highly esteemed on account Of his
Joyous and happy disposition and
the many fine trails of mind and
heart, which distinguished him in
life.
Mr.. McManus is survived by a
loving wife and seven children to
all whom he WAS ever affectionate

timely aud SWho olesome advice con.

aud dswh olesome advice con-
:tained therein. And judging from
the personnel of the body, being
composed Of The most thoughtful,
intelligent and conservative mem
8bers Of the race, these addresses s
sbave made Impressions that will
result in lasting good. Tie ne
groes: who attended the confer
ence have been made to look upon
their present condition. ard view
their future, from an entirely
different standpoint.
The Advertiser reproduces the
following paragraph from the
very excellent address of Rev.
Richard Carroll, who is q good
man and is doubtless the leading
member of the colored race in
this state:
"The Southern people are COM
planning about the shiftlessness
and worthlessness of our labor
and Justly SO. Any colored man
who is an observer eau see the
shlftlessness and worthlesaness of
a large number of the young
generation of colored men and
women, who are growing up in our
South. Many work only when
they are compelled by the pinch
of hunger. Many spend their time
loafing, hunting, camping and
living on each other. The negro
race is loaded down with sur
plus of idlers, men and women.
who live on the industrious class
es, boys and girls, young men and
women, who depend on their pa
rents to support them. When all
individual cannot carry his own
weight and that of his family and
then be able to reach out and help
the poor, hc is not very useful
citizen. We have too many con-
sumsrs and not enough producers
among US. Then. agpin, you can
not depend on much of the labor.
They do not stick when they get
a lob. In the language of DR..
Booker T. Washington. There ara
too many steppingstones for the
race and they are constantly
stepping from one stone to the
other Very few will stick. You
can only depend on few. He is
here to-day ard gone tomorrow.
The Southern people must, I'M
port labor from Europe or the
So.ltb will go backward. The
colored labor is not sufficient for
the demand. We must do. the
work of the South or give place to
others. There is DO desire on the
part of the Southern white -peo-
pie to get lid of the negro labor
and supplant him with others
They rather have their work done
by colored people, which is a.
REGULAR sentiment of the South.
All over the South wages are
going up. The people are willing
to pay better wages for better
services and the black man should
give the better services and get
the better wages. Somebody must
hire. We must either hire the
white people or they must hire
u.s."

JOHN LAKE IN EDGEF1ELD.
While on a Special Mission to
America, Rev. John Lake Spent
Two Days in Edgefield-His
First Love.

Sunday was q great day Tor

tinguished sons, and we'll beloved,
had returned to spend a day
among the friends of yore.

piness and prosperity in the
cause which he has SO zealously
espoused, that cause which stands
above all others, for OH the hear
ing of the gospel message de-
pends the salvation of The heather
world.
Mr.. Lake was sent to this coun-
try by the Robert Morrison Me-
mortal movement. composed Of
the missionaries of all denomina-
tions in China to present and
agitate the erection of memo
rial building in Canton in memo
ry of the founder of Professionalism
in China, Robert Morrison who
set sail from London just one
hundred years ago This being q
worldwide movement and inter
denominational in character, all

attended this address on Robert
Morrison and the proposed me-
mortal to the memory of this
hero of tie Cross, who made it
easier in China for the mission
aries who came after him.
Mr.. Lake has been instruments

country which will SO far towards
making this enterprise a success,
such men as Newell Dwight,
Hills, Henry Van Dyke, DR.. E.

and many others no less promi-
hent, in the various deDomina-
tions.
There are in the city of Canton
alone twice as many inhabitants
as in the state Of South Carolina,
and among them all there are
but rs missionaries of all de-
nominations. In our state there
are more than 900 Baptist church
es alone and we still feel the ur-
gent need of State Mission
Board. What must be the condi-
tions in the great city of Canton
with twice as many people, far
removed from influences of
Christianity, and with SO few TO
uphold the banner of the Cross?
All honor to our young hero Of
the Cross who has given his life

rhe Il County's Greatest Enterprise.

D p.
Among the representative citi-
sssens who were in Edge6sld on
business on Monday, was Mr.. l..
Z r. Dorm. of Parksville, who came
sto attend to business matters for
the Twin ssCitY Power Company
The writer was pleased to learn
through Mr.. Dorm that the men
Who are back of this large COM
pany will soon begin active oper a
dona il developing their splendid
8ater power on the Savannah. For
iaome time. they have had q corps
ofengineers at work, and it is
stheir purpose to begin the erec-
Stion of the large dam about the
frat of June.
The northern capitalists who
are promoting the enterprise will
mot establish manufacturing
plants along the river themselves
but Will supply electrical power
fo1 sundry mills and factories.
Not only will the Twin City Pow
Eer Company furnish power for en-
{ sterprisss IN the vicinity of their
plant, but it is their purpose to
transmit it to towns and cities
many miles away. Owing to re-
cent discoveries and inventions,
electricity can be transmitted
great distances at considerably
1ess cost now than several years
ago.
ldr. Dorm entertains the hope
and belief that this company will
sbe able to supply the cotton mills
at Edge6eld, Mccormick, Green.
wood and a number of Georgia
towns, with electrical power, also
supply electricity to these towns
for lighting purposes. In tie
event that an arrangement can be
perfected for transmitting cleo
strical power to the county seat,
Mr.. Dorm. is of the opinion that
an electric road will be built from
Parksville to Edge6eld. Hasten
the day Of it's comingI No greater
boon could come to the extreme
western portion of the county. the
s.intermediate sections, and the
county seat. Edge6eld will join
hands most heartily with Parks
ville in doing everything possible
Ito bring about this desired end.
There are unlimited resources
back of tie Twin City Power Com
pany, ard the enterprise gives
promise of being the largest Of
the kind in this section of the
country. Let's encourage, in every
possible way. these northern capi-
,talists to invest their money here.
The eqelopment of the magnif-
cent water power of the Savannah
river, and the establishment of
sundry enterprises aud the build
ing OF one or more electric roads
that will naturally follow such
development, mean great deal
for the county at large. The
amount of taxable property would
not only be increased by the plants
themselves, but all adjacent prop
srty would be greatly enhanced
fn value.
Success TO the Twin City Pow

PROSPECTORS
GOT LEFT
Party Bound for Brownsville Sees the
Sights in Cbickasha

A party Of prospectors, in charge
Of Dr.. Luther, head Of the Southwest
ern Development Co. Of Springfield,
H., who were travelling in a special
car bound for Brownsville, Texas,
saw more Of Chickaeha than they
had expected. Their car was carried
by the Frisco passenger due to ar
rive from the north at u o'clock and
it was the intention that it be taken
up here by the Rock Island passenger
No. %, due to leave about 1:25; but
the Frisco left the car standing on a
sidetrack in their yards and the Rock
Island people didn't receive notice Of
its being there till it was too late TO
connect with No. % without delaying
the train. Rock Island officials as
serted that the car should have been
set in their yards. The prospectors
twenty-five in number raised all sorts
Of Cain and threatened vengeance on
the Rock Island. It was probably for
tunate for them, however, as they had
an opportunity to see a much finer
country than they will see at Browns
vile. Their car was picked up by the
passenger train south last night.

KICK FROM
NORTH SIDE
Want The Weeds Cut and VIE 0dors
Squelehsd

Chickasha, I. T., Aug 8, 1907
Mr Editor;
1t has been a long time since / tried
to write for publication, but if you
will bear with me will say word about
our mayor and the city dads in order
that they may know the thoughts Of
some Of the people and tax payers
Of the North Side. Of course we know
Of the Honorable Mayors proclama-
ton in regard to cleaning up and cut
ting weeds and we surely appreciate
that effort; but we feel that it is very
weak and but few Of the people know
what it means, and especially what
We term the "well-to-do." They pay
10 attention to such an order and
chose Of rs that do clean up have this
vile stencil to breathe. Why do not
the mayor and council appoint some
responsible person to see that this
order is carried out. Be like the mea-
dow lark in the old school book-take
it to herself and do it-don't wait
the other fellows pleasure; make an
example.
We have alleys both public and pri-
vate that are a disgrace to any COM
munity. firmly believe tht if our
mayor lived around in this neighbor-
hood he would try to do something for
US; but it looks bad as it is, both for
the people and officers.
Again, look here; don't konw who
has ordered it, but see that all the
filth and horse manure that is clean
cd from the avenue is hauled nortn
on 3rd street and dumped in mud
hole, / suppose to fill it. Does he for
once think Of the odor that arises from
lit? OF course the city south Of Choc-
taw knows nothing Of this, but we Of
the north side have this stencil to in
hale both day and night and 1t IS
something horrible. Now, Mr.. May
or, please take a trip through this
part of town and in the alleys, and
please don't shut your eyes and nose
and see and smell and ask the people
what they have to put up with.
4 And again-We as a people wish to
have a sewer in this part Of the town
and as we pay our proportion Of tbs
taxes as well as those Of the south
and west hills where the drainage j.
natural, we wish to impress on youl
minds that we deserve some Of th'
protection from the city funds. Thil
is the feeling Of the entire north sidi
where are sunflowers, weeds, filth O
all kinds too numrous to mention
Don't forget to look at the wholesal,
houses in your rounds.
