We see by the papers that Colum bia has thirty-two on its chaingang and it is steadily growing. In the mat ter of growth, Columbia's chaingang should be no exception. The practice of imposing a fine for violating a law should be discontinued. An evil doer should not be permitted to pay for the privilige of violating the law. Af ter all that is no punishment. Putting ?stripes on on individual, branding lim as a criminal, if he is one, and forcing him to perform hard labor along with others of his type is some punishment and is feared by men who have not lost all self-respect. As long as whiskey is made and sold in Edgefield county, the chainr gang of this county should grow. Vio lators of other laws should likewise "be put to work upon the public high ways of the county, insetad of per mitting some one to pay them out of shooting scrapes or other kinds of wrong doing. It speaks well for the prosecuting officers, juries and judges to say the -chaingang of a county is growing. We would prefer to see men respect the law and have the number on the chaingang decrease from that cause than to see it increase because of their evil doing. But if the law is be ing violated, we say let the chaingang increase. The following statement credited to Sheriff Hunter of Lancaster coun ty who has served in this capacity jfor 34 years in apropros: *"J believe one cause is that those who are criminally inclined often lear of convicts all over the state be ing so nicely treated." The sheriff continued: '"I believe all prisoners and convicts should be well fed, well treated and their health well looked after; but showing a sympathetic spirit, with no outward evidence of ^condemnation, has a tendency to en ?" -courage rather than to deter the crim .?r?al class. When you see a ? person ?who is penitent and grieved over his violation of the law there is hope of that person's reformation. But when you see a fellow who has committed crime, swaggering and smoking one cigarette after another, and seeming ly unconscious of the disgrace he las brought upon himself and the rtrouble that he has caused his family -and loved ones, you can put it down that that criminal will never reform. .'On the contrary such a fellow will - work hard to lead astray other men ,-.of good families in order to bring them down to his level." Sheriff Hun . ter concluded by saying that "idle ness and fast living have a great deal to do with so much violating the . law." "Signora De Fabritiis Began Summer School. On Monday at 9 o'clock, Signora . Carolina Be Fabritiis began her sum mier school in Edgefield under most ifavorable auspices. By the middle of the week everything is going along as smoothly as if the school had been 5n operation several months. The following are students in vo i cal music : Miss Mary Helen Hynes, i- a graduate of Emerson College in "?Boston and teacher in Augusta of ex pression and physical culture; Miss ..Agnes Cine, Milledgeville, Ga., who * is studying vocal music for a pro cessional*'life; Misses Margaret May, "Miriam Norris, Elizabeth Rainsford, TRuth Tompkins and Mrs. M. B. Tuck-| ter* '.There are still two vacant periods, . and anyone who might desire to take advantage of this opportunity might apply to Signora De Fabritiis who may be found at the Dixie Highway Hotel. Signora De Fabritiis will le S glad to test the voices of any young people who may desire to know the quality of their voice, even if too young to pursue the study at pres ent. She asks no remuneration forj this. In this way some hidden genius* may be discovered. The presence of Signora De Fabri tiis is a decided acquisition to our musical world and she speaks very lighly of the talent she has in Edge field. She will furnish some musical j -notes "for The Advertiser each week. .Signora De Fabritiis is giving les sons in. her native tongue, Italian to all her vocal pupils. Death of Mrs. Emily Manget. Some time in the early hours of Monday morning at/ner home in Tr?nton Mrs. Emily Manget entered peacefully into her eternal rest. She retired Sunday night as well as usual, having sat upon the porch until elev en o'clock with the other members of the family and with friends who made a social call. About seven o'clock Monday morning she was found dead in her bed. Mrs. Manget was in her 79th year at the time of her death and had become enfeebled by the weight of years upon her, but at the time of her going away not to return she was enjoying her accus tomed health. Nearly four score years God had spared this good woman whose beau tiful Christian life was a benediction to all who came under her influence. For nearly fifty years she had been a member of the Edgefield Baptist church. She was born and reared in Edgefield, being before her mar riage, Miss Emily Bryan. She was born and spent her girlhood days in the old Bryan home which stood where Capt. N. G. Evans' residence now stands. Although she had resided in Tren ton for many years, yet she loved Edgefield, being unwilling to sever her relations with the old Edgefield Baptist church, which she first loved. Dr. R. G. Lee, her former pastor, was requested by telegraph to come from Chester to conduct her funeral and he came. Practically everybody in Trenton and a considerable number of Edegefield people attended her fu neral. The floral tributes were nu merous and very beautiful, the white which predominated among the flow ers seemed to reflect or be symbolic of her beautiful life of consecration and loyalty. The interment took place in the Edgefield cemetery beside the grave of her husband who died March 30, 1892. Mrs. Manget leaves one son, S. H. Manget. , ( ?_ Tq Ship Tomatoes From South Carolina.

Some weeks ago while making a ??our of this county inspecting the schools, Rural School Insp?ctor Lew is referred to the Edgefield school building in his report as being defec :ive. In order that the actual condi tion of the building may be known, the trustees engaged Mr. W. S. G. Heath, a capable architect and build er of long experience, to inspect the building and make a report on its actual condition. The following let ter addressed to State Superintendent of Education J. E. Swearingen by Mr. Heath shows that the building is not in condition that should cause serious concern or alarm, this defect or crack in the wall near the south end of the building being of long standing: To the Hon. John E. Swearingen, State Supt. Education, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: At the request of the Board of Trustees of the town of Edgefield, S. C., I have made a careful examina tion of the Public School Building at Edgefield and I find in the South end a cracked wall, caused from the ori ginal settling of the building. About fifteen or sixteen years ago I had oc casion to do some work in this build ing for Col. F. N. K. Bailey as a con tractor. I found the wall at that time was in the same condition then that it is in today-not any worse since. It is practically as safe as any wall would be under ordinary circum stance. The building is of the strong est construction known as what is called "Mill Construction," which is built to hold heavy machinery, and nothing short of an earthquake or cyclone will tear down this wall or cause it to get any worse than it is. I consider the whole building abso lutely safe and an unusually strong construction. I am an architect and contractor of thirty .years' experi ence, as you know. With kind regards Yours truly, ' W. S. G. HEATH. Live Meat Supply in This Coun try. Far Below Previous Years. ^ Chicago.June 19.-The number of cattle for each 100 persons in the United States is today one-third less than in 19Od, the sheep supply is re duced nearly two-thirds, while the number of hogs is fully 41 per cent, less now than then, according to fig ures compiled from the federal cen sus reports by Herbert Myrick, farm expert for a farm publication. Declaring that this "alarming shortage" in livestock is such as to furnish a meat supply, only about half as great for each person in the country as formerly. Mr. .Myrick said, "The decline during recent months in prices to producers is so utterly un justifiable as to constitute the grav est economic crime ever perpetrated upon the farmers of America." Other figures were given to show that 20 per cent, fewer pounds of meat were exported during the pres ent fiscal year than during the pre cious year while imports totalled 175,000,000 pounds of fresh meats, or nearly four times as much as two or three years ago. More than half of these imports, he said, were mut ton and lambs from Australasia, or imports 25 times greater than the exports of the United States. Mr. Myrick charged that the United States department of agriculture for years has overestimated the number of sheep and swine and declared that the department's estimate for Janu ary 1920, was in error, no less than 28 per cent. News Print Paper Made of Southern Pine. J I Birmingham, Ala., June- 19.-The Birmingham Age-Herald tomorrow morning will be published oh paper manufactured from southern spruce pine, which grows along the banks of the Warrior river and in the hilly sections of north Alabama, covering many thousands of acres. The paper was manufactured from wood shipped to northern mills, and is declared by experts to be equal in every respect to the news print made from Canadian spruce. The Alabama pine, which is unfit for lumber contains an unusually fine fibre, has a thin bark, virtually no heart and contains only a trace of rosin. It grows for miles along the Warrior River, averaging from four to twenty cords to the acre. It re quires one ton of wood to make a ton of paper pulp.. Additional tests are being made and a movement has been started to establish a large paper mill on the Warrior River for the manufacture of news print in large quantities.
