, A strong, indication that fourteen
cents cotton has put ready cash in
somebody's pocket is found in the

Heretofore, the demand for stock
did not open till after Christmas,
and then a large per cent were,sold
on credit.
Mr. B. J. Day is one of the most

borse Deere turn plow, a stalk cut
ter and a neavy disk harrow. Mr.
Day made 76 bales of cotton on S$\

praise Jo f the Sextette from the Ha

is spending a short time in Aiken,
has been induced to come to Edge
field to deliver a lecture on the Arc
tic regions. Mr. Entriken has been
on three polar expeditions, having
! accompanied Cook and Peary both
A very strong indorsement of bis

as a lecturer is found in the fact
that some years ago he was chosen
by the government as one of the par
ty of eight who composed the Peary
relief expedition. Mr. Entriken
will lecture in the opera house Fri
day night, beginning at 7:30 o'clock.

amination for teachers Friday last

two white teachers, Miss Janie
Rosenswike, of Cleora, and Mr. F.
A. Wise, who has been teaching

ed applicant. '
County's Roads Good.
Supervisor R. J. Moultrie and
his co-workers, the members of the
board of commissioners, Mr. J. N.
Griftis and Mr. J. O.. Herrin, can
not be commended too highly for^
the excellent condition of the public
roads of the county. Not? ithstand
ing the fact that it is now the* mid
dle of January, tne roads in the
main are in better condition than
they were in midsummer some years
ago. 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 i'.raggsd to the centre,
which keepi high and dry the beat

Statement. Fr om Cemetery As
sociation.
The annual dues of members of.
the C. numery Association will be
called 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
erous! y. Shall our cemetery be kept
in neat condition, and thus a proper
respect be shown thc memory of
our dead? Your response to this ap
peal will answer the question.

Universally Complimented.
Edgefield is very proud of Joe
Holland's achievements in the ath
letic field. 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 fin? 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 <-ecuring his ser
vices. He has signed up with Roa
noke for another season, which will
open about the middle of April. 1

I want to begin the new year in
business by thanking my friends
and customers for the success which
I have had during . the year -just |
closed.
In both the watchwork and Op
tical branches of my business, I am
very much gratified to have seen a
steady and substancial improve
ment, which goes to show that the
efforts which I have made during
the past year 1909 to continually
raise the standard of my business
wherever possible, has not been
overlooked by my patrons.
And now for 1910, with better
appliances, better equippment, bet
ter methods and new ideas, and with
a double soled stock of determina
tion to still raise the standard, if
possible. I beg a continuance ?/f|
the patronage whicn the public has
kindly given me.
