A Former Editor and Proprietor
of the ADVERTISERS Passes
Away.

One by on, the old landmarks
of Edgeheld are passing away. The
last to abandon the temple not
made with hands and to be ushered
into eternity was Mr.. D. R. Ouri-
soc, who died from the effects OF
paralysis OH Monday morning,
having been stricken nearly q
week Before and from which attack
he never rallied. His locks were
whittier ed by the SHOWS of rlany
winters and bis form was bent un-
der the weight of 70 years, having
lived two years beyond the time
allotted to man.
While in the meridian of life NJ.
Durisoe was repeatedly honored
by being elected to positions OF
public trust. When Gen. B. E.
Nicholson died, Mr.. Durisoe was
appointed to fill the unexpired
term as Clerk of Court and for
several consecutive administra-
tions be was elected as mayor OF
Edgefeld. Some Of the pretty
avenues of trees that adorn our
streets were planted under his dl-
rection and are monuments to his
thoughtfulness and consideration
for the public veal. He has a.
ways been strenuous advocate of
those things that would beautlfy
and improve the highways of Edge
field.
For many years Mr.. Durisoe wae
editor and proprietor of the AD-
vERTIsER, having succeeded hla
father. He was all able writer and
having a thorough knowledge of
how the mechanical department
should be conducted h, achieved
more than o,din ary SUCCESS

For several years the legis-
lature has studiously avoided
adding to or taking one jot or
title from the dispensary law,
but we will wager dollars to
donghnuts that the next legis-
iature will heed the clamor of
the people who are demand
ing that they be allowed to
exercise the right to remove
as well as establish a dispen-
sary. The legislators are the
servants Of the people and
dare not turn a deaf ear to
their appeals. =

Probably the reason til

Probably the reason the
state board of dispensary di.
rectors did not grant the peti-
ton from Saluda to remove
the dispensary is because the
Christmas season is nearly on,
when a rushing business will
be. done and money made.
The citizens of Saluda should
have bided their time till busi-
ness was dull and then they
probably could have given
sufficient grounds" to the
board for its removal.

ACT, GENTLEMEN:

1ae opportunity 10 a. he'le
for the several fraternal orders
of our town to act in concert
and secure a large, well light
ed, we'll ventilated hall---one
that comports with the stand
ing and dignity of the orders
lin which they can hold their
regular and special con, ocs-
tons. While entirely in SYM
pathy and accord with every
secret order whose aim is to
uplift humanity, yet the writer
is not personally allied with
any of them. However, we
claim the right to speak for
the common good. Every
citizen of a community should
take an interest in and encour-
age whatever adds to the ma
terial prosperity and beauty
of a town. Who is not made
glad by the appearance OF the
imposing college building
Who is not happy over the
anticipation of seeing the new
depot which promises to be
ga thing of beauty? Who
is not rejoiced at seeing beau
tiful residences erected ?
Who is not delighted at see
ing the churches of our town
made more attractive ? All
of these additions are parts
and parcels of Edgefeld and
each adds it's share to her
growth and beauty. Byrea-
son of these improvements
strangers are more favorably
impressed when they come
among MS and go away speak
ing a good word for our town.
So it is in the matter of lodge
rooms. Everybody wants to
see them made beautiful and
attractive, comparing favora-
bly, with those of any town OF
equal size. In a limited sense
a l .dge room is public place
for its doors are always wide
open to every visiting brother
of good standing. No matter
whittier he cometh or whittier
goeth.
We understand that Mr.. D
A: Tompkins is willing, if a
lease to the several lodges can
be effected, to ADD a, thlrd
story to his building that is
now. in process of erection
and make of it an up-to-date
lodge room---one with its ap-
pointments conforming to the
needs and demands OF the or
ders that are to use it. This
is an opportunity that may not
come this way again in years
and we trust that the mem
bers of the fraternal orders
will not letit pass. Act gen
tlemen (great is the pity that
wescannot say, brethren. !, be-
fore it is too late. Brick by
brick. the time is lessened, for
the building is nearing COM
pletion. Act at once for the
good of the.orders and for the
good of Edgefeld.

Some interesting propositions on
the influence Of environment on stat

French contemporary. Prof Carries,
while pointing out that the Dutch ma
ton, in common with all the nations
of Europe, is steadily growing taller,
yet remarks that European stature is
lowest in Marshy and low lying coun-
tries-a fact contrary to the old-tash-
toned legend that Lincolnshire lasSes
were long-leGged because OF the eXer-
else derived from dragging their feet
out Of the clay Of Lincolnshire roads
and fens. NJ, BertiIlon in his studies
Of conscripts has found that the
Wealthier classes are the taller, and
that liberal profession is more likely
to develop height than an arduOus
trade. Prof ZaDrouski finds that "a
line of railway tends to increase stat
IRE in the country or district through
which it runs, and adds that in places
where decCctiOns Of cereals are drunk
