We buy direct from tbe factory in large quantities and can sell you just as low as any merchant in the state. Drop in to see us. Wilson & Cantelou.

The editor of The Advertiser passed over the now steel bridge across Tui key creek at Reynold'? ford Sunday afternoon for the first time. It is a splendid structure and will be an enduring monument lo the business-like administration of Mr, W. G. Wells, who as supervis or let the contract and began the construction of the bridge before his term of office expired. A Decision of U. S. Supreme Court Concerning Overdrafts. The following is a decision that has been handed down by the United States supreme court concerning the over checking of an account with a bank: "A usage to allow customers to over draw and have their checks and notes charged up without present funds in the bank, stripped of all technical dis guise, the usage and practice, attempt ed to be sanctioned, is a usage and practice to missapply the funds of the bank; and to connive at the withdrawal of same, without any security, in fa vor of certain privileged persons. Such a usage and practice is surely a mani fest departure from the duty, both of the directors and cashier, and cannot receive any countenance in a court of justice. It could not be supported by any vote of the directors, however for mal; and therefore, whenever done by the cashier, is at his own peril and upon the responsibility of himself and his sureties. It is anything but 'well and truly executing his duties as cashier. ' " A Credit Guide. A t. te B ti on is directed to the ad vertisement in this issue of the Merchants' Credit Company. For more than a week a representative of this company has been ic Edge field arranging with the leading merchants to issue a credit guide. The names of all persons who have accounts with Edgefield merchants will be published in a book, and their standing with reference to reliability, promptness in payment, and. how many accounts they owe, will be given opposite their names. The honest man gains rather than loses, by having wider publicity given to the fact that be is honest and prompt in meeting his obliga tions. It is the dishonest man who will suffer and who should suffer before he deliberately defrauds other men who are considerate enough to extend him credit. Through this guide the merchants who are subscribers will know practically how much every person owes and too just how prompt he is in paying accounts at sto?es. The plan is a good one. Nobody suffers but the dishonest man and he should be exposed. The individual who will deliberately make accounts at stores knowing at the time that he does not intend to pay for the goods is stealing from the merchant. It would not be worse if he went behind the counter and stole the goods while the merchant's back was turned. Wonder how many ?u?ividuals will be "black listed" as a result of the issuiug of the credit guider" Have Returned to China. After being in the home land for nearly two years, Rev. aud Mrs. E. T. Snuggs left Monday morning to resnme their missionary work in Canton,China. Saturday afternoon from five-thirty to eight o'clock the members of the Baptist church ten dered them a farewell reception. Dr. M. D. Jeffries was master of j ceremonies. Appropriate remarks were made by Rev. E. C. Bailey, Rev. J. R. Walker, Rev. P. P. Blalock and J. L. Mitns, and tu these "words of good cheer, encour agement and affectionate farewell Rev. Mr. Snuggs replied feelingly. He was so completely overcome with gratitude for the many kind nesses bestowed upon them by the people of Edgefield aud HO greatly depressed by the thought of soon parting with their dear children that it was difficult for him to speak. More than a score of let ters containing farewell greetings from Edgefield friends were pie sented to them with the reque-t that they be not opened until they have boarded the ship in New York harbor. Other letters will be writ ten before their sailing day ar rives. The reception was largel yat tended and was exceedingly pleasant in spite of the sadness incident to the going away of these dear friends. Delicous punch, icecream and cake were served. Before hailing from New York some time in May, Rev. and Mrs. Snuggs will fill several engage ments in this state and in Ken tucky, and will spend a few with Mrs. Snuggs' sister in Michi gan. They will visit a brother of Mr. Snuggs on arriving in London. Their three children, Harold, Faith and Roland, have been left in America to be educated. They are attending the S. C. C. I. at present, and will probably attend school in Greenwood under the supervision of Col. Bailey next year. Rev. and Mrs. Snuggs have the prayers and good wishes of hundreds of friends in Edgefield and throughout Soutli Carolina. Drive Sick Headaches Away.

Lawyers and Blind Tigers. In writing of the blind tiger situ ation in Spartanburg The Journal of that eily does not mince words. Weare especially interested in the following: "How is it here in S partan burg';1 Public sentiment if not strong enough to make blind tigers pay I the fiues or go to the cb ai ngami. Hore in this city a blind tiger may be as guilty as he can be and it is certain that he will continue the work. There are lawyers, who, by appeal or otherwise, will have the sentence held up and the blind tig er will give bond aud resume busi ness in twenty-four hours. The j lawyer who perverts justice when I he knows his client is guilty of sell ing liquor and who knows that he will continue the business, is as bad as the blind tiger." We certainly agree with The Journal as to the guilt of the law yer, who, knowing that a blind tig er is guilty, perverts justice to ge?, the tiger freed. We believe that he is the guiltier of the two, and he is certainly as low down and deserves to be classed with the iawless and disreputable. We believe that tl.e time is coming when it will be im- ! possible to find a lawyer who will j take a blind tiger case. Very few ! of them will do it now, and as a j rule the ones who do hive not a very ; enviable reputation. -Greenwood Journal. --- Grove School Closes-Death of Mrs. Parkman. I Your correspondent attended tl e closing of the Grove school last Friday night. The exercises con sisted of recitations, dialogte?, tab leaux ;nd music. The children did their part well.

Mrs. Parkman was among the oldest members of Red Hill church. She lived a consistent Christian life. She leaves five children and a host of friends and loved ones to mourn her loss.
