candidacy this week for the position
of cotton weigher. He is a good
man and will render faithful ser
vice if chosen for the place. Mr.
Bartley's experience as manager of
a public ginnery especially fits him
for the duties of the position.
Death of Dr. Jones.
That the familiar face and form
of Dr. W. Luther Jones will not be
seen again on our streets can scarce
ly be realized. So sudden was the
blow to his friends that his death
Saturday morning, when but a few
hours before he was apparently in
the full enjoyment of health, seems
almost as a dream instead of a re
ality. Yet it is true. Luther, as his
closest and warmest friends delight
ed to call him, has boen cut off in
the prime of life and in the zenith
of a successful professional and
business career.
Dr. Jones was thoroughly in love
with his work and achieved marked
success in his profession. Being
well equipped by a three years'
course^in University of Iowa, fol
lowed by a course in the leading
veterinary college of Ontario, Cana
da, he had no trouble in establishing
himself among the people who had
known bira from infancy. He also
possessed excellent judgment as a
business man which is attested by
the careful and prudent manage
raent of his business interests.
While Dr. Jones will be missed
by Lis host of friends, yet nowhere
else will he be missed so much as in
the home, where he always proved
to be a devoted husband and a kind
and indulgent father. Luther will
also be a great loss to his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Jones, between
whom the ties of affection were very
strong.
The funeral was conducted at the
home Sunday morning by Rev. T.
P. Burgess and the burial took
phce immediately after in the vil
lage cemetery.
The friends who bore Dr Jones'
body to the grave were, W. A.
Byrd, J. E. Miras, Dr. R. A. Marsh,
Dr. J. G.Edwards, M. W. Hudgens,
H. C. Watson, Judge S. M. Smith
and S. E. Morgan.
Dr. Jones is survived by his wife,
who was Miss Marion Hill, two lit
tle sons, his father, mother and only
brother, Dr. B. F. Jones of Colum
bia.
We extend sympathy to the grief
stricken loved ones.
The Piney Grove Picnic.
The editor of The Advertiser
spent an exceedingly pleasant day
with the good people of the eastern
portion of the county Saturday, at
tending the annual barbecue and
picnic at Piney Grove school. The
Yonces, Derricks, Scotts, Wil
liarases, Cullums Holmeses and
Clarks always greet those who come
among them with such sincere cor
diality that a visit is never forgot
ten-on the contrary, it is a source
of many pleasant recollections.
The dinner that was spread upon
the long table under the trees re
flected not only the hospitality" of
the people but their prosperity as
well. The Philippi-Piney Grove
people live at home, as all farmers
ought to do. The great feast also
indicated that the queens of the
homes in that section know how tc
provide and serve a dinner thal
would please a king or any othei
potentate. The writer is indebted
to Mrs. Mamie Shaffer for a large
plate of dinner that was suflicien'
for three men.
After dinner Mr. George W
Scott presented several gentlemer
who in short, tcMhe-point addresse
made the welkin ring till the crowe
was forced to disperse earljr in th
afternoon by threatening clouds
Those who spoke were Dr. J. M
Rushton, Mr. W. W. Fuller, Hon
fi. P. Wells and Rev. P. E. Mor
roe.
The patrons of the school sol
ice cream and cold drinks in ordc
to raise money for further improve
ment of their school buildinf
which w ould even now be a credi
to any community. Last year the
made sufficient money at the barbi
cue to have the building beaut ?full
painted.
The finest crops that we ha\
ever seen for the middle of Jul
are in the Piney Grove vicinit
and on the road leading out by D
W. ll. Tiramerraan's place. It
worth riding 20 railes to see ot
friend Henry Yonce's crop.
For Cotton Weigher.
I hereby announce that I am a
candidate for the office of Cotton
Weigher for the town of Edgefield,
and respectfully solicit the votes of
farmers who market their cotton at
Edgefield. If elected I will give
my entire time to the duties of the
office and will do my utmost to give
perfect satisfaction.
J. G. Byrd,
Pleasant Lane, S. C.
1 respectfully announce that I am
a candidate for the position of Cot
ton Weigher for the town of Edge
field, and solicit the votes of the
farmers who sell their cotton at
that market. Having been the
manager of a public gin for 20
years, I feel that my experience will
enable me to fill the place satisfac
torily. As I have a farm on hand,
I will not be able to do much can
vassing. If, elected will do my
best to give entire satisfaction.
S. A. Bartley.

Ice Cream Festival.
The ladies of Republican church
will give an ice cream entertain
ment at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
A. A. Wells Wednesday, July 26th
from 3 to 6 for the benefit of the
church. All who attend will not
only enjoy the delightful cream and
cake but will have an exceedingly
pleasant time socially. Not only
plan to go, yourself but tell your
friends about the entertainment that
these zealous Christian ladies have
planned.
Closing Out Summer Goods.
The entire stock of C. H. Schnei
der, consisting of dry goods, cloth
ing, shoes and millinery, amounting
to $10,000 must be sacri?ced for
the next ten days. I am determined
to dispose of af 1 stocks on hand to
start the fall season with fresh,
clean goods in departmeats. Never
have such radical price reduction
been made in this section and never
has the little word bargain been so
fruitful of so many rich and happy
surprises in values. Don't fail to at
tend this sale. Sale begins Saturday,
July 22, lasts till Tuesday Aug. 2.
Boll Weevil a Blessing.
Mr. J. W. Lyon, of Shrevesport,
La., is visiting his uncle, Mr. M.
D. Lyon. It is exceedingly interest
ing to converse with Mr. Lyon upon
the agricultural conditions of his
section. He reports all crops, not
only in his state but in Alabama
and southwest Georgia through
which he passed, as being unusually
fine. Mr. Lyon says new cotton was
being marketed before he left home
two weeks ago, picking actually
commencing a month ago. The early
maturity is due to an exceptionally
early variety that is now very gen
erally planted in order to combat
th2 boll weevil. Mr. Lyon says the
weevil has proven a blessing in dis
guise in that it forced farmers of
the weevil-infested region to aban
don ah cotton and diversify their
crops. Instead of buying meat, corn
and potatoes from the northwest,
farmers who previously suffered
from the weevil are now 'shipping
corn, hogs and beef cattle in large
quantities. For two or three years
after the weevil first appeared the
cotton acreage was reduced, but
since it was learned by actual ex
periment that a yery early variety
would mature before the ravages of
the weevils began, the planting has
increased to the former or original
acreage.
Tribute to an Aged Colored
Woman.
Dear Mr. Editor: Will you kind
ly give a brief space to this notice
of the death of a worthy colored
woman, Frances Oliphant, eighty
two years old, died on Wednesday
12th inst., at ber home eight milei
above Edgefield. She was an ex
slave of the family of the writer
and having known *her from infan
cy, we can confidently speak of hei
worth. As a slave she was faithful
and when freedom came to her sh<
assumed no airs, but was alway
humble and courteous toward th<
white people, particularly to th
members of the family to which shi
had belonged. Ever ready am
more than willing co do a servie
for those whom she called "youn
master and young mistress," sh
had firm friends who in turn gladi
did her kindness. She lived hai
moniously with her husband fo
sixty-five years, and that husbanc
now eighty-six years old, and wh
is totally blind, will Badly miss tl
wife who gave him in his helplei
old age the loving attention his a
flicted condition required.
Her children loved her sincere!
and gave evidence of it while si
lived, and particularly in her la
sickness and death. They spoke <
her as "our mother, our' be
friend," and while they mourn th
loss they believe she has gone <
her reward. She was a consiste
member of the church where al
was buried, and had many frien
among her own race who will mi
her many kindly words and deed

Autoing and Optics
"Is not auto driving terribly bard
on the eyes?" we asked.
"Well, I guess not!" replied the
chauffeur, withering ns with scorn.
"Wy, before I got to runnin' a
car I was thinkin' o' gettin' specs;
ray eyesight was th it poor I could
n't see the contribution box in
church until it was so near past me
it was too late to dig for any monpy.
But I hadn't been runnin' that wag
on two days till I could see a po
liceman s little fingers stickin' out
from behind a tree four miles away.
I could even see which way a cop
per's eyeballs were turned if he was
standin' in the sh.ide three miles off.
Hard on the eyes! Well, not much!
I It's the best medicine for weak eyes
that was ever invented, don't you
forget it."-Baltimore Sun.
