For the past rew weeks the ba nanas sold in Elsefield have been superior to those that were shipped here earlier iu the season. This is probably due to the recent la:-?:c importations from Jamaica. Darin?: the past, month nearly 65,000 bunch es of bananas have been received in Charleston, which is the largest im portation for a like period on rec ord. Edge?eld is already receiving some of this choice fruit. Now Sole Owner. Mr. T. J. Paul hns purchased Mr. II. C.

Lost Heavily by Fire. About three o'clock Monday morning Mr. Wylie Glover, one of the leading farmers of the Meri wether section, awoke to find his barn enveloped in flames. It is be lieved that the building wa* struck by lightning. Mr. Glover's loss was about $2,500, with no insurance. In addition to the building, three mules, two valuable horses, corn, fodder, cotton seed, commercial fer tilizers and farm implements were burned. Mr. Glover came to Edge field Monday to purchase some stock to take the place of that which was burned. Ile came up Mr. Henry Cooper in the latter's car. Karly Monday morning a number of Mr. Glover's neighbors volunta rily came together and offered to render substantial aid in rebuilding his barn. This is an evidence of the high esteem in which Mr. Glover is held by the peopieof the commu nity. The Advertiser commends most heartily this beautiful spirit and substantial manifestation of sympathy. Ladies Hose, all tho new shades. Smith-Marsh Co. Will Serve Dinner. The Greenwood boosters, about 150 or 200 persons traveling in 40 or 50 automobiles, will reach Idge fielP by way of Parksville and Mo doc at one o'clock Friday. In order that the visitors may be properly cared for, and, too, seizing this op nity for making some money lor tue building fund, the ladies of the Hap:ist church will serve a pic nie and barbecue dinner. Dinner will be provided for 200 or more people and it will probably be serv ed in the same place and in about the same manner that the Upsbaw dinner was served.

' neighborhood is one of the few f. *mers who realizes the full value of stock on the farm, lie has a stock of hoirs that for profita ble results will take the blue ribbon over some with the big sounding names and long pedigrees. Will Ouzts has a 300-pound sow with 14 |)i?rs, which is the second litter within 12 monihs. She never has less than a d'i/.en. A last-June pig of this faith fui old sow also had pigs last February (at nine month* of age) and Mr. Ouzts sold these for$16. If he can continue the record he is makin"- he had better purchase about a /.cn sows and leave off cotton a1 toi. "nur. Tho best part of it all is Will makes enough corn to feed every mouth on hit* farm. Negro Shot Saturday Night. It seems that two negroes, Will Steadham and Rich Hamp, both residents of Edgefield, had a dis pute or quarrel over a small debt Saturday afternoon. Saturday night Will went to the home of Hamp near Macedonia church and resumed the quarrel af ter entering the house. After the passing of angry words HauiD took his pistol from a drawer j and tired twice upon Will, one ball taking effect in the arm and the other in his side. It is Slid that Will was in the act of drawing a pistol at the time he was fired up on. Will was operated on and his ?intestines were found tobe pur. bur ied in 19 places, necessitating the removal of two short sections of the intestines. At this time ho is still living but thu chances for his recovery are slim. Hamp suirender ed to tin; sheriff Sunday.

It was very gratifying to the ?d?o?eld people, particularly those vho weredireetly interested in the uccess of the play, to see so many >ersons from Johnston in the andi mce Monday night, which is but >ne of the many evidences of the rery cordial relations that exist be ween the two towns. Instead of >eing jealous and envious of the mccesB of each other, as are some mill towns, Johnston and Edge ield rejoice at each others success. )nr people must remember the iplendid patronage which the people if Johnston gave the Deestnck >kule and when an entertainment s announced for Johnston our peo ile must in turn patronize it large y. We feel sure that such will be he case. Thc Advertiser stands .eady to make any announcement jor.oerning any entertainment that ?hat the good peoplo of Johnston nay undertake. Thrown From Horse.

While riding from ber home to town the stirrup brokp, causing her to lose control of the horse which was ge ing at a rapid gait. When opposite tho Grice Hotel Mrs. Sheppard was thrown against a wagon as the horse tamed. She was carried at once into the Grice Hotel and a physician summoned. At first it was thought that she had sustained se rious injuries as a result of the violent fall, but upon making an examination the physician stated that there was no serious or perma nent injury Mrs. Sheppard ts an experienced rider and would not have fallen had not the stirrup brok en. The day after the fall she was removed to her home and will be able to be out in a few days. Men's silk hose at 25o. Smith-Marsh Co. DECIDE YOURSELF. The Opportunity is Here.

The cow boy, the cow frog, the cow dog, the steer and the milk cow. The only cow that counts for much is the milk cow. John Bull who comes to school must be a cow boy, because his maw in name Sallie cow and he is not a 'milk cow. Cow boys and steers is kin somehow. Steers is not very good for milk. Daniel Webster says that the cow is a illustrated animal containing milk. Besides we get cream, clabber, butter, buttermilk, cheese and whey out of the cow- The cow carrie? her milk around in a bag, and gives out a little every night and morn ing. I don't know how the cow get? ihe milk in her bag but we have to work hard to get it out. When wa get it all out she is dry and it takes her a long time to till up again. The cow always gets to be a grass wid ow, because her husband quits her and then she has to live on gras*. We handle the King Quality oxfords for men.
