To the citizens of Edgefield. Those of you who appreciate the fact that we live in the progressive year, nineteen hundred and eleven, and that time has changed the modes and customs of half a cen tr. ry ago, those of you who appr? cia >. the needs of today. Fifty years ago? to have intro duced electric lights at the offer of to-day would have been absurd; but it will be just aa absurd to reject them today as i;, would have been ? have accepted them in eighteen hundred and sixty one.. Edgefield needs the lights and must have them. Should the Johnston light and power businessT he merged into a corporation, and Edgefield take half the stock, which is ?15,000 the two towns could be lighted, at almost the samo expense of, ono; for one electrical engineer could superin tend both towns, tlie same condi . S apply to a line-man and a fire nai. Whereas if we were s?panle -si,sou wculj go to expense, other wise il goes to profit rather than ex pense. Edgeleld should take half inter est in the corporation,and iftherevo n . fr ?rn the individual patronage be in proportion to Johnston, tho yearly proceeds wonld be at least 10,300 with an expense of ?3,000, which leaves ?7,800 and this amount would pay for your street lights, pay the interest on the ?15,000 bor rowed to invest ac Hr/o, and leave ?150. This business is in its infan cy, and is growing rapidly for this month's advance over last month is ?50.00. A two town business is far better than a one-town business and .von aro offered half interest in a better business than a one town plant. Think well. . ' Joe W*. Cox. Johnston, S. C.

Speni Exceedingly Pleasant Day. It was the writer's privilege to spend Suiiday al the home of Mr. and Mrs. V.'. T. Walton, near Johns;.wi. At our request Mr. "Wal ton showed us over Iiis farm, stroll ing leisurely from field to field. This ideal farm presents the ap pearance of a large, well kept gar den; We have no hesitancy in say ing thal thc fields have been better prepared for cotton and com than 90 per cent of the vegetable jrardens in the county. Mr. Walton iias al ready planted his corn, only seven acres. But on this he expects to make 500 bushels. All of his colton laud is almost ready for the planter. Nothing is more inspiring to one who has an inherent love for the farm thnn to hear Mr. Walton in his modest way tell of bis past and pi-esent achievements upon . his farm. He is not given to talking much'but by plying him with ques tions, as a lawyer would a witness upon the stand, one finally succeeds in securing a large fund of inform? tion from him. Mrs. Walton is easily one of the best houskeepers in the county and served a meal that would delight a king. Not only does Mr. Walton bountifully supply his pantry from his farm and garden but has provid ed the home with every possible I comfort and convenience. It will in spire anyone to visit the delightful! home of Mr. and Mrs. Walton.. Interesting Modoc News.

Treatment Ct Ph A year or more ago, Ernest Hen singer, a promising young resident of Sandwich, 111., found himself in a condition of physical decline, which was finally overcome by the application of proper treatment. In the following brief statement Mr. Hensinger tells of the manner in which he was restored to health. "For two years I was a victim of stomach trouble. I had a poor appe tite, and was frequently nauseated Has Entered Upon His Work. Rev. Dr. C. E. Burts, the pastor elect pf the First Baptist church, 10 expected to arrive in Columbia within the next day or two and will preach his first sermon in the church on Sunday morning. Dr. Burts, after relinquishing the pastorate of the Baptist church at Edgefield spent sometime in Florida, with his wife and little son, and they have recently been visiting rel atives in Anderson. Dr. Burts last week attended the Southern Com mercial congress in Atlanta, where his brother resides, and returned from Atlanta to Anderson. Dr. Burts is by no means a stran ger in Columbia and his coming to the city is being looked forward to with gratification by those who are acquainted with his magnetic per sonality and realize his usefulness and.vinfluence.

Mr. Lott has accepted the position and has entered enthusiastically upon his work. Already he has enrolled^ about twenty farmers who have signified a willingness and desire to cultivate an acre under the direc tion of the county agent. Mr. Lott is very enthusiastic over the wo^rk, having put heart, soul and body in to it. We trust that scores of far mers in all parts of the county will give him their fullest co operation when he calls upon them. Coroner's Notice.

Walter Dorn, Cedar Row, Edge field, S. C., says: "I used Doan's kidney pills and consider them to be a fine remedy for any disorder arising from the kidneys. I was a victim of kidney complaint for a long time and my back often pained me so severely that I could hardly do my work. The kidney secretions also passed too frequently and were unnatural. Upon learning of Doan's kidney pills, I procured a box at Penn & Holstein's drug store and since using them, I have been free from pain in back and kidney weak ness." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buf falo, New York, sole agents for the United States. * Remember the name-Doan's and take no other tecks ysical Decline at the mere sight of food. After eat ing I would be in distress from the gas on my stomach. I was terribly constipated. I lost much in strength, and my condition finally became such that at times I was unable to work. "Doctors gave me only temporary relief. About a year ago I was per suaded to try Cooper's New Dis covery. The first bottle gave me so much relief that I continued its use, taking three bottles in all. I can now eat anything I wish without feeling any bad effect afterward. My bowels are in good condition, and I am again strong and well. "Last fall I noticed a slight indi cation of distress, but a few doses of the New Discovery caused it to disappear. Cooper's New Discovery is the best preparation I know of for stomach troubh. It did for me what no other medicine was able to do The above is only one of thou sands of statements of a similar character that have been made by persons living in all parts of the country regarding this remarkable medicine.
