Bright and early oD Monday
morning next Mr.. John. B. Hill
will start on his annual thrashing
tour. Those who have grain to
thrash should communicate with
him.
Those who contend that the
white man and negro were created
equal and should be accorded
equal rights must admit that from
physical standpoint they are
antipodal. What would kill a
white man oftentimes contributes
to the physical well-being Of the
colored man. A few days ago a
hard-working colored man, who
is far above the average in intel
ligence and character, told US of
the delight that he took in his
work whun the sun was hot. Dur
ing some of the hottest days we
have had this year he would throw
aside his hat and plow and sing
as happily as did the birds in the
nearby trees. Think of man
working for hours with barred head
out in the broiling sun that was
almost hot enough to cook an
egg. Under such conditions a
white man would have fallen stone
dea6 before he had plowed half
dozen rounds.

last week and made a map Of II
boundary lines of the county.

county it was not very difficu
for him to make the map T.!
map gives two lines on the Alike
boundary: the one psescribed 4
the statutes which begins at
point northeast of Johnston ar
runs direct to the mouth of r,
creek and another from the poll
above Johnston to point on Il
Savannah river three quarters
a mile above Fox creek.
The latter line has been !
garded as to be the correct bound
ry between Aiken and Edgef4
counties but as a matter of f3
it is not the correct line. Aiks

square miles OF Edgdfeld's tef3

of that the area is only 631t. II
