EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER Established 1835. J. Iv. ornw .... EDITOR TERMS: ONE YEAR.?1.50 SIX MONTHS - - - - .75 WEDNESDAY, JUNK lat, 1910. ? Most modern partisans go ? S lor what they regard the oev- 5 ? en cardinal principles, name- ? . ly, the five loaves and two . 5 fi she ?.-MANN. It is a reflection upon South Caroli na that Bigham and Avant are not brought to justice. Who is responsi ble for the failure to execute the sen tence of the court? So far as we are informed DO especial erTort has been made to bring these fugitives to jus tice. The overwhelming predominance of girls among the. graduating classes of the the graded schools of the state this year is only a matter of "history re peating itself." Sumter stands,alone, a notable exception to the rule. Of the graduates of the Sumter graded schools there are 23 boys and 14 girls. Major T. J. Lyon, commandant of the South Carolina Co-Educational In stitute, is being urged by a number of his friends to become a candidate for Adjutant and* Inspector General. Ma jor Lyon has had excellent military training, being a graduate of The Cita del, and would make a very efficient I officer. Mot a Candidate. Many very kinds friends-some by letter, others in person-have recently urged the editor of The Advertiser to b ecome a candidate for the House of Representatives, and while we greatly appreciate these manifestations of es teem and confidence, to all of them we haye said, "No." Although a lauda ble ambition in others, nothing would be more distasteful to the writer than a scramble for public office. We in finitely prefer to pass our days pursu ing the even tenor of our way in the private walks of Ufe. Therefore, let it bc known once for all that the editor of The Advertiser is not seeking, nor would he accept, legislative honors. Give Them Your Co-operation The outlook for additional railroad facilities tor Edgefield grows brighter. During the p?st twelve months sever al leading business men of Greenville, together with some northern capital ists, have been formulating plans for . the construction of an electric railroad from Greenville" down the Savamiv.h I valley to Greenwood. Several pros pecting visits have been made to Edge field, looking to a continuation of the road from Greenwood to Augusta by way of Edgefield. Several days ago Mr. A. E. Padgett received a letter from Mr. J. P. Charles, secretary of the Greenville, Greenwood and Augusta Railway Com pany, in which he said among other things: "Everything now looks en couraging for the construction of our road." Mr. Charles also stated that he will soon come to Edgefield to look after securing right of way for the road. When he comes, let our citizens, both of the town and country dis tricts, give him the fullest and heartiest co-operation. There seems to be no question about the fact that the proposed road will be constructed to Greenwood, and we believe that if the promoters meet with sufficient encouragement it will finally be continued to Augusta. PARKSVILLE UNION. Very Profitable Union in Third Division, Illness of Mrs. Sa rah Parks. The union meeting of the 3rd division of the Edgefield association convened at Parksville Saturday 28th inst, agreeable to appoint ment, and was a great meeting. Contrary to expectations, on ac count of the backwardness of thc farmers and good seasons in the ground, a fine congregation as sembled to participate in the dis cussions of the various subjects. The enrollment showed represen tatives from all the churches, whc gave good encouraging reports from their respective churches, a? they were enrolled. The first query, possibly, elicited the most interest, which read: "Can a~ person believi in the teachings of the new Testa ment and oppose foreign mission aries," Brethren H. E. Bunch, J C. Harv ley. and E. G. Morgan, Sr.. and T. H. Garrett all made strong and convincing addresses in favoi of missions. In fact, the concensus of opinion, among those who ex pressed themselves, seemed to be that in this enlightened age, all in telligent Christians, [who were ?L fact, as well as in name, believed ii foreign missionaries. Parksville it a missionary church in faith ano practice, but we were of courst glad to hear the discussion. Brethren P. H. Bussey, T.G. Talbert, . J. G. McKie and othen talked interestingly on our "Socia. hindrances," and "religion in the home" with an occasional gooc speech from our devoted pastors. Kevs. L. B. White and T. H. Gar rett. Sunday morning the exercises. were in the hands of Supt. J. M. Bussey, which were interesting, and at eleven o'clock a most interesting cospel sermon was preached by Rev. McDowell, of Ninety Six and the able representative of the Bap tist Courier. The collection taken after the sermon amounted to $13.50 and was given to state mis sions. Sunday afternoon was devoted to B. Y. P. U. work, and Mr. W. W. Fowler made an excellent speech on the subject: "ls the B. Y. P. U. worth while." He showed that with out the spiritual and devotional features, it was not, but with these allied with the great layman's move ments, it-waa doing1 and would ac complish a grand work. An excellent paper prepared by Mrs. L. B. White on the ' relation of the B. Y. P. ;U. to the church" was read by Miss Martha Dorn. The next paper: "Benefits to our j'oung people of B. Y. P. U. work" was prepared by Mrs. T. H. Garrett and read by Miss Addje Bell, and elicit ed much favorable comment. - TheB. Y. P. U. outlook was ably discussed by Brethren AV hite and McDowell, which closed possi bly the best and most interesting session of this division. The next meeting goes to Red Oak Grove in July and we go back to our work looking forward, to a great meeting. At night our B. V. P. U. held an interesting session at which time, Bro. McDowell gave us some good advice, the subject being "Our re lation to others." We are sorry to report the seri ous illness of Mrs. Sarah Parks, widow of the founder of Parksville who is in her 85th year. She is a sweet old lady, whom everybody loves and whom everybody calls "mudder," out of respect and def erence to her good, motherly qnull ities. She told" tin' writer she was simply awaiting thu summons, re signed to the will (d' the Lorri. We hope she may spared yet lo the loved ones. She is being . tenderly cared for in the home nf her de voted son, Mr. Joseph II. Parks, ol our town. Mrs. Sallie E. Strom, widow of Mr. Boat Strom, has been ?ju?te sick at tho home of her brother of our town. Weare glad to say she seems better, and we hope for ber speedy recovery. We noticed candidates Williams. Wells, Byrd, Mims, Cartledge and many visitors from Woodlawn, Meriwether, Clark's Hill, Modoc, Plum Branch, McCormick, Liberty Hill, Rehoboth, Red Hill, in fact we feel safe in saying, that we had the largett gathering on Sunday, ever assembled in religious gather ing in our town. Not more than half the people could get in the house, and the best of order prevailed. Rev. Mr. McDowell is having good luck in getting subscribers to day for the Baptist Courier. "Nearly every family renewing or subscrib ing for the paper. Our people are intelligent and know a good \hing when they see it. In fact a man1 who has religion, and is working at it, ought to keep posted. MORE ANON. R. F. D. Carriers Met. Pursuant,to the call of the presi dent, Mr. T. R. Denny, a small number of the rural mail carriers attended the meeting of the county association that was held in the court house Monday, May 30th. But for the fact that" farmers are very busy at this season, the attend ance would have been much longer. Mr. T. R. Denny and Mr. A. A. Glover were elected delegates to the state convention which meets in Newberry early in July. The asso ciation of this county will here after hold its annual meeting on May 30th, this being national Me morial Day all government employ ees, which includes all mail carri ers,have holidaj\ Beautiful iron and enameled beds just what you need.

Mr. Perkins was so pleased that he made a statement for general publication, saying; / "For a number of years I was an n val id from a combination of roubles. I suffered terribly from tonstipation and piles, and was so stiffened with rheumatism that I I JOHNSTON LETTER (Continued from page l) to its utmost capacity, anil the day was an ideal one. The stage was beautifully decorated and upon it sat the teachers and the pupils of the 10th and 11th grades, the min isters of the town and the;school trustees. Just before the services began, the school in a body marched in, each grade headed by the teach er, and it was most interesting to note the bright and animated faces of the boys and girls. Dr. Snyder, of Wofford colleg had been invited to be present, and his remarks were more oh the order of an address coming from a layman, as he-ex pressed it. His general theme was the development of the mind, ma terially, morally ana socially. DY. Snyder is a very* scholarly speaker, and was listened to by an apprecia tive audience. Following is the or der of service for the morning: Doxology. Invocation, Rev. P. B. Monroe. Song, Holy, Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. \ Scripture reading, Rev. B. H. Beckham. Anthem, Teach me thy way" Moire. Prayer, Rev. M. L. Lawson. Announcements. Offertory. Simple confession, Thorne. Anthem, "I was glad when they said." Address, Dr: Snyder. Song, "Spring has come." Benediction. On Sunday morning at the Bap tist parsonage, Miss Jessie Rhoden and Mr. Edgar Simmons were mar ried by thc Rev. M. L. Lawson. Judge De Yore, with his family, spent Sunday at the home of Mr. Albert Dozier. Miss Nina Ouzts, who is instruct or in mr sic at Rock Hill, arrived on Sunday, for thc- vacation. Misses Oidena Cartledge and Ella Smith aro at homo from Columbia college. Mrs. G. P. White and children arc herc on a visit to relatives. Mrs. B.

Farmers throughout the county have their hands so full that they scarcely know what todo first: Old corn needs plowing, wheat and oats are ripe, cotton is waiting to be put to a stand nnd plowed, pea sowing should begin, sweet potatoes should be set out, corn should be planted after grain, etc., etc. Other things could be mentioned but these are sufficient to keep farmers stirring from the dawn of day till the comet appears some time after the sun sets. Double the regular force upon the average farm could be given era-, ployment for the next ten days.

EEDED XPECTATIONS could not arise without assistance. I was also troubled with dizziness. My stomach was out of order, my appetite fickle, and was in a general ly -run down condiiion. "My wife and daughter having both used the Cooper remedies with beneficial results, I decided to try them. They proved helpful beyond all expectations. The New Discovery soon put my bowels into good con dition, and the piles disappeared. My appetite improved, and I began to relish my meals, having no diffi culty in digesting al! that I ate. The dizziness soon left mc and has not returned. "I used Cooper's Quick Relief Jimimentas an aid to the New Dis covery for _my rheumatism, which has not troubled nie now for a long time. The Cooper remedies worked wonders for nie." L. T. Cooper, whose medicine was used by Mr. Perkins, claims that stomach trouble is responsible for .nearly art illness, and that if the stomach is restored to normal and healthy activity, such diseases as rheumatism, kidney and liver troub les, etc., will quickly disappear. His preparations have certainly made a remarkable record. We are agents for them in this community. -(Penn & Holstein. BAPTIST ORPHANAGE (Continued from page l) care of itself, and its growth is eas ily accounted for, when it is remem bered that the fine Maxwell estate came to'us in 1903, the Smith es tate last year, that bequests have been frequent, that the liberality of the people to the Orphanage has been constantly growing. Some 'years ago the Greenwood church reached the $1,000 mark in annual gifts to the institution and others have been following nobly behind her. These things brierly explain our development, and as we stop to mark the assets and liabilities today we surely all must feel like exclaim ing: "What hath God wrought." The Trustees "In point of service the oldest member of the board of trustees is Mr. G. B. Buell. He was elected at the Charleston convention., in 1896, and has served continually since. In- 1900 he was selected president of the board and has served continously since. In a per iod of fourteen^ years the records show that he has been absent from only one board meeting. During twelve years he has not been ab sent once. "Col. Jos. N. Brown has served continously as a member of the board since 1897, having been elect ed at the Rock Hill convention that year. Col. W. Hunt was elected in 1899 at the Darlington convention, and has been regularly re-elected at every three-year period. "Five members of the board have served during my term of office without a break and some of them have not missed a meeting during this ten-year period. They are Messrs G. B. Buell, Jos. N. Brown, W. H. Hunt, J. K. Durs,- and Or lando Sheppard." Notice of Executive Ccmn.iti.es Meeting.
