger hurried
away to catch the 9:30 train for
Florida to spend a fortnight.
Mr. and Mrs. Entzminger will
reach Edgefield on to-morrow,
Thursday, aDd a very cordial and
affectionate greeting awaits th9m
from our eutire citizenship.
rtie Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths?
There j. ls a disease prevailing !n this
ountry most dangerous because so decep
tive. Many sudden
deaths are caused by
it - heart disease,
pneumonia, heart
failure or apoplexy
are often the result
of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is al
lowed to advance the
kidney-poisoned
blood will attack the
vital organs or the
ddneys themselves' break down and waste
iway cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result frcm
t derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
ibtained quickest by a proper treatment of
he kidneys, if you are feeling badly you
:an make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
jladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ng pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
jo often during the day, and to get up many
imes during the night. The mild and the
jxtraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
.ealized. It stands the highest for its won
lerful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold

All persons owning property of j
any kind whatsoever, or in auy
capacity, ER husband, guardiao.

All male citizens betweeu the
ages of 21 and 60 years, except
those exempt by law, aro deemed

As the law now requires the Au-j

January and count a penalty of I
one per cent on all delinquents
and as his office is also required
to be kept open on certain days
during the months of January sod
February, for the benefit of the
county pension board, it usa]
physical impossibility for bim to

Rheumatic Folks,

Mauy rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid i:i the blood. But the
duty pf the kidneys ?6 to remove
all uric acid from the blood. Its
presence there shows the kidneys
are inactive. Dou't delay with
