As many men suppose.
Crbanity will always charm,
As every lady knows.
"Companionship our natures seek.
We all affection crave.
IT'S natural for us to love

"We turn a kindly eye on each
When first we chance to meet
Till some unguarded, selfish act
His arts to please defeat.
"A man refined, with nature kind,
Makes friends where'er he goes.
His gentle ways and gentle smile
A grace around him throws
who wishes truly to be loved
Should be what he would seem.
Good humor. honor, sympathy,

Some Pertinent Questions Asked

Mr.. EDITOR: According to law,
as we understand it, certain pro-
portion of the State dispensary
profits are to be applied and added
to the school fund in each county.
Now, if Edgefeld has ever received
a single nickel of the said dispen-
sary profits we are in blind dark
ness Of the fact. And we would
respectfully ask friend Nicholson,
County Superintendent of Educa-
tion, for the facts in the premises.
If our schools are receiving the
benefit of the said State dispensary
profits please ''say so,"-and if not,
please inform us why not. We
want to know, because we are in
terested in our schools, and espe-
cially because good many of US
are patronizing our county dispen-
sarY pretty freely, merely to help
our schools along. But if our con-
tributions to the dispensary are
hcing misappropriated, and not ap-
piled to school purposes as we
fondly believed they would be,
then we want to know it-and, as
Sheriff QUITS would say, in Ma
sonic vernacular, we then "wlll
govern ourselves accordingly"

Don't HKill the Goose That Laws
the Golden Egg"

Mr.. EDITOR: Some three weeks
or 80 ago, in short communica-
tion in your paper, I said the
neighboring towns to Edgefield
we're paying more for cotton than
were the cotton buyers of EDGE
field. And as it was then so it was
last week, and very likely will be
80 this week. To substantiate my
assertions. please allow me to state
a few solid facts:
1st. On Tuesday, the 10th, Mr..
Sam Nicholson went to Edgefeld
with nine bales of cotton-some of
it of very good grade and some of
it not SO good. He was offered 6.65
all round-declined to take it, and
drove on to Johnston, where he
realized 6.85 on the nine bales.
End. On the same day Mr.. Nc
Dowell carried cotton to Ninety.
Si1. He was paid "A for his cotton
and 21c for his cotton seed.
3rd. On the same day Col. Pope
Hagood went to Kirkseys and sold
his cotton for Il, and got 21c fol-
his cotton seed.
4th. On the same day Mr.. J. B.
Davis sent thirteen bales Of cotton,
some good and some sorry, from
his Saluda plantation to Green.
wood, and received II for the best
and the thirteen bales averaged q
little over 7c.
5th. The Abbeville Medium oil
the 18th, says: "Cotton sold in
Abbeville on Monday for 74c pei
pound, and cotton seed for 244c
per bushel Of 30 pounds"
9Th. And down in Bamberg, WE
learn from the best authority thai
TIC is readily obtained in tha'
town for good cotton.
So you see, Mr.. Editor, the cot
ton buyers at Edgefeld are no
paying as much for cotton as oul
farmers are getting elsewhere. The
farmer goes with his produce
where it is his interest to go. Anc
where the farmer sells his cottor
there he will spend bis money. i
is not good business tact Mr.. Edi
tor, to "kill the goose that lays tht
golden egg" COTTONTOT.
