There is Do.denying the fact
that Edgefsld is steadily growing.
1t has reached our ears that Mr..
T. G.. Talbert-Senator Talbert-
may decide to becoms a citizen Of
our town. This is the former home
of bis good wise-his "better
half'-and why should he not
make it his home also. We sincere
| ly trust that he will. Edgefeld
needs scores of representative
citizens such as Mr.. Talbert.
1t will be of interest to many
| to know that there were
during the last session So white
schools and 68 colored schools in
the county with a total enrolment
of 61OO pupils. There were 70
white teachers and SO colored
teachers. Of course, the colored
schools are not open as long as
Those Of the white people butthe
fact that they had 6S schools 10
more than the white people-in-
dicates how greatly Interested
they are in having their children
taught "book learning"
A run has been made on lh-
glnncri"s of Mr. D. B. Hnllings-
worth and The Edgrfeld OIL mill.
Tie farmers must be making
full crop of cotton this year or il.
is opening al blin5 sill'l NJ
once. frequently wagons arrive
at the crack of day at the above
named ginneries expecting to he
the first on the ground and get
their cotton ginned without delay,
but to their dismay number of
bales are already ahead Of them,
causing q wait till nearly the
MONDAY 5our. The Edgefeld oil
mill has already ginned about 500
bales, ginning some days as high
as 60 bales.
Dr.. ] S. Byrd, better known to
his Edgefeld friends as Jimmie
Byrd, who has been acting as
assistant to Dr.. R.. l.. Branyon,
one Of the leading dentists Of
Charleston, for several months,
returned to Edgefeld on Monday
to apend some time witn the home
folks before he resumes his dental
course early in October at the col
lege in Atlanta. Jimmie is being
warmly greeted by his hundreds
of friends. He is now a member of
the senior class and in one short
session he will be duly commits
stoned as a doctor Of dental sur
gerry.
Each succeeding session Of the
college brings new and per manent
citizens to our town. Among those
who are now planning to cast
their lot among US is Mr.. R. T..
Strom, of the Mountain Creek
section. Greenwood has no better
citizen within her borders than
Mr.. Strom, and we trust that he
will become citizen of our town
on January the frst-and forever
afterwards-as he is now planning
to do. Mr.. Strom has several sons
and daughters that he is deter
mined ogive the best educational
advantages, and appreciates the
superior exc llence of Edge6nld's
college is why he is coming bi.her.
Who said the school would not
benefit our town ?
My entire stock of Fall Goods
has been received and is now on
display. We invite the ladies to
call and see our beautiful assort-
ment of dress goods, also the new
and very stylish fabrics for ehir'
waists.
