Planning to Mbiye to Edgefield.
Mr. M. B. : Sturkey was in
Edgefield on yesterday and it was
the writer's good fortune to have
a leDgthy chat jvith him. He says
labor is very scarce in his section.
Up to this time' he has ouly one
hand on a four-horse farm. Mr.
Sturkey is exceedingly anxious
for Plum Branch to have trolley
connection with tho outside world,
aud if they are unable to secure
any other road, the people of
Plum Branch will connect with
the proposed electric road from
Atlanta to Augusta. This road
will run within six miles of
Plum Brauch. Mr. Sturkey has
four children and is giving them
good tducatioual advantages. He
is noxious to move his family to
Edgefield io order to seud his
children to the South Carolina
Co-Educational Institute, aud
feels confident that he can perfect
his plans by next fall. A most
cordial welcome awaits him.
Very Creditable Showing?
There is not a colored church
in the county that is more thor
oughly alive and progressive than
Macedonia, the Baptist church of
the colored people in Edgefield.
Several years ago they tore down
their old church aud erected a
spacious and substantial building
iu its stead. Ou laBt Sunday the
membeis of the church held spe
cial exercises for the purpoee of
taking a collection, the funds to
be used in painting the iuterior
of the church. The sum of forty
odd dollars was raised, which WBB
an exceedingly creditable show
ing. R>*v Frank Weaver is pas
tor of the church, and some of the
most active workers among the
laity, aro Andrew W. Simkins,
Wallace A. Morgan and Robert
A. GreeD. There are probably
many other sctive members whose
names are uot familiar to the
writer.

Teaches the. Morgan School '
Probably there are many
schools in the county that have
had good teachers for years, but
we have in mind one in particu
lar that has been well taught, and
that is the Morgan school. For a
long time pr ior to bis death, Gol
T. C. Morgau, presided over
this school, and now the patrons
have been fortunate in ftecuring
the services of Mr. Robert A.
Cochran. While in Edgefield on
Monday looking after some busi
ness matters, this sterling citizen
of Rehoboth told the writer that
owing to the scarcity and un
reliability of labor he decided to
reduce his farm and yielded to
the solicitation of the patrons of
the Morgan ? school. The father's
and mothers of that ' community
are to be congratulated upon their
good fortune in ^securing Mr.
Cochran's services.

ALL DRUGGISTS: I
A CArd From 2ir. E. E. Nicholson.
I regret ex?Q? dingly to have to
appear in a newspaper article in
a personal way ; but on account of
the fact that I have been informed
that Eome of my friends do not
understand why I did not vote for
the Nash prohibition bill, I de
sire to call to their attention the
platform upon which I was elect
ed, which will ehow them why '.
could not vote for a state prohib?
lion bill whichelimniated all cou >
ty option features, at the last sos
sion of the General Assembly.
The following is a correct state
ment of my platform with refer
ence to the liquor question, upon
which I was elected, and is taken
from the Edgefielb" Cbrooicle,
bearing date August 2nd. 1906.
"Mr. Nicholson ii in Favor of
Abolishing J the State Dispen
sary.**
"The last of the candidates for
the^ legislature announced by
chairman Bussey was the Hon. B
E. Nicholson. Mr. Nicholson's
platform in a nutshell, if written
by himself, would be: 'I am in
favor of abolishing the state dis
ppnsary, and of leaving it to the
people of .each county to decide
whether a county shall have pro
hibition or a county dispensary.
Personally, I have always been in
favor of prohibition, and expect
to vote for, and stand for prohib?
tion in this county ; but I believe
that this question should be set
tled by the people of each county
for themselves, and that the will
of the majority should govern. I
am opposed to the repeal of the
Brice law."
I am sure that my friends will
realize that I could not disregard
the; platform upon which I waB
elected, and which I had solemnly
pledged myself to support, if
elected. I feel quite sure that
there is no citizen in the county
of Edgefield who has a deeper in
terest in the promotion of tem
perance than I have. I haye givon
more time, thought and Rtu iy to
this question than any other su b
ject. However, deep my interest
in a cause may be, and however
strongly I may feel inclined to it,
[ hope that my personal feelings
?hall never cause me to overlook
the rights of others, or to disre
gard the promise I made to the
people of my county.
' This statement is not made by
way of apology, or for the benefit
jf any persons who have sought
:o criticise me, while knowing the
slatform upon which I was elect
*d, but is made for the benefit of
inch of my friends as may not
lave heard my speeobes in the
campaign, or may not have seen
he , newspaper accounts of my
flatform.

Good For Everybody.
Mr. Norman R Coulter, a promi
nent architect, in the Del ber
Building,. San Francisco says:
"I fully endorse all that has been
said of Electric Bitters as a tonic
medicine. It is good for every
body, lt corrects stomach, liver
and kidney disorders m a prompt
and efficient manner and builds
up the system." Electric Bitters
is the best spring medicine ever
sold over a druggist's counter; as
a blood purifier it is unequaled.
