Edgefield Agricultural Club Or
ganized Under Favorable
Auspices.

In response 20 the call of Gen.
NJ. C.. Butler twenty-five or thirty
farmers and business men met in
the court house on. Saturday for
the purpose of organizing an
agricultural club. Gen. Butler
was, on motion. of B. E. Mich
olson, elected temporary chairman
and Mr.. L. Wigfall Cheatham
secretary. Gen. Butler declined to
accept the presidency of the club,
and Mr.. James R. Csntelou was
elected president, Mr.. Cheatbsm
being permanent secretary.
DR.. w. e. Mealing, secre tary
aud treasurer of the associated
farmers clubs of the Savannah
valley, was present by invitation.
and was called upon to give an
outline of the work of the Schultz
Hill club and the other clubs that
compose the association. He spoke
Of the benefit derived from the
experiments that had been made
by the members and of the advan-
tages derived from the social
feature. At the regular monthly
meetings topics of vial interest
to the farmers are discussed from
a practical standpoint. DR.. Meal
ing also referred to the friendly
rivalry that existed among the
clubs, arising from the exhibits
at the Georgia Caroline Fair. He
urged the newly formed Edgefeld
club to compete for the grand
prize of 500 in cash to be award
ed to the club having the best ex-
hibit of agricultural products at
the Georgia-Carolina fair to be
held during the week beginning
November End. The Georgia-Caro-
lima Fair association will donate
800 toward defraying the expeu-
ses of the exhibit.
The club exhibits at the fair
last year were exceedingly credl-
table, especially that Of the Meri-
wether club which won first prize.
We see no reason why the far
M H ID vicinity could not
eo SgsaEer, combine their
e6oscest farm products, and make
an exhibit that would compare
favorably with those of the other
clubs.
Practically all who attended the
meeting enrolled their nan eB as
members of the club; and a COM
mittee of three will be appointed
by President Cantelou to solicit
members. A large, prosperous
agricultural club, conducted along
the lines of those of the Sa-
vannah Valley association, will
be of incalculable benefit to the
farmers of this vicinity. Give
your name to the secretary, Mr..
T.. w. Cheatham, and assist i'll
making the club a success.
BY a unanimousvote the thanks
of the club were extended to DR..
Mealing for his presence and very
helpful and encouraging remarks.
The next meeting of the club will
be held the End Saturday in Octo-
ber.
The editor Of The Advertiser
was very glad to meet Maj. J. II:
Alton at Mountain Creek last Fri
dayswhile attending the Edgefeld
association, eighteen years
having passed since last we saw
him. Maj. Alton has been one of
The Advertisers subscribers for
more than fifty years, and is now

J. .-s.a -
IF the white voters of South
Carolina cast over 10000 ballots.
In the primary, that number. or.
more, should be cast in the general
election in November.
1t is difficult for Georgia to tell
where she is at politically. The
Democrats, Republicans, frohibi-
tionists, Populists, and the In
dependence party are all at work
In our sister state.
Edgs6eld's daughter, Saluda,
polls more votes than the old
mother county. saluda's vote in
the last primary is placed at
.2,O52, WHICH is 300 more than
Edgefeld's vote in the first pri-
mary.
After all expenses of the cam
paign. were paid, oraugeburg's
Democratic executive committee
500 from the amount
left in the treasury to the. Bryan
aud Kern fund. We do not know
what balance Edgefeld's execu-
tive committee had left after pay
lag all expenses of the campaign,
but it would have been a very
graceful act could they have made
q contribution to the national
fund as did orangeburg.

Col. Henry T. Thompson,
Candidate For Adjutant
and Inspector General
From the News and Courier


From the News and Courier.
Col. Henry L Thompson is a
son of the late Hugh S. Thomp.
son, who was elected State Su.
perindent of Education on the
Hampton ticket, and later re-
signed that Office to accept po-
sition in the treasury department.
under President Cleveland. Hen
ry Il. Thompson was born in
Columbia July 6. 1859. He was
educaded at Union College,
Schenectady, New York. He
was assistant professor in the
South Carolina Military Acade-
my for one year and served as
private secretary under his faith
er while he was Governor. He
was admitted to the Bar in 1884
and practiced a: Darlington un-
til the outbreak of the war with
Spain, when he volunteered as
captain OF the Darlington Guards.
He was promoted to major of
the independent battalion and
afterwards lieutenant colonel of
the ID South Carolina regiment.
When this regiment was muster
ed out of service Col. Thompson
was appointed by President Nc
Kinley captain in the 29th in
tantry, but he did not retain this
position very long, and resigned
In order to enter business in his
native State. Since that time
he has held the position as agen-
cy director of the New York Lite
Insurance Company, with head
quarters in Columbia. During
his residence here Col. Thomp-
son has taken an active part in
the affairs of the city, being pro.
minent in the work of the Tim
rod Library Association, and
serving one term as chairman of
the police commission. He has
for several years served as colo
mel of the I'd regiment of South
Carolina National Guard, and
has kept this command in excel
lent condition. When Col. Thomp-
son was captain of theDarlington
Guards that company was consi-
dered the best military company
in the State, and during that
time Col. Thompson's military
ideals were put to a severe test
when the Darlington riot occur
red. He personally sympathiz-
ed with that element which was
opposed to the States admins
tration especially since some othis
personal friends had been shot
in the fight with the dispensary
constable, but Notwithstanding
that fact Capt. Thompson main
tanned discipline in his command
and obeyed orders from the Com
mander-in- Chief. His attitude in
this trouble did much in preven-
ting the riot becoming more ser
ious than it already was.
Col. Thompson is not only a
true military man, but gentle
man of highest character and
most excellent personality and
disposition. He has a strong FOL
lowing of personal friends
throughout the tate, as we'll as
a strong following among the
members of the National Guard.
