rhc Other Side of the Yeldell
and Gaines Matter.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me to
give through your columns a few
of the many expressions from rep
resentative men from different Sec
tions of the county concerning
Yeldell, Gaines and those who
have taken upen themselves the
privilege of abusing them through
your columns.
Some say: They are greedy fel-
lows, who are willing to rob Yel-
dell and Gaines with the hope of
getting that one hundred and fifty
dollars themselves, when the peo'
pie would not think of electing
such fellows to fill the places of as
good men as Yeldell and Gaines.
Some say: The people are satis-
fed with matters as they stand;
the kickers are chose who would
fly over the county like buzzards,
were our representatives to resign.
Some say: We don't want them
to allow those long earned consti-
tuition expounders to bluff them
into resigning. We don't want to
be bothered with such fellows
prowling over Edgefeld county
hunting votes.
Some say: A newspaper man is
doing the kicking all by himself
and they can't see his object.
Some say: Yeldell and Gaines
are fools for condescending to
notice such fellows.
Some say: They do not read the
stuff that the ADVERTISER allows
it's correspondents to crowd it's
columns with, but think those gen.
tlemen should hold on.
Some say: If Yeldell aid Gaines
would throw few bones to those
fellows they would quit barking at
them.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if those fell
lows continue to howl and you in
tend to make any charge for al
lowing them to bore your readers
and for putting them with head
lines, please do so at once and put
quietus upon them. If you will
publish this I will promise not to
worry your readers with anything
more from me.
JUSTICE.

MARY cANTELoU BRUNsoN

On last Saturday afternoon at 8
o'clock the sad and grief-stricken
friends of Mrs. Arthur Brunson
gathered in the Baptist Church to
pay their loving tribute to her
memory. In spite Of the exceed
ingly inclement weather, many
from country and town were pres
ent. Mrs. Brunson was the only
daughter of the late Rainsford
Cantelou, Esq, and Mrs. Mary
Cantelou. Fourteen months ago
Mrs. Brunson was married. at her
home by Rev. J. P. Mealing, who
also received her confession .sof
faith in her Saviour many years
ago, and also oficiated with the
assistance. of DR.. L. R. Gwaltney,
at her funeral ceremonies His
words were full of,comfort to the
bereaved, and an inspiration TO q
better and more useful life to all
who listened to them. Mrs: Brun-
son was beloved with intense de-.
votion by her husband, brothers,
and mother, for she was a woman
Of tender sympatEies, and full Of
loving deeds, and self-sacrifcing
love for those about her. The Lord
knoweth them that are His" and
often sends the reaper to take
them ere the hearts o. earth's loved
ones are prepared to- relinquish
them. Butso it seemsjgood in His
sight, and who can question the
wisdom of the Almighty, for His
ways ars past finding out. ''There-
fore be ye also ready, for ye know
not the day nor the hour, wherein
the Son of Man cometh.". :: ::
There hopes sweet flowers eternal
bloom
While seasons come and go,
Untouched by sorrows chilling winds,
That blight us here below.
But with that bright, angelic throng,
And friends who'ye goEe beforet
Well praise the God around the throne
In heaven, forever more|

Brag Dog is a Good Dog No
Doubt About That.-But
HOldtight is Better.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS you well know
each county is entitled to one Sen
ator-no more nor no less-and
yet virtually Greenwood has two
Senators and Edge6eld none. And
that is not as it should be. Yet
some people-people witha mo-
tive perhaps-say that we had bet
ter let the Greenwood gentlemen"
hold their Edgefeld Offices; that
said gentlemen" will do as well
as any. and that to hold another
election will be trouble and ex"
pense for nothing. Out upon such
reasoning. tits. not right for a
Greenwood man to hold an Edge
field office and make laws for the
Edgefeld people, and no amount
of argument can make it right
and if it is not right, why we as a
free people should battle for the
right until the a0ro'ag is remedied.
And the miserable bosh that a
Greenwood mai can represent us
as we'll as an Edgefeld man, is q
doctrine altogether against COM
mon sense and the rights of the
people. Therefore, so. long as the
"Greenwood gentlemen" Gaines
and Yeldell, refuse TO give up their
illegally held Offices, 80 long ought
the people denounce them as vain
Pretenders and arrogant Usurpsrs.
To these views, Mr.. Editor, hum
IDLY but honestly given, I will ever
