guests of Mr.. and Mrs. F., r
Wates on Sunday. Mr.. Wates j
head salesman for the large mer
camille business of DR.. w. E
Prescott. He. informed us tina
they have had very heavy. rains
on the west-side but not suct
washing rains as we have had IL
the vicinity of Edgefeld.
sOne cf the most expensive ele
ments of plant food is nitrogen
1t is the power to extract this
particular element from the at.
rnosphere aud store it in the
ground that makes the cow pea sc
valuable. By sowing peas Literally
you can not only fill your barns
with hay but fill your soil with
nitrogen free of cost. This beats
killing two birds with one stone
The writer asked Mr.. G.. A. Cobb
few days ago if be had decided
to rebuild his store which recently
burned. He stated that he had
no definite plans as yet but that
If he rebuilt be would erect two
stores, utilizing the alley, which
be owns, between the burned store
and that of Messrs. Jones & Son.
Should Mr.. Cobb rebuild be will
use cement blocks. which are
rapidly taking Nhe place of bricks
for bullling purposes.
While heavy rains remove
accumulations of filth about the
streets and other places, they also
increase the decay oe vegetable
matter, which is menace to the
health of the community. Lime
and whitewasb should be gener-
ously used about the premises.
Preventives are much cheaper
than the expense incident to an
epidemic of fever, not to speak Of
the anguish and suffering which
always accompanies sickness.
Acetylene gas may yet become
a formidable competitor of kero-
sener oil for lighting purposes. The
latest plant 10 be installed in
Edgefield is in The home of Dr..
JIG. Tompkins, which is now
very beautifully and brilliantly
lighted. We hear of several otrers
who contemplate using gas lights
Mr.. w. j. Hatcher, of Johnston,
at all early day will put in plants
for Mr.. j. It. Bettis aud Mr.. j..
M. Long, of Trenton. Several
towns in the state also use acety-
leue gas for street lights
