Tae outlook NOV Encouraging.

:.
Two weeks age. the business outlook
was exceedingly d~iscouraging, espec-
Tally for the farmers and merchants.
The crops were late and unpromising,
having suffered greatly from the ex-
cessiye rains and lack of work. How
ever the favorable weather of the past
few weeks has given an entirely dit
erent color to the situation. The corn
crop is the best that the county has
made in many years, and with a con-
tinuation of favorable conditions cotton
willmake an average. crop in most Sec
tons. Farmerslin the western portion
of the, county have the best crops that
they have had in several years, while
in other sections cotton is considerably
behind former years.
So far as the town of Edgefield is
concerned, the outlook for a normal
amounted business this fall is bright
Crops in the main are good inthe gee
tons from. which the town receives Its
largest support.

Home Grown Biscuits.

For the first time, The Advert.
ser family is enjoying the luxury
of home grown flour, 1t being our
good fortune to make forty-odd
bushels of wheat this year. We
preach" growing corn, wheat and
oats through our columns and we
endeavor to practice the preach
ing" by growing an abundance of
these cereals on The Advertiser
farm. While the afore mentioned
homegrown flour is just a little off
in color, this is offset by the very
excellent flavor and the assurance
that it is free from adulteration,
pellagra germs, etc.

Should be Stock Raisers.

A shortcoming that is common to
the majority of farmers in this
county is their failure to raise stock,
especially horses and mules. In
Mr.! E. G.. Morgan;s letter from
Texas, published on our front page
this week, he speaks of the great
number of horse and mule colts that
he has seen while travelling in Tex
as. Every Texan who owns "a mare
is a stock raiser. Would hal this
could be said of the farmers in this
county! Were that the case, so many
car loads of western stock would
not have to be shipped into the
county every spring.

RED HILL MEETING
CONTINUED from page y

every 800 dollars that Clemson re-
tc,eiyes is paid by the farmers. Give
Clemson college what it actually
needs and let the balance go to the
support of the public schools. He
said the High School law helps
those who are able to help them
selves. The people in the, country
cannot comply with the conditions,
consequently can not get any aid
under the present high school law.
A certain number of pupils in the
high grades Isl required and the
weaker schools in the country can
not furnish the pupils.
MI. Courtney next discussed
tgoodroads. He favors abolishing
the state farms and place the con-
yicts on the public roads. He says
our supervisor isnow employing a
life term convict from the peniten-
tiary that was convicted and sent
up by this county. Why should
Edgefeld be put to the expense of
conyicting a man and then be fore
ed to hire him back from the peni-
tertiary? He cited the good roads
of Georgis.that are worked by the
conyicts. GIVE the country people
good schools and better roads. and
they will quit moving to town to
educate thair children.
MI. Courtney said his father was
a confederate veteran, having serv-
ed in tie. amy four years. He said
that, if elected, he. expects to do all
he can for the veterans. He favors
four-yearterms- for county offices.
AS it is now some of them scarcely
become familiar with the duties of
their oficebefore they have to en-
ter anothe campaign for re-elec-
ton, and that sometimes they are
accused of doing things to make
them popular with the people. He
promised if elected to stady every
question cleely that comes up, and
give it his very best thought and
attention. When his term expires
he will hand back his commission
unpoltted aid free from all that is
wrong.
The conclusion of Nj. Courtney's
speech brought to a close a very
pleasant and profitable meeting. All
honor to the good people of Red
Hill for thor. good attendance,
splendid orde; and very excellent
dinner.

MIR. Festherstone has First Claim.

Some of the anti-prohibition papers
are greatly exercisedover the prospect
of Hon. c. C. Featherstone's election.
They realize that unless something is
done to tear down his political strong
holds, unless the confidence of the peo-
pie be shaken in him, Mr.. Featherstone
viii in all probability be South Caro-
lina's next governor. Failing to find
any fault or shortcomings in the mar
himself, his private or public1ife, they
would have the public believe that ne
has been guilty Of. glaring inconsistent
cies in his views on the liquor question.
But what are the facts in a nut shell?
MI. Featherstone, like every other
true prohibitionist, has all down through
the years, labored increasingly to cur
/, tail the consumption of whiskey and
to prohibit its sale wherever possible.
He was loyalto the cause when it was
unpopular, when it cost something to
be q prohibitionist. He has always
taken background in dealing with this
great moral question and has had the
moral con, age to stand by his convic-
tons. Who would dare charge to the
contrary?
Granting that the means en-
ployed or suggested by Mr.. Feath-
erstone to accomplish the coveted end
have changed. that should be expected
under a change of conditions. 1t cannot,
however, be charged that he has ever
swerged from his high purpose or COM
promised;with the enemy. Whatever may
be said by those opposing his candi-
dacy, Mr.. Featherstone has been con-
sistent; persistent and insistent enemy
of whiskey. Canthis- be said of any
other candidate for governor?
Mr.. Hyatt has-doubtless been a life
longprohibitionist but has been more
or less lul;ewarm; never an. open, ag-
gressiye enemy of whiskey.
Mr.. Mcleod was elected lieutenant
governor for two terms as an advocate
o the .staEe dispensary. He only be-
came "a prohibitionist when he was
forced to choose between a county dis
pensary or prohibition. He never adj
vocated psohibition whenthe cause was
unpopular, needing friends and sup
porters.
Mr.. Richards was likewise an ardent
supporter of the state dispensary;
fought fo1 its continuance. He. too.
espousedIrnhihitinn when it was, in a
sense, forced upon ntm.T-----
MI. BE se as everybody knows is g
dyed-in-ths-wool whiskey advocate, ani
Sopen emery Of prohibition.
As.to Nj. Duncan, he is not aseriors

Z. Featherstone has fortwenty-tiye

eyesy Rhetherby the individual
county ofxate. He is oneof thep
neer prohibNionists and has dGlbtess
contributed nsre than any othlr man
in South Carolha to the making ohs6
counties dry.
After considering the claims each
candidate separately, 1T eaaot bel
