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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Why James Lee Got Well.
Every bo ly in Zanesville, 0.,|

baud, James Loe, firmly believes

Kiug's New Discovery. His lungs
were so severely affected that con
pumption seemed inevitable, when
a friend recommended New Dis
covery. We tried it, aud its use
has restored him to perfect
health." Dr. King's New Discov

A GOOD ASREON.
Edgefield People an Tell Yet
Why it is so.
$ Doan's kidney pills? cures ' the cause

are always lasting;;" This remedy
strengthens -and toner up the kidneys,
helping;;them to drive; ?ut of the body
the liquid poisons that^'cause backache,
headache and distressing kinney and
urinary complaints. Edgefield people
testify to permanent cures.
C B Gray, Main St., Edgefield, S. C.,
says: "I am very willing that my
name should be used in recommenda
tion of Doan's kidney pills for the rea
son that I know them to be a valuable
remedy. For some years I was bother
ed by backache which became qnite se
'vere at times. There was also a dis
order of the kidneys which caused me
additional pain. A few weeks ago I
learnad about Doan's kidney pills and
concluding to give them a trial went to
Penn &- Holstein's drug store and
bought a box. A short time after I
began using'them I felt much batter
and I am continuing to take them
