Handsome Premium.
At the aale of the estate of the
late Dr. W-H. VTiinmerman.at
Batesburg last - week ! stock in the
Farmers Bank of Edgefield, the par
value of which ?25 per share, sold
for $38.75. This is a very handsome

The Only Honest Way.
The only honorable and honest
way to stop a newspaper is to step
into the office and pay up all ar
rearage, get a receipt and take your
name off the list. To fire your paper
back at the publisher marked * re
fused" when you owe six months or
a year, and never go near the office
is not only disreputable, but super
latively dishonest as well.-Or

Wiil Visit Columbia Later.
? committee from th e city of
Columbia, together with a commit
tee from the South Carolina Bar as
sociation with Hon. J. C. Sheppard,
as chairman and spokesman, called

ourselves among the fortunate re

very useful gifts. The calendar is
splendidly printed on a fine quality
of paper, and the figures are large
and easily read. The almanac is also
very attractive in appearance and
contains much information of in
terest. The company will be glad to
mail the calendar and almanac to
any address on application.
Well Merited Success.
There is no more successful busi
ness man in Edgefield than Mr. H.
H. Sanders. By the exerci se of good
judgment and by close attention
to business since he came to Edge
field, Mr. Sanders has reaped a
large measure of success. So greatly
has the volume of his business in
creased that he has added Mr. T. E.
Lamb to his force of assistants. Mr.
Sanders will still further enlarge
his market by adding a choice line
of groceries. His fancy groceries
will be displayed as soon as ithe
store fixtures have been completed.
The Advertiser wishes Mr. Sanders
still greater success.
A Horrible Hold-Up.
About ten yearsj ago my brother,
was "held up" in his work, health'
and happiness by what was believed
to be hopeless consumption, writes
W. R. Lipscomb, of Washington,
N. C. He took all kinds of remedies
and treatment from several doc^rs,
but found no help till hp. used Dr.
King's New Discovery and was
wholly.cured by six bottles. He is a
well man to-day. It's quick to re
lieve and the surest cure for weak
or sore lungs, hemorrhages, coughs
and colds, bronchitis, la grippe,
asthma and all bronchial affections.
50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free.

Comforting Words.
Manyan Edgefield Household
WUI Fmd Them So.
To have the pains and aohes of a
bad back removed; to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous
urinary disorders is enough to
make any kidney sufferer grateful.
To tell how this great change can
be brought about will prove com
forting words to hundreds of Edge
field readers.
Mrs. Wesley Royal, living on
Xjnion St., Aiken S. C., says: "I
have used Doan's Kidney Pills and
can say-that I have been greatly
benefited. I suffered a great deal for
several years from kidney complaint.
At times there was a dull aching in
the kidney regions and I also suffer
ed from headaches. Doan's kidney
pills did me a wonderful amount of
good that I shall continue using
them as I have great confidence in
their eurative powers."

Cold Spring Fanners Will Com"
pete For The Advertiser's
Prizes to Corn Growers.
Our farmers are busy clearing
ground; cutting briars, filling ditch
es and terraces, cutting wood to
burn during the year, plowing, haul
ing fertilizers and doing other
things which industrious, wide
awake farmers- do. Who says the
Red Hill" farmers will not win both
of the prizes offered by The Adver
tiser, for the greatest number of
bushels of corn grown on one acre,
during the year 1909? . Put us
down for the first prize anyway.
Nothing like trying.
The thin gray lines" are fast
fading away, as one by one those
who faithfully served our South
land, in its darkest hours, answers
to that great call which comes to
soldier and citizen' alike. On last
Saturday the soul of Mr. Whit
Reynolds took its flight, to that
camping ground where he will hear
no more bugle calls until that great
day of j judgment when Gabriel
blows his trumpet. His body was
laid to rest in the Gilgal cemetery
Sunday. He leaves children and
friends to mourn his loss, and to
these we express our sympathies.
Wejead with interest the arti
cles on prohibition published* by
The Advertiser last week, and hope
the editor will reap a rich reward
for his efforts to promote this great
cause. We have seen the great bene
fit of a prohibition law in Edgefield
county and the voters of our com
munity showed their appreciation
of it by signing the petitions to the
Senate and House, sent by the W.

A pleasant evening was spent by
a number of our young people at
the home of Mr. Press Stone on
last Friday night.
Mr. Byrd McClendon was bitten
by his dog on last Saturday and
fearing that it had . hydrophobia
he killed the dog and went imme
diately to a mad stone for treatment.

Hundreds of orphans -have been

used Electric Bitters in this insti
tution for nine years. It hais proved
a mor' excellent medicine for stom
ach, liver and kidney troubles. We
regard it as one of the best family
medicines on earth." It invigorates
the vital organs, purifies the blood,
aids digestion, creates appetite. To
strengthen and build up thin, pale,
weak children -or run-down peoplev
it has no equal. Best for female

County Fair Association Thor
oughly Organized.
" The only fibing; tl&t remains to
be done to make th'?i?ptmty Fair
success is for the fanners to -prepare
their exhibits. The directors met
Saturday and completed, the organi
zation by the election of Mr. B. B.
Jones, manager; Mr. J. M. Cobb,
secretary,, and Dr. J. G. Tompkins,
treasurer. The following were
elected members of the executive j
committee: N. G. Evans, W. E.I
Prescott, D. R. Day, J. R Blocker |
and S. B. Nicholson.
The association is not only now
thoroughly organized and- exceed
ingly well- officered but something
over $1,200 have been .subscribed
to the capital stock, which, with
the subscriptions that will be made
later, assures the holding of a county
fair next October or November, the
exact date to be determined later.
Housewives, poultry raisers, stock
raisers - and rfarmers generally
throughout the county should begin
to arrange for making exhibits. If
creditable exhibits are to be made,
the planning and preparation must
begin now.
j-. Unless the people at large take
an active interest and vie with each
other in the exhibits,. the fair will
be a failure. It will fail to accom
plish that for which its promoters
are chiefly striving: an increase in
stock raising and a diversification
of crops by the farmers of this
coun tv. i
