Training the Girls.

The foundation of society rests
on its homes. The success of our
homes rests on the wives. Therefore,
first of all, teach our girls how to be
successful wives. Begin in their in
fancy to develop their characters.
Teach them to keep the smallest
promise as sacredly as an oath, and
to speak of people only as they
would speak Of them. Teach them to
look or the best quality in everyone
they meet, and to notice other peo-
ple's faults only to avoid them.
Train them to do small things well
and to delight in helping others,
and the necessity for sacrifice for
Others pleasure as means of soul
development. Once given firm
foundation of character. like this,
which the poorest as well as the
richest can give to their girls, and
no matter what necessity arises, they
will be able to rise above it.

Descendant Can Secure Cross.

The eldest descendant of a'confed
crate soldier who died before receiv-
ing Cross Of Honor, will now have
an opportunity of securing the cross
of his or her father. Those who are
entitled to such and desire cross,
will please apply at an early date
to Mrs. G. A. Griffin, at the Bank of
Edgefeld for descendants applica-
ton papers and fill out same, as soon
as possible, returning them to Mrs.
Griffin. No more Crosses of Honor
will be given to any one after the
year 1910, and for this reason the
e. D. G. have to let the descendants
apply now along with the veterans,
which has heretofore been strictly
against the rules.

The Respectable Saloon.

During lively discussion on the
subject of temperance in AN ALLIE
ghany mountain stage, one of the
company who had hitherto remain
ed silent said: Gentlemen, | want
you to understand that am liquor
dealer. l keep public house at,
but l would have you to know that
l have license, and keep decent
house. l don't keep loafers and loun-
gers about my place, and when a
man has enough, he can't get any
more at my bar. l sell to decent
people, and do respectable busi-
ness" Friend replied a Quaker,
shat is the most damnable part of
thy business. If thee would sell to
drunkards and loafers, thee would
help to kill off the race, and society
would be rid of them. But thee
takes the young, the poor, the in
nocent, and the unsuspecting, max
ing drunkards and loafers of them.
When their character and money
are all gone, thee kicks them out,
and turns them over to other shops
to finish off, and thee ensnares 9TH
ers and sends them on the same
road to ruin" Christian Endcavor

Edgefield Farmers First.

There is no questioning the fact
|that3as fine corn can be grown in
Edgefeld county as in Marlboro,
Clarendon OF any other county in
the state. A gentleman who was one
of the judges at the Georgia-Caroli-
ma Fair told the writer few days
ago that of the entire corn exhibit
last fall the finest specimens were
grown by two Edgefeld county far
mers, Mr.. A. A. Wells and Mr.. ].
M. Gardner. Scores of farmers are
going to show the outside world
next fall how much corn can be
produced on one acre of Edgefield
soil.

The names of all banks in South
Carolina whose surplus earnings
amount to sixty per cent of the capi-
tai stock are placed upon the roll
of honor. The minutes of the last
state bankers convention which

pprofts amount to something over
$50, 900. The management is to be

A Word to Trustees.

As the capitation dog tax swells
the public school fund of the county,
it is the duty of the trustees tolco-
operate with the township equaliza-
tion boards to the end that every
dog in the county be returned for
taxation. Doubtless the members
of the boards will add many dogs
whose owners have not included
them in their returns, but it will be
almost impossible for them to find
all of the un-returned dogs. Every
dog that is returned adds scots to
the school.fund.
