A TIMELY CARD.
LET TROLLEY COME.
TALK 1T UP.

Editor The Advertiser: Always
being alive to the interests oi
Edge6eld city and county. I desire
to call attention to a matter that
is of much interest to both, and
especially to our town. Isee il
statedin the papers that there is
an effort being made to build a
trolley line from Atlanta to An
derson, S. c., and that it is prob.
able that ;he line will be extend
ed from there to Augusta by way
of Greenwood and Edgefeld.
That will be a fine opportunity
for Edgefeld to get direct and
quick communication with the
outside world. It's worth lnvesti-
eating; and it is to be hoped that
our people will take steps looking
toward aiding those who propose
to cone this way with the trolley
line. IkLow nothing of the facts
of the case, having only seen a
short announcement in the papers
that the line was headed this way
from Anderson. l. is an opportuni-
ty that the town should not lose.
fthere is anything in the report.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes i'm
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 SCOTS 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
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.

The people of our town should
5sssist, in every possible manner,
the faithful women in their efforts
to maintain and build up a pub
lie library. Through their in
domitable perseverance-withou,
any financial aid from outside
sources-the library has steadily
grown, new books being added
from time to time. The town Of
Marion has recently subscribed
$500 annually in perpetuity 90,
the msintenancs of a free public
library. The limited resources Of
our town and the demands upou
the public treasury do not warrant
such action by our town authori.
ties but the citizens individually
can give the ladies of the library
association their sympathy, co.
operation and-material aid.

Some entertain grave fears of
rapid spread eastward of the boil
weevil through the importation of
cotton seed meal and hulls from
:. Texas and Mississippi. The fer
tilizer factories of South Carolina
and Georgia import large quanti-
ties of meal, and it is believed that
much of it is infected with this
pest. The weevils made their ap-
pearance in Beech Island last
summer and it is suspected that
they were brought from Texas in
this way.

Some parents endeavor to keep
their boys from bad associates but
are unmindful of what books their
boys read. In a recent raid upon a
publishing house where obscene
books and papers were published,
there was record Of the names
and addresses of nine thousand
boys. Such literature has poison
ed the mind, polluted the body and
damned the soul of many a bright
boy. Urge the boys and girls to
read but see that they read such
books as edify, elevate.
