We Stand Corrected.
In our last issue we stated that
Hon w. r. Parks had voted for the

to know that all the delegation are
in favor of salary reduction bill
and have so voted. We take off
our hats to the Edgefeld delega-
ton and say: Give 'em fits, knock
'em high!

The Edgefield Farmer.
This paper has ceas' d to make
its weekly and welcome visits to
it's patrons. Whether this will be
permanent or cnly temporary, we
are not advised. The Farmer sus-
pended, not for want of apprecia-
ton or on account of editorial
shortcomings. Editor James T.
Parks welded a trenchant pen,
and his editorial deliverances were
widely copied. But friends, coun-
trymen, and lovers, The Farmer
went down because eve are too
thick to thrive" That is the long
and short of it. We are all hard
up-Jim Bacon, Jim Parks, and
Tom Adams-we all sing the same
song, and if neither one of the
Jims will sing it for you, come
around to the Advertiser Office
YOU can hear it there any time OF
