Defeated Mr.. Featherstone by
Making a "Deai."
E. G. Morgan, Sr.

Elsewhere in this issue, we are
reproducing the famous In Re
VIM. II. Ellerbe, Governor" edito-
rial of the Columbia State as a doc
ument very pertinent to the present
situation. This editorial shows
among other things that for the
sake of chance of high license for
which the Columbia State really
stood in those days, it was willing
TO put in the Office of governor a
man it did not even regard as trust
worthy, rather than support man
it recognized not only as able, but
as honorable and upright. Now
that same man, who was SO ruthless
ly undermined then is, after twelve
years more of true and tried service
in behalf of the cause for which
he has always so nobly fought Of
ferlng. his service again and is be-
ing fought no less strenuously than
before. Now that others have had
their try and failed by all that is
reasonable and just, it seems that
Mr.. Featherstone should have a
show. He cannot enforce prohibi-
tion unless the people of the state
say through majority of their rep
resentatives that is what they want;
but he can give South Carolina
clean and able administration and
this he will do. Yorkville En-

An Up-to.dateIcannery

The editor of the Advertiser
greatly enjoyed a visit to Mr.. ]. H..
Bussey's cannery several days ago.
Mr.. Bussey resides in the heart of
the Red Hill section, where the soil
is admirably adapted TO growing
fruit and vegetables of all-kinds.
Mr.. Bussey is thoroughly in love
with his work and he found pleas
ure in explaining the details of the
canning business. In one end of his
storage room we noticed very high
stacks of cans, ranging in size from
a quart to half gallon, and upon
questioning Mr.. Bussey learned that
this was an order placed by Col. E.
N. K. Bailey. He has canned a
large quantity of tomatoes, corn,
beans, apples, blackberries and
peaches for .ne S. G. c. ]. and has
not yet completed order. Before the
season closes he will put up two
barrels of pickle for the S. G. @.
II. students to feast upon. BY plac-
ing these orders With Mr. Bussey,
Col. Bailey not only patronizes a
home enterprise but he has the as
surance that his order is properly
filled. Only the choicest fruit and
vegetables are used, and these are
put up absolutely free from adul-
teration or poisonous acids of any
kind.
Besides filling individual orders
Mr.. Bussey has canned quantities
of fruit and vegetables that he will
sell on open market. He showed us
some delightful plum pickle, having
put up 90 dozen pint cans from one
tree. He also canned $50 worth of
sweet corn from half an acre of
land. He grows his fruit and vege-
tables on his own. farm and they are
gathered and canned under his per-
sonal supervision, which assures
consumers who use the output of
the Bussey cannery that they have
the best the market affords.

CAMPAIGN CLOSES.
Last of the Eight County Cam
paign Meetings Held in
The Court House Thurs
day Last.

The county campaign has practi-
cally closed, the last campaign,
meeting being held in the court
house Thursday. All of the candi-
dates have worked the field thorough
ly and most of them will now rest
upon their oars, awaiting the verdict
of the people which will be render
ed next Tuesde y.
In the absence of the county chair
man, Hon. B. E. Nicholson, the
meeting in the court house was pre-
sided over by Mr.. A. E. Padgett.s (
The attendance, while not large,
was larger than was expected, owing
to the Indifference that has been
manifested by the people in all parts
Of the county. Each candidate, from
the lowest to the highest, was given
an opportunity to present his
claims for Office.
The candidates for ne House
were the only ones to speak at
length in the forenoon, making, in
effect, their usual speeches. In the
afternoon Hon. G.. W.. Garris and
Hon. James F. Byrnes, candidates
for congress, presented their claims
in very creditable manner. Hon.
J. o. Patterson, who is a candidate
for reelection to congress, was not
present.
AS were the preceding seven
meetings, that Of Thurday was with
out especial feature or incident. This
practically closes the most orderly
campaign conducted in Edgefeld
county. All honor to the candidates
of 1910! A more gentlemanly set
can not be found in any county in
any state in the union.

One Side Enough.

Senator William Alden Smith
says the evident desire of Colonel
Roosevelt to listen to the plants of
both insurgents and regulars places
him in adifferent category frora an
Irish justice of the peace out in
Michigan. In trial the evidence
was all in and the plaintiffs attor-
ney had made a long and very elo-
quent argument, when the lawyer
acting for the defense arose.
What you doing?" asked the
justice as the lawyer began.
Going to present our side of the
case."
Il don't want to hear both sides
argued. 1t has a tendency to con-
fuse the court. .''-Washingtonia.

Lieutenant Governor Mcleod
Endorsed by Home People.

On Wednesday Afternoon July,
I3, an enthusiastic meeting of the
fcitRens Of Bigh opyill and surro round
ling country was held at W Woodward
Grove for the purpose of advancing
the candidacy of the Hon. Thos. G.
Mcleod for the Office of Governor.
The people of Lee county want to
show the Demo cratic voters of this
state what they think of their home
candidate. The following resolution
was adopted and committee of five
appointed to place the same before
the Democratic voters of the state
at the expense of the meeting:
We, the citizens of jBishopville
and surrounding territory, the home
of the Hon. Thos. G.. McLe cd, can
didate for Governor, do hereby in
Injecting assembled, voluntarily and
without his knowledge or solicita-
dion, heartily recommend him to the
emocratic voters of South Caroli-
ca, as in every way competent and
capable to fill the responsible duties
of Gov His ability is unques-
tionable; his character is irreproach-
able; his simple word is as binding
as his bond; always true to princi-,
pie, honor and integrity; his whole
life is an upanswerable argument to
the faintest whisper against his up
rightness of character, his sobriety
and his untarnished reputation.
Shortly after leaving college, he
lost his father, and taking charge
of his fathers estate, farm and mer-
camille business, he managed it with
great business judgment and sue
ceeded in paying off large indebt-
edness. At the same time he was
father to his brothers and sister,
educating them and to-day they
look up to, love and respect him as
a father. He has good judgment and
excellent executive ability, his cleo
tion can be no mistake and we be-
speak for him the support of the
democracy of South Carolina.
AS representative for two years,
as senator for four years, he al
ways stood for those things which
were for the best interest of the peo-
pie, and as Lieutenant Governor for
four years, he was absolutely fair
and impartial in his rulings and pre-
sided with dignity and ability and
we firmly. believe that his record
there made entities him to that pro-
motion which is always accorded an
honest and faithful public servant.

TEXAN RETURNS HOME.
Sage Of Falfa" Writes Letter
After Reaching Home, Tex
as Abounds in Hogs and
Corn.

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:-]
had intended writing you something
more of my 1e1as trip, but am feel
ing too unwell for the task at pres.
ent. I merely write to correct mis-
take which was made either by me
OF the typesetter. About that hog
with the block on, | really intended
to say | had seen but one hog that
looked like a razor back, but that
conjunction got mixed up some way
in it (possibly by me) and cut quite
a "tigger." No, sir, l never saw bet
ter hogs and they not few. Poland
China, Berkshire, Duvoc Jersey,
Red Jersey and l was told that the
Tamworth and Essex were also rails
ed to some extent. Most of the far
mers raise meat enough to supply
their families, i. e., where I was,
and most of them had corn raised
last year still in their. cribs. The
hogs for their next years supply of
meat are getting it twice day and
they show it in their looks.
The Heresford COW is coming to
the front also, and the Ped Poll,
and, the French Coach horse is now
taking the lead just for the last
three or for years. Very few ponies
or small mules are to be seen in the
farming sections, and l was told
that even on the ranches but few
ponies are raised.
~ believe it would pay any young
farmer to visit Texas and learn a
few things that he will never learn
here. By taking advantage Of return
rates one hundred and fifty dollars
would pay all his expenses of the
trip and would be worth twice that
amount to. him. However, | still
am Of the opinion that anyone hav-
ing a fairly good farm here would
make a mistake to sell out and go
to Texas, especially to the sections
of the state where the farmers own
their homes, for you just could not
buy a farm improved at less than
from $50, to $40 and even 500 an
acre. 0f course -that-depends upon
the location whether near or dis;
tant from rail road. Excuse this
rambling note. Hope that l may be
able to see you, Mr. Editor, before
long.

Bargaining Laborer Dissatisfied.

The householder gave commandment TO
his steward to begin payment with the
eleventh hour workers, and to give to
every man penny. This conduct OF the
householder could not. of course, De
either understood or appreciated by the
man whose only thought or concern was
the wages His complaint showed it.
Had he not worked twelve times the
hours of the eleventh hour workman
He cannot rise above the conception of
cold contract. There was no rejoicing
that the unfortunate eleventh hour men
were richly rewarded. They We're think
ing of the fierce rays of the midday sun
which they had borne: while these enter
ed the field while the cool breezes of
evening were tanning their brows.
The murmurs reached the ears of the
householder. His reply was complete. but
we cannot suppose that it satisfied the
envious objector. Il do. thee no wrong.
lis it not lawful for me to do what
because I am goOd?' The decision was
final 1t was in accord with justice and
with the higher law of love. The claim
of the householder that he may do what
not be pushed too far. AS it stands it is
one TO which no one can object. 1t is
right for a man to use his means. always.
and to the fullest extent in doing good.
This parable. rightly read, gives en-
coura gement to late entrance unto the
Lords service. In the study of the
parallels. the first question that should
be asked is, What is the purpose of the
parable? This has been given. The man
who can deliberately postpone his en-
trance upon the service of God, because
the la borer who was sent into the field
at the eleventh hour received as much as
those who went and toiled through the
entire day, is shamefully trifing with the
salvation of his soul. He misreads the
parable. and should he enter the vine
yard at the eleventh hour, 1t would be
shame and mockery.
