It is not whatxa man says, but what he is, that counts. Bear this in mind in scratching your ticket. Wonder how the Republicans will explain the ''empty dinner pail" aud the 300,000 idle freight cafs? Vote for men of unquestioned character. After ali, only men of character can be trusted in publio life. The home of Abraham Lincoln, the "Great Emancipator," is any thing but a city of refuge for colored people. The "big four" m the senatorial race are Rhett, Smith, Evans and Johnstone. The all-absorbing qr.e8tion now is, whi.cn two will lead ?2 the first primary? \ General Thomas W. Canvile was unanimously and enthusias tically re-olected commander of the South Carolina Division bf the Confederate Veteran?. The uext re-union will be held iu Chester. When* ver race riots occur in the north, negroes are much mere cruelly treated tbau in the 6outb. As a result of iuhumiim treat ment, negroes are sy-crificiug their property and an; leaving Spring field, 111., by the hundreds. Have you registered yat? If not, have your name recorded at once. The supeivifiors of registration have issued about 1,650 certifi cates aud rbere are yet probably three hundred who have uot reg: istered. The recent jrace riot in Spring field, 111., aud the persecution of the negroes which followed, show that, all statements to the con trary notwithstanding, tho best friends of the colored people re side south of the Mason and Dix on line. The Southern railroad ought to retire Capt. "BUly" Smith on full pay. For fifty consecutive years he has ser ved in the capacity of conductor, running the mag or porr tion of tbe time between Colum bia and Greenville. Capt.. Smith now wears ten service stripes, each representing five years of employment in good standing as a conductor. The Georgia legislators, not lin like the South Carolina solons, sometimes pass very foolish, as well as unjust, measures. The general assembly of our sister state recently passed an act au thorizing policemen and firemen to ride free on street cafs. It is just as reasonable to require the dry goods merchant or the grocer to furnish policemen and firemen with free dry goods and groceries as it is to &ek street railway com panies to give them free trans portation. 1 On Saturday last, about the hottest day of the 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, Aiken county is de priving*; rrsny a"'destitute home of some of the actual necessities, to say nothing of. comforts and luxuries. Shame upon Aiken ! Legal and Illegal Sale of Liquor. Some how or other the errone ous impression prevails in the minds of some parsons that the unlawful handling of whiskey only exists in dry counties. Why, bless'your life, a big, full grown liquor"still was seized in Aiken county last week while in. opera tion. Some folks claim that the legal sale of liquor will "put down" the illegal sale. If that be true, how is it that a distillery was found in Aiken? You can bet your last dollar that those who operated this illicit distillery did uot jgive their "corn juice'' away to their neighbors and friends. The only difference between Aiken and Edgefield is this: Ai ken has her dispensaries and some blind tigers, and Edgefield has no dispensaries and some blind tigers. Edgefield ha3 elimi nated the greater evil entirely and is reducing the lesser as public, sentiment sgaiust it increases. Fathers and mothers of Edge field, in- which county would yru jather rear your sous? It is easy to supply the auswer. St r/eng, Manly Defense. lu hi3 nrgumeut against the "special box" resolution before tue county Democratic executive committee ou Saturday Hou. J. William Tburmoud took a strong and mauly staud for prohibition in our,town and county. He stated that he was au ardent advcoate of tho dispensary and believes now that it accomplished much good in cloding up the barrooms throughout tho state, but siuce prohibition has been tried-every one is compelled to admit that conditions have improved tre mendously. Mr. Thurmond stated that iu his judgment not one tweuty-fif'.h as much whiekey is sold nowas was sold before pro hibition went into effect. He stated further that a farmer who resides soma twelve miles above Edgefield recently told him of the very marked improvement in the conditions upon bi8 farm siuce the legal sale of liquor was abolished. Whereas formerly wherj his tenants came to Edgefield aud purchased a supply of liquor from the dispeusary be could scarcely manage them, while now they give him no trouble. Rescinded "Special Box" Order* Jt will bo recalled that at a re cent meeiing of the county Demo cratic executive committee a resolution waa 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 rras deemed very unwise by many, consequently the resolution met with considerable opposition. Sev eral members of the committee and quite a number of citizens urged Couuty Chairman B. Ev Nicholson to call a meeting to re consider the matter. He, howevu1, wa." unwilling to call a matins withoutfifRt having a fuller ex pression fron? the corumitee; theijfore, be addressed a letter to each member io order to getan expression from them. Thirtepn of the niuateen members of the committee replied, and of this number ten favored calling the meeting to re-considpr the reso lutiou. Incompliance with the call of Mr. Nicholson, a meeting was held ou Saturday, there being six teen members of the committee present. After cousiderable dis cussion both for and against the resolution, a motiou to rescind it was adopted by a vote of 10 to 5. Map of Edgefield County. While in conversation with Prof. Jerome H. -Courtney sever al days ago, he informed us "that he is contemplating making a map, of Edgefield county. There is now no complete map of the coun ty in existence except the old, out-^f-da^e Bol?s map which was made in '1871. Since that date, Aiken, Saluda and Greenwood counties have been formed, which not only reduced the area but very y materially changed the boundary lines of the old counly. There is great need for a map of Edgefield county as it exists to day, giving the townships, public loads, principal streams, location of eburch?s, principal school house, couutry residences, towns, railroads, etc. This is a gigautic undertaking, but we know of no one who-is better qualified for the work than Prof. Courtney. Ko re ceived his technical ??training at the Citadel and has bad much actual experience in surveying. In fact, he assisted Mr. W. H. Nicholson in making a survey of the entire boundary liue of the county several years ago, aud 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* sufficieut 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 boguu a membership contest which will last until Sep tember 22nd. The contest is be tween the two halveei of the local organization, about tweuty on each side, one half wearing blue ribbons, the others wearing red ribbons. Each body is trying to win memuers for the side she represente, pinning on her colors as the new member ?B secured. At the next meeting Septem ber 22ud, the leaders of each side, Mrs. W. L. Duuovant and Mrs. Manly Timmons, will report the number of new members ou their respective sides. The losing side will be called upon to entertain the new members and the win niug side. Tbo coolest will be vigorously carried on. * The object of this contest is to present to every Christiau woman iu Edge field the opportunity to join ?hie greatest* organization of women in the world, and help to make sentiment against the evil? of intemperance. We hope that in lese than e mouth's time every Christian womau in Edgifield will b'? adorned with a blue or red ribbon. Cheaper Water.

To Iii* Honor J W DeVore, Presid ing Judge of the August terni of Court, 1908. We, the Grand Jury of Edgefield 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 of 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 the inmates were well 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 the physical neces sities for this life, the little Chapel for conducting religious services was sel dom used. We most respectfully ap peal to the Christian people of this county not to neglect this important duty. We furthermore call the attention of the Court to the condition of the dwell ing houses 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 upon the Court the necessity -of providing comfortable homes for the Steward and the in mates. Unless this is attended to be fore winter, we recommend that the j inmates be removed to some place in the county where they can be protect ed from the cold. We find the barns, stables 2nd cow sheds in good condition. There are 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 com, plen ty of fodder and hay to feed on until the present crop is harvested is har vested. The present croji.is in good condit ion. The Steward says that he made last year about eight hundred bushels of corn, three bales of cotton, j two hundred bushels of sweet potatoes, twenty-five bushels of peas, killed about three thousand lbs. pork. We suggest that in the future the County direct thc Steward of the Poor House ! to make a report in writing to thc i Grand Jury, and "let it be embodied in ! the reports of the Poor House Cornmil ? tee to the Court. This has not been : the cistern, and we did not require- it i of the present Steward, but your Ccrr. j mittec" cannot make an intelligent re ; port unless in thc future the Steward i bo required, as other public officers, : to file, in writing, his report, or keep i books, or some kind of record accessi ! bl? for tho information of the Grand j fury. j We find as nearly as we can estimate j it 150,000 feet of lumber belonging to j th.? County, exposed to the weather, aiid with no protection against fire, j stacned in the woods near the County j Home. We urge that some disposition j be made of this lumber before it is a ! total loss to the County. W. H. MORGAN, E. B. DASHER, F. PERCY BYRD, Committee of Poor House and County Farm.
