Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the. reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
ard flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation Of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full Of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
TO why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in

When city coptemplates bold
ing d national or International
exposition the announcement is
made several years in advance SO
as TO prevent any other town from
arranging for a "show" to occur at
the same time. Norfolk has an
nounced that it will hold the
Jamestown exposition iu 1907 to
celebrate the 300th anniversary of
ths founding of the first English

The Edgefsld mill did not, llk"
many other cotton mills shut down
entirely last summer on account
of the high price If cotton. Th"
weaving department closed down
in June last but resumed work
yesterday. Of course many of the
former weavers have gone 10 other
places to seek employment and
the mill is short of weavers now
but will have all they need i'll
few days. 1t is rather singular
coincidence that the looms should
be started how when cotton is as
high as during the summer. How
ever, the mill has cotton that was
bought before the rise. With the
weave room in full blast the pay
roll will be increased, which will
be of considerable benefit to our
town, Success to the Edgefeld
Manufacturing Company!

The long cherished dream of the
: Daughters of the Confederacy-
the securing of aBeauvoir," the old
! Mississippi b homestead of Jefferson
i. Davis, IS home for indigen. Con-
federate veterans-has at last been
realized. The home was formally
.apened, with becoming ceremonies,
..sIast week, fully a score or more OF
veterans taking up their abode
: therein. 1t is a source of gratifca-
ton to every patriotic southern
6ssst to know that "Beauvoir''
ike 'tMt. V.rnon", will be K ept in
tact during the coming years.

A Georgia exchange very sppro-
priately and wisely says: Local
industries are the best paying of
ell investments. The money in
vested is kept at home, the divi-
dends are paid at home, the work
ing people are paid and spend
their money at home, consequently
home industries pay both coming
and going" What Edgefeld now
stands most in need o; is small
enterprises established by home
capital.

.sEhe department of agriculture,
asser receiving reports from every
section of the south, has estimated
TIE cotton crop at 9,s62,o39 bales
sos San average weight of 400 pounds.
While this estimate amounts to
NO more than a guess, yet it con-
firms to some extent the belief
that the crop is much less than
;;eyen many "bulls" have estimated
Tito be. With less than a yield OF 20
sWilllon bales it is. quite certain
, Aat next years crop will bring
; tan cents and upwards.

, Despite the very limited supply,
cotton seed have been lower SO far
this season than for several years
before. Many are wondering why
Ettfis should be the case. Tie cup
ply of cotton has been short and
tho price correspondingly high.
:. On the other hand, the supply of
seed is very limited and the price
is very Low. Can it be that by con-
cert of action on the part Of The
mills the price has been kept so
low? Already some of the large
mills in the south have shut down
for lack of seed to crush, yet the
; price is not advanced.

While the railroads lave loht
heavily ou account of frequent
accidents they have been some
what compensated by doing a
rushing business in both freight
and passenger traffic. 1t is said
that the number of Northern peo-
pie to spend the winter in the south
will be unprecedentedly great this
year. Our own little Gap road 10
doing it's share, fo- the volume of
freight brought to Edgefold is now
much greater than ever before.

Opposition to the frequent aud
promiscuous appointment of lay
men of. the legal profession as spe-
cial judges il waxing strong and
it IS quite certain that sufficient
pressure will be brought to bear
upon TIE next legislature to cause
a change in the present mode OF
relieving the congested calendars.
Increasing the number of circuits
and electing judges who are reg
ularlv commissioned to preside
therein is preferable to appoint
ing 80 many special judges, and
it will lot be more expensive thai
are the many extra terms OF court
that are now held.

One of Edgefeld's carpenters
remarked to the writer a few days
:"There is something doing in
Edgefeld now. The old town is 60
ing forward with hop, skip and a
jump. Two years ago 1 had to hunt
work and frequently could find
nothing to do, even at bargain
counter wages. { Now, the work
hunts me, and I can't begin to do
all that is offered me. 1t seems
that those who are rot building
new houses are having something
done to their ole ones and it makes
things in my line lively" The
blacksmiths, merchants, doctors,
dentists, ana every other profes-
sion and line of business have been
as greatly benefited by the wave
OF prosperity that has completely
enyeloped old Edge6eld. And
whence this growth, development
and newness Of life, if the college
is not the cause of it?

The towns of Saluda, York vile

lief for those towns that have tried
