DEAR ADVERTISER: We have
been frozen up for some time, but
have thawed a little, and israin-
ing just now. We fear the small
grain is badly damaged
With the present prices we are
hopeful for the future. Now lei
us raise hog and hominy, and all
the cotton we can. I Iexpect to do
80 and raise colt and Jersey
COW for sale every year, even if
cotton goes to one dollar a pound.
Pete an 4 1 have talked the matter
over and"thema our sentiments." !"
The Ladies Aid Society gave a
dinner on January 21st for the
benefit of the church. After din
ner we had q fish pond which was
a success, Mr.. George Johnston
(little George) collected for the
fishing. Mrs. Mary Holmes, Mrs.
J. T. Littlejohn and Miss Mary
Holson arranged the fish ponds.
They realized fifteen dollars.
Mr.. ]. M. Bell, Sr., continues
very i'll. He is with his daugh-
ters, Mrs. Sallie Strom.
Mr.. w. t. Brown moved il the
old Red Hill house on the 1st of
January. We welcome these good
people to our community.
Rev. j. T. sLittlejobn is busy
setting out fruit trees, catching
rabbits, building chicken coops,
etc.
One of our neighbors is suffer
ing from a founder, it was caused
from drinking too much water,

the Columbia Record:
''No man has done more than

sary success, and The Record

were NJ longer to be had, but he
leaves the Institution in good
hands and the weight of his in

half of the dispensary. Mr.. Will
liams deserves the highest consi :
deration of his fellow citizens for
his services, and we believe that
be will receive ii. at the hands of
the voters Of the second congress
sional district, IN which he will
aspire to seat in congress. In
that larger field of usefulness he
will carry the same business capa-
city and the same energy, and he
will be in a position to do more
for the state than ever"

IMMIGRANTS, THE COUN
= = TVS GREATEST NEED.

Congress has just appropriated
100000. to supplement the rural
free delivery appropriation. Mil
lions of dollars have been paid out
in every section of the country for
this purpose, and the immediate
vicinity of Edgefeld and the
western portion of the county
have not received dollar of it.
Along with the advantages Of
having rural mails delivered free
is tbas-of having more money put
in.. circulation through the well
paid carriers. The reason the
western portion of Edgefeld coun-
ty does not share in this. is because
of its sparsely settled condition.
Go north, west, or southwest of
Edge6eld for a distance of ff1eeL
or twenty miles and, on an. aver
age, a white resident cannot be
found for every mile travelled. 1t
would cost as much to deliver the
mails to these few ss it would 10
deliver, it to ten times the number,
consequently routes are being ee-
tablished in the denrely populated
sections first. Besides beneftting
the country schools and reclaim
ing the practically abandoned
lands, thrifty and energetic immi-
grants locating in the sparsely
settled regions would enable these
sections, which stand mnstip need
OF. them;to haye rural free delivery
routes. Oh, for thousands, yea,
tens of thousands, of white settlers
tor our. county.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young !;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be D.
cured at once, but if you will
begin i'll time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
