There is a glare about worldly suc cess which is very apt to dazzle men's eyes.-HARE. ? 0 Suitable punishment for the ice dealers of New York who h^ve been extorting exorbitant prices for ice from the poor during the hot spell would be to send them through the Bowery un protected about ten o'clock at night, making their identity known to the denizens of that district. The Civil War has been fought over again in the United States senate du ring the past few davs. and the South owes Senator Williams of Mississippi a vote of thanks for his brave and manly defense of the "'lost cause," as well as for the sound drubbing which he gave Senator Heyburn of Idaho. Poor Georgia, like South Carolina, is sorely afflicted with demagogues and unscrupulous politicians who seem at times to be willing to turn the, old commonwealth bottom-side-up in or der to carry their point. Of the two states that are separated by the Sa vannah, all things considered, we pre fer South Carolina. After n:uch pressure had been brought to bear upon him, the Hon Hoke Smith has decided to resign as governor of Georgia and go to Wash ington Monday to enter upon his du ties as United States senator. Politi cal matters so shaped themselves that this was the only course left for him - either,'that, or surrender his commis sio n as Senator. -m ? ? We do not know the cause, whether it be the indifference of the bachelors or the unwillingness of tho fair maids, but the fact exists that marriage li cense No. 1 has nojt yet been issued in Edgefielc county. With the crop pros pect so promising applicants for li censes should be falling over each other in their efforts to reach Judge Allen. But he is not setting them a good example himself. The removal of Dr. Harvey W Wi ley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture, at this time would be a public calamity. The service that Dr Wiley has rendered in the enforcement of the pure food and drug law has been of inestimable value. Those who have habitually adulterated drugs and food stuffs are jubilant over the prospect of the summary discharge of Dr Wiiey from the government ser vice. Cotton Not Yet Made. For the report to be heralded abroad this early in the season that the cot ton crop throughout the south is more promising than in several years and that an unprecedented yield h almost within the producers' grasp may re sult in great injustice to the cotton growers. While farmers in many sec tions have reason ^to be grateful for . the promising outlook, yet there is nothing more uncertain now than the yield of cotton, it matters not how it may appear at this season. A drought in August, accompanied by hot winds, which is not impossible, * would prove exceedingly disastrous, cutting the crop short many hundred thousands of bales-possibly millions over the en tire cotton belt. Even a hot dry spell in September Would cause premature opening and $ the dropping of unmatured fruit. Cot ton farmers are not "out of the woods" yet by any means, and specu lators should understand this before they begin their manipulations to "bear" the market. Progressive and Prosperous Plum Branch to the Front. This is to let you know that the west-side has not forgotten you or any of our old Edgefield friends. Secession does not mean that we will forget our friends. No, not by any means. The question has been asked why we wanted the changed There are several reasons why and we could give some of them but we prefer leaving that to som*.! one else, fear ing a controversy through the pa pers. Our cause is a just and reason able one. Our little town is not really on a boom but she is moving to the front. "We have doubled our popu lation in the last 18 months. New buildings are going upon every side and others being planned and property ehamrirm' hands. Lots aro being bought with a view of buildj ing in the near future. The town council employed Mr. Janies Parks, an engineer, to re survey the town last week, opening up some new streets. Mr. and Mrs. M. Ii. Sturkey have had some very desirable lots laid off, both resident and business lots, i The C. & W. C. railroad has1 staked out the extension of the side track and will start to work at once to double the capacity ot* the siding; The increase of business demanded the improvements. The establishing of the new ferry across the Savannah river 3 1-2 miles from Plum Branch, by Mr. M. B. Sturkey, has done much to-1 wards building up the town. The crops on this side of the county are good, much better than for the last two years. The rains have been all that we could ask fer | during the last 5 weeks and the far mers are all happy over the prospects of a good crop. The health of our town is good. There are a few cases of sickness out in the country, which cannot be attributed to any local cause. We are much in earnest about our high school and are happy over the past, predicting a bright future for our school. The trustees have j employed a competent" set of teach ers both principal and assistants. Miss May Roper is one of the nura> ber. The Rambler. Tragic Death of Mr. B. W. Bet-| tis at Hendersonville, N. C. Happy in the anticipation of pleasant vacation in the mountains, not dreaming that Fate would soon deal so cruelly with him, Mr. B W. Bettis left his Trenton home Wednesday morning, July 5th, in his large touring car, accompanied by Mr. S. T. Hughes. Jr., and his chauffeur. He stopped at Glenn Springs two days, where Mr. Hughes remained, and then went on to Greenville for a stay of two or three days. From the latter place Mr. Bettis went to Hendersonville, N. C., being driven by his chauffeur. Wednesday evening of last week Mr. Bettis attended a social gather ing at a neighboring hotel in Hen dersonville, taking seven or eight friends with him in his large car which was driven by his chauffeur. Among the friends were Mrs. Bow man, of Sumter, and her two daugh ters, Misses Lena and Mabel, who were spending the summer at Hen dersonville in their mountain home. The party returned, from the so cial gathering about 11:30, and on reaching their hotel it was sug gested that they take a ride up the Asheville road. The car being some what crowded, Mr. Bettis left his chauffeur at the hotel and took charge of the car himself. Misses Lena and Mabel Bowman were on Lhe front seat with him and their mother occupied the rear seat with other friends. About three miles from Hender ion ville a curve was reached in the *oad and, evidently believing that ie was meetipg some one, Mr. Bet ;is steered to the right, going not nearer than two feet of the edge of the embankment which was about :en feet high. There was a small rully or washed place in the road lot sufficiently large to be observed it night, and when the front wheel iropped in it, the soft earth on the ?utside giving way, the car turned urtle down the embankment, bury ng the occupants beneath it. Mr. Pettis was crushed and instantly :illed by the steering wheel, which lis lifeless form was gripping when emoved. Miss Lena Bowman, to shorn it is reported Mr. Bettis was ;ngaged to be married, was also illed. The other occupants, though ntrapped under the heavy car for n hour, suffered no very serious in nry. The two bodies were carried to irs. Bowman's cottage, she bein n will ing for. Mr. Bettis' body to e carried to the hotel. The mother f the young lady who was killed xonerates Mr. Bettis from any ensure or blanie.'When examined ie car was in intermediate gear, in icating that the speed was not high t the time. The body was brought to Tren m Thursday night and buried in ie family square in Ebenezer ceme !ry Friday afternoon. The funeral as conducted by Dr. W. S. Dor :t. Of the Bettis family there are ily two sisters left, Mrs. Emma ettis Mood of Charleston and Miss atalie Bettis. On account of his kind and gen .ous nature, Mr. Bettis made lends wherever he went. All who lew him he!d him in very high es em. He was strong, manly, noble id true, being utterly devoid of at narrow and selfish spirit which ows no consideration for others e could never do enough for his iends, being generous to a fault, he memory of Bub Bettis will long ; cherished in many hearts, not Hy in Trenton but in Edgefield id throughout the county. Scholarship Examinations. Acting under instructions of the ate superintendent of education, unty superintendent of education '. W. Fuller held an examination the court house Friday for the irpose of awarding the scholar ips in Clemson and the TJniversi of South Carolina from this unty. The following competed for erason's agricultural scholarship: P. Salter, Jr., Trenton; H. W. lams, Meriwether; J. G. McKie, ., Meriwether; Julian R. Strother, ., Edgefield; Rudolph Strom, Re both; C. P. Powell, North Augus and H. A. Cogburn, Meeting reet. Those standing the entrance animation were J. Kletner White, um Branch and Fred Lanham, ipers. Those who applied for the rmal scholarship in the Universi were Marion A. Wright, F. F. insford, W. J. Scott, S. C. Cog ra and B. F. Gaines. i Dr. William Luther Jones. Our community was startled on Saturday morning- by the sudden death of Dr. Jones. He had not been very well and expected to leave on Monday for Glenn Springs. There was nothing alarming in his condition, however, and after break fast on Saturday morning he went up town, attended to some business at the bank, and was about to take the train for Augusta to arrange some matters preparatory to his going to the Springs on Monday. About this time he felt symptoms of acute indigestion and went around to the office of Drs. Tompkins and Marsh, who ministered to him, and he took a hack and went home. Con tinuing to feel worse the doctors were 'phoned for and were soon at his side. He seemed to be relieved, and the doctors left to attend a very urgent case at the office. About the time the doctors reached the office, the 'phone rang again, and again they hastened to him, but only to find him beyond human help. In a few moments the end came, and his spirit went back to the God who gave it. Pr. Jones was born December 24th, 1878, and was therefore in the thirty-third year^of his age. He went to school here in Edgefield, and wa9 prepared for college by Dr. Gwalt ney. He attended Iowa University three years, and then attended On tario Veterinary College, Toronto, Canada, one year, taking his degree as veterinary surgeon. Such was his proficiency that he was employed by the British Government at a hand some salary, and sent to South Africa. After this service he return ed to Edgefield and entered business with his father and practiced his profession. On June 5th, 1901, he was mar ried to Miss Marion Hill, daughter pf Mr. John B. Hill. Two dear lit tle boys were born to them, and they with their mother survive him Dr. Jones is also survived by his father and mother, and one brother, who is also a veterinary surgeon, now located in Columbia. The mot to of Dr. Jones is said to have been, "Do good, and reject the rights of all." He was a member of the Odd Fellows, Woodmen of the World and of the Knight's of Pythias. How large a place he filled in1 the life of our community was attested by one of the largest funeral pro cessions ever seen here, and our whole people seemed to mourn for him, and to grieve writh his sorrow ing loved ones. His was a noble pro fession devoted to the relief of suffering. He seemed to have a pas sionate love for all animals. He usually kept for his personal use a very fine horsa with both saddle and harness gaits, and in the yard were his dogs, which he delighted to fol low in the chase. That a life so full of life and of noble service should be so suddenly taken away is a sad mystery. May the God of all conso lation comfort those in his home tvhere he was loved so tenderly, indjwhere the blow falls heaviest, ind may they realize that "the ever lasting arms are underneath, and ;hat the eternal God is their refuge." The funeral services were held at he residence on Sunday morning )y Rev. T. P. Burgess, and the re mains were interred in Wyiow 3 rook cemetery, the services at the jrave being conducted by the {nights of Pythias. 'Come ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish, Dome to the mercy seat, fervently kneel; 1?re bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; iarth has no sorrow, that heaven cannot heal." T. P. B.

Charleston Leads in Production of Commercial Fertilizers Facts and Figures of The Industry. Mr. WilliamE. Srmmcms recently wrote a very interesting article to the Manufacturer's Record entitled "Charlesto/n Fertilizer Industry," and as so many of The Advertiser's readers ar? large buyers of commer cial fertilizers we publish the fol lowing extracts from Mr. Simmons' well written article: "What cloth is to Lowell, furni ture to Grand Rapids or iron, to Pittsburg, ; fertilizers are to Char leston. They are the life of the city. They) keep the railroads work ing and bring ships across the ocean from the antipodes. Great manufacturing plants stand in the suburbs, and 12 of these, situated side by side on the east bank of the Ashley, form a city of themselves. They represent an investment of millions of dollars, and employ thou sands of hands, who annually draw millions in wages. They utilize the resources of widely-separated parts of the earth, calling for pyrites from Spain, potash from Germany and nitrates from Chile. "The railroads carry out of Char leston more than 100 carloads of fertilizers for every day of the year except Sundays. During the busy season, from February to May, more than 500 carloads a day are moved from week to week. That is equivalent to one train over four miles long for each day. Last year's shipments of fertilizers aggregated 606,709 tons, more than half the freight sent out of the city. These figures have been almost equaled al ready this year. Up to the'first of June shipments reached 514,034 tons, so with' seven months yet to be heard from, - the mark of 1010 will be left considerably behind. "The fertiliser industry has not on'.y been the mainstay of t- harles ton in her darkest commercial days, but also the chief instrument of her redemption and of building up for her a foreign import trade greater than the combined foreign importa tions of all the Atlantic coast cities south of Baltimore. "And the industry is not yet 50 years old. It had its inception in the discovery of phosphate rock, on the lowlands about the city, in the sum mer of 1867. What had been noticed long before by various geologists and called "marl stones" by Tom mey were then shown by Dr. St. Julien Ravenel of Charleston and Dr. N. A. Pratt of Georgia to be in reality phosphate rock,containing from 35 to 67 per cent of bone phosphate of lime, the basic element of commercial fertilizers. "The process of manufacture is briefly thisThe rock, received washed and ^kiln-dried from the miners, isvreduced by specially de signed centrifugal crushers - to an exceedingly fine powder. The pow der is next treated in closed mixing pans with sulphuric acid to make the phosphate soluble, the mixing being made effectual by revolving blades. The resultant semi-fluid mix ture is then conveyed in cars to dry ing bins, where it remains for a day or two, and when taken out is known to the trade as acid phos phate.'This is the basis of all ferti lizers, which are completed by the addition of nitrates, such as blood, tankage, fish scrap and potash. There are different formulas for different grades, and each company lias a different formula for the jame grade. The usual proportion is ibout 1,200 pounds of acid phos phate to the 2,000-pound ton of fer tilizer. "Sulphuric acid was, as indicated above, first produced by the reduc ion of crude sulphur, but that proved too expensive a method. The icid is now secured by the reduc ion of iron pyrites, imported chiefly rom Spain and Portugal. As near y all of the companies make their ?wn acid, the demand for pyrites is lonsiderable, and growing. Thus in 908, 74,230 tons were imported; in 909, 90,193, and in 1910, 120,912. The imports for last May were ?0,785 tons, 33 per cent greater han those of the previous May. ?owever,only about one-fifth of the iylites imported into Charleston s consumed by the local fertilizer aanufactories. Of the 120,912 tons ntering during 1910,? 22,015 tons rere locally reduced. .The remain !er 98,297 tons, was shipped to the nterior. "Both mining and manafacturing lompanies multiplied after the es ablishment of the pioneers, the ormer at first more rapidly than fie latter, the discovery of the river ock about the end of 1809 giving hem special impetus. Some of the iver mining companies, notably the !oosaw, proved extremely remunera Ive, but all except one had a men ncholy end. Thej' worked under 0-grants from the state, paying one ollar per ton royalty, and supplied .ractically all of the rock exported ) foreign countries. Refusal of the tate to renew the grants on their spiration in 1891, or to reduce the syalty, resulting in litigation and Dincident development of the Flori a p hosphate deposits killed the iver mining industry. "improvements have been made i mining as well as manufacturing, it first the mining was done by and. Trenches were dug with pick nd shovel to lay bare the stratum 'hieb, as a rule, was from three > six feet below the surface. That I PRUDENTIAL FREE TRIP.

The peach crop will soon be a thing of memory, the last of the Elbertas being gathered this week. There has been about a half crop but the prices have been g?od the entire season. One shipper told me that he realized $4.00 a crate net, for some of his especially fancy peaches. With that price the middle man either made no profit or the consumer paid dear for what he ate Meriwether which is only two miles from Clask's Hill shipped several cars a gc od many of the Clark's Hill growers putting in with the Meriwether shippers. The peach season is a busy one always having in quite a number of packers. We have them here from r?lorida,Georgia,Newberry and other points. With all of the hard work though the young folks have man aged to have a good deal of pleasure Mrs.King gave them ice cream last Wednesday and a most enjoyable time was reported. Other little festivities have been quite frequent. A few young people would gather at some place in the evening and,' pass off a few hours with music and conversation. Some stag parties have been given which were quite pleasant. There is a general feeling of re gret that the peaches are gone and pleasant association is here to be broken, lingering adieus are being said and soon all will be quiet again, possibly until next year will bring it all back again. Weare having abundant rains which are ?making the crops look much improved. Some were fearful that the early corn which had been planted in the hills were ruined but the rains are helping that and it is looking well.
