In Coiored Society.
REPORTED BY A Niger.

About ten days ago Tom Davis lost
couple of his little children. Tom
lives on what he calls the "Cheatham
Land Loan place." which is about
three miles from our town. Well, Tom
lost two of his children and didn't
know where to find 'em. He called in
his friends and neighbors, Jim Knox
and John Knox and Hanse Knox and
Alfred Morgan and Aaron Gray and
Jim Jones and George Waldo to set
sup on" the case, or in other words, to
help him find his children.
Well, about the time they had set on
the case until they were tired, along
came Rev. Wash Oliphant and made
this suggestion: Let some of you climb
up good sized pine tree and look a
long time all over Bro. Davis's cotton
patches and wherever he sees the
grass and weeds wave and move when
the wind isn't blowing, there's where
you'll find his children. This plan was
adopted. Jim Jones, being the young
est and the ugliest, climbed the tree,
and, sure enough, this is the way they
found Tom Davis's children, for way
off in the distance he saw the grass
and weeds moving. And they do say
that the reason Rev. Oliphant knew so
we'll how to find lost children was that
ne had sight smart weeds and grass
himself, and knew how to find other
folks children by the same way he
found his own step-grandchildren.
But don't let it git no furder than the
gate post.

THE ELEc ton
The election in Edgefeld county

The election in Edgefeld county
passed without special incident.
The vote was about a normal ons
and, without waiting for complete
returns, we can say that Tillman
and Featherstone have received the
majority of Edgefeld votes for
governor, running neck and neck.
Ellerbe has fallen way behind.
McMahan for Superintendent OF
Education, and Floyd for Adjutant
and Inspector General, are notably
ahead of other candidates on the
State ticket. ...2gd5yi
In the comfy election Sheppard
leads at every box heard from, and
will probably go in by a majority
of four hundred votes.
w. A. strom and George Evans
lead for the House, with P. B.
Mayson and J. L. Smith following.
Haltiwanger and Watson are
neck and neck, with Haltiwanger
a little ahead.
Minis and Bell are leading
for County Supervisor. A second
primary will be necessary with
reference to this Office.
Lott and Nicholson will proba-
bly, have to run over for School
Commissioner.
Of course, Capt. Tom Morgan
and Judge Allen are solid as Glib
raltar.
This election determines very
little as to who is elected. Shep-
pard for the State Senate and the
Auditor, County Treasurer, and
Judge of Probate's being the only
Offices certainly filled, and there
will be more Offices to fill IN the
second election than were filled by
the first.

To the Churches Composing the
Edgefield Baptist Association.

Itgives me great pleasure to an-
nounce that DR.. Montague, the
president of Furman University,
will be with US at the ensuing ses-
sion of our association, to be held
with the Red Oak Grove Baptist
church; and allow me to express
the hope, that all of the churches
will send up strong delegations to
meet him, and the other distin-
guished representatives of the va
rious objects fostered by our de-
nomination.
Allow me to urge the brethren,
who are chairmen of committees,
appointed at our last session to
submit reports at this meeting, to
be ready with full and we'll consid-
cred reports. If any chairman
sees that he cannot DO present, let
him be certain to notify the next,
or some other member of his COM
mittee to prepare the report. If this
suggestion is needed, the work Of
the association will proceed
promptly and orderly, and much
more effective work will be ac-
complished.
The brethren who were appoint
ed 10 represent the Aged Minister'S
Fund, in their respective churches,
are also earnestly requested to
send up reports on this important
matter.
Let us all go up to our meeting
with prayerful, hearts, and with
our minds fixed on the work of the
Lord; and if we will only do this,
we can make the ninety-frst ses-
sion of our grand old association
one of the best and most profitable
in her history.

Moderator.

We regret to hear of the sickness OF
Mr.. J. A. Zimmerman. He went home
from his store on last Friday afternoon
feeling a little unwell and is now con-
fined TO his bed with fever. 1t is hoped,
however, that it is nothing serious.
During his sickness his nephew, hand
some young Ben Zimmerman, and our
old friend w. E. Dobey will attend to
his store.
These long continued rains remind
us OF like or worse rains eight or ten
years ago in this county in the month
of September, when all the bridges
were washed away. 1t rained then
three weeks almost without stopping,

the stalk sprouted, came up, and had
leaves on 1T.
DR.. j. II. Th9rnwell, of Fort Mills,
will assist Rev. G. G.. Mayes in series

DR.. Thornwell of South Carolina Col
lege fame. He will probably not reach
our town until Monday, but the SER
vices will begin on Sunday morning,

1t looks now as if there would be one
hundred boarding pupils at the South
Carolina Co-EducationalI Institute this
fall. We could predict this almost
certainly if our people were not so
welded to cotton. But 1t is just this
way, reader, look at it: You send your
16 year old boy to Prof. Bailey to learn
say how to telegraph or rype-write or
stenography. At the end of one year
or less he returns him to you a prof.
cient, an adept in one or all of these
money getting professions or avoca-
tions, and you say to him: Sonny, l
have been feeding you right smart
while, now suppose you turn loose and
get $50 a month and support me and
your nanny while. He will do it
every time, that is to say, he will get
employment and the $50 month
whether he will give you and the old
lady any of it depends on whether you
and the old lady raised him Alright. If
she used her slipper prayerfully, per-
slstently, and punctually IN ;'the weak
and toddling years." and you used a
sh;ngle, strap, or apaddle, with vim,
verve, and vigor in "the bright and
budding years, when love first falls
into the fond, free heart" he will fetch
you the money regularly. and say
"Pap, take all you want and give me
the balance, if there is an Try it,
old man, if you don't believe its the
truth we are telling you.

SPANISH PROVERBS.
They Season Every Conversation
Their England Equivalents.

lam of the opinion, Sancho,
that there is no proverb but what
is true, because they are all SEN
.tences drawn from experience
itself, the mother of all the
sciences
1t is quite fitting that this short
glance at Spanish proverbs
should be prefaced by this wise
remark of Don Quixote, for no
country uses "saws" more freely
than. does Spain.
Dickens says that, proverbs with
wise men are these small changes
of wit, but with the Spaniard they
are often his whole capital. We
usually quote a proverb when it
seems to apply in the conversation,
the Spaniard suits the converse
tion to the proverb, and it seems
to be really a matter of pride to
see how many he can use in a
given time.
The Spanish gentlemen hands
you cigar and says: "You smoke,
of course. He who smokes makes
his own cloud and need not carr
how the sky is" Then in order to
get in another wise remark, ne
proceeds: "Let us 60 out into the
open air. Fresh air never, hurts
anyone. 1t is the draught that
kills. A draught is like bull;
you should never get in it's way"
Then, prehaps, he calls your
attention to an addressed, tut
cheerful-looking peasant in the
street, remarking in an off-hand
manner, as if he could say such
things at any time: "There's many
a good drinker hidden under =
ragged cloak" And so Though a
long conversation, which would
be maddening to an American,
but which the Spaniard thoroughly
enjoys.
It is interesting to note The
English equivalents for Spanish
proverbs. When we say "He is not
worth his SALT" they say "He is
not worth his ears full of water
essentially the proverb of a thisty
nation.
We say "You want the earth.
Their equivalent, is "That is to
expect the wolf to leave meat at
your door,"
zone mans meat is another's
another mans poison" is rend-
cred: What cured Sancho made
Martha sick" "Out of The frying
pan into the fire is with them

F. n. K. BAILEY.

Three hundred and fifty names Of
boarding pupils have already been re-
ceived for the South Carolina Co-Edu-
cational Institute at this place for the
opening term, Sept. 10th, that is to say
that number have said they wilh at

tend; there are always falllngs by the
wayside. But it will be safe to predict
that there will be one hundred board
ers in our town at the first session Of
our Institute, and this is mighty
good start.
If you wish your boy to learn how to
send and receive kilograms, to learn OF

for II years, to learn the business of
telegraphy so thoroughly that he can
go out in the world and earn living,
then make arrangements with Prof.
Bailey to enter him in the Institute,
which opens at Edgefield on Thursday,
Sept. 18th. Your boy can also take

NEAT BASKET FROM THE SOUTH.

Slated cover we'll fast 3ned on. 1t is
used by the southern shippers for string

tended, especially by northern grow

just seen some of this same style of
baskets, the bottoms of which are
square with the corners rounded off,
thus making the baskets nearly square
instead of round. The only advantage 7
can see for these is that they might be
packed together more closely in car or
boat, thus saving space. These baskets
vary considerably in size, height and
capacity, but are alike in general style.

Special Report on the Sugar Beet.

A special report recently issued by
the department of agriculture covers in
detail the present condition of the sugar
beet industry in this country and the re-
suits of experiments made by the de-
partment in the production of sugar
from beets during the past year. 1t is
divided into two sections, that of the
chemist and that of the field agent who
has personally inspected numerous sugar
beet plantations and factories and inter-
viewed practical growers and manufac-
turers
Part first deals with climatic condi-
tions and presents map of the sugar
beet zone, as we'll as studies of different
localities favorable to the growth of this
beet and data from the various states
where cultural experiments have been
made.
Part second, the report of the field
agent, contains practical directions for
preparing the soil, planting, thinning,
oultivating and harvesting. SLIDING,
irrigation, blight, the value Of the crop,
factory conditions and other important
questions are also discussed.
The report, as whole, is valuable
response to the widespread and popular
interest that exists in this country in
the sugar beet industry, and it supplies
information desired by large number
of people.
