National politics bas for the timo eclipsed Btate and county politics, oven in Edgefield county. Will it ba Bryan or Johnson, Taft or Roosevelt^ or who? The farmers baviug failed to curtail the acreage of cotton, nature with the late, unfavorable Beasou is alieady curtailing the rtield. Mr. Hare announces this week tbat he will not be a candidate i for congress. . Wonder who will 1 mn? The aspirants seem to be elow announcing for the prize of $7,500 per year, besides the honor j i and perquisites. They say hoop skirts will bo stylish before the summer is over. Heaven deliver us! The modem bandboxes leave the men but lit tle room in the home,; with the advent of the hoop skirt not a cor ner will be left for the mau of the house. An exchange wants to know the exact value of a kiss in terms of dollars and cents. ^ According to a certain Edgefield young man, the value depends altogether upoii the parties involved in the head-on collision, Borne not being worth ?penny while others are worth a whole barrel of gold dollars. According to the latest official report pent out from Washington, the present acreage of wheat ex ceeds that of last year by nearly K two million acree, and the condi tion of the crop is 89 against 82.9 a year ago. This is pleasing infor mation to those who hf ve to buy . : every biscuit they eat. - The friends of jCapt. J. H. Brooks throughout Edgefield coun ty will regret to learn that he has declined to stand for re-election to the stat?? senate from Green wood county. Our state needs such on as Capt. Brooks in public e. " According to the Augusta Chronicle there were ll arrests in Augusta during the two days the : North Augusta dispensary was closed for the investigation of the Bhortage, whi]e for two days after the dispensary had re-opened 'there were 36 arrests. These fig ures show the bad effects of whis-1 key in a community. A. meeting bf the corporators of J the proposed trolly line was held ?D the office of Hon. B. E. Nich olson on Monday, and a commit tee consisting of Mr. W. P. Cal houn, Col. S. B. Mays, and Hon. W. A. Strom was appointed to so licit subscriptions for the build ing of the road. Insurance Commissioner Mc Master is making the insurance companies toe the mark. For many years South Carolina bas been in need of. an official whose duty it is to see that the insur ance laws are complied with and to safeguard in every possible : way the interests of the insuring public. Mr. McMaster is filling this important position splendid ly, measuring in every way up to the expectations of his friends. Pat Vagrants to Work. At this season when farmers are behind with their work and need extra labor, there is no ex cuse for idleuess on the part of] anyone. There are, however, a score or more of negro . boys and men about town who have no regular employment, being loaf- j ere and vagrants. It is the purpose of the town council to force this , idling class to go to work or make ' them leave town. This should be done in justice to the farmers in this vicinity who ? need labor, also in justice to the people of the town, for somebody is supporting these vagrants. There are also a number of wo men who are not earning a liveli hood by the sweat of their brow that should be made to work or be forced to leave town. Let's inaugurate an active cam- j( paign against idlers and loafers, lithe citizens at large will co operate with the authorities, the | j town can be purged ot vagrants in a short Time. White vagrants should be dealt ri tb in the same manner as col jr- j ] jd vagrants. There are some white, men in town who have no visible [j meant* of support, and yet they do not work. Such men are a burden j upoo any community, and are a t Vjery undesirable class of citizens, r Prohibition Reduces Crime. Judge Broyles, of the AtlaDta police court delivered an address on May the 6th.before the annual meeting of the Georgia Sociologi cal society, in which he set forth the advantages of prohibition as follows : . "Has prohibition decreased drunkenness and other crimes in Atlanta? I refer you to' the dock et of the polic? court for the first four months of 1907, when the sa loon was with us, and the first four mouths iii 1908, when the saloon was absent. I simply give the figures. As Daniel Webster said of Massachusetts. 'There she stands; she speaks for herself.' "Number of cases tried for tbe 5rst four months of 1907, 6,056. 4. "Number of cases tried for the Bret four months of i 908, 3,139. "Showings deorease during pro hibition of 2,917. "Number of 'drunks' for the 5rat four months of 1907, 1,955. "Number of 'drunks' for the ?rst four months of 1908,471. "Showing a decrease during y?ro libitiou of 1,484 cases of drunken ness in four months. "And yet there are many people ffho know nothing of the facts running np and down the state ind yelling at the top of their roices that 'Prohibition does not prohibit.' "Yes, these dry, inanimate fig ares speak to those who listen a wondrous story. They tell of hun ireds. yes, pf thousand*!, of faith ful wives into whose pale and wan Faces the roses are beginning to bloom again. "They tell of hundreds, yea, of ihousands, of little children who io longer pale and tremble at the jouud of their fathers' footsteps apou the threshold of their hum bie homes! They tell of hundreds, pee, of thousands, of long suffer ing and devoted mothers who no longer Bit late into the night wait ing and praying for their wander ing boys-but now, with her boys 3afe with her at home, there is a new light in her patient eyes, aud a new song in her devoted heart." The people of Edgefield do not have to go to Atlanta, however, to be convinced of the advantage of prohibition in curtailing lawless ness. The police records of our town w hile whiskey was sold com pared with the records under pro hibition furnish onvinci ng proof at our very door. Further more, the Edgefield jail bas been without a prisoner for two months, which is the first time probably in the entire history of the county that the jail has been without a prisoner for BO long a time, -- ff Memorial Exercises. Probably nowhere in the &tate orin the entire south wis Me aorial Day more fittingly or more beautifully observed than in Edgefield on Monday. At three o'clock the Daughters of the Con federacy, the Confederate veter ans, the Behool children, and the military, consisting- of the Edge field Rifles and the S. C. C. I. corps of cadete, gathered at the court house, formed a procession and under the direction of Gen Thoa. W.- Carwile, marshal of the day, marched to the opera house. The column was beaded by the Riflemen, next came the cadets, then the gallant veterans, who were followed in tarn by the boya and giris and members of the local chapter U. D. C., all beariag wreaths and flowers to be placed upon the gravea of the Confeder ate dead. The large s' ge in the opera house waa beautifully decorated with flowers, evergreens and the Confederate colors. A larger au dience than waa present on this occasion probably never assem bled in Edgefield before. Gen. M. C. Botler, aa master of cere monies, requested Rev. T. P. Bur gesa to open the exercises with prayer. A aolo, "Just bbfoie the battle, mother,'' waa next eoftly and sweetly sung by Mra. John R. Tompkins. A recitation, "Me morial Day," by little Miss Flor ence Peak was the next number on the program. Gen. Butler then introduced Prof. Yates Snowden, of the University of South Caro lina, the orator of the day. For moie than half an hour the speaker held the earnest attention of the audience while he read a very admirable address. Great is the pity that so valuable a paper, from an historic standpoint, can not be printed and circulated among the younger generation. After a chorus of patriotic ?ira by more than a acore of Behool girls, clad in Confederate colors, the Crosses of Honor were present ed by Gen. M. C. Butler to a num ber of veterans. It was very gen erally regretted that all who had applied for cro3sea could not be present. A collection amouuting to $25.00 waa taken to aid in placing a monument over the unmarked graves of the Coufederate a?idiera who were buried io the Edgefield cemetery. Tb6 benediction was pronounc ad by Dr. C. ?. Burta. , Upon the conclusion of the ex srciaPB 'in the opera house the march was resumed. After placing Bowers - and wreaths about the monument, the graves in the Catholic cemetery were decorated iud then the assembled throng re paired to tho village cemetery ?rhere all of J the erave8 of Con federate eoldiers wer? covered vitb flowers. . After the completion of the af eruoon's program, the Daughters >f the Confederacy served delight ul ice cream aud cake to the vet rane on the Addison lawn ad oining thp Baptist church. AH honor to the members of be Edgefie'd chapter of the )anghters of the Confederacy for bis beautiful observance of Me Dorial Day ! Extracts From Letter From Mrs. Lula Lake Brockman. Tbe following aro some extracts from a letter written by Mrs. Lula Lake Brockman, to a friend. Air. and Mrs. Brockman, and Mr. Brockman's mother, with the baby, Willis Blocker Brockman, one-and-a-half years old. are now living in Soochow, China, where Mr. Brockman is ? professor in the University of Soochow: "It seems to me we get busier and busier as i he days go by, bul we aie happier for it. l am teach ing one period each day in the Laura Haygood Memorial School, a girl's school under the Woman's Board. I teach a class in English. You would be surprised to U9ar how well tbey read and spell. "Mr. Brockman is ju6t as busy now as he can be. He has such a splendid in flueuce for-good among the Ch?mse, as well as the for eigners. We are going to more and more Chinese meetings now since we understand the language bet ter, and going into the homes of the people more I have been to four meetings this week, and this is only Thursday. But still we have time for other things. We get up at 6 o'clock, have break fast at seven. Mr. Brockman goes to school at eight o'clock, aud I give from then until nine entirely to the baby. We build block houses, play with.the Teddy bear, etc. If the day is pleasant, we spend that time out of doors. Al ten, I go to my ilass at Laura Haygood. "We have tiffin at 12:30. At one I begiu' my Chinese studv with my teacher. We study till three or four o'clock, and then we go for au exercise, pay calls or go to meetings.; The evenings we usually give to reading. Usually Mr. Brockmau reads, while moth er and t isew or do other things that can be done quietly. The baby goes to sleep at six and sleeps well until next morning. "Once a week, we have a Chi nese meal, and eat it with chop sticks. Most of our garden is planted with corn, green pea?, bunch beaus, lettuce, okra and radishes, and will plant other thirgs its soon as the grouudis dry euo'agb. lt is raining now. We have a splendid garden spot, and Mr. Brockman ^nj ys the work. It gives us exercise. We have some p?tty flowers to">. Sent to Edgefield for a yellow jessamin vine, but I do not know that it will come to us alive. One of our! friends had a rose sent from home and it bas doue nicely. I sm going lo try to get a Mareeba! Niel some of these days. Do you re member the oue we had in Edge field? We have Dad a beautiful violet bed this winter. It. has boeu full of blooms most ' of the time. We Bep.t a large bunch to one of the hospitals the other day. The Chinese love flowers so much and they do not have violets. I enjoy so hearing from the friends and loved.ones in Edgefield." Program Commencement Ex ercises 1907-08. j Wednesday, May 29lb, .8:30 p. m. Annual concert of music, piano and voice.

Mr. Wiley Wells is in commu nication with Congressman Pat terson concerning the establish lishment of a fish hatchery in Big Stevens Creek. Siuce the dara was constructed across the Savannah at the locks, shutting off the fish from bsilow almost, entirely, the Rupoly of fish io Big Stevens creek and its tributaries has gradually diminished until there are, approximately speaking, more fishb'Fs Ftrearos iu Edgefield coun ty'han in any other streams of like siso in the state.

In announcing the arrival of toe new rifles to be isfued at tha meeting Thursday afternoon. I wish to remind the company that wo are receiving most excel lotit treatment at the hands of the ad jutant General's department, and we ow? it to the state, the county, and to ourselves to show our ap preciation by making unusual efforts to br ng the company up to as high state of efficiency as possible before the encampment on June 18th, It is eucon agiug to note also the inter?s!. Wi?o in the 0Rg?? zation bv toe citizens and lad Ve s of Edgefieid. to whom the thanks of the company are return sd for their presence at drills, frequent expressions ! ? confidence, aud the substantial g&sistanca rendered by many busilis and professional men of the eily. There will be a drill at 7 p. ra. Wednesday and another at 7 p. m. Thursday. W. A. Collett, Capt. Corn and Cash. Corn in the crib is just like cash ic the bank. Most farmers who have corn at this season also have cash. Theie are very few farmers who have cash and no corn. The man who buys corn at this time has to send out of the couu try cash that would be very ac ceptable at borne. If York county should raise all the corn she needs there would be a great deal mora cash than there is, because approximately speak ing, every bushel of corn that comes here from the West pinch es one dollar oft' tbe circulation. All good business men have more or loss appreciation^ the extent to which corn is a money crop. It is only those who have less business capacity who hold that there is uo money in com. It is very rarely the case that a farmer who makes enough corn to ruu him uutil the next crop gets into financial difficulty, and it is almost as rare when a farmer who fails to riake sufficient corn to run hie place gets to the next crop without trouble.-Yorkville En quirer. Butler B. Hare Will Not bea Candidate for Congress. ,Mr. Editor: As many of the people of the second congression al district of South Carolina are expecting me lo be in the race for Congress this summer, 1 thiok it nothing lees thau my duty to say for th^ir beuefit and *or the bene fit of those who may expect to be in the race that I will not be a candidate this summer. Having been appointed a spe cial agent hy the United Slates GovHrnm?nt to make .some investi gations as to the employaient of wom-n and children in the cotton t xt i I? industry in the eouth and New England staten, and as this aiv-ri me an excellent opportunity to study the relation of wnpes and capital-what I c'hsider the greatest problem our American Congress has for solution to-day sud wi'I be for several years to come, [ have decided to completo the investigation ?nd not be a candidate for Congress earlier than 1910. Rffipectfullv, Butler B. Hare. Lawrence, Mass. Mhz Gunters* Recit?l. Owe wi luo.uio?t l?uioughly eii jovable recitals of the -year at Converse was that of Miss Nannie Gunter, the bli pd daughter of Mr and Mrs. U. X. Gunter, for cer tificate in voice. Mies Gunter has one of the purest and sweetest voices in our city and her recital was all that could he desired. For three years she has been under Ihe instruc tion of Miss Elsie Dorat at Con vene College, also taking piano under Dr. A!d?n, while she has made remarkab'e progress asa blind student. For some time 9he( was ai Cedar Springs Institute. ? Miss Gunter wore a lovely soft shimmering silk dress elaborately trimmed in lac3 and oriental banda. She received quite a large number of lovely flowers. Mies Gunter's home is in Bates burg. Next year sbe intends to teach.-The Spartanburg Herald. Profitable Session of the Sunday School Convention. While possibly not so largely attended as during former years, the I?ter-Denominational Sunday School convention held at Parks ville last week was an exceedingly pleasant and profitable occasion. It wis impossible for the writer to attend but we have heard good reports from the convention through several sources. The officers elecUd were Rev. T. P. Burgees, president ; Rsv. Royal Shannonhouae, vice-presi dent, Mr. W. J. Johnson secretary and treasurer. The executive com mit tpo IR cimposed of Mr. J M Shnff-r,Mr. G M Smith, Hon. T H Raiusford L F Dorn and Dr. C E Burrs. Quite a number of very strong Bp?pchf>a werri made, chiefest among ihpm being an address by Rev.'J. L. Harley, of Spartan bur?, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. Resolutions were introduced commet ding the v.'ork of tho League, and con demoing the publication of liquor advertisements by newspapers. The h??spitH 1 it y nf the good ppop!?-- of Parksville was unbound ed. In many respects the capital of the \Wet-f?ide is an ideal place for holding conventions. The next confution will b^ he'd at McKendree on Wednesday and Thursday before the second Sun day in May, 1909. The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There ls a disease prevailing !n this sountry most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by Jrif? It - heart disease, pneumoiua. heart failure or apoplexy r~ are ofter, the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the _^ kidney-po is on ed - blood will attack the r.ow&?iinv vital organs or the kidneys themselves break dov/n and waste fev/ay cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from d. derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys, if you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may have a sample bottle of j this wonderful new dis- | covery and a book that tells all about it, both li?me of Swamp-Root, sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y.

Kidney Diseases are too Danger ous for Edgefield People to Neglect. The great danger of Kidney troubles is that they get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health is gradually undermined. Backache, head ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the certain and safe remedy, Doan'3 kidney pills. H. B Sommer, living on Main streat, Aiken? S. C., says: "I have been using Doan's kidney pills during the past few months and the results were so satisfactory that I am free from the pains and languid feeling which had annoyed nie for a long time. I used this remedy after othars had failed, and thc results . were so satisfactory that I heartily recommended it to oth ers as a very reliable kidney medicine." For sale by all dealers. Price 50cts.
