kins.
Farmers are taking advantage of
good condition of the roads, com
paatively speaking, and are hauling
commercial fertilizers in geat quan
tities.
Judging from the great number of
<alls at this office for mortgages of
personal property, people are giving
and taking more mortgages than
usual this year.
Capt. P. M. Feltham, who has re
cently undergone another operation
?at the Walter Reed Hospital in Wash
ington, D. C., is spending a leave in
Edgefield with his family.
Our friend Gus Edmunds, is still
enlarging. Rather we mean his popu
lar boarding house is being enlarged
by four additional rooms. The work
is in charge of Mr. Heath.
There is a demand for more stores
as well as more residences in Edge
field. There have been a rush of ap
plications to lease the stores on the
first floor of the new hotel.
Senator J. C. Sheppard returned
to his legislative duties in Columbia
yesterday. Mr. J. L. Mims was detain
ed in Edgefield until today on ac
count of sickness in his home.
There will be no let up in Edge
field's boom. It has come to stay.
The installation of water and sewer
age systems will make the old town
?till more attractive to outsiders.
Mr. John T. Nicholson is conceded
to be the youngest man in the coun

vitation from the Atlanta Athletic
club to the spring athletic meet at the
University of Georgia. She returned
to Edgefield Sunday afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Morgan, Jr.,
are the happy parents of a little
daughter and as she was born on
Sunday, the 29th of February, which
was the fifth Sunday, she can not
celebrate her birthday very often.
The present legislative delegation
will complete its legislative duties
this week, as this week will mark the
close of a long session of eight weeks.
For the session of 1921 the people of
Edgefield will elect an altogether
new delegation, as none of the pres
ent delegation will stand for re-elec
tion.
The ladies of the Baptist church
held two very helpful days of prayer
on Monday and Tuesday at the Bap
tist church, following out the plan of
self denial week for Home Missions.
Some work toward having an early
graden would not be amiss as the
soil is sufficiently dry. Succulent veg
etables in season not only reduce the
cost of living but they raise the
health average of the family.
Mr. M. W. Shive, manager of the
Davis Realty Company, has purchas
ed the Dozier place midway between
Edgefield and Trenton from Dr. J.
G. Tompkins. This is very desirable
as well as very valuable piece of
property.
The walls of the Dixie Highway
Hotel are rapidly going up. If the
contractors can get several weeks of
favorable weather, the brick work
would soon be completed. There has
been but very little weather favor
able for building since Christmas.
The Hamilton Auto Company re
ceived Monday a solid car load of
Maxwell automobiles. This car is
growing in popularity in this section.
This is evidenced by the number that
the Hamilton Auto Company are sell
ing.
It is announced from Y. W. C. A.
headquarters in Columbia that Miss
Frances Herbert who will sail in the
summer for Japan as a Y. W. C. A.
secretary, will speak in Edgefield in
the interests of this great cause on
March 23. Further notice will be giv
en later.
The Overland Four car is by great
odds one of the best cars made for
the money. They are sold in Edgefield
by Mr. J. D. Holstein, Jr., and at
Johnston by the Consolidated Auto
Companys which is managed by Mr.
J. P. Bland. Read their advertisement
in this issue of the Overland Four.
Our young friend, H. G. Gardner,
who moved several years ago to Hel
ena, Ga., is now one of the leading
business men of that place. He is
one of the corporators of a two hun
dred thousand dollar enterprise of
Helena. Edgefield men always make
good, it matters not to what part of
this old mundane sphere they go.
The acreage in small grain is not
as large as it should be. Many far
mers were prevented from sowing
their usual quantity last fall by the
drought. Mr. T. P. Morgan was in
Edgefield Monday and told The Ad
vertiser's representative that he ex
pects to sow spring oats. He stated
that he has sown oats as late as the
middle of March and made good oats.
A number of farmers should follow
his example.
The Edgefield good roads bill
which has now become a law is meet
ing with general favor from the peo
ple. Mr. W. H. Harling, cashier of the
Farmers Bank, says it is the best
piece of legislation of the kind he
has ever seen. Mr. G. D. Mims speaks
of it as a good piece of work that has
come at the psychological moment.
The people are anxious to have good
roads legislation. They want to get
out of the mud.
Mr. Israel Mukashy's stock reduc
tion sale has been well patronized.
His bargains have attracted a large
number of people. He announced this
week that very low prices still pre
vail at his store in order to reduce
his stock to maka room for spring
goods. He is sti'il giving one pound
of sugar free to lavery customer who
purchases goods to the amount of
$5.00. See what Mr. Mukashy says
in his half page advertisement this
week. You can depend upon what he
says.
Little Beulah Lee Improving.
Everybody in Edgefield has been
greatly concerned for a week on ac
count of the extreme illness of little
Beulah Lee. From a merry, singing
little girl who attracted everyone
who saw her, she was prostrated by
illness. But even then the doctor said
she was the best little patient anyone
could possibly have. She had been
looking forward to seeing herself at
the moving picture baby show on Sat
urday night, but many of us feared
she would be changed to another land
of children by that time. With the
prayers of such good parents as she
has and the many others in our com
munity and the devoted work and at
tention of Dr. Tompkins and the
trained nurse and other helpers, she
is on the road to recovery.

Dr. McGIothlin at the Baptist
Church.
On the third Sunday in March, Dr.
McGIothlin, President of Furman
University, will preach twice at the
Baptist church. Dr. McGIothlin is a
scholar of great renown and an au
thor of far-reaching influence. He is
at his greatest when speaking on the
things pertaining to the Kingdom.

this noted preacher and profound
scholar and author to preach in our
midst. The present plans are to have
him preach in the morning at 11:30
to all who will hear him and at 3:30
in the afternoon to men only. Let
none miss this opportunity.

of the Board of Commerce Tuesday
night, March 9th.
This opportunity is open to the
people of Edgefield County. School

How Enforced Prohibition
Will Help Our Country.
(Continued from Page Seven)
Beyond, because as long as he is deal
ing in whiskey he is committing a
great sin, and there is no chance, in
my mind, of his ever entering the
Kingdom of God, for he is worse than
the man who drinks it. He is making
drunkards and wrecking happy
homes, all for the sake of the al
mighty dollar.
Prohibition will help our bankers,
merchants and farmers in their bus
iness transactions. Ladies that are
clerking and bookkeeping in the
stores and banks will not be embar
rassed by drunkards. Bankers will
not be worried in making loans to
drunkards, for it is embarrassing to
turn down a good-hearted man that
cannot pay his debts on account of
drink. Clerks in dry goods and gro
cery stores will not be bored by the
drunkard, as they will have money to
pay for what they get. Merchants are
not bothered by their bookkeepers
and clerks getting their books tan
gled on account of being under the
influence of whiskey.
Our county officers will not Jan
bothered with the drunkard begging
for money to buy whiskey with. Pro-:
hibition wlil help the county officers
themselves, as they heretofore, have
been accustomed to drinking with
their friends. It will enable them to
keep their books and accounts
straight.
There has been a time when it was
dangerous for a lady to drive on a
public highway for fear that she
would meet up with some drunkard
on the road. It is different now as we
have prohibition. Without prohibi
tion it would almost be impossible to
travel the roads in automobiles, as
whiskey and gasoline will not mix.
The poor old horses and mules that
the drunkards used to drive could be
whipped and made to get back into
the road. The automobile refuses to
obey under the lash of the whip. Be
fore prohibition, nine out of ten
wrecks in automobiles were caused
by whiskey. Prohibition will help the
railroad men, because there are so
many lives that are dependent on
them.
There are a great many people
who claim that they can get all the
whiskey they want but we are proud
that a great majority of the men of
Edgefield county are too proud to
slip around to a bootlegger to get
whiskey.
Prohibition brings about energy
and thrift, and helps to bring out the
qualities of man.
There was an old Irishman who
liked rum, and he used to call it the
DeviPs fire water, which name, I
think, is very appropriate. I think it
was intended for the devil and not
for the men of Edgefield county.
We have as good blood in the veins
of the men of our county as there is
ir? the world, high-toned, big-hearted
gentlemen.
Anyone who wants to see, can see
that prohibition has already helped
our county a great deal. One hardly
ever sees a drunken man now. Why
should not the men of Edgefield
county be. as far from drink as the
ladies are? Prohibition will help
them to be.
Prohibition for me once and al
ways. Let us all strive to enforce pro
hibition and we will always have it.
