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."

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?,

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.

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."
