Largely Sign ed Petitions
Through the efforts of the-me m
i hers of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union, petitions for state
wide prohibition have been circu
. lated in every section of the county,
and on yesterday they were forward
ed to .Columbia. In the aggregate,
the petitions contained between one
thousand and eleven hundred names,
not including two or three petitions
yet to be sent in. This is by con
siderable odds a: majority of the
voters in the county, and indicates
what the. predominating sentiment
- is upon this issue. There were hun
dreds of voters , who could not be
seen during'the short time, that the
petitions were .circulated.
- Cammitt?e Assignments, Much
Work to Jae Done. Mr.Sim,
krcs'Bill.
' ^The legislature has been in ses
sion one week, and, as the first few
days arV always consumed in or
ganization, 'appointment of commit
tees and other' preleminary jjork,
veryjittlu lias been done up to this
time. The House adjourned from
Saturday until to-day. yesterday
being a holiday-General Lee's
birthday. The senate declined to
adjourn- and has b?en steadily at
work.
The committee- assignments of
. Edgefield's delegation are as fol
laws:
Senator R?insford will serve on
the following committees: Agricul
tural, Enrolled Bills, Engrossed
Bills, Incorporations, Medical af
fairs and Public Lands.
Mr. Simkins will serve on the
following House committees: Judi
ciary, Hospital for Insane, Offices
and Officers.
' Mr. Wells received the following
assignments on House committees:
Education, Federal Relations, Fish,
(jame and Forrestry.
The several vacancies that are to
he filled will consume considerable
itiine, the most important being the
election of a Chief Justice and an
Associate Justice. Either Associate
Justice J?nes or Gary wilhbe elect
;.ed Chief Justice, and prominently
mention for Associate Justice are
Circuit Judges Watts, Hydriek and
Gage, Representatives Cothran and
Hon. Jl C. Sheppard.
Some difficult problems to be
solved this session are the repeal of
the lien law, the liquor question, a
change in the assessment of proper
ty for taxation, etc. More than t?vo
weeks were consumed %s t session
\ upon the lien law and the discus
sion of prohibition without the ac
complishment of anything. Such
should not be the case this year.
Mr. Simkins has introduced a bill
providing for .an extension of the
term . of the , County ? superin
tendent of education and county
' supervisor from two to four years.
This should become a law. The fact
is, it would' better if all of the
officers were elected for four years,
doing away with the frequent hold
ing of elections. Furthermore, it^
quires one term of two years for an
official to become thoroughly fa
miliar with the duties of the office.

Will Compete For The Adverti
ser's Prize*,.
Mr. William Toney of Johnston,
.was in Edgefield. on Monday
and, while in conversation with the
writer, said the man who wins The
Advertiser's first prize next fall will
have to grow some fine corn. He
.will soon measure off his acre and
begin the preparation. Mr. Toney
says no farmer in one section of the
county-has the advantage of far
' mers in other sections because of
the supposed superior character of
the soil. He says, and we believe
he is right, the yield will depend
upon the preparation, fertilization
and manner of cultivation. An acre
f of0 average land anywhere in the
bounty : properly prepared, properly
(.fertilized and properly oultivated
,;can be made to produce a large
jyield. As soon as the land is in plow
ing order, select your acre and turn
it np deep, very deep. That will be
a'good start. We want to see four
or five hundred farmers enter this
-contest.

Trio of Public Servants.
!Ye present the third installment
of county officials' this week-a trio
of public servants.
Mr. W. B. Cogbnrn has just en
tered upon his third term as clerk
Mr/W. B. Co gb urn .
-of court, having served for eight
consecutive years in this capacity,
always giving entire satisfaction to
the people who elected him. Edge
field, or any other county in the
state for that matter, has never had
a more capable and efficient ' clerk
of court.
Mr. W. G. Onzts, after filling the
Mr. W. G. Ouzts
unexpired term of his lamented fa
ther, Sheriff W. H. Ouzts, entered'-'
with the new year upon his first full
term as sheriff of Edgefield county.
Suffice it to say that, this worthy son
of an honored sire is ever alert, ac
Mr. J. R. Timm er man.
tive, faithful and fearless in the dis
charge of the duties that pertain to
this the-chief executive office of the
county.
In a few days the Governor will
commission Mr. J. Ransom Tim
merman as county auditor.- This
being an appointive instead of an
elective office, Mr. Timmerman did
not receive his commission at the
beginning of the new year as di"1
some of th? other county officials.
The newly chosen auditor is a young
man who is just entering upon his
public career, but being affable in
manner, generous by nature, strong
ly endowed intellectually and of
unimpeachable integrity, we are
confident that he will measure up
to the highest expectations of his
friends in the discharge of every
duty.
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.

Notice to Taxpayers. . '
The county Auditor's office will
be open for the purpose of receiving
tax returns from the 1st day of
January to the 20th of February
1909 inclusive, after which date
the law imposes the addition of
fifty cents penalty to the dollar for
neglect or refusal to make returns.
The law requires a full return of all
property owned or managed by
husband, guardian, executor, ad
ministrator or in a fiduciary capaci
ty^ and to note all (transfers of real
estate. All male citizens between
the agfs of twenty one and sixty
years of age are required to pay a
poll tax oif one dollar each, except
those exempt by law.

Successful Stock Raises.
Mr. Julian R. Strother set6 a
-erTr worthy example to his broth
er farmers in that he raises all of
the stock he needs on the farm. Pie
drove, a pair of fine home-raised
mules to town several days ago that
were far^ superior to any western
stock that is shipped here. One of
tho mules, a tall, weil-<leveloped
black mule, was only two and a
half years of age, yet from its size
and general appearance the . casual
observer would have estimated its
age at twice that number -of years.
This shows that the best horses and
mules to be found can be grown
right here in Edgefield county.
Every farmer should raise at least
one colt every year. The county fair
will stimulate stock raising through
out the county.
Union Meeting Program.
The union meeting of the second
division will-* meet with Horn's
Creek church on Saturday the 30th,
of Janhary. After devotional exer
cises the annifal election of officers

Self-Explanatory Letter From
Comptroller Genet J.
Mr. J. T. Mims.
Edgefield, S. C.
Dear Sir:
I regret, to say that I
have been unable since your ap
pointment as County Treasurer, and
am still unable, to secure the servi
ces of an expert accountant, ex
perienced in the matter of settle
ment of taxes who could go Edge
field and make a settlement as be
tween you and Dr. Pattison, the
late County Treasurer.
After consultation with the Gov
ernor, I suggest that you defer the
actual collecting of any taxes or the
actual exercises of any of the other
duties of your office until such a
settlement can be made as will pro
tect the interest of all parties con
cerned. In order to avoid any injury
to the tax payers, the Governor
has approved my ordering an exten
sion of the time for the'payment of
taxes in Edgefield county, without
penalty, until the 1st of.-March.
I will endeavor to procure thel
services of an expert accountant I
and have the settlement made as
soon as possible.,
- Yours very truly,
A. W. Jones,
Comptroller General.
