Gone to Savannah.

MIR, E. J. Putzel, who has been, in
charge of the business of the Electric
Supply Company at this point for some
months past, returned to Savannah yes
terday morning. He has been superin-
tendent of the construction work of the
city's electric light plant. Mr.. Putzel was
called home on account of the serious
illness of his mother, and he will not re-
turn. His friends here will regret to
know that he goes away under such sad
circumstances and trust that the outcome
of her illness will be favorable. He asks
US to state that if any parties in town
have bills against him or the Electric
Supply Co., to mail statements to him at
Savannah. He regretted very much to
90 away so hurriedly, but was called by
wire to come at once Mr.. Wilkes, who
spent some time here on construction
work, will probably return in a few days
to complete the plant.

Our Peace of Mind.

When this copy of the Medium is dis
tributed among its intelligent readers the
political contest will be over. 1t is a
great qualification to US to know and feel
that no injustice has been done to any as
pirant for Office by US. 1t is our rule to
say nothing injurious to any ones repu-
tation, for generally man has no chance
against newspaper when apolitical con-
test is going on.
During the course of our life we have
been more distressed by words we have
spoken in haste than by any act done
For that reason, years ago we put guaro
upon our tongue and refrained from talk
ing too much. If the spoken word which
gives so much pain vanishes upon the all
how much more cautious should we be IN
putting our thoughts in printers ink to
stand for years as record against US.
In times of political excitement the oo
seryance of our rule is more obligatory
than ever. When the excitement dies Out
It is supreme satisfaction to the editor tc
know that he has said and done nothing
with which to reproach himself no matter
how high excitement ran.-AboeVllle

Orphan Work Day.

Saturday, September Goth, is the day.
1t is thoughtful habit that is growing
upon our people-the setting apart the
last Saturday in September as day to
work for the orphans.
On this day, unless yourself is in need
Of help, devote your income TO the faith
erless. Give them the proceeds Of your
days work.
There are 25O orphans in the Thorn
well Orphanage at Clinton, s. c., and this
is only one of our homes for the father
less.
Remember what Job said, "If have
eaten my morsel, myself, alone, and the
fatherless hath not eaten thereof, then let
mine arm fall from my shoulder blade,
and mine arm be broken from the blade" )"
Whether. therefore, the reader Of these
lines be Jew or gentle, protestant or
Catholic, let him give the 29th of Septem-
Der to work for the orphans, sending his
contribution to the institution that he is
most interested in.

The Price Of Cotton.

The Southern Cotton Association has
fixed ten cents as the minimum price
for middling cotton. This price repre-
sents the point below which the farmers
cannot raise cotton with reasonable
profit. :.
There is no reason why the present
crop should bring less than ten cents per
pound. The average planter does not
Justify the production IN Of crop beyond
the actual necessities of the commercial
world, and if the farmers will market
their cotton conservatively, the demand
from the mills will bring the price to the
minimum set by the association.
As soon as the trade awakes from the
hypnotic influence of the cotton gambler,
who has been predicting bumper"
crop, the prices will assume higher lev
ell. Sell cotton only as an absolute neces-
sity. Every bale held will mean money
in the pockets Of the farmers.

ION THE WAR PATH"
Some Features Of the Pleasure Ground
Of the jamestown Exposition.

Chicago had her Midway" St. Louis
her "Pike," Portland her Trail" and the
Jamestown Exposition, which will be
held on the shores of Hampton Roads
near Norfolk, Va, in 1907, will have a
"War Path" The scenic amusements
have much to do with making an exposi-
ton attractive and after long weary
day of sightseeing among the exhibit
palaces it Is relief and a recreation to
turn to the great white way where the
lights glitter, the mountebanks and SOU
brettes rule their merry crews, where the
Joyous ballyhoo man bawls his incoher-
ent buncombe, where, in short, the multi
tude is at play. The great playground OF
the Jamestown Exposition has been nam
ed "The War Path" General Fitzhugh
Lee gave it that name and it is certain
that the entertainment to be furnished
by the concessions that line its dazzling
streets will be sufficiently exciting to make
the name appropriate.
The War Path occupies a beautiful
space fronting upon the military parade
ground and is 1888 feet long by 7S0 feet
in width. There are two parallel streets
separated by central block on both sides
of which are concessions, thus making a
total frontage of more than a mile includ'
ing the bazaars at either end. The streets
are eighty feet wide and paved with
brick. An arcade covered by glass
dome which at night will be afame with
lights divides the central block into two
equal parts and makes convenient pas
sage way between the streets.
A miniature elevated railroad runs
along three sides of the War Path afford
ing rapid and cheap transportation as
well as charming and comprehensive
view of the great city of mirth.
The main entrance is flanked by the
American and Oriental bazaars which op'
en- upon plaza 175 feet wide by 10Y feet
in length on all sides OF which Will oe
hanging gardens. There will be, OF
course, scenic railway, q shoot the
chutes and other familiar amusements
but for the most part the concessions viii
be new and many of them sensational
Among the good things thus far secured
are, "Paul Revere's Ride" "The Destruc
ton of San Francisco" "The Palace o1
History" "The Battle Between the Mon
itor and the Merrimac," "The Haunted
Castle" "The Pyramids of Egypt" "Th'
Swiss Village" ,""Tea Garden of Old ia
pan"
There will be, also number of UNIQUE
musical attractions to vary the spectacu-
lar program and some panoramic conces
sions almost stupendous. The War Patt
will be at it's best at night when the ligh
| effects will make it veritable dreamlanf
of brilliancy and beauty. "Meet me OF
the War Path" will be the slogan OF al
exposition visitors in 1907.
