Wonder how long he will remain one? Both Graves and Watson are very unstable in politics: While there seems to be a deficiency in the number of June brides, the "crop" of graduates from the various schools and colleges over the state is con siderabJy above the average. Wind storms are not the only storms they have in Georgia. As usual, the Hon. Tom Watson is raising ?. politi cal storm in several of the congres sional districts. His chief delight seems to be in working the people up to a white'heat.'r Mr. Watson's policy is "rafeor'ruin." The County Home, commonly known ...as. the "ppor house," has only fifteen in mates-nine _whit2 and six colored. From what we have been ?bl? to learn, this is the smallest number bf occu pants that the Home has contained at . any time since it was founded. The officials of the county fair - asso ciation are making all necessary prep arations* for the fair to be held the latter part of October. Let every farmer and housewife plan for a large number of exhibits. Th? officials in order to make a success of the fair must have the co-operation of the people. Bank Examiner Wilson is determined that South Carolina's splendid record for honest, conservative manangement of the banking institutions of the state shall be maintained. He had the presi dent of the Bank of Chapin arrested a few days ago because that official is alleged to have used, the bank's funds unlawfully. Mr. Wilson says it is his purpose to prosecute the case vigor ously. While it is true that farmers are now heels over head in work of all sorts, yet they should give due attention to sowing peas, which is conceded to be the foremost of southern leguminous crops. Those who were not fortunate enough to purchase their, seed, before the price advanced should buy them at the. prevailing high price. The hay tVni r.n',1 ito hnrvnntfyi rn-rt?? foll ??rn ward building a railroad, some mort gaging their homes in order to secure the amount subscribed. That is the spirit that builds towns and cities. Mark our prediction that Saluda will -soon have railroad connection with the outside world and is destined at no very remote day to be a town of large commercial importance. ; Very soon the promoters of the Greenville, Greenwood and Augusta Railroad will come to Edgefield looking for a location of the route from Green wood to Augusta. Let's give them our fullest co-operation to the end that the road be continued to Augusta, thus giving Edgefield additional railroad fa cilities. We have been "bottled up" long enough. The town can never hope to grow and develop as it should until we have a competing line built. Fur thermore, the proposed road will open up a splendid section of the county that also greatly needs a railroad. . .Russia's Unwarranted Cruelty. t Dispatches from Russia state that Jews are being driven out by the thou sands. Without any warning, they are made to leave their houses and pos sessions. After receiving such cruel treatment at the hands of Russian offi cials in the past, the wonder is that all J ews have not voluntarily withdrawn from Russian borders. Just as the United States stopped Spanish tyrany in Cuba, so ought the nations of the earth cause Russia to change her poli cy in dealing with the Jewish popula tion. Dispelling people without notice or warning, causing them to abandon or sacrifice their possessions, is altogether unwarranted on the part of any na tion. Anti .Whiskey Sentiment Strong. Whiskey advocates in some quarters would have people believe that prohi bition sentiment is on the wane in South Carolina. We have been a close observer of the trend of affairs and have seen no good reason for such a be lief. The "straws" point to a strong, wholesome public sentiment condemn ing the sale of liquor by the individual, county or state. One of the strongest evidences that the predominant senti ment in South Carolina is in favor of prohibition is found in the line-up of the candidates for governor and lieu- j tenant ^governor. The biggest and broadest plank in most of their plat forms is the anti-whiskey plank, which is a mighty safe acd sound one to stand ? ?pon-politically as' other wise. SHEPPARD-KENNERLY. Very Brilliant Home Wedding * m Edg?f re?d Tuesday Even -' ing. Easily one of the most brilliant social events that has occurred in Edgefield in many months was the marriage of Miss Ida Katherine Sheppard and Mr. James Boat wright Kennerly last evening, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ida F. Sheppard. The ceremony ?was performed by Dr. C. E. Burts. Rarely indeed'does one's eyes fall upon a more brilliant or more en chanting scene than that which greeted the guests as they crossed the threshold of this very hospitable home. The hall and parior, were moat artistically decorated for this nuptial occasion. The decorations consisted chiefly of green and white. Asparagus fern and Southern sraila- were graceful ly draped over doors, -windows, mantels and about the walls, form ing a beautiful background for the handsome gowns that adorned the ladies. The crowning feature of the decoration was the improvised arch of white . roses and ferns beneath which the troths were plighted. The ribbon bearers, sweet little Margaret May and Sheppard Miller, formed an aisle leading from the hall to the floral arch. % This, together with the sounding of Mendelssohn's wedding march by Miss Fannie Sheppard, an noun CPU that the suspense of the eager, expectant guests woiild now be broken. - The first to enter was the dame ol' honor, Mrs. William S. Cogburn, a sister of the bride. Next came the bride upon the arra of her youngest sister, Miss Josie Sheppard, the maid of honor. The groom entered upon the arm of his best man, Mr. B. T. Boatwright. The bride was never more beau tiful, nor appeared to better advan tage. Her gown was of rich white messaline satin with pearl trimming'} and the conventional veil, hanging so gracefully about her slender form, lent additional charms to the exquisitely beautiful toilette. The dame and maid of honor were both becomingly clad in white mulle with lace trimmings. The beautiful bonquet that was borne by the bride was composed of Bride's roses aud fern, whilo those of the dame and maid of honor was made of white sweet peas and ferns. After the usual congratulations and expressions of sincere good wishes so lavishly bestowed by kin dred and friends of theseliappy and widely beloved, young people.- A delightful salad course was served buffett style. . The ssweltering temperature of thi? typical June evening was offset by the delicious )tnd very refreshing fruit punch that was served by Mis aba-A?axcie Sheppard and Mazie from a flower-embanked cor the rear hall. This cazy cor roded to be an exceedingly ir rendezvous through out the evening. i only did the nuptials of these ' people, now Mr. and Mrs. ^"?rco B. Kennerly, call forth many tokens of love and esteem from friends of our town and vicinity but friends from all parts of the state sent tangible expressions of esteem. Two large tables were re quired for receiving the presents that consisted of cut glass, china, paintings, silver, cutlery, table lin en, etc. Conspicuous among the gifts was a handsome silver salad dish, the gift of Mr. Kennerly's employers. This of course was very highly prized by him. The bride is deservedly very popu lar, having renderecl herself so by her lovable traits and attractive per sonality; The groom was born and reared in Edgefield and is held in very high esteem because of his sterling qualities, being" a most ex emplary young man from every standpoint. For several years he has represented large shoe manu facturers of Chicago and has been signally successful as a traveling salesman. Both of these young peo ple are to be sincerely congratulated upon their good fortunes. The Fates have indeed dealt kindly and gen erously with them. A Dreadful Wound . from a knife, gun, t'n, rusty nail, fireworks, or of any other nature, demands prompt treatment with Bucklen's Arnica Salve to prevent blood poison or gangrene. It's the quickest, surest healei for all such wounds as also for burns, boils, sores, skin eruptions, excenia, chap ped hands, corns or piles. 25c at Penu & Holstein W E Lynch & Co.

There is not a sign of liver nor stomach trouble left, and I feel wonderfully strengthened and invigorated." All the vital organs, the blood and nervous system, the recupera tive forces, aro supported by the stomach, which is therefore the conservator of life and health. When the stomach has been abused, all sorts of disorders ensue, mala dies of most kinds being due to de rangement of its functions. Indiges tion and dyspepsia are the most common results. The liver becomes inactive, creating billiousness and worse; the bowels become consti pated, and their failure to oust the fecal matter poisons the entire sys tem.
