T.NDIAN SUMNER.

The season designated, we
know not why, as Indian
summer, is upon us. The
change that all nature is now
undergoing presents a non-de-
script scene. This blending
of summer and autumn though
beautiful is not inspiring, for
it presages decay, death. The
earth has yielded its increase,
the harvest is almost past
which reminds one that win
ter, with its biting frosts and
chilling winds,is approaching:
The birds chirp in doletul
notes the knell of summer, be
ing in marked contrast with
the merry songs with which
they hailed the coming OF
early spring. They seem to
be brooding over the adleus
that they soon bid, for a sea-
son, to their present environ
ments when they wing their
flight to the land of perpetual
sunshine where they migrate
for the winter. At this sea.
son the sun seems to have
yelled his face and the rays o1
light come therefrom to us,
as it were, through a glass
darkly. But why should moi
this variety, even of seasons:
contribute to the spice of life

Occasionally the question,

is asked by some one who is

so numerous and so obvious
that,to recite them, one knows
not where to begin. We call

which proves concluslvely
that the league will 'onduce

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 90, 1902.

AS was generally predicted
the coal mine operators are
recouping the loss sustained
while the mines were idle by
increasing the price of coal
fifty cents per ton. The con-
sumers have no redress they
are forced to chip in to pay
the cost ::of the strike.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1902-10-29

The coal strike has been
settled but the unanswered
question is, F" Who killed
Cock Robin, Roosevelt or
Morgan?'' Some ascribe the
honors to the President,
others to Morgan, who, in
many senses, wields more
power than the nations chiet
executive.

co}akttee is in correspond
ence with engineers with ref
erence to the cost of the sur
vey. When this has been as
certained efforts will be made
at once to raise the necessary
funds. We believe that the
people of our town as well as
those along tn e proposed
route will respond with a
spontareity that will surprise
even the most sanguine pro-
moters of the enterprise.
More peas were planted in
this section this year-conse-
quently the yield has been
greater-than for several
years. A farmer who resides
only a few miles from Edge
field told the writer that he
gathered 133 bushels last
week. The great wonder is
that all farmers do not plant
them more extensively. Only
a small amount of labor is re-
quired to plant and cultivate
them, in fact no cultivation
is required when sown broad
cast. Unlike most crops, in
stead of impoverishing the
land they improve it. Peas
not only feed the impoverish-
ed land but furnish palatable
and very nutritious food for
everything on the farm from
landlord down.

John 6. Capers has shown
himself to be an unworthy
son of an honored and illus
trious father. Few are they
who believe tLat he is actu-
ated by principle in his atfili'
ations with the Republican
party of this state. On the
contrary, many are they who
believe that he forsook the
traditions of his fathers tor

One pretext the cotton
kings have for keeping the
price of cotton so low is that
a top crop is being made. The
tact that this report is given
credence is a great injustice
to the farmers. The vague
possibility of a late crop, not
ten per cent of which ever
opens, causes a cut in the
price of the crop that is actu'
afly made. ---,---.--~.ss.
