Miss Sophie Nicholson left on
Saturday last to join her sister,
Mrs. Wayne Darlington, at Long
Beach, Cal. AS We write she 1s
probably climbing the Rockies,
aud will reach her far.off des-
tination this afternoon. The jour
.ney requires four days and four
nights of continuous travel, which
lis quite long time to spend on
the cars il, midsummer. However,
who does not envy Miss Sophie
this trip through some of the
grandest scenes in the world?
John Wannamaker, the highest
authority on advertising, says that
discontinuing an advertisement
is like taking down a sign. Not
only can a sign be multiplied
thousands of times by an adver-
tisement but inducements can be
offered that will draw trade from
other markets. Recently when Mr.:
J. Rubenslciu held a special sale,
which he thoroughly advertised,
be brought people TO Edge6eld
who lived twenty-five miles away.
They had .acver before been to
Edge6eld to supply their needs
but always spent their money in
Greenwood. @
The race for cotton weigher is
waxing warm. Saturday next viii
tell the tale On that day onesof
the candidates will be exalted and,
the others cast down. The vote
will no doubt b' much larger than3
last year, as the mass meeting
which is to be held on that day.
will cause many to como t. Edge
field who would not otherwise have.
come. rhe polls will open at s a..
~. and close at 4 p. N. The elec-
tion will be conducted upon tie
majority plan, hence the ole who.
receives the highest number Of

The village cemetery is in a;
deplorab]e condition. The grass.
weeds and bushes lave almost.
taken possession of it in some:
places. 1t is a great reproacht
upon our town that this last rest-s
ing place of our departed friends.
and loved ones is so shamefully.
neglected. Either !he council.
should take the matter in hand at.
once and have Improperly attend
ed TO or q committee Of the citi-.
zens at large should be appointed
to look after it. We trust that;
this reminder will suffice and
that further reference to # will;
not be necessary.
1t is reported that the people Of
Saluda are disgusted with the.
prevailing conditions in thai
county. AS a result, the anti-dis-.
peusary sentiment is steadily.
growing. tits alleged, that besides
the blind tigers, one or two distil-}
leries are plying their trade in the
country districts, which are terril>
bly, demotalizing to the people. In
addition to these nuisances they
have the dispensary from which.
doubtless soma of the Illicit deal.
ers replenish their stocks. Certain.
ly the removal of the dispensary
and supplanting it with prohibit
tiol5 you'd be a boon to 'Saluda
county.
Two men we're disputing over
their respective churches. Finally
one called a neighbor who was
passing and asked bis opinion as
to which was the only church in
which to be saved. "Well" said he,
"my son and | have hauled wheat
to the same mill nigh on to forty
years. Now, there are two roads
that lead from cur place TO the
mill-one's the valley road,
t'other takes.over the bill. And
never yet, friends. has the miller
asked me, which road took, but
be always. asks: SIS your wheat

One of The most telling factors
in. advertising and building up a
town is well-arpointed, WELL
kept hotel. While IN conversation
with the writer several days ago a
drummer said that a certain
small town in Georgia 1--WE we're
aboard Georgia train) had one
of the best hotels that he found
on his travels of thousands of
miles. He was at the time en-
route 10 this quiet little town to
spend Sunday, preferring. that
small hotel to the large city hos
telries. This gentleman said that
travelling men knew good thing
when they saw it and never failed
to talk up town with 3 good
hotel.
