With overflowing corn cribs this fall, tile people of this county will not be . in such a bad plight even if the cotton houses are not as full as usual. Now that the candidates have com menced to stir, the Wise old rooster will betake himself in the weeds or woods and remain till after the pri mary. ' ?

Mormon Missiona ries have been expelled from Germany on the ground that their teachings were "subversive of morality. " Would that the Constitutum of the United .States made it possible for these enemies of j society to be driven from this country. The Germans are right. Not. every thing that poses in the guise of religion, is real religion. No town is worthy of a newspaper if the editor finds the success of his pa per dependent upon the good will of the lawless, ignorant element of the com munity. What such a \own needs is a | stockade.-Fort Mill Times. In the management, of a newspaper, an editor should net give a thought to either the good will oz ill will pf the people; but -conduct it upon a high, honorable, independent, plane. Above all, let it not be the servile 'tool of any individual^ set of . individuals. Like ?e minister, a newspaper man who! .V>- N endeavors to please, everybody finally pleases nobody, and in time his paper will lose the confidence and respect of ? all of the people. Captain O. P. Bright. .Editor The Advertiser: Capt. 0. ?vT. Bright has been the conductor on the Edgefield-Aiken train 'for a number of years; and, as such, he has given universal satisfaction to the patrons of the Southern Rail way. The people here hoped that he had become a fixture. He liked his run and not long since purchased a nice Lome near the station and set tled down as one of us. Report says that under a rule adopted by the conductors themselves that another man is claiming his run and will oust him unless the people can help /him retain the run. It seems that one conductor who has seniority over another in the matter of ser vice can claim the run of his junior and get it. The railroad company has nothing to do with that ar rangement. Under that rule another man is claiming Capt. Bright's run and under that rule, he can get it. The people of Edgefield are very much exercised over the matter and desire that. Capt. Bright should hold his, position )vithout in any form having any thing against the con ductor who is likely tok succeed him. They just simply desire to retain Capt. Bright because he has mad? a good, accommodating and polite conductor, hjis purchased property here and has become a citizen of the town and is closely identified with society and the best interests of the town. It is hoped that yet his senior will allow him to remain and claim his rights. Citizen. Mr. Cobb's River-bottom Corn. . The fine corn is not all to be /found in the rural districts. Some exceedingly fine a?res can be seen within the borders of the towns.Mr. J. M. Cobb- who resides in south Edgefield has a three-acre field of corn that any farmer in the county would be very proud of. It was the writer's privilege to inspect Mr. Cobb's corn several days ago, and it is indeed an inspiring sight The stalks are large, tall, stately, and seem to defy the winds. Many? stalks have two large, well develop ed eara and some have as many as j three. The one thing that impressed us most .about this beautiful riv er-bottom, corn was the exceedingly heavy ears. Such ears as Mr. Cobb's fills a crib rapidly,, and they are the kjnd that fatten a horse efuickest.

Barbecue For Campaign Meet ing. Masonic Revival, Col. Talbert's Barbecue. Heard Watson. The Parksviile Baptists yesterday ia conference, reconsidered their former action, and changed the time for the beginning of their pro tracted meeting from 1st Sunday in August, to 5th Sunday night. Thc reason for this was, that they found that tlie political meeting, at which they had planned a barbecue, would come on the 11th, right in the mid die of the week, and it was deemed not to be a good idea to combine a revival with a political meeting The ladies also have ice cream and other luxuries for the benefit of the candidates, bless their good, amiable sweet, generous souls, as well as the general public and the time con sumed in making preparations, to entertain our friends, to say nothing of the loss of the day, would ma terially detract, from the meeting therefore it is well they made the change. The following were appointed delegates to the Sunday school con vention to meet this week at Red Hill: T.p. Talbert, John R. Black well, J. C. Mayson, D. A. Bell and D. A. J. Bell. Bro. J. M. Bussey, the Sunday school superintendent was appointed, to represent the church. A great revival in Masonry seems to be takiug place all over the coun ty, the craft meeting with favor and impressing its tenets upon the eligi ble all over the county. A regular communication of Parksviile lodge was held Saturday evening at which time the sublime degree of Master ?Mason was conferred upon Mr. Kim Holmes of Modoc. The lodge had as visitors from Concordia lodge, Edgefield, Mr. Erve 'Holmes and Hampton Smith. - Grant Brimson, who had his head split open by an affectionate? wife, and whom your headlines reported dead last week, is doing well. He lost more brains than most' people supposed that he had, but ii; is to be hoped that he has enough left to get along on.' Dr. T. E. Jennings, whom we re ported sick last week is no better. He has cancer of the esophagus and larynx and of course cannot get any bettei, which makes his case a sad one. His children, than whom none could be more devoted, are athis bedside with all the tender ministra tion that loving hearts eau prompt. God will abundantly bless them for their thoughtful kindness and ten der care. Col. W. J. Talbert had anice lit tle barbecue One day last week for his children and intimate friends. The cooking was superintended by Judge Blackwell, which means that it was well done. Messrss W. R. Parks," Robert Bussey, Claud Parks, Cleveland Stoner'and W. P. Parks went over Saturday to Thompson to hear Tom Watson; It seems, that our people have lost the art of getting up a political scrap, but they cari get up a good one just across the line in the Georgia tenth' districts. Tom Watson had the day, and many .think he put Tom Hardwick out of business on that occasion. Miss Martha Dorn has returned home from an extended .visit to her sister at Johnston to the delight of many friends. The ladies of Modoc gave an ice cream with appropriate exercises* Saturday afternoon. The exercises were in the hands of Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Na^stedt and others, which alone would insure succe-?s. Miss Inabinet of North, Orange burg county, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Capt. Redmond. Capt. Red mond's mother and sister from Co-| lumbia are also visiting him. Miss Janie Bell Jaro spent sever al days last week in the flourishing town of McCormick. Mrs. Virginia Stone leaves to morrow for a fortnight in the moun tains of North Carolina. The B. Y. B.

In my communication of last iveek, speaking of the. growth of this community, I had reached the/ point vh?rel was ready next to tell about our school affairs. The scat tered population, and a lack of unanimity among thc patrons, has for years made it almost impossi ble to have a school in this commu nity. Some winters there would be no school, and others, five or six pupils would go for three or four months, the daily attendance finally dwindling to two pupils. In the absence of a regular school, the Trustees divided the money for this end of the School District as fairly as.they could . between the patrons who sent their children to other schools. In 1905, however, the Board of Trustees met, and fixed on a defi nite plan for maintaining a perma nent school in our midst. The school house waa moved to a more suitable point, and a small school collected, of which Miss Magaret Smith became the efficient teacher, both for that year, and the year fol lowing. The next winter, some of the patrons moving away, our school hibernated again. Then, in 1906, more population com ing in, new interest revived in the school, and it became active again with Mrs. W. J. Gaines in charge. During that year there were ten pupils enrolled. This . past year, Mrs. Gaines was again our teacher, with a schdol roll of fifteen names. Still other children have come with in reach since the last school open ed, so that hy next winter it is prpbabletfhere will be twenty pu pils. If now we can get a new school house, m o ref centrally loca ted, our school bids fair to become ? good and permanent organization Our seat of learning is called the Glendale School so this might be called the Glendale community. As news items, I would state that our young neighbor, Mr. Herbert Boyce Satcher, AV h o is taking a course of study at Nashotah, Wis consin, has not returned this sum mer to his native glen, but has a de lightful position at Waldheim Pari;, onJLake Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, where he is enjoying the facilities for health, profit, and pleasure. Mr. Joseph A. Gaines has com pleted Iiis work for the Census Bu reau, in the eastern part of the State, and is now at home for a va cation. Mr. Beauregard Day is taking a health course at Hillman, Ga. With the owners of this noted resort, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Clotworthy, lie is in the best of hands. Mrs. E. C. McCarty, of Augusta, Ga., has been spending 'awhile with her friends, Mrs. T.- P. Salter, of Trenton, and Mrs. W. J. Gaines, of this community. Sudie Ny m. Excursion to Florida.

VERIEED STA F0UN1 A statement of more than usual interest has been made by P N Ro bles, living on rural route No. 3, Floreville, Texas, regarding his recovery from rheumatism, in which he says: "I suffered with rheumatism in both feet, and was so badly crippled that I was unable to perform any work for two months. I consulted two doctors, who failed to help me. One dav a friend handed me a book Dr. Gwaltney's Life ,One ?f Edgefield's Greatest 'Bless ' ings. Dr. L. R. Gwaltney was spared to bless the world for eighty years, lacking only a few months, and one fourth of his long life was spent in Edgerield, the dearest spot on earth to him. The first ten years of his labors in Edgefield, from 1858 to 1868, was in the prime of active, vigorous young manhood, and the other stay of ten years, a second blessing bestowed' upon Edgetield by a beneficent Pi ovidence, was in the evening of his life, our community reaping the benefit of his mature years and large experi ence. * 9 The Ed gen" eld of to-day, con trasted with the Edgefield of fifty years ago, as pictured by some of the oldest inhabitants, evidences a very marvelous transformation, and that the saintly Luther Rice Gwalt ney was the leading factor, both di rectly and indirectly, in bringing about this wonderful improvement of conditions can not be questioned. 1 He left his impress upon two dis tinct generations. After ten years of s eed sowing in Edgefield he was transferred to other fields of ser vice, remaining away thirty-odd years. When he 'again came to us another generation had come upon the scene and their lives were quick ened, their ideals raised by his' God ly valk and conversation. .It is not the writer's purpose to indulge in a lengthy eulogy of the beloved Dr. Gwaltney, for to do sd would be like "gilding refined gold, or painting the lily." His life spoke, yea, speaks now, for itself. Though he is with the saints in glory, he shall still live here in Edgefield. To generations that ?hall follow Dr. Gwaltney will be held up as a para gon of right living, an embodiment of Christian virtues and graces of character. Just as he was universally belov ed so shall his memory be universal ly cherished and revered in Edge tield. The high and low, the rich and the poor, the White and the colored, were all his friends and he was theirs. Like the Master, whose life he exemplified, Dr. Gwaltney's accustomed beneficent smile was justas true and sincere when be I stowed upon the .poor and unfortu nate when he greeted the high I and mighty. The one secret of his ! greatness was his goodness. Edgefield wilWemember him as a teacher as well as pastor. Many boys and girls, now men and women, in j Edgetield were inspired with new 'visions while they sat athis feet in. the day or secular school, lu that sphere of usefulness his aim was not alone to develop the minds but to shape the characters and lives of those who were committed to him. We thank God for the beautiful life of Dr. Gwaltney, and especial1 y are we profoundly grateful for the portion that blessed this communi ty. f Notice.

I was greatly inpressed with Cooper's theory that th i stomach is responsible for a ma jo i ty of ailments, rheumatism in cluded.
