Well, well, Charleston is td have
a "sky scraper." Who would have j
thought it.
The Advertiser's shibboleth for
1909: "More corn and le:?s John
Barleycorn."
Custom or the "unwritten law"
often annuls the written laws of
the land. The law states that tax-1
payers shall return their property at
full value, buta custom of long
standing says- return it at 60 per
cent.
Mad dogs are reported in other
sections of the state in the dead of
winter. The recent legislature en
deavored to "safeguard sheep by
outlawing sheep-killing- dogs, but j
made no effort to protect humanity
from the worthless dogs that roam
the country.
When the waters of the Savan
nah begin to rise," the fears of the
people along its banks begin to rise
also, not knowing how great has j
boen the rainfall np stream. The
govern ment should establish stations
in the Savannah valley from which
accurate telegraphic information
could be had during a season of |
prolonged rain.
According to newspaper reports,
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
formerly of the White House, at
tended church at Oyster Bay on
foot last Sunday, covering a total
distance to and, fro of about six j
miles. That beats the folks "way |
down in Dixie" all hollow. Why,
bless your life,.'some Edge?ield peo- j
pie can't WfJk three blocks to j
burch.
houid be Carried Unanimously.
Elsewhere in this issue is pub
lished the notice of an election that
ha3 been ordered by thc County
Board of Education upon hie ques
tion of voting a special levy in
Parksville school district. A very
important question now confronts
the people of Parksville. One, the
solution of which, will affect not
only the present but generations
yet unborn. The proposed lev}*
should be carried without i dis
senting ballot. The^ people of Parks
ville and vicinity being a progres
sive people, can they in so impor
tant a matter as this afford to take
a step backward? Bacon, Edgefield,
Long Cane, Liberty Hill, Johnston,
Plum Branch and White Town
sc hool districts have all voted spe
cial levies for the support DI their
public schools. Can Parksville afford
to do less?
In our judgment this is the prop
er and equitable way to supplement
the present school fund. Improve
the educational facilities of any
community and you also, and in the
same proportion, enhance the value
of the property in that community.
Everyone will admit this. Then, if
the property is rendered more de
sirable and more valuable, let the
property owners bear their pro rata
share of the support of the schools.
The railroads, banks, manufactur- ?
ing interests, as well as real estate,
both j?f resident an non-resident
owners, should all contribute to the
school fund in proportion as they
receive benefit.
No better way of reaching all in
terests equitably and justly can be |
found than by making a special
levy upon all taxable property for J
school purposes.
Heed This Request.
There will be a meeting of Co. F.
in the armory Thursday night, Mch
18th, all members are urged to at
tend and MUST bring with them
all uniforms or parts thereof which
they may have in their possession.
This includes both the drab and
khaki uniforms. At the recent in
spection the only complaint made
was on the ground that the uniforms
were not being kept in the armory.
You are therefore earnestly request
ed to comply fully with this require
ment, as failure on your part will
place the officers under the necessity
.of sending out for this property
Which MUST BE KEPT TS THE ARMORY.

A Dishonest Young Man and an
Honest Young Man.
Several years ago a young man
moved from Edgefield county into
another state to seek his fortune.
Ile was at the time one of The Ad
vertiser's subscribers, owing us for
several months subscription; 'but
gave his new address and requested
that the paper be continued, stating
also that he would soon remit. As
time passed on and hearing not a
word from the young fellow, we sent
him several statements Of his sub
scription, without ever receiving a
reply. Imagine our indignation
and utter disgust when recently we
received a card from the postmaster
stating that the paper had been re
fused and lay "dead" in the office.
Mark-you, the fellow went away
owing us but upon his request we
continued to mail him The Adverti
ser; and . instead of paying the
amount due rind stopping the paper
as every honest man would have
done, he simply refused to take
the paper from the office, which
doubtless left the impression upon
the postmaster that the' paper had
been forwarded to him without his
consent.
In marked contrast with this is
the experience we had with another
former Edgefield boy: A young
man who formerly lived in our town
wrote us after locating elsewhere, to
place his name on The Advertiser's
subscription list and forward him a
bill. We promptly began to send
him the paper but overlooked send
ing bill as requested. A few days
ago we received the following note;
''Enclosed-you will find a check for
?1.50, which please place to my cred
it. I don't know how much I owe.
If I am due you any more will send
it soon.''
Which of these former Edgefield
boys would you trust with your
cash or merchandise? One is distinct
ly dishonest, while the other is the
soul of honor. The man who"jumps"
a subscription account will treat a
store account or bank note \iri like
manner.
News From the Red Hill Section.
This rain has caused the roads to
get muddy, muddy, muddy again,
and also has delayed the farmers
with their work a great deal. A bad
beginning at the work does not
mean a bad ending.
Well, a well is being bored in our
town, and manya step will be saved
thereby. The little boys are being
made happy becaustr they .will no
longer haye to bring water fro
the^spring. Rev. Mr. Littlejohn was

We were delighted to have with
us last Saturday and-Sunday, Cadet ;

is a son of our missionarv, Rev. J.
J. Taylor, in Brazil and has been
in South, Carolina several years at
tending school.
On Sunday afternoon there was
quite a large crowd considering the
extremely unpleasant weather, at the
B. Y. B. U. meeting. The regular
program was dispensed with and
Mr. Taylor made us a very inter
esting and instructive talk on Bra
zil, after which he answered vari
ous questions about Brazil asked In
different ones. We are expecting to
have a continuation of the study of
foreign fields on next Sunday.
Our p?stor's mother was buried
last week in Spartanburg and he
has returned from a several days
stay up there. His father was buried
just fourteen months before his
mother. He has our sincere sympa
thy and though we knew not his
parents we have learned tQ love
them through him. Though they
are no longer here to lend a helping
hand or speak a kind word to man
kind, they have left behind ' in the
person of their son, our beloved Mr.
Littlejohn, one who is ever on the
alert to save his fellow man. May
the knowledge of these two looking
down from "mansions in the sky"
give him greater enthusiasm and
more power in his chosen work. \.
It is rumored that we will have
a canning factory established in our
town this spring, and we hope
thereby to make profitable use of
our surplus fruits and vegetables.
Also those who want to plant ?veg
etables for sale will have a conven
ient market.
Mr. Hazel of Spartanburg made
a flying visit to relatives here last
week.
Mr. Wilbur Strom, of Rehoboth,
spent a night in our town recently.
We regret to say that Miss Wei
nona Strom has returned to Reho
both ' 'bag and baggage" but we
hope to see her back occasionally.

months among such hospitable

The case consumed thc remainder
of last week and was resumed Tues
day afternoon of the present week.
The slow progress that is being
mtide is due largely to the examina
tion of the records and great num
ber of vouchers that were paid during
the early part of Dr.' Pattison's ad
ministration as county treasurer.
The remainder of this week will be
consumed with the case, and it is
possible that it will extend into next
week.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
Hon. D. S. Henderson, of Aiken,
Capt. N. G. Evans arid S. M. Smith,
Esq. The defendant's attorneys
are Hon. George .Tohstone, of New

gaged with the case of T. E. Lamb,
administrator, against thc Southern

Beautiful Life Brought to a Close.
As Monday's sun sank beneath
the western hills, the soul of Mrs
Elizabeth Russell was wafted to the
mansion in the sky prepared for
those who love and serve the Lord.
Daring the latter years of her long
earthly sojourn of nearly eighty
years, Mrs. Russell was confined to
the house, and in recent months she
was confined to her bed much of the
time, yet she always greeted her
friends with a bright, learning
smile that betokened a submission
to tile Divine will that is seldom
witnessed...In her feeble health she
wanted nothing, being ministered
unto by her loved ones most tender
ly and beautifully. She bore up
patiently under the afflictions of the
body and kept the faith loyally and
devotedly unto the end.
This good woman is survived by
a daughter, Miss Mellie Russell, and
a son, Mr. W. H. Russell. She was
a member of the Methodist church.
The funeral was conducted from
that church Tuesday afternoon by
Rev. L. D. Gillespie, the interment
taking place in the village cemetery.
