A fuller notice, including the cast of characters and sync psis, fcwill be given next week. S. C. C. I. News. On Fridav we played baseball with Aiken. Although our team tried their level best our side lost with a score of 7 to 4. The Aiken pitcher is about the best pitcher we have ever encountered on the held. In the game be struck out seven men in three innings. Our tine pitcher was nearly up to him hav ing one man less struck out than the Aiken pitcher. The game was exceedingly fine: a very large crowd being present. The cheering for both sides was both loud and good. In two more weeks we hope to play a return game with them and this time we hope to beat them if we can. Several more games with neighboring towns are being ar ranged.

I. vs. TRENTON Wednesday, April 9, 4 p. m. Admission 25c Young Cedar Creek Farmer Writes Interesting Letter. Editor The Advertiser: I will atr tempt to ?rive yon a few happenings from the immediate locality of Ce dar Creek. This is the name of the creek which runs through our farra for two miles. It rises in front of Mr. S. E. Morgan's home on lands owned by Mr. A. B. Covar, where the clay was obtained and hauled to Mile's Mill or pottery and made in to fine earthen ware many years ago. lt then runs in westward direction through Charlie Cheatham's place to Mrs. J. M. Cobb's Abney place, through Henry Cohen's, Mrs. Mary J. Norris and Mr. L. T. ?Uy's, the wide-awake merchant prince of Edgefield. Thence to Mr. J. A. Mays, the champion bird hunter and truck farmer, on through J. M. Mays', J. W. K. Smith's to C. H. Wells, the groat financier of Edge field county, almost to the equal of the late J. Pierpont Morgan in business prosperity. Thence to lands of Mr. Frank West, Hon. Thos. H. Rainsford and Dr. C. P. DoVore, who owns the hills and valleys of Cedar Creek and Horn's Creek by the thousands. Cedar Creek empties into Horn's Creek just below Dr. DeVore's old mill site. Now this is what I know of Cedar Creek. It runs through some as fine lands as ever a crow flew over. My school is not yet out, but I had to stop the first of March to take a special course in farming. We did uot do much ploding until the past ten days but have made good progress since then. We, com menced to plant corp on the 29th March and have .planted about for ty acres, only have about 10 acres more to plant. The oat crop is promising and more than usual was sown. We will not plant much cot ton. Have a special cotton and corn patch this year and will juin your corn club. I want to get into the bale-pen-acre-to-fifty-bushel class. I intend to make the improving of cotton and corn a specialty. Mr. J. R. Cantelou is plowing up the finest field of oats I ever saw. He surely wants a cotton crop to plow up those oats. The land was sown in oats last year than sown in peas then in fall bedded with two horse plow. The oats are ?-imply tine and are over half a stand. We want to plant some cotton seed by the 15th. Our neighborhood is taking on some new life. Mr. S. D. Mays, who is carrier on R. F. D. No. 2., has completed and mov ed into his cosy cottage on High Point Hill. He has a beautiful view of the surrounding vicinity. Mr. L. Yancy Bryan, that get-up aud-get cotton farmer, has bought a part of the Jasper Miller tract and cut every brier, bush, tree on it. He has broken it up thoroughly and harrowed same, then terraoed and ditched it. He has bedded it up and is now ready to plant in the best of shape. He says he expects to make enough clear over and above actual expenses to pay for the land this year. Mr. Bud C. Byran has bought Mrs. Sallie Collett's place and mov ed on it. He is doing some tine work there. Bud is a hustler. No doubt he will do well. , Mr. L. T. May has bought a place from Mrs. E. H. Talbert on the Boulevard road. Mr. W. E. Ouzts has had a quan tity of fine lumber eawed and has built a barn and will erect a mod ern cottage when bis crops are laid by this summer. Col. S. B. Mays and wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Kemp and family, Eddie Talbert and Mrs. S. D. Mays spent Sunday night with us. Mr. B. L. Helston and family spent Sunday with Mr. Bud Bryan anti family. This being my first letter will close wishing you and your good j paper much success and thanking you for the space and your patience. Fred L. Mays. OUGHT TO PAINT. I ought to have painted last year, but I hated to pay $2.25 a gallon. I've got to paint this year, it'll take a little more paiut; I suppose 1 gallon in 10; and a littlemere work, 1 suppose 1 day in 10. My job would have cont last year about $2.50; it is going to cost this year $55.00. $2.50 gone. I suppose it'll be the same again, if I wait again. What if paint goe? down to $1.75 a gallon? $2 50 on the job! I shan't wait; what a fool I was!
