A Day at McKendree.

II was the privilege of The writer
to mingle with the good people Of
McKendree on Sunday last, the
opening day of the annual pro-
tracted meeting. 1t afforded
US genuine pleasure 10 grasp
the hands of hundreds of friends,
many of whom we had not seen
before in mauy mouths. There
was a very large crowd in atten-
dance. Scores of candidates were
upon The ground. Mr. 7. Garrett
Talbert made very appropriate
address before the Sunday school
and Rev Marvin Auld, the pastor
who is greatly beloved by his flock,
preached two very earnest, force
full sermons. The hospitality of
the people Of this section is un.
bounded. The tables at the dinner
hour were we'll supplied with The
best of everything and the visi-
tors and strangers received very
cordial invitations to partake of
the bounteous feasts. We love
the people of McKendree and old
Stevens Creek, the churches that
we used to attend during our boy
hood days, and we always feel at
home among them.

Texas Boil WeeViI.

Mr.. Charles E. Chambliss. ento-
moiogist, has sent US from Clem-
sou college specimen of the holl
weevil which isthe greates;enemy
of cotton growers in Texas. We
invite the farmers of the county to
call al the ADVERTISER office when
they come to towE and see. what
the weevil really is, then should
any insect attack their cotton they
will know whether Or not it is the
destructive weevil. This pestifer-
GUS insect looks very much like n
miniature elephant, and when a
person observes one closely there
is but little danger of mistaking
another insect for a weevil. AL
though we reside many miles from
Texas there is danger of the weevil
being brought here in oats, cotton
seed meal or IN tie person Of an
individual coming from Texas.
and it is desirous that as many
persons as possible become in
formed as to what a boil weevil
really is 80 that 1t can be discover
ed at once should it be brought to
South Caroliua.

These Good Ladies.

What would become of the
ichurches were it not for the
faithful. jealous, firing
lChrlstian women? The ladies of
Horns Creek, the oldest church
Fin the Edgefeld association, have
|iecided thata new carpet should
Bbe placed upon the floor Of the

last dollar of the necessary money
has been raised. In order to ill.,
crease the carpet fund the ladies
will sell delightful ices, bonbons,
ice-cream and cake at the church
on Thursday afternoon, the 25th,
from 4 to Z o'clock. Not only will
the refreshments be delightful but
tbs social feature alone should
attract all of the young people
for miles around. Already We
have beard of numbers who are

Returns After Eighteen Years.

After an absence of eighteen
years Mr.. Edwin A. Glover has re-
turned to Edgefeld to visit his
brother, Mr.. A. A. Glover. He
has been very warmly greeted by
his old friends since arriving in
the town of nativity. Mr.. Glover
resides now in Nashville where he
is the very successful manager of
Droughon's business college,
which is recognized to be one of
the foremost institutions of the
kind in, the south. Mr.. Glover is
simply astounded at the wonder
ful growth of Edgefeld. He had
of course heard of the strides that
were being made by his home town
but the half had not been told
him. Of all the brick buildings
that now adorn the business por-
tion of the town, only.four-the
Hart store, the store occupied by
May & May. the Corner Store and
the court house-had been erected
up to the time he left Edgefeld.
All of the residences. on Colum bia
street between the homes Of Mrs.
Kate Minis and Hon. j. c. Shepj
pard on the north side, and all bes
tween MIR. j. D. Holstein's and
the house occupied by Mr.. II. F.
Thomas on the south side, havo
been erected since he left. The
only house at that time in the rea...
of the court house was the KearseY
place, now occupied by Mr.. J. 81
Smith. Not only has there beeE
very marked change in the town
in a material sense but Mr.. Glover
notices, too, very perceptibly,
the absence of many former dwell.
lers, we might say, the descen-
dants of the aborigines of Edge
field. Many of the friends of his
early youth have died or moved
away and others have come to fill
their places. Our little city is in
deed a New Edge6eld. We trust
that Mr. Glover's stay among Us
will be commensurate with the
number of years of his absence.

= r. 49,
IS Handsome young James Parks,
son of Hon. w. r.. Parks, ac-;
companied Misses Addie Cartilage
and Ellie Paul on their return to
Edgefelo on Friday last. He is
one of Clemson's several hundred
students and will graduate from.
that Institution at the close of the
next session, which begins about
the middle of September.
The tickets for the primary cleo
tion were printed by the Adver-
tiser Job office. The names of the
candidates were arranged on the
ticket in the order in which the
assessments were paid to the treas
urer of the executive committee,
no favoritism being ghown by
placing any particular name first.
The county and state tickets were
sent out yesterday from this Office
to every one of the twenty-five pre-
cincts in the county, being address
ed to the clerk or some one of the
managers. Should the tickets be-
not received inquiry should be
made at the post-office for them.
The mellow aroma of new fod-
der pernleates the atmosphere in
many sections, which reminds one
that autumn, thu general harvest
time, is approaching. Hicks, the
weather progno .ticator who is
remarkably accurate in his fore'
castles, declares that terrific storm
and gale, will make its appearance
the latter part of this month, and
the wise and prudent farmer sill
house all fodder and bay as
quickly as possible. One blade of
grass or fodder housed without
bavins had rain upon it is worth
almost two that have been wealth
er beaten.
: We have learned from an "eye
witness" Of the large vineyard
and orchard of Mr.. Charlie
Holmes who resides several miles
from Modoc. Mr.. Holmes has
made fruit and grape culture
study is why he is 80 signa!ly
successful. The thousands of vines
that grow upon the vast acres OF
his vineyard are weighted down
with large punches of grapes that
rival in perfection those grown in
the distant Orient. By exercising
good Judgment, together with care
full personal attention, Mr.. Holmes
has demonstrated that grape cul-
ture cal; be made profitable in
western South Carolina.
