This improvement and enlargement has been made to re lieve the congestion. The condition of Capt. W. H. Brimson and Mr. M. N. Holstein remains practically unchanged.

We are pleased to know that the farmers of the county are learning the value of winter legumes. Mr. David Strother has been sowing vetch for several years with highly satisfactory results. Ile told the writer that he expects to sow about 200 pounds of vetch seed this fall. So faithful is our friend and neigh bor, Brooks Dunovant, to his du ties and so seldom does he leave, we are apprehensive that his depart ure from town to-day will bring down another flood similar to that of two weeks ago. He needs the rest, so joy go with him. We'll risk the flood. Whooping cough has been re ported in some parts of the county for some time and it has now reach ed Edgefield, claiming the little folks in The Advertiser home as its first victims.

S. Williams who resides in the Re publican church section made a blast with dynamite in a well that he was digging. Monday morning he went down to remove the rocks and earth that had been torn up by the dynamite. After one or two buckets had been sent up, those who operated the windlass above heard heavy breathing in the well and upon investigation found that Mr. Williams had succumbed to nox ious gas resulting from the dyna mite explosion. At first it was dif ficult to get some one to consent to ! go down and rescue him. Finally | a negro boy volunteered his ser vices. He was lowered to the bot tom and placed a rope around Mr. Williams' body, by which he was removed. As soon as be was brought to the surface efforts were immediately made to restore him to a normal condition. In the mean time Dr. J. H. Carmichael was tele phoned for and went at once to Mr. Williams' home. The latest re ports aie to the effect that Mr. Williams is steadily improving and will scon be fully restored. The heroic little negro, who, if reports be true, deserves the highest com mendation, also fainted as soon as he was drawn from the well, but soon recovered. In using dynamite in wells, let others profit by the hairbreadth es cape of Mr. Williams. In New Building. After occupying temporary quar ters for the fcpast three or four months, the Farmers Bank is again doing business at the same old stand but now in a handsome, up-to-date building. Practically no part of | the old building was left standing. The imposing stone front, graced hy four stately columns is an earn; est of what the interior is. The main room has marble and ma hogany counters, marble wains coating, white walls and highly embellished metal ceiling. Two handsome private offices have been j arranged in the rear of the building | with a modern, fire-proof vault in the basement beneath, arranged for storing old books and records. The entire building has been wired and will be lighted by electricity as soon as the plant is installed for the town. The Farmers Bank now has al plant or bank building that is sur passed by but few country banks in the state, and in selecting the clas sical design for the front the of ficials have set a new pace in Edge field, architecturally speaking. Let us hope that this magnificent struc ture will be an inspiration to those | who shall build hereafter. Newsy Letter From Red Hill J Section.

The speaker, Admiral Schley, stood on the beach at Atlantic City, says the Washington Star. With a smile, he resumed: "A jewelry salesman once entered a seaside jeweler's. " 'I must sell you,' he said, 'a consignment of wedding rings.Look, your stock of them is down to three or four, whi|e here you have a whole big trayful of engagement rings.' " 'Young man' said the jeweler, 'if you had been a little longer in the business you'd know that it al ways takes at least one irayful of engagement rings to work off three wedding rings. Overcome With Guilt. A negro, having won a dollar at a crap game, decided to spend it on having his fortune told, says the Argonaut. The fortune teller led him into a gloomy room, with dirty hangings and misty red lights. She took his palm, traced it with a dol lar, spread out her cards, and then said. "You are very fond of music; you like chicken; you have won money at craps and you have been in jail." The negro looked at her with bulged eyes and finally ejaculated. "Mah goodness lady; why you jest read mah inmost thoughts." CALHOUN A. MAYS ATTORNEY/ AT LAW EDGEFIELD, - . S.
