The cotton crop has suffered
greatly from the excessive rain
fall. Not only is this true of this
county and state but throughout
a very large portion of the cotton
belt. Great difficulty has also been
experienced in cleaning the crop
on account of scarcity of labor.
We have seen it stated that in
some sections hundreds of acree
had been plowed up and sowed in
peas.
At some time during the present
week the citizens of the town of
Johnston and ,he citizens of the
Red Hill section will meet 10 or
ganize Su5-Leagues. On Saturday |
next a goodly number of citizens
will assemble at Meeting Street
for Che purpose of organizing a
League. Let the good work con-
tinue>nntil the entire county is
thoroughly organized.
There is worthless class of
negro women around town who
loaf and lounge around all day
and car.use all night, making
their homes nulsances to all per-
sons living near them. The major
portion of these colored ladies of
elegant leisure refuse tc cook,
wash or work in the field. The
council is making them ''get busy"
on the streets. Two are now serving
sentences oss 30 days each, which
is probably The first time that
women have been made to work
upon the streets of Edgefeld.
Large assortment of beautiful
Glassware and China of all kinds
at very reasonable prices. I invite
the ladies to call.

The electrical storm of Saturday
night, with its keen flashes Of
lightning and deafening claps of
thunder, temporarily unnerved
quite a great many persons, but
the actual damage, thus far re-
ported, was the killing of hound
dog, the property Of Mr.. Joe Eve
Minis. The deceased canine did
not belong to the cheap, "yaller"
type, from which sausage is made,
but was an aristocratic hound
with "blue blood" coursing it's
veins. At least, judging from the
price (s25) which it commanded
an open market, it bad or should
have had a lengthy pedigree.
For-tbe next 80 days we will
offer at reduced price nice line
of Rugs and Mating.
