Edgefield's big building boom is now' on. The best antidote for Bolshevism is PROSPERITY. If this weather keeps up, we will hear some saaake yarns soon. It's a m?gt?ty good thing to "rise with the lark" these mornings. Try it. Many men who haven't paid the in- . come tax oj?ght to. Don't you think so? Glory k?! We'll have a short re- ' cess between coal bills and ice bills. The old ocean has some mighty precious freight on its bosom. Bon voyage to thura all! ? Augusta is gathering fame because a New Yorker worth $40,000,000 re cently died there. i The bread-winner is not having j such a hard time as formerly, but the | lot of the k?tter-winner is still a hard one. The sleeking sickness, legarthic encephalitis? is but an early manifes tation of "spring fever." An sid dis- ; ease by a aejjr mame. ! _ ,1 The reasw for our abiding interest in the hoate-^ming division is that ' Edgefield c^aty has about 20 sol- j di era in the. ?L*>h. Wouldst like to see some of i the young ladies who dress in the ! height of skirt style try to run down a chicken ?#? dinner? TheAmeri?aji people, minus a few I obstructing senators, are heart and ' hand with President Wilson in his advocacy mi ike League of Nations. ! We should all give thanks that de- ! structive cyclones and tornad ses never come this way. They pr-jve to , be very destructive to life and prop- ' erty in the west and south-west. j The best' news that can possibly be put upon the wires is: "Tue Thirtieth j Division has arrived in " Charleston." j Such a message is confidently expect-. ed by the ead of the week. If the war were still on, those who are making President Wilson's task more difficult would be called pro-; German. About the worst we can say for them now is that they are anti- ' American. The papers say the cotton market shows "activity and firmness." The raising of the embargo would imme- j diateiy take off the brakes and throw ' the market in high gear. Speed the day ! t j The "No beer-no work" resolution, ! effective after the 1st of July, is very foolish and will not be enforced. Such j an attempt to stay the tide of nation . al prohibition will be about as effect ual as an attempt to dam Niagara with a brick-bat.. Recently in a public address in At lanta, Ex-President Taft told the peo ple they never would vote for him but asked them to pray for him. Well, if a member of the Republican party is to succeed President Wilson, let us all pray that Mr. Taft will be the man. He has always been a good friend of the South. Already the schooh of the State have received a large slice of the money appropriated by the 1919 leg islature. Edgefield county has just received $2,100, with more to foUowl later. Money spent on education is the best investment that a people can make. The highest evidence that the Old Ship of State is sailing smoothly in safe waters is found in the announce ment that the State finance commit tee obtained a loan of $1,500,000 at z yate cf 3.70 per cent. Good fer tho State and good for thc finance com mittee! Pleasant Lane News. We regret to lear that Mrs. McKie Bailey is ill. Mesdames John Bailey and Tee Bailey of Cailison visited her last Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lanier spent Thursday with Mrs. Harrison. Mr. and Mrs. Alonso Norman and children of Greenwood spent the past week-end with Mrs. Parduc. A Lunch party was given at the Pleasant Lane school last Friday night. A neat little sum was added to the school fund in spite of the inclcm ? ent weather. j Misses Grace and Ruth Herrin of the Long Cane community were j week-end guests of thejr mother, ?Mrs. Julian Parkman. They were ac companied by their grandfather. Mr. ?Bledsoe. Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Manly visited the letter's mother, Mrs. Flinn, in Greenwood during the past week. ; SUBSCRIBER. . j Cotton go High if Embargo Off. That all cotton would sell at good prices if the embargo on the staple were lifted, is the opinion of Bernard M. Baruch, now attending the Peace Conference at Paris, as expressed in a letter to Senator E. D. Smith, who was a visitor in Columbia Wednesday afternoon. Senator Smith gave for publication some quotations from the Barueh letter. In speaking of trade conditions in Europe in connection with the Peace Conference Mr. Baruch said that the American economic commission at Paris "has been trying for a long time to increase the sales of Ameri can products here and have b?en met on every side with extreme difficul ties, the greatest of which i's the in ability to finance." He said that one day a decision is rendered and the next day it is withdrawn. Efforts to Sell Cotton. . | "Ever since I have been here," con-1 tinued Mr. Baruch, "I have been ac- J tive in trying to get the European people to take a large amount of cot ton. My efforts have not borne much! fruit, but something has been accom-1 plished. The Belgians have bought and financed through England; how much, I do not know. I am in hopes of having considerable quantities tak en in France and England. The Czecho-Slavs want about 400,000 bales to be sent to Prague. It is sim-1 ply a matter of credits. I feel certain j that if the embargoes would be lifted, i that all of the cotton could be sold at good prices. Every day's delay makes j a great difference to the poor South- j ern farmers and merchants who have ! been carrying the load without the protection the wheat growers have. | As you will understand there are I many reasons why I feel a great sym-1 pathy for the Souhtern farmer and I j know how hard you have been work- ? ing and how fair you have tried to ! be." lit speaking of President Wilson's connection with the Peace Confer ence and the estimation in which he is held by his conferees, the Baruch | letter says: "He has commanded the respect ; and admiration of everyone. His pow er of argument, his courteous ard calm manner, his firmness and his un faltering courage have easily made him the leading figure in the confer ence. Furthermore, if we are to get any kind of a peace soon, he must re turn immediately."-Columbia Rec-1 ord. . CARD OF THANKS. We adopt this means of expressing our sincere thanks and appreciation of the many kindnesses shown by our friends and neighbors during the prolonged illnes and death of our father. We are more deeply apprecia tive than we can express in words and hope some day to be able to give expression in some tangible way to those who have been io kind to us. J. M. Mathis. T. C. Mathis. C.

To All Whom These Presents May Concern: WHEREAS, Josephine Hammond ha3 made application unto this Court for Final Discharge as Administra trix in re the Estate of John Henry Hammond deceased, on this the 18th day of March 1919. THESE ARE THEREFORE, to cite any and all kindred, creditors or parties interested to show cause be fore me at my office at Edgefield Court House, South Carolina, on the 21st day of April 1919 at ll o'clock a. m., why said order of Discharge should not be granted. W. T. KINNAIRD, J. P. C., E. C., S. C. March 18th, 1919. A preparation now made and put on sale in this locality recently, to prevent punctures to automobile tires is offered for sale by Mr. J. G. Alford. The poods is known as "Col lins Rappid Sealer," and is sold under a guarantee to do just as claimed. ?ir. Alford, before taking .the a gency for thc goods, made some in vestigations and was advised by others who had used the goods for a bout L'.VO years, that it would un doubtedly prove very satisfactory to everyone that used it, as had been their experience. On another page in this issue of the paper, you will notice an adver tisement, telling you just what'the are and will do. Mr. Alford has had the goods in his tires fer eight weeks and says that it has proved more than satisfactory to him, he has driven nails in his ?ires to show the people just how it will I seal punctures without losing air and still he rides on the same tires every day \>ith no patches to be made. When Others Prosper. Farming is one of a very few oc cupations that gives more than it i promises. The young man who selects | ?farming as his life-work may not ac- j j cumulate as money as he expects, but ! ? if he prepares himself for his work ! ! and makes the proper use of his op- : i I jportunities he will get more in health, j contentment and happiness than he: : expected. It is true that many failto j get these, but generally that is be-j ! cause they do not care for such things and thus make poor use of their opportunities to obtain them. No occupation can advance the in terests of the state and nation faster than farming where large crops are I profitably grown and choice livestock iare raised. It is a business where no i ?one is injured because you prosper, ? ?but on the contrary, your prosperity j advances all legitimate business. The ; production of food is of paramount ; importance to all trades and indu? ustries, 'and he who produces that which sustains human life and pro- j j motes human efficiency is a true ben efactor. The time has come when the j producer will be duly appreciated: and he will be amply paid for efficient ? service.-Farm and Ranch. Forage Crops and Pasture Grasses. *Clemson College, March 1?--Two publications of the Extension Service are timely "just now in connection with the increased abd increasing in terest in all kinds of live stock in South Carolina and the reduction of the cotton acreage. These are Ext?n^ sion Bulletin 32, "Forage Crops in South Carolina," and Extension Bul letin 33, "Permanent and Temporary Pastures." The first of these contains in structions which should help to solve the stock feeding problems of the time and to suggest the wise use of some of the fand left from reduction of cotton acreage. Due'consideration is given in this bulletin to the double value of the various legumes as for age crops in furnishing excellent feeding values and in enriching the soil. Thc second publication deals with the necessity of good pastures, soil requirements, preparation, how to plant, and instructions how to secure best results in making pastures with the several pasture grasses. Both bulletins are by W. R. Elliott, formerly a district agent of the Ex tension Service, who is an authority on such matters. They are free, as long as they last, to all who ask for them. Drifting away, drifting away, We are drifting to Eternity's shore. Oh, can we ?jay we are ready To me^' cur dear Saviour in Heaven? Thc su., is fast sinking: Soon another day will be brought to a close, Can we say we have done some little deed of kindness, Helped someone on this weary road? Soon our life on this earth will be o'er, And we will be called to another shore. Will we be ready to meet our blessed Saviour, in that home above? Have we so spent our life while so journing 'here, In a pure and noble cause, And if our dear Saviour should call Us on the brea'k of morn, could we answer the call In that bright home above? I hear my Saviour's voice, He is calling me home. No more my weary steps, this Barth I'll roam, I shall soon join that happy band Of departed loved ones, And rejoice around His throne. C. M.
