The Aiken Times says: The de-
mand for stone from the Edgefeld
quarry has become so great that
trains are now hauling it over the
C. c. G.. C. road both day and
night. Yes, and some day wien
the government has filled up the
Atlantic ocean with Edgefeld rock
the Edgefeld rock quarry will be-
come a source of revenue and the
means of building our town city
ward, and it might be good plan
to organize an Edgefeld Rock
Quarry Co., even now, with a view
to making q fulflment of such a
promise.

zone year ago l told Jas we would
hat'er drap the sub-treasury. Now

Cotton Predictions.
The prediction is freely made
that cotton will 60 up 2 cents
within the next sixty days. A New
York firm is holding 10000 bales
for the rise, but we would not ad-
wise anyone to plant big crop of
cotton on New York mans judg-
ment.
UP TO the Neck.
From conversations with farm
ers from different portions of the
county, we gather that they are
full of hope and determination to
make spoon or spoil a horn this
year in their farming operations.
! Whether it be the early spring or
the fine grain prospects, one or
both, that make them so joyously
anticipant, we do not know. But
SO it is, they are full up to the neck
and running over.
The Tightest Wrestle.
The tightest wrestle in Edgefeld
county as between Butler and Till
man will be in old Meriwether
Township, the township in which
both have their legal residence and

is the township in which Sheppard

by only eight votes. The indlca-

slightly ahead of Butler in this
township, and we get this by an
accurate count of noses.
A Wise Beast.
The big elephant belonging to
Halls shows which exhibited here
on Tuesday is evidently judge of
good flour. While the delivery
wagon of J. M. Jones & Son was
at the depot on the morning named
being loaded with flour, this huge
beast made for it. The negro driver
seeing this mountain of flesh ap-
preaching with snout up, ''lit OUT
| to parts unknown. Whereupon
his elephantine majesty deliber-
ately went up to the wagon and eat
up two ffty-pound sacks of the
famous Obelisk flour. Ofany other
brand it is probable that one sack
would have suficed. However,
Epps Norris says she would have
eaten a barrel of it had it been
Omega.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables in Ed dge-
field county must have been badly
damaged by the freeze of Monday
night, although the leaves on the
peaches and peals were some pro-
lection. Speclal dispatches to the
daily papers of Tuesday morning
say: "In the fruit sections of mid
die and southern Georgia peaches,
plums, and pears, early vegetables
and watermn1ons have heen on
