Thursday. ..'
The suggestion has been made
that the Harmony picnic bn held
every year, justas the great raili
.- tary picnics of the county. _Tbis
is a good suggestion. Why not
adopt it?
It is reported that there are
cliques, combinations, slates and
gooduess knows what else, among
the prohibitionists. If auy such
thing or things, by whatsoever
name called, exist, the writer has
no knowledge of it.
Stocksand bonds commanded
a higher price ou the New York
market last week than they bad
sold for at any time since last
fall. Let us hope that this means
a return to normal financial con
ditions. The farmers of the south
do not want to hear auy more of
the panic after uew cotton is
placed on the market.
Since a colored man in George
town found a one-cent piece
Si?hile working in his gard? n that
is worth- $290, every man in
Georgetown is said to rise early
and "hoe in bia garden before
.-breakfast. Would that so valua
ble a coin could be found in an
. Edgeiield garden.
The Advertiser is pleased to see.j
that the Farmers' Union is work
ing along the right liue in pro
viding cotton goods instead of
jute bagging to cover their bales
of cotton. In this way they will
increase the demand right at
home for their own product. It is
reported that the officers of the
Farmers' Union of Mississippi
have contracted for 14,000,000
yards of cottou bagging which is
enough to cover 2,000,000 bales.
If farmers over the entire cotion
belt would use cotton bagging,
they could thus consume hun
dreds of thousands of bales of
their own product instead of send
ing the money abroad for jute.
Death of Dr. W. {JH. Timmer
man, One of Edgefield
County's most Distin
guished Sons.
Within a few short days after
he visiteo1 friends and relatives in
our town and county, the shock
ing intelligence was received here
that Dr. W. H. Timmerman was
lying cold in death at his home
in Batesburg, having succumbed
to an attack of pneumonia. The
vin ter ino ut was held on Thursday
*ning at the Timmerman bury
ground in the Philippi sec
>r. Timmerman was a son of
' ifield, and one whom her peb
delighted to honor. He was
. n May 29th, 1832, aud was
teated in tbe common schools

. at Greenwood, lb the
1854 he graduated from
* College of Charleston
;n the active prac
ne for more than
mg
several years as moderator of the
Edgt-finMi association.
lu the life of. thia distinguished
eon of Edgefield county, if there
were any one thing that stood out
noora prominently, more boldly,
than another, it was bis seuse of
h*??>r and unimpeachable integri
ty of character. There were tho?
who differed with him in private
and public lifo, whose views did
not co-incide with bis upon the
questions at issue, but no one
ever questioned bis motiveg or bis
honesty cf purpose. ? Indeed, we
make.bold to assert that no mab
iu South Carolina ever filled ap
many positions of honor, and
trust as Dr. Tim merman and iu
the end possessed- a reputation
more-untarnished or a character
more unsullied ibau he.
Dr. Timmermau is survived by
a wife, four .sous and four daugh

"P. R. W." Reports Good Crops
Around Johnston, William
son Corn a Success.
Dear Advertiser:
We spent part
of last week in the pretty little
city of Johuslon and surrouudiug
country, feasting our eyes on th*
beautiful crops of cotton and
corn that are to bp 6?PU ?u all
sides. We almost fear to tell bow
-pretty these long straight rows of
corn and cotton are, forbear some
of our hilly land fi.rmpfs may be
com? dissatisfied with their rocky
stiff lands and short curving row?,
but Iben,as we return to tbes? bille
and valleys, we 6ee many advan
tagos, which tbe saudy land far
mers do not bave.
We visited many fine farm?
and lovely hoiries on this trip, but
when- w? reached, the home of
Mr. \V. T. Walton we stopped
short and for awhile looked with
mingled admiration and wonder
on his fine fields of cotton,and
corn, and asked ourselves tlip
qupstiou ''bow c.m it b^?*' and
answered tbe question thus:-Wal
ton is not afraid to teed hip land,
knowing that in return it will
yield bini au abundant harvest
We called at his hom?, and found
bim too busy threshing his large
crop of grain to entertain us, hu'
wo wert* delighifully entertairi'ri
by Mrs. Walton mid her i;ier
Miss Dorn, and feasted on pea
os. and watermelons. Let us say
right here that we have always
been rather skeptical about the
Williamson plan of raisiug corn,
but cn this occasion our skepticism
vanished, as it was demonstrated
in the same Said, the Williamson
plan would yield double HIP
amount of the old plau.
We visited lhe borne of Mr. P.
C. Stevens, and was disappointed
in Dot finding "littje Pierce" ~r
Mrs. Stevens at hom*, but we were
welcomed by their daughter Miss
Sarah, and very cordially invited
to dine with her aud tbe chil
dren, which we did, and was de
lighted with the charming manner
in which she acted tho hostess.
Why do not we all train our chil
dren in the; art of entertaining
visitors in tjbe home and thereby
save a lot ^r'-^mbarrassment to
both. We spent a pleasant after
noon with Mr. W. P. Johnson and
family, who know?juut how to
mp.ke one enjoy every moment
spent with them. Mr. Johnson's
crop is fine and every thing de
notes peace and prosperity. Wo
visited many other homes and
saw many flue farms in this God
favored [community. Space will
not admit of going into details.
The grand climax to the week's
travels was the good citizens'
meeting and picnic held at Har
Imony on Friday, but I shrink
from the task of describing this
great cccasiou, knowing that abler
pens than mine will give an ac
couut of this great meeting. I-will
say that I never listened to better
speeches, saw a more bouniiful
dinner or witnessed a more order
ly crowd. At the close of the
speaking, we were constrained to
say that we had made one loug
grand stride in the cause of tem
perance and good citizenship.

Good Pellew i
The picnic at Harmony on Fri-|
day las', Beld in the interest of
temperance and good citizenship,]
was a great day. a red letter day,
in tb* history ..of Edgefield coun
ty. When upwards of two thou
sand people, some of them jour
neying fifteen aud twenty mil?s,
come together on a .hot Ju 15' day
for so laudable a purpose and for
the furtherance of so worthy an
undertaking it ' augurs well for
the future of our county, and the
state, too, in eo far as tue people
of this county shape and control
the 'affairs - of State. Time was,
and not in the very distant past,
either, when such a. meeting in
the interest of such a cause would
have attracted only a fey/ hun
dred. But thank Heaven the day
j bas corni; in Edgefield county, and
in many parts of South Caro?Da,
when the mssses of the citizen
ship are as dueply interested in
moral questions "that affect di
rectly the happiness and welfare
of their homes and firesides aa
they are iu the greut political is
sues of the day.
The attendance was very large;
almost surpassing the expecta
tions of those who were' back ol
the en'erpriso. 'J'hpre was scarcely
a community in the comity, how
ever remoto from Harmony, that
was not represented, and as for:
Johnston, Philippi, Trenton, Har-|
runny and Edgefield, from these
communities the people responded
to the invitation almost en maese.
Si'mf, before g"?ing, mexpressed j
the I o.)? thal the meeting would
break up in a row and oibers said
tney v^ere sining to Harmony to
get eome prohibition liquor, but
the few who went with such, ex
-lectalinns and unworthy motive?
ne nwav sorely disappointed,
i he order and deportment; were
simply ideal. Jf a word wa? utter
ed or an act committed ??lat?n
any way marred -the pleasure of
the dav, it did- not roach the wri
ter's ears. Not a drop of whi-lrey
was in evidence. Some who were
present whose wont it is to im
bibe where great crowds assemble
were as "sober as a judge" on this
occasion. Where or when in the
past did any one. ever see in thin
county the some" degree nf s*hn"?
ty and good order at an}' public
gathering of li ko. proportions? In
stead of disorder existing, a spirit
of cordial, good fellowship st jed
to permeate the very atmosp. re.
The tone and spirit of the meet
ing wore beautiful in the extreme.
The band which was composed
of s ix of the best musicians in
Au^tista added greatly to the
pleasure of the day. It was on the
ground earl}', making merry mu
sic to greet the ears of tne people
as they arrived. During the in
tervals between the addresses, aa
well as during tbe dinner hour,
popular airs and patriotic music
were played.
Rev. B. J. Guess, pastor of t'je
Methodist church at Johuc-loh,
was master of ceremonies The
exercices were opened with pray
er by Rev. T. P. Burgess. The
chairman then requested Orlan
do Sheppard, Esq., to present the
first speaker. In words peculiarly
befitting the opeu?ng exercises of
such an occasion, Mr. Sheppard
introduced Hon. C. C. Feather
stone, of Laurens. Some who were
present bad beard Mr. Feather
stone nu former occasions, but it
was generally conceded that he
never appeared to belter advan
tage in his life than on this oc
casion. A reproduction of the ad
dresses of the day, or even com
meut at length, in our limited
spac? being impossible, we shall
uly mention a few p-unts advan
ed by tLe distinguished speakers.
Mr. Featherstone said that some
?.ars ago people used to look up
nirn prohibition as a theon*-, and
non its advocates ^as cranks and
unties. Not so now. Many pro
bitioc?8ts of to-day are among
ie ablest men in the country,
id in the prohibition ranks
.ervwi.?re will be found practi
il and very successful bueiuess
en who bring things to pass.
The spanker stated that there
:e three reasons why meu ad
jcate the sale of whiskey, to wit:
or the raonoy there is in it; for
ie whiskey itself or through ig
orance. The profit feature, said
e. is thft lowest possible plane
pou which to base a whiskey ar
? meut. No trueman will sacri
ce cbaract r for money. Then is
?arcely a family anywhere that
as not directly or indirectly felt
be blighting curse of whiskey,
'hose who do not drink are often
.ailed upon lo suffer with those
ho di? drink. The men who have
jrmed tho habitare passing away
-I the rate of 103,000 each year.
xIeep the temptation from the
*oys so that a genera'ion ol'
troup, sober young men may be
'Aeared lo take the phie^ < f th'"
ld men who must soon disappear
rom the scene of action.
?i Mr. F<) it herston" said prohi
bitionists do not claim ihn' th ?

In forced. It will be violated as
ither laws are, but it. is utirethirr
ible to expect or de nand that the
aw prohibiting tbe-sale of liquor

)ther laws. The Great Lawgiver,
?mid the speaker, knew when he
promulgated the law from Jii:ai
?hat it would be violated. Ju^t
the commandments of tho d-c -
logr.e ?re being broken, :>-> are ?rv
3?vit laws being filansgrcssed.
? jause they are occasionally viola
ted, however, is no reason why

these laws should be repealed.
Mr. Featherstone said be rejoiced
to see tbf; genuine interest that ip
manifested in good citizenship
and the upbuilding of character.
A. S. Tompkins, Esq , an ac
quaintance and personal friend of
the next, g peaker, in a. verygrace
ful manner introduced Hon.
Heriot Clarkson, of Charlotte, N.
C. Mr. Clarkson haftsspent thirty
years in our sister state but was
"formerly a south Carolinian, and
said that he always felt that he
was coming among his own people
when he turned, his fuce to South
Carolina. This gentleman ,is au
able and very distinguished law
yer of Charlotte, having beeu for
several years the solicitor of the
Mecklenburg circuit. His official
position ha* giv^n him the oppor
tunity of gening what a large per
cent of crime is caused by whis
key. Furthermore, being a resi
dent of Charlotte, where prohibi
tion has been in ef?Vc.t fjr four
years, Mr. Clarkson could relate
from his own experience and. ob
servation the advantages of p-o
hibition. Concerning Conditions
in his own city, the speaker had
this following to say :
"On July 5, 1904, th* Quftpn
City of No-tti C irolinn, Chiulott?,
hy a vote of 4S5 threw tho yoke
of this liqudr power off. This was
the first large city in t he South in

"Twenty-five vear3 ago Gaston
county that adjoins my county,
hud about. 48 distilleries and sa
loons in every town and to-day
she has no saloons and no distil
leries, and 50 cotton mills in op
eration and about 10 in construc
tion, and in the recent >e (Wt iou
went about 1,400 majority l^r
prohibition.
"After four yearn' trial, Char
lotte voted nearly 1,000 > r State
prohibition and the county and
city gave 1,900."
At the conclusion cf Mr. Clark
son's admirable address, the table
was made ready and the multi
tude, consisting ot hundreds of
hungry men, women and chil
dren, was invited to partake of
the feast. During the morning, ap
the crowd steadily grew, tine com
mittee in charge of the dinner be
came a little uneasy lest some of
the people would have to go away
hungry. Eut after the barbecued
dinner and the contents of hun
dreds of large baskets had bp*?n
spread upo? tbe table, making al
togetber such an enormous quan
tity of good things, all fear was
at once dissipated. After eveiv
body had finished dinner and had
voluntarily retired from the large
rectangular table thpre were more
meals and sweet meats left thau
is carried to a picnic of the aver
age size. Certainly, if an individ
ual lacked for dinner at H ar ra ti
ny it was his or her fault, and not
the fault of any one else. Barrels
upon barrels of ice water were pro
vided for tho thirsty throng,
?which with the dinner was as free
as the Harmony air.
Dr. J. \V. Daniel, who wa3 in
troduced iu a moat appropri?t'

E. Nicholson, waa HIP lint speak
er in the afternoon. Dr. Daniel 13
not only a very strong man in
tellectually but is au exceedingly
i polished and effective spanker.

happy and much-to-be coveted
j faculty of injecting much refined

Dr. Danial's admirable-a-ldrers
was chu Hy upon the ?ubjf?ct o'

The conclusion of Dr. Daniel's
address brought the regular pro
Igr^iu t>? a close, but numerous
[voices in tho audience called for
Dr. 0. S. Kurt", who came for

in forcelul manner delivered

Dr. Burts 8"iz-d this opportunity
to explain tn? term "local option"
which bas. confused and con
founded the minds of some re
cently.
,The, sneaker that local op
[tioiyu itself is all right but that
lhere are two separate and dis
liuct.classes of local optiooists.
There are those who advocate
local option as a iue?u9 bf retain
ing or re-establishing the legal
eale of liquor; on the other hand,
there are others who advocate
local option as a means of secur
ing prohibition. Both classes are
local opi.ionists but holli are
striving for opposite ends. It was
through local option that Georgia
Ptep by step went dry, aud it has
been through local option that
the prohibitionists in. Teuu^ssee
have gained the major portion of
that state.
" Dr. Burts stated that almost
e\mry church in existence bas ap
a body or church taken a firm
stand against the sale of intoxi
cants. The Roman Catholic church
has more coD.muuieauts who art
pledged against this wori(i-\vide
evil than any other church.
Hon.. Seaborn Wright, who is a
member of the Geueral Assembly
of Georgia, was prevented, from
being pr?tent on account of press
ing legislative duties.
frrt meeting was a triumphant
HUcceiiV, and all who ..contributed
their tim?, efforts and tnoueV to
this worthy -enterprise feel amply
repaid. '
