drawn by Dr. W. E. Prescott's
pair of bay horses.
Mr. A. F. Mixon has returned
from his home in Tennille, Ga., to
resume his duties as superintendent j
of the oil mill. It is probable that [
he will move his family here in the
near future.
If you wish style and quality cora- j
bined in spring oxfords made by
standard manufacturers in velvet,
suede, satin, vici and gun metal,
Rives Bros. is the place to find

county.-Adv.

the store formerly occupied by T.
P. Lyon & Co., and will turn the
bank building over to the contract

the building is to be -completed by
the 1st of August.
The neatest, daintest, prettiest
and best kept market in the Caro
linas, with Georgia thrown in, is
that of Mr. H. H. Sanders. Even
. the appearance of his store and new
market is appetizing, to say nothing ]
of the nice things that are dispens
ed over the counters.
Mr. C. M. Williams says one in
sertion of his little advertisement in
our columns sold his cotton seed be
fore breakfast. The Advertiser
reaches the people-practically all
of the people-)f the county. That J
is why it bringt? such satisfactory j
results to advertisers.
Mr. J. P. Sullivan recently gave
his wife a handsome piano for a
birthday present. The splendid in
strument was purchased from Hol
land Bros. of Greenwood. We com
mend Mr. Sullivan's example most |
heartily. Would that every home in
the county could have a musical in
strument of some kind in it.
If ladies will, consult their pocket
books when they want style and
quality in hats trimmed by a com
petent Baltimore milliner. We
promise you we can give you better
styles and quality for the same
money that can be bought in larger
cities, as we are satisfied with less |
profits. Rives Bros.
The missionary institute of the
western division of South Carolina
which was held at the Baptist
church Monday night and Tuesday
was largely attended and the inter
est thoughout all of the sessions was
all that could be desired. A full re
port will be published in The Ad
vertiser next week.
Mrs. Hortense Carver Marshall of
Boston is the guest of Mrs. Ella
Tompkins and Mr. A. S. Tompkins,

kins. Mrs. Marshall is a vocalist of
considerable renown, having spent
four years studying under some of
the leading vocalists in Germany.'
She was accompanied by her three
little children.
Messrs. Vann <fc Leppard, Tren
ton's progressive merchants, an
nounce their last call to bargains
this week. Only a few more days j
remain in which the prices will be j
cut so low on staple merchandise.
Better hurry and supply your needs)
before the opportunity passes. Do
not fail to heed the last call.
Mr. W. H. Turner has had such
a large spring business up to this |
time that he has found it necessary
to go north again to replenish his
stock. When his second purchases
begin to arrive the Corner Store
will blossom with the newest and
prettiest things of the season. Watch |
?ur columns for his announcement.
The annual Children's Day exer
cises will be held at the Methodist
ehurch Sunday morning next at the
hour for preaching. The public is
cordially invited.
On our front i>age we present a
cut of the Colliers school. The pho
tograph was taken the afternoon of
the educational rally at Edgefield.
The attractively decorated wagon
was drawn by four large well-kept
mules that belonged to .Henry Mc
Kie, who can always be found in the
front rank doing his full share
when anything of a public.spirited
nature is undertaken.
Rev. R. E. L. Harris, pastor of
the Woodlawn Baptist church of
Augusta, filled the pulpit of the
Edgefield Baptist church Sunday
morning and evening. At the morn
ing service he preached the annual
sermon before tho Woman's Mission
society of the church. Rev. Mr.
Harris is a very earnest, vigorous
speak?r, both of his discourses on
Sunday being well received by the
very large congregations.
Card of Thanks.
Through your columns I desire
to express my sincere appreciation
for the kindly assistance given me
by my friends in The Advertiser's
subscription contest. I shall always
bp grateful for the help that ihey
gave, which enabled me to win one
of the prizes.

Earliest of The Early.
The Irish Cobbler makes good
in every particular, but this is es
pecially true of its early bearing
qualities. Mr. J. D. Holstein show
ed us an Irish potato of the Cobbler
variety that was taken from his gar
den last Saturday, April sJ22nd,
which beyond doubt is the finest
potato of the season in this section.
The potata in question was about
the size of a Plymouth Rock. Many
others equally as large can be found
in Mr. Holstein's garden. The Cob
bier is an all-rouud good potato
from every standpoint.
Ropers Exchange Growing.
Mr. J. B Timmerman takes great
pride in keeping his telephone sys
tem-the Roper's exchange-in first
class condition. The latest phone
to be installed was that of Mr. Hen
ry Hammond. It is probable that
the Faifa community, which is one
of the best in the county, will be
"tapped" by a wire at an early day.
The good people of that section
should thus get in touch with the
outside world, reflecting the pro
gressive spirit of the community.
Card of Thanks.
Please allow me to thank my
friends for their assistance and co
operation in the recent contest con
ducted by The Advertiser. Words
are inadequate to express my grat
itude for the interest they took in
the contest in my behalf.

Judge S. M. Smith.
The county commissioners hav
ing approved his bond, Judge S. M.
Smith formally took charge of the
Master's office Monday. The grand
jury checked over all of the rec
ords and turned thtm over to Judge
Smith. As prescribed by the etat
ute, the bond is for $5,000, and was
signed by G. M. and B. R. Smith,
father and uncle, respectively, of
Judge Smith. We understand that
the master's office will be moved to
the office heretofore occupied by
Mr. Smith and that he will continue
the practice of law on the criminal
side of the court. While holding
the office the law debars Judge
Smith from practicing in the civil
court.

Edgefield People Should Not
Wait Until it is Too Late.
The appalling 'death rate from
kidney disease is due in most cases
to the fact that the little kidney
troubles are usually neglected, until
they become serious. The slight
symptoms give place to chronic dis
orders and the sufferer goes gradual
ly into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy,
Bright's disease, gravel or some
other serious form of kidney com
plaint.
If you are sufferer from backache,
headaches, dizzy spells; if the kid
ney secretions are irregular of pas
sage and unnatural in appearance,
do not delay. Help the kidneys at
once.
Doan'i. kidney pills are especial ly
for kidney disorders, they cure
where others fail. Over one hun
dred thousand people have recom
mended them. Here is one of the
many cases in thiis vicinity.
H B Sommer, Main street, Aiken,
S. C., says: "I have been using
Doan's kidney pills during the past
few months and they freed me from
a pain in my back and a dull, lan
guid feeling that had clung to me
for a long time. I took this remedy
after others had failed and the re
sults have been so satisfactory that
I heartily recommend it"

Interesting Rehoboth News.

last communication and I feel that
I am unworthy of space as a corres
pondent but hope to make amends
for past neglect.
Our farmers are all very busy
planting. This is the week that the
bulk of cotton is planted in this
community. The beautiful weather
this spring has given time to thor
oughly prepare soil, and liberal
amount of fertilizer is being used
for cotton and corn. We hope with
fair season an abundant harvest.
Large grain cropd were sown last
fall throughout this section and the
prospect for a fair yield is encour
aging.

Rev. L B. White Has Resigned.
Special to The Advertiser:
Plum Branch, S. C., April 25: At
a conference of the Plum Branch
Baptist church yesterday Rev.
Luther B. White resigned as
pastor of the church, feeling led of
the spirit of God to another field of
work. Pastor White has during
his entire pastorate had the good
will, sympathy and affection of the
entire church. They are very sorry
to give him up but as it is the Di
vine will they willingly do it. Bro.
White's resignation will take effect
the first of June.
During Bro. White's pastorate
here the church has grown a great
deal both in members and in giving.
A nice parsonage with ample lot
provided. Another phase of work
that Bro. White has had a large
share in promoting is the erection
of a splendid school building and the
establishment of a two year high
school.
His influence for the prevalence
of right and honesty and integrity
has been a great asset to this whole
community during his entire minis
try here.
At present this church holds ser
vice every Sunday but by vote of
the church last Sunday they will
hold preaching service only twice
a month beginning with June.
