g Laws are generally found to
" be nets of such a texture, as thc
little creep through, the great
break through, and the middle
s sise are alone entangled- ?
?bSHKISTONE. _J
Oadge Pritchard seems to have
his "back np," and refuses to
budge an inch. Let us hope that
Ihe Supremo Court will annul his
receivership order.
There will be no reduction in
- the "acreage" of candidates
- throughout the county this year.
Many good men are offeriug their
services to the people.
. ; If you want to see some blood
ed hor8es,and, incidentally, hand
somely gowned women, go to the
...horse show to be held in Augusta
on Thursday aud Friday of this
week.
The call published in this issue
to the clubs to meet and re-or
ganize, in a sense, marks the for
mal opening of- the campaign.
Candidates shoul I uo longer halt
between two opinions, but come
boldly to tue front and make
ready foi this summer's great
political jamboree.
Farnum, an alleged dispensary
grafter, has turned up after com
pleting that notable busiuess trip
. which took him from the borders
of the state for more thau two
" mouths. By many persons his
% prolonged absence will be con
strued as prima facie ovidence
that his dealings with the dispen
sary were not altogether as
straight as they should have been.
Needed in Washington.
- The Advertiser heartily con
' curs ia foe following editorial ut
terance in The Greenville News :
"It is to be hoped that Senator
Tillman's condition will continue
to improve rapidly. Without in
anyway reflecting upon Senator
Gary, this newspaper feels that
interests of South' Carolina
L of the nation would suffer in
absencej?f^tbe jemojL&enat?fe
ital, and hiB absence especial
it this time, is a matter of se
is concern to the people of the
te." .
Who WiU Go?
he railroads aro now running
usions from some parts of the
* to Charleston iu order that
people of the interior may
Magnolia Garden at a season
i its transcendent beauty is
. height. Why could not a
p^ go down from Edgefield?
The cost of the trip would be a
mere trifle compared with the ex
quisite pleasure of feasting one's
eyes even for a few hours upon
the multicolored azaleas that
grow in such great profusion upon
the banks of Ashley. Great is
the pity that such flowers are
"born to blush unseen" by sb
many eyes that are in easy reach
of~them.
Deserves the Honor.
Mr. William E. Gonzales, the
. editor of Tb.6 State, is one of the
ablest, most persistent and most
uncompromising, champions of
the Democratic cause in this sec
tion of the country, and, in rec
ognition of his unceasing efforts,
it is highly probable that he will
7)6 chosen as one of the delegates
at large to the national Demo
cratic convention from Soulh
Carolina. In him the Democracy
of the state would have a loyal
aud faithful representative. Fur
thermore, he is in perfect accord
with the people as to who should
be nominated Democratic stand
ard bearer in the approaching
campaign. The Advertiser would
be pleased to seo Mr. Gonzales
chosen as one of the delegates to
the Denver convention.
Raise Necessities at Home.
Taking into account the greatly
advanced price of labor and all
lines of merchandise, eight cents
cotton next fall will be almos! as
great a blow to the farmers as
five cents cotton was twelve years
ago. Although the planting season
is near at hand, cotton lias steadi
ly decliued for some time. Who
knows what the price will be
eight months hence?
The producers being powerless
nuder present conditions to fix
the price, the wise and prudent
farmer will Lot put all of his
eggs in one basket, the cotion
basket, this year. Better be on the
safe side by growing an abundance
cf corn aud other necessities at
home, rather than grow all cotton
expecting to buy what is needed.
Misdirected Federal Injunctions.
Talk about freedom and this
liberty loving laud of ours, why,
many farmers in Kentucky dwre
not plant their fields in tobacco
this year, lest the "Night Ridera"
destroy not only their tobacco
bains, but their homeB also. If
the governor and other officers of
the law in the stats of Kentucky
iii their impotency fail to protect
honest, lawabidiug citizens from
continued onslaughts of the mob,
then it is proper- for the national
government io take a baud, with
out violatiug the principle of
"state rights." '
A Federal judge could with
batter grace eojoiu the Kentucky
"Night Riders" than a South
Carolina dispensary commission,
the former being flagrant viola
tor? of the law and the latter
being eugaged in part in appre
hending violators of law.
Encountered "Live Wire."
It is safe to say that The State
will not be annoyed hereafter
with advertisements of a perni
cious or fraudulent character. The
management of that enterprising
newspaper can not be too highly
commended for the. promiuent
part it played in entrapping and
bringing to justice George A.
Bristow, the scoundrel whose
business it was to lure and en
snare unsuspecting young women.
Even the maximum sentence of
the law which he bas violated is
too light for him,' not in keeping
with the degree of tin offense.
Bristow ought to have known
that he was tampering with a
i:live wire" in using the advertis
ing columns of a newspaper of
The State's type for oilier than
legitimate purposes.
UNION MEETING.
Large Attendance, Interesting
Exercises, Delightful Din
ner at Berea.
The writer spent an exceediug
ingly pleasant "clay at Berea on
Sunday last iu attendance upon
the uniou meeting. It- was gener
ally conceded thal the crowd was
the largest that had ever ga^bi^d
at Berea. Extra seats w? re car
ried from the nearby school house
into the church, but with this
increased seating capacity not all
of the people could get in the
church.
.The Sunday school hour was
taken up with a discussion of the
lesson set apart for that day, the
subject ||being Temperance. Short
tel&-?9fflB>rf? miBsYonarfser
mon was preached^ by Dr. C. E.
Burts in his usual earnest, force
ful and effective way. Numerous
favorable comments upon the ser
mon could be heard on every
hand during tho dinner hour.
A bountiful and exceedingly
delightful dinner was served in
the good, old-fashioned way, by
having all spread their baskets
upon one long table, to which
everybody was invited. The great
trouble at Berea |is not m getting
something to eat but in trying to
keep from eating too much. So
insistently and persistently do
the whole-souled hosts abd
hostesses press th9 tempting meats
and sweetmeats upen their guests
that one finds himself almost in
need of medical attention before
he can tear himself away from
the table. Notwithstanding the
tremendous crowd, great baskets
could bave bien filled after
everybody had finished eating.
After spending the mid-day re
3ess very pleasantly in a social
svay, the crowd rotumed to the
:hurch and the program of the
lay was resumed. The afternoon
?vas set apart for a Sunday school
nasd meeting, the first speaker
Doing Mr. Robt. T. Strom. He had
>n!y fairly begun his excellent
iddress when fire broke out in a
aew-ground adjoining the church
property, the wind having fauned
iome smouldering embers into a
lame. There being more smoke
han fire, the congregation-mag
lified the danger- in their own
ninds and almost stamped^
)n account of the excitement aud
onfusiou, the moderatorjadjourn
d the meeting. Thus abruptly,
.nd to the disappointment of a
arge portion of the congregation,
he pleasant and very profitable
inion meeting at Berea was
Drought to a close.
?The next union of the 1st di
'ision will be held at Gilgal on
lay 30th aud 31st.
New Railroad Rates.
The new rates go iuto effect to
lay, a flat rote of two and a half 11
euts per mile being charged be
weeu all points in the state. Ex
ess fare of 15 cents will be charg
d where passengers pay on Ihe
rains instead of purchasing a
icket. Th? former faro to Trenton
ras 18 cento but now 15 cents;
o Aiken 71 cents, now GO eeuts;
o Augusta 95 cents now 80 cents;
3 Columbia $1.86, now $1.55.
Called to Meet.
To The Dimicratic Clubs of M
?dgefield County :
Pursuant to call of the State
?emocratb Executive Committee
ou will meet at your usual places t
f meeting on Saturday, April ^
5th, to re-organize and elect j
elegates to the county conven- 1
on, which meets at Edgefield on *
[ay 4th to elect delegates to the *

B. Y. P. U. Convention.
Tho fct'?ti? convention of the
Bnot?st Young People's Union
will be ?ii id in Greenwood on
April 6, 7 and 8th. Col. F. N*. K.
Bailey aud Dr. C. K. B?rts have
been assigned prominent prrts on
the program. Greenwood is an
ideal place to bold such a conven
tion. "Ibo objection to meeting in
large enies, is the temptation to
go sight seeing instead of attend
ing the sessions of the convention.
Qaaries-West-i
Mr. William Quartes and Miss!
Sallie West were quietly marri? d j
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. J
VV\ Quartos on Sunday .afternoon j
last, the Rev. J. T. Littlejohn
officiating. These very popular
and widely beloved young people
have the good wishes of a host of
Prienda for a long and happy mar
ried life. Mr. Quarks is salesman
for Mr. Ernest Quartes, tho pros
perous young Red Hill marchant.
The Advertiser extends hearty
congratulations. .
Will Celebrate April 9 th.
The colored people are ar
ranging for the celebration of tho
45th anniversary of the emanci
pation proclamation at Edgefield
on April 9th. While the procla
mation was issued on the 1st day
of January, the colored people
have chosen the 9'h day of April]
for their annual celebration on
account of the weather, which is
more favorable nt this time of
the year than io mid-winter. Be
sides having Eoveral Kpeakers
here on that occasion, several
braes bands will be in atteudanc,
and they are expecting a great
time.
Edgef iel dian Represents Univer"
. sity.
? The first annual meeting of the
S'ate College Preea association
was held at Converse college last
week. Mr. J. C. SVeponrd, Jr..
wr.s a deb-gate from the Universi
ty ot Soul lt Carolina, being also
one of tho vice-preeidenta of the
association. At the bai rpiet given
at the Spartan inn on Saturday
evening, Mr. Sheppard was one of j
the a'U-r dinner speakers, res
ponding ?o the toast, "Our Suc
cessors." John, as Edgefbldknowa
him, is making a good record at
the University. Besides bring a
bard student, he has a prominent
part io whatever the student body
undertake?.

and lengthen your days by rais

"homiuy.''
Damages From Heavy Rains.
The friends of Mr. P. F. Salter
regret fhat he hus sustained cou.
siderable loss by having the dani
of his large pond near Trenton
very materially damaged by the
heavy rains of last week. We do
not know to what extent it will
interfere with his grist mill, but
if he is forced to close down,
there are many mouths in Edge
field that wiil miss the excellent
meal that Mr. Salter has been
delivering in our town.
Another loss on account of the
flood of last week, was the drown
ing of a noise in Andersou branch
not far from Hardy's church. A
Jewish peddler who carried bis
stock-iu-trade through die coun
try in a wagon, instead of ou his
buck as in oldeu times, drove in
to the stream with the result that
his horse was drowned. The driv
er and owner of the animal be
came frightened and escaped from
the rear end of the wagou without
cutting the unfortunate horse
loose.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
aften expressed, that Dr.' Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in euri::;.; rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
md every part of the urinary passage,
it corrects inability to hold wate:
ind scalding nain in passing it, or bad
?ffects following use of liquor, wine or
jeer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
luring the day, and to get up many
.hues during the night. Thc mild and
he extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
s soon realized. It stands the highest
'or its wonderful cures of thc most dis
ressing cases. If you need a medicine
,-ou should have the best. Sold by drug

WHAT THE KI ONEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
Jirougb the kidneys once every three
ninutes. The kidneys filter the blood,
rhev work night and day. When healthi
ly they remove about 500 grains of im
mure matter daily, when unhealthy
lome part of this impure matter is left
n the blood. This brings on many riis
?as'.'S and systems-pain in the back,
leadache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
heumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of
;he eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir
regular heart, debility, rlrowsinesss,
iropsy. deposits in the urine, etc. But
f you keep the filters right you will
lave no trouble with your kidneys.
Walter Dorn, Cedar Kow, Edgefield,
>. C., says: "I u.sed Doan's kidney
oils and consider them a fine remedj
or any trouble arising from the kid
leys. 1 was a victim o? kidney com
>laint for a considerable length o''
ime and my back often pained me t:o
everely that I could hardly do my
rork. My kidneys acted too freely and
he secretion-? were unnatural in ?p
tea'rance. Upon learning of Doan's
idney pills, I went to Penn & Kol
