117 Acres of Good Farming Land on Aiken road, three miles from Trenton. One of the best communities in Edgefield county. The soil is a red-pebble sand, and is in a high state of cultivation. It lies well and is easy to cultivate. The dwelling has four ro?ms with a hall, and is very pleasantly located in a small oak grove, with a good well of water, fruit trees and outbuildings, two tenant houses in good shape, and about 6 acres of bearing asparagus. This place is right ready for a man to make money on-there could be no better investment in the county. It will be sold cheap, so don't let this opportunity slip by you. Will be glad to show you over it at any time. DAVIS REALTY COMPANY EDGEFIELD, SOUTH CAROLINA . The High Cost of Fatigue. No ooo can rightly value labor saving machinery on the farm un less familiar with the effects of over strain and overwork. You may look at your health anc "Strength as a bank account; yoi can't draw on it forever witbou making deposits. In other words after a period of work during whicl more energy is expended than ii generated, one must have a perioc of absolute rest in order to regair the usual amount of energy-anc the greater the fatigue the longei the rest needed. With labor-saving machinery, J farmer cannot only do more work per hour but can with safety work longer hours because less human en ergy is expended and it therefore re quires less time for the worker tc recuperate. No one should work till utterly exhausted, for this in jures efficiency for several days. Real fatigue therefore costs money in reduced efficiency, doctor's bills and funerals, and from a money standpoint it is economy to reduce farm labor and drudgery to the min imum. And in this connection it is well to remember that not only does machinery return a cash dividend by reducing the cost of fatigue but so does anything which promotes rest, relaxation, and repose-such thing? as good music, bathing facilities, easy chairs, etc.,-and which there fore help the body to replenish the energy expended during work. How much is fatigue and "dog weariness" costing your family each year? What better way of saving money is there than to invest it in efficiency-promoting devices? Statement From Andrew Simkins. Mr. Editor of Advertiser: Dear Sir:-Will you please allow rae a small place in your paper to correct what I regard as a great in justice to rae? Now, Mr. Editor, the colored people of tbis community have been celebrating the Emancipation Proc lamation for years, and I have been their chairman for some time. We had decided or had arranged to hold our celebration on April 13. A committee, headed by Mr. J. H. Cheatham, met the committee of the 9th day of April, saying that they were sent from the Teachers' Asso ciation to inform us that they had decided to have a patriotic mass meeting on April 20. The com mittee, headed by J. H. Cheathara, asked that the two meetings be combined and held on the sama day to save time, which was agree able with both committees. After wards we went to the editor of the Chronicle and told him what we wanted, and to publish it in the next issue, which he did. Now, Mr. Editor, I see from your paper of April 3 a piece headed, "Mass Meeting," signed by J. Ii. Cheatham, board of Council of De fense, that the mass meeting "will take the place of the usual 9th of April celebration, wbich means nothing, and is empty in so far as any good that could be accomplish ed. Past events hoid nothing for us in this case." ?s'ow I want J. H. Cheathara to understand that he did not speak my sentiments as to the celebration of 9th of April, and I don t think the sentiment of the colored people of Edgefield county. I would have ignored J. H. Cheatham's announcement, but I see he signed my name to it. A. W. Sirakins. Close to Nature. In the great analysis of things, real life is made up of the simple things, generosity, kindliness, for giveness, sympathy and human un derstanding. In no field of endeaver is there so much need of this real life as upon the farms. Good common sense, character and integrity the farmers have and in quality the equal of that to be found in any other sphere of life. Always close to nature they partake of nature's wonderful fountain of the things that are best. It is only when we draw apart from nature that we become obsess ed with the things that are not best. Holding close to nature we keep close to each other. The whole philosophy of human brotherhood is based in human understanding. As we come to understand each other better we realize how depen dent we are, one upon the other; that in a number of minds there is apt to be a wider knowledge than is possessed by one mind; that co ordinated they will plan tho future better, solve vexing problems more easily, accomplish more by building with each other than pulling against each other. Cooperation, these days, is the key to progress.-Farm and Ranch. Additions to Methodist Church. The eDtire service of Sunday morning, March 31, was given to the reception and baptism of new members.
