LARGEST CIRCULATION IN EDGEFIELD COUNTY. u_ Wednesday, January 21st. o o One is never more on trial than in the moment of excessive good fortune. -LEW W4 LL ACE. In the matter of sentences, the circuit judge imposes and the gov erner disposes. /'Women of England to Becrin Vigorous Suffrage Campaign" headlines. Pray, how would you .peak of their past efforts? Gen. Carranza is suffering from lumbago. The general has found there's 'something worse, than contending with recalcitrant Mexi cans. "Girlcotted" is one of the new words that bears the imprint of The State's brilliant paragrapbist. hut we do not expect to see it ap plied to chewing gum or bar gain counter >. - When the nruoh-mooted rural credit system is perfected and put into practical operation it will not be difficult to induce the city chap? to return to the farm. Their city credit has played out. But for tho active efforts of! the Daughters of the Confed eracy the major portion of the j South would never know that Gen. Lee had a birthday, or when it was at least. Monday rwas cel ebrated as the anniversary of Lee's birthday practically all over the State by these patrioic women. There is more home-grown corn being offered for sale in the count\ this year than ever before. Hasten the day when not a grain of west ern corn will be shipped into the county! Edgefield has the land, the labor and the intelligence for mak ing an abundance of corn. Then why not do it? Not one year, but every year. Honor the Living Also. The Advertiser would not de tract one iota from the honor that is paid the immortal Lee and other Confederate heroes. Let their mem ory be perpetuated in song and sto ry and in marble and brass, as well as continue to be enshrined in the hearts ot our people, but let not the pendulum swing so far in the di rection of hero worship that we for get and neglect the living. There are men and woolen fighting the practical battles of life, veritable heroes in the strife of to-day, that are as deserving of honor as an\ who ever drew sword in defense ol country. I Notable among those who are living who should receive a just roeauure of praise and honor are those who were ptivates in Con federate ranks. Men who, instead of wearing epaulettes and other insignia of office, endured without a murmur the hardships of sever est warfare. Let these be presented with flowers in the form of thought ful acts of kindness, and perhaps in Borne instances substantial com forts, while they yet live, rather than reserve them all to adorn the mound that shall soon mark their last resting place. Let's honor Lee and Jack-.on and all of the other brilliant stars in the Con federa te: &>UsifeIl*tio%... but at the sara,* tioae'let; uVriot forget the lesser lights that played just as im portant part in the great straggle. - ~ ? -? ? A C?nuaendable Aha and Purpose. It is: probable that the ruial schools of Edgefield county will compare favorably with those oi other counties, and yet there is scarcely one of the seventy-odd schools that could not in some par ticular be improved, if the efforts of teachers, trustees and patrons ware concentrated to that end. Several days ago the editor of The Advertiser received a letter ? rom a t *acber in the county which contained a foot-note .which ran hus: "I am trying: to make my -chool the best rural school in the county." I? not this a commenda ble ambition? How many other teachers in'the county will resolve ?arly in the present session to make their school the best in the county? vVere all to make an honest effort, ? hj condition of the rural schools would be wonderfully improved .ind the cause of education would be greatly advanced. A school is largely what the teacher or teachers make it. If they aro willing to drag along in the old way, never introducing any new ?deas cr new features, they will have a school of the "old field" type. We do not mean to I i.v that the teacher is altogether responsible for the condition of the school, for in order for a school-to be all that it should be it mat re ceive the loyal and active support of trustees and patrons. In most caces, however, if the teachers man ifest an aggressive spirit, one too of dissatisfaction with present con ditions and achievements, the trus tees and patrons will soon fall in line and put their shoulders to the wheel. Teachers, try it by ?esolving, and putting iuto ezeoution your reso lution, to make your school "the best rural school in the county." Rev. George A. Blackburn, of Columbia, Gives Out a State ment Regarding the Matter. Although the family of Rev. P. P. Blalock, for many years pastor of Baptist churches in Edgeheld county, joined the Presbyterian church with him their action bad nothing to do with the Rapwut min ster leaving the Baptist church, stated Rev. George A. Blackburn, a member of the Charleston Presby tery and pastor of Arsenal Hill, Presbyterian ch ireh. Regarding the chantre of relitri ouB belief of Mr. Blalock, Dr. blackburn made the following statement: The reasons he gave the presby tery for making the change were substantially-that be bad reached the conclusion that congregational government was not Scriptural; that the covenant of grace embrac ed the children as well as the pa rents; that the children, therefore, ought co have the benefit of the seal of the covenant, which is baptism; that the arguments for sprinkling, laking the Obi and New Testamente together, seemed to have the pre ponderance over those of immersion aw the mode of baptism; arid thai his views on systematic theology, which he bad learned in past at the Columbia Presbyterian seminary under Dr. Girardeau, were in accord with the Presbyte nan church. He expressed great love for the church he was leaving, for its faith ful members and it* Godly minis ters, but felt that since his mind had become clearly settled on the questions above raentioued, it wan bis duty to his God, his church, and himself to make such changes as truth and honor buptrested. Mr. Blalock was comfortably sit uated in his own church, he was in good standing with his own breth ren, he is not dependent on his min istry for a living; no church or po sition has bein offered him in the Presbyterian church, so that hi> change is made at great personal ?aerifica, and is a tribute to the power of conviction in the human soul.-Columbia Record. Card of Thanks. I desire through the columns of The Advertiser to thank my friendo who assisted me while I was work ing as a contestant in the rece?? ?ontest of The Advertiser.

"Theodore Roosevelt will be a can didate for the Presidency in 1916 if the people want him,'' says Jacob Riis, the Colonel's friend and mentor. Wowe .han that, Jake! He will be a candidate if thp PPOPIP don't wan't him.-Co lumbia Record. When Happiness Fails. When happiness is exclusive, just confined "to me and my wife, my son John and his wife," it is selfishness in the extreme and is as far from real happiness as the light of a smoky lamp is from tlie glorious, all-embrac ing sun light.-Spa rt an burg Journal. Can't Enforce Deciaion. . A Missouri judge rules that the hus band is boss of the home.

The commissioners of a Kansas coun ty refused poor relief to a family be cause they kept a number of dogs. Score one for Kansas. In several States we could name the noun' dog, directly and indirectly, is responsible for more poverty than almost any oth er one cause.-Charlotte Observer. Smile Provokers ^ At a fancy dress ball two ladies, who were attired in ordii sry even ing dress, were present. The butler a?ked in what characters he should announce them. "Oh, no particular character," said one of the new comers. Whereupon the servant announc ed loudly. . ..., "Two ladies of no particular character!"-London Telegraph. Little Alice was to speak in pub lic for the first time at a Sunday nc hool concert. When it came her turn ?die arose and walked across the platform very bravely, but be ing seized with a sudden attack ol stage fright she could not find her voice. Something cai: e up in her throat, making her gulp and swal lo v, but no little poem was forth coming. Finally, turning a frightened face to h*r teacher, she gasped. Tve swallowed my piece." A man who kept a small shop was. wailing on a single customer early one morning, according to the Ladies' Home Journal. His little boy and he were alone st the time, and the shop i eper was obliged to go upstair* forborne change. Before doing ao bo whispered to the little ohap to watch the oustomei, to see that he didn't steal anything. Very soon the proprietor return ed with the necessary change, and the boy sang out: "He didn't steal anything, Pa; I watched him." The Washington Star relates thal apropos of Senator Depew's declara tion that in his young days in Peek skill marriages were very happ.\ and comfortable on $1,000 or so a year, Millicent M. Atwood in an anti-suffragist address in Ballimore, said: "The cost of living is 'nigher now ihan in Mr. Depew's young days] and it is impossible for a Bryn Mawr or Vassir girl to live a hap py married life on $1,U00 a year. A Vassar girl once refused a $16 a-week bank clerk. He groaned and said : ' You wring my heart." "I'd rather wring your heart than wring your clothes, the Vassar girl ital roly answered."

Editor The Advertiser:- I bav? teen thinking of writing and giving v m a desertotit n of my tr'p to th' .oatM'in at Chattanooga las'.

H ?H from foveral old friend* in EdgenYln Tuesday morning a friend mat was iving in Tennessee and raysei went out to the Chickamauga bat tletield and spent most of the daj out only saw a small part of it. Ii .vould have taken two or three days 'n'have sr? ne over all of it. Tbe.\ have marked everywhere showing tue different positions of each side, g vine names of the command b.\ * hora attacked and if repulsed giv ipa: punition of next formation There are cannon in position no? just ai they were during the fight Some placea you find a battery 01 the yankee linei and a hundreo y ?rda from there you will find on< of our batteries showing the po*i lion of our battery after we hao driven them from their position, but a mau that was not in the fight leonid not tell anything about it Some places the Hues would run north and south and next fomation would be at right angle.s. I would write more that I saw on the battle field but I want to give a descrip tion of my trip up Lookout moun tain. Wednesday morning we went out to Lookout to go up the incliuc, but there was such a crowd we con cluded we would climb the moun tain. We found plenty of company on the way both men and ladies, but very few old vets. It took about an hour to make the ascent. We found the positions of the pickets on both sides marked. On the night before they tamed our left flank in one place. They were not over for y or fifty yarda apart. We saw the po sition of our gun on the point. Next to the river after looking around until about two o'clock we started down and got to the Nash ville and Chattanooga depot in ??c?e to take the train lo Normandy, stayed there until the morning of June 3rd and went to Nashville and down to Franklin which is a very pretty place now. I started to look for the position we took in the breast works. The town has spread out beyond where the breast works srere, bat the old Carter house and smokehouse look just as they did ihe morning after the fight. The old bullet marks on the brick are there yet and in the dwelling on one side lhere a few boles but on the Otherside the holes are thick. After leaving the bouse we went oui to the edge of town and at a saw mill I was inquiring if any one could tell me where the hack berry iree stood on the rifle pits where we -tarted to make the charge, but no one could g.ve me any iuformatio ? The gentleman I was talking tu alter he found out I was in the tight gave me five or nix bulle ? that had been picked up on ihe field. From there we went out to the cemetery where all the Confeder ates are buried. T?ereare 51 graves in the South Carolina dividion. The 'beadiiones are numbered and ini tials on the first five belonged to the 16th regiment, Numbers 6, lieutenant J. D. Padgett, C>. 1 24th S. C. V.; 7, J. A. Rochelle, Co. I.; 8, Daniel Walker, Co.

Garrie*, Co. E ; 33, J. A. Jonen, Co. B. ; .46, lieutenant Col. Jesse Jones. This is the list of the killed in the 24th that had the graves mark ed. There were several graves mark ed unknown I have a list of ali names in the 15th, 16th, 19.h and .jui h regiments. In the evening there was a large gathering at the cemetery to decorate them and every grave had a bouquet or a wreath of flowers on it. I want some of our old company to meet me at Jack Honville, Fla., next April if we are spared that long. I wish some of them would write lo me.
