EDGEFIELD, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1914 Need Merci-ant Marine. We are impressed with the impor tance of owning the ships that carry our products to foreign countries. Only vessois that fly neutral flags can ply the high seas now with any degree of safety, and the worst of it all is only a few measly merchant-men sail under the Stars and Stripes. It matters not how our industries may prosper while other nations are at war, it will be ex ceedingly difficult to export either raw material or manufactured products. Contribute to the Fund. A fund is being raised to enable South Carolina to display its resources, along with the other States, at the Panama exposition in San Francisco. In order that the work may be prosecuted sys tematically an organization has been effected known as the Sou th Carolina Exposition Commission. The men who are back of this very commendable un dertaking are representative business men from all parts of the State. The newspapers are also putting their shoul ders tc the wheel to the end that thc necessary money be speedily raised. As the exposition will open early next spring, there is but little time left for South Carolina to get everything in readiness for the exhibit. ^ In order that those who contribute to this fund may have something tangi ble as an evidence of their having had a part in making the South Carolina exhibit possible, the commission has had a number of bronze medals made and one will he given to each individual who contributes a dollar to the fund. The Advertiser has received five medals and will receive another shipment la ter. Will not the Edgefield people have a part in making the South Caro lina exhibit possible? Send us a dollar and we give you one of the medals. The names of the contributors will be published and the money sent to the treasurer of the commission in Co lumbia. White Town Dots. Mr. Editor:- It has been some time since I have seen anything from this part of the county, and I thought I would give you a few dots. We have had a good season, the best since April 19. Well, Mr. Editor, we will have the campaign meeting here on the 8tb to which we invite you to come and let the people see what sort of look man you are, as you know thal we are up here in this God-forsaken country where the people can't get out te see anybody. We hope you will come, as we expect to have a nice time if we can, although it seems that the cam paign meetings are getting to be failures. It looks as if the people have gotten so that they do not want a good, straightforward, hon est, law-abiding man to till our offi ces. I can't see what will become of our state if there isn't a change, for it seems as if it is about as bad as it was in '70. The time will soon ar rive to go the ballot box and for Heaven's sake, will the people try to think "How shall I cast my bal lot?" "Am I responsible for this state of affairs?" Hay Seed. Game of Baseball. Saturday will be a red letter day at. White Town. In addition to the political program, there will bc an athletic feature in thc form of a spirited gamo of baseball between the Cleora and White Town teams. Music on the handsome new school piano will also alford pleas ant diversion. It is quite probable that the attendance Saturday will be very large. It matters not how large, however, the good people will provide sufficient hash for everybody, and that of the best quality too. Enrollment For 1914 The following is the official en rollment of the 22 Democratic clubs of the county. 1013 1914 Bacon il 51 Clark's Hill 39 Cleveland 5? 75 Collier 85 76 Edgefield 1 202 l7e Edgefield 2 114 154 Hibler 47 53 Lee 102 179 Callison 201 144 Long Branch 127 113 Meriwether 83 92 Meeting Street 117 114 Modoc 41 Moss 97 86 Pleasant Lane 83 95 Parksville 60 Plum Branch 116 130 Red Hill 106 97 Rehoboth 42 39 Roperr 41 32 Shaw 151 148 South Hibler 41 50 Total 1861 2033 It will be observed that there are three neu clubs, Clark's Hill, Mo doc and Parksville, which have been formed of the old Washington club.

What Others Say Santa Claus Involved. If German's toy industry is also tied up, poor old Santa will have a lean pack this year.-The State. Hold Counter Caucus. The Governor having cus sed out the anti-Blease conference we may now look for another Blease caucus. -Green wood Index. Peace Palace in Daager. Carnegie would do well to take out some accident insurance on his peace palace at The Hague.-Greenville News. South Carolina's Late War. This is thr nearest to a real war the world has had since the closing days of the last session of the South Carolina legislature. -Spartanburg Journal. "Uncle Sam" Happy. Uncle Sam has plenty of muney, a most peaceful disposition, and his fu ture is altogether rosy, even if Europe does have a big row. - Charleston Post. Slaughtei of the Ignorant. The people who do the killing and the being killed in war have mighty little to do with bringing it on. They are only "food for power." Thousands of poor Europeans will "bite the dust" in this new war without ever knowing what it is about.-Newberry Observer. Citizenship and Neighborliness. The earnest desire to be a help to your neighbor and to be a factor in the citizenship of your state are far better indications of your worth than a big fortune. You are fortunate if you have accumulated wealth, but citizen ship znd naighborliness are more im portant.-Farm and Factory. "Cleaner, Better Town." No matter what sort of a town your town is, there can be no better slogan than, "A Cleaner and Better Town." No town can be as prosperous and happy as it ought to be while infested by bums and vagrants and idlers and blind tigers and other lawbreakers. The best town, big or little, is where the inhabitants are industrious, sober and Jawabiding.-Newberry Observer. An Eleventh-Hour Convert. There is trouble in the Blease camp over the evident leaning of the gover nor towards J no. G. Richards, the new convert. Candidate Simms has de scribed him as a turn-coat and coat tail swinger. Irby has also called him a coattail swinger. Neither of these candidates would like to see the "fat ted calf" killed for this man who has just come into the fold, while they have born the heat and burden of the day.-Newberry Observer. Smile Provokers 'I hope, said one wife to another, that you never nag your husband." "Only when he is beating the rugs. When he is thoroughly irri tated he makes a much better job of it." She-You vowed that it would be your aim to mak3 mv life naught but one of happiness! He-That's nothing! I believed it at the time myself.-Boston Tran script. "How is it, inquired a young bride of an older married friend, that you always manage to have such delicious beef?" "It's very simple, said the older woman, I first select ? good, honest butcher, and then I stand by him." "You mear ..:t, you give him all of your tr "No, J -n that I stand by him while ! cutting the meat." "i< is the duty of every one to make at least one person happy during the week, said a Sunday school teacher. Now have you done so, Johnny?" ''Yes, said Johnny promptly. "That's right. What did you do?" "I went to see ray aunt, and she was happy when I weut home." Bobby had been taught to re member all his relatives when he said his prayers. One night, as he knelt at his mother's knee, he did not mention the name of a favorite ? aunt. "Why, Bobby, said the mother, yon didn't say God bless aunt Be atrioe and make her happy." "Well, mother, replied the little boy, I don't have to say that any more. Aunt Beatrice's ^engaged." Ladies' Home Journal. A small boy who was sitting next I to a very haughty lady in a crowd ed subway car kept on sniffling in a most annoying manner. At last the , lady could bear ii uo longer and turned to the lad. "Boy, have you got a handker chief?" she demanded. \ Tho small boy looked at her for r a few seconds, and then, in a digni fied tone, came the answer. "Yes, I 'ave. but I don't lend it to strangers."-St. . Louis Post Ois- * patch.

Mistaken men have been waiting for paint to come down. The cost of their job has gone up not down; it always goes up by waitiug; never comes down. Better paint than Devoe? There isn't any. Suppose one had waited 20 or 30 years ago for a better paint than Devoe; how long would he have waited? How long would he still have to wait? The price a gallon makes some difference; yes, but not much; it's the paint that counts; the quality counts. It's the go-far that counts. Pro tection of property counts more yet. Bettor paint. Devoe.
