The Columbia State's Christmas edition on Sunday was a gem, and in keeping with the progressive spirit 9f this great daily. v ' J r I Both the Edgefield Chronicle and Edgefield Advertiser did themselves proud on their handsome Christmas editions last week. We^con gratulate Brothers Bacon and Mims. It i9 not the value of the Christmas gift that makes the receiver happy. A small gift with much real increasing progressivive love i9 worth a thousand times more than a very ex pensive one witnout love. ?:; ~~ An exchange wisely remarks: A business man trying to conduct his business without advertising may well be likened unto a bashful lover standing afar off in the darkness throwing a silent kiss to his sweetheart?he knows what he is doing but no one x else knows or cares. Just as we predicted, Edisto county met defeat at the hands of the voters of Lexington, Orangeburg and Aiken yesterday. This was to be expected, because had the county carried, it was apparent to all, even to the most enthusiastic new county advocate, that Edisto county would have been one of the poorest counties in South Carolina, which would have meant burdensome taxes for all time to come. We congratulate the voters upon their sound judgment, and assure them that our best efforts will ever be to make Lexington the grandest old county in the Palmetto State. RIGHT CLOTH!

Our visit to Swansea on last Thursday was very much enjoyed. We always love to mingle with the good citizens of this growing little town, j We found the merchants bright and [ cheerful though trade was not as good | as might be expected for the time of year. All of the stores present a holi| day scene, many of the displays bemg strikingly beautiful. Swansea is a good town and her people are progressive, prosperous and happy. The Swansea Bank building is almost completed and the interior is being fitted with up-to-date fixtures and furniture. A fine burglar proof safe has been enstalled and the bank | is now prepared to care for the funds i of its depositors. The statement of' this bank appears in another column. Mr. W. H. F. Rast has the brick on the ground for his brick store on the Hf-.hpr hnildirifr imnrovements WAUVA. 0 X ' are going on at Swansea. The Lewi6dale Dispensary. The people of Lewiedale, Lexington county, do not want a dispensary, and they have taken a very simple method to rid themselves of the institution. Every store, and, in fact, every establishment in the town has been rented out and the lease on the store now used by the dispensarv expires in January and therefore will not be relet. As a result there is no place for the dispensary, and the chairman of the Lexington county ! board, R. L. Keisler, was in the city yesterday to consult with the authorities. The Carey-Cothran law ;[does not allow a dispensary to be closed unless voted out, provided it was in existence when the new law "went into effect, but as there is no place available for the dispensary it seems that as a matter of necessity the place will have to be closed. This, it is said, means a long fight for prohibition in the town.?The State, 16th. State Teachers' Association. The next meeting of the State Teachers' Association will be held in Columbia Dec. 30, 31, and Jan. 1, and it promises to break all records for attendance.

Fresh as the grass'our bodies stand, And flourish bright and gay; The Lord has come in our home again And took our dear brother away. Dearest one, you have left us, And lonely our hearts today; How we miss your gentle footsteps, And each word you had to say. i Dear one, how I loved you! No pen can write no tongue can tell; j But the gentle shepherd called you, I We must bid you a long farewell. By his sister, HATTIE. i Farmer Hilled by Son. !
