The eight-hundred-dollar range just bought for the new hotel kitchen ought to insure good eatin.' * * * ? As water puts taxes up it puts in surance down. So don't worry about the increase in the levy. ' * ? * ? A good cotton crop is well under way in this county. Now, if Mr. B. Weevil will only have mercy. * . . ? Say what you will, it would be as hard to run a Democratic convention without Mr. Bryan as it is with him. * ? * * , Some are predicting five dollar corn next spring. Better keep the V's in bank by having your own cern in the crib. ' * * * . > There are still more vacant lots and unpainted houses in Edgefield. Who'll be the next to have a part in ieepin' the town movin' on? * * * ? The census man should be enjoined from further witholding of Edge field's population figures. Some of our people are impatiently waiting. * * * * All store rooms in Edgefield are en gaged and the demand not supplied. That doesn't indicate that the weevil has shattered the morale of our peo ple, j * * * ? Watson and Smith of Georgia fame got their dues in San Francis-1 co. They came back as mad as a wet hen. Just how much offended that is we are unable to say. '.'***? ^^2^^S^^?J^e lP-e?Ple Edge ??eld.ajre, from a political standpoint, thougntful and solber minded and do not allow themselves to be wrought up to a white heat over politics any more. They show their goon sense. * * * ? Worse than carrying coals to New Castle was the placing of a huge pipe-organ inthe convention hall in' San Francisco. Even not all of the animated "wind instruments" will .have a turn. , * * * * Don't worry about the weevil. Farmers will receive more for five bales of cotton this fall than they at one time received for twenty-five. The cotton crop will adjust itself, if .due attention be given to food crops. * * * * When the water from the one hun dred and twenty gallon per minute rsnpply is turned on it is hoped that . some men in Edgefield will break .away from their time-honored cus -.tom of observing only one night in the week, Saturday night, as "tub -might." * ? * * .Another cotton warehouse soon to go up in Edgefield, which means the j holding of more cotton this fall fori a satisfactory price. Hasten the day when not a pound of cotton will be sold until a price commensurate with v .other commodities is realized. * * * ? Enroll For the Primary. ~The rules of the Democratic party ' of South Carolina require every voter to enroll his name on che roll book of his club before he can cast his ballot in the primary election. The books of enrollment will close the night of the last Tuesday in July. 'The time is limited, growing shorter Bach day, and unless you register at once, if you have not already done so, you may put it off too late. Every white person in the county who is duly qualified under the rules should vote in the primary, but unless you 1 enroll, as required by the rules, you will be debarred.'Should you be de prived of the right to vote, you have no one to blame except yourself. En roll at once if you have not already done so. FOR RENT: Five or six rooms in my residence on Jeter street. See me for particulars. EVA W. OUZTS.
