M IMS, - - - E DITOR TERM?: i ONE YEAR 51-50 SIX MONTHS .75 W?DNE5DA2, F^B. ,5, 1908. f When a man has net a goad reason for doing; a thing, he | has a good reason for letting it ? alone.-WALTER SCOTT. ; Cursed be he who casts asDer ?ions upon the "windiug-up" dis * pensary commission ! The resignation of the man in charge of the weather bureau is :? -in order. We've had enough of the kind he has been giving us. -. The Advertiser suggests to the legislators that they surprise the. \, taxpayers agreeably by adjourning before the forty days expire. .-,-:-. Speaker Cannon boasts of the fact that he never used an oath in his life, but he can hardly say .. that, his' tyrannical and arbitrary rulings havo not caused others to '?ii. swear. . As the Williamson syBtem "filled \nany au erstwhile empty crib with c.irn last year, Ejigeneld farmers can not. d> bitter than to try it again. Some political whispering s are occasionally heard, but candi dates will hardly b?gin their "raes" in this county before the road9 got better. A law providing for the enforce ment of labor contracts will pass both Houses without a hitch. It has beeu framed by very astute lawyers and wii'vnot be in con flict witb the''state or national constitutions. ? The dispensary commission ha? .adjourned to meet again on the ' eleventh of February. Th>short duration of their sessions is doubt less due to the unwholesomeness of the atmosphere surroundlbg the dispensary carcass Frequent breathing spells are uecessary. . The personnel of the present legislature, both intellectually . and from tbs standpoint of in tegrity of character, is conceded to be above the average for the past ten years. Some of the ablest lawyers in the state aro to be " found upon the floor of the senate and House. In order to relieve the congest ed condition of the dockets in somo counties, a measure is before the legislature creating a new judicial circu.it. Should the pro posed measure become a law, ' Edgefield will be in the eleventh circuit, which will also embrace the counties of Saluda and Lex ington. ___ ^ "While in conversation a few days ago with a gentleman who ie in close touch-with, the legisla ture, we asked why the daily pa pers are not reporting the proceed ings of the legislature as fully ae during former years, and he re plied: "They report about all thfct's worth reporting. The rest is tomfoolery." In these progressive days, there are several kinds of "watered" stocks. Besides railroad and other "watered" corporation stocks, ' there are said to be {"watered" dispensary stocks. According to the reports of som? Edgefield peo ple who have been slaking their thirst in AikeD, some of the liquor (hat is being dispensed in our sister town has considerable water in it-euough to freeze. In some sections of the state farmers are imposed upon by fer tilizer dealers who sell low-grade guano at high-grade prices. Thip can not be truthfully said of the Edgefield dealers. They are all honest m:n, and sell only reliable guanos at a small margin ofprofi\ When a farmer hanls a sack of gua no from Edgefield he ia assured that be has received full value for hie mouey. It is predicted that, there will not be a dearth of candidates) throughout the state on the prohi bition platform next summer. The | wise politician is keeping bis ear to the ground during these off monthp, and sers, the trend of affairs. The "water wsgon" has become very popular and will b9 crowded by those who want the votes of tho people." The lycf-um entertainments, consisting of lecture?, readings, musicals, etc, that have been given in Edgefield during the past five or more years have heen exceedingly beneficial to our town, morally as well as intellectually. ?'Or this reason, the citiaensof Edgefield,particularly the fathers aD<L mothers, should encourage and co-operate with the opera house manager.'* in their erm', mendable efforts to continue these lyceum courses in the future, Edfrefieid needs these bigb class entertainments. It sen m s that taxes in Son th Carolina are to ke? p jiace with the advanced prices along all lines. Thc etate levy was 4? Us last year and everything po* . .o a levy of 5 mills for tho . "*nt y< ar. President Roosevelt's attention has been called to the fact that a South Carolina woman, president of Lexiugton county, has beonn the mother of five children with in twelve months. Considering his great antipathy for race suicide, the.President was no doubt great ly dee-lighted by this pleasing intelligence from South Caroli na. Quita a number of farms not many miles , from Edge ?eld are lying idle this year on account of the shortage of labor, aud% yet some persons say immigrants are aot needed iu the south. As to the other portion of the cotton belt we are not informed, but the need6 pf^ Edgefield county along this line are ^reat. Elbeit county's been dry eo 'lorg Fhe don't see any difference sine? the prohibition law went into effect. Her exporienc MS that a town orcitycan prosper without liquor.-Elberton (Ga.) Star. Ana so can every other town that has any foundation at all. The t individual, town, county, state or nation that depends on liquor is leaning on au exceeding ly rotten prop.-Walhalla Courier. The 'own of Edgefield bas the honor of bein? located in a coun ty that voted out liquor, and busi ness for the year just closed reach-. ed the highwater mark. Several merchants have recently told us that their business for 1907 ex ceeded all former years. The Ad vertiser concurs most heartily in wha|. the Courier has said : That th? individual or the town that depends upon the liquor busiues? Tor succ?s is "lean-iug on an ex ceedingly rotten prop." -:-;- ? Save All The Manure. Keep the stable'lot well littered, says the Progress? vo Farmer, with leaves ai.d straw for the stock's sake and the land's sake. A load of manure in the stable is worth more to the farmer tban a eack of fertilizer at the factory. There is a great deal more in stable ma nur? than mere plant food. It con tains myriads of bacteria that in some way unknown to the aver age farmer break down and liber ate plant food iu the soil, which makes it of more value than com mercial fertilizer containing an equal amount of plant food. Save all the manure possible. If it does not lessen the fertilizer bill it will increase the crop production. On days when neither plowing nor other work can- be done, if they are convenient to the field, it will pay to haul rotted leaves and throw directly on the land. The fertilizing value will justify the hauling and organic matter added to the soil will also be help ful. County Farmers' Union. If tb.9 members of the Farmers' Union at large Nare as loyal as are the members of the Edge field county rnion, tbe. organiza tion will achieve greet things in 'he future for the agrjcu'-ural in terest of the country. Notwith standing the fact that Monday morning was decidedly the cold est of the winter, the members of tho union, came together and held their meeting according to ap pointment, some coming a dis tance ol' more than twenty miles. Everybody admires the mau who is unswerving in his devotion to duty and in his loyalty to a canne or to an organization. The meeting ou Monday morn ing was called to order by the president, Hon. W. R. Parks, and divine blessings were iuvoked by tbe chaplain, Rev. J. T. Little john. The , following unions were represented: y Parksvill?: Hon. W. R. Parks. Rehoboth: J. L. Gilchrist, John D; Hughey and E. C. Winn Red Hill: J. T. Littlejohn. Harmony : H. W. Dobey, W. F. Stillwell, WJQ. Toney and Mr. Cosey. White Town: G. S. Cartlidge and D I.Morgan. After the reading and approval of the minuses of the previous meeting, repo.ts from the recpnt state convention were made by Mr. Wm. Toney, Mr. J. D. Hugh ey and Hou. W. R. Parks. The new constitution which was adopted by the state convention was also adopted by the union of Edgefield county.: The queF-tiou of purchasing snjano for the crop of 1908 wap freely dipcuesed, b?t until th?ir plans are more fully matured the union has nothing to give out for pub icafion along this line. Tho holding of colton also cerne 1 np for dire ipsioj}, and th** ?ir-* vai'ing eentim^?t was that far T?ITS p?iould c?itinue to hold. The members of the onion b> 'ieve ?hat the staple will yet com mand a better price if a co.isid- ' erable quantity is withheld from the market.

What To Do. There is comfort iu the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidnej-s, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and skiding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liqdor,. wine or beer, and overcomes that "unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get np 'TnanV times during the night. The mild and thc extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands .the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. ~S?ld by drug gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent f ree i by mail.
