made for himself e reputation i'll
Edgefeld as thoroughly com Pc
tent and reliable contractor, will
begin the work this week.
Those who did notat!end public
worship in Edge6eld last Sunday
could not plead lack Of opportuni-
ty, for services were held in the
Methodist. Presbyterian and Bap-
tist churches in the morning and.
| in the latter two in the evening.
! OF The FIVE good sermons preached,
everybody, not providentially pre-
vented, could have heard at least
one of them.
Every nook and corner of Edge.
field county will be represen Led in
the crowds that will visit Augusta
next week, Some will 60 to meet
their comrades in arms whom they
have not seen since the smoke of
battle cleared away and the
younger generations will goto see
the sights and have a gay time
generally, in which they will not
be . disappointed, for Augustans
know how to entertain their coun-
try cousins.
We had been incorrectly inform
ed and stated last week that Mr..
|1C. W. Spencer had the contract
for erecting the new store and Office
building for Mr.. D. A. Tompkins.
Doubtless had the contract been
let, Mr.. Spencer would have secur-
ed il, but Mr.. Tcmpkins always
purchases his own material, en-
ploys his own labor, and then has
3 man, whom he keeps regularly
employed, superintend the con-
stTuction.
Mr.. C. w. Spencer has the con-
tract.for making changes and re-
pairs on our Presbyterian church.
He has ordered q large heater,
which will be placed in the base
ment as soon as it arrives. The
work on the building will be com
menced about the first of January.
Mr.. Spencer would have made the
repairs on the Baptist church
before now, but has been waiting
for his experienced timer. He
will begin this week to make the
needed repairs on the interior of
the church.
Work on the college building has
progressed more rapidly than Mr..
Spencer or the public expected
that it would. While not more
than two full months of actual
work bcs been put upon the build
ing, by the close of this week, all
brick work vii have been complet-
ed, and the roof on the building
and porticos finished. The inside
work will be rushed, the plastsrers,
carpent,~s and painters all being
engaged at the same time. The
application of two coats of paint to
all the wood work of the building
is included in Mr.. Spencer's con.
tract. The colors 10 be used have
not been decided upon.
A novel experience and decidedly
pleasant jaunt was the one that
was had by Messrs. Patillo Blalock
and Lovik Minis, and Misses Matte
Minis and Stella Walker. They
departed in the wee, small hours of
Thursday morning last for Angus
ia to attend the circus. going
through the country in a carriage
drawn by pair of spirited horses.
They reached their destination
about 10:30 a. m., Thursday, and
returned Friday afternoon: The
trip aff.,rded these two young
couples barrels of fun and will
long be u bright spot in their
memories.
Mr.. r. ]. Dunovant, a young
bachelor and representative citizen
of Mile Creek, Saluda county, was
a welcomed visitor to our Office on
Friday last. MI. Dunosant, along
with the other law abiding citizens
of Saluda county, deplores the
frequency of homicides, in his
county which in his opinion, are
attributable in a large measure to
liquor drinking On being ques-
tioued as TO the prevailing senti-
ment Of the people in that portion
of the county in which he resides
upon the question of the removal
of the dispensary, he stated that
80 far as he was able to d. termine,
the great majority of the people
favored lis removal.
There was a time tine farmers
did not reckon upon the sale 8f
cotton seed as a source of par
of the years income, Now a far
mer in the spring argues tbas
|''I will make so many bales of
cotton this year for wa!ch 1 should
receive so many bushels of cotton
seed to SELL" We need more farm
ers who appreciate the value of
cotton seed as a fertilizer. Mr..
P. w. C. Posey, of the Trenton
section, with whom we held very
interesting conversation few days
