EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER Established 1835. j. ii.4Minis - . . - EDITOR TERMS: ONE YEAR ..... $L50 SIX MONTHS' .75 WEDNESDAY JUNE 89th, 1910. , r ?UllHIBIlIIMIIIIBiraillliailllBBIIIMBI 5 The kindest and the happiest ? m pair will Had occasion to for . bear; and something every ? day they live, to pity and - perhaps forgive.-COWPER.. ? MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMISIIIIMBIIMIIIH* The Georgia legislators are having a hot time of it. Edgefield's campaign is the tamest ever. May it continue so till the last ballot is counted on the 30th of August. Edgefield's candidates are staying close at home these sultry days, lest they be invited to wield the hoe in some voter's grassy field. The Smith-Brown campaign of Geor gia promises to be a warm one. Won der how or where Tom Watson will figure in it? Mark our prediction, he'll get in it or break abrace. . , Hasten the day when an Edgefield farmer, unless his farms be visited by some unusual disaster, ivill be ashamed to be seen hauling a s&ck of western corn from town ! The man who wrote the dispatch from Memphis that inspired the head lines, "Cotton Crop is Promising," in ' some of the dailies inday, evidently had not traveled >ver portons of Edgefield county. many of the^ountiesa good roads is ?being waged. Why not festion of road improvement issues in the campaign in this county?. It is a matter in which every taxpayer ?mould be interested. The military inquiry into the Boyd Brock controversy cost the state $1,005, and was worth about thirty cents.-Newberry Observer. The investigation will c?.use the of fice to be filled with new men, which alone is worth, the cost. The farmer is at last on top arid he can stay there if he will only keep his wits about him and "sit steady in the boat." Every other fellow has to come to him to fill his "dinner pail." Think of what an advantage this is to the farmer! The first bale of cotton of the crop of 1910 was reported from Houston, Texas, last Thursday. So far as our information goes, not a bloom, has yet been seen in Edgefield county. But just give oar farmers another month of favorable weather and they'll show you a thing or two. That a new trial has been refused W. T. Jones, the wealthy wife mur derer of Union, is very gratifying to that portion of South Carofina's citi zenship which stands for law enforce ment. In our opinion too much con sideration has been shown Jones al ready. Had he been ? negro or poor white man he would have been wear ing prisoner's garb months ago, or probably would have been hanged in stead. ' All down through the years, practi cally ever since the Civil war, where ver farmers congregated the leading topic of conversation, especially when dis cussing* the crops, would be cotton. But The Advertiser's corn contests have wrought a change in Edgefield county during the last two years, the foremost topic now being corn. A drive through Edgefield county will convince even the casual observer that farmers are mak ing corn as well as talking corn. Sumter is folioing the lead of Green ville and Columbia in the matter of erecting permanent aud creditable quarters for the local Y. M.- C. A. It is an encouraging sign to see the bu siness men of cities and towns looking to the moral welfare of the young m?n. After all, the hope of any community is not alone in its spindles, looms, public utilities, bank deposits, etc., but rather in the development of its young m enalong moral lines. Theboys andyoung men of a city are its most valuable as set and they should be safeguarded as such. Fight the Meat Trust. Because of alleged \iolation of the anti-trust law, legal proceedings have been instituted against the leading meat packers by some states in order to drive them from beyond their borders. This is well and good, aj far as it goes, but the most effective way for farmers, which class constitutes a vast ma jority of the population of almost ev?ry state, to fight the meat trust is to raise their meat and lard at home. Every farmer should own one or more brood sows. But first and foremost, suffi cient corn must be made to feed the hogs. The most effective way to fight the meat trust is for ' every consumer who can possibly do so to raise all of the bacon, hams and lard that he con sumes. f Favorite of The People. The candidates for state offices have now been upon the hustings for a week, and judging from the daily re ports of the meetings, which we believe are entirely fair and impartial, Hon. C. C? Featherstone is the leading can didate for governor, the favorite of the people. This is as it should be. With six-sevenths of the state dry, the time has arrived for South karolina to have a prohibition governor. This being true, who should be chosen? One who has all along been a zealous and active prohibitionist, aiding very ma terially in bringing about the present conditions, or some on? who has only comparatively recently espoused the prohibition cause? Certainly ^the one who was among the pioneers and who has made many personal sacrifices in order to create prohibition sentiment and popularize the movement, should be chosen. \ That the Hon. C. C. Featherstone has first claim upon the prohibitionists of South Carolina can , not be ques tioned. The Last Call. Line upon line, here r. little and there a little, The Advertiser hits, du ring the past two years, urged upon the farmers of Edgefield county the necessity of producing at home all of the corn needed on the farm. In order to encourage and stimulate them to in creased activity along this line, we in augurated the contest last year and have repeated it this year. While we are greatly pleased that hundreds of farmers have responded to our appeals, there are some who have not ye t fully awakened to the urgent necessity of making enough com on' the farm to supply the. farm. Those who belong to this class are yet completely engross ed with cotton, and hope in some way to be able to buy enough western corn to meet their needs. It is to this lat ter class that The Advertiser makes a final appeal. . As long ?S you grow cotton to make money with which to buy western corn, meal, lard and bacon you can never be an independent farmer. In tho? first place, purchasing anything that can be cheaply grown upon the farm is un wise from a business standpoint, in the second place, considering the in creased cost of making cotton and the corresponding increase in price of wes tern corn, it is no longer possible to buy corn with money made from cot ton. The farmer who continues such a policy under present conditions before many^years pass will b? forced to place a- mortgage on his farm, and later, un less a change is made, somebody else will own the farm. Closely connected with.supplyingthe farm with home-grown corn is the question of raising meat and lard at home. The present price of the?e eve ry-day-necessities is almost prohibitive, and yet there is no reason to hope for any decline*. The indications are that lard and bacon will go still higher, but the farmer will find it impossible to supply his pantry with home-raised bacon and lard unless he first supplies his crib with corn. Who would be so foolish as to try to raise hogs and fat ten them on bought corn? Now, finally, the appeal: Though lat-, it is not yet too late to plant corn, If you are in doubt about your yield this fall being sufficient to supply your needs, plant more corn at once-NOW. Should it not fully mature, it will fat ten hogs. Hill-Mobley. The hospitable country home of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hill will be the scene of a beautiful wedding , this evening. At 8:30 o'clock their daughter, Miss Elizabeth Hill will ? wed Mr. John G. Mobley, of John- [ 3ton. The ceremony will be per- , formed by Rev. L. D. Gillespie. ? Both of these young people are , largely and prominently connected, ; and have a large circle of friends , who will extend to them heartiest , and sincerest congratulations. As they are to make their future home at Johnston, our sister town owes Edgefield a very large debt-one ? that she can never repay-for < Edgefield has from this one family ? reluctantly given Johnston two fair ? daughters. . . "No, "Willie dear," said mamma, "no more cakes tonight. Don't 1 you know you cannot sleep on a ' full stomach?" "Well," replied j Willie, "I can sleep on my back." . IOWA MAN Wt RESPECTFi J For more than twenty years Geo. f lyde has been a resident of Maquo- a :eta, Iowa, where he enjoys tho n espect of the entire community, a ?Vhen a man of Mr. Hyde's stand- j< ng makes a statement, it is worthy t< >f careful consideration. In a recent ommunjcation he says: t< "After years of suffering from (j Bell-Parks*. The Advertiser extends congratu lations and affectionate greetings in advance to Miss Addie Bell and Mr. James Parks, two young friends who reside ?at Parksville, who are to be married this evening at 8:30 o'clock at th? home of the former's parents, Dr. and Mrs. D. A. J. Bell. Miss Bell is a graduate of Winthrop and bas spent several years in teaching. She represents the highest type of Southern womanhood, pos sessing many beautiful qualities of mind and heart, together with man> personal charms. Mr. Parks is a son of Hon. and Mrs. W. R. Parks. He is a graduate of Clemson, and for several years after graduating was engaged in civil engineering in South America. Mr. Parks is a sober, steady young man of sterling qualities-in short, a model young man. These two young people embark upon the matrimonial sea under the most favorable auspices. Notice.

The town council has almost completed the erection of the tower and tank over the public well, which will be a decided ornament to the town after the finishing touches shall have been put on. When work on the tower is finished attention will be^turned to the installation of the ram on Beaver Dam, and unless something untoward happens the town will soon have ample water for sprinkling streets and "outein" the fire. Secured Rights of Way. Mr. J. P. Charles, the secretary ? of the Greenville, Greenwood and Augusta railroad, has returned to Greenville, being greatly pleased over the manner he was rec?ived in the main by the people along the route of the proposed road. He, se cured all of the rights of way be tween Meeting Street and Edgefield, and with possibly two or three ex ceptions will have no trouble in se curing the rights south of Edgefield. 3o far as we have been able to de termine, the promoters of the road ?rill receive the hearty and almost inamiraouB support of the people )f Edgefield, town and county. A boy went to a church picnic and, being a favorite with the la lies, was liberally supplied with ?ood things to eat. Later he was seen sitting alone by a stream with a woe-begone expression and his bands folded over his stomach. '"What's the matter, Willie?" one kindly asked. "Haven't you had snough to eat?" "O, yes'm," said the boy; "I've had enough. I feel as though I don't want all I've got." 1RTHY OF UL HEARING hronic stomach trouble, and trying learly every known remedy, as well s treating with some of the best ?hysicians in the country, I found nyself a nervous wreck. My appe ite was gone, and the little I did at distressed me. I could not get a ound night's sleep, and arose in the norning feeling tired and worn out. ?ly failure to secure relief disconr-. ged me, and I began to feel that here was little hope of me ever gain enjoying good health. ' Some time ago, however, I oe ame interested in some newspaper rticles dealing with the ideas and ?eliefs of L T Cooper. His theory hat the stomach is responsible for he state of one's health, either good >r bad, impressed me as being ogical and induced me to give his Jew Discovery medicine a trial. Nie first bottle helped me wonder ally. I continued the treatment, nd improved rapidly. Four botths lade me well. I am sixty years of ge, and to-day feel younger and en >y better health tl?, an in the past in years." Cooper's New Discovery is a boon y stomach sufferers. We sell it. Penn & Holstein.) Carried to The Hospital. Early Monday morning; Mrs. Manly Timmons received a telephone message stating- that her sister, Miss Lallah Youngblood, waa critically ill, and she at once went up to Win terseat, accompanied by Dr. Tim mons. As it was necessary for Miss Youngblood to undergo an opera tion, Mrs. Timmons^^accompanied her to the hospital in Augusta Mon day afternoon, while Dr. Timmons returned to Edgefield. The opera tion was successful and the latest reports from Miss Youngblood are to the effect that she is doing yerv well: Died of Texas Fever. Mr. Walter L. Nicholson was in town Saturday and stated that his cows are dying of Texas fever, caused by cattle ticks. He lost seven last week and several others were sick at the time. The ticks have also attacked Mr. Nicholson's mules and horses. He wired Gov. Ansel Saturday afternoon to send state veterinarian before his loss be comes more serious.?During the past several years Mr. Nicholson has been giving especial attention to bis stock, with profitable results, but his recent loss has/been somewhat discouraging. New Road Machine. When the ^.uigtinty. maintained two road working forces several years ago two road machines were found necessary, but af ter the forces were consolidated only one ma chine was used. As the different parts of this machine would wear or break they would be replaced by taking parts of the idle machine, but the time has come when both road machines are .practically worn out and do unsatisfactory work. So Supervisor Moultrie very wisely purchased a new road machine re cently at a epst of'$300. It is false economy to attempt' to work public roads with worn Out machinery, just as it is unwise for a farmer to use worn out implements in culti vating his crop. The new machine has arrived and the manufacturers will send some one this week to make the proper adjustments and set it in operation. { Edgefield Garage. Attention is directed to the new advertisement of the Edgefield Gar age in this issue. Mr. Scott has withdrawn and the automobile busi ness is conducted now by Messrs. Strom and TidwelP. While they raake a specialty, of the Maxwell car, the proprietors of the Edge- ; field Garage can furnish any car that is made, guaranteeing the price to be as low as the .same machine , is sold for anywhere else. The Max well car has proven to be all that is . claimed for it, being splendidly adapted to the Edgefield roads. If vou contemplate purchasing a run about or touring car consult Messrs. Strom and Tidwell. They can make vou a close price on any car made /'O, my friends,"' exclaimed the orator "it makes me sad when I ihink of the days that are gone, ivhen I look around and ?miss the < jld, familiar faces I used to shake I iiands with." ?
