There is a glare about worldly suc
cess which is very apt to dazzle men's
eyes.-HARE.
i ?
The members of the board have
made a straightforward, manly state
ment but the fact remains that too
many old books were discarded. The
parents will find it out too when
books have to be purchased next year.
So satisfactory has been the commis
sion form of government for Columbia
that other cities and towns contem
plate its adoption. But for the gover
nor's veto Charleston would doubtless
now be under commission government.
Through an order just issued by
Postmaster General Hitchcock all ru
ral free delivery carriers-4b,OOO in
number-will hereafter receive a sala
ry $1,000 instead of $900. This increase
is for standard routes and a propor
tionate increase will be made on the
shorter routes.
There are some young bachelors,
here in this city who need a little dy
namite placed under them. They are
just too slow for anything.-Spartan
burg Journal.
There are likewise a few in Edge
field who need to be waked up. Think
of it, 12 days have passed and not a
marriage license has been issued!
As friends in different parts of the
county have been so kind as to com
mend, some in person and others by
letter, the series of articles on cur ob
servations while in New York with the
Press party, requesting also that they
be continued, the writer will give
space to several other articles before
discontinuing. One appears this week
on the Public Library.
Citadel Scholarship.
As stated in an advertisement else
where in this issue, there is a vacancy
at The Citadel from this county, Cadet
Scott having received an appointment
to?the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
A competitive examination will be hejd
August 11th to fill The Citadel vacancy.
Surely there will be no dearth of appli
cants for the place. This is easily the
most valuable scholarship that is
awarded by the state. All expenses of
the entire course of four years are
paid, being the equivalent of $1,000 in
actual cash.
Dr. S. C. Mitchell.
Samuel Chiles Mitchell, M. A.,
Georgetown (Ky.,) college; student
University of Virginia; Ph. D, Univer
sity, of Chicago; LL, D, Hampden-Sid
ney college, Va; D D, Furman Univer
sity; professor of history and Greek in
Mississippi college; professor of Latin
in Georgetown college; professor of
history in Richmond college; president
of University of South Carolina; lec
turer on history in Brown University;
member American Historical society;
author of articles in Encyclopedia
Americana, but, in the opinion of the
governor of South Carolina, lacking in
brains.-Columbia Record.
By this time Dr S C Mitchell, the
president of the South Carolina Uni
versity, is too well known by the peo
ple of the state, and his services too
highly appreciated, to be injured by
the slurs of a demagogue. They only
react upon the one who gave them ut
terance.
Make Public Statement.
The members of the state board of
education who are responsible for the
radical change in text books
have at last made a public statement
concerning their recent official acts.
We have carefully read the statement
which removes the cloud of suspicion
that was about to rest upon them be
cause of their continued silen -e.
Just as we have been inclined to be
lieve all along, their erring has been
one of judgment and not a preconceiv
ed plan to defraud the people or the
state by promoting personal ends as
members of the board.
As we see it now, the only thing for
which the board can be censured is
their disregard of the people's interest
by making so radical a change in the
text books to be used hereafter in the
public schools. Whenever the time ar
rives for the re-adoption of old, or
adoption of new books, some changes
should be made, but never so great a
number as 80 per cent of the old books
should.be discarded.
When it became apparent to the
members of the board that so many
of the old books, now in the possession
of parents, were being condemned,
practically destroyed, they should have
reflected seriously before voting to
substitute other and more expensive
books.
Notwithstanding the statement of
the other members of the board in
which they say they have no apologies
to make for their action, we still think
Mr. Swearingen was right in his vigor
ous protest against such a drastic
(bange.

Altogether Too Personal.
A colored citizen of a Georgia
town had provided on one occasion
a rare feast for a number of his
friends, among whom was included
the pastor of the Mount Calvary
c hurch, says the New York Press.
The piece de |resistance of this
banquet was a fine goose. "A fine
bird, Peter!" exclaimed the minis
ter, casting a sly glance at his host.
"As fine a bird as ever I see! where
did yo' git it."
The host suddenly took on an
added dignity. "Excuse me, sah,"
said he, "but dat 'pears like a
mighty pussonul question sah! When
yo' preaches a specially good ser
mon, sah, does I ever ask yo' where
yo' gits - it? Anyway sah, dat's a
triv'al matter, it seems to me."
Newsy Letter From Rehoboth.
Dear Advertiser: I will again
give you a bit of news from our
community.
On Sunday last, quite a large
crowd attended services at Reho
both. It was our privilege to have
Dr. Derieux of Greenville with us.
In the morning he preached to a
crowded but attentive audience, his
text being from the 23rd Psalm,
"The Lord is my Shepherd." After
the church was filled to its utmost |
capacity, Jour pastor, Rev. J. T.
Littlejohn, seeing that a large
crowd still remained outside, gath
ered them beneath the oaks and
there preached to them.
In the afternoon, Dr. Derieux
preached a most excellent sermon
before the Woman's Missionary So-|
ciety, his text being taken from
Matthew's gospel. At the close of
the afternoon service, the ladies col
lected the little mite boxes which
were distributed among them some
months ago, and had an opening,
realizing the sum of $25.55. We
couldn't help but notice the bright
smile upon the face of our good
president, Miss Carrie Burkhalter,
and we knew right then that she
was vary much pleased with the
collection. In fact, every member
seemed glad.
We noticed several automobiles
in the grove from our near-by
town?, and heard one of the gentle
men remark that by the time the
ladies held another missionary
meeting, he wouldn't be surprised
to see an air ship or two on the
grounds.
Good rains have fallen in this
section recently, causing the crops
to take On new life, If the rains
continue, we think the harvest wiU
be much greater than was once ex
pected.
Mr. T. A. Broadwater and fami
ly spent the week end at the home
of Mrs. Emma Wash.
Little Miss Jennie Wertz of|
Ninet3* Six is visiting relatives in
our community.
Miss Julia Strom is spending
some time in Aiken with her aunts,
Mesdames Brunson and Gillam.
We are glad to report that Mrs.
Press Culbreath, who has been quite
sick, is able to be out.
Messrs. R. J. and M. B. Moul
trie made a business trip to Augus
ta last week.
Mrs. Mary Holley who resides
with her niece in North Carolina,
is visiting relatives and friends
around Rehoboth.
We were glad to see Messrs.
Charlie Whatley and Sampson
Strom out at church on Sunday.
They have both been sick for some
time.
The grain has about all been
threshed, and while the yield was
not as large as it would have been,
had it been seasonable, reports show
that it is considerably larger than
last year. So, farmers, do not get
discouraged, but sow a still larger
acreage this fall.
Mr. Editor, we would be glad to
read some more pieces concerning
your New York trip, so let us hear
from you. A Friend.
A Correction Made.
Your typesetter is so gracious to
make anything at all out of my
chirography, I hesitate to ask for a
correction, but last week, the mis
take is noticeable. I ask for the fol
lowing correction. I copied|a prayer
of Henry Van Dyke's, and signed
his name to said prayer. I then
quoted from ;-Gray's Elegy: "Full
many a gem, etc." stating that the
poet said. You made me say, Henry
Van Dyke, the poet said, "Full
many a ray, etc." I want to make
it clear, that the prayer was Van
Dyke's and quotation from Gray's
Elegy. More Anon.

Griffis Barbecue.
Next Tuesday, July 18th, the
young people from the northern
half of Edgefield and from the
southern portion of Greenwood will
gather in the grove near Mr. J. J.
Griffiis' home for a day of pleasure.
All farm wonk being practically
over, the attendance will doubtless
be very large. Mr. Griffis is spar
ing no efforts or expense to have
everything in readiness. He has
become famous through the excel
lent dinners that he serves on these
annual occasions. A band will be
on hand to furnish music for the
dancers, and all who attend the
Griffis picnic will spend an exceed
ingly pleasant day.
Celebrated Stallion.
Stock raisers who have not al
ready called should go at once to
the stables of Messrs. Wilson &
Cantelou and see their celebrated
stallion Free Giver. He represents
the highest type of horse flesh to be
found in this country. His record
for speed, his excellent qualities, his
adaptability for all purposes, his
size, perfect form and beautiful col
or, to say nothing of his thorough
bred sires and grand-sires, should
cause Free Giver to become very
popular among the stock raisers and
lovers of good horses in the county.
Messrs. Wilson & Cantelou should
receive the thanks of our people for
bringing at very great expense this
new blood into this section. Ask to
see Free Giver.
Harmony Union.
Members of the Harmony far
mers union are requested to meet
at Harmony, Friday 14th. Very im

A full attendance is desired.

The people who count are those,
who do things. No house wrecker'
who leveled aged structures and
carted away their refuse, ever
sheltered thereby a human being
from the storm. The leaders of men
do things. They are positive, and
no great work ever started from a
negation. They draw men after
them, excite their admiration, win
their love, arouse them to actior,
imbue them with enthusiasm, with
belief. The names of men of action
are inscribed on the tablets of his
tory.
Be aggressive. Be strong, make
yourself known and felt as a pow
er; and power is only known, as
such, when in action. Nothing
makes for a man's success like a
good, hearty fight-strive to win.
Friction, nothing else, polishes
briners out the "high lights" of the
stone, the metal and the man.
What to fight about? Is there a
corner in the world, where there
are no wrongs to be righted, no
needs to be fulfilled, no better
work to be done?-Foreword in

Capt. Tom. S. Getzen, a son of
the Rev. Sammie Getzen, of sacred
memory, who has lived since the
war in Florida was here one day
last week on a visit to his cousin,
John C. Morgan and Mrs. Mollie
Cartledge. He told his friends many
war reminiscences, and said most of
his old comrades are dead, but he
would be delighted to see Henry
and Elbert Dobcy, Sam Horne and
Will Powell, who are living. Capt.
Getzen has got rich in Florida,
though permanently maimed, hav
ing lost a leg at Bentonsville, N. C.
He left here to visit his daughter,
Mrs. Dr. Adams, of Plum Branch.
A crowd left here in an automo
bile one day last week for Thomp
son, Ga., to hear the inimitable and
indefatigable Tom Watson. The
crowd consisted of Messrs. W. P.
and W. R. and and J. C. Parks, J.
and Luther Stone, R. N. Edmunds,
S. Ridlehoover, Warren Stone and
others from McCormick. They re
port a great meeting. Although
Tom Watson is erratic and cranky
on missions, he is not afraid of the
world, the flesh and the devil, and I
would be glad to see him elected to
the United Slates senate from Geor
gia. He is not afraid to expose the
rascals, who most of all dread pub
licity and for this reason, I would
like to see him go to the senate. The
only cure for political corruption,
in my opinion, is, publicity, and
this Tom Watson does with a mas
ter hand, though sometimes in dis
credit. Georgia could do worse
than send Tom Watson to the
United State's senate.
Mrs. Mary Burton' of Gilgal,
who was Miss Mary Street before
her marriage to Maj. Geo. Burton
took the train here yesterday, on
her way to visit her brother, Mr.

we were indeed glad to meet them.

week, going over to see friends in

because Joe was here ten days ago

day to visit him.

yesterday looking to th remodeling

This standard bred Stallion will stand for services
at our stable. We will exercise utmost care in breed
ing mares, but we do most positively refuse to assume
any damages that may occur. Our risk is greater
than yours. Terms: $15.00 spot cash for season with
privilege of returning next season if horse is still in
our possession, or $25.00 to insure living foal. This
becomes due when mare is parted with or bred to
another animal. We reserve the right to reject any
or all mares.
