Are you going to need any

now or you'll pay more tor

Not: a few people are COM

and thereby create employ

If you can't rent a house in
.Edgefield borrow money
from the Building and Loan
Association and build you
one. The money can be had
on easy terms at reasonable
rate of interest and what you
would pay as rent will nearly
pay for your home. The
man who owns his home al
ways takes more interest in
the town and generally
makes a better citizen than
does the man who rents prop
erty. Own your home and
be your own landlord.
No real good and possibly
some harm will result from
the convention of colored
ministers and politicians that
was, held in Columbia last
week for the purpose of dis
cussing lynching. Much
was said in condemnation of
the lynchers while but little
was said in condemnation of
the crime that causes lynch
ings. Such gatherings which
afford a few negro leaders,
who were schooled at the
North, an opportunity to give
expression to their pent up
hatred for their best friends,
the Southern white people,
are calculated to widen the
breach between the races.

PUT CON VICTS TO-
WORKING ROADS.

WOhh lT " NDsdDO.
While good roads enthusi-
asm has somewhat abated in
Edgefeld it'has waxed warm
in many other counties in the
state this summer. Let US
hope that a sentiment will be
created thereby that will, at
the next session of the legis-
lature, crystalize into a law
abolishing the state farms and
placing the convicts upon the
public roads. How, when or
where do the people realize
any benefit from the present
system of utilizing the labor
of the 500 convicts that are
in the penitentiary? Annual
ly great boast is made of how
many bales of cotton and
hay, of how many bushels OF
corn and oats are made
upon these f.: ans, but inst cad

people scarcely receiving an
mount equal to the interest

arms.
Were these 500 convicts
livided among the counties,
Idgefeli's road working
orce would be increased
~ about twenty. Our peo-
lie would then receive some
.irect benefit from convict la
'or. If the hundreds of
niles of roads of the county,
re ever to be improved it
will have to be done in this
way, for the people, although
t may be ultimately of great
'eneft to them, cannot pay a
leavy road tax. Let the

Dads and gradually improve
