No Agreement yet Reached.

Several weeks ago largely eign-
ed petitions were sent from Edge.
field to the Southern Express
Company and the Western Union
Telegraph Company asking that
their office be moved from the
depot to a place nearer tie bust
ness centre Of the town. Since
that time several letters have
passed between the writer and the
officers of these companies con-
cerning the matter.
The telegraph company refuses
to move it's Office on the ground
that the volume of business at
this point will not warrant the
extra expense in maintaining an
uptown Office.
We have reason to believe that
the express company will agree to
the change, although no definite
statement to that effect has. been
made.
The division superintendent of
the company has written that be
will be in Edgefe!d this week to
take the matter up.
Should the express company
consent to make the change, it is
possible that sufficient pressure
can yet be brought to bear upon
the telegraph company to cause
it to do likewise.
The result of The conference
with the express officials will be
published next week.

Not Entitled to Damages

The negro who was shot IN
Washington by Congressman
Heflin, of Alabama, has brought
suit for $4,000 damages. TIE
sentiment and conditions at the
national capital are such that a
verdict may be awarded the de.
fendant, but If the case were tried
in Congressman Heflin's native
slate, or in Sou.h Carolina, jury
could hardly be found that would
give him a penny. The difficulty
was precipitated not because of an
Insult or injury to Mr.. Heflin by
the plaintiff, bu. because the lat
ter was deporting himself i'm
properly on a street car in the
presence of ladies.
Every true southerner honora
the man who, at the risk of his
own life, protects fair and inno-
cent womanhood from the insults
of brute, whether the skin of the
brute be black or white.

Determination OF Parents.

The sowing of "wild oats" may
not be entirely eliminated in
Edgefeld, but can be largely cur
tailed by the parents Of the boys
and girls who in few short
years will be the young men and
young ladies of the town. They
should not only teach children by
"presept upon precept and line
upon line" in the home, but
should be interested in improving
the general conditions without the
home. Unless this is looked after,
the lessons that are instilled and
the Impressions that are made
around the hearths'one will be
counteracted by bad influences
and bad associates when the
children are away from home.
In his admirable sermon Sum
day morning, DR.. G. g. Burts
sou n ded the keynote to the situa-
ton when he stated that there
should be organization and CO.
operation on the part of the par
ents of the community. In re-
stricting their children and in
providing pleasure and recreation
for them, let the parentr act iii
concert. Unless there is co-opera-
ton, thos who endeavor TO
properly teach and train their
children will have a very diff
cult task, and, finally, will have
accomplished but little, compared
to the efforts that are put forth.
In a small community like
Edgefeld it ought 10 be an aasy
matter for parents, particularly
the mothers, to come together oc-
casionally and discuss among
themselves those things that
affect the welfare of their chill
dren so vitally. We emphasize the
mothers, because, after all, being
in more constant and more SYM
pathetic touch with the children
than the fathers, the burden falls
more heavily upon them. The
fathers should not, however
shirk their share of the response.
bility, but as their duties take
them from the home from early
morning till nightfall, they art
not confronted with as many exi
gencies i'll child training as the
mothers.

1t is reported that Commission
er Watson receives letters almost
daily from people residing in the
Northwest who are seeking in
formation concerning agricultur.

the view of settling in South Care

We do not know to what e1-
tent these inquirers are interested
but hope that they are intensely
in earnest, and that conditions in
South Carolina can be SO attract
lively set before them that they
will forthwith fold their tents
and begin their Journey south
ward. Along with the need of an
increase in the supply of wage or
day labor, there is great need in
this state for small, thrifty far
mers. Probably in no other county
is the latter need greater than in
Edgefeld.
Go in any direction that yor
wish from the county seat, par
ticulariy north and west, and
you will find the country districts
very sparsely settled. Travelling
the Ninety Six road you pass only
about half a dozen homes, white
and colored, for a Gistarce of six
or eight miles, and in going west
from the town the settlers are
even fewer. While south and east
of Edgefield there is q larger ner
cent Of the land in cultivation,
yet hundreds of additional small
farms could ba opened up.
Think Of the vast increase in
the volume Of busiress transacted
in Edgeficld that would result
from the cultivation of these

Farmers are about a week be-
hind with their work, and the
temptation to plant without thor
ough preparation will be very
great. 1t will be far better to de-
lay planting few days or a week
shan to put seed in the ground
without proper preparation. The
lack of thorough preparation will
not only result in q disappointing
harvest but will make the culti-
syation more difficult and more ex-
pensive.
