' 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.

In Market For Long
Staple Cotton.
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.
