Eatabltsijr? 1835. J. L. MIMS,_..Editor. Published every Wednesday in The Advertiser Building at $2.00 per year in advance. Entered as second class matter at the postoffice at Edgefield S. C. No cummunications will be pub lished unless accompanied by the writer's name. Card of Thanks, Obituaries, Res olutions and Political Notices pub lished at advertising rates. Wednesday, March 23. The all-cotton way of farming is a straight and sure way to bankruptcy. * * * * No work brings larger returns than that put in the vegetable garden. Try it. * * * ? People, please produce potatoes, peas, pigs, peanuts, pumpkins, p?en-, tifully. * * * * Judging from the rush that is being made on the Republican "pie" coun ter it will all soon be dished out. m * m m The question of having a uniform or national divorce law is being agi tated. Except South Carolina, please. Other States could profit by South Carolina's example. * * * * ' President Harding seems to be growing in favor with the people. Some who know him say he is of the McKinley type. If so, he will have many friends in the South. ? * ? ? If an employer and an employe can not agree upon working terms, the employe has a right to decline or refuse to work, but he has not the right to prevent anybody else from accepting the job. * * * . If you do not wish to see another cut made in your resources next fall, . you had better make a cut in your cotton acreage. There is no profit in eight cents colton for the grower. First make at home everything need ed for man and beast and then plant cotton, making it a secondary crop. * . * . Every young white man who don ned the uniform during the great World War should join the American Legion. The day will come when ex soldiers will not have to be urged to join. Membership will be considered such a badge of honor that every one who is eligible will join. Then, event ually, why not now? * * * . People who have an intimate knowledge of Germany's inner life say the Huns are even now preparing for another war. Well, we are not surprised. While not openly or avow ..edly victorious in the last war, yet no one can say the Germans were van quished. Great is the pity that they were not. Surely the next generation will not have it all to do over again! ***" * * * * *,V,V Time Has Come to Act. Not line upon line but page upon page has been written urging' far mers to reduce the cotton acreage. Now the time has come for action. On account of the ravages of the boll .weevil, which has reached practically every nook and corner of the cotton belt, early planting of cotton is im perative. For that reason it is prob able that all cotton will be planted -in a few weeks. Preparing the seed bed is now going rapidly forward. If they have not already done so, in a few days farmers must make a de cision. Will it be in favor of reduced acreage, or will an effort be made to "'get ahead of the other fellow" by, planting the usual acreage? The wise farmer will reduce greatly-cut in half. Death of Mr. Whitman R. Hill. Mr. Whitman Robinson Hill died : at the University Hospital in Augus . ta after an illness of about ten weeks on Monday of this week. .His remains were brought to Edge ? fre?d on the 2 o'clock train Tuesday . and interred at the Blocker cemetery about eight miles above town. Mr. Hill was a resident of Belve dere, S. C., and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ida Monk Hill. He was in his 56th year, and was a (brother of Mrs. James T. Mims, his parents hav ing been Dr. Lovick Hill and Miss Sophie Hughes. There were a number of relatives and friends to accompany the casket from the station to the cemetery where Rev. G. W. M. Taylor, pastor of the Methodist church officiated, and although it had been many years since Mr. Hill had lived in Edgefieid, there were many who regretted to hear the sad news of his death. Deserve Carnegie Medals. Two strong, manly boys of the Long Branch school deserve Car negie medals for the heroic efforts 'hey put forth to save one of their teachers, Miss Lizzie Harvey, from death by drowning Saturday. Our Long Branch correspondent tells this week how Brunson Derrick and Willie Duffie rescued Miss Harvey from the waters of Beech Creek. After getting the young lady to the shore, Brun son Derrick swam to the middle of the pond and dived for her glasses, which she lost in the water, bringing them up from the bottom without damage of any kind. All honor to these strong, brave, manly lads. Death of Mr. B. P. Walker. Edgefield friends of Mrs. N. G. Evans are grieved to learn of the recent death of her uncle, Mr. Benja min Pressley Walker, at his home in Macon. He was a Confederate vet eran, having served with the Rut ledge Mounted Riflemen. Mr. Walker is survived by his widow, one daught er, Miss Cora Campton Walker, of Macon, and one son, Mr. Benjamin P. Walker, Jr. of Atlanta. This is the last member of a fam ily of eleven brothers and sisters, a prominent family originally from old historical Hamburgh, S. C., in its early days of affluence. To Mrs. Evans and the members of her fam ily, Edgefield extends sympathy. "Orchard Spraying."

Marketing of Crops. Clemson, College, March 21.-A farming program for 1921 that does not consider the marketing of crops would be incomplete. Economic pro duction and efficient morketing are supplementary. The year 1920 proved that the production of large crops without giving thought to adequate and economic distribution in business is folly. Farmers are urged to study seriously the plan followed with suc cess elsewhere, notably in California and Denmank, in the co-operative marketing of farm products. The principles underlying the most suc cessful co-operative marketing work are as follows: ?. Organization by commodity and not by locality. <> 2. Membership composed only of growers and landlords receiving part of crop as rent. 3. Organization on the non-stock, non-profit plan. 4. Pooling of crops and payment to growers on the basis that each grower receive the same price per unit for the same quality of product. 5. The binding crop contract, which insures fulfillment of agree ments, makes possible the financing of the marketing operation, and as sures a volume of business sufficient to guarantee economic marketing. 6. The employment of trained and experienced experts to handle the functions of marketing under the su pervision of directors selected by the growers from their own number. Farmers must realize that it is only on some basis as that outlined in the above principles that they can ever expect to make their influence felt in the marketing of their own products. Coupled with soil building and a "live at home" program, mar keting will go far toward stabilizing farm life and farm incomes. Why Co ds Are Dangerous. It is the serious diseases that colds lead to that makes them dangerous. They prepare the system for the re ception and development of the germs af influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, dyphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough and measles. You are much more likely to contract these diseases when you have a cold. For that rea son you should get rid of every cold as quickly as possible. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will help you. It is widely known as a cure for bad colds. EGGS FOR HATCHING: Silver laced Wyandotte Eggs absolutely pure breed, one dollar and fifty cents for fifteen. Mrs. J. D. QUARLES, Modoc, S. C. 3-2-4tpd. Fertilizers High Yet. Guano of all grades and kinds has been dropping, dropping and drop ping in price, but has not yet reached a sufficiently low level for farmers to use it extensively. When cotton was eight cents in the years gone by "acid" sold for around $9 and $10 and Kainit for but little more, while now, even at the seemingly low level, the price is about double.

Mrs. Warren and Miss Lizzie War ren met the guests at the door and the parlor was most tastefully deco rated in dogwood and pink honey suckle, the first we had seen this sea son. Those who have driven along the country roads say the flowers are un usually abundant and early.

Peak; the reading of Henry Timrod's Carolina by Ned Nicholson, and the singing of Reed Miller's rendition of this poem by Miss Miriam Norris, with accompaniment by -Mrs. Tillman.

Miss Norris made the poem more beautiful in her singing than we had ever heard it before. Mrs. J. H. Cantelou gave a reading from C. Irvine Walker's "Romance of the Lower Carolinas."
