Work That. Was Due the Town.
As some people have been criti
cising Supervisor Moultrie for hav
ing the convicts at work on the
streets of Edgefield last week he
has requested The Advertiser to
state why this work was done. Dur
ing the past two years, the town
council has been sending convicts
to the county chain gang with the
understanding that at some future
time the same amount of work was
to be given the town. Through this
plan of sending town convicts to
the county roads the county owed
the town 11)0 days work, and it was
this that.Mr. Moultrie was paying
back. The county received the
benefit of the town convicts more
than a year ago, and the to vn has
been waiting patiently foris return.
The supervisor only gave the town
exactly what he owed, counting the
service of mules and machinery as
well as that of the convicts. The
town, fed the mules and convicts
while they were engaged on the
streets. In this matter, Mr. Moul
trie has only done what every other
honest and fair mindeel official
would have done.
Has lVWed Studio.
Thc friends of Mr. Robert. H.
Mims will he pleased to learn thal
he will continue his work as pho
tographer. After duly considerin?
the matter, he has decided to mov<
his studio to his residence, where he
can not only give it closer attention,
but have the constant assistance of
his daughter, Miss Eliza31ims, who
is also richly endowed as an artist.
Persons desiring photographic
work done, will hereafter call at his
I residence instead of the studio in
the Norris building.

nouncement of the annual spring
millinery opening of Messrs. Rives
Bros. on Friday and Saturday of ]

experienced milliner from Balti
more, is in charge of this depart
ment this season. 'The ladies of

ed to see the newest things in head
wear but are urged to bring hats

Kate Samuel, who spent some time
this.season iu New York studying)
the late styles, can transform them
into new creations. Those in oharge
of the Corner. Store's millinery an
nex will extend the ladies of Edge
field a very warra welcome.
The Hope of the South.
The only hope for the permanent
upbuilding of our Southern lands is
through good rotative farming and
the feeding of live stock. We can
not afford to keep on in the old
way of scratching the soil and drib
bling a little poor fertilizer while
the soil grows poorer and poorer.
We must restore the humus in an
economical and business-like way,
and we cannot afford to continue to
ignore cattle that are the most ef- j
fective means towards this humus
restoration. The Vlay is fast ap
proaching in the South when a man
who has farmed his land for years,
and still admits it is poor, will be j
looked upon as a poor-citizen, a man
who fails in his duty to God and his
country. We have gone fertilizer
crazy and need to make our farms
sanatoria for our recovery.--Releiirh
(N. C.) Progressive Farmer and
Gazette.

That hundreds upon hundreds of

instrument they sell is first-class, I
but when they say a thing is the
best there is none better.
They sell some of the finest pianos

not sell any of 'the real cheap j
or shoddy makes of pianos or vr
gans.-Adv.
