Fourth Candidate for House.
A new card will oe found in our
candidates' column this week, that
of Dr. J. M. Rushton. His an
nouncement makes the legislative
race a four cornered race. Dr.
Rushton is one of Johnston's most
representative citizens and if chosen
by the people he will, represent
them in the House o : Representa
tives in a highly creditable manner.
He is a man of sterling qualiti es,
being esteemed highest by those
who know him best. Being born
and reared in this county, Dr. Rush
ton needs no further introduction at
our banda. In due season he will

Help These Ladies.
The Advertiser has bee? request
ed to announce that the ladies of
the missionary society or the Bap
tist church of Clark's Hill will give
an ice cream festival Saturday af
ternoon, July 16th, from four till
eight o'clock. We trust that the peo
ple of Clark's Hill and vicinity will
accord these ladies a generous pat
ronage. Now that the peach season
is on, every Clark's Hill purse is
overflowing, consequently the
Clark's Hillians cannot plead pover
ty as Edgefieldians do sometimes
Hammond Carmichael's Acre.
We haye seen only one prize
"patch" so far this year, that of Mr.
Hammond Carmichael, who is ?
member of the Boys' Corn Club
His acre is here in town on Beaver
Dam, and it has withstood the
floods remarkably well. The rows
are four feet apart and the corn is
from eight to ten inches in the
drill. As to its height, we would not
venture a statement. By the thc]
time the tassel is fully developed
some of ii will vie ,with the mill
stack. Water stood on a small por
tion of the acre which will curtail
the yield probably ten or fifteen
bushels. "Garrick's Prolific" is the
variety planted, and while it had
not commenced to "shoot" when we
saw it, we are confident that under
normal conditions it will be well
eared. Hammond's corn is very
fine but don't be discouraged boys,
you who are competing with him,
for "there's many a slip twixt the
field and the crib."
Has Government Position.
Mr. Joi?eph A. Gaines, who at
tended the University last winter,
has not returned home for a vaca
tion this summer, as have mont of
our people who attended college.
This is because he has an engage
ment as a special agent of th?
United States Census Bureau, in the
department of commerce and labor.
He is therefore busily engaged in
gathering industrial statistics m the
eastern counties of the state, and in
the mean time pocketing some com
forting checks on Uncle Sam's
treasury.

sey, of Bowman, Ga. P. H. Bussey,

ministry on 5th Sunday, afternoon.

Edgefield's Skilled Gardener.
The management of The News
and Courier recently learned of Mr.
R. G. Shannonhouse's skill as a
gardener, and urged him to write a
?eries 'of articles for publication.
The first of the series, an article a
column in length, appeared in Mon
day's issue of The News and Cour
ier. ' Others will follow at intervals,
one probably being published each
week. .The initial article was very
interesting and but for its length
we would reproduce it. However,
we shall from time to time, as space
permits, publish Mr. Shannonhouse's
articles. It is needless to, add that
The News and Courier will pay Mr.
Shannonhouse for these special ar
ticles,1 which are' easily worth the
price. We congratulate Mr. Shan
nonhouse upon making his garden
ing profitable in two ways.
Assist the Episcopal Ladies.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
have arranged to sell ice cream and
cake Friday afternoon of ibis week
from six till ten o'clock on the lawn
it the home of Mrs. Kate Mi ms on
Main street, next door to the pala
tial residence of Mr. and Mrs. B. B
Jones- The efforts of these good
ladies are highly commendable and
we trust that they will meet wNith
substantial encouragement from the
people of our town, irrespective of
church affiliation. They will dis
pense ice cream made of golden
Jersey cream and besides the old
fashioned pound cake of <rur grand
mothers, they will have chocolate
sake, silver cake, marble cake, and
layer cakes galore. The menu of
the Episcopal ladies will be all
right and the only thing needful,
that which the public can, ought to
md will supply, is the well filled
purses. These good ladies should
have large faith and make large
preparations, for we believe they
?viii have a large patronage. Who
(viii not buy ice cream a hot Jnly
Afternoon, especially when it is dis
pensed by pretty girls for a good
purpose? i
