J Beware of the campaign liar. Cotton is popping open and soon the cash will jingle. Good crops have been "laid by" and the goose hangs high in Edge field county. Senator Tillman- is u )w "doing" Paris. The Advertiser would like to receive a description of tue new sheath gown from h im. Let us< hope that tha cotton mille have closed down in order to take a "mouing start" on the new orop With the Democratic forceB of eveTy section of tho country work ing in perfect accord, the outlook ie indeed encouraging. It's mighty hot to be preparing speeches of acceptance. Are you not glad that you are not a Presi dential nominee? Who's going to be elected to the House? The home-stretch has been reached and all of the five candidates seem to bo neck-and neck. The Advertiser is bettio'ou the election of three "Williams" this year: William J. Bryan, William F. Roath aud William B. Cog burn^ With twenty candidates in the field for legislative honors, Spar tan bu r^ county either has a great number of worthy, ambitious men or via over-stocked with "drift wood." The great number of deaths re sulting from automobile acci dents is appalling. It seems that an auto first takes the bank ac count and then the life of its owner. The "night riders" are still riding rough shod over the gov ernor and everything else in sight in Kentucky. A few military com panies like the Edgefield Rifles are needed in the Blue Grass state. If a)l who are killed and mound ed in automobile disasters carry accident insurance, the compa nies issuing the policies will soon P.^-9JlLalLpJ?keir.8urplus. ^ From, nearly every stump in South Carolina comes the cry of "Economy." If all the reforms and retrenchments that are promised are put into practice, > the tax burden will be exceeding ly light for the next two years. The existence of societies for the prevention of cruelty to ani mals throughout the state has ac 'complished great good. In Green-) ville last week nine warrauts were issued for negroes who were cruel to beasts of burden. The organiza tion, although its existence has J been to a great extent only nomi nal, has not been without good results in Edgefield. Wears Ermine With Honor. Judge James W. DeVore pre sides with the dignity, ease and grace of a veteran of the "bench." In the dispatch of business, in ^expounding the law and in his charges to tho jury during this his first official appearance in Edgefield, Judge - DeVore has clearly shown that he is destined to take high rank s moog the ju diciary of the state. That he has made a very favorable impression upon the bar and those having business before the court, is evi denced by the numerous compli mentary remarks that are heard. Senatorial Election of 1902. As the date for the primary ap proaches, interest increases in the senatorial race. In order for our readers to |iee how the vote was divided in the senatorial contest six yea?-s ago, we publish the fig ures of 1902, which are as follows: A. C. Latimer 22,971 J. G. Evans 17,893 D. 8. Henderson 13.771 Wm. Elliott 13,658 Geo. Johnstone 13,556 J. J. Hem phill 13,261 95,110 The result of the second prima ry is shown by the following fig ures: A. C. Latimer 53,890 J. G. EvanB 30,371 90,261 There are practically the same number of candidates this year, and it ie not probable that any one of them will poll more votes than Mr. Latimer did in the first primary of six years ago. * Agricultural Club Need ad* Elsewhere iu this issue of The Advertisar, Gen. M. C. Butler re quests ali persons who are inter ested in agriculture, horticulture, dairying and stock raising to meet in the court house on the second Saturday in September for the purpose of -organizing themselves into tbd Edgefield agricultural club. Iii our opinion, this is one of the most important matters that has been called to the atten tion of the people of this vicinity iu mauy a day. It is unquestion ably true thfct every citizen, par ticularly the farmers, who allies himself with this organization will be greatly benefitted. We trust that Gen. Butler's call will meet with a geueral and very hearty responso. The Adver tiser stands ready to give all pos sible assistance toward making the undertaking a success. Northern Italians Desirable. A?kmigrati?ii ie a live ier;ue and is being discussed to some ex tent io this county, it will be of interest to see what Senator Till man says incidentally upon the immigration question. In a re oeut letter which has b9en pub lished in the daily papers, Sena tor Tillman in writing of the Italiaus has the followirg to say: ''HaVing myself been very pro nounced in expressing the idea that Italians were undesirable,, immigrants for South Carolina, a sense of justice compels me to say that having watched the people of Italy .with that very questiou in view I still feel that the people of Naples and those of Southern Italy whom I saw at Salerum and Pestum -.:e not the type we would like to have. From Rome north ward the impression made on me is btitirply iavorabJe and I feel sure that if we could get auy of the Northern Italians into the Southern States they would make good citizens and help ?D every way tu- assist the white race in solving the race problem." Williamson Corn a Success, Many New Homes and Bet ter Lights for Trenton. Fine rains have fallen in parts of this neighborhood and crops are "looking up," but in certain sections there is a deficiency iu rainfall and consequently we see., crops "burning" badly. There is a general approval of the Williamson plan of corn cul ture. We hear nothing but words of praise for it on every side. There are those, however, wbo do not follow Mr. Williamson's di rections and failing they "cuss" Williamson for their own short comings. Mr. William Leppard has re cently moved in his new cottage on Ebenezer street. Mr. Jas. Mil ler's r?sidence will soon be com pleted. This will make the second handsome country residence erected this year. Mrs. Leila Roper is having built in town an up-to date cottage. These new buildings are all the work of j contractor!

Three Connie Maxwell Orphan age Girls Win Winthrop Scholarships, Greenwood, Aug. 9 -It"would be difficult to give a picture of the excitement that reigned for a while at Connie Maxwell orphan age when a paper carno Wednes day giving a list of the young ladies who had won scholarships in Winthrop college for the- com ing year. Three of the young ladies from the orphanage stood examinations for these scholarships in July and they were all successful. Miss j Ida E Robertson, who graduated from Connie Maxwell orphanage a year ago, and has since that time been stenographer and book keeper at th? orphanage, stood the examination in Spartanburg, her native county. Miss Jennie Np.il wont to Greenville and Miss Pauline White to Edgefield, where they stood examinations. It is a remarkable attestation to the thoroughness of the school work of this fine institution that these young ladies should have done so splendidly and that they should have won their prizes over such formidable competitors a* they met in these various counties. When tho news came the. bells rang and the children shouted and everybody felt good. The young ladies are receiving con gratulations cn every hand and they surely merit all thu good wishes tbat are being expressed for them. (The (foregoing achievements of the young ladies from the Connie Maxwell orphanage serve to show bow thoroughly the children of the institution are taught, and should encourage thole wbo have contributed to i's support to be even more loyal in the future. All honor to Superintendent Jamieon and his faithful co-workers ! Edi tor Advertiser.) NOTICE. It has been suggested that we have a meeting in the|court bouse at BO.i;s convenient time in the futur* for all persons i ute rested in agriculture, horticultor*, dairy ing,and stock raising, for the pur pose of orgauiziug au "Edgefield Agriculture* Cub." How would the second Saturday in Septem ber suit for such a meeting? In the absence of a suggestion for any Mher day I will take the liberty of asking a meetiug^ou that .day. In all communities wbere th?Fe societies have been established, great good has re sulted from thpm. ? We ought to hive one here at Edgefield to take in all the farmers of (be surround ing couutry. Apart from the in struction to be derived from eacb other, the social featuie would render the club very attractive. Let's meet on the second Satur day in Soptember at ll a. m. in the court house and organize an agricultural club. No politics. M. C. Butler. Dr. D. A. J. Bell Replies to an Editorial in The Edgefield News. Editor Edgefield Advertiser: (I have sent the following open letter to The Edgefield News) : I notice that you say in last issue of The News: "Will some kind friend explain to certain men in and around Park?ville, that a 'conference' of 'be.st citi zens' to put out a legislative pro hibition or Auti-Saloon League ?ticket is no better than a 'caucus' of -'undesirable citizens' assem bled for the same purpose? We would lik*- to explain iurther, that there is no difference between the two. They are one and the name. People bad as wei! face t.ha music and not. quibble. Nor should fhev try to put the blame on oibei-9. The 'best citizens' of a community will not do such a thing. If no one pise will explain thp m it tur, Tho News can do PO." I confeps that Ido not under stand this editorial from your immaculate pen, nor have I seen any one who doe?; but if you mean to nay that th^re has b*?'en a "caucus" or "conference" of thc citizens of Parke^'illn, or PISP wbere an to that matter, I believe it to be absolutely false. We have a candidate for the legislature, on prohibition ticket, from Parksville, who has tho character, the manhood, thp back bone, to say so. Aud if there has been a "caucus" or "conference" anywhere, it is not within my knowledge. Now, if The News be lieves in liquor or blind tigers, let it have the manhood to say so, and I demand that The News "put up" or "ehut up." You say "we must not quibble," nor do I intend to. If liquor is a good thing, or you thiuk so, for your community, have tho man hood to eay so, but do not try, by insinuation or iuuendo, to be smirch those who see evil m it. You say you cao explain and you must do so, proving youl charges .^ke any other fair, brave, south ern gentlemen, or else stand as a self-convicted slanderer. Respectfully; D. A. J. Bell. *GotsrtrProo?<>?lir*go.- '-< The Court' of General Seesions opened on Monday morn jug with the Hon. J W DeVore as presid ing judge.
