The income tax law has been de-j
flared constitutional. But that is.
one law that does not trouble news
paper men.
The Darlington county man who j
was married the sixth time the oth
er day should open a correspond
ence school. Some of Edgefield's]
bachelors should get in communi
' cation with him at once.
The death penalty of six Ten
nessee "night riders" and life im
prisonment of two others will put ;
quietus on the flagrant lawless
ness that has prevailed in that state
during the past year.
In addition to money, dispatches j
state that the whiskey forces in
Nashville are using ''beautiful fall
en women" to prevent the passage
of a statewide prohibition law.
Heavens, to what depths liquor can
drag men and women!
The Edgefield County Fair next
fall will be what the people make
it Therefore, let every citizen re
solve to take an active interest in
the enterprise and assist in making
it the best county fair in the state.
Dixie is a land of almost per
petual summer. This winter has
been so mild that last year's cotton
stalka are blooming near Augusta;
. snake stories come from Anderson;
grasshoppers are hopping in Geor
gia and mosquitoes are biting in|
Fdgefield.
The legislatures of Tennessee and j
Texas are both grappling with the
liquor question, and " South Caroli
na will soon line up with them. It
is stated that the i law-makers of
Tennessee will pass a state-wide
prohibition measure over the veto
of the governor.
Good Order Due to Prohibition.
Prohibition is always put to a se
vere testvduring the- Christmas sea
son. Owing to the prevalence of an
erroneous impression to the effect
that greater license and latitude are
allowed at this season, it has been
the wont of many in the past to grati
fy their appetites and give themselves
over to all manners of debauchery.
Be it said to the lasting credit of
the people of our country", the Christ
mas just past was a striking excep
tion to the festive seasons of the
years gone by nuder the old whiskey
regime. Reports have reached ns
fr?m different parts of the county
to the effect that almost perfect or
der prevailed during the recent^holi
days.
While in conversation with Mr.
J^F. Payne on Saturday, tie. writer
was pleased to learn of the greatly
improved conditions in the Meeting
Street section. Mr. Payne said, the
Meeking Street camp, W.. O. .Wi'
gave two oyster suppers-one just
preceding Christmas and the other
daring the ^holiday-in order to
raise funds with which to properly
equip their hall, and that, contrary
to the experiences of the past, per
fect order prevailed. There was no
drunkenness at either of these func
tions, and the absence of whiskey
was very generally and favorably
commented upon by the Woodmen
who were responsible for the proper
. management of these social gather
ings.
Mr. Payne further started that
when the dispensary was located at
Edgefield the older and more
thoughtful citizens of hu- communi
ty dreaded for the young people to
have a party or social gathering, for
Some young .men of that community,
as well as some from adjoining
neighborhoods, would always pro
Vide a supply of ' liquor for the oc
casion. As a result, not infrequent
ly their parties would end in a row;
always in confusion and disorder,
tinder prohibition conditions have
changed. A new order of things
now exists.
After all, the greatest good that
comes through prohibition is re
moving the temptation from the
boys and young men. It will not re
form those who became addicted
to strong drink under the old bar
room dispensation, but prohibition
is making- sober young men of the
rising rreneration, .Fc-r- this reason,
the good effects of prohibition -will
become moir, -and more apparent as
the years pass. . ~ .
Son. 4. C. Sheppard Endorsed.
Ata meeting of the Edgefield bar
on Saturday laBt the following reso
lution was. adopted:
"Whereas by reason of th? res
ignation of Chief Justice Pope, a
vacancy will occur oh the supreme
court*bench of this state to be filled
at the ensuing session of the gener
al assembly, resolved by the bar ->f
Edgefield. in meeting assembled that
we unanimously ' endorse and re
commend for election as associate,
justice our distinguished ' fellow
citizen, Hon. John. C. Sheppard, be
lieving that a member of the pres
ent supreme court pench should and
will be promoted to the position of?
chief justice."*
The General Assembly could
make no better choice than tins
distinguished son of Edgefield. Mr.
Sheppard would wear the ermine
with grace, dignity and ability, re
flecting credit upon~ himself and
upon South Carolina.

The New Division.
Elsewhere , in this issue will be
found the program of the' union
meeting of the newly formed third
division of the Ld gen eld Associa
tion. The initial meeting will be
held at Parksville on\ Saturday and
Sunday. January 30th and 31st, at
which time a permanent organiza
tion will be effected. The program -
is well arranged, the topics being
varied and the speakers being Chris
tian workers of experience who are
capable of entertaining and greatly
edifying their hearers. From the
very outset we predict for the third
division a successful future. Divid
ing the old second division and
holding two union meetings on the
fifth Saturdays and Sundays among
churches where only one was held
before will lead to the drawing out
and development of new material,
thereby increasing the number of
Christian workers.
Who'll Contribute Next?
We have had interesting and
very, valuable contributions from
"Red Crank*1 and ?'White Rocks;"
now we should hear ;from "Barred
Rocks," "Wyanddtt," "Leghorn,"
"Game Cock," "Jersey," ^Guern
sey," "Short Horn," "Angora,"

pleased to publish: one or more let
ters each week from poultry'and
stock raisers, setting forth the mer
its, or demerits, as the case may
be, of this or that breed; Such ar
ticles wou^d 'encourage and stimu
late stock raising, as well ats aid in
arousing interest in the County Fair

could write inter?stmg-ly and relate
valuable experience'.along the line
above suggested.
Gentlemen, send,1 in your letters.
These winter evenings are too long
for you to plead lack of time as an
excuse. The Advertiser is anxious,
as ie evidenced by the. gold prizes
we are offering US *c'orn growers, to
arouse the people'sod to do its ut
most to make the County Fair a suc
cess. But the people the msel ves have
an important part to perform, and
we believe that ?they will enter
heartily into it
Send in your letters. The Adver
tiser will make room for all of
them.
P. S. Lechers need not be con
fined to any of the subjects sug
gested above. Select any subject
you please except cotton, as we
draw the line on that. Our people
know too much now about growing
cotton.
Blank Books.
Start the new year right by com
ing to us for your blank books. We
have a large stock of ledgers, jour
nals, cash and day books.

To use the optimistic language of
the Columbia . State's head : lines,
"Prosperity smiles" upon Parks
vilie. The Robertson & Elkins firm,
about which we wrote in our slat,
will,, in a few days, begin the erec
tion of a large brick store on post
office lot. The bank Hrill also in the
near future commence to erect a
magnifient new home on a beautiful
corner lo,t.
, The farmous Twin City Power
Company will also begin operations
in a few days. ^
The Woodmen camp here, Tues
day night resolved, that they need
ed, a newx brick hall in which to
meet: therefore further resolved,
that they form a joint stock compa
ny of Woodmen only, making 200
shares of ten dollars each, allowing
no one share, nor more than 20, so
that no one member can own a con
troling interest in the same. The
idea is to build a two story brick
structure, 40 by 60 feet. The first
story to be used as a store and coun
cil chamber, and the second story
for the fraternities, lyceum courses,
etc. There are 70 members of the
Woodman camp here, and this un
dertaking being laudable and praise
worthy is not a h?ird or impossible
undertaking, and we one and all
bid the Woodman God speed.
