Haul Guano Now. Guano hauling has begun and doubtless the movement will be very heavy Awhile the roads are good. There is no better time than right now to do heavy hauling. Getting the guano on the farm ear ly will give the stock an opportuni ty to rest before the regular plow ing season begins. If it is possible haul your guano at once. Officers Elected. At a recent meeting of the Odd Fellows the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: Rev. P. P. Blalock, N. G. ; B. E. Nicholson, V. G.; Dr. J. S. Byrd, Warden; I. Mukasby, Chap-, lain; R. L. Dunovant, Secretary and W. H. Bee, outside guardian. This lodge is in a flourishing con dition. Foreclosures Continue. 8 Although we are well into the new year, foreclosures of chattel mortgages continue. Probably more small farmers, chiefly colored peo ple, have been "closed out," lock stock and barrel, during the past sixty days than ever before in Edge field county. This will weed out an irresponsible and thoroughly de pendent class of tillers of the soil, who should not undertake to con coct a farm on their own resources. Resumed Practice of Law. Having fully regained his health "Mr. J. H. Cantelou has resumed the active practice of law, occupying the south room in Mr. Thurmond'3 office which was until recently oc cupied by Hon. B. E. Nicholson. At the time Mr. Cantelou's health failed he had, as a young lawyer, a steadily increasing clientele and his friends hope that for the future his ambition and expectations will be fully realized. Should Not Receive Official Recognition. The insuui ag and disgusting ref erence which Governor Blease made to Senator Tillman in his message should not bc ?iven place in the rec ords of the Senate or House, nor should Senator Tillman's rejoinder. However, if on-J is printed in the journal the ot.-ir should be also. This is purely a personal and politi cal quarrel which was begun with out warrant by Gov. Blease and no official recognition should be given to it by the gener.il assembly. Let them thrash it in the press, or, bet ter still, let it be stopped altogether. Senator Tillman can afford to ig nore Gov. Blease entirely. * Holley-McCreary. The Advertiser acknowledges with pleasure the following an nouncement: "Mr. and Mrs. Sovereign E. Hol ley will give in marriage their daughter Loulie Eus. is to Mr. Richard Ashley McCr^ary on the i-fternoon of Wednesday, January twenty-ninth, nineteen hundred and thirteen at three-thirty o'clock Mill brook l.aptist church Aiken, South Carolina. The honor of your pres ence is requested." Mr. McCreary resided among us fer several years and made many warm personal friends while in Edgefield, all of whom wish him much joy and happiness. A Native of Edgefield. Dr. George W. Abney died at his home in Jacksonville Saturday night and his remains were brought to Edgefield and interred in the family square in the village ceme tery Tuesday morning:. Dr. Abney was born and reared in Edgefield and is well remembered by our oldest inhabitants. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. J. C. Hunter of Atlan ta, two brothers, John R. Abney, Esq., of New York, and B. L. Ab ney, Esq., of Columbia, all of whom, together with other rela tives, attended the funeral. Dr. Ab ney was a member of tthe Masonic lodge in Jacksonville and was bur ied by the members of Concordia lodge. Rev. E. C. Bailey officiated. The Revival Meeting. The revival services began at the Baptist church Monday night and will continue throughout this week and a part of next week. Two ser vices are held each day in the af ternoon at 3:30 and at night at 7:30 o'clock. The services are con ducted by Dr. John F/,Vines, pastor of the First Baptist church of An derson. He preaches very earnest gospel sermons which are reaching the people. From the out set he won the hearts of the large audiences and it is believed that his coming f-monff us at this time will result in lasting benefit to the com munity at large. The public is in vited to all of the services. Will Reduce Fertilizer Bill. The impression prevails that farmers in this county will .not use as large quantity of commercial fertilizers as they did last year. This is said to be due to several causes. The large acreage in oats, the slight advance in the price of fertilizers, and the deteirainatiou of farmers to reduce expenses, have each had some weight in causing to decide to curtail the quan tity used. The Advertiser has always advo cated a generous application of guano but let *t be used intelligent ly and with judgment. Unless the preparation is thorough and suffi cient means are in sight for work ing the crop rapidly, a heavy appli cation should not be made. Knights Enjoy Annual Feast. The Knights of Pythias held their annual banquet in the college dining room Thursday night. There were about 30 Knights present and each one accompanied by a lady. Before the dining room doors were opened a social half hour was enjoyed in the parlors, where sweet music was rendered by the college orchestra of ten pieces. This .was the first op portunity that the people of the town have had of hearing the orchestra and they were charmed with their skill and with the extent of their repertoire. About nine o'clock the commit tee in charge invited the Knights and their friends into the dining room, where three long rows of ta bles had been arranged. Three gen tlemen and three ladies were seated at each table. The committee was congratulated upon the elaborate menu which had been prepared and which was so well served. As mas ter of ceremonies, Dr. J. S. Byrd, the ranking officer of the lodge, an nounced that the gentleman who had beeD invited to deliver an ad dress was unable to attend and that in lieu of the one set address he had at the eleventh hour request ed several Knights to make short talks, calling upon the following gentlemen in the order named, A. S. Tompkins, F. N. K. Bailey, J. L. Mims, P. P. Blalock, A. E. Pad gett and P. B. Mayson. The oecasic n was BO thoroughly enjoyed that some of the Knights have suggested that these feasts be held quarterly instead of annually. Program | for Corn Exposition. Columbia, S.

A Mean Attack. If Governor Blease wanted to atta-k Senator Tillman he could not have selected a meaner, raoie contemptible or baser manner than . that "f accusing the senior senator of feebleness of mind. It is like a person making light of another's j physical deformities. Of course, no onp puffer's by the att i ck of Blease. The people of the the United States know full , well that while Senator Tillman is ^ in feeble health, his mind has nev er been impairedjand that he is still a giant in intellect. While l>lease may have some ex- '? cuso, if he had, although he has no grounds, for making the other charges, tlie.faot still stands out above all ethers that he jumped on i Tillman's physical weakness, sent 1 by a divine power, and attempted i to make political ammunition out 1 of another's misfortune. In intel- j lect. Senator Tillman is equal to an ( army of Blouses and the pity of it all that the governor cannot real ize this. - Spartanburg Journal. Lett " From Cold Spring School. Dear Mr. Editor: As we have not seen any letters from our school we have decided to write. Our school started Monday after three weeks vacation for Christmas. It was pre vented from starting last Monday by the sickness of our teacher, Prof. Asbill. We are glad to report that he is able to resume his duties at school again. Mr. Wallace Quarles bas moved to Parksville. Our loss is Parks ville's gain. Messrs. J. W. and C. F. McDan iel have recently gone into the mer cantile business. We wish them much success. Mrs. W. L. Quarles has been on the sick list for the last week. Mr. Henry Smith has purchased a new buggy. If she has not already said yes she will when she rides in that new buggy. Dr. Whitlock's brother from Philippi was among the visitors to our community on Saturday and Sunday of last week. Mr. W. L. Brown of Parksville made a flying trip to Red Hill Sun day.

Dunbar presided over a very spiritual and helpful Y. M. C. A. service last Sunday night. After prayer by Capt. Cain and the reading of Daniel 1, Mr. Orlando Sheppard delivered an eloquent, forceful and "right to the mark" address on "Fixed purposes." One of the many good things Mr. Shep pard said was that every young man should have a high platform wherewith to view life from. The Finding cf a ?ong and a prayer by Capt. Taylor closed this, one of our best, services. Dr. Jeffries again favored us with a talk last week. Mr. Bailey conducted chapel de votionals Friday morning and gave a splendid talk. His subject which he ably discussed was "Feeling Bad. Quite a irlooni was cast over the whole school by the reading of a special order dismissing cadets 0. F. Brasington and Wadsworth from the school last Wednesday^ for willfully breaking barracks dur- | ing night study hour and absenting Lhemselves from p. m. chapel- The cadets offered no excuse for so do ing and by a unanimous vote of Lhe faculty they were dismissed. Not a little excitement was caused iast Tuesday week by the discovery of tire at the graded school. Smoke ind flames were seen issuing from one corner of the roof but by the lelp of the rest of the cadets, ca 3et Kearse succeeded in extinguish ing it. It seems that the Parcel Post System is very popular even with :he teachers, for a map and mouse ,rap arrived the other day addressed io one of them, and the postage? why only 5 cents. Among the visitors at the college ast week: Mr. Madison Vam of holleton county; Mr. Willie A. Humphreys, Union county; Mr. Herbert Cheshire, Aiken. Col. Bailev was away last Satur lay.

The debate resolved "that the pen is mightier :han the sword" was lost to the legative. All the members on the program did their part well and faithfully. Special notice is made of ihe extemporaneous speaker. Next lebate has more new boys than old ;nes on it as contestants. Cadet S. tv.

She wrote: "In my indignation, I appeal to Cte help us poor mothers out. | enclosures will speak for them- j selves. Now this came through the mail to my little son not yet in bis teens. How can I, with three sons whom I am trying to rear into use ful, sober, good men, combat such villains, when our government al lows such temptations to be brought to our very firesides? They do not have to leave their mother's and sisters' presence to be tempted. Not one of my boys drink, but how long can I say that of my young sons, if this is permitted. Help me!" The problem of controlling whis key advertising is one with which congress must deal, and might well be considered in connection with the proposed Sheppard-Kenyon bill. That bill, as wre understand it, will not prevent a man from ordering whiskey for his own personal use, but will aid temperance forces in breaking up the blind tiger busi ness. What we can't understand, is that many parents are not only willing to let the circular letters from whiskey houses come to their boys, but will themselves pay pub lishers of money-seeking newspa pers to bring suck advertising into their homes. In other words they not only let newspapers that are traveling barrooms come to their homes and solicit patronage, but pay them to do it! Such papers as the Atlanta Constitution and Atlan ta Journal ought to be too decent to take such advertising, but if they are not, their readers should make them so by refusing patronage un til they reform.-Progressive Far mer.

All of them the farmer can get or give, too. Indeed, the farmer who neg lects his garden is lacking some of the finalities every farmer needs. Any man should be ashamed to live on a farm and then have to buy his potatoes, vegetables and canned goods. Of course, even tho best far mers may need to buy a few now and then; but this should be the ex ception and not the rule. It is the farmer's business to have these things to sell.-Progressive Farmer.

Edgefield Readers Should Learn to Keep the Kidneys Well. The kidneys hava a big work to do. All the blood in the body is coursing through the kidneys con stantly to be freed flof poisonous matter. It is a heavy enough task when the kidneys are well, but a cold, chill, fever or some thought less exposure is likely to irritate, in flame and congest the kidneys and interrupt the purifying work. Then the aching frequently be gins an.- is often accompanied by some irregularity of the urine-too frequent passages, sediment or re tention.
