A CALL TO Duty.

A short while since the
EDGEF1ELD ADVERTISER had
an editorial on 'sThe need of
Business League in Edge
field" To every thinking
citizen the benefit that could
result to the the town through
the organized effort of our
business men is so manifest
that no argument is needed to
convince them that we should
have such an organization.
While for years we have been
content to act, or rather fail
to act, on othe proverb "That
all things come to him who
waits" we must awake to
the fact that the progress of
our town depends on our ex
ertion in its behalf.
We, the undersigned, invite
all citizens of the town of
Edgefeld who are interested
in It's welfare to meet in the
court house on Friday, July
4th, at 7 O'Clock p. m. for
the purpose of organizing
business league, the object of
which shall be to promote the
material progress OF our
town. We are very desirous
that all branches of business
shall be represented, and hope
that together they will form a
league that will accomplish
much for the common good =:

Prof. E. c.. Coker, super

dance have a rare opportunity
in being able to sit at the feet
of this able educator for thirty
days. Prof. Coler not only
drills his pupils in grammar,
arithmetic and literature but
he demonstrates new meth

important branches. He has
an inexhaustable store OF

TREAT SOLICITOR THUR
MOND WITH FAIRNESS.

Mr.. Editor: AS the campaign
advances arguments, specious
plausible and otherwise, are made
against several candidates for the
various Offices, which, belong to the
people and ar to be filled by thsil
votes.
Recently I have heard that il
certain quarters some people op-
pose Solicitor Thurmond for con-
gress because he would not resign
as solicitor before entering the
race for congress. Now, Mr.. Editor,
every candidate should have fair
play. The custom has always
been that when An officer runs for
another office he does not resign
the one be holds unless elected to
tile last one he runs for. When
Judge Earle ran for the United
States senate he did not resign
until elected to the latter office (;
and 80 when Solicitor Bellinger
ran for attorney general, he did
not resign as solicitor nntil elect
ed attorney general; then the gov
ernor appointed his successor, Not
an instance, so far as | can learn,
can be named where man holding
a moneyed office in this state, re-
signed it when he ran for another.
Then why exact more Of the plow-
boy candidate than CT those who
never made a furrop' 2 No man in
Edgefeld or Saluda county will
tell you that he is displeased with
u single business transactioL that
Solicitor Thurmond ever had with
him. Everybody knows that ne
will work for a poor man whether
he has money or not, everybody
knows he is kind-hearted and just
and be worked and struggled and
economical to get where he is.
But, alb men with big names, men
who never rap a furrow, however,,
l don't mean to refer personally to
those named, cali cut the "Buck"
as they please, and certain people
Will pull off their hats aud say
anon; but when an honest plow
boy as we'll qualified as any in
the race, aspires to Congressional
honors, be must deprive himself
of legal rights, hs must deprive
himself of rights given him by the
rules and constitution of the De-
mocratic party. He has always
fought for the party and it's prin-
ciples aad its nominees.
Col. Talbert a candidate for
Governor has not resigned as Con-
gresham. Mr.. .Latimer,a candidate
for the senate has not resigned, and
number of officers who are can
didates have not resigned. If Sol.
icitor Thurmund is elected to Con
gress his successor will be appoin
ted by the Governor.
Solicitor Thu,moDd has stno

rights,on one and all occasions, al
If the peop pie treat him fairly, they
will give him a solid vote.
