Greenville News.
A gentleman who travels quite
frequently upon railway trains in
this state remarked to the writer
a few days ago that nowhere else
are the good effects of prohibition
mora noticeable than on trains.
He said that in passing through
prohibition counties all is quiet
and orderly on railway trains,
whereas on reaching a sec
ton in which whiskey is sold
drinking and rowdyism are seen.
Men drink in The smoker and on
the platforms, deporting them
selves in a manner that greatly
annoys other passengers. This an
noyance aud public nuisance can
be abated by enforcing the new
order prohibiting drinking On
trains.

Eighty-two Feet in Solid Granite.

Mr.. G w Lee. of Spartanburg, ship
ped his we'll drilling machine to Edge
field about a month ago and drilled a
six-inch we'll fifty-two feet in depth for
Mr.. w H Dorm. He then went to drill
one for Mr.. ] P QUITS. The latter had
repeatedly tried to provide an ample
water supply on his premises by digging
and blasting but without satisfactory
results. Mr.. Lee adjusted his machine
and began to drill in bedrock granite
from the very first stroke, and drilled
the entire depth of the well, eighty-two
feet, without passing through this stra-
tum of granite. He stated to the wri-
ter that he has been drilling wells in
N orth Carolina, Sonth Carolina and
Georgia for four years and that the
Edgetield granite is the hardest that
he has ever struck. Mr. QUITS now has
the best well of absolutely pure water in
the whole section of the country. Mr..
Lee guarantees to find an adequate
supply of water. With him it is mo
water, no pay" He has now gone up
to Hon. W A Strom's to bore into the
bowels of Boles' Mountain, and you
can wager your last dollar that he will
find water before stopping.

Very Able Speech.

Congress adjourned late Satur-
day night, but several days before
adjournment was reached Hon. j.
o. Patterson put in some good
work on the question of the drain
age of swamp lands IN this and
and other states. In his appeal for
Federal aid in reclaiming the
marsh lands, Congressman Pat
terson cited number of instances
in which the government had
spent enormous sums in irriga-
ting the arid plains of the west,
and urged that it is as incumbent
upon the national government to
aid in draining the water-covered
lands of the sooth as it is to sup
ply water for the prairie lands of
the west.
Mr.. patterson not only pressed
the matter from the standpoint
of rendering these waste lands
productive but also Oh the ground
that draining the marshes of this
and other states would promote
the health of the people who live
in adjacent sections. He called
attention to the great suffering
caused by the malaria that
abounds in the low lands Of the
state.
Mr.. Patterson is always alert,
standing ready to advocate what
ever will promote The interests of
his constituents and the country

At the conclusion of the morn
irg service at Gilgal church on
Sunday. DIR. C. e. Burts walked
to the front of the rostrum and
stated that he had been requested
to perform a very pleasant duty,
which was to unite two young
lives in the holy bonds of we'd
lock, and then requested the
young couple TO come forward.
Having had no intimation of
Cupid's plans, the large congrega-
tion was eager to see who respond
ed. Their curiosity was gratifed
when Mr.. Ralph Winn and Miss
Leila Cheatham arose il the beck
of the church and marched slowly,
but calmly and grac fully, down
the aisle The wedding march was
very beautifully played by Miss
Weinona Strom. After plighting
their trotbs, Mr.. and Mrs. Winn
returned to their seats. In s few
moments the congregation was
dismissed and scores of surprised
friends gathered about them and
showered congratulations upon
them.
The groom is the adopted son of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Winn, of Re-
hoboth, but has been a resident
of Edgefeld for six or eight years,
and has been faithful and popu-
lar employee of the Edgefald

tiful and talented daughter oe

held the position of etenographer
and typewriter in the Farmers
Bank. Both of thee young people
are widely beloved IN Edgefield

against the variety, quantity or
quality of Sundays dinner. If
there was one present who's { wants
were not fully supplied, 1T was
solely his fault, because great
dishes of nice things were left
after the crowd had left the table.
The5afternoon session was taken
up with short informal talks by
Mr.. R T. Strom, Mr.. j. L. Minis,
Rev. J. E. Johnston aad A. S..

called upon to give an account of

of the most ENJOYABLE and most
profitable unions ever held in the
1st division.

held at Stevens Creek church on
the 29th and 30th of August.

advance in corn was made by the
grain speculators after practically
all of the corn had passed from
the hands of the western farmers.
If this be true, those who
buy corn hereafter will be at the

it not be wise to increase the
acreage of this years corn crop,
so as to be independent of the
western spectators year hence?

Schedule Of Campaign Meetings
Arranged and Assessments
Fixed.

Pursuant to the call of Chair
man B. E. Nicholson, the follow
ing gentlemen attended the meet
ing of the county Dem mocratic ex-
ecutive committee which was held
on Monday: 4 M Smith, D T
Mathis, E D Kitching, Geo. w
Scott, N G. Evans, w w Adams,
Jro. c Shaw, S T Williams, G E
Quarlea, ] F Atkins, W D Hol'
land and r. c Winn.
Mr.. w. w. Adams, the treasurer,
reported that there was a balance
of $61.54 in the treasury brought
over from 1906.
A committee, consisting of N
G. Evans, 6 M Smith, B D Kitch-
ings, Jno. F Atkins and &c Winn,
was appointed to arrange the cam
paign meeting. The following
schedule for7the county campaign
meetings was adopted without .
dissenting vote:
Johnston. Thursday, July 23rd.
Berea, Saturday, I" 25th.
Red Hill, Saturday, August 1st.
Rehoboth, Tuesday, 4th
Parksville, Thursday, " 9Th.
Lanham Spring, Saturday" Sth.
Edge6eld, Saturday, '' 22nd.
The committee very properly
devoted considerable time to the
arrangement of this schedule, 80
there would be as little conflict as
possible bet~-een the campaign
and the annual protracted meet
ings of the churches of the coun-
ty.
The time for filing pledges aud
paying assessments will expire at
noon July 22nd, the day preced-
ing the first campaign meeting.
As there is now sufficient funds
in the treasury to defray the ex-
penses of the campaign, some
members of thu committee
thought it would be unnecessary
10 make the candidates pay any
assessment this year. However,
after discussing the matter it was
deemed best not to exhaust the
treasury. Furthermore, some un-
foreseen demand may arise and
without an assessment there
would be no funds to meet it. By
a unanimous vote it was agreed to
make the assessments just half
what they were two year go.
When the candidates file il
pledges with Chairman N !son
they must then plank down their
assessments, as follows:
State Senate $3.50; House of
Representatives, $1.25; Auditor,
$3.50; Superintendent Of Educa-
ton, $1.50; Supervisor, $3.50;
Treasurer, $3.50; Clerk of Court,
$3.50; Sheriff, $3.50; Master,
$125; County Commissioner, 80
cents; Supervisor of Registration.
SO cents; Magistrate, so cents
Coroner, so cents.
The defeated candida tes will
have half of their assesame nts le-
turned to them.
The managers for the primary
election will be appointed at the
next meeting of the committee
which will be held in the court
house on Wednesday, July 22nd.

Hold Cotton for the Minimum.
Nothing to Lose by Holding and
Much to be Gained.

Cotton has advanced $3.50 per
bale in ten days and if we will
hold to it, and not be Influenced
to sell, it will IN the next ten days
make the same advance and the
minimum will he reached. Re-
member the 1907 crop is 100000
bales ahort. This makes cotton
scarce, not enough for consump-
ton. Crop conditions the lowest
in 20 years.
On the Oath, Texas and Okla
bona were visited by the most
destructive flood that has ever
been known.
On May 10th, our National
President, G.. S. Barret, issued a
circular letter asking the Union
men to plow up 10 per cent ofthe
cotton planted and put itln food
crops. One million acres has been
reported plowed up. This looks as
if the boys mean business aDd
will stand behind their guns.
Do not listen to those who tell
you to sell, it is going lower, when
they know it will 60 upward by
July.
Do not forget that corn is $1.10
per bushel and plenty of time to
plant yet. Well filled corn-cribs
aud smoke-houses will always
make cotton bring the minimum
price.
Both the European and Ameri-
can mills are about out of cotton,
SO hold to your spots and get the
minimum price.
