an impression that the solici-

OF VITAL CONCERN TO
FARMERS.

The farmers of every sec
tion of the state are deeply
concerned about the scarcity
and unreliability of labor and
it has been suggested>by Mr..
A. ]. Matheson, of Bennetts-
vile, S. c., who has been
agitating the matter, that a
convention, composed of del
egates from each county, be
held in Columbia on Novem-
Der the roth. Several weeks
ago we published a letter
from Hon. ]. c. Sheppard, in
connection with one that he
had received from Mr.. Mathe-
son, on the subject in which
the former requested those
citizens of our county who
are interested in this matter
to meet at Edgefeld on sales
day in November, being Mon
day next. This is a question
affecting every business inter
est in our county, the farmers
especially, and this meeting on
Monday next should be large
ly attended. BY acting in
concert there is possibility
of improving the existing
labor conditions. Further
more, it is possible to induce
a desirable class Of emigrants
to settle in South Carolina
which will greatly improve the
situation. By acting in an in
dividual capacity nothing can
be accomplished but by con-
cert of action much may be
accomplished. Attend the
meeting to be. held in the
court house on Monday next.
Your presence will show your
interest in the movement and
will contribute in a measure
to its success.

Great is the pity that the
poorly paid school teachers
throughout our county have
to DISCOUNT their pay war
rants. Many of the school
districts have a cash balance
on hand, and the trustees
should see to it that this mon
ey is paid to the teachers ear
ly in the session, so that a
larger percentage can be real
lied by. the teachers later, if
necessity forces them to sell
their warrants. Superintend-
ent Byrd hopes, by some hook
or crook to be able to borrow
money in order that the
schools may be put upon a
cash basis.

IN THE LONG AGO.

One hundredyears ago, in

an uncle Of Dr.. Robert A.
Marsh and a very prominent
minister of the gospel was
pastor of th> Fdgeield Bap-
fist church. eing a gentle
men of un,. .sual intellectual
he wrote a great
deal and of his writings there
has been preserved a booklet
of verses upon various the
mes. This little booklet, now
yellow and worn with age,
has fallen into our hands and
we shall from time to time
publish selections therefrom, [,
as they give an insight into
conditions, that obtained in
Edgefeld one hundred years
ago. The verses published
herewith were written by
Rev. Mr.. Marsh on the con
fession of Joseph Hampton
Beeler who was executed at
Edgefeld in 1903 for counter
feiting money: ~
MY christian friends attend -
While I declare my hope,
How the salvation of my God
Has borne my spirits up;
Hear, and with patience wait,
While declare my joy,
i. The peace of mind / now possess,
Which death cannot destroy.
For many years l try'd
OF vice Hdrink my fill,
And practic'd almost every sin
That fits, soul for hell.
can't tell all my crimes,
Nor make my follies known. q
They're num'rous assmy daily
thoughts -
. For Which'I can't atone.
At length my time draws near -
Ny race is almost run,
And 1 must suffer death by law
For, crimes that have done.
Base money I did pass,
AS silver counterfeit,
For which lay in Edgefield Jail,
Until the court did sit.
But now what shall say
1t is too late to cry,
I've lost nv precious gospel day
And here in he'll must lie.
Poor sinners won't you hear,
And won't you yet repent,
Then must your harden'd spirits
bear.
This place of discomfort.
