ENFIELD ADVERTISED Established 1835. J. L. XaiHS .... EDITOE TERMS: ONE YEAR.$1.60 SLX MONTHS - - . - .75 WMNESDA?, APRIL 87th, 1910. g Blake yourself an honest S S man, and then you may be sure S ! that there is one rascal less in S ? the world. - CARLYLE. "iuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiianiiitisT It was a waste of words for Mr. Roosevelt to advocate large families before a Parisian audience. It has bean estimated that millions of acres of cotton have been destroyed over the cotton belt, and mills are be i ng urged not to crush any more seed. Ladies' parasols had to be made lar ger this year in order to cover their millinery. Holding a 26-inch parasol over a 36-inch hat would be comic in the extreme. The mills that weave cotton goods for summer shirt waists consume pre cious little raw material. The producers of the staple should outlaw the peek-a boo waist. Columns are annually written about the "sweet girl graduates," while only a few paragraphs are penned about the N plodding college boy.- No wonder the boys drop out before graduation day ! The misunderstanding between Gen eral Boyd and Col. Brock is very unfortunate. If their mud-slinging continues, it is almost certain that a third man will be the next adjutant general. He Cittiel ccicts, 218 in number, will encamp in Greenwood for two weeks in July, which means that in or der to supply the demand Greenwood should have 218 pretty girls. If her supply is short, Edge?eld can lend her j s orne. But that would hardly do, as | Edgefield girls are so much prettier than the Greenwood girls, the contrast would be too marked. Hon. C. C. Featherstone is holding! court this week in Laurens, his home ' town, the local bar having asked that he be appointed to preside at a special term of court. What higher endorse ment can be accorded one, both pro fessionally and as to character? The withdrawal of Mr.' Manning has strengthened Mr. Featherstone in the race for governor. A genuine mid-winter blizzard raged throughout the northwest last week. Chicago and many other cities were clad in snow several inches deep. The dam?ge to fruit and vegetable baa been estimated at $30,000,000, which means that the cost of living will go still higher. As most bf the apples sold oh the southern market in winter are grown in the north and northwest, the effects of this very disastrous freeze will probably be felt by our peo ple next winter. Good Law Suggested. While the law makes it mandatory that 50 per cent penalty be added to all property not returned for taxation by February 20th, only a few counties enforce the law. In view of the gen eral failure to observe the law, the county board of equalization of Or angeburg county has passed a resolu tion urging the delegation to the gen eral assembly to pass a law imposing a fine or penalty of one dollar on every property owner whose returns are not made during the prescribed time. In our judgment this would be a good law. Something should be done to force the people to make returns. The auditors and equalization boards with hold the pe nal ty bec aus e of the enormous increase it would make in the already heavy tax burden. Afine of one or more dollars would increase the num ber of returns. Special Instruction During Sum , mer. We have been instructed to state that Prof. P. P. Burns, Maj. T. J. -Lyon and Prof. J. F. Entzminger will remain in Edgefield through "the summer and will give special in-" struction to any pupils who may be behind in their classes, or will also prepare students for entering any class in the higher colleges. Pupils for special instruction during "the summer are solicited from the coun try districts as well as from Edge field and the other towns in the ^county. These gentlemen can be 'seen in person at the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute or com municated with by mail.-Adv. ; Negro Killed at Church. About five o'clock Sunday after noon, Henry Mosely was shot ti death by Sam Wash, both colored, at Cochran church near MoultrieV m ill. Ill feeling has existed betweei. the parties for three years, threat having been made from time to time. Mosely was armed but wa*' killed while in the act of drawing his pistol. Statements are some: what conflicting as to the number oi shots fired by Sam Wash, one re port being three shots and anothei five. Henry was a tenant upon th farm of Mr. S. E. Morgan and San who surrendered to the sheriff Moti day morning worked for Mr. T. A Williams, Prize For Largest Hog. Senator Thomas H. Rainsford came to our office Monday morning and said ih effect, "I want to fol low up The Advertiser'6 prize for the'largest yield,'of corn with a prize of $10 io the person who exhibits the largest county^bred and county raised bog at the county fair next fall." The awarding of Mr. Rains ford's prize will be left with the fair association. Ye hog raisers, now get to work and let's have a num ber of hogs at the county fair that will rival elephants in size. It is very thoughtful and commendable in Mr. Rainsford to thus encourage and stimulate hog raising in the county. With the inducements that farmers of the bounty have to raise their "hog and honiin}'" at home, there ought to bn only a small quan tity of western products bought next year. - Jonec-Samuels. Mr. Allen Templeton Samuels and Miss Lizzie Lou Jones were quietly married at seven o'clock Wednesday evening, April 20th, at the home of the bride's parents, on Columbia street. Only the members of the immediate families were present to witness the marriage. The ceremony was performed by Dr. C. E. Bu.ts. The bride is the- only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Barn well Jones and is universally beloved on account of her gentle manner and amiable disposition. The groom is a young man of sterling qualities who holds the confidence and esteem of a large circle of friends and ac quaintances. This happy couple has been showered with congratulations and good wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Samuels will make their home for the pr?sent with Mr. and 31 rs. J. H. Cantelou. !

Through Planting Cotton, Stands of Corn Not Good Around Trenton. The farmers are almost through planting cotton but the weather is rather unfavorable to its growth. Several Advertiser prize corn patch es are planted around here. We hear many farmers complaining of poor stands of corn. Many planted the second time. The oat crop is not very good, in fact it seems that the crop will bc short. Mr. and . Mrs. W. M. Leppard have gone to Hot Springs for a month's stay. Dr. S. A. Morrall has been at Laurens during the past week at tending the State Medical Associa tion. Mi. and Mrs. Mack Rucher are visiting the family of Mr- J. M. Swearingen. Miss Margie Ryan spent the week end with the home folk. Mr. Matthews of Saluda is filling prescriptions at the Hughes drug store. I Mr. Otis Roper has sold his bar ber shop to Mr. Lem Stoudemayer. We hear that work on the elec tric plant at Seigler's mill is about ready to be started and now only one thing- is required. That thing is very necessary and without it the plan may be a failure. Mr. Seigler says he will start at the work at once provided patronage is-guaran teed.. It is time for our people to consider the matter and when Mr. Seigler comes around be ready to help push the work by subscribing for the horse power you need. WThat are we going to do?

JOHNSTON LETTER (Coutinned from page J) always a welcome visitor here, will arrive next week for a visit to rela tives. On Sunday morning at the Bap tist church, Revl^ M; Ii. Lawson tendered his resignation to take effect the middle of June, when he will go to Camden to serve the Dap list church there. This .comes as a great surprise to the members, as with probably a few exceptions there has been no intimation of bi* resigning. Rev. Lawson has been here over two years and bc is held in love and esteem by his flock. It is sincerely regretted that he will seek another field .of labor. Mrs. Virginia Watson has rented her home in town, arid moved out to live with her daughter, Mrs. Spann Toney, who resides near town. Mrs. Watson has made ber home here sim c the death of her husband, the late Mr. James Wat son, and her many friends regret that she is not in their midst. All the roads leading out from Johnston have been put in splendid condition by the convicts, as well as those in town, and .itis a pleasure to drive over them. Those who own oars, especially, traverse^ ihem. There arc a number here who own cars, Mr. A. J. Mobley being the last to make a purchase Miss Lucile Mobley left this week for. a month's stay with her sister, Mrs. Orlando Sheppard. Mrs. John Hill, of Edgefield, spent Sundav here with her daugh ter,. M rs. W. D. Ready. The quarterly meeting at Harmo ny was largely attended on Satur day and Sunday, the presiding elder, Dr. J. W. Daniel, preaching both days. The good ladies of the church by their efforts, secured and had placed upon the sacred desk on Sun dav, a very large and handsome Bible. Mr. J. A. Lott went up to An derson on Sunday for a short visit to his niece Mrs. Samuel Craig. Weather Very Unfavorable, 1 Large Acreage of Corn Will be Planted. Death of Mrs. Christie. Mr. Editor: After the nice rain on the 3rd Sunday, we were in hopes that with warm nights' and hot sun wo would soon have good stands of cotton, but it has been almost cold enough for frost ever sinca with high wind which has dried out the (and so much none has come up, or I can come until' it turns warmer, which we hope will be soon. People "in this section are about two-thirds done planting cotton while very little corn has been planted yet, but a big corn crop will be put in. Peo ple are preparing their land more thoroughly and will use more fer tilizer- on-ct^yje^ban usual. Mrs. M." A. Dhristie was taken suddenly ill Friday morning. She fell in the fioor soon after getting up and remained in an unconscious condition until Saturday evening at 6 o'clock when she died. All that could be done for her was done but she never revived. She leaves her husband and five children, all of wrhom are married except one daugh ter. At Cochran's negro church yes terday Sam Wash- shot and killed Henry Mosely as the congregation was coming out of church after preaching. There had been bad blood between them for some time. Both are negroes. Miss Alma Williams, who has been teaching the Brunson school this term, olosed her school last Friday with some recitations and drills by the children. Mrs. Cleora Tompkins is up spending some time with her father, Mr. A. L. B?unson. This is election year and it seems, that Moss township is going to fur nish her full quota of candidates. She bas four and we hear of others to come later. FARMER. Cleora, S C. Let us supply your table with new crop Georgia syrup, Blue Rib bon, Silver Drip, Silver Leaf syrup or Cuba molasses.

Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and better health in that organ is obtained quickest by a proper tre; tment of the kid neys.
