Success to the County Fair! _- _ > Of the 121 members of the Ses sions Co nvention, only one, Col. R.' A. Thompson, of Walhalla, sur vives. Reduce your next year's cotton crop by sowing a larger acreage in wheat and oats. Nota single indi vidual who wit nessed last year's floral parade will fail to attend the County Fair Fri day-floral day. Wednesday of the Fair will be a great day, Thursday a greater day but Friday will be the greatest of them all. You may think flour is high now but before next harvest time many can not reach it on tip-toe. Better enter the wheat contest and supply your pantry with home-grown flour. Bring the children in to the I County Fair. Come Saturday, if you can not leave home before then. The supply of fun will not be ex hausted before Saturday. South Carolina seems to be over run with shows, circuses and car nivals this fall as never before, . which is an unmistakable indication that prosperity is abroad - in the land. , Thirteen may be looked upon by superstitious persons as- being an unlucky tiumber, but who ever , heard of a cotton seller objecting t to those two little figures when thej' represented the "top o' the market.'' In a recent advertisement exploit ing the merits of his merchandise, a certain distiller spoke of his "honest goods." Since the investi gation by the old dispensary com mission, not a few question whether there is any ''honest" product of the "still" on the market. Convention ol Physicians. There will be held a convention in Columbia this week that is of in-, t ernational importance. Physicians and specialists from all parts of the United States will come together to make a careful study of pellagra. The new disease has become alarm ingly prevalent. As there have been more cases in this state than in al most all of the other states com bined, South Carolinians seem to be easy victims. The reports from the pellagra convention will be read w ith great interest Highly Commended. ? The State copied Dr. D. A. J. Bell's article published in The Ad vertiser concerning the trial of Bill Broadwater and commented upon it editorily, commending Dr. Bell's fearless and uncompromising stand for law and order. The following is copied from the State's remarks: If there were one man in each township in South Carolina with the interest in public affairs, with the jealousy for his State's reputa tion, and with the moral courage to declare himself as- is evinced by Dr. P. A. J.? Bell, of Parksville, Eclgefield county, there would be a more wholesome public sentiment in South Carolina, fewer murders and more hangings." Real Friends in the South. x Northern persons who question the friendship and kindly feeling tha.t the southern white people bear for negroes should have witnessed a touching scene that occurred in a Georgia court room last week. A negro man was indicted for shoot ing a woman of his own race at a hot; supper and was found guilty of mtirder,with recommendation to the, mercy of the cdurt. The man had been a trusted and faithful sei vant foi many years, and a little white girl only seven years of age appealed o the presiding judge to "save arlie." Such ' manifestatiops ,of pdship are not infrequent in the $1.50 .75 Will be Bound Ha?cl and Foot. ! It is alleged, andi; generally ac cepted as true, that'^a majority of tte steck in the largo cotton' seed oil companies that practically con trol the price, of 6eed is owned by the fertilizer trust, and unless steps are taken to check these mills in their efforts to gobble up "or crush the small mills, farmers will. in a few years be bourid hand and foot' by the fertilizer, trust. * lt matters not what price is asked for- fertili zers farmers will have tp'pay it; on the other hand, if the price of cot ton *?eed is controlled by a trust farmers will have to tako what it offers, there being no competition to'regulateor-fix the price. . WoaldvFill a Volume. The good things that have been said, and 'hat one can still hear, about the lute Mr. L. F. Dorn would 611 a large volume. Indeed, we have never known any man who passed his entire life in the private walks, eschewing publicity in every form, whose death was so universally de plored or about whom so many kind and affectionate remarks were made. Whenever or wherever Mr. Dora's name is mentioned beauti ful tributes can be heard. And one thing is especially notieeable,that in nearly every eulogy one hears ?ome kind act, some special service, is referred to. His life was one of ser vice, a life worthy of emulation by every young man in the county. High Class Entertainment. The managers of the lyceum course are to be congratulated upon the splendid success of their first entertainment. The Scotch Singers were so strongly recommended that our people had their expectations very high but they were not in the least disappointed. The violin solos, readings and impersonations, vocal solos, duets and quartettes, were all of the highest order. The second lyceum attraction will be given in November and will measure up to the standard set by the Scotch Singers. Fair Exchange. A New Back For an Old One- - How it is Done in Edgefield. The back aches at times with a dull, indescribable feeling,1, making you. weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across tfie region bf the kidneys, and again the loins are so larne to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back in this condition. You cannot reach the cause. Exchange the bad back for a new and stronger one. Follow the example of this Edgefield citi zen: ? B Gray, barber, Main street, Edgefield S. C., says: "I am very willing that my name should be used as an endorser of Doan's kid ney pills as I know they are a valuable remedy. For years I was bothered by backache which be came quite severe at times. There was also a disorder of the kidneys which caused me additional annoy ance. A few weeks ago I learned about Doan's kidney pills and con cluding to give them a trial, I pro cured a supply at Peen & Holstein's drug store. A short time after I be gan using them, I felt much better and I am continuing to take them feeling sure that my trouble will soon be disposed of." For sale by all dealers. Price 50c.

Biccker Road In Mid-winter. Of air the yarns that-nerer came down the line regarding deep mud, the foii?77in? should' be ?ntitied to the blue ribbon. It happened in the place where mud originated: A man yras walking along the roadside one summer day and notic ed'afairly goodlooking bat out in the .road. Reaching out with his cane, he'gave it a cut and was startled to hear a voice exclaim: "Here! What the deuce are you doing?1'/ Then he made the astonishing dis covery that the owner of the head piece was under the hat up to bis ears in mud. "Great Heavens!" exclaimed the man who had hit the hat. "Is that mud as deep as that?" "Deep!" cried the victim. "Why, man alive, I am standing on a load of hay!'!

A. EDMUNDS. t The Marriage Question. n V A couple of guests at, the Spald- j in g were seated in the lobby of the hotel the other day engaged in ear nest conversations upon the oft-dis cussed question of marriage, says the Duluth Tribune. One of them put it this way: 0 "Before a man's married he's a dude; after marr?ige he's subdued. " Before marriage he has no buttons on his shirt at all. Before marriage he swears that he would not marry the best woman on earth; after marriage he finds that he hasn't." Thc other was not to be outdone He told this: "A young doctor friend of raine received a letter from a young wife recently saying: "Your medicine has helped* me wonderfully. Three weeks ago I could not spank the baby and now I am able to thrash my husband. God bless you. We solicit your prescription business.

Bishop Potter was knownx as quite a wit, and often took delight in turning his humor loose on his associates, but here is an instance where the joke, although quite un intentional, was on the bishop. He was to preach ata certain parish in the. "West in, the' evening, and the 3ongregation was not a little amused at the- somewhat ambiguous an nouncement of their worthy pastor, svho said: 'Remember our special service next Sunday afternoon.
