Deeply Grateful.
We are profoundly grateful for
the numerous very kind expressions
that have come to us since the last
issue of The Advertiser was pub
lished, which contained ourpersonai
statement concerning thc report a.?
to our receiving lary;e sums lrotn
the government for services ren
dered. These expressions have been
?ade by many friends in person
and through letters. This extract
from a letter written by a business
man in the county, who is not only
without a peer among his fellows
but whose good opinion is sought
by many, is highly appreciated:
" I read your 'Personal Card' in
last week's paper, and am writing
a word to express to you my dis
gust and feeling of shame that any
?ne would so far forget himself a*
to suggest the idea that you 'are
gettingjich at the expense of the
government.' 1 wish you would
pay no furlhei attention to such
talk. No good and true man be
lieves them. These rumors do not
deserve the dignity of a passing no
tice." .

Lines Upon Departure of Pop
ular Edgefield Soldier.
There is a boy who's name is "Rim,"
A good old guy ia he.
But now lie's left and gone to war
To fight for liberty.
How hard it ia to give him up,
For he's so clear to us.
But off to France he soon'Will go
And help settle all this fuss.
When we go back io Edgefield,
And see where he has trod.
Our hearts are deeply sarkier.
Still he's in the hands of Col,
When wa see the old Oil Mill,
The place where he lovod to work.
It makes our hearts rejoice and leap
To know nothing he would shirk.
"Rim"' worked hard at the Mill
Many, many, hot summer days,
And by his will he worked his way,
Up into all our praise.
He's working now for Uncle Sam,
A good and worthy man
And in the name of God we give
This sacrifice for our homeland.
Now that he has left us.
And sad our hearts may be
We still remember dear Old "Rim"
And imitate such a boy as he.
We trust the cruel war will soon end
I At last the victory won,
"Rim" and all-^he boys come back,
? Then America will be proud of her
sons.

"She had been in really bad
health for over a year when tdie be

The Fiils That Do Cure*
FICKLE FORTUNE
By WAVERLY JOHNSON.
Burton Wayne left the train at
South Jnuetion and started down the
roadbed bael: t-be way he had come.
He had been dosing when the conduc
tor ealled out Wadham* and had been
carried tiro miles beyond bis station.
The roadbed was stone ballasted
and not easy to the feet. Wayne,
glancing down the embankment, no
ticed that tile right of way was bound
ed by a fence. Then came a strip
about two hundred feet wide and then
a travers! We dirt highway, Wayne
descended.
He observed that (his strip of land,
extending for a mile or more, was of
spongy soil not fit even for grazing,
exeept whore a little knoll presented,
and opon this was a small house ono
story high, square and compact, un
ideal of usn mess and taste in the cen
ter of an mri ting patch of worthless,
useless ground.
The house was painted freshly and
ft shone ai a rc.Trtt of the use of ex
ee?ent material ami expert workman
sl?p. Warnie WAS thirsty and noticed
a weil, turned from the road and as
IK? went op a graveled path the op
parent owner of the place appeared nt
the ?pet? dm>rwny.
He was a middle aged man. erect,
aefire looking and dean appearing.
He wore whits crack jumpers and over
alls ami they were immaculate. Like
the exterior of the house he seemed
Just to have stepped from a paint
pot.
"Can I have a drink of water?" be
gan Wayne, ?nd paused, dazzled, as If
all he saw was part of some moving
pieturo. Another character in its en
semble Had appeared. This was a
young girl of perhaps eighteen, a tin
paii in her hand, headed for the well.
She was a fitting and harmonious pnrt
of the pleasant prospect. Trim, grace
ful, arrayed io a pretty calico gown,
she emphasised the wholesome aspect
of tho environment.
"Sit down, won't yon?" invited
Wayne's host, and moved towards a
garden bench uear by. "Bound for
Wadham?"
"Why. yes," explained Wayne. "I
slept past my station and will have to
foot lt back."
"W?fU, if yon aren't ic a hurry I
fancy we caa holp you or. your way.
My daughter, Cora, will drive to Wad
ham in about half an hour. She's
taken up drawing at the college there."
Ju?t then th? girl appeared with a
glass pitcher filled with sparkling well
water and a glass. Wayne arose and
bowed politely and the manner of the
girl, like that of the father, was friend
ly and pleasant.
She left them and Wayne heard her j
chirrup t<> a horse grazing near a j
small barn outside of which stood a
single seated gig. He glided info a
general conversation with his host.
David T'.ayl? was his name.
"You see. T was a painter, in the
city." narrated Rogers. "Not an ar
tist-no. Gora seems to have all the
genius in that direct inn. Scenes, most
ly, mine, and big landscape stuff for
pleasure parks, band stages and all
that. We were cooped up and it
didn't give Cora a show. A slick fel
low came along and traded me this
stretch of territory for my business.
I took hts word as to what you see j
here. He said the land was rigid at
a janet ion that was the railroad key
to tho county and bound to be very val
uable in time. Well, he swindled US.
that's all, and we've made the best of
St I've got a little ready cash, hut
pining for something to keep me busy,
and Cora is lonesome."
"How far do you own along the
railroad ?" Inquired Wayne.
" .n OTen rrule. There's Cora. Tf
yon won't mind the jolting, it'll he
envier in ttie old jri? than tramping it."
sin* was the pleasantest, brightest
little fairy Wayne lund ever met. this
clear-eyed, dimpled girl, and by the
time they reached Wadham, they were
quite friendly. lu ber simple way
she told of her school life, her artistic
ambitions, bar hopes that they could
got rid <#>f U>e land and .settle in some
Jess miovili?cd spot
"It's fate' ' soliloquized Wayne. That
same afternoon late, as he made his
way to the place where Miss Dayle
pot up tlw ris.
"It's love at first sight!" be added,
as she appeared.
"1 am going to ask you to drive nie
ba'ek to your home." he told the young
girl. "You see. I have some business
wfjh your f^her."
Thu '.'business" Wayne had worked
up over long distance telephone. A
bis: io>a had struck him.
"I represent, the largest billboard ?
concern In the world," be told the
wondering father and daughter. 'Vnd
the minute I analyzed your layout
here I saw a big speculation. Your
narrow strip vs Ideal for putting up a
whole raft of display digas. Junction,
hundreds of trains daily, gateway to
the city-sec? You. Mr. Sayle, shall
superintend the painters, and you.
Miss Kayle, must sketch out some
artistic scenic effects to eaten the eye.
I have phoned my house. Mr. Kayle,
and am ready to make a ten-year lease
of your jiatch of ground at $.'?.0(X) n
year. What do you say?"
"Well. I'd sell lt outright for half
of that!" blurt^l out the honest old
fellow.
"Never mind that," responded
Wayne, "I want to see you get a fair
and square bargain. You can move
to town after that job ls done and live
as you wu nt ti."
And Ly the time that came about.
Burton Wayne was a member of the
Bayle household.
