LARGEST CIRCULATION IN
EDGEFIELD COUNTY.
Wednesday, July 8th.
Speechs cannot oe made long enough
for the spoakers, nor short enough for
the hearers.--PERRY.
Should Have Water.
Now that the town is on a building
boom, should not something be done to
provide protection against fire. So far
as we are informed, there is absolutely
no'means at haud for fighting fire ::n
Edgefield. Even the red-shirt colore d
fire company that used to hold??s
monthly meetings and parade in uni
form is not now in existence. The
chemical engine, we believe, has about
rusted out. It was a good investment
for the town at the time, saving prop
erty to the amount of several times its
cost.
Seriously, is it not time the people
of Edgefield '.vere providing a modern
water plant? Let the town own it as it
does the present light plant. The wa
ter rents would doubtless pay operating
expenses and a large portion of the
interest on s bond issue. The saving
in the form of reduced lire insurance
premiums would be enormous. At
present the rate is very high and when
our property catches fire we mus?
stand helplessly by and see it consumed
by the merciless flames.
Executive Committee Meei:ng.
The County Executive Committee
met at the Court House oil Monday,
the 6th inst. Tho following regu
lation was adopted with reference
to voting for Magistrate:
Tho inan.igers ave required to

Magistrate at each of the polling
precincts, and the managers are to
keep a separate poll list of those
voting for magistrate at each poll
ing precinct, md no one shall be
allowed to vote for Mai:istrat?' of a
Distriel except a resilient of that
Distric'; provided, that where the
membership of any club or preeincl
is made up ot voters from more than
one magisterial district that the
managers at such club or precinct ?
shall provide a separate box for
each magisterial District in which
such voters reside, and shall keep a '
separate poll list for each such box,
and shall allow voters to vote only
for Magistrate in the box for the
Magisterial D strict in which he re
sides. Separate ballots will be ?
printed for candidates for magis- <
trate of each District.
The schedule for County Cam
paign meetings was revised, and
two additional meetings provided '
for. Following is the revised sched- '
ult of campaign meetings: -

field.

tion and its value is appreciated by ,
the people. Whenever a scholarship

What Others Say
Lost Public Confidence.
It would take all of Detective Burns'
alleged powers of penetration tn finrl
anvbodv who believes in him now.
Dailv Mail.
Political Kot Personal.
A man running for an office has a
perfect 'right to attack the political
record of another, and noone can com
plain. -Abbeville Medium.
Plot a Necessity.
A wife and eight children left with
out support by the death of a father,
and whiskey was the cause of it. Yet
some people say we are obliged to have
it.---Abbeville Medium.'
i They "Drop" Too Late.
The expression, "the drop of a hat"
is old as the hills, but its full signifi
cance only dawned on us the other day
when we saw in a Main street window
a summer hat with this placard: "Was
$24.00; Now S4.9S. "-GreenvilleNews
A Substantial Saving.
If Congressman Lever is correct in
his estimate that his bill if it becomes
a law, will save $100,000,000 to cotton
producers, that would mean something
like $3 on each bale, which will be
quite an item in the pocket of the far
mer. But that is probably why the
bill will not become a ?aw.- Yorkville
Enquirer.
Protect Minority Stockholders.
We heartily agree with some of the
candidates for governor that some pro
tection should be given the minority or
small stockholders in the cotton mills.
It frequently happens that northern
[capital is brought here to assist in
building a mill. When once in the sad
Idle, these capitalists secure control and
afterwards nobody seems to know why
dividends are not declared nor why the
I stock depreciates below par. Different
j reasons are assigned. Why not find
out these reasons for a certainty and
then pian to correct them? Some law
ought to be passed for the protection
of the ?mn!! stockholders of the cotton
mill. If they are to lose tiieir stock,
let's, at least, find out who gets it.
