county, where she has been engaged
to teach music and three other
grades in the graded school of Zeb
in that county. She spent Friday
night in Columbia as the guest of |
Mrs. Burts. Miss Hortense will be j
missed in the church and communi

great addition to the community in
to which ?she goes as teacher, es
pecially on account of her musical
gifts of which she knows how to
make practical use.
Candidate For The State Senate
Not only are the races for govern-1
or and the United States senate
gradually .'assuming definite shape
for next year's campaign but the
county poliical pot is also begin
ning to simmer. We understand
that Mr. Giles D. Mims will proba

ate next summer instead of the I
House as heretofore reported. He
was in town Monday shaking hands |
with his friends.
An Industrious Bachelor.
Good reports from cotton pickers
continue to come in, but, all things
considered, Mr. Donald Smith is en
titled to first place. He has been
picking more than 400 pounds a|
day and cooking his own meals be
sides. Ye Antioch-Red Hill girls,
?ou had better by some hook ori
crook entrap this industrious young
bachelor.
Fame Has Gone Abroad

The Advertiser is pleased to note
hat a military company has been
>rganized at North, with Mr. A.
\. Glover as captain. They have
nade a wise selection in electing
Vir. Glover their superior officer.
For a number of years he was one
)f the most efficient and most active
nembers of the Edgefield Rifles.
Vir. Glover's loyalty and faithful
less has had much to do with keep
ng the historic old company up to
i high standard. We expect to hear)
?ood reports from Capt. Glover's

Jamestown Exposition, and as the
exposition did not prove successful,
the orchestrania was never used,
and after several attempts Mr.
Haag was fortunate enough to se
cure it, and then only to lease it for
this season, and it returns to Wur

of the present season with The

was originally brought to this coun

Senator Tillman Active.
"Senator Tillman has to me the
appearance of a man good for at
least 10 or 12 years more of active
public service," said Gen. U. R.
Brooks, clerk of the supreme court,
Thursday, on his return from a visit
to Edgefield county. He saw the
I senior senator at Trenton Wednes
day.
"The senator's eye is clear and
mentally he seems to have lost none
of his characteristic acumen," said
Gen. Brooks. "He retains an active
interest in all public affairs and
keeps himself well posted on the de
velopments from day to day. I
found him busy cutting 'roughness'
into ensilage and stowing it away
in his large silos to feed his cattle
during the winter. He takes constant
delight in all the work of his farm. "

How to Kill Weevils.
4 How shall I keep cowpeas over
for seed to avoid weevils?" Get a
good lot of the naptha moth balls
from a drug store and mix them all
through the peas and then fstore
them in tightly covered barrels or
boxes. This is the method seeds
men use. If weevils appear at any
time, open the peas and place some
carbon bisulphide in a saucer on
top of them and close up, and the
fumes will sink through and kill the
weevils. Keep fire away from this
as the fumes are explosive, But
the moth balls will usually prevent
any weevils.-Progressive Farmer.
