EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER Established 1835. J? L. MEMS - - - - EDITOR TERMS: ONE YEAR - - - - - $1.50 SIX MONTHS - - -, - .75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1909. ?Prosperity is a great teach- I er; adversity is a greater. Pos- f session pampers the mind; pri vation trains and strengthens it.- HAZLITT. The South Carolina editors will sing the praises of the "Pearl of the Piedmont" Bin one grand chorus this week. ~ Tot a farmer in the county should fail to attend the farmers' institute that will be held in the court house Monday next. The officers and directors of the County Fair. Association can not make the fair a success next fall without the co-operation of the peo ple of the town and county. They can provide the buildings, which they are planning to. do, but the people should take a more active interest in the enterprise. Begin now to talk up the county fair. Encouraged by the stimulus that has been given corn growing in the county by the prizes we have offer ed, The Advertiser will put on. a wheat, andoats contest next fall. Select your prize acres and have everything in readiness to enter. Sending Hon. E. D. Smith to Washington has not yet caused him to. lose sight of the farmers' in terests. The junior senator will soon sail for a three months trip abroad, and one reason^ assigned for his going is to enable him to "study the cotton- situation in foriegn countries." The demand for young men to fill positions of honor and trust was ?nevergreater than to-day, yet there are not a few men in active busi ness life who hp ve passed by a score of years. Dr. Osier's "chloroform ing" limit One of Connecticut's congressmen is eighty-two and- St. Louis has a bank psesident who has passed his ninetieth year. fi It is reported that prominent southern business men are urging President Taft to appoint Mr. D. A. Tompkins minister to China. The maintaining of proper and business-like relations between the United States and China means much to the south, for the reason that that country aftords a very profitable market for the coarse cot ton goods manufactured by south ern mills. We know dino man who could render more valuable service in developing this field than Mr. Tompkins. A business man, not a | politician,is needed atithis juncture. The Farmers Institute. A golden opportunity is present ed to every farmer in the county. Monday next seven^professors from Clemson college will arrive in Edgefield to conduct a farmers' in stitute for one day only. .Beginning at ten o' clock speeches * of twenty minutes duration will be? made by these scientific men upon topics of vital concern to every larmer in the county. A question ocjg. will be provided, and some time will be consumed in a general, discussion of the questions asked. Unl?sa 'provi dentially kept away, every farmer in the county should be present. Hast be Properly 'Preserved. Ye soldiers and government em ployees who haye government prop erty committed to your keeping, you had better preservo it and re turn it to the proper officials when demanded. A minimum penalty of $1,000 and oise year, arid a maxi mum penalty of $5,000 and five years, is providecl for those who dispose of or trade in government property. Wade Ham pton [Sellers, the alleged blind tiger, king of Co lumbia, killed a constable with a .E^g Jorgensen" rifle about 7two yews ago, and will be indicted for having the rifle, which is govern ment property, in his possession. The f?d?ral laws do not even allow anyone to trade in government property. A Charleston merchant was sentenced to the Atlanta prison for having three government shirts his possession.

Columbia Record, cannot b^ commended too highly for putting' on the Capital-td-Connty path-find ing tours. Two cars in charge ol Mr. McDavid Horton, news editoi of The Record, left Columbia Mon day morning, and, after stopping at Lexington, Leesville, Batesburg, Ridge Spring and Johnston, reach ed Edgefield about ?:30 in'the. af ternoon."Editor H. C. Bailey pilot ed the pathfinders from Johnston to Edgefield, and Mr. J. L. Mims ac companied them to Trenton. The handsome Buick car was oc cupied by Mr. Geo. L. Baker and Mr. McDavid Horton, heing driven by Mr. A. J. Kind. ; The Brush runabout, also a splendid machine, was occupied by Mr. Pelzer Young blood, circulation manager of Tho Record, and Chauffeur W. R. Fish burne. These cars are sent out by ? the Gregory-Conder Company of Columbia. They climbed the Edge field hills with perfect ease.. It was greatly regretted that>Mr. Horton, a young gentleman1 of charming personality, and his party, could hot remain longer in Edge field. They made a number of friends while here. The pathfinders went in to Augusta Monday/ night and returned to Columbia by way of Aiken, Bamberg, Denmark, Liv ingston-and North. " Under the , direction of The Record six tours will be made from the'capital, visiting every county seat in the state. The object of these tours is to select the best routes and obtain ali information possible that will be of benefit to parties who will tour the state from time to time, both on business and pleasure. This commendable undertaking of 'the ' enterprising editor of The Record will, in addition to the pleasure anil profit - afforded auto tourists, stimulate the building of better roads throughout the state. Mrs. Julia F. Holstein. "After the toil and trouble, There cometh a day of rest; After the weary conflict; Peace on the Saviour's breast." Just as the Sabbath morn was bursting into the sweet calm of a golden day, in the leafy month' of June, when the flowers are brightest and when the birds were singing their most jpyous notes, th? gentle spirit of Mrs. Julia F. Holoteln took its flight to her home in Heaven, on t?he 13th day of June, 1909. Almost sixty/summers ago Miss Julia F. Dozier was married to. Mr. Moses N. Holstein aind as a beatiti Cul blushing bride went to the de lightful Ridge land where 6he has lived solong and which she loved so well in her airy home amid the shady ?a^s. She was a sister of1 James A. Dozier, Esq., and Dr. Al len Dozier, bcjth of whom were typi cal Southern gentlemen, and Mrs. L. Charlton her sister and playmate during the happy days bf childhood is /.eft now alone and heart broken, like the last rose of summer. Mrs. Holstein had to pass through the horrors of theJ3onfederate war and its direful consequences, and. if the names of the : faithful wives of the Confederate veterans should be carved on the teblets of the monu ment soon to \he erected to their honor by the State, then that of Ju lia F. Holstein would be among those at the head of the list. . She endured the shock with noble fortitude and reared up a famjly of children of whom any one might well be proud and during her long married life she never had a death in the home, as all her children are now living and doing well. No crepe eyer hung on her hospitable door. Her children were all about,her when she passed away and they to gether with her devoted husband did all that human skill could^ do to pro mote her comfort. .The leading characteristics of the good woman werehumility,practical industry and unselfish generosity. She was as modestas the violet, and without any of that ostentatious pride of those who love conspicuous places, she loved to sit in the back ground and be most seen through her work. She was the perfection of a domestic wife; devoted'to her husband and children and given to generosity and charity. No negro ever; ever went out of her back yard hungry, and several of her trusted old-time negro servants came up, a distance of about 25 miles,'frora her plantation, to attend her funeral ser vice^} and. shed tin cere tears over her grave. In the w^rds pf King. Lem uel: ff , "The heart ol' her husband doth safely trust in her. She stretched her hands .-to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the nee dy-She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the the bread of idleness; many daugh ters "have done virtuously but she excalleth them all." With all her practical diligence, she was a devoted Christian and nev er forgot the religious training of the days of her youth, by her noble father, Rev. Allen Dozier" who was a Baptist minister, and she taught the Bible to her children both bj precept and example. She was the embodiment of al] that made up' the home and such a woman as one would naturally thinl of when listening to that preciouf i song "Home Sweet Home." Amid the many beautiful thingf '. in this world one of the most admi 1 rabie was the warm attachment o: this devoted \ couple. How sh< would watote??r^?Y^eod'hTisband'i I ".'.'vVv ? HB:, EHE coming from the Ridge and how he would wait sjo patiently about her bedside for so many weary months, as Burns says: "John Andersen my Jo John, We clamed the hill thegither; And'many a cm.ty day.John, We've had wi ane anither; Now we mann totter down John, But hand in hand we'll gb, And sleep thegither at the foot John Anaersen my JoT" ?She was beautiful in face and form, beautiful in character and in her Christian faith and devotion to duty and hath left a rich inheritance to her family in her noble, generous and unselfish life. We all do honor to the mission ary woman and justly so too, but still more honor is due OUR like Mrs. Holstein, who by standing by the home, makes it possible for some to ut into foreign lands. "If a blossom should be placed on her grave for every good deed she did during her life, she would sleep today under an avalanche of flow ers." By her long and uncomplaining languishing for several years of suf fering, she was purified by the lov ing Lord, for that upper and better kingdom. She was "buried in the Edgefield Baptist cenietery in the plot of her faithful and only son Mr. J. D. Holstein and her grave is so near that of her grand child, Julia, that the same rose can shed its fra grance over both. And we are persuaded that she is now with her precious grand children and other loved ones on that happy golden shore. Mrs. Robert H. Mims and her faithf ul[fainily, who deserve so much gratitude for their gifted constancy Dn such sad occasions, sang some very-appropriate songs over her pre nions body as it rested under an av alanche of flowers in the church. Dr. C. E. Burts paid a most tender tribute to her sainted memory and upoke with beautiful pathos. While the procession was moving to the grave across the churchyard a mock ing bird was singing in soft sweet ness, as they so often sang in the oaksjibout her home on the Ridge during her long life. She lived beyond the three score s,nd ten, and being nearly seventy five years of age she lingered "Till like ripe fruit she dropped Into her mother's lap and was with ease Gathered, not harshly plucked, for death mature."

Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men, who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was in constant danger from wild beasts. To-day the danger, as shown by A W Brown, of Alexander, Me., is largely from deadly disease. If it had not been for Dr.. Bang's New Discovery, which cured me, I could not have lived, he writes, "suffer ing as I did from a severe lung trouble and stubborn cough." To cure sore lungs, colds, obstinate coughs and prevent pneumonia, its the best medicine on earth. 50c and $1.00. Guarante'e/iL by W E Lynch & Co., Penn &' Holstein^ successors to ?
