more hospitable people than the

1t looks bad enough for white
man to order liquor in the name
of negro so as to hide own
tracks, but it is infn .tely worse
for a white man 10 drink from the
same bottle with negroes. A few
days ago, the writer saw a seem
ingly very happy trio, two negroes
and one white man, drinking from
the same bottle. OF the three, we
had greater respect for the negroes.
Have the days of miracles pass
ed away? Well, not altogether. A
few days ago the editor of the
Edge6eld Advertiser was "almost
struck speechless" when a sub
scriber skipped into the Office and
planked down the money for eight
years back subscription.-Chester

Several other subscribers have
voluntarily promised us that they
would do likewise. We are patient

Our entire community has been
made very sad over the affliction
that has overtaken that good and
universally beloved woman, Mrs.
Feline Stevens, of Meeting Street.
On Friday last she was stricken
with paralysis while at dinner
and has been in a scmi-conscious
condition ever since. Little or 10
hope is entertained for her recoY-
cry. The deepest sympathy of a
:greatsbostsof relatives and friends
is with the loved ones who watch
80 tenderly and deyotedly by the
bedside of Mrs. Stevens.
Summeris the season in which
flies, gnats anl mosquitoes are a
common enemy of humanity. At
times these ubiquitous little
creatures almost make life a bur-
den. About the most effective way
to hold these nuisances in check
about the house is to put in wire
doors and windows. The Edgefeld
Mercantile Company has a full
stock of all sizes of wire windows
and doors and can supply your
needs at a very small cost. There
is no doubt about the fact that
gauze doors and windows are one
of the greatest luxuries of the
heated term.
Two years ago the citizens of
Edgefeld county gave tangib 9
expression of their confdepcesin
apd high regard for Hon. B. e.
Nicholson bv electing him a mem.
Der of the House of Representa-
lives In tne mrs. primary. Not al
any time, from the day that be
first took his seat in the House 10
the present moment, has he said
or doue aught that was inimical
to the best interests of the people
of our-county. On the contrary, he
has sought every opportunity 10
promote those things that COLI.
tributed to the common good. In
the House be has been positive
force, one Of the leading and most
Influential members. Therefore,
we cannot believe otherwise than
that Mr.. Nicholson will be honor
ed as he was two years ago.
