A Dishonest Young Man and an
Honest Young Man.

Several years ago young man
moved from Edgefeld county into
another state to seek his fortune.
He was at the time one of The Ad-
vertiser's subscribers, owing us for
several months subscription; .lbut
gave his new address and requested
that the paper be continued, stating
also that he would soon remit. AS
time passed on and hearing not q
word from the young fellow, we sent
him several statements Of his sub
scription, without ever receiving q
reply. Imagine our indignation
and utter disgust when recently we
received a card from the postmaster
stating that the paper had been re-
fused and lay sdead'' in the office.
Mark-you, the fellow went away
owing us but upon his request We
continued to mail him The Adverti-
ser; and instead of paying the
amount due and stopping the paper
as every honest man would have
done, he simply refused to take
the paper from the office, which
doubtless left the impression upon
the postmaster that the paper had
been forwarded to him without his
consent.
In marked contrast with this is
the experience we had with another
former Edgefeld boy: A young
man who formerly lived in our town
wrote us after locating elsewhere, to
place his name on The Advertisers
subscription list and forward him a
bill. We promptly began to send
him the paper but overlooked send
ing bill as requested. a few days
ago we received the following note;l
'Enclosed-you will find check for
s1.5o, which please place to my cred
it. I don't know how much | owe.
If Lam due you any more will send
it soon.'
Which of these former Edgefeld
boys would you trust with your
cash or merchandise? Oneis distinct
1y dishonest, while the other is the
soul ofhonor. The man who. jumps"
subscription account will treat a
store account or bank note Yin like
manner.

Elsewhere in this issue is pub
lished the notice of an election that
has been ordered by the County
Board Of Education upon the ques-
ton of voting a special levy in
Parksville school district. A very
important question now confronts
the people of Parksville. One, the
solution of which, will affect not
only the present but generations
yet unborn. Tie proposed levy
should be carried without a dis
senting ballot. The. people of Parks
Vile and vicinity being progress
sive people, can they in so impor-
tant a matter as this afford to take
step backward? Bacon, Edgefeld,
Long Cane, Liberty Hill, Johnston,
Plum Branch and White Town
SC hool districts have all voted spe-
cial levies for the support OF their
public schools. Can Parksville afford
to do less9
Incur judgment this is the prop
er and equitable way to supplement
the present school fund. Improve
the educational facilities of any
community and you also, and in the
same proportion, enhance the value
of the property in that community.
Everyone will admit this. Then, if
the property is rendered more de
sirable and more valuable, let the
property owners bear their pro rata
share of the support of the schools.
: The railroads, banks, manufacture
ING interests, rs well as real estate,
both Of resident an nonresident
owners, should all contribute to the
school fund in proportion as they
receive benefit.
No better way of reaching all in
terests equitably and justly can be
found than By making a special
levy upon all taxable property for
school purposes.

Tho only things familiar about the
Grafton baseball park now are the

Owing to the nature Of the grounds
the work of making a good diamond
at Fetterman was asbig undertaking.
But the work of three teams and SIX

now handle pop fies without falling

Grafton lost several games last
year by visiting teams knocking the

will be prevented this year by
swinging the diamond around, which

There was big ditch, or rather

From what has been seen OF the

general opinion that clarksburg has
pretty fine bunch OF players on
hand. The remark Is made on an
sides that the infeld is the speediest
and best looking the home team has
ever had for a try-out. Gibbs, the
Mason City lad who is signed for
third, is a good one, while Dunn,
Prepkie, Rafferty,, Petroskey, stroth.
and the two first basemen have all
shown fine playing qualities. 1t will
be hard tussle for first between
Miller and Llewelyn.
The outfeld Is practically settled
and the two pawsons and Bailey Will
likely have charge of the outer gar
dens. although there may be an
other man.

What will cotton do? 1t depends
upon the crop. If Mr.. ]. A. Tav,o-

a yield Of less than ten million ba1os
the crop will go over fifteen cents
how much higher nobody can nor,
predict. The gamblers can press j.
down or press it up temporarily Inv.
the real price in the long run will
depend On the size Of the crop. No
trust has yet been able to controI
the cotton crop-thanks to the fact
that so much of it is consumed abroad
If we had the bulk Of the cotton cron
controlled by a trust, as we have To-.
baccO, the price would have been 40
low as tobacco. Let cotton farmers
be thankful hat the world ompete

I have lived for a long time eighty
one years., and the longer l live the
more convincing proofs I see of this
truth, that God governs in the affairs
Of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall
20 the ground without His notice, is
it probable that al empire can rise
without His aid? We have been as
sured in the sacred writings, that
Except the Lord build the house,
they labor in vain that build it. I
firmly believe this; and I also believe
that without his concurring aid we
shall proceed in this political build
ing no better than the builders Of
Babel; we shall be divided by our lit
tie, partial, local interests; u pros
poets will be confounded; and we our
selves shall become a reprOach n a
byword down to future ages. And
what is worse, mankind may hereaf-
ter, from this unfortunate instance,
despair Of establishing government by
human wisdom, and leave it to
chance, war, or conquest. I therefore
beg leave to move that he~ncefOrth
