vm EDGEFIELD, S. C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18th, 1909. _ N?'29' VOL. 74. ,_- - -^===== i _:-"" CAPITAL OF WEST-SIDE. Death of Mrs. Sallie Beall. Rum Away Horse Injured Mrs. Henderson. Parksville's Sweet Siugers. Yesterday, Saturday, October 10th, Mrs. Sallie Beall, mother of our esteemed friend, Dr. Joshua Beall, a former citizen of Edgefield, now of Blythe, Ga., was laid to rest in the McCormick cemetery beside < her husband, Mr. Joseph Beali who preceded her by many years. Dr. Beall, Capt. Geo. Beall, Mrs. Lou Henderson and Mrs. Gus Tray lor, children of Mrs. Beall, with many grand- children, who now live . in Georgia, attended the funeral. Six grand-sons acted as pallbearers, as follows: Messrs. J .R. and Ii. H., Beall, J. F. and C. C. Henderson A*. L. Traytor and J. L. Dye. The funeral was preached by Rev J. H. Carswell in the McCormick Baptist church, which Mrs. Hen derson helped to institute and dedi cate. After the funeral the most shock ing accident the writer ever witness ed,not to ba a fatal one, took place. A fiery young horse hitched at the brow of the hill overlooking the cern etery, broke loose jost as the con gregation was dismissed at the grave, ran down through the cem etery, toaiing hown and breaking up tombstones and monuments and finally tearing the buggy to pieces, and liberating herself at the foot of the hill. Running to the top of the hill to see if any occupant had been thrown from the buggy, we found that the horse had run over Mrs. Lou Henderson and she lay bleeding and unconscious upon the ground, ?her head pillowed upon her hus band's lap, who had tried to turn the horse. Immediately some one startled the audience by announcing - that Mrs. Henderson had been kill-, ed* and such shrieks and cries we never heard. However, Drs. Fuller ? and Bell were" quickly by her and au examination proved no broken pones;, andonly one cut in the left lera pie by a rock on the ground, with bruises and '.ontasionfll ;?*-ie was carried to-the Connor hotel* whe^ her wounds were dressed by GEO. STEVENS? President. Every Poll Buy an Incoiii lated amount ea< the physicians. What made tli? mat ter doubly sad Mrs.Henderson is just recovering: from a paralytic stroke of a year ago. At four o'clock, j twohours after the accident.she was I resting well and her physicians feel that if she has no. recurrence of the paralytic stroke she will recover. . It looked at one time, that, as we had laid tho mother to rest, we would have also to lay the afr! icted daughter by her side. Prof. Cuttino Mellichamp, The Advertiser's representative, met with our local W. O. W. Camp last Tuesday night, and not only, ma de us a gocd speech, but took the Morning degree. So well pleas ed were our Woodmen with his speech that he was invited to meet j with us in regular session Tuesday night week and deliver an address' at which time it was decided to have] an oyster supper.

Mi; Life li REHOBOTH NEWS. Yield of Cotton and Corn Larger ? Than Was Expected. Prizes Stimulate thc Sowing of Wheat and Oats. The weather looks threatening this, Monday miming, but why should we complain aftpr two weeks of beantifnl sunshine, and as the old adage says, farmers have been busy making hay while the sun was shining. Cotton is opening fast and labor bas been sufficient to keep ,up with it Very little is being held for high er prices, as present prices are con sidered fairly good. We consider our crop about two-thirds gathered and most every fanner will make more than was expected sometime ago. The yield of corn also is much 'larger than last year. We observe many.fine hogs to be fattened for pork this fall. Why should not our farmers wear broad smiles and feel happy for the many blessings of God during the past year?. A large crop of grain will be sown, possibly more wheat than for a num ber of years. A liberal amount bf fertilizer will bo used,- especial ly on "pet" acres stimulatedr;jargely by the liberal prizes offered by The Advertiser. Our pastor, Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, preached a splendid sermon to a large and attentive congregation last Sunday morning, using as the basis of his remarks, Matthew, twenty second chapter and twelfth verse. He emphasized that a clean heart and pure life was necessary before we could be ernest of our Lord and King. After the sermon the church was called into conference and Mrs. R. M.

Central Committee of Judges In planning the corn contest the awarding of prizes has been taken entirely ont of the hands of the growers of the corn and the editor of The Advertiser. Committees judges were appointed for each neighborhood to measure the land and see the corn gathered and weigh ed. These committees have been instructed to file their reports with a central committee composed Judge W. F. Roath, Judge J. D. Al len and Clerk of Court W. B. Cog burn. This central committee-will carefully examine the reports made by the several committees over the county, reporting to The Advertiser who made the largest and second largest yield of2 corn The first and second prizes will then be presented to the two farmers named by this central com mittee. The editor of The Advertiser has done his utmost to have this contest conducted fairly from the beginning and for fear that some one would say we awarded the prizes to some favorites or special friends, we deci ded to have the central committee three men of unimpeachable intet rity, make th? awards. We under stand that the official reports are al ready coming in ami in due season the final result will be announced As soon as the committees hav their reports completed they are r chested to mail them to Judge W F. Roath, Edgefield. S. 0. Union Meeting Program. The Union Meeting of the tbir division of the Edgefield Association will "convene with Modoc Baptist Church Oct. 30th and 31st, 10:00 a. ra.
