Tractors, like trucks and automo biles, have come to stay, having pass ed the experimental stage. Owing to the acute labor situation, which will probably never be better, it behooves farmers to adopt every labor saving machine possible, especially when such machines do the work so much i better thaR where more man power is used. Gasoline power is more ef fective on the farm than man power and mule power where gasoline can be used. Tractors plow deep, pull har rows to pulverize and can cover a large area in a day. If you have not purchased a Fordson tractor, one that is within the reach of small farr mers, you should confer with Yonce & Mooney or H. G. Eidson at once about one.

The people these hot days, as a rule, do not want to hear pub lic speaking. And who can blame . them?' The next county meeting will be held at Antioch church tomorrow, j Death of Mr. T. M. Tllover. Wednesday night, July 28, Mr. T. M. Glover died at his home in the Meriwether section. While he had been, in feeble health for some time, his death was unexpected and a great shock to his friends and loved ones. During the afternoon before his death he visited in the commu inity but became very weak on re turning home. Within an hour after complaining of feeling very unwell he passed away without pain or struggle. The immediate cause of his death must have been heart failure, as he had suffered from heart trou ble for a year or more. Mr. Glover was not a Confederate veteran, be ing too young to don the uniform in the sixties, but no citizen in Edge field county ever rendered more loy al service than he in 1876, a time when every red-blooded man was needed at the front in the fight for white supremacy and honest gov ernment. Mr. Glover was in his 70th year, being the last of the older gen eration of a .prominent and honored old Edgefield family. He leaves his devoted wife who, before their mar riage was Miss Ida Scott. They had no children. The funeral was con ducted at Sweetwater church Thurs day afternoon. W. C. T. U. Meeting. The August meeting of the W. C. T.

Women are en joined everywhere to watch keenly any statement on the part of the pol iticians which will indicate their in tention of modifying the prohibition laws. The question was asked by one of the women present if one of the senatorial candidates did not express himself as opposed to the Volstead act, and Mr. Warren's statement was called to the attention of the meet ng at Edgefield in which he made an appeal for the exercise of states' rights in being able to serve and make wine.
