i. L. MIMS,"_ " .^Editor, Published every Wednesday in The Advertiser Building at $2.00 per year in advance. Entered as second class matter at . the postbffice at Edgefield S. C. No cummunications will be pub lished unless accompanied by the writer's name. : ' Card of Thanks, Ob?v?a.ries, Res olutions and Political Notices pub lished at advertising rates. Wednesday, October ll. The Advertiser's Course Commended. The editor of The Advertiser has been very generally commended for reluming the "soft answer", last week to Mr. W. G. Ouzts' tirade upon the . editors of the local papers, instead of bringing so grave a matter to the low plane of personal abuse, thus becloud ing and detracting from the issue. We severely condemned Mr. Ouzts and Mr. Watson for becoming so affil iated and allied with Joe Tolbert and his crowd as to be included in the offi ciai list of delegates to the Republican .convention, and Mr. Ouzts had the op portunity last week of explaining his connection with the matter to the sat isfaction of our people, had he such" an explanation, but instead of pulling him self out of the hole in which he alone thrust'himself he made bad matters worse. Mr. Ouzts and Mr. Watson were offended with the newspapers for giving publicity to the matter when, as* a matter of fac? the offense, if any were committed, was committed by the ?erson who placed their names? on the original official list of the convention as published in The State, we mean the one which was declared official before the list of delegates Was juggled with. One man said to us, "If my name had been put on a list of delegates to a Re publican convention, I would shoulders shotgun and huni up the man who put it there." Nobody has yet heard of Mr. Oozts or Mr. Watson shouldering a shotgun and hunting for the person who put'their names on the li?t of del egates to Tolbert's convention. Let Wiley Ouzts and Alex Watson, and every [other wavering Democrat, know, here and now, once and for al), that they cannot "stand in" with Tol bert and with the people of Edgefield county at the same time. Determined , to Establish a Creamery. The mass-meeting which was held in the court house Monday night looking. to the , establishment of a creamery in Edgefield was well at tended, Ropers, Trenton and other jout of town communities being rep resented. There was a general discus sion, both pro and con, but the over whelming preponderance of senti ment was in favor of establishing a .creamery at Edgefield. It will supply a need in this crisis that nothing else can or will supply. Mr. Cushman, Clemson's representative, whose ad dress, by the way, was somewhat of a. disappointment to many present, rather discouraged the enterprise. JMr. Hazel, the proprietor of the .Batesburg creamery; was present and of course favore the shipping of .cream by the farmers of this county to his creamery, but the fact that he :is now making a succss of his enter prise indicates that a like success can be mad? at Edgefield .Mr. Bal antine, the manager of the Bank of Weitem Carolina, at Batesburg, was present and his practical, to-the point remarks were encouraging, showing what benefit to the farmers of that section the Batesburg cream 'ery has been. One established at .Edgefield will be of as great benefit, or even more, to the farmers of our '.county. Mr. Hazel stated that a creamery 'will be operated at a loss unless it receives sufficient cream to make 1, ,000 pounds of butter per week. He "has steadily increased the volume of his business to that quantity..-: He statedAhaf Mr. H. H. Sanders of our county is his ?largest regular shipper of cream. Mr. B. T. Lanham was present Monday night but did not partake the discussion, but he told The Ad vertiser's representative Tuesday that he had made a careful estimate and found that the farmers of Horn's Creek and Ropers, in the ag gregate, carry 500 pounds of butter to Augusta every week, a distance of from 17 to 20 miles. So it becomes evident that if this cream could be diverted to an Edgefield creamery, which would have to be transported a distance of only from 5 to 9 miles, ?dgefield could begin, including Mr. Sanders and the cream shipped from Trenton, with almost as mueblas Mr. Hazel is now receiving at Batesburg one year after hs began operatior There is much encouragement those who are back of th?' enterp and they will not let up until creamery is established. Hon. M. Wells who was chairman of meeting Monday night and whc devoting much time and effort to enterprise was authorized to appi aboard of corporators who will ply for a charter for the comps Mr. Welb appointed the follow board, Mr. A. E. Padgett, Dr. A. Sorley, Mr. J. H. Allen, Mr. J. Minas, Mr. M. P. Wells, Mr. B. Tillman and Mr., S. E. Morgan, was requested ,by the meeting to as a member bf the bo'ard.

"Redeeming the time be cause the days are evil." We view with/ ah., n the great' migration of our people from the farms . to the cities and towns, especially the .Northern cities and towns. Unless we continue to .cultivate the-land and make it bring forth its fruits for our sustenance and comfort we must suffer and slip backward. We deplore this unrest and discourage ment among our people. We, tjhe Ministers,^ Teachers and Deacons of this associations desire to put our selves o]a record as bitterly opposing this migration. /\ Resolved first, We will begin a vig orous campaign in our field of labor and communities against this mi gration from the. farm. We pledge ourselves to do all in our power to quiet and encourage our people to stay on the farm., -ft'^M - Second, We appeal to land owners and merchants and the business .men to help us to stay this movement f5r we know all will suffer if this move ment is hot stopped. Third, We look with alarm upon the many hundred uncultivated farms and the deserted churches in our territory. We believe these con ditions can be changed if we all will work and cooperate together and set tle this unrest and save,the farm and the farmers. Fourth. We appreciate the fact that the land owners the merchant, the business man and the tiller of the soil have all been tried by these evil times, but we must cooperate and work faithfully together for the building of the Kingdom of our Christ and the development of our country. , REV.

Sparks World Famous Shows are ; hilled to exhibit at 'Greenwood, Sat-1 urday," October 14, and' from the newspaper reports preceding them their exhibition will be worth going many" miles to witness. < r0f the many features carried by j the show this season,- some of the Animal Acts are without doubt the most wonderful and . thrilling ever j presented to an American .audience. The big group of fighting forest-bred | lions/.all full grown males,^give an ?xhibition that is full of. thrills, and the audiende is left with a positive feeling of awe at man's wonderful mastery over the brute creation; Another extraordinary feature with the show is Capt. Tiebor's troupe of educated Seals and Sea Lions. These interesting sea animals perform the most seemingly impos sible feats; balancing chairs, umbrel las and whirling brands bf fire while climbing ladders, walking tight ropes and riding the backs of galloping horses. This feature baffles descripr! tion and must be seen to be. appre ciated. ^ "Many other, wonderful'things are to.] be seen with: this .mammoth show, and the main ' performance beneath the ba rents will present a ,number of the most ^marvelous foreign acts of the century. . The menagerie of wild animals car ried with the show is complete in every detail, and contains rare and curious specimens of the earth's most'j interesting and curious animals. A mile long street parade of daz zling*'splendor, beautiful women and handsome horses, interspersed with three brass bands and a steam sap] Jiope will traverse the streets short ly before noon, and this feature alone wili be worth going many miles, to see.
