The Southern railroad ought to
retire Capt. "Billy" Smith on full
pay. For fifty consecutive yeara
he has served iu the capacity of
conductor, running the major por

now wears ten service stripes,
each representing five years of
employment in good standing as
a conductor.
The Georgia legislators, not un
like the South Carolina solons,
sometimes pass vtry foolish, as
well as unjust, measures. The
general assembly of our Eister
state recently passed an act au
thorizing policemen aud firemeu
to ride free on stree:, cars. It is
just as reasonable to require the
dry goorls merchant or the grocer
to furnish policemen and firemen
with free dry good9 and groceries
as it is to ask street railway com
panies to give them free traus
portation. x
On Saturday last, about the
hottest day of th9 year, the sales
of the North Augusta dispensary
amounted to $1,000. A very large
portion of this sum was spent by
working men who could ill afford
it and whose families doubtless
needed their daily earnings. In
making money through the sale
of liquor, Aikeu county is de
priving^ irsny a"'destitute heme
of some of the actual necessities,
to say nothing of. comforts aud
luxuries. Shame upon Aiken !
Legal and Illegal Sale of Liquor.
Some Low or other the errone
ous impression prevails in the
minds of some persons that the
unlawful handling of whiskey
only exists in dry counties. Why,
bless'your life, a big, full growu
liquor still wa3 seized in Aiken
county last week while iu. opera
tion. Some folks claim that the
legal sale of liquor will "put
down" the illegal sale. If that be
true, how ?6 it that a distillery
was found in Aiken? You eau bet
your last dollar tbat those who
operated this illicit distillery did
not j;ive their "coru juice" awa)T
to their neighbors and friends.
|Pbe only difference between
Aiken and Edgefield is this: Ai
ken has her dispensaries and
some hliud tigers, and Edgefield
has no dispensaries aud some
blind tigers. Edgefield ha3 elimi
nated the greater evil enti-ely and
is reducing the lesaer as public
sentiment against it increases.
Fathers aud mothers of Edgp

.rather rear your sons? It is easy
to supply the answer.

lu bi3 argument against the
''special box" resolution before
the county Democratic executive
committee ou Saturday Hou. J.
William Tburmoud took a etrou
and mauly slaud for prohibition
in our. town and couuty. Ha Btated
that he was au ard?ut advocate of
tho dispensary and believes now
that it accomplished much good
in cloding up the barrooms
throughout tho ?tate, but since
prohibition has been tried -every
oae i? compelled to admit that
conditions have improved tre
mendously. Mr. Thurmond stated
that iu his judgment not one
twenty-fifth as much whiskey is
sold nowa? was sold before pro
hibition went iuto effect.
Hw stated further that a farmer
who resides soma twelve miles
abovo Edgefield recently told him
of the very maiked improvement
in the conditions upon his farm
siuce the legal sale of liquor was
abolished. Whereas formerly when
his tenants came to Edgefield aud
purchased a supply of liquor from
the dispensary be could scarcely
manage them, while now they
give bim no troubie.
Rescinded "Special Box" Order*
It will bo recalled that at a re
cent meeiiig of the county Demo
cratic executive committee a
resolution was adopted by a vote
of 5 to 2 providing for the placing
of a special box at the polls in
which the voters could cast their
ballots upen "local option" or
"prohibition." Making thia an
issue so late in the campaign ivas
deemed very unwise by many,
consequently the resolution met
with considerable opposition. Sev
eral members of the committee
and quite a number of citizens
urg^d Couuty Chairman B. E^
Nicholson to caU a mating to re
consider the matter. He, however,
was unwilling to call a m-^tins
without fin^t having a faller ex
pression from ihn comm ?tee;
ther'iiore, he addresspd a letter to
each member in order to g*t an
expression from them. Thirteen
of the nineteen members of the
committee replied, and of this
number ten favored calling the
meeting to re-considpr the reso
lut iou.
Incompliance with the call of
Mr. Nicholson, a meeting was
held ou Saturday, taere being six
teen members of the committee
present. After considerable dis
cussion both for and against the
resolution, a motiou to rescind it
was adopted by a voto of 10 to 5.
Map of Edgefield County.
While in conversation with
Prof. Jeromo H. Courtney sever
al days ago, be informed us that
he ?B contemplating making a
map of Edgefield county. TKere is
now no complete map of the coun
ty in existence except the old,
out-of-daie Boles map which was
made in 1871. Since that date.
Aiken, Saluda aud Greenwood
counties have been formed, which
not only reduced the area but
very , materially changed the
boundary lines of the old county.
There is great ueed for a map of
Edgefield county as it exists to
day, giving the townships, public
roads, principal streams, location
of churches, priucipal school
house, couutry residences, towns,
railroads, etc. Tbis is a ;igautic
undertaking, but we know of no
one who-is better qualified for the
work than Prof. Courtney. Ko re
ceived his technical {?trainiug at
the Citadel and has bad much
actual experience iu surveying.
In fact, he assisted Mr. W. H.
Nicholson in making a survey of
the entire boundary line of tbe
county several years ago, and bas
the field notes of this survey now
in his possession, which would
very materially aid him in the
contemplated undertaking. We
trust that Prof. Courtney will
meet with* sufficient encourage
ment to cause him to begin work
at once.
W. C. T. U. Membership Con
test. -
. The W. C. T. U. of Edgefield
has just bogun a membership
contest which will last until Sep
tember 22nd. Tho contest is be
tween the two halves of the local
organization, about twenty on
each side, one half wearing blue
ribbons, the others wearing red
ribbons. Each body is trying to
win members for the side she
represents, pinning on her colors
as the new member is secured.
At the next meeting Septem
ber 22ud, the leaders ot each side,
Mrs. W. L. Dunovant and Mrs.
Manly Timmons, will report the
number of new members ou their
respective sides. The losing side
wil! be called upon to entertain
the new members and the win
ning side. Tbo coniest will be
vigorously carried on. - Tho ohjeel
of this contest is to present to
every Christian woman in Edge
field tbe opportunity to join this
greateef organization of women
in the world, and help to make
sentiment agniust the evils of
intemperance. We hope that in
b.'ss than a mouth's time every
Christian woman in Edg'field
will be adorned with a blue or
red ribbou.

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
Stale of South Carolina,
County of Edgef.cid.
To 1??K Honor J W De Vare, Presid
ing Judge of the August term of
Court, 1908.
Wc, the Grand Jury of Edgeficld
County, beg leave to submit the fol
lowing report:
Report of Committee on Poor House
and County Farm.
We find fourteen inmates now in the
County Home, nine ox this number arc
white, five are colored. The inmates
are cared for as well as present condi
tions will permit. Mr. Scurry, the
Steward, informed the committee that
all of thc inmates were weil fed and
caved for in a material, way, and it was
brought to our attention that while the
poor and helpless of our County were
being supplied with thc physical neces
sities for this life, the little Chapel for
conducting religious services was sel
dom used. We most respectfully ap
peal to thc Christian people of this
county not to neglect this important
duty.
Wc furthermore call the attention cf
the Court to the condition of the dwell
ing bouses on the County farm. The
Steward's home and four of the homes
for the inmates are in a very bad con
dition. We urge upan the Court the
necessity -of providing comfortable
homes for the Steward and thc in
mates. Unless this is attended to be
fore winter, we recommend that thc
inmates be removed to some place in
the county where they can be protect
ed from thc cold.
We find the barns, stables end cow
sheds in good condition. There aro on
the County farm three mules, one
horse, five milch cows, four yearlings,
and thirty hogs, all in good condition.
About as near as your committee
could estimate, there are about one
hundred and fifty bushels of corn, plen
ty of fodder and hay to feed on until
the present crop is harvested is har
vested. The present crop is in good
condition. The Steward says that he
made last year about eight hundred
bushels of corn, three bales of cotton,
two hundred bushels of sweet potatoes,
twenty-five bushels of peas, killed
about three thousand lbs. pork. We
suggest that ia the future ino Comity
direct thc Steward of che Poor House
to malee a report in writing to thc
Grand Jury, and ict it be embodied in
the reports of thc Poor House Commit
tee to the Court. This has not been
the custom, :..id we did not require- it
of the present Steward, but your Com
mittee cannot make an intelligent re
port unless in tho future thc Stew? 1
be required, as other public officers,
to file, in writing, his report, or keep
book:-;, or sorns kind of record accessi
ble Tor the information o? the Grand
fury.
We find as nearly as we can estim: te
it 150,000 feet of lumber Belonging to
tho County, exposed to the weather, ?
and with no protection against fire,
stacned in the woods near the County
Home. We urge that some disposition
be made of this lumber before it is a
total loss to the County.
