The writer took a hurried look at
the poultry exhibited at the state
Fair Saturday last, and while there
were a greater number of Rhode Is
land Reds than any other one breed,
yet we saw none that excelled the
Rhode Island Reds that Mr. J. H.
P. Roper won the four blue ribboDS
on at our County Fair.
In his speech at the County Fair
Congressman Lever said: "It is a
sad picture to see a farmer come to
town in the spring to buy hay to
feed amule t? kill grass in order to
make cotton with which to buy more
hay." If you do not want a place
in such a picture sow a large acre-:
age in wheat and oats:
The friends of Mr. Orlando Shep
pard, who has been quite indispos-:
ed for three weeks, will be glad to
kno.w that he is now steadily im
proving. Acting upon the advice
of his physician, Mr. Sheppard, ac
companied by Mrs. Sheppard, will
leave for Hot Springs, N. C., this
week.
A Tienten lady stepped the wri
ter on the streets of her own little
city Saturday morning and in
speaking of the great success of the
County Fair remarked that she was
f/ery "proud of Edgetleld." We
thanked her for the kindly and cor
dial feeling for our town and for
the beautiful spirit of co-operation
manifested toward the Fair.
Mrs. A. S. Tompkins went down
to Augusta Monday and at the re
quest of Mr. Robert Berckmans car
ried a number of her fine chrysan
themums to exhibit at the Georgia
Carolina Fair. Mr. Berckmans has
said on more than one occasion that
he has never seen finer chrysanthe
mums grown anywhere than those
exhibited at Edgefield's Fairs.
It was a great disappointment to
Mrs. Abner Broadwater that her
v.iry fine chrysanthemums were ex
cluded from the Johnston Flower
Show, having arrived about ten min
utes after the hour /for closing en
tries. However, Mr. Balk, the ex
perienced florist from Augusta who
acted as judge, pronounced them to
be among the finest chrysanthemums
that he had ever seen anywhere.
In renewing his subscription a few
days ago, and remarked that he
would rather pay $2.50 than do
without The Advertiser. Yet there
are a few persons who think a coun
ty paper should be published for ?1
per year, only a few however. To
publish a paper such as The Adver
tiser is, requires a considerable sum
of money each month.
Death of Little Louise Miner
The friends of Mr. and Mrs. T.
?. Miner sympathize deeply with
them in the death of their youngest
child, Louise, a sweet little girl of
five years, which occurred at their
home at Plum Branch Friday after
noon last. This is the first death
that has ever occurred in this happy
home. The bereaved parents should
find comfort in the fact that little
Louise now rests safely in the arms
of Jesus.
Very Elaborate Stag Dinner.
Mrs. John R. Tompkins is an
artist, a musician, is skilled with
the needle, an excellent housekeep
er, and her esthetic taste and very
unselfish nature make her a queen
among entertainers. Wednesday
evening last Mr. and Mrs. Tomp
kins gave a stag dinner in honor of
'heir brother-in-law, Hon. H. F.
Powell, and, with one accord, the
twenty-odd guests declared it to be
the most delightful function of the
kind ever held in Edgefield. Al
though no member of the fair sex
appeared upon the scene it could be
easily discerned that a woman of
exquisite taste and possessing un
usual gifts as an entertainer planned
and directed everything pertaining
to the dinner. The menu which was
more elaborate than that of the lun
cheon given in Columbia in honor
of the Presideut was as follows:
Oyster Cocktail Salted Wafers
Stewed Oysters Oysterettes
Turkey Cranberry Sauce Celery
Potato, Chips
Green Peas on Rosette Wafers
Pickles Biscuits Crackers
Coffee and Whipped Cream
Waldorf Salad on Lettuce Crackers
Ambrosia Three kinds of Cake

Quarterly Conference at Parks

Tbe fourth quarterly conference
was held at Parksville Saturday,
December 6th. New trustees were
elected for the parsonage at Parks
ville, and the conference empower
ed them to receive bids on the par
sonage to be put before the 5th
quarterly meeting to be held at
Plum Branch December 2nd. We
will then have a sermon by Rev. J.
C. Roper in the morning, dinner on

attendance and hope every member
will bc present.
It is desired of the Plum Branch
church to move or sell the parson
age at Parksville and re-invest same
at Plum Branch. All who wish to
make bids on the parsonage can
submit same to either of the follow

Resolutions by Friendship Ma
sonic Lodge.
Whereas it has pleased Almighty
God, the Great Architect of the Uni
verse to remove by death from time
to eternity Dr. Robert C. Mason,
therefore, be it resolved:
1st. That by the death of Bro.
Mason, Friendship Lodge loses one
of its oldest, as well as one of its
most worthy and faithful members,
the country a patriotic and upright
citizen, the medical profession an
energetic and successful physician
and his family a kind and indulgent
father and husband.
2nd. That we extend to the be
reaved family our hearty sympathy
in this great sorrow, and commend
them to our Heavenly father who
in all his dealings with his children
never makes a mistake.
3rd. That a blank page in our
minute book be inscribed to his
memory, and that the Lodge be
draped, and that the brethren wear
the usual badge for thirty days.
4th. That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to the family, and that
they be published in two county
pa pers.

Gold Already on Hand.
Hundreds ol' indhiduals allover
the county are eagerly awaiting the
announcement of the result of The
Advertiser's corn contesi. The an
nouncement has been delayed, on
account of the late planting of some
of the "pet acres." At the earliest
possible moment, after all of the
corn has been gathered and tile cen
tral committee has made its report
the result will be made public. The
Advertiser already has the gold on
hand, ready to be awarded. In
whose pockets will it jingle?
Have Learned at Last.
Farmers are responding all along
the line to The Advertiser's appeals
in the matter of sowing wheat and
oats. Mr. C. M. Williams, one of
the leading wheat growers of the
co' nty, some time ago reserved
about seventy-five bushels of wheat
to sell for seed instead of having
it ground into flour. As The Adver
tiser man is in the market for some
seed wheat, we asked Mr. Williams'
son a few days ago whether his
father could supply our need, and
his reply was: ' We have sold all of
the seed wheat we had and could
have sold 500. bushels more." To
speak plainly: the farmers of Edge
field county (the writer included)
are "learning some sense." They are
tired of putting their hard earned
dollars into the pockets of the
growers of western eora and wheat.
They have learned that they can
grow these necessities at home
cheaper than they ~ can* buy them,
even with fifteen cents cotton.

Enlarging Their Stock.
Messrs. Stewart & Kernaghan
are wide-awake, aggressive mer
chants and are making a success of
the hardware business. They pur
chase in lar??e quantities and give
their patrons the advantage of their
close buying. This firm has leased
the second story of the Parker
building and will convert it into a
large storage room. A stairway will
be erected on the inside of their
store leading to the second floor
and a freight elevator will be b uilt
on the rear end of the building.
Lecture Bore Fruit immediately
The Womau's Christian Tem per
ice Union,* whioh organization is
misunderstood and misjudged by
some persons, never loses an oppor
tunity to scatter sunshine and flow
ers in the pathway of the needy
and deserving. Its members pre
sented Dr. Sears, the inimitable ly
ceum lecturer, with a large bouquet
of very fine ch ry g nt hemums at the
train when he departed Tuesday
morning. This was a beautiful ex
pression of commendation and a
bidding of G??d-speed from these
thoughtful Christian ladies.

Red and Blue Ribbon Contest
We learned Monday, through
that very excellent citizen, Mr. John
W. Adams, that the members of the
Colliers Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union have inaugurated a
very spirited Red and Blue mem
bership contest. The plan is this:
The membership is divided, one
side adopting red as their color and
the other wearing a small piece of
blue ribbon. The two sides vie with
each other in their efforts to secure
the greatest number of new mem
bers. The side that loses-secures
the smallest number of members
entertains the members of the win
ning side. Such contests not only ad
vertise the organization and increase
the membership of the local union
but'afford'a great deal of pleasure
and diversion for the members.

Sho lld Break Land in the Fall.
The larger part of the land should
be broken in the fall for the follow
ing reasons:
V. We are not as busy in the late
fall and winter as we are in the
spring:
2. The grass, tr?sli, etc;, is turned
under to decay.
3. Insoluble plant food is brought
to the surface where the frost and
air can change it to soluble plant
food.
4. Housed insects are exposed and
frozen. .
5. The soil is rough and loose so
that it will drink in the rain that
falls.
G. To permit the air to circulate
in the subsoil.
7. To let the water escape from
the surface without rur.ning over
the ground and wishing ' off.

Do You Get Up

Kidney Trouble Blakes You Miserable.
Almost everyone knows of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and

m Root fulfills almost
every wish in over

pain in the back, kid

corrects inability to
hold water and scaldingpain in passingit,
or bad effects f ollowinguse of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night.
Swamp-Root is not recommended for
everything but if you have kiduey, liver
or bladder trouble, it will be found just
the remedy you need. It has been thor
oughly tested in private practice, and has
proved so successful that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al

sent free by mail, also a book telling

HINTS ~FO^ 'FARMERS]
The Farm Wood Lot.
The first snow of winter should ba
made use of in getting up the supply
of fuel for another year, says Ameri
- can Cultivator. It ls much better to
do this before the snow becomes so
deep as to make the work harder. The
careful farmer has looked over his
wood- lot and calculated as to what
portion should be taken out for wood
or timber. As these products are be
coming scarcer every year, it ?should
be the aim of every farmer to tc the
best care of the wood lot and select
out the trees for wood and timber that
lt may be kept in a thrifty, growing
condition right along.
The past season, owing to the long
period of dry weather, much timber j
was killed by the forest fires that pre
vailed in so many places, causing dis
aster and loss. Of course on such
tracts the burned and ruined trees
will have to be removed and used to i
the best advantage possible. The value
of the wood lot should" eyer be in mind |
and its future usefulness insured.
Poultry In Winter.
Keep the scratching sheds or the
floors of the poultry houses well bed
ded, as the fowls need exercise to
warm np their bodies these cold, frosty
mornings.
Give an extra allowance of grain at
night, scattering lt among the litter
so that the fowls can be induced to ex
ercise before they get their regular
breakfast.
There is no better winter breakfast
for the stock than equal parts, by
weight, of bran, middlings, ground
oats, cornmeal and meat scraps, to
which add its bulk in cooked cut clo
ver hay and 5 per cent of linseed meal.
Mix the ground grain with the tea.
made by cooking the clover.
At noon g' - some cut up vegetables,
and twice a week give some cut green
bone.
The grain food at night should be ab
equal part each of wheat and cora.
Cracked corn is preferred.-Farm JotnS
nal.
Cottonseed Meal For Cows.
Cottonseed meal is one of the more
Important nitrogenous concentrates
used in feeding live stock. There is a
prevalent belief, however, that if fed
for long periods to dairy cows it will
injure the health of the animals to a
certain extent. The South Carolina
experiment station undertook a ifeed
ing test with dairy cows to show the
fallacy of this theory and that when
free of the hulls there were no injuri
ous effects. Corn silage and cotton:
seed meal were fed to ten cows, and
the results obtained were entirely sat
isfactory. They .showed that cotton
ann A mool TTT>I?.TI fn? in / n ?iin/ttfnn
seed meal when fed in c nj unction,
with good silage may be fed to the ex- .
tent of from five to six pounds per cow
dally without affecting the health of
the animal. Instead, thc cows kept iu
an exceptionally good state of health.
The yield of butter fat was increuscd.
ES was also the milk flow.-Drovers' ?jg
Journal.

New Cow Feeding Tests.
An experiment in feeding cows
which it is believed will be watched

Grote and His Wife.
The wife of the historian Grote
must have been an extraordinary wo
man. She rode without a saddle, she
was not afraid to put off in a boat
without a man. and she was plucky
enough to marry her lover without
permission and return home without
saying a word about it. Sydney Smith
described this lady and her lord in his
happy fashion, "I do like them both
so much, for he is ladylike, and shelf
a perfect gentleman."
