Lthe highest honor.-JUNIUS. J
. . AB a result of the struggle be
tween Clemson's faculty and stu
dent body, forty-nine of the latter
made a "home run."
With railway fare reduced from
thieo to two and a half cents per
mile, the cut-price, bargain-hunt
ing ladies will be tempted to ride
more.
The decision of Hon. D. S.
Henderson, of Aiken, to with
draw from the race for the United
States senate is a great disap
pointment to bis Edgefield friends.
The liquor fight is on in Aiken
county. Every inch of ground is
being hotly contested by the whis
key and anti-whiskey forces, with
promise of victory for tb.9 latter.
The election one week from to
day will decide the matter.
Because the editor of the Au
gusta Chronicle has written a se
ries of very strong editorials
against political corruption and
"bossism," he has " been the re?'
cipient of threatening anonymous
lottirs. The man who has not the
courage to come out in open and
8ign his epistles, is too great a
coward to everex^cute his threats.
The first act of the in-coming
town council wi?l he the widening
of the side-walks so ?s to enable
ladies who wear the latest milli
nery creations to pass each other
without a head-on collision. The
new hats are so large that para
sols will bo discarded for the
summer.
Whether the faculty' or student
body of Clemson Bhall run the in
stitution in future, will be de
termined by the manner in which
the insubordinate cadets are dis
ciplined. The rules and regula
tions of a college, especially a
military school, should be en
forced to the letter, and with an
iron hand.
Abbeville's recent good fortune
suggests to one's mind this script
are: "Unto every one that hatb
j shall be given, and he shall have
) abundance." Through one of her
sons Abbeville^ won the United
' Stetes e?natorBhip, and following
closely upon that kindly dispen
sation of providence is an appro
priation of $75,000 for a govern
ment building.
Farmers are about a week be
hind with their work, and the
temptation to plant without thor
ough preparation will be very
great. It will be far better to de
lay planting a few days or a week
-ihan to put seed in the ground
without proper preparation. The
lack of thorough preparation will
not only result in a disappointing
harvest but will make the culti
vation more difficult and more ex
pensive.
Nominee of Populists.
There are those who had hoped
that the Hon. Thomas E. Watson
-had forever turned his back upon
his political vagaries of the past
and had become a straightout
Democrat, but if he accepts the
recently tendered nomination for
the presidency by the Populists,
all hope for his political re l emp
tion will be abandoned. Mr. Wat
son is one of the brainiest men
that Georgia has ever produced,
and great is the pity that he is
ont of harmony with the almost
solid south.
A Timely Suggestion.
While in conversation with The
Advertiser's representative a few
days ago, ^Mr. D. A. Tompkins,
Who has an abidirg interest in
Edgefield, expressed the opinion
that the town covers too large an
area for the installation of water
works, the expense being too great
for the amount of taxable proper
ty and population. He said, how
ever, that it would le practicable
the business men to erect a
d-pipe on or near ihe square
ind keep it filled to protect the
.business portion of the town. Mr.
ipkins did not state positively
an arrangement could be
? with the mill foi pumping
ff from Beaverdam into the
pipe, but expressed the be
at such an arrangement
could!be made.
Under this plan, the outlay in
furnishing fire protection for
property adjacent to the public
square would not be very great,
ould it not be well for the busi
i;.men to look iuto its feasi
Wot 3D. ti tied io Damages.
The uegro who was shot ii
Washington by Con^ressmat
Heflin, of Alabama, has brough
suit for $20,000 damages. The
sentiment aud conditions at th(
uationnl capital are Buch that t
verdict may bo awarded the de
fendant, but if the case were triec
in Congressman Heflin's nativf
slate, or in Soir.h Carolina, a jun
could hardly be found that woulc
give-bim a penny. The difficult;
was precipitated not because of ai
insult or injury to Mr. Heflin b\
the plaintiff, bul because the lat
ter was deporting himself im
properly on a street car iu tb?
presence of ladies.
Every true Southerner bonon
the man who, afc the risk of hie
own life, protects fair and inno
cent womanhood from the insultE
of a brute, whether the skin of the
brute be black or white.
Organization of Parents.
The sowing of "wild oats" mav
not be entirely eliminated ir
Edgefield, but can be largely cur
tailed by the parents of the boy?
and girls who in a f-?w short
years will be the young men and
young ladies of the town. Thej
should not only teach children by
"precept upon precept and line
upon line" in the home, but
should be interested in improving
the general conditions without the
home. Unless this is looked after,
the lessons that are instilled and
the impressions that are made
around the hearths'one will be
counteracted hy bad influenc?e
and bad asociales when the
children are away from home.
lu his admirable sermon Sun
day morning, Dr. C. E. Burts
sounded the keynote to the situa
tion when he stated that there
should be organization and co
operation on tho part of the par
ents of the community. In re
stricting their children and iu
providing pleasure and recreation
for them, let the narenti' act in
concert. Unless Iber*1 is co-opera
tion, thos e who endeavor to
properly teach and train their
children will have a vr-ry diffi
cult task, and, finally, will have
accomplished but little, compared
to the efforts that are put forih.
In a small community like
Edgefield it ought to be au *asy
matter for parents, particularly
the mot herb*, toc?me together oc
casionally and discuss among
themselves those things that
affect the welfare of their chil
dren so vitally. We emphasize the
mothers, because, after all, being
in more constant and more sym
pathetic touch with the children
than the fathers, tie burden falls
more heavily upon them. The
fathers should not, however,
shirk their share of the responsi
bility, but as their duties take
them from the home from early
morning till nightfall, they are
not confronted with as many exi
gencies iu child training as the
mothers.
Our Undeveloped Resources.
It is reported that Commission
er Watson receives letters almost
daily from people residing in the
Northwest who are seeking in
formation concerning agricultur
al conditions in this section with
the view of settling inScuth Caro
lina.
We do not know lo what ex
tent these iuquirers are interested
but hope that they are ;ntensely
in earnest, and that conditions iu
South Carolina can be so attract
ively set before them that they
will forthwith fold their tente
aud begin their journey south
ward. Along with the need of an
increase in the supply of wage or
day labor, there is a great need in
this state for emalJ, thrifty far
mers. Probably in no oth?r county
is the latter need greater than in
Edgefield.
Go in any direction that yon
wish from the county seat, par
ticularly north and west, and
you will find the country districts
very sparsely sot tied. Traveling
the Ninety Six road you pass only
about half a doz^n hornes, white
and colored, for a distance of six
or eight miles, and in going wost
from the town the settlers are
even fewer. Whib- south and east
of Edgefield there is a larger per
cent of the land in cultivation,
yet hundreds of additional small
farms c:uld b^ opened up.
Think of the va--t incoase in
the volume of business transacted
in Edgefield that would re-ult
from th?; cultivation of these
thousands of acr- s of idle lands.
It is not a:i exi g?ra'ion to say
that two loads of produco would
then bn sold on this market wh'-re
only one ii- s >ld now. The reason
our town has no stronger agri
cultural bucking is because the
resources at hand sr J not develop
ed, and we kn- w of no baiter way
to Iring about !he deeired end
than to induce bmail farm-rs who
are8- eki:g hornes io the south
land to settle in tbi& s^c'i >u.
Put Edg' fibld on your list,
Commissioner Watson, us needing
aud wanting small farmers of .th*
progressive, thrifty cla?8.

Edit?i Edgefield Advertiser :
I am a reader of
your valuable va per and b^g lo
say, while you aro giving pros
pective candidates for Congress,
credit for past services, it would
bo no more than f?Jr to these who
are unfamiliar with the public
record of Senator G. L. Toole of
Aiken cou ut 3' to say that we do not
know of any public mau in Sou'h
Ca roi i ua who ha.? accomplished
moro for his people. In our law
making body we have always found
him striving and advocatiugthose
measures thal have given Ik'
grea'.est advantages to the great
est, rumbfir of people.
Look at his ?trong and suc
cessful fight in the interest ot the
laboring purple, such a? the Child
labor and Tt?n Hour law, and also,
his victory for the two and one
haif cent cent passenger rate, the
justice of which is uow admitted
by the railroads, which tba peo
ple will 'jnjoy after April first.
His fight step by step for the pro
hibition cause, securing the pas
sage of the law which was bitter
ly fought, in the B; :in,e giving the
people the right to vole on the
liquor question in Aiken Co.

Bladder troubles mer: always result fren

obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys, if you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's

It corrects inability to hold urine and scald

unpleasant necessity of being compelled to

NATURE TELLS YOU.
As Many an Edgefield Reader
Knows too Well.
When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is nature's calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent action;
Any urinary trouble tells of kidney
ills. ' .
Doan's kidney pills cure all kidney
ills.
Lewis Hall, living on Main St., Lex
ington, S. C.. says: "I suffered from
kidney trouble for several years. There
were severe pains in my bael;, and my
kidneys were very irregular in action.
At times the secretions were very
copious while at others so scanty that
1 could scarcely void them at all. I
grew weak, lost fhjsh could not sleep
well and was nervous and frequently
irritated. I finally procured Doan's
kidney pills, began using them and can
honestly say that I never found a reme
-dy that gave me so much relief. I am
not as yet cured, but am improving
rapidly, and I have no hesitancy in
recommending Doan's kidney pills to
other sufferers.
