Mass Meeting Called. The Advertiser has been requested to announce that a mass meeting will be held in the Court House Fri day afternoon at six o'clock for the purpose of considering ways and means of providing a new hotel for Edgefield. As this is one of the town's greatest needs, the meeting should be well attended. Baptist Services Sunday. During my absence next Sunday, Kev. W.M. Whiteside^, superinten dent of the Baptist Hospital, will preach in my stead. As pastor, I urge all to be present at the morning' ser vice at 11:30 and the evening service -at nine o'clock. Let all come and serve God. I shall be grateful for faithful service during my absence. ROBT. G. LEE, Pastor. I -: Notice to Hunters. Before hunting, all persons must procure their license. No person is allowed to hunt anything without a license. I have licenses on hand and will issue them to all applicants for $1.10 for county and $3.25 for State, non-residents for $15.25.

Next Monday and Tuesday an op portunity will be given prospective home builders to purchase desirable lots. An auction sale as advertised in a page advertisement in this issue will be conducted by^the South At lantic Realty Company. Read care- jJ fully the property that is listed and I attend the sale. Doubtless there are i1 persons residing now in the country!' who contemplate moving to Edgefield. : If so, now is the time for them to,* secure one or more desirable lots. J _ c An Old-Fashioned Barbecue. J Wednesday afternoon Mr. George ? ^ W. Adams invited half a hundred j young people out to his "Breeze I Hill' farm to enjoy an old-fashioned;, barbecue. He engaged an experienced 1 chef who prepared and served the feast in the most approved manner. At the close of the feast all went into the residence where passed several very pleasant hours "tripping the light fantastic" to the bewitching strains of a victrola. The occasion was one of rare pleasure to all who were honored with invitations. fe., - .Work Soon to Begin. "Material is being placed in the lot ?near the Baptist church for the erec tion of the parsonage. Instead of en gaging a contractor to furnish the material and complete the building for a given sum, the building commit tee will purchase the material and employ the labor, having engaged Mr. James Langston to superintend in the work. Mr. Langston is conceded to be one of the best workmen Edge field has ever had and the committee bat. made no mistake in securing his services. He did much of the work on the new church. Very Early Sweet Potatoes. C. W. Watson, the champion po tato raiser and plant distributor, brought us the largest new crop sweet potatoes of the famous Porto Rica variety which grow extra early and very large. Unlike many other kinds, they cook sweet when first dug. This is the kind that he ha.i sold a very large number of the plants o /er Edgefield and other counties the past season. Better see Mr. Watson now about supplying your plants for next season. Must Have a Hotel. What will become of the strangers who come within Edgefield's gates if the town has no hotel accomodations? It is within the range of probabilities that the Hotel Dub?se may close its doors to the public. Under present conditions no one can blame the pro prietor for adopting such a course. Then, what will people do who are forced by circumstances to spend the night here? Private homes will be closed to' them. Edgefield should and must have a modern hotel. Likes Edgefield Better. Mr. Osmond Williams who has been making his home in Blenheim, Marl boro county, during the past year, came to Edgefield this morning from Columbia where he has been with Mrs. Williams who underwent a sur gical operation at the hospital Mon day. She stood the operation splen didly. Upon being asked how he liked Marlboro, Mr. Williams stated that Marlbof o is a good county bue Edge field is a better one. He will probably remain a year longer in the Pee Dee section however. Mr. Williams has gone to Cleora to visit his father, Mr. C. M. Williams. . Capt. George B. Lake. In its report yesterday of the Con federate re-union which is being held in Greenwood this week, the Index contained the following paragraph which is of interest to The Adver tiser's readers: Capt. C. A. C. Waller vouches for the truth of this incident of the late George B. Lake, of Edgefield. When the explosion took place at the Cra ter one of the men said that as he was blown up in the air he met a man coming down who cried out, "Rally, boys as soon as you hit the ground." The cool headed speaker was George B. Lake. Increased Capital Stock. The charter of the Bank of Tren ton empowered the institution to is sue stock to the amount of $25,000 but up to this time the bank has is sued only about $16,000- in stock. Tuesday 3 meeting of the stockhold ers was held for the purpose of in creasing the paid-in capital to $25, 000 and all of the new issue was tak en in less than a day. The par value of the stock is $50 per share but the accumulated surplus has made the stock worth $85 per share and the new stock was issued on that basis, the premium being passed to the sur plus account, making the paid in cap ital now $25,000 and the surplus 517,000. The Bank of Trenton has been well managed and its volume of business has steadily grown. 1 Letter of Smypathy Received by Mrs. Carrie M. Bailey. Greenwood, S. C. Vly d?ar Friend: .

W. .R HOYT. J. W. Geraty, a truck planter of South Carolina, declared that if the proposed duty was made effective the cost of potash would be prohibitive to farmers. He told the committee that to produce nearly normal crops the first year the German supply was cut off because of the accumulated a mount in the land, but said that for the second year the yields fell off 30 per cent and that this year crops on land for which potash was necessarv would be only 25 to 30 per cent of normal. The American product, he said, is inferior to foreign potash. We are making a special offer in Pennsylvania ebony tread tires while they last- size 32*3% for $21.00 Better come at once.

SPECIALISTS Will be at DuBose Hotel Wed nesday, July 30. FOR ONE DAY ON^Y. Convincing Evidence for the Sick-How Chronic Sufferers are Being Restored to Health Thru ASSOCIATED DOCTORS System of Treatment. Offer Services Free of Charge. The Associated Doctors, Special ists, licensed by the State of Ala bama, and who ? have met with such phenomenal success throughout the entire Southeast will be in Edgefield on Wednesday, July 30, for one day only to demonstrate their new system of treatment of chronic disease ca.-.es. These regular, reputable physi cians believe that the combined skill of several trained specialists in chron ic disease cases can accomplish more than one doctor alone-in other words, in unity there is strength. The offer to treat all who call on this visit absolutely free, is their original method of getting their sys tem of treatment before the public quicker, and no one, ric- or poor, white or colored, should neglect to take advantage of their very liberal offer-ABSOLUTELY FREE (medi cine excepted.) No cutting-No knife. It makes no difference how many doctors you have consulted or how many patent medicines you have tak 2n, you cannot afford to miss this op portunity of ascertaining your exact condition and be honestly advised. NTo one should require furthur evi dence of the skill of these specialists than the following TESTIMONY. Square Cheatham, Bolling, . Ala., ?vrites: "I had rheumatism for over ;wo years and walked with a stick, kiter taking the first dose of your medicine I threw away my stick. Your remedy has done the work and I am now a well man, thanks to the Asso ciated Doctors. Ira Craig, Greenville, Ala., writes: "I am doing very well. My foot is bealing, although I am compelled to walk on it." J. L. Redding, Saginaw, Ala., writes: "I am free from rheumatic pain since commencing your treat ment." Thomas Marshall, Chapman, Ala., writes: "I can truthfully say I am a new man. I feel that I don't need the full eight weeks you perscribed. Mrs. Margaret W. Rogers, Geor giana, Ala., writes: "I have been using your remedies prescribed near -ly 3 weeks and am feeling much better." Rev. R. L. Fletcher, Camalia, Ga., writes: "I am a new man; eat well, sleep well and feel like a man in my prime. I want to thank you and my dear wife also wants to thank you, for she is proud of my improvement." J. P. Andrews, Blakely Ga., writes: 'Sly boy has been a great sufferer from skin diseases, sores and bed wetting since childhood. He is 13^ years old. Since taking your treat ment he has not wet the bed a single time. The terrible sores on his limbs and body are disappearing lite magic even in this short time." Now that you know the truth, you have only yourself to blame if yotx continue to suffer from Piles, Kidney and Bladder Troubles, Discharges, Bed Wetting, Blood Poison, Skin Eruption, Rheumatism, Epilepsy, Uric Acid Poisoning, Paralysis, Nervous Troubles and Debility, Neuralgia, Stomach and Liver Troubles, Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Tu mors, Indigestion, Constipation, Gall Stones, Ovarian and Female Trou bles, Enlarged glands or any reflex condition of the nervous system, and [those diseases about which most peo ple dislike to consult the general practitioner.
