Mathis of the Collier sec tion commenced farming on his own account when he was 26 years of age, and now he is 66 years. He has farm ed continuously during that time and has owned only two horses, which shows what good treatment will do for stock. It pays in -dollars and cents to take care of livestock. Mr. Mathis kept the first horse he bought 24 years and then traded it for another ?. and this faithful animal died last k, after having been owned by Mr. Mathis 16 years. Not many per sons who have farmed for forty years have such -a record for the keeping and treatment of the faith ful beasts of burden. Cotton Seed Selling Too Low. We do not understand why cotton seed are selling below a dollar a bushel. It appears to us that farmers are not getting a "square deal," to usi a pet phrase of Col. Roosevelt. If the number of bales of cotton are short, certainly the number of bush els or tons of seed will be short in the saine proportion. And yet cotton seed are selling for about one-third less than they should. If farmers were organized, as they are trying to do, this situation, we believe, could be impn ved. Cotton seed are selling for as much at Edgefield as anywhere else, but they are too low everywhere. j Buildings at Fair Grounds Sold Pursuant to an announcement which has appeared in The Adverti ser, the buildings and improvements on the fair grounds were sold Mon-: day at public outcry, Sheriff W. R. Swearingen acting as auctioneer and he did it as well as a veteran in the business. Each building was sold* separately, the aggregate sale^ amounting to $1,245.75, which will leave a small balance in the treasury* after the indebtedness of the Fair Association has been paid. The first large building as you approach the fair grounds was purchased by Mr. A. L. Kemp for a little less than $400, and the second building, in which Mr. B. L. Mims stored his fer tilizers last season was purchased by him for $410. As a whole the prop erty sold well. U. D. C. Entertainment.

The drive for raising Edgefield county's quota of the State Memo rial Fund for the erection of a Me morial Building at State Capital in honor of the men and women who serv?d in the recent World War has begun, and I now make an earnest appeal to each and every member of the various committees appointed to aid in this work, and whose names have been set forth in the county pa pers for several issues thereof, to help me in obtaining subscriptions to this cause. I shall appreciate your co-operation and assistance. The question with us is-Shall we permit History to denominate our county as a DELINQUENT in the final discharge of its duty to its sons and daughters who contributed their services and lives to the VICTORY which we now enjoy? We have never been so dnominated, shall we now? Pride dictates to the contrary. J. H. CANTELOU, County Chairman. Notice.
