Turner. ' Don Carlos" Writes From Plum Branch. Dear Editor: Since the mist has partially cleared away our people have about become reconciled to their fate. We are patiently waiting for the committee to do something to relieve the situation. Some of our people thiuk it would be best to carry the election over to the general election, that is, the govern or's part of it while a few think there will not be anything done that will relieve the situation only to let the nomination stand as was first declared the present incumbent be the nominee. If so I do say Lord pity poor old South Carolina and her people, that is those who voted for good, moral, righteous govern ment. .. .Our people are proud of our vote at this place. We voted for a clean man and for good government, whi'e the other fellows voted against us. Yes, dear reader we are proud of old Edgefield and her vote in the primary, and if the govern or's election ia carried over to the general election we will be more than proud of the old county and especially over this precinct. Mr. Editor we have a good little town with a bright future. Our peo ple are a unit, il not our neighbors don't know it. If any of our people have auy little petty differences yon don't hear some chuckle-head run ning around as it were with a trum pet blowing it into tho ears of the world and uiake the world believe we are the second Sodom and Go morrah. No,weare working togeth er for tile greater Plum Branch and brother we are going to get there, and don't forget it. We have an up-to-date high schot.1 with as good corps of teach ers as you will lind anywhere iu the slate. The principal with his assist ants are thoroughly equipped for the work they have in charge. They teach the highest grades taught in the high Echools of the state. We have two good churches, Methodist and Baptist, \\ ith a large member ship that work together harmoniour ly for the upbuilding of the Mat ter's work and for the good of the town. We have preaching every Sunday in the month by two good devoted minister^. Our bank has made wonderful progress to start as late as we did in the the spring. By the way I must not leave out the road question. Mr. Wells came over and we went around with him and he made us some good promises and we in turn made him some good promises and he- filled most of his promises to us and we filled ours to the letter. He gave our roads a good working for which we are very thankful.He gave old M. B. S. road to the ferry a tip top working with very little exception and the old man worked on election day like a Trogan. Supervisor Wells led the ticket Aqd th: old hatchet lays smoldering in the ground like Johu Brown's body of historic lore. Our crops are very short, cotton about a half with some farmers 5-8 of a crop near our town. Up to the 20th of August our cropsjwere gobd. About that time the drought set in and continued up to this date and nothing is left but the grown fruit and that is opening prematurely which makes the staple short, lt may be white but it will not grade up as if it had not opened too early. There are some good corn crops in the community and some hay crops and the hog has been well cared for. M. B. Sturkey. CHURCH NOTICES Rev. E. C.

I desire to notify the peonle of Edgefield county that I have ar ranged to give them a good mar ket for Upland Long Staple conon. I solicit a trial shipment to meat Trenton or .. trial in some other way. Lot me urge the farmers to keep their long staple cotton free from leaves and trash. Careful handling pays more in long staph; than in short staple cotton, for the libre is injured in freeing it from trash. Long staple cotton is used only for goods of a superior quali ty. Have your long staple cotton picked by careful hands. H will pay you. Marketing your long staple cotton through mo will mean mon ey in your pocket. . S. B. Marsh. Trenton, S. C. Registration Notice.
