While the editors are away the "devi'B" will play. UDC?9 Josh Ashley is out for the legislature from Auderson county, and Bays he is going down to Columbia to "show the boys how to tnk.9 care of the taxpay ers' mooev." Witb Geu. Luke E. Wright as secretary of war, when the Japs engage '-Uncle Sam" in mortal combat it will be a case of "Shoot Luke or give up your gun.". To ba reading so much of Oys ter Bay during "the good old s'im mer time," when the bivalves never appear on the menu cards, ie not according to the fitness of things. ._ That was a good automobile which carried the tbree-huudred .pound Republican presidential nominee and bis party fourteen miles iu nineteen minutes. Better get one like it wheu you purchase a machine. By publishing conspicuously meagre report* of the campaign meeting, the daily papers have the candidates so securely muz zled that they can only clo vio lence this hot weather to those who attend the meetings and not to the reading public at large. A noiseless candidato is a bless ing.-News and Courier. Then, thrice blessed is Edge field. Her candidates are thus far the most noiseless, bfst behaved set that ever went fofth to kiss the babies and shake the hands of the dear people. Four southern states have with in the past twelve mouths enacted state-wide prohibition lawsf and now the fight is on in dead earnest in Texas. Some form of temperance legislation is certain to be Ihe outcome of the present agitation. In fact, many_ prohibi "Boon be numbered among ?he dry states. To contrast the simple, unosten tatious burial ceremony of the nations former chief executive, Grover Cleveland, with the pomp and gaudiness ?that characterizes the burial of departed sovereigns in the Old Country, makes one feel proud that he is an American citizen. It is true, newspaper men han dle a little more cash during cam paign year; but every dollar of it IB earned. They not only do more work but get more "cusein" while a campaign is on, and, further more, some people say editors have to do a whole lot more lyiu' during campaigu year than they do in off years. Farmers in this county used to' speak almost altogether of their cotton, but now you scarcely meet one who does uot in the course of the conversation make some refer ence to his fine corn. The ex ploitation of the Williamson method of growing corn has had much to do with the increased in terest that is being taken in corn culture. We saw au advertisement the other day which stated that tho owner of a rebuilt automobile de . sired to exchange it for a small farm. It is to be hoped that no one can be found to accept the offer, for the man who would be willing to exchange a farm foran automobile, especially a second hand machine, is likely to need Dr. Babcock's attention before the latter returns from his Euro pean tour. Farmers' Union Rally. Elsewhere in this issue we pub _ lieb a communication from the secietary of the South Carolina Farmers' Union announcing a periea of public rallies and inaee meetings io be held in the second congressional district iu the in terest of this splendid organiza tion. Tuesday, July 7lh, ie the day set ior th? rally at. Edgefitdd, and it is to b? hoped that a large number of farmers will assemble here on that day to hear the Hon J. Belton Wai son. of Auderson explain the principles and pur poses of the organization. Postmortem "WellDones." Innumerable tributes of a vary high order have been paid the late Grover Cleveland iu ali paris of the country; many of them coming irom persons and news papers that formerly gave utter ance to vary harsh criticism of tnis distinguished American statesman. How much better it would have been to have strewu some of these flowers about Mr. Cleveland's pathway while he lived, rather than to have with held them all to be heaped upon bis bier. Death did uot make him any better man. If he deserved to have 60 many nice things written and said of him after his eyes could not see them nor his ears hear them, certainly he deserved them - while he lived. After all, post moitem "Well doues, tl ough most frequeutly bestowed, are worth but little. Let'B Le slow to speak ill of any one, and remember that it is bet ter to scatter a few petals along the pathway of au individual than to place a whole wreath of rosee upou their graves. Withdrawn From Race. Ou account of ill health and actirg upou the advice of his physician, oui good friend Mr. Albert P. Lett has with great re luctance been forced to withdraw from the supervisor's race. His formal card will no longer appear in our candidates' column. He, as well ss hundreds of his very loyal friands over the county, regrets that his physical condition made this action on his part necessary. Mr. Lott said that he might with considerable discomfiture have held out io go through the cam paign, but if electedne would not be able to properly discharge the duties of this important office. So after due consideration, be de eded that in justice to himself and the people he should with draw from the race. Will Establish Office Here. Mr. L. rT. Quarles, who has rep resented the Singer Sewing Ma chine Company in tuis 3?6tion very successfully for some time, informed us a few days ago that it ie the purpose of the company to establish rn office in Edgefield lit an early day. Mr. Quarles will be placed in charge, and several anc'its under his mauageraeut will travel over this county and portions of adjoining countiee. He has arranged with Messrs. May & Tompkins to make their store hi3 Edgefield headquarters. A limited number of machines will be kept coustantly on hand, the stock being replenished as sales are made. Bank Formally Organized. While in Edgefield on Monday, Mr. R. J. Moultrie told us that he attended a meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Parks ville on Saturday, at which a per manent organization was effected by the election of T. G. Talbert, president; Wallace Robertson, vice-nMBident and W. P. -Parke_ Parks, YO. Talbert, L. F. Dorn, W. P. Parks, 0. D. White and W. McDaniel. The capital stock is $20,00, twenty yer cent of which is payable on September the 1st. The bank of the weet-side is well officered and has a strong board. We wish for it a very suc cessful career. Letter From Mr. B. B.Hare. A few days ago The Advertiser received a very interesting letter from Mr. B. B. Hare, who for two months bas been in Lawrence, Mass., studying labor couditious among mill operatives as a rep resentative of the natioual gov ernment. This Yankee city has a population of 76,000, of which only 19,000 are natives. The re maining 57,000 are foreigners of about 15 nationalities. We think many of the ?southern cotton mills are very large but when compared with some in the north they appear very small. Con cerning one of the? large mills iii Lawreuce, Mr. Hare writes as follows : ?I am at present making some investigations in the Pacific mills, oue of the largest and best advertised mills in the United States. They manufacture both cotton and worsted ; employ be tween 5,000 aad 6.000 operatives. The buiidiugs cover a floor space of 66 acres. Nearly all of the goods manufactured in the cotton department are printed dress goods, calicos, draperies, satr.ene, etc." FARMERS' RALLY. .South Carolina Slate Farmers' Union, Office of Secret.'.ry-Treasurer.

YOUTH respectfully, J. Whitier Reid, Sec.-lVap. S. C. Stato Farmers' Union. Death ofjMrs. Lanier. Mrs. Martha Lanier died at the home of har daughter, Mrs. Henry Hammond, on Tuesday, June 23rd. The interment look place at the Lanier cemetery in lower Meriwether. Her husband was killed in the Civil war. Mrs. La nier was a devout Christian, a member of Hardy's church. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Henry Hammond, and two 6on?, Mr. William Lamer, of Norib Au gusta, and Rev. Mr. Lanier of Washington, Ga, The Students' Conference. Mr. John C. Sheppard, Jr., President of the South Caroli na University Y. M. C. A. Writes Interestingly cf the Conference at Montreat. Tho "Southern Students' Con ference" is an annual gathering at some place iu the mountains of North Carolina of representatives of the young men's Christian as sociations of the different south ern colleges. This year the con ference was held at Montreat, sixteau miles west of Asheville. The purpose of this conference is to prepare men for Christian service in their respective insti tutions. They aro expected to re ceive training which will fit them for leadeiship. Whether this aim is met depends upon 'he willing ness and receptiveness- of the in dividual, If it i? true ihnt beautiful natural pcenery elevates tb- mind and softens the manners, then surely one is benefit tod by a stay in the mountains of North Caro lina. Montreat is located on a small stream called the Swauanon, which ripples and flows aa only mountain streams can. There are many beautiful falls, c?scale? and leaps of water, where lives the mountain trout and where all is cool,fte5h and beautiful. Moun tains often remind us of God, the creditor uf the beauty beheld. The mountains around us are covered willi pines and bard-wcod. View ed from ?far the outline is smooth, and even, hut ou nearer approach it is seen to be rough and broken Some one noted that it is as when we view life. ;i seems smooth and tranquil, ?.ut is in fact beneath the surface,broken bv disappoint ments and rough with failure On one occasion we saw a sight which cannot, be forgotten. There were two great ppaks towering upward si le by side, and between them Rhone the moon in beauty; thre? bright stars could be seen iu ijpite of the enveloping lunar light. One was here prompted to exclaim "Near tn God iu the eternal moun tains." But the beauty of nalure was not all, there was there also the "beauty of boliuess." There were classes in the study of "City Problems," "Leisoual Evange lism" aud the "Student Volunteer Movement." Bible and mission stud}' were greatly stressed. The . .avon j.i.ixr..w.?L4_ixLvAEL_??a -?<2Pt/?ati.e\r.? and swimming. Many amused and tired themsehes in mountain climbing, but it was the univer sal verdict that thia was pretty poor sport, but good exercise. The mountain climbing was beset with the possibility of meeting a rat tler, which is not a case of "glad to meet you." College yells every where resounded. The boys from Tennessee ou one occasion were yelling for "Carmack," but when lusty Carolinians yelled "Till man," ail was still and quiet eave the running and rippling of tba Swananoa. A valuable asset of the confer ence was the opportunity -afford ed of having personal interviews with men of ability? The confer ence leaders were very glad to discuss with any one the prob lems of his experience. But it is results that'interest j us. What good was done? There were 342 men present, represent ing 10 states aud 7G colleges. Fifty-two men declared for for eigu fiolds. and forty-five signified their intention to enter the min istry. But these are stated results. There might have been blessings of which the recipients are ignor ant. The conference deepened the prayer life of many. It taught others tho reality, d^ptb a id breadth of pereoual influence, and inculcated a realization of per sonal responsibility. It showed the value aud necessity of daily Bible 6tudy, aud that it is al source of power. It encouraged, in that it proved that there are thou sands of young men in the 60utb | feeliug for, reaching out after higher, better and nobler things. It stressed the friendship of God I aud said that there was euch a thing as a genius for friendship arnon? men. Surely these aro worthy results m-iking the conference its own ex cuso for being. The rae? here were of kindred minds, and the fellow ship was like to that above. J. C. S. Tornado Insurance, Dwelling0 20 ce.its $100 00. E. J. Norris. Appeal From President Parks.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO. Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes ;hrough the kidneys once every three ninutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When health ly they remove about 500 grains of im jure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left n the blood. This brings on many dis eases and systoms-pain in the back, ieadache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir regular heart, debility, drowsinesss, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. Walter Dorn, Cedar Row, Edgefield, S. C., says: "I used Doan's kidney plls and consider them a fine remedy for any trouble arising from the kid neys. I was a victim of kidney com plaint for a considerable length of time and my back often pained me so severely that I could hardly do my work. My kidneys acted too freely and the Secretions were unnatural in ap pearance. Upon learning of Doan's kidney pills,' I went to Penn & Hol stein's drug store and bought a box. Since using them I have been free from pain in my back and also from the kidney weakness." VFor sale by all dealers. Price 50cts.
