EDGEFIELD, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1914
Need Merci-ant Marine.
We are impressed with the impor
tance of owning the ships that carry
our products to foreign countries. Only
vessois that fly neutral flags can ply
the high seas now with any degree of
safety, and the worst of it all is only a
few measly merchant-men sail under
the Stars and Stripes. It matters not
how our industries may prosper while
other nations are at war, it will be ex
ceedingly difficult to export either raw
material or manufactured products.
Contribute to the Fund.
A fund is being raised to enable South
Carolina to display its resources, along
with the other States, at the Panama
exposition in San Francisco. In order
that the work may be prosecuted sys
tematically an organization has been
effected known as the Sou th Carolina
Exposition Commission. The men who
are back of this very commendable un
dertaking are representative business
men from all parts of the State. The
newspapers are also putting their shoul
ders tc the wheel to the end that thc
necessary money be speedily raised.
As the exposition will open early next
spring, there is but little time left for
South Carolina to get everything in
readiness for the exhibit. ^
In order that those who contribute to
this fund may have something tangi
ble as an evidence of their having had
a part in making the South Carolina
exhibit possible, the commission has
had a number of bronze medals made
and one will he given to each individual
who contributes a dollar to the fund.
The Advertiser has received five medals
and will receive another shipment la
ter. Will not the Edgefield people
have a part in making the South Caro
lina exhibit possible? Send us a dollar
and we give you one of the medals.
The names of the contributors will be
published and the money sent to the
treasurer of the commission in Co
lumbia.
White Town Dots.
Mr. Editor:- It has been some
time since I have seen anything
from this part of the county, and I
thought I would give you a few
dots. We have had a good season,
the best since April 19.
Well, Mr. Editor, we will have
the campaign meeting here on the
8tb to which we invite you to come
and let the people see what sort of
look man you are, as you know thal
we are up here in this God-forsaken
country where the people can't get
out te see anybody.
We hope you will come, as we
expect to have a nice time if we
can, although it seems that the cam
paign meetings are getting to be
failures. It looks as if the people
have gotten so that they do not
want a good, straightforward, hon
est, law-abiding man to till our offi
ces. I can't see what will become of
our state if there isn't a change, for
it seems as if it is about as bad as
it was in '70. The time will soon ar
rive to go the ballot box and for
Heaven's sake, will the people try
to think "How shall I cast my bal
lot?" "Am I responsible for this
state of affairs?"
Hay Seed.
Game of Baseball.
Saturday will be a red letter day
at. White Town. In addition to the
political program, there will bc an
athletic feature in thc form of a
spirited gamo of baseball between
the Cleora and White Town
teams. Music on the handsome new
school piano will also alford pleas
ant diversion. It is quite probable
that the attendance Saturday will
be very large. It matters not how
large, however, the good people
will provide sufficient hash for
everybody, and that of the best
quality too.

What Others Say
Santa Claus Involved.
If German's toy industry is also tied
up, poor old Santa will have a lean
pack this year.-The State.
Hold Counter Caucus.
The Governor having cus sed out the
anti-Blease conference we may now
look for another Blease caucus. -Green
wood Index.
Peace Palace in Daager.
Carnegie would do well to take out
some accident insurance on his peace
palace at The Hague.-Greenville
News.
South Carolina's Late War.
This is thr nearest to a real war the
world has had since the closing days of
the last session of the South Carolina
legislature. -Spartanburg Journal.
"Uncle Sam" Happy.
Uncle Sam has plenty of muney, a
most peaceful disposition, and his fu
ture is altogether rosy, even if Europe
does have a big row. - Charleston Post.
Slaughtei of the Ignorant.
The people who do the killing and
the being killed in war have mighty
little to do with bringing it on. They
are only "food for power." Thousands
of poor Europeans will "bite the dust"
in this new war without ever knowing
what it is about.-Newberry Observer.
Citizenship and Neighborliness.
The earnest desire to be a help to
your neighbor and to be a factor in the
citizenship of your state are far better
indications of your worth than a big
fortune. You are fortunate if you
have accumulated wealth, but citizen
ship znd naighborliness are more im
portant.-Farm and Factory.
"Cleaner, Better Town."
No matter what sort of a town your
town is, there can be no better slogan
than, "A Cleaner and Better Town."
No town can be as prosperous and
happy as it ought to be while infested
by bums and vagrants and idlers and
blind tigers and other lawbreakers.
The best town, big or little, is where
the inhabitants are industrious, sober
and Jawabiding.-Newberry Observer.
An Eleventh-Hour Convert.
There is trouble in the Blease camp
over the evident leaning of the gover
nor towards J no. G. Richards, the new
convert. Candidate Simms has de
scribed him as a turn-coat and coat
tail swinger. Irby has also called him
a coattail swinger. Neither of these
candidates would like to see the "fat
ted calf" killed for this man who has
just come into the fold, while they
have born the heat and burden of the
day.-Newberry Observer.
Smile Provokers
'I hope, said one wife to another,
that you never nag your husband."
"Only when he is beating the
rugs. When he is thoroughly irri
tated he makes a much better job
of it."
She-You vowed that it would
be your aim to mak3 mv life naught
but one of happiness!
He-That's nothing! I believed it
at the time myself.-Boston Tran
script.
"How is it, inquired a young
bride of an older married friend,
that you always manage to have
such delicious beef?"
"It's very simple, said the older
woman, I first select ? good, honest
butcher, and then I stand by him."
"You mear ..:t, you give him all
of your tr
"No, J -n that I stand by him
while ! cutting the meat."
"i< is the duty of every one to
make at least one person happy
during the week, said a Sunday
school teacher. Now have you done
so, Johnny?"
''Yes, said Johnny promptly.
"That's right. What did you do?"
"I went to see ray aunt, and she
was happy when I weut home."
Bobby had been taught to re
member all his relatives when he
said his prayers. One night, as he
knelt at his mother's knee, he did
not mention the name of a favorite ?
aunt.
"Why, Bobby, said the mother,
yon didn't say God bless aunt Be
atrioe and make her happy."
"Well, mother, replied the little
boy, I don't have to say that any
more. Aunt Beatrice's ^engaged."
Ladies' Home Journal.
A small boy who was sitting next I
to a very haughty lady in a crowd
ed subway car kept on sniffling in a
most annoying manner. At last the ,
lady could bear ii uo longer and
turned to the lad.
"Boy, have you got a handker
chief?" she demanded. \
Tho small boy looked at her for r
a few seconds, and then, in a digni
fied tone, came the answer.
"Yes, I 'ave. but I don't lend it
to strangers."-St. . Louis Post Ois- *

BETTER PAINT
Better paint thia year if your
property needs it. Mistaken men
have been waiting for paint to come
down. The cost of their job has
gone up not down; it always goes
up by waitiug; never comes down.
Better paint than Devoe? There
isn't any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 30
years ago for a better paint than
Devoe; how long would he have
waited? How long would he still
have to wait?
The price a gallon makes some
difference; yes, but not much; it's
the paint that counts; the quality
counts.
It's the go-far that counts. Pro
tection of property counts more yet.
Bettor paint. Devoe.
