Edgefield gave up these good peo ple, with great reluctance. ,3^ strong, indication that fourteen cents cotton has put ready cash in ^somebody's pocket is found in the fact that Messrs.

Supervisor Moultrie is having thorough work done a specimen be ing' the recently worked portion of the road between Edgefield and Johnston. The road has been wi dened in places by opening the old ditches on the sides and the dirt has been dragged to the centre, which keeps high and dry the beat en track made by vehicles. Statement .From Cemetery As sociation. The annual dues of members of. the 'C.ui'.'tery Association will be cal'ed for within the next few days. From this time on it will be neces sary to depend upon these for the most part to meet the expenses of the association. Heretofore, these have amounted to less than one hundred dollars. It will take twice that amount to maintain a keeper and meet other expenses. The com mittee must urge, therefore, that those interested in the cemetery contribute more generally and gen erously. Shall our cemetery be kept in neat condition, and thus a proper respect be shown the memory of our dead? Your response to this ap peal will answer the question. C. E. Burts, For Committee. IVotice. On the fifth d?y of' February .1910, the'undersigned will make a final settlement of the estate of Miss Bessie C. Johnson, deceased, in the office of Judge of Probate ,at Edgefield, South Carolina, and will at the same time apply for a final discharge from this trust as admin istrator with the' will annexed of said estate.

He is now recognized as one of the foremost base ball play ers of the south. Everywhere he has played, the press has been unstinted in its praises of his fine plays. The Roanoke Times recently published nearly a half column concerning Joe's record. It was in Roanoke that he made such a fine record last sum mer. About the middle of February Joe will go to Clemson to coach the team for two months. They are very fortunate in securing his ser vices. He has signed up with Roa noke for another season, which will open about the middle of April.
