Farmers who in the past have.ta ken no active interest in the corn contest have -voluntarily told us that they expect to enter next year. ? ?When you speak of the Edgefield county fair to your friends empha size the word COUNTY. The of ficers of the association want it dis tinctly understood that it is a COUNTY fair. Attention i? directed to the ad vertisement of 'h& Georgia-Carolina Furniture Company, in which they extend their Ecgefield friends a cor dial invitation io make their store headquarters while attending the fair in Augusta next week. The writer spent a pleasant day at Stevens Creek Sunday attending the union meeting. Giving so much space .this week to publishing the premium list to make a lengthy no tice of the nnion is impossible. We have been informed that the union at Horns' creek was also exceedingly pleasant and profitable. Mr. L. E Cogburn, a former graduate of the S. C.?). I. spent Thursday in Ecgefield with friends. He expects to leave for the far weBt in a short time to make his home. Attend the flower show at Tren ton Friday. It will be an. exceed ingly pleasant occasion socially. Turkey dinner will be served to raise funds to improve the cemete ry. - These good ladies. deserve a large .patronage. Mr. and Mrs, Robt. T. Strom passed through Edgefield Tuesday. Mrs. Strom has gone to visit her daughter, Mrs. Luther Fields, of Lamar. Mr. Strom accompanied her as far as Columbia, and will take in the state fair. J. T. McManns, Jr., will receive $5 for one ear of corn; Jamie Mil ler will receive $5 for ten stalks of corn and Bennie Haston $10 for ten ears of corn. Not to speak of the other prizes, should not these awards alone induce a greater num ber of boys to join the corn club next year. Mr. B. Timmons has arranged . with A. K. Hawkes Co., manufac turers of the celebrated Hawkes glasses, to have one of their repre sentatives at his store to-day and to morrow for the purpose of fitting spectacles or eye glasses. He in vites all who need glasses to call and have this specialist fit their eyes. Miss Pauline" Byrd has been en gaged to teach the Limestone school again this session, which makes the fourtli consecutive years she hag been employed by the patrons oi this school. This is a record oi which any teacher should be proud, We congratulate both the patrons and their painstaking, efficient y cnn g teacher. A lady left? a child's sweater it the W. C. T. U. rest room at thc fair, and when she went for ii (hrough mistake she picked one o: ttl er size that belonged to an [son. \The one she left wai eight or nine years ol jrson who has it wil kat The Advertise; It was our good fortune to eat some of Mr. T. P. Salter's horne grown pecans that won first prize ! at the fair. They we're very large. and finely flavored. Mr. Salter has twenty trees that bore this year. Implement Display Made Profi-1 table. It pays to be alert and enterpris ing in business. Messrs. Stewart & ! Kernaghan had a/ very creditable | exhibit of fence wire, turn plows, disc plows, harrows, gasoline en gines, feed mills, etc., at the county fair, and were repaid for their troub j le by selling a mile of fence wire, two engines and two feed mills. I They have also several prospective buyers of engines and mills - on the string" who will purchase later.. In this day and time a merchant must get squarely behind his_ business and push it if he expects to succeed. [Every opportunity for advertising] j and enlarging must be seized and j improved. Distinct Loss to Edgefield. Mr. Richard A. Mc-Creary left 'Monday for Augusta to accept,a position with J. ?. Davenport & Co., wholesale druggists. Mr. Mc Creary is a most exemplary young man who numbers his friends in Edgefield by the hundreds. His departure was a distinct loss to Edgefield. We trust that he will j receive in his new ?eld the rapid promotion that he deserves. Death of Sweet Little Twins. The profound sympathy bf our] I entire community goes out to Mr. 'and Mrs. S. A. Brandon in their great grief caused by the death of ! their little sons, twins, who were I about two months of age. One was taken Sunday morning and the oth er late Tuesday afternoon. The grief-stricken parents have the as s iran ce that their dear little ones! are with Jesus and will be spared the trials and crosses of earth. Both of the little darlings were enterred in our village cemetery. I Two Progressive Rural Schools. All honor to the fair young teach' j era of the Lott and Red Hill schools for their enterprise and thoughtful public spirit! The Ad vertiser doffs its hat and bows very j low to them. A conspicuous and very pleasing feature of the parade I at the county fair Friday afternoon were the decorated wagons loaded with pupils from these schools. The Lott school, which is taught | by Miss Maggie Reel, was very at tractively decorated with the na tional colors. It was occupied by the fair teacher and fifteen or twen ty pupils. As these bright and hap py pupils peered out from beneath ! the beautiful canopy top it presented a very pleasing picture, one that provoked much favorable com ment. Another strikingly beautiful wag on was that of the Red Hill school, the "color scheme" being deep red so as to reflect or suggest the name of the school. Not only were the wheels and body of the wagon en tirely covered with rj.d, but the mules wore large red blankets bearing the name of the school in white letters. Misses Louise Lyon, Miss Mabel Strom and a large nurn- j ber of pupils fwere in the wagon, many of the pupils carrying ban-1 ners containing the letters R. H. S.- Red Hill school. These two attractively decorated j wagons added much to thepa I rade, and the three fair young teach ers, together with the citizens, pa]J tro ns and trustees who assisted them, have the thanks of the fair as sociation for the part they took in making Educational Day a suc cess. The Lott and Red Hill schools have seta good example to other ru ral schools, and it is hoped that a dozen or more schools will come in decorated wagons next year. It should be borne in mind that both of the above schoob are located twelve miles from the county seat. [ All Reports Not Ye? Received. We find upon checking up the list that one report has not been I sent in for The Advertisers cora 1 contest. As soon as it has been re ceived the central committee, oon Fsisting of Jndge W. F. Roath, j Judge J. D. Allen and &Mr. J. M. Cobo, will go carefully over all of the reports and announce the win ners of the prizes. The award is not made by the editor of The Ad vertiser. He only presents the gold coins to the two persons reported by the central committee to have made 'the highest and' second highest yields. It was our purpose origi lally to have a public presentation of the prizes at the oounty fair last week, but the delay in sending in all reports made that impossible. However, it *ill be only a few days before the suspense is broken. Stands at the Top. Mr. W. T. Walton is easily thc leading farmer in the county-no1 the largest, but first from the stand point of results. He harvested 35"J bushels of corn tIiis year from three and a half acres, which ia an aver age of more than 100 "bushels pei acre. Mr. Walton planted 22 acres of cotton in his wages crop and .wi! make 29 bales. " That is c?rtainlj intensive farming,-the only kine that pays under latter day condi tiona. WilHams-Zimmerman. Special to The State. Greenville, Oct. 28.-The . chief social event of the week was the marriage Tuesday afternoon in the First Presbyterian church of Miss Martha Williams and Samuel Zim merman, the ceremony being per formed by Rev. T. W. Sloan. The church was beautifully decorated in white and green, the I scheme being worked out in palms and cannas. The bride, gowned in white satin and' lace, entered with her brother, Robert Williams. Miss Bessie Williams was maid of honor and Thomas Marchant of Union was best man. Miss Wilton Earle was -bridesmaid and little Miss Elizabeth Johnson, niece of the bride, was flower girl. The ushers were: Luther Mar chant, Alex Mc li?e, Jr., Richard Riley, Frank Henrjr, Hamlin Be attie and Edward Haynsworth of Sumter. Immediately following the cere mony Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman left on the afternoon train for New York on a wedding trip, returning in about 10 days toEdgelield, where they will make their home. Revival Services Begin at Bap ist Church November 9th. Dr. H. M. Wharton is expected to reach Edge?eld on November 9th to begin the special services. The hours for services will proba bly be 3:80 and 7:45 p. m. A leader of the music, Mr. P. W. Biisb,is ex pected to arrive by Sunday, Novem ber 6th. .There will be a song and prayer service each afternoon of next week. It is sincerely hoped that the people of the town and surrounding country will attend and co-operate in this meeting. Dr. Wharton ia at present in a meeting in Martinburg, W. Va. The last is sue of the Martinburg Journal con tained a lengthy notice of his meet ing, the following being a portion of that notice: "l?pv. W. D. McCurdy, pastor of the First Baptist church, announces that in order to accommodate jibe increasing crowds that are coming to hear Dr. H. M. Wharton he has engaged the opera house for Sunday night, October 30th. Al ready the capacity of the Baptist church is being taxed ny the throngs who are eager to hear this celebrat ed evangelist." Have Voluntarily Pledged Sup port. If the fair can be made such a pronounced success with the assist ance and co-operation of only a few farmers, think of what next year's fair will be when a large number of farmers will put theirshoulders to the wheel, as we believe they >vii! do. Quite a number in different sections have already voluntarily pledged their support and co-opera tion. What is needed is a live, ag gressive leader in every communi ty. Will you not take the lead in working for the fair in .your com munity? Do not wait for somebody else. It may not be done. The Competitive Drills. . The S. C. C. I. cadets held com petitive drills in the arena Thurs day and Friday of the (air. Both of these contests proved to be very exciting, the cadets giving evidence of thorough training in the manual of arms. On Thursday Cadet Smith of Ehrhardt was declared the win ner, and Cadet Landram of Smith land,. Ky.j carno out victorious on Frida'y, cash prizes being awarded to both young soldiers. The usual crowd upon the streets was highly entertained by one of the policemen at noon last Satur day as'he emptied 400 half pints and several quarts* of contraband "licker" that was seized about a mom h ago. The unusual sight at tracted a large crowd. Just be fore the last drink escaped, several bottles were tossed in the air and dozens of negroes-the young, old, lame and halt-scrambled for them. While the liquor was gurgling from the bottles a number of humorous remaries were made, as well as many mouths were made to water. One old negro said: "What er pity it is ter waste dat good stuff and hit so nigh Chrismus." Second Trip North. "Mr. W. H. Turner will leave to day upon his second trip to Balti more this season to replenish hi; stock. The Corner Store has had s large patronage and the stock ii somewhat broken.

Mr. Quarles would have been 57 years of age in December. He leaves his wife, two daughters and four sons. He was a member of Red Hill church, the funeral being conducted by Rev. J. T. Littlejohn Thursday afternoon. We extend sympathy to the bereaved family. Planning For Next Year. Plana are already bein?: laid for next year's fair.
