the county before the second pri
mary.
Letls compare Ansel's cote in
Greenville couuty with BleaseV
vote in Newberry, and see what
the homefolks think of the two
men. That is the best way for the
outside world to judge them.
That Seneca young man who'
kissed his girl twenty times in
sixty 6ecouds should be aneeted
for violating the speed limit.
Seneca Farm aud Factory.
Wonder how many Edgefield
young men have been "violating
the speed limit?"
The saloons have been closed in
Springfield, 111., since the race
riot bejaD, and the mayor of the
city says he does not know when
he will allow chem to open. Why
were they closed? Because the
sale of whiskey would increase the
acts of violence and^ render it
more difficult for the authorities
to control the situation. If a
thorough invf stigation were made
tue fact would no doubt be reveal
ed that whiskey was the real
cause of the trouble. It is gener
ally conceded that whiskey caus
ed the Atlanta riot._

While the chain gang system of
wbrking the public roads has beeo
very costly to the county, possi
bly more expensive than necessa
ry, yet there is no denying the
fact that the loads wherever thor
oughly worked in the past have
been wonderfully and permanent
ly improved under this system.
The writer drove from Edgefield
to Pted Oak Grove church on Sun
day last, a distance of about
eighteen miles, and if all of the
ba,d places in the road wer?
placed side by side the entire
length would scarcely be a hun
dred yards. We have learned from
others that what is true of the
stretch of road above referred to is
also true of many of the other
leading roads in the county.
Therefore, the expense cf keeping
the highways of tho county in
fairly good condition should be
less in the,future than it has been
during the years that are past.
Capital to be Increased.
In accordance with the
published notice, the stockholders
of the Edgefield Manufacturing
Company met on Saturday last in
the office of the company, and
passed a resolution authorizing
the diiectors to issue preferred
s^ock to the amount of $150,000,
which is to be used in enlarging
the capacity of the mill by doub
ling the number of spindles and
otherwise improving the plant.
Mr. D. A. Tompkins, the build
. er and president of the mill, came
down from Charlotte Saturday
morning, accompanied by Mr.
George L. Krueger, a stockholder
and director in the company.
A director's meeting, which was
attended by Mr. D A Tompkins.
Mr. Cha rle?, H Finher. Mr. Geo.
L Krueger and A S Tompkins,
Esq., was alpo held and a resolu
tion adopted authorizing the
officers of the company to pro
ceed to issue the preferred stock
and about $30,000 of additional
common stock. The vote of the
stockholders on tlie lesolution? to
increase the capital stock ot the
company was practically unani
mous, as all of the stf<ck was rep
resented except a few scattering
shares that are held by f-statet?
and boards nf Fchool truiteep.
Mr. D. A. Tompkins and Mr.
Krueger return-" d to Charlotte
Saturdav evening. Steps will bo
taken at once to make the uec
p?sary enlargement aud to start
the mill to running. They are
now placing a. ?argo new 250

aud i. lirely new
building ltb one ac
cord, after ^ i matter du"
consideration, . joembers of the
"Grove" church, as it in common
ly called, decided upon the latter
course.
On February 24th, J907, the
first step toward the erection of a
i.ew house of worship tiegan by
ihe appointment of a building
committee, which consisted of n
dozeo or mera aotivn mein bi re of
the church. Soon afterwards. thcj
o'd church, one of the oldest land
marks in the county that con
nected the long ago with the pres
ent, was torn down and work on
the new building wag begun and
pressed to completion as rapidly
as cucum stances would warran*
In passing along the public
road, iustead of the old church
do;ru near the cemetery, one now
sees a new and modem structure
OD the eminence near the rood.
The location and the design ol
the building are in many respects
ideal. Thu structure is of wood,
and its exterior and the interior
arrangement resemble very much
the Edgefield Baptist church. The
seats are circular in their arrange
ment and are elevated as they re
cede from the pulpit. The Bap
tistry is in the rear of the ros
trum, and two small dressing
rooms, o*ie on each side, have
beeu built. The exterior of tb'
building bas been painted white,
naiDiing is compTeted. Very aoon
all of the painting will be com
pleted, including the staining ol
the floor and pews. There are four
large, beautiful stained glass Win
dows in the main room or audito
rium, one on each side. These
windows were designed and made
by Mr. Giles D. Minis, and wert
donated to the church by bim.
Sunday,'^August 23rd, was the
day set apart for the dedica
tion of the new church. A very
large crowd, many traveling from
great distances, gathered early,
and a song and prayer service was
held before the hour for the ser
mon arrived. Ur. VV. T. Derrieux
was invited sonn time ago to
preach tba dedicatory sermon,
but sickness prevented bis bemg
present and Re^. L B. White,
pastor of the Baptist churches of
Modoc,. Parksville and Plum
Branch, preached the sermon from
theSth verie of the 26th Psalm:
"Lord I have loved the habitation
of thy bouse and the place where
thine honor dweileth." Although
be bad had but one day's notice
that ho was expected to preach
the dedicatory sermon, and in
spite of the further handicap that
he bas been in protracted meet
ings for three weeks, Rev. Mr.
White preached a very strong and
exceedingly appropriate sermon,
Due that elicited favorable com
ment on every hand. Immediate
ly after the sermon the dedicatory
prayer was offered by Rev. Ar
thur L. Vaughn, of Piedmont, S.
n
ur.
At the conclusion of the song
service of the morning, Rev. Geo.
W. Bu8sey, tho pastor of the
murcb made a brief statement
concerning the building of the
.ieAT church. The work was in
marge of a special committee
composed of Messrs. T M Dorn, P
3 Bueeey and G D Mime, Mr. E
i Morgan, Sr., roting as treaeur
ir. Up to this time the building
las cost $1,400. The committee
las collected about $900 and has
;300 in good subscriptions, leav
ng a debt ot $200 unprovided
or. Rev. Mr. Bussey stat 3d that
he church very earnestly desired
o raise this balance before the

dedicatory service began. To thi:
end, he called for voluntary sub
scriptions. The responds wen
?;onera! and the auhecriptions
quite liberal, Mr. T M Dorn head
ing the iiet with $25. Be it said t<
the credit of the candidates pres
eut that a number of then
voluntarily contributed generous
ly. The total amount raised w?f
$156. As there were some merri
bers ot' the ch ur'-, ii absent whj
will contribute the balance, it c:
really said than thu enlirl
amount du?; by the church i? pro j
vichd fur.
In speaking of ibo beautiful
Christ-like fpirit that han -xii-:
ed among the brethren siiic* th(
work was undertaken, Mr. Buss*)
?aid: "I never attempted any vvorl
that gave rae more pleasure." ll
made special mention of \h
e'VortF of Mr. E. G. Morgan, Sr.
and of Mr. ? D Mira?, statiuj
that the former bad - ?aid bim
snlr upon the altar ns a living
subscription." From the outset
Mr. Minis took wry great inter
est in the erection of tho new
church. Beeide3 subscribing very
liberally, he designed the new
building and superintended
the work without accepting a cent
of compensation. Furthermore as
stated above, he made and dona
ted the lanie stained glass win
dows. Mr. liu.'Bey stated that what
Mr. Mimp did deserved speoia
mention, especially as>**.-criovc
a member of Ked
church. "ssey united
?.Ww ^ W.^BJ" church in
1865 and was ordained as a min
ister of the gospel by that church
in 1S7?.I. For tweoty-seveu con
secutive years thereafter he served
as its pastor. He resides now in
Pelzer, S. C., but is again serving
as pastor of hi? old church and
has had much to du with build
ing the handsome new house of
svorsbip.
Rev. Arthur L. Vaughn, of
Piedmont, S. C., preached a very
striking sermon in the atteruoou,
and ie assisting Ta'v. Mr. Busbey
iu the protracted meeting that is
being held iu the new church this
week. Though yet in his twenties,
Mr. Vaughn is a preacher of groat
forc?, and will, as ho advances in
yours, occupy a plac? of great
promiuence ami usefulness in the
work.'of the denomination in .South
Carolina.
At the diunerhou'r a royal feast
that had been bountifully provi-j
ded for the great throng was
spread upon a Jarge rectangular
table, and everybody was invited
to partake. Everything that the
most fastidious peraou could de
sire was thore, prepared i n the
most elegaut manner and in very
great abundance.
