HAWES? J
Edgefield's name was left ont of
the pot when appropriations were
made in Washington on Monday
for pnblic buildings. Aiken and
several other towns were given
950,000 each.
Fighting the Charleston "tigers"
with injunctions is like fighting
the devil with kid gloves instead
of fire. The Advertiser holde,- first,
last and always, that a term on the
chain gang is th?? most effective
way of vanquishing "blind ti
gers."
Columbia's streets can not be
paved with politics.-The Slate.
If street paving could be done
with politics, not only Edgefield's
leading thoroughfares but every
back alley in town could soon be
paved in first-class style.
Perhaps it would be well for old
Hamburg to be incorporated, ar
ias been suggested, so the Aiken
board could establish a chain of
dispensaries along (he banks of
the Savannah. Why not give the
county dispensaries ovor the state
plenty of rope and let them soon
hang themselves as the old moth
er, the statp dispensary, did?
Fully Two Weeks Late.
The Advertiser has received let
ters from a number of representa
tive farmers over the county dur
ing the past W?ek, and, \ii*b one
accord, they say that all work on
the farms has been delayed by
the rains at least two weeks. The
question is, how ara farmers go
ing to catch up? It must be done by.
reducing the acreage of cotton or
through.hasty and improper prepa
ration of the soil for planting. By
all means let it be a reduction of
acreage ! With labor limited and
unreliable, thore is a world Of
trouble, as well as financial loss,
a-head for the farmer who over
plants, especially after starting
two weeks behind with his farm
ing operations.
Too Many Delegates.
Some complaint has arisen over
the election of* a greater number
of delegates to the County Demo
cratic Convention by some' of the'
clubs than .they are entitled to
under their actual enrollment.
' This irregularity is doubtless due
to the fact that the'elub rolls are
not revised every two years as
they should be, the names of per
sons who die or move away being
allowed to remain on the rolls.
We publish herewith the fig
ures of the last primary, which
give approximately the actual en
rollment of the clubs. With these
figures as a basis, it will be seen
from the list of delegates to the
county convention published in
this issue that several of tjie clubs
have not elected as many dele
gates as they are entitled to under
the Constitution, which i& one
delegate for every twenty-five
members and fraction thereof. Gu
the other.hand, it will also be seen
that some of the clubs have elect
ed larger delegations thau they
should have elected.
One club has elected five dele
gates more than it is entitled to
under its actual membership,
while another has elected six
mor? than it should have elected.
Several clubs have one or two
more thau their actual member
' ship allows."
Complaint has been made by
\ "some of the weaker clubs on the
gro.und that their representation
io the convention is offset or
practically annulled by delegates j
from some of the stronger clubs
who are not really entitled to par
ticipate in the deliberations of the
convention.
The facts and figures show that
this complaint is well founded.

Notwithetauding the fast that
it has involved considerable ex
pense iud labor, The Advertiser
publishes this week the names of
the delegates to the county con
vention from all, except one, of
the twenty Democratic clubs in
the county. We bava done this
not only for the* benefit ot our
readers, but the subjoined list'will
also serve as a roll when the con
vention assembles OE Monday
next, thus saving considerable
time and confusion. The Meri
wether clubs were consolidated on
Saturday afternoon last; hence,
both clubs, as they formerly ex
isted, are represented by the gen
tlemen whose names appear as the
del-gatc-? from Meriwether.

and with entire satisfaction to tbe

A GOOD REASON.
Edgefie?d People Can Tell You
Why it is so.
Doan's kidney pills cures the cause
of disease, and that is why the curc3
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the'liquid poisons that cause backache,
headache and distressing kidney and
urinary complaints. Edgefield people
testify to permanent cures.
C B Gray, Main St., Edarefield, S. C.,
says: "I am very willing th?.? my
name should be used in recommenda
tion of Doan's kidney pills for the rea
son that I know them to be a valuable
remedy. For. some years I .was bother
ed by backache which became qnite se
vere at times. There was also a dis
order of the kidneys* which caused me
additional pain. A few weeks ago I
learnad about Doan's kidney pills and
concluding to give them a trial went to
Penn & Holstein's drug store and
bought a box. A short time after I
began using them I felt much batter
and I am continuing to take them
i'ealing sure that my trouble will soon
be disposed of'"
