^FULLER.
Three cheers for Hon. John E.
Swearingen, State Superintend
ent of Education! Edgefield is
proud pf him.
It hai been announced that
Kern will tour the South. Edge
field, will give him a large audi
ence if he will come this way.
It is very probable that the
records do not show a closer con
test: for state office thau that be
tween Caughinan and Cansler for
railroad commissioner. Out of a
iota} vote of 110,021 Caughman's
majority was only 553.
That twenty-nine-million-dollar
fine imposed upon the Standard
Oil -Company is yet in the courts,
and is likely to be there for some
years to-coma. When it ns paid
. the consumers will doubtless bo
apprised of it by an advance in
the- price of oil.
If the resolution and determi
nation of the newly elected sheriff
of Anderson to enforce law are in
keeping with his size, there will
b$ but little lawlessness in that
county He weighs 425 pouuds and
is said to be the largest man in
the southern states.^
Railroad Commissioner Caugh
man had a hair'** breadth escape
from defeat. Hie 'Edgefield blood
is the only thing that saved him.
Wbeneverthere are political con
tests anywhere . in the state in
which Edgefield men are involved,
you can bet your boots that Edge
field will win. Look at Nichoi
s?n?B victory in Greenwood, and
Peurifoy's in the 9th circuit. Bay
Humphreys of Union became in
oculated while a student here at
the South Carolina Co-Education
al Institute.
. It is exceedingly gratifying to
those who have an abiding mter
egtiin the welfare of the old Ship
of State to note that there has
bean a general raising of the
standard among those who are. to
assemble in Columbia in January
to make the laws under which we
shall live. The counties in which
the standard has not been raised
are exceptions, and not the rule.
$iohlant
the s?
other counties and names could |
likewise be mentioned.
Will Make-Good.
The Advertiser does not doubt
for a moment that Hon. John E.
Swearingen will make good at the
head of the educational depart
ment of South Carolina, and
there are 61,287 other persons in
the state, of the same opinion.
The loss of sight will only handi
cap him in performing with his
own hands the , clerical work of
the office, and this, in fact, is al
ways done by clerks instead of by
the State Superintendent of Edu
cation himself.
Through, nat aral endowments
of heart and . mind, through
training at college and through
experience of-nine years in the
school room, Mr. Swearingen is
eminently fitted to plan and di
rect* the educational system of
the state, fhe Hon. John J. Mc
Mahan, a prominent attorney of
Columbia, who formerly filled the
office of State Superintendent of
Education for four years with very
distinguished ability, published
an-article in the daily papers just
i prior to the election in the inter
eat of Mr. Swearingen's candida
cy. After writing of Mr. Swearin
gen's ' phenomenal achievements
while a student at 'fhe South Caro
lina college, Mr. McMahan had
the following to say in the closing
paragraph of the article:
"It cannot therefore, be feared
that Mr. Swearingen's blindness
will prevent his measuring up to
the fullest requirements of the
office of State- Superintendent of
Education. This is an office, not
of mechanical routine, not of
physical inspection cf details of
work, (as is largely th? office of
superintendent of a school or even
ol a county.) If redu ed to this,
it is a farce. It should be an office
of inspiration aud leadership
through moral and intellectual
power, rare personality. As com
pared with such a force, always
needed to blazon the outlines of
progress, eyesight is of insignifi
cant value. Eye-J are common aud
cheap. Cut off from much that
ers away thought and life,
ihn E. Swearingen will revolve
> his mind ideals of educational
emansbip and will gui le with
ability the ? constructive
rk which peculiarly belongs to
t office."
If the white-voters of South
Carolina cast over 110,000 ballots
in the primary, that number, or
mors,should be cast in the general
election in November.
It is difficult for Georgia to tell
where she is at politically. The
Democrats, Republicans, Prohibi
tionists, Populists, and the In
dependence party are all at work
iu our sister state.
Edgefield's daughter, Saluda,
j polls more votes than the old
! mother county. Saluda's vote iu
the last primary is placed at
2,052, which is 300 more than
Edgefield's vote in the first pri
mar^. <
After all expenses of the cam
paign- were paid, Oraugeburg's
Democratic executive committee
contributed $100 from the.amouut
left in the treasury to the. Bryan
aud Kern fund. We do uot know
what balance Edgefield's execu
tive committee had left after pay
ing a'.l expenses of the campaign,
but it would have been a very
graceful act could they have made
a contribution to the national
fund as did Orangeburg.

Edgefield Agricultural Club Or
ganized Under Favorable
Auspices.
In response to the call of Gen.
M. C. Butler twenty-five or thirty
farmers and business men met in
the court house ou. Saturday for
the purpose of organizing an
agricultural club. Gen. Butler
was, on motion of B. E. Nich
olson, elected temporary chairman
and Mr^ L. Wigfall Chealham
secretary. Gen. Butler decliuedto
accept the presidency of the club,
aud Mr. James R. Camelon was
elected president, Mr. Cheatham
being permanent secretary.
Dr. WV E. Mealing, seer? tary
and treasurer of the associated
farmers clubs of the Savanuah
valley, waB present by invitation,
and was called upon to give an
outliue of the work of the Schultz
Hill club and theother clubs that
compose the association. He spoke
of the benefit derived from the
experiments that had beeu made
by the members and uf the ad van
tages; derived from the social
feature. At the regular .mouthly
meetings topics of vital interest
to the farmers are discussed from
a practical standpoint. Dr. Meal
ing also referred to the friendly
rivalry that existed among the
clubs, arising from the exhibits
at the Georgia-Carolina Fair. Ile
urged the newly formed Edgefield
club to compete for the grand
prize of $100 in cash to be award
ed to the club having the best ex
hibit of agricultural products at
the Georgia-Carolina fair to be
held during the week beginning
November 2nd. The Georgia-Caro
lina Fair association will douate
$100 toward defraying the expen
ses of the exhibit.
The club exhibits at the fair
last year - were exceedingly credi
table; especially that of the Meri
wether club which won fi.rst prize
jfeLL. ggjl JiP-RQA80D why-^be far
i ni ty couild not;]
ejy "cwnbiPe' their
rm products, and make
an**exhibit that would compare
favorably with those of the other
clubs.
Practically all who attended the
meeting enrolled their nam eis as
members of the club; and a com
mittee of three will be appointed
by President Cantelou to solicit
members. A large, prosperous
agricultural club, conducted along
the lines of those of the Sa
vannah Valley association, will
be of incalculable benefit to the
farmers of this yioinity. Give
your uame to the secretary, Mr
L. W. Cheatham, and assist in
making the club a success.
By a unanimous vote the thanks
of the club were extended to Dr
Mealing for his presence and very
helpful and encouragiug remarks
The next meeting of the club will
be held the 2nd Saturday in Octo
ber.
The editor of The Advertiser]
was very glad to meet Maj. J.H.
Aiton at Mountain Creek last Fri-!
day while attending the Edgefield
Baptist association, eighteen years
haying passed since last we saw

The Edgefield j Baptist Associa
tion.
TQ9 one-hundred and first ses
sion of the Edgefield Baptist As
sociation was held at Mountain
Creek church on Thursday and

pleasure to attend on Friday.
The officers that have served
so faithfully in the past, 0. Shep
pard, moderator; Rey. J. T. Lit
tlejohn, clerk, and Mr. L. F. Dorn,
treasurer, were ie-elected.
All of the churches have in
creased in membership aud the
reports that were made to Asso
ciation were exceediugly en
couraging. Dr. CE Burts made
the report on Foreigu missions
aud followed it. with a atirriug
address. Mr. Sheppard theu read
a very interesting letter from Rev.
John Lake, the missionary on the
foreigu field who is supported by

report cn Home Missions, which
was followed by appropriate ad
dresses by Col. F UK Bailey and
Rev. Mr. Heckle.
Under the subject of education
the representatives of the educa
tional institutions presented their
elaims. Rev. OL Striugfield made
an appeal for more loyal tupport
of the Greenville Female College
and Dr. Fletcher presented the
claims of Fivrinau university. Col
Bailey represented our institution,
the S CCI.
The report on Woman's work
was made by Mr. L F Dorn, who
fellowed the report with a short
address that made an excellent
impression.
The report on Tempera ?ce was
made by Mr. J L Mirna for the
committee, and by request an ad
dress upon this subject was de
livered by Dr. C E Burts io hie
torceful and effective manner.

declared to be the most pleasant
and most "profitably session of

delegates aud vigors weie
lavishly entertained by the good
people of Mountain Greek. Some
who attended .sugg' sted toat
Mountain Creek be in&de the per
manent meeting place for tho as
sociation.
The association will meet next
year with Antioch on Wednesday
and Thursday beiore the second
Sunday iu September.
Interesting Letter Received by
Mrs. Robert H. Minas From
Rev. John Lake.
My 'dear Aunt:
Letten? from you
and Uncle and a host bf friends,
expressing sympathy for me in
my great sorrow, have remained
unanswered, not because I did not
appreciate them-they went to my'
heart of hearts, all bf them, and
helped me-but I have been sick.
Four weeke ago to-day I took my
bed, though I bad been sick tor a
good while then, ever tiuce dear
Pearl was taken from me. In fact
I* bad had several attucks ol the
stomach and bevel trouble we so
much dread in tbese tropical sum
mers, the disease that cost her
her life. And i.ow I amberein
the hospital where she passed
away-iu sight of the bouse (or
I he wreck ot it) where we Uad
planued to spend a part of thu
summer resting-aud uearer still
-to the cemetery where she lies
sleeping.
For live weeks after ber death
I was in the same house aud uu
der the care of Dr. Hayes of our
Mission, or Dr. Swan, the bead of
tho tospital-at Canton, except for
a few days at the compound at
Cauton. While there I wrote a
letter to Mr Sheppard for the
Edgefield Baptist Aer,ocialion at
Mountain Creek in reply to the
message sent me by the last as
sociation meeting. 11 bought whej
I wrote that I should. ba\e been
well now, but a relapse made it
necessary for me to be brought to
the hospital.
I am dressed and sitting up to
day for the first time and expect
to be well -enough to return to
Canton and begin work again
next week or the week after. It
has been a dreary time here, in
the place hallowed by such tender
but sad memories, but God and
she have seemed with me always,
and I have felt too that tbe
prayers of all wno had written to
me aud of many more have been
sustaining me. I feel closer to God'
than ever before. I have no notiou
of giving up the work of course,
and I believe I shall be upheld
till God calls me to higher service
in heaven-there certainly is no
nigher service on earth than this
work of teaching the heathen to
love God.
Last Monday night the worst
typhoon that has been known out
here tore part of the roof off the
hospital building, throwing some
of the debris through the floor of
the second story and onto my bed
and in my face as I lay sick in the
men's ward on the first floor. It
did other damage to this splendid
new building and wrecked many
houses and sunk many boats in
and "near Hong Kong, causing the
death of many hundreds if not
thousands. A similar one here
two years ago is supposed to have
killed two thousand people. This
time we had telegraphic warning,
which saved thousands of lives.
In the former one I was ou a
river boat, about a hundred miles
from here aud had to remain on
the boat for twenty-four hours be
fore the boat would dare to go on.
The boat itself was injured some
what. Episcopal Bishop Hoare, as
you may remember,_was also on a
missionary journey near Houg
Kong at the time and his boat was
capsized and his body never re
covered. So you see what kind of
storms wo have out here.
A few miles from Hong Kong,
which, as you know, is an island
in the Pacific, is another islaud
called Cheuug Chow. On that
several missionaries are resting
during the hottest weather.- Some
of their homes were wrecked
Monday night, including the one
in which dear Pearl aud I had
planued to be at tbis time and
in which I would have been but
that I had to come to ihe hospi
tal. Dr. and Mrs. Hayes escaped
with their lives. I gueRS the bed
room furniture and all of my
summer clothing that I left there
are ruined. I haven't beard.
Well, in this land of tropical
diseases, typhoons, boxers, rebel
lions, Asiatic cholera, . bubouic
plague-and what not-I feel safe
and happy in God's work.
Pleaeu let this litter bo for all
the friends in Edgefield and
Edgefield county, iu so far as you
can communicate with them. I
am taking a risk to write so mucb,
aud bore comes the doctor. Love
to all.
Affectionate ly,
JOHN

Statement From Mr, E. . S. John
ston.
Mr. Editor: Please allow epace
in y?ur paper thia w^k for me to
irjatlre statement relative to state
ment m ade by Mr. W. VV Adams
calliug iuto question my veracity.
I made aliidavit in regard to
i.be weighing ot 25 bales of cotton
?old by J fl Roel to W VV Adams
in the spring of 1905, in which I
stated that 1 had settled, as 1
thought, /'the loss in weight on
this lot of cotton satisfactorily
with Mr. W W Adams. This affi
davit waa posted at Edgefield
about 1 o'clock on September Stb,
190?. Under my affidavit Mr. W
VV Adams wrote the following:
"if Johnson collected any money
from Keel" ho did so without au
thority from me, and has not paid
me one cent." This raises the
question of veracity between Mr.
Adams aud myself. The question
ie, who told the truth? Did I not
tell it? Is Mr. Adams tbe only
man who can tell the truth? Why
did I have to get authority from
him to collect money from Reel.
Tf I had paid over money to
Adams, which be bad numerous
timrg demanded of me on account
of the lot of cotton, 25 b<tles, sold
to him by Reel, wljy did I bave to
set authority from him to collect
this money from R el? ^He save
rbat I have not paid bim one
cent. I will give to the-public
verbatim his receipt sign-id by
him and written out entirely in
his handwriting aud then h.t. the
public judge, and I will also stttte
that Mr. J 'Ii -Reel paid over to
me this amonut of money, after
I had paid it lo Adams. Here is
Adams receipt to me which I eau
ph >w when the proper time corud3.
"Received of E S. Johu.?G4K4-and
3-100 dol?ate for the ka A of 53
pounds of cotton as above." This
rece;pt is--written under affidavit
of. weigher at Orangeville Manu
facturing Com piny, giving the
humber of one of the bales of cot
ton sold by J H Reel to VV VY
Adams. My good name iswrrth

Card From Mr. Reel.
To the people t-f, Edgefield
County: I take this occasion to
extend thanks to you for your
kindness and courtesy to me dur
ing th* campaign just:closed and
express to my friends my.- high
appreciation of their efforts in
my behalf a3 a candidate'dn the
recent primary. My oppouont
treated me fairly in our cauvass
aud I do not say oue word against
him, but I wish to say here that
falbe and malicious reports were
circulated agaiust,me just before
the last primary and they caused
my defeat.
My purpose and aim in life
from youth up have been to deal
fairly and justly with everybody,
and any .rumor or report to the
contrary is utf.erly without foun
dation.
If the people of Edgefield coun
ty will scrutinize my life I mu6t
think that as a fair and just peo
ple they will be couvinced that
the result of tho second primary
for the office of supervisor was
due to the most improper and un
fair methods' adopted against nu.

Kidney trouble preys upon thc mind, dis

or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevale.*.!
%LJ~*Hf HI that it is not uncommon
rayLlx,for a chiid t0 bs bcrn
'Mp? afflicted with weal; kid

ir-*^ ates too often, if the
urine scalds ihe flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it .should be ebie lo
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting-, depend upon' it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This . unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition cf the
kidneys and bladder and net to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as v/ell as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
