From the Experience Of Edge

We are fortunate indeed to be
able to profit by the experience of
our neighbors. The public utter
ances of Edgefeld residents on the
following subject will interest and
benefit thousands of our readers.
Read this statement. No better
proof can be had.

three or four months l Suffered con-

Progressive Young Farmer.

One of the most progressive
young farmers in the county, Mr.
w. J. Harling, was in town Fri
day. He fertilizes his crop with
brains as we'll as with other things;
that is to say, he exercises intelli-
gence in conducting his farming
operations, Just as a physician or
lawyer does in conducting a diff
cult case. One indication of Mr..
Harling's progressiveness is the
careful selection of his seed for
planting. The day before he came
to Edgefeld he went through a
field of corn detasseling the barren
and defective stalks in order that
the seed corn may not suffer from
the pollen from these worthless
stalks. Another evidence Of Jacks
progressiveness is the attention that
he gives to stock raising. Several
years ago he bought forty-odd rolls
of barbed wire and fenced three
pastures. Some of the neighbors
told him he was crazy but his only
reply was, wait and see." Friday
he brought a fine hog and sleek,
grass-fattened COW to market and
converted them into cash.
Would that some more of Edge
fields farmers were as crazy" as
Jack Harling! He says half of his
living comes from his three pas
lures.
Just word to 80 per cent OF
the farmers: Quit planting the
world in cotton, buy barbed wire
as Mr.. Harling did, and plant
more cows, hogs, sheep. horses and
mules.

Miss Iona TiIlman.

Miss Iona Tillman.
In an article entitled oung Wo-
men of the Democracy st Washing
ton" in which the social career of
the daughters of several Senators
was written up at some length, the
National Monthly had the following
to say of Miss Iona Tillman, Sena-
tor Tillman's eldest daughter:
"Miss Tillman is by far one of the
most popular girls in the Congress
ional set at Washington. She may
count her friends in as great num-
bers through the Republican ranks
as she ever did within her own
party" and the greatest evidence of
this may be found that she is now
president of the Anchonides, the
club heretofore referred to, which is
composed of the daughters Of Sena-
tors and Representatives from every
State in the Union.
If one ever should ask Miss Till
man if she had fad they would be
surprised by receiving an affirmative
reply and still more surprised to be
told that her fad is nothing less
than her distinguished father. Miss
Tillman thinks her father is the
greatest man alive and she is never
happier than when she is up in the
Senate galleries following the affairs
which are closest to his interests and
in which his life is centered. She
is the eldest of three daughters, each
of whom is as deeply interested in
what their father believes as Miss
Iona.
"Miss Tillman was born in Tren-
ton, S. c., which is still the family
home. She was educated at Win
throp College and is fine musician.
During the residence of the family
in Washington Miss Tillman con-
tinues her piano studies and has
played many times at concerts al
though she has never appeared pro-
fessionally and doesinot contemplate
such career. She is a comfort
able sort of a girl who enjoys every
thing. The girls who know her
best declare she is the finest sort Of
house guest because she is not
only always ready to do anything
that is proposed but she does it as if
it were the very thing she would ra-
ther do than anything else in the
world. Miss Tillman was one of
the first girls of the Congressional
circle to drive an automobile and
is very enthusiastic motorist. She
is fine tennis player, splendid
horsewoman and thoroughly enjoys
outdoor life. Like all Southern
girls, Miss Tillman is good dancer.
Just now she is spending the sum-
mer months at the family home in
Trenton, S. c., where she went sew
eral weeks before the passage of the,
tariff bill.
THE second daughter of the fam
lily, Miss Sophie Tillman, was grad
mated with the degree of A. -B. last
June flora Hollins College, Va.
There is. also a fascinating younger
daughter, Sallie May, who is called
by both hersnames and who prom

Dispensary the Parent of the
Blind Tiger.
The following was published in
a recent issue of the McCormick
Messenger and was. clipped by
friend who requested that we pub
lish it in The Advertiser:
Mind yoursown business" says
the Abbeyille Medium. Yes sir
we are doing that very thing. We
have brothers, sisters, fathers and
mothers in Abbeville County, and
we are interested in their welfare
Not only so, but our county Of
Greenwood furnishes one-third Of
The money forlthe Abbeville dispen
sary, and the only dividends we get
is our pro rata share of the hell tha'
it produces. \
Is the tdispensary better than the
blind tiger? Perhaps so; but ii
looks bad for the parent to say thai
he is better than his child. Ii
Charleston there are numerous dis
pensaries, and yet we find more
blind tigers there than in half the
other towns IN the State combined
Why SO? They feed on their par
ent, the dispensary.
Wine is a mocker, strong drink
is raging and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise" fit is wrong
for the blind tigers to exist. then il
is wrong rsthe saloon or dispense
ry to be legalized.
Let us getsdown to cold calcu

eral we will say that gallon costs
sl.5o at wholesale, and that it re
tails for s3. Divide this into three
parts, 81. so for cost, fifty lcent.
for expenses, and 81 for the people:
taxes. This is a very poor business
proposition. Why not pay the one
dollar direct and have the other tc
deposit in the bank, or put it out in
to more legitimate channels of trade
where alllines Of business may reaT

why. Talk about robbing Peter to

Down with the dispensary, with its
rum and itsjags,
Reducing its patrons to poverty and

Down with traffic, its curse and its
blight,
Making men howl like demons al

Down with the curse that robs OF
bread,
And makes mothers wish their chill

Down withthe booze, with its rot
and its grog,
Transforming man into a two legged

Its burning out effect will cook out

And he who partakes to excess is
