Not a Candidate. . While the e'ditor of Tue Adver tiser was shaking bands with friends in the great throng at Mc Keodree on Sunday last Borne one remarked?"Are you a caudidatp, -?oo?"? We replied with an em phatic "No." In the first place, we have no political aspirations, pre ferring rather to pursue the eveu tenor of our .way "far from the madding crowd." In the second place, observation has taught ue tbat'it is the part of wisdom for a newspaper man to stay out of politics of every kind whatsoever. It is unquestionably true that in a vast majority of cases when the editor of a newspaper outers the political arena, his influence, and the influence of his paper as well, suffer to somaextent, However we do not wish to be understood as discouraging or disparaging; those of other 'professions and callings who aspire to enter pub lic life, for it. is a worthy and ?Bao? .i. .* .. very laudable ambition. In this connection, we wish to express our sincere appreciation to scores of our friends in all parts of the county for their es teem and confidence in urging us, both in person arid by letters to become a candidate for the House of Representatives. . Vagrancy Cause of.Crime. In commending' The Adverti ser's editorial of last week on "Put the Vagrants to Work," Judge James W. DeVoro express ed the opinion that lack of en forcement of the vagraut law in South Carolina is the cause of much of the crime that is com mitted. Judge DeVor'e said that . in his charge to the grand jury during the recent special term of court in Lexington, he stated that the real cause of the muruer of Mrs. Ellisor by the Tolan negroes could be traced to the non-en forcement of the vagrant law. Had the perpetrators of this foul murder, who were vagrants of the moBt "objectionable type, been 'forced either to work upon a farm or upon the publio roads, they would not have been roaming over the country upon a mission of robbery and murder. * In this position Judge De Vere is unquestionably right. ? large per cent of the criminal class, whether in town or country, comes from the ranks of the un employed. Therefore, the enforce ment of the vagrant la*w will not only facilitate tbs work of the farmers and other lines of busi ness, but will to some extent pre vent the commission of crime. Every rural community and every town-Edgefield included-^ has & shiftless, idling class. If these people will not work of their . own motion, let's enforce the law against vagrancy and put them to filling up some of the holes in the . public roads. Supervisor Self could use'sev eral hundred vagrants to advan . tage right now. A Bit of Church History. > Tho writer has frequently won dered why McKendreo was oc casionally , called Sleepy Creek church, and on Sunday last WP learned a bit of church history that explains the dual name of the - church. While engaged in con versation with Dr. W. D. Ouzts, who can converse very in terestingly and intelligently upon almost any subject, we were ?u.- i formed that when the pioneer] Du'ch settlers planted their colo-j ny in what is- now known as the McKeijdree, section they estab lished a Methodist church about midway between Pleasant Laue i and McKeudree and called it Sleepy Creek church! It seems to have been the custom of mauy of our Cbriatiau forefathers to name their churches after some nearby Btream ; hence, Sleepy Creek, Stevens. Creek, Mountain Creek", Horn's Creek and Rocky Creek churches in this county. The original. Sleepy Cruek church was constructed of logs, the material-of which all of the buildings of the pioneer settlers were constructed. After the topee of years anew and, preuumably, larger' house of worsbij) being needed, the present McKeudree church was erected. A new loca tion, about two miles east of.the old mother church, was selected and the new church, was called McKendree, being named for a minister who was serving the cir cuit at that time. Through babi.t, many persons for years afterwards called the new church Sleepy Caaik. This bit of church history, will explain to the younger gener ation why McKendree church is sometimes called by two names. Graded School Closed. The Pession of 1907-08 of the Edgefield Graded School closed with very appropriate exercises oil Thursday morning. Without omit ting a single lesson, Mrs". Grenek er, Misa Jennie. Pattison and M?SF Hortense Padgett, the teachers of the first five grades, much to their credit and to the childreu as well, arranged a beautiful program which was faultlessly carritti out. Quite a number of parents ard several of the trustees wpre de lighted spectators. . The following is the program: Song of Greeting. First and Second Grades. Recitation-Glover Tompkins. Dialogue-Sa'lie Mims and Margaret May. Recitation-Ouida Pattison. Recitation-Eileen Harliug. Third Grade: Recitation-Harold Norris. Fourth Grade: Debate-Affirmative: Florene1 Mims, Mell Burgess, Annie Mf.y Timmous, Lucile Chappell. Nega tive: Rainsford Cantelou, Eldred Simkins, Glover Lowe, Irene Par ker. Recitation--Mell Burgegs. Recitation-Florence Mims. "Fifth Grade : Dialogue-Gladys PadgettvLiz zie Roper, Evelyn Edmunds and Ruth Lyon. \ Recitation-Griffith Merritt. Class song. At the couclusion of the pro gram, Col. F. N. K. Bailey made a brief statement conserving th* graded school. He commended the teachers for their v?ry faith ful service, stating that in his opinion more satisfactory work, taken asa whole, had been done this year in the graded scboo than ever before. He said that the corps of teachers had be^n enlarged each year as the pablic funds warranted, and that au other teacher will be added next session. Some uninformed persons are of.the opinion that Col. Baily re ceives a portion of the public money for superintending the graded school. This is not the case. As he stated on Thursday, Col. Bailey does not receive a pen ny for bis work in superintend ing the public school, every dol lar being usedtopay the teachers. The date in September for the opening of the next session will be announced later. Union Meeting.

Missionary sermon Sunday by Rev. P B Lanham. Children's Day at McKendree 1 Beautifully Observed. A record breakiug crowd at tended Children's Day exercisos ai 1 MoKeudrne ou Sunday U?*t. Ai any ! old persons who were prient de clared that they had never bifore seen such a l^rge crowd at the chufch. Not half of the throng j could be seated. Indeed, it is doubtful pvbetber tho church would bave held tho ladies and ; children, io 6ay nothing of the meu and-candidates. After tho Sunday school was over, Rev. J. C. Roper, presiding elder of the Cokesbury district, ? preached a very timely ard prac tical sermon upon tbe "Parable of the Talents." Although the. bour.e t was literally packed, almost two . deep in iome of the seats, and the perspiration trickled freely down ? one's anatomy, the speaker held . the close and sympathetic atlen- j tion or the audience. .At the conclusion of the ser mon the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was very beautifully ob- 1 served. Next came the social feature of i the day-an adjournment of two i hours for dinner. Very boon after I the church was vacated, the throng gathered about the score I or moie of heavily laden tables that were arrauged about the ! church yard. And if the table to 1 which it was the writer's good fortune to be escorted is to be taken as a sample of the dinn-r at McKeDdree, we might write i columns about it and then the half would not have been told, i People may cry "bard times" iu i some sections but there are no i '.bard times" around McKendree. When the President entertained 'be Con fe renca of Governors al the A bite House last weak thp feadt .spread before thom could- not have surpassed tbe dinger served at McKendree on Sunday. Young tran, if you want a wife who < knows bow to prepare and serve a dinner fit for King Edward, s^ek the hand of a daughter of a Mc Kendree mother. No doubt the-e were moro people present than the housewives exp?ctfcd, yet after everybody's appetite bad been satisfied great bask^s full of nie things were left. When the congregation re-ap sembled in the afternoon, ibo Children's Day exercises were held. Nearly a score cf bright lit tle boys and girls took part iu ?he beautifully arranged program of marches, songs, recitations and choiusoe,aud all of them perform ed their parts very creditably. There was one feature of the ex ercises that was particularly beau tiful and suggestive'of heavenly things. About a dczen sweet little girls kuelt i,u a-group about a cross and sang softly and sweetly .'Jesus keep me uear the Cross." The beautiful flowers that were arranged about the altar and chancel brightened the loveliness and heavenliness of this scene. At the couclusioD of the regular pro gram, Mr. J. L. Minas was called on for a short talk. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Shaffer, Mr. W. E. Turnerand others are/loi ug a great work among the children aud young people of McKendree church, and it is to them tbat those who enjoyed last Sunday's exercises are largely indebted. The Advertiser bids them God speed! One Negro Killed Another., On Wednesday afternoon Lee Tillman, colored, shot Waller Weathers, colored, and deatb re sulted on Thursday morning. Magistrate N. L. Brunsou held the inquest OD Thursday as pro vided by law. Both negroes lived on the farm of Mr. Julian R. Strother, the former being his croppar and the latter his wages ha?d. Sheriff W. G. Ouzts went up cu Thursday and arrasted Lee, lodging him in jail. Through his attorney, S. McG. Simkius, Esq., application for bail was made be fore Judge DeVore, S. M. Smith, ?6q., acting for Solicitor Timmer mau. Bail was granted in the sum of $2,000 but the defendant boing u.aable to secure bondsmen, ie still in jail. We are not informed as; to the cause of the homicide but understand that there is a woman back of the trouble. Appeal From Hon. W. R. Parks to Farmers to Organize.

If there ever was a time to hold, it is now, cotton bas advanced^ of a cent per pound in ote week. Wbat is the cause? Is it because, trade conditions are better or a cause of necessity? Futures cannot be spun and wov en into cloth, if they could, cotton would not have made this advance. Do not let a little advauc^ in price influence you to sell. Hold on till the minimum is reached. Remember the cotton broker has sold your cotton to the mills, now make bim give the minimum be fore be gets it lo deliver to the manufacturer. They are calling him for cotton is why it has ad vanced. Now boys, freeza to it, and the price will get right. The spot cot ton is in your bauds, and it is yours. The other fellow is begin ning to waut it badly now. Re member 4,500,000 bales short means something and the short age is all in your favor. We all know tnat crop conditions are bad, not only east of the Missis sippi, but west also. The colton crop is at least 3 weeks late and bad stands, and tae cold weather has caused much replanting. Every day will have to be an ideal day from now un til the crop is made for us to du plicate the 1907 crop. Miss Giles says the general condition of the crop is 15 per cent better this year than last. Remember this is only guess work with her and is a guess that is far wrong. Sbe gets pay for th ii? guessing. The European Mills now want colton and they will need 1,000, 000 t ales more of American cot ton this year than they have been using. The Egyptian and India crop is 2,000,000 bales short and . l-hey have been getting most of that cotton. High grade co:toa is scarej, 1 not enough lo Mil orders that have bfjf n contri c ed for.
