EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER | Established 1835. J. L. BUMS .... EDITOR TERMS: ONE '/EAR 5150 SIX MONTHS .75 WEDNESDAY, NOV. 25, 1908. it ? Whoever pays you more y a court than he is accustomed to ? fl pay, either intends to deceive I I you or finds you necessary 13 ? Atlanta is already making ugly faces at Augusta because President elect Taft is to spend the winter in the latter-city instead of within her <> borders. i , i -- ? -- I .Wireless telegraph stations are J soon to be established in Augusta ) and Columbia. Edgefield is in the in \ tervening atmosphere and, there ' fore, may/be said to be on thc new ! "line" of communication. ' . The editor of The Advertiser has learned with profound regret that Mr. J. T. Bigham, editor and pro prietor of the Chester, Lantern has < sold his paper and will ret-re from \ the field of journalism. The exalted ( character of Mr. Bigham as a man ' has always been reflected in his . paper, thus making it a real bless ing to every home it entered. Blind tigers are scared out of their boots in Spartanburg. A white man of considerable prominence was convicted last Friday on three counts for the unlawful selling of liquor and was sentenced by Judge Klugh to pay a fine of Si,500 or serve eighteen months in the peni tentiary or on the chaingang. It is encouraging to see that the circuit judges are-opening their eyes to the fact that light fines and short terms of imprisonment do not deter the tigers. A sentence or two imposed in every county like the Spartan burg sentence will drive the unlaw ful sellers of liquor into other lines of business. . Hon. W. R. Parks, president of the County' Union and State Ex ecutive Committeeman from the second Congressional district, an nounces in this issue thatxa mass " meeting will be held in the court 'house Friday, December the 4th, under the auspices of the Farmers lunion. President Harris, a practi cal and successful farmer, will be present and address the meeting. \V?e trust that he will be greeted by a very large number of farmers and business men of other callings. The Farmers Union is a splendid or ganization and The Advertiser very earnestly hopes to see it grow and prosper throughout our county and state. Establish Fertilizer Plant For two years commercial fertili zers, like everything except cotton, have gradually advanced in price. . No doubt there has been reasonable and just ground for this advance, as the material of which fertilizers are made has advanced. But we rather apprehend that the consolidation or combination 6* large fertilizer manufacturers which is being plan ned will cause still further advance in price. Now, it is for the farmer to decide whether he will continue to use large quantities of commer cial fertilizers at the prevailing high price, with a possible advance, or will he make manure on the farm and reduce his fertilizer bill. The Advertiser is not antag onistic to the fertilizer manufactur ers, nor do we oppose a i.beral ap plication of commercial fertilizer, especially when judiciously used, but we believe that the farmer who has cows, horses, mules, and woods from which to obtain straw, is un necessarily burdened with large guano debts. He is in a position to set in operation a fertilizer plant of his own. Supply your lot, cow and horse stables well with straw, and by that means establish a fertilizer plant of your own. Then, early next year supplement your home-made manure with commercial fertilizer. And next fall you will find your land im proved, your yield increased and your fertilizer bill decreased. Try it fust one year. Mass Meering Called. Pursuant to the call a meeting of the Edgefield Agricultural Club was held in the court house Saturday afternoon, the president Mr. James R. Cantelou, presiding. On account of the small attendance the regular topic was not discussed. Several short talks were naade upon the ques tion of organizing a County Fair Association. Upon motion of Mr. S^McG.^ Simkins, a resolution was adopted calling a mass meeting of the citizens of the county for the 1st Monday in December, in the court honse imni'vliately after the public sales are held. A committee consisting of Mr. 8. McG. Simkins, Mr. J. M. Mays and Mr. Betti s Can telou was appointed to invite several speakers to address the mass meeting in December. After retiring for a conference the committee reported that they |had unanimously agreed to invite Hon. John G. Mobley, of Winnsboro, president of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechan ical society Congressman J. (). Pat terson, and Congressman A. F. Le ver. Mr. Cantelou, the president of the club, was ?called upon to give an ac count of the several fairs that he has visited this fall. During his remarks Mr. Cantelou stated that, while he saw some fine stock, Mr. J. M. Mays can raise fiji cr colts than any he saw, and that Mr. S. E. Mor gan has a colt that would have won first prize had it been placed on ex hibition. Mr. Cantelou also said Mr. Julian R. Strother eau grow fin er turnips than any exhibited at the Georgia Carolina fair. All of this proves beyond doubt-that our peo ple can come together and have a first chiss fair of their own next fall. Talk up the mass meeting called for Monday, December 7th, so as to make the attendance large and to create enthusiastic interest among thc people in the proposed county fair movement. Kind Words That are Highly Appreciated. In a very interesting letter to th? News and Courier on Monday, the Edgefield correspondent, Mr. S. McG. Simkins, made the following very kind reference to The Adver tiser: "Although the Edgefield Adverti ser is the oldest county- newspaper in the state, its present owner and editor, who is strong and talented, is among the youngest newspaper men in South Carolina. The Adver tiser in its old age is becoming, and very interestingly and intelligently so, quite reminiscent, in hist week's issue it reproduced the graphic story of the great conflagration that visi ted our town in the '80*s. In tin's week's issue it gives a running his tory of "The Edgefield Female Col lege," that had its existence and was in operation during the early 'so's. The Rev. John R. Gwaltney was-its president and professor of ancient and modern languages; Col. James T. Bacon, professor of music; Mr. R. H. Mims, professor of draw ing and painting. All of these gen tlemen are alive. Of Editor Bacon the whole state is fully informed, his past and present writing placing him constantly before the people. Mr. Mims, who is now the oldest citizen of Edgefield,- still works at the profession of which he was a teacher, while thc venerable Dr. Gwaltney is at Rome, Ga., connect- J ed with the Female College of that city. A catalog of the institution is published and contains many dis tinguished names." One night as a Canadian doctor who lives in eastern Ontario Ava? driving into a village he saw a chap, a little the worse for liquor, amusing a crowd of spectators with the an tics of his trick dog. The doctor watched him awhile and said: "San dy, how do yon manage to train your dog. I can't teach mine any thing." Sandy, with the simple look in his eyes, said, Well, you see, Doc; you have to know mor'n the dog or you can't learn him nothing."-Ex. BLOOD We live by cur blood, and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high we are being re freshed-bone, muscle and brain, in body and mind-with continual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest ana sleep is not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutriment in it. - Back of the blood is food, to keep the blood rich.

Prohibition Convention. Instead of writing to each minis ter of the different denominations in South Carolina a personal letter, please allow me through your paper to give them notice concerning our Prohibition Convention soon to be held in Columbia. First of all, we want the ministers of every christ ian church in the State to be pres ent, and help us make this the great est meeting of the kind ever held in South Carolina. Brethren get a feAV good men in your community together, and arrange, not only to come yourself, but bring others with you to represent the county in which you live. Several noted speakers will be on hand, and a public mass meeting will be held Thursday evening beginning at 7:30 o' clock in the Hall of the House of Representatives, December the 3rd. We hope fora full attendance :it this meeting. We will meet again in the same Hall Friday morning Dcc cember the 4th, at nine o'clock to attend to the important business coming before the body. Let every nmn interested in the cause ol* State-wide Prohibition think about it, talk about it, pray abont it, and see to it, that several good men are sent to this convention as delegates from the County in which he resides.
