To The Farmers of Edgefield County. For the convenience of farmers who desire to have their cotton graded, I wish to say that I will go out in the country where as many as 50 bales or more can be bunched to gether, I do not mean that any one man must have 50 bales but if a few farmers in a place will get their cot ton lined up at their respective homes I can grade it all on one trip, to that neighborhood. My duties while here in Edgefield are to grade cotton and inform far mers of the value of cotton before sale, and I am sure every progressive farmer desires to know what he has to offer before selling. Now {hat the price of cotton is far below the cost of production, and the difference in price for the various grades are wide it is absolutely necessary that you have it graded. I am now receiving some cotton below middling, and when a grade drops below this point the differ ences are wider than if it graded above middling, for instance on Au gusta market this week St. Low Mid dling is quoted one and one-half cent off middling; Low Middling four cents off middling.

Y., has been discussed free ly in-Aiken since widespread publi cation. No one, however, can be found who professes to have any knowledge of the affair. A search of the records at the Aiken county court house, shows that prior to this summer the daughter in question had the custody of her father, who is aged and infirm, in New York city, Atlantic city and other places and that the court de termined that his daughter's mental condition was such that she was not a fit custodian for her father, she having suffered from various mental troubles, and having been the inmate of several sanatoriums. The legal custody of the father was then vested for the balance of his life in his two sons-in-law, and he is now in Aiken living at the home of his married daughters. The court records further show that with his consent and the writ ten consent of the daughter the property ol' the father was divided, under the supervision of the court, and with its approval, and that the daughter in question, because she was unmarried, was allowed $20, 000 more than the other two daugh ters. Her share under the division amounted to $50,000, while the two married daughters who assumed the care of their invalid father, for the balance of his life, and gave heavy bond for his proper support, received but $30,000 each. In this court proceeding the daugh ter in question was represented by reputable attorneys of Columbia, and she consented, in writing, to every step taken by the court. She has re cently had the proceedings examined by her counsel, who advised her that they were regular in every re spect, and that she had been most bountifully provided for. Financial Loss Due to Colds. It is estimated that the average man loses three days time each year from inability to work on account of having a cold. Much of this loss can be avoided by treating every cold as son as the first symptoms of the dis ease appear. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has won a wide reputation and immense sale by its cures of this disease. Try it. You are certain to be pleased with its pleasant taste and the prompt relief which it affords. Notice> of Dissolution of Cor poration. The State of South Carolina Edgefield County.
