[For the ADVERTISER.
Now and Then.

Mr.. EDITOR: Every winter, ap-
plications are made to our Legis-
lature to form new counties out of
existing ones, some of which ap-
pear to have sound reason in them
for the proposed change. Now,
several Of our counties are too
large, but how to accomplish the
division without damage to other
sections is the question. Our own
county, Edgefeld, is quite large,
but since the formation of Aiken
county it seems almost an impossi-
bility to arrange another without
injuring the remaining part.
Greenwood and Saluda are knock
ing at the door, both demanding ad-
mission without. much prospect of
success. We all know that the
southeast portion of our county is
a long way from the courthouse,
in one place forty-fve miles or
more, and if they could get the CO.
operation of a portion of Lexing-
ton county they might succeed in
establishing a new county, but the
trouble is that the Saluda people
are not united in the matter, some
advocating the Greenwood plan,
others the Saluda plan. Now, the
writer of this has no choice. Living
within six miles of Edgefeld he
is confetti to let things remain as
they are, yet he cannot but SYM
pathize with those living farther
off, and would respectfully advise
a general understanding and union
of sentiment among the saluda
people if they wish for success
Greenwood is flourishing place,
and a new county up there. seems
st first sight to be all right, but
would 1t not interfere with Saluda
and possibly other interests? Rest
assured there is no chance for
either county unless the advocates
of the two come to some better ur-
derstanding in the matter.
Now, as to the deplorable condi-
tion of the farmers, what can be
done for them? For the man out
of debt the solution is easy, but
for the one in debt it is hard to
find. Let us all plant extensively
of provisions, and only moderately
of cotton. With the staff of life,
meat, potatoes, poultry, and stock
in abundance we could afford to
give away our cotton at 4! and 5
cents per pound.
Habit is second nature, and is
lard to overcome. Having been
for years in the old rut, few, I fear,
will strive to get out. Some are
silly enough to say that the lower
the price, the more cotton they will
have TO plant to enable them to
have any cash at all. If this plan
is carried out they will be entitled
to the name of cottontots, and Will
remain hewers of wood and draw
ers of water for the balance of
time.

mond has proposed to extend the
time for the payment of taxes un-
til March 10th, 1895, it will help

History repeats itself. Cotton
brought low price in the forties,
but then people had provisions at
home and could afford to sell at 4
or 5 cents; now, unfortunately,
cotton al S and 10 cents would not
more than place us even with those
good old days, so we are encouraged

not sneer at old things, but re-
member the good out numbered
the evil in many respects.

A Suggestion.

Supervisor NJ. A. Whittle will
take charge of Edgefeld county
affairs, under the new county gov
ernment law, about the first of
January, 1895, and he could not
signalize his administration in the
outset in a better way than by re-
tanning Capt. A. C. Williams as
keeper of the County Poor House.
1t has been in the past, scarcely a
reputable thing, in the eyes of the
world, to keep a poor house, but
this Christian gentleman has made
it an eminently respectable and
honorable calling by the manner
in which he has administered its
affairs and discharged his duties.
He has cared for those under him
in this elemosynary institution as
father would his own children,
and at a less expense to the county
than any previous incumbent, SC
far as we can gather from the
records. Such combinations
high conception of duty and the
will and ability to do it's not
often met with in one and the same
person, and should be recognized
and appreciated. If Supervisor
Whittls knows of a better man fo1
keeper of the Poor House let him
be appointed, but it will not be
wise for the county, or good policy
on his part, to make any expert
ments in this line. We say this
much alone in the interest of a
good administration of the county
aims house. Capt. Williams is
no patron, friend, or retainer of this
paper,

To Keep Meat.

The following is submitted as a
good way to save meat and keep it
from the flies: After laying in salt
five or six weeks, take it out and
rub it thoroughly with asafntida,
ailanthus, or heaven tree leaves,
dog-fenneI, and kerosene oil. By
so doing you will never be bothered
with flies or shippers, and they say
that even a darky will not trouble
meat so treated.

his long life, had filled many
offices of trust in Edgefeld county !;
he was twice member of the Leg

CATION. He was honest, sincere,
truthful in all things. In business
matters his word was his bond AID
he was as upright as a Roman judge
of those days "when to be a Roman
was greater than king" His
family, in his name alone, have a
legacy beyond all price.

How to Make Soap.

One day last week Eb. Reynolds,
who lives the other side of Lick
skillet, was sent by his wife TO the
village, to bring her box of con-
centrated lye, as she wanted to
make some soap. Eb. says that
being short of change instead of
buying the lye he went into the
office of an Edgefeld editor and
asked for two of his old papers.
On reaching home he used these
papers for making the soap. He
says the soap was SO strong it ate
up the clothes-''just 'et 'em up"
Eb. told US this with his own lips.
Friends, you all know Eb. Roy
nolds and you know he wouldn't
tell a lie for a whole box of lye.
Now, the conundrum we PROFOUND
is this: Send US ten cents or q
bale of cotton and your guess and
we'll tell you whose paper it was
that msde such strong soap. Maybe
Eb. got paper from each Office.

"Many people are thinking that it
is about time to let Edgefeld pa
triots rest a while and give others
a chance to pick political pluns.
But those fellows up on the hill
start so soon and travel so fast
that it takes very early riser to
get ahead OF them. And here's
young lawyer Thurmond who, by
introducing a bill to extend tax
paying time until next March, has
made himself solid with a mighty
majority of the voters of the

commencement Notes.
Commencement Nav Is,

Commencement May Is.
Admission to exercises 10 and Is cts.
The class this year is the smallest
for years; it consists of but four mem
bers.
Miss Ella Bostwick completes the
Latin course, Miss Jennie Kelso and
Miss Agnes Robinson complete the
English course, and Miss Clara Klau-
mann completes, as post graduate,
the Latin course.
This is ladies' year and the men,
bers of this class are ardent woman
suffragists. They have planned to de-
vote their energies for Commencement
to the cause and hence all orations will
be in support of the emancipation of
women. The three ladies first men,
toned in the list above will deliver
orations.
A small class this year is the result
of the Encouragement of our High
School course. Three years ago our
Board of Education changed the course
| from three to four years, with the pro-
vision that all who had entered at that
time upon three years. courses should
be permitted to complete them. The
young ladies who complete work this
year fell under the terms of this pro-
vision, though some of them have done
more work than was provided for the
course upon which they had entered.
They were not quite ready to gradu-
ate last year. Had they finished last
year, this year we would have had no
class. Our first regular class in the
orc1 xr-in nradna 70 nnNt
year and it is large class.
All who believe in woman suffrage
will be pleased that our graduates this
year start right upon entering the
world and will commend them in their
choice OF a theme.
Those who are opposed to the cause
the young ladies champion will infin-
itely prefer that they should have pos
tive convictions upon the subject than
that they should have no convictions.
And all will unite in approving the
good Judgment of our girls in taking
up some live subject of the day-a sub
ject upon which they have thought
and felt deeply-in preference to the
f1owery, sentimental production so
characteristic of Commencement Day,
the production that starts at Greece,
dizzily whirls over all creation and
subsidies with a final apostrOphe to
Rome. We feel thankful that it mas
not been habit with lola high school
graduating classes to bore their au-
diences with such material, and we
are glad that this years class is set
ting so good an example to classes that
shall follow.
Sale of reserved seats for Com
mencement will begin at 8 O'Clock
sharp tomorrow Saturday morning.
Tickets fifteen cents.
General admission tickets will be
on sale next Tuesday morning unless
all seats in the house are reserved prior
to that time. Tickets 10c.

ty-Equality." -
