Why cau't Edgefield have au occasional game of ball this summer to aid in dispelling the ennui? The recent rise in cottou has caused many /a weather beaten bale to be converted into cash. More than a thousand baleB chaugod hands in Augusta in one day last week. _\ _ People had better begiu wearing large shoes as well as large bats. A young man died near Bamberg on Saturday from the effects of blood poisoning caused by wear ing a tight shoe. It has been reported for some time that Hon. C. W. Garris would be a, candidate for Con gress. These reports have beeu set at rest, however, by his announce ment for re-electiou to the legis lature from Bamberg county. Capt-. R.^H. Jennings, the gal laut old Confederate veteran who has served as state treasurer since 1900, has filed his pledge as a can didate for re-election. It is not be 'lieved that he will have opposi tion. The first pledge of the cam paign was filed with the state Democratic executive committee by Hon. W. S. Smith, of Hamp ton county ns a candidate for con gress from the second congres sional district. Mr. Smith is now ?tate seiator from Hampton. Owing to the stagnation iu the commercial and industrial life of the country, thousands of foreign ers who have been thrown out of employment are returning to their former homes across the water. The Republican party will have to answer for the unfavorable con ditions that now exist. ? two-ring campaign was de cided upon for -this summer by .tate oonvention. Argument for and against this plan of reaching the voters can be advanced. But, taking it all in all, it is probably better for the people to receive campaign promises in broken doses. The voters^of Aiken county will be talked well nigh to death be fore the primary. Besides the two campaign meetings for candidates who aspire to national and state honors, a schedule of sixteen county campaign meetings has been arranged for Aiken. Edgefield never has more than five-:the fewer the better. Entire Faculty Will Return. It is generally conceded that the commencement just closed is the best ever held duriug the en tire nine years that the South Carolina Co-Educational Insti tute has been located in Edge field. The exercises have not only reflected credit upon the students but hear testimony to tho fact that better work throughout every department of the institution has been done during the past session than ever before in the history of the S. C. C. I. That all of the present faculty will return next session, will be pleasing intelli gence to the patrons of this splen did institution. Sixteenth Annual Commencement of the South Carolina Co-Educa tional Institute. The commencement season which annually fills the entire year with expectation and ie Edgsueld's gay season, was per haps the tfery best in 1908. This commencement was attended by " a larger number of visitors than usual, and especially the alumnae alumhi of the institution. . Each year marks decided prog ress in all departments of work, and adds an impetus to the en thusiasm and loyalty of an al ready appreciative people. Graduates in Music and Expres sion. The school of music and ex pression have presented diplomas this year tJ one student in each department, to Miss Lillie M uv Baily in expression and Miss Edwardian Blalock in music. The first entertainment of commence ment was a joint recital by these two young ladies. Miss. Blalock who bas been known from jher childhood as gifted in miibic, by inheritance and training throughout the years has continued to develop, findin? a consummation iu ber gradua ting recital, which was greatl; enjoyed and her musical accom plisbineuts highly complimented Miss Blalock is not ouly the re ciipient of honors in the m?sica world, but is an artist of ability and a graduate this year in th literary department. Miss Bailey ?B the first gradu ate in the school of expression and every - selection given bot! pathetic and humorous mauifest ed a diversity of talent, iu thi much to be deserved attainment Miss Bailey is also a graduate ii the literary department, a inusi c?an both on piano and violin and an artist. On Wedneeda/ evening thi 22ud, the auutial concert of thi school of music took place iu th< college auditorium. The four solei were rendered by Misses Anni' Laurie Attaway of Beaufort, FraL ces Burgess and Emily Tompkins etudents under Miss Faunin Shep' pard, and Miss Madge Turner un der the instruction of Miss Couch, The young ladies who played it the quartette, duets, etc., were Misses Lura Mims, Nan Mellett Sadie Mims, Ellen McKio, Ruth Forrest, Weinoua Strom, Lil 1 ie May Buesey, Helen Strom, and Clara Frier. The vocal selections were beau tiful aud Miss Grace Frier aud Miss Roselle Bums, have already become a sufficient attraction ot themselves tn draw* a large audi ence in Edgefield. The school of music has never given a more delightful program than the ono of las1* Wednesday evening. Military Contests, The leading feature of the com mf.ucemeut ou Thursday morning was the company drill on the pub lic square at 10 o'clock, being a contest to determine which of ihe two companies, A or B, bad at tained the greater degree of f iii - ciency in the field movements. The judges were Capt. Claud* i?. Sawyer and Mr. J. M. Richardson, of Aiken, and Capt. Colvin. Com pany B commauded by Capt. Blacky drilled for about an hour, every movement being closely watched by the judges, and then company A in com maud ol'Cape. Iiumphreyg, march ed upon the scene and likewise drilled for au hour uoder the closest scrutiny of the judges. At the conclusion of the drill thp committee of judges annouueed their decision in favor of compa ny A. Both companies, however, made au excellent appearance, there being only a few poiutsiu favor of the winuing company. At five o'clock Thursday after noon, the hour set for the contest for the Burus-Colvin medal, the corps of cadets marched back up on the square, where for fully two hours they executed the manual of arms. The same committee of judges that acted during the morning contest served again in the afternoon. The two compauies were formed into a squad uuder the command of Capt. Hum phreys, who gave the commands in clear, audible tone. From the outset the hundreds of spectators manifested the keenest interest in the contest. As the ranks thinned the interest and enthusiasm be came more intense^ Finalty, all were thrown out except Sergeant Keels, of Summer county, and "Ser geant Knotts, of Lexington coun ty. For some time these two men drilled with perfect accuracy, nei ther making an error. The heated contest was brought to a cloRe by the failure of Sergt. Keels to exe? cute a command properly, which caused Sergt. Knotts to be thp happy winner. He was very gen erally complimented not only for his remarkable skill in the manu al of arms but upon his fine sol dierly bearing and the ease and grace with which he executed avery command. In a most befitting manner, Orlando Sheppard, Esq , present id the handsome Burus-Colvin medal to Sergeant Knotts. Stringed Instrument Recital. The audience on Thursday ?vening enjoyed a unique enter tainment, one of a different kiud from any previously given at com mencement season. Miss Couch bas gone beyond the ex pectations which her . splendid recommendation gave promise of, ind in thiscoucert of stringed in struments surprised and pleased ill of Edgefield. The students who participated in this program were Misses Lillie May Bailey, Rosa?ee Parker, ?lan Mellett, William Colvin, Clarence Black and Hoyt Dook, assisted by Prof. J.F. Entz ?ninger on the cornet and Miss ?ouch on the piano. Special praise vas bestowed on the soloists, Cadet Clarence Black and Hoyt Cook. v Art Levee. The attendance and interest nauifested in the art levee on Thursday afternoon ?was even jreator than usual. The large )aintiugs, drawings and beauti ul array of china painting re lived much favorable aud appre ?iative comment. Miss Eliza Mims han whom there is no greater irtist in the state, was the central .nd foremost figure in the studio, o whom all the praise for tho [rowing table of Edgefield in mat ers of art must be credited. School of Expression. Friday evening the school of xpression uuder the directiou of liss Tiedale, gave a play, "RP- ,'. eccaVs Triumph" which was nanimously"pronounced the best ' f many go?d plays given in the uditorium. This was the only 1 vening during commencement ' ii which tickets were sold and J lol. Bailey anuouucpd at the loee of the program that a larger ( mount had been taken iu tbau "r a any similar occasion. ^ Contests in Oratory. . The contest? in oratory each 1 ommeucement by the members 1 f the societies of the college are t Iways occasions of interest. On 1 Saturday evening in the auditori um in spite of inclement weal her, a large audience heard the con tests, the first of which was rep resented by Cadets Sanders and Vam of Ihe Freshman class, the former winning tho J. C. Shep pard mejal. Tba next contest was by Cadets Arriuglon and Boles of the Sophomore class, cadet Ar rington winning the Evans medal The two foo.it-ties were represent ed by Cadets Humphries and ?iugham, the former carrying oil' the honors for tho society. The medals for most progiess during the year iu oratory were presented by tho presidents of 'these societies, to Cadets Plowdeu of the Pierian aud Williams of the Bailey societies. Miss Ruby Lou Smith, of Mo doc, was the winner of the medal in the Fidelian society for most progress during the year. Misses Grace Frier and Lillie May Bussy recited in the elocution contest for the Turner medal. Both thes9young ladies are gifted elocutionists, but one bad to be chosen, eo the medal was present ed to Miss Grace Frier. Mr. Carter of Bamberg, iu a very bright and original manner presented the medals. Beautiful music was ren dered in a sextette by Misses Nell Junes, Natalie Padgett, Thelma Bailey, Ella Mays, Emily Tomp kins and Ruth Mays, aud a solo by Miss Nell Joues. Commencement Sermon. The most interest and enthusi asm of the commencement season gathers around those thiugs most immediately associated with tbe graduating exercises. Sunday morning was the occasion for the preach i ug of the baccalaureate sermon before the senior class. The Baptist church was cboseu as the largest audience hall, and it was full of enthusiastic and in terested listeners to the magnifi-? cent serctiou by Dr. Z. T. Cody, of Green vii I-*. A chorus by the vocal clai-s al the college. "The Lord is my Shepherd" was beautifully su "g. R^-v. L. D. Gillespie, of the Methodist church, conducted the exercises. On account of a nouring rain just ht the time fer going lo church, a large number of, people were prevent"d from attending the Sun day evuniug services. This was generally regretted by those who heard Dr. Cody on Sunday morn ing. Graduating Exercises. Monday morning at ten o'clock the most interesting eveut of the commencement season took place in the college auditorium, the cli max towards wbich all else had tendjd. The rostrum was occu pied by the faculty, speakers and the graduating clasn of sixteen young ladies and gentlemen. The first number was an essay by Mies Lizzie Mims, "Yet on," wbich was well read. Miss Mims is the only A. B. graduate of ber class. An essay "The Human Paradise," was read by Miss Lillie May Bailey. The orator of the class was Clar ence Black of Bamberg. The speech was an iuterestii-.g epi tome of South Carolina history, aud was said to be the best ora tion made during commencement. Hon. J. C. Sheppard in a yery ap propriate manner presented a handsome gold watch from the faculty and students to President Bailey. This was au entirely uu expected honor done to the. Pr si dent of our great institution, aud was received by him with deep emotion. Mr. Sheppard 'then* delivered the . diplomas to the following young ladies and gentlemen, in bis remarks inspiring them to be worthy recipients of this honor Minnie Aver, Earline Allen Walt-r Black, Willie Banks, Ciar ence Black, Lizzie Mirna, Cuttino Mellichamp,Trapp Bryan, Eogene Garr?s, Annabelle Meagan. Tibbie Padgett, Lillie May Bailey, Ed wardina Blalock, Charlie Fuller Lonnie Senders. Som Mays. President Bailey introduced, to the audience at this time Hon. C C. Featherstone, of Laurens, who completely won and captivated the large audience by ? mnffiiifi cenc address to the graduating class. He laid before the young men and women, the meaning of true patriotism and good citizen ship. This address has received more enthusiastic commendation by mor6 people than any perhaps ever delivered in Edgefield. On Monday evening the und graduates of the institution en tertained the 83uior class and young people of the town by a re ceptioo.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis :ourages and lesssns ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness ::oon disappear when the kid Sfr$L- - ncvs are ou' ?* or^eT or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent il that it is not uncommon J for a child to be born afflicted with weak kld jf-.- neys. If the child urta *T ates too of:cn, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet. afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as weil as men are nade mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

Many people never suspect their kid neys. If su tiering from a lame, weak or aching- back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urina ry trouble ??sets in they think it will soon correct itself. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's kidney pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Edgefield people tes tify to permanent cures. Mrs E P Jackson, Cedar Row, Edge field, S. C.. says: "Although I have not used Doan's kidney pills very long, what I have taken have helped me so much that I can endorse them as a good kidney remedy. I suffered so in tensely from pains in my back, sides I and hips that 1 could not sleep well at ? night, and felt little like doing my work. Upon learning of Doan's kidney pills, I procured a supply from Penn & Holstein's drug store and began tak ing them. I have received so much benefit that I am going to continue their use knowing that they will soon effect a cure." For sale by all dealers. Price 50cts. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.
