FARMERS UNION MET.
Delegates Elected to the State
Convention^Splendid Results
Obtained by President
Parl?s.
In response to the call of Presi
dent W. R. Parks, a meeting of the
Farmers' Union was held in the
court house Saturday morning.
Quite a number of delegates from
the local union? were pr?sent, and
after reading the minutes- and dis
posing of regular routine business
the following delegates to the state
convention which meets in Colum
bia, July 22nd,' were appointed: W.
R. Parks, J. M. Wright, George
Cartledge and HY W. Dobey. Mr.
J. M. Wright was elected business
agent. This organization has accom
plished great good for the fanners
of this and other states, 'therefore'
'we trust that instead of letting (he
interest wane, the farmers will put-f"
new life into the organization.
Here is what some of the mem
bers of the Union haye been doing:
' Hon. W. R. Parks sowed six bush
els and one N pint of wheat, on ten
and a half acres of land last fall
and threshed 339 bushels of wheat
'therefrom, which is an av?rage
yield of over SS bushels per acre.
There is no good reason why far
mers should now be^paying $8.00
per barrel for flour. What Mr.
Parks has done this year, every
other farmer can do. ~~
Mr. B. D.. JKitchings out 9,000
pounds cf good crimson clover hay
from an acre and three quarters of
land. Hr. Ki tebin g3 is a wide-awake,
progressive farmer and appreciates
tho value of growing a winter for
age crop.
Mr. Geo. W. Scott has been sell
ing corn this year, and the outlook
at present is, that he will make
enough to supply his neighbors
next year.
Aside from the power that far
mers gain through organization, the
members of the Union are benefit
ted by exchanging . hieas, methods,
etc., at the, meetings of their local
Unions. Relating their achievement
encourages and inspires others to
do likewise..
The Advertiser bids the Farmers
Union God-speed in its work for
advancement of the agricultur
nterests of. the county '.and-steted
e would like to see the. organiza
tion grow until the hame -of every
farmer m the conntv wa.<- on its
roll.
Trib?te te Mrs. Mamie Miller.
Whereas, it has pleased God in
his infinite wisdom to take, unto
himself our beloved- sister, Mrs.
Mamie Miller, we the members of
th* Woman's Missionary Society
of Peace Haven, wish to record our
appreciation of the worth v of this
Christian worker, and . bow with
perfect submission to his will; there
fore, be it resolved,
1st That ia ber death ourW.
M. U. has lost one of its truest and
most faithful - workers. She was
ever ready to help in all our under
takings.
2nd That while we sorrow over
^jer departure we recognize that it
is God that has bereft us and he
doeth all things well.
3rd That our loss is. her eternal
gain, and while she will come to our
meetings no more with her loving
sympathy, she has left behind her
influences for good that will never
die, and that come up as memorials
oi" a sweet smelling savor before
that God whom she so faithfully
served while here on earth. .
4th That we extend our deepest
sympathy to the bereaved husband
and children.
5th That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to the family and pub
lished in the county papers and that
a page in our minutes be' given to
her memory.

CAPITAL INCREASED.
Twin City Power Company Will
Increase Capital Stock From
One to Three Million
Dollars.
As stated in The Advertiser, last
week, the/ investment of northern
capital in the "extreme, western edge
of the county by the Twin City
Power Company means much to
Edgefield county. Recent develop
ments have revealed the . fact that
this enterprise is of greater magni
tude than our people ever dreamed
of. Tne company was originally
capitalized at $1,000,000 but last
week made application to the Secre
tary of State for permission to in
crease the capital to $3,000,000,
which wilt1 make it rank among the
largest corporations in the South.
After the mammoth plant is comple
ted and the property is returned for
taxation at sixty per cent of its val
ue, just as all other property is re
turned, it will lighten the? tax bur
den very materially. *
The people of the county are in
debted to Mr. L. F. Dorn for this
stroke of good fortune. The Twin
City Company owns thousands of
acres of land on the Georgia banks
of the river, besides its large hold
ings on the Carolina side, and its
promoters could have had it incor
porated under the laws of Georgia
instead of Soth Carolina, making its
property returnable for taxation in
the former state. Through the in
fluence of 'Mr. Dorn, who has been
the company's local manager for
several years, it was made a South
Carolina corporation, consequently
whatever benefits accrue will.be
reaped by the people on this side of
the Savannah. A thousand thanks
to Parksville's progressive citizen.
The . Columbia correspondent to
the News and Courier had the fol
lowing to say of the increase of the
capital stock:
."The Secretary of, State to-day
granted the ^win City Power Com
pany the right to increase its capi
tal stock from $1,000,000 to_$8,000
000. The principal place of busi
ness of the company hf at P/arksville
in Edgefield Co;mty. The directors
of the company are Thomas O'Con
nor,!) M. Maekaye, G. j. O'Connor,.
G, R. Coffin and L. F. Dcm.
" v**The char??r of the company "em
powers \\ to engage in . the,business
of-p nrchasing? acquiring-and con
structing dams, canals and other
work for the purpose of developing
power by water and electricity to
transmit and sell, to build mills and
other manufacturing- establishments
and to engage in manufacturing gen
erally, and for such other uses and.
purposes as are more fully and par
ticularly set forth in said charter."
Advertise-and Do It First
The catalogu? houses are far and
away the best advertisers on deck to-,
day. Why? Take their book and
read. You will find a description .
that describes. A picture that sho*
"how the-thing looks." A price
that tells how much it costs. That
is the sum and substance of their
advertising-and it gets the business.
The local newspaper is the Nbest ad
vertising medium on earth for the
local merchant-if he will only use
it. He is on the ground. He has
the goods. If he is out of an article
he can get it quicker than the custo-'
mer-if he can'the had better try
another house. He stands behind
his goods. He is there tomorrow to
rectify the error of today. But he
must get the attention of the buyer
-and he must get that attention be
fore the catalogue man does. The
most effective way is through the
columns of the local newspaper.
Jobber and Retailer.
The Bashful Lover.
A love smitten youth who was
studying the approved method of
proposal asked one of his bachelor
friends if he thought that a young
man should propose to a girl on
his knees.
"If he doesn't,'* replied,, his
friend, "the girl should get off."
'Sign of Improvement
The follqwing was told, accor
ding to Judge, of the patient of a
well known New York physician:
The patient,. an elderly gentle
man, became quite ill while -the
doctor was absent, upon a vacation,
the indisposition being the result
of Jtoo frequent potations. A female
nurse was at once engaged td care
for him in his hotel.
A lady, resining in the sanie ho
tel, became aware of his illness, and
interested herself to the extent of
one morning inquiring concerning
his condition of the chambermaid.
"Share, ma'am," replied Maggie,
"an' I think he clo be gettin' along
very well. The nurse was sitjtin' on
his lap this monning!" .

SPLENDID ADDRESSES.
Graphic Account of the Christian
Worker's Convention at Mc
Cormick.
You may know bi' he convention
or the Ciiristian- Temperance Work

ister fron your tov/ii,: Hey. C. E.
Burts, delivered a m||? earnest ad
dress in th? interest^proliibitrbn.
So favorably is he known ,in Mc
Cormick that the merchants there
closed their stores that they might
assemble and listen' t^pis, ; discouse.
Burts is a mah ?f?Bne personal
ity and his address of over an hour's
duration received earnest attention.
One-argument in favor of prohibit
ion was a practical ?n|p)usiness-iike j
one, namely: that'np l^e.^ corpora
tion wouhil employ a pian known to
be addicted to the use ?f intoxicants.
I do not. mean this was his only ar
gument in favor of prohibition.
I would like to ?peak of all the
business that; came'before the. Con
vention and give a synopsis of all
the addresses. I wonder if I .did, if
you would give me kpace or your
readers a hearing? Yetthe exercises
were most ^en joy able,-;
Miss Emma Garyj of Atlanta,
G?ogia,a gifted and graceful Vornan
who has been a missioner to China
for the past decade but whose duties
seem now to le in this country ad
dressed the meeting on Temperance,
her plea being temperance in all
^hings. One little good natured
flingshe made against po?r cookery,
urging training schools where the
proper preparation of foqd should
be taught.
Miss Anna Finnstrom,'superinten
dent of the Door of Hope at Colum
bia, S. C., gave a stirring, address on
rescue work. Its object was to in
duce the! legislature to raise the ex
isting age of consent two years,
namely: from sixteen to eighteen,
She believed there would ^then be
fewer to rescue, as girls would then
be more thoughtful of themselves.
At the close of her address various
questions were asked, her abf.ait her
work; her speech had aron-.Vi inter
est which found expression ia a sub
stantial offering to mr:. .:. uer
I Mr! W. W. Fow

interests.-of a juvenile court. Mr.
Fowler has well sonsidered this sub
ject and his Whole heart is set oh the
establishment of such a court. .
Ensign Robbins, of the Salvation
Army at Augusta, Ga., gave a good
address, one that every one was
glad to hear.
Now, what room is left me to
speak bf the universal spirit of kind
ness shown, at McCormick by the
pastors of the churches, b^ their
congregations, and everyone
What room is left to -tell v?i the
Band of Hope exercises and the
names of officers and delegates to
the convention?
I look back apon the days spent
at McCormick as som? of the most

Fair Association Held
. Saturday.
In response to the call of Presi
dent James' R. Cantelou, a goodly
number of the stockho?ders of the'
County Fair Association was held
in the court house Saturday morn
ing". The first business disposed of
was effecting a permanent organiza

pfiicers: J. R. Cantelou, president;
J. L. Mims, vice-president; L. W.

From this board the president ap- '

will report to the executive commit

be taken to improve the fair
grounds here.
The gentlemen who attended
Saturday's meeting were very en
thusiastic, being very much en- j
conraged over the outlook.
The treasurer reported that of
the ?1,350.00 originally subscribed
$512 have been collected and that
$132 have been paid out on vouch
ers properly signed by the preui- ;

The World's Work has a timery
editorial upon the- efficiency of the
agriculturist in the south as against 1
that of the farmer of the north.
Iowa receives $1,088 a year for ag
ricultural products for every farm
laborer/within her borders. New 1
Hampshire receives $477, North 1
Carolina $149 and South Carolina 1
$147. The net product per acre is' !
40 per cent less in the South than,
in the North Central States. Con- !
tinning, the World's Work says:
"The reason for this discrepancy '
is not in the soil, for-whether or ;
not the soil of the Carolinas is capa- 1
ble pf as much as that of Iowa-it
certainly is as rich as the soil of
New Hampshire. The land and the [
climate are favorable. The fault
lies with man7 and not inherently :
with him, but with his training and
with his methods. With no larger
agricultural population than she has
now, the south could produce three
times her present output if her popu
lation were as efficient as that of
New Hampshire. Dr. Seaman A.
Knapp of the department of agri
culture believes that it can be in
creased eightfold. And x there are .
enough instances of the large.re
sults obtained from proper cultiva
tion to justify Dr. Knapp's opti
mism."
Patronize The Concord
Nurseries. I
To my friends and patrons
throughout Edgefield and Saluda
counties: ? /
I beg to say, I fear I will not be
able .to visit the home of every land
owner in the interest of the well
known, and justly popular Concord
Nurseries of Georgia, but any one
wishing to inspect our line of fruit
or ornamental tress, ^!an notify me
through the mail, and I will call on
them with pleasure.
I would call special attention to
the ever-bearing mulberry, which
begins to drop its fruit early in
spring and continues through the
summer, being very valuable for
hogs and poultry. One tree is worth
a barrel of corn every year. It is
also valuable as a shade and or
namental tree, and will bear the
second year. Ono of my customers
says he has one that he would not
take twenty-five dollars for.
Drop me a card at Edgefield,
when in need "of any kind of trees
or flower?.

PROMISE FAIR YIELD.
Crops Around Park*ville Small
But Promising. [Delegates
Elected to Sunday School
Convention at Trenton.
The crops in this section and
in face in western Carolina so far
aa I have observed are small and
backward on account of too much
rain. The two or three weeks, how
ever, of sunshine preceding the last
seige of rain, gave the farmers a
chance. to clean their crops, and
though small . in many sections,
promise a fair yield. The highly
manured corn either planted on the
Williamson plan or for the prize
contest is growing since the last rain
and a good yield of corn is possible
even yet, notwithstanding the ad
verse conditions prevailing during
planting time.\
A great many people from $he
surrounding county came into
Parksville during the last week,
some of whom were O.O. Seigler,
of Seiglertown, Mr. Press Strom, of
Rehoboth, and Mr. Will Reel and
his interesting little boy from
Cleora. We give these gentlemen a
glad welcome and hope they may
come oftener.
Some of our people also visited
other communities, notably Miss
Emily Beall and Addie Bell who
spent a pleasant time among kins
folks at Rehoboth. They found your
valued, correspondent, "Subscriber",
Buffering from a broken rib. s Hope
he will soon be O. K. again.
The following delegates were
elected by the Parksville BaptiBt
Sunday school to the convention to
meet soon at Trenton: J; C., Mor

We,hope they may have a fine meet-'

Trenton News, Revival Services
Being Held, The Advertiser
Commended For its
Cora Prizes.
We' meantto write you last week
abo ut our 4th of July picnic at Lor
rick's pond but work was so pressing
that we neglected it. This little
gathering is an unusual affair. This
makes, if we,mistake not, the fourth
year we have celebrated this day
in a very quiet pleasant way. We
have no amusement except to come
together as friends, enjoy a friendly
chat and afine hash -dinner. W?
were sorry that The Advertiser was
not represented. We had _ quite, a
pleasant chat with our distinguished
' friend, Editor Bacon.
A protracted meeting service is
being held at the Baptist church
this week. The pastor is being as
sisted by Dr. E. E. Bo mar, bf Char
lotte, N. C. Dr. BomaT is a gifted
speaker. His sermons are full of
wise counsel and it is hoped that
his work here will be productive "'
of gr?at and lasting good. Do our
people appreciate the opportunity
of hearing such a powerful man of
God? What seems to be the drift
of man? Is it toward materialism,
the world, towards that which gives
pleasure for a season and then leaves
man weaker, or do we ever stop to
think^rjf the God given blessings we
enjoy every day and turn aside from
the busy rush in life to give the
Creator praise and thanks for what
he has done for us. Our children
are growing np to manhood and
womanhood. Are we using every
opportunity to give them the proper
training, not a hand and head
training merely bat a heart training,
the foundation for character.
The sad news of the death of
Mr. John Day reached us Sunday.
Crops are coming oat. Somercorn
is good in most places and good
seasons for , a fortnight will carry
the crop where it will be safe. We
heard a man say the other day that
the offering of the corn prizes by
the editor had been worth at least
$1,000.00 to the county. Mr. Editor,
that is speaking well for your work.
We wont aay anything much about
cotton. Some how or other it is sort
of an unknown quantity. We will
call it X at present.
We are" looking forward to the
convention next Week with much
pleasure.

he took the prescription he asked,
'How much?' "F-f-f-if-t>five cents,'

man only heard the ave' and gave a
nickel in payment. Vain were the
attempts of the pharmacist to make
the old man hear as he walked out
of the store, and as . he passed
through the door the pharmacist
said: 'Go to h-hell. I m-m made
four cents on y-y-you, anyway!"
