Frank Kellogg spent busy day
tracing the changes in the develop
ments of the Standard Oil Company,
from the time of its incorporation in
1882, when the trust was formed,
until dissolved in 1899, and the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey was formed. Kellogg developed
many questions from the trust agree
ment in 1882, which was contained
in a bill of complaint filed in st.
Louis last December when the. pres
ent action was commenced. The
trust agreement which was entered
into by John D. Rockefeller and for
ty-five other oil interests, provided
that the Standard Oil Company
should be formed; in Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. and
in other States whenever the trus-
tees deemed it advisable. All prop
critics and assets of the embraced
corporations and companies were to
be turned over to the several Stand

Lanham Spring Picnic.

Lanham Spring Picnic.
The brilliant record of the
.Edgefeld Hussars remains UNI
broken. In war times this histor-
ic old company, composed of the
flower of Edge6eld manhood,
made record for it's distinguish
ed service, and i'll times of peace
it's great social achievements have
added to it's prestige. The Thrift
eth annual picnic was held on
Thursday, August the 1st, and
the very excellent manner in
which Capt. N. G. Evans and his
men engineered everything per-
tanning to this great function is
being commended in the highest
terms. The department. of the
large crowd was perfect, and the
Toast that was spreal at-the noon
hour was princely, fit for king.
The band that had been engaged
from Augusta to furnish music
for the occasion was late in ar
irving but this was no fault of
the members of the company.
However, by taking up the dance
at double or quick time and con-
tinuing later in the afternoon, the
lovers of the Terpsichorean art
were fully satisfied with the days
pleasure. From every standpoint
The Hussar picnic has been pro-
nouLced great success.

Man Proposes, God Disposes.

No truer words we're ever spo-
ken than those of Thomas A
Kempis: "Man proposes, but God
disposes." Some time ago REV.
Johl o. Cough accepted an invi-
tation from Rev. Mr.. Littlejohn
to assist him in the annual pro-
tracted meeting that begins at
Rehoboth church on Sunday
next, and but little. more than q
week ago this faithful servant of
God accepted an invitation from
Rev. P. P. Blalock to help him
in the meeting at Berea this
week. But on the day that Mr..
Cough would have gone to Berea,
and one week before be would
have gone to Rehoboth, hia
mortal body was inferred in the
cemetery at Johnston. In laying
his plans to assist in these two
revival meetings, little did this
faithful steward realize that be
would be called home before those
plans were executed or carried out.

To The Churches Composing The
EdeefieId Raptist Association. Z.

To The Churches Composing The
Edgefield Baptist Association.
Dear Brethren: Inasmuch as
we celebrate the Centennial of
the old Edgefeld Association at
the approaching session., on
account of it's central location, it
has been represented to the Ex-
ecutlve Board that it would proba-
bly be best to hold this session of
the association at the county seat.
Aa this arrangement is agreeable
to the pastor and members of
Mountain Greek church, where the
ASSOCIATION was to have been held,
and as the church at Edge6eld
has in conference invited the as
sociation to meet with 1t, your
Executive Board have deemed it
advisable to make the change, and
therefore the ensuing session will
be held at Edgefeld. 1t is very
important in view of the fact that
we are to celebrate the Centenni-.
al of our existence, that unusual
preparation should be made by
the churches to crown our efforts
with success. 1t is therefore inn
portant, that all of the commit
tees should be prepared with full
reports, and we trust that each
church and each committee will
make careful preparation, in order
that all the exercises may move
harmoniously to successful end.
AS there will be some extra ser.
vices in connection with the meet
ing, the minutes of the session
will be more voluminous than
they usually are, and I therefore
earnestly request, that all of the
churches shall send up for min
utes liberal contribution. We
expect distinguished visitors from
abroad, and of course we must pay
their expenses, and it is the ear
nest request of the Executive
Board that the churches should
send up an extra fund with which
to defray the expenses of these
visitors, and we sincerely hope
that no church will overlook this
portant matter.'A review of the
history of the old Edge6eld AS
ISOLATION for the past hundred
years, will certainly be full of in
terest, and ehould inspire US SO
to lay our plans for the future, as
to make the work of our fore
fathers result in mora general and
more systematic plans for the
great work that rests upon US.
The recollection of what our fore
fathers have done, the grand op-
portunities of the present and the
inspiring thought of what under
Gods providence can be done,
should lead us all to mtre united
and more devoted efforts in the
great cause in which we are en-
listed. Then let us expect great
things from God, and let US un-
dertake great things for God.
Fraternally,
O. Sheppard,
Moderator.

That Elkins Corn.

The reports that are current
about the Elkins corn at Ridge
Spring have interested and en-
thused many persons to the point
that they are going down to see
it with their own eyes, and esti-
mate it with their own judgment.
That three acres will produce 500
bushels OF corn-more than 165
bushels to the acre-seems in-
credible to many. And yet ac-
cording to seemingly well au-
thenticata a reports, that is the es-
innate placed upon it by corn
'sexperts." Let's all 60 down to see
it and beg a stalk to bring home
as souvenir. Commissioner Wat
son will have to tell those farmers
in the northwest about the Elkins
corn.

High School For Red Hill.

While in The Advertiser office
on Monday Rev. j. T. Little
John informed US that an effort
will be made to establish High
School at Red Hill under the re-
cent act of the legislature. AS soon
as the matter assumes q more
definite shape, petitions will be
circulated asking the county
board of education 10 order an
election. The citizens of that sec
ton of the county should 10 a
man support this movement. Such
a school established at Red Hill
would prove to be not only a
blessing to the present generation
but to many generations that will
follow.

Death Of a Gallant Veteran.

After a sojourn of seyenty-one
years on earth Mr.. A. F. Broad
water passed away at his home on
Wednesday night, July 31st, and
the interment was made at Har-
mony cemetery on Thursday. DR..
C. E. Burts conducted the funeral
services. For many years Mr..
Broadwater was a member of
Harmony church.
Prior to four years ago when be
was stricken with paralysis, there
was no more active man in the
county than Mr.. Broadwater. He
managed his large farming inter-
ests with signal success. Agri-
culture had been a life study with
him and his efforts were ahun-
dainty rewarded. Since the Attic
ton was visiled upon him, Mr..
Broadwater has come to our town
only occasionally, being unable
to leave his buggy when he would
drive in. His familiar face and
hearty hand clasp have been
greatly missed by his Edgefeld
friends.
Mr.. Rroadwater's demise causes
break in the ranks of the
Confederate veterans. He was g
gallant soldier during the four
years of the Civil War, having
been q member of company B.
Buffers brigade.
The deceased was a member Of
the Masonic fraternity and his
body was laid to rest by his breth-
rem of that order. Mr.. Broadwster
is survived by three brothers and
four sons.

Expense of Present Crop Less
Than Last Year.

While all agricultural imple-
ments are high and everything
that enters into the making of q
crop has advanced, it is generally
conceded that the present crop
mas been cultivated at a much
smaller ontlay or expense than
was the crop of last year. This IS
due to the thorough preparation
of the soil before planting and to
the favorable conditions that have
prevailed during the pasttbree
mouths. Mr.. John M. Mays told
US few days ago that he has teis
year cultivated with twelve plows
the same land that required SIX
teen plows last year. This repre-
sents q twenty-five per cent de-
crease in hand and orse power.
And the most CRAFTY g part of it
is, along with the creased ex-
pense will be g. increase
in yield over that of year.
