Teaches the Morgan School

Probably there are many
schools in the county that have
had good teachers for years, but
we have in mind one in particu-
lar that has been we'll taught, and
that is the Morgan school. For a
long time pr ior to his death, Col
T.. G. Morgan, presided over
this school, and now the patrons
have been fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Robert a.
Cochran. While in Edgefeld on
Monday looking after some busi-
ness matters, this sterling citizen
of Rehoboth told the writer that
owing to the scarcity and un-
reliability of labor he decided TO
reduce his farm and yielded to
the solicitation of the patrons of
the Morgan school. The fathers
and mothers of that community
are to be congratulated upon their
good fortune in Securing Mr..
Cochran's servic es.

Supervisor Cutting Expenses.

In order to reduce the expense
of the road working force Of the
county to q minimum, Supervisor
D, P. Self has consolidated the
two gangs and will in future have
to pay only one foreman and ons
set of guards. He will operate
both road machines Ibut ouly one
subsoil plow, instead of two as
formerly. The large gang is now
composed of about twenty-five
oonvicts. Mr.. Self is of he opin-
ion that through the consolidation
he can effect q saving of from
1900 to $1,000 a year to the
county.

Creditable Showing

There is not a colored church
in the county that is more thor
oughly alive and progressive than
Macedonia, the Baptist church of
the colored people in Edgeield.
Several years ago they tore down
their old church and erected a
spacious and substantial building
in its stead. On last Sunday the
members of the church held spe-
cial exercises for the purpose of
taking collection, the funds to
be used in painting the interior
Of the church. The sum of forty
odd dollars was raised, which was
an exceedingly creditable show
ing. Rev Frank Weaver is pas
tor of the church. and some of the
most active workers among the
laity ara Andrew w. Simkins,

many other active members whose

a Gard From Mr. 3. E. Nicholson.

/ a Card From Bar. B. e. Nicholson.
I regret exeeedingly to have to
appear in newspaper article in
d personal way; button account OF
the fact that l have been informed
that some of my friends do not
understand vhy I did not vote for
the Nash prohibition bill, I de-
sire to call to their attention the
platform upon which l was elect
ed, which will show them why l
could not vote for state prohibit
tion bill which eliminated all cou
ty option features, at the last sss-
sion of the General Assembly.
The following ls correct state
ment of my platform with refer
ence to the liquor question, upon
which I was elected, and ia taken
from the Edgefeld Chronicle,
bearing date August End. 1906.
"Mr. Nicholson 10 in Favor of
Aholishing the State Dispen.
sary."
aThe last of the candidates for
the legislature announced by
chairman Bussey was the Hon. B.
E. Nicholson. Mr.. Nicholson's
platform in a nutshell, if written
by himself, would be: Il am in
favor of abolishing the state dis
pensary, and of leaving it to the
people of each county to decide
whether a county shall have pro-
hihtion or a county dispeneary.
Personally, I have always been in
favor of prohibition, and expect
to vote for, and stand for prohibi-
ton in this county; but I believe
that this question should be set
tied by the people of each county
for themselves, and that the will
of the majority should govern. I
am opposed to the repeal of the
Brice law"
/ am sure that my friends will
realize that I could not disregard
the platform upon which l was
elected, and which I had solemnly
pledged myself to support, if
elected. I feel quite sure that
there is no citizen in the county
of Edge6eld who has deeper in
terest in the promotion of tenn
perance than ] have. / have given
more time, thought and stu1y t.
this question than any other su b.
ject. However, deep my interest
in q cause may be, and however
strongly I may feel inclined to it,
Ihopa that my personal feelings
ahsll lever cause me to overlook
the.rights of others, or to disre.
gard the promise I made to the
people of my county.
This statement is not made bY
way of apology, or for the benefit
Of flany persons who have sought
to criticiee me, while knowing the
platform upon which I was elect
ed, but is made for the benefit of
such Of my friends as may not
have heard my speeches in the
campaign, or may not have seen
The newspaper accounts of my
platform.
Respectfully,
