A Good Man.

The Advertiser seldom espouses the
cause of a candidate for Office. AT
times, however, we feel justified in de-
parting from this custom. In this con-
nection we might ask, Did you ever
know this newspaper to support an
unworthy man for office? We have
occasionally supported worthy men
without reward OF hope of reward, but
there is not enough money in Wall
Street to induce this newspaper to sup
port a man whom its editor can not
conscientiously endorse.
As an exception to our rule, we de.
sire to present the name of the Hon.
Charles A. Smith, candidate for lieu.
tenant-goyernor, to those who may moi
know of his fitness. MI. Smith is q
successful business man of high moral
character, a man who has managed his
private interests with signal success.
And he is not without experience in the
legislative halls, having ably repre-
scented Florence county as a member Of
the House for four years.
Mr. Smith is active in the affairs of
his church, as well as in the affairs OF
state, having seryeda as president of the
State Baptist convention tor several
years. Those who vote for Mr.. Smith
will make no mistake.

Very Fine Prize Corn.

Several afternoons: o the Adver-
tiser man had the pleasure of going
through the prize acre of corn of
Master William QUITS. The rows
are FIVE feet apart and the corn is
from six to twelve inches in the
drill. Bats prolific corn was plant
ed, and where it is not too thick
stalks with three and four ears can
be found. Of course, some of it has
only one ear, while much of it has
two to the stalk. Ii some places it
fred considerably, apparently
through lack of moisture. Upon the
whole, we consider it a very fine
piece of corn, and we feel confident
that it will win one of the prizes
offered through the Boys Corn
Club. This prize acre is certainly a
very beautiful and inspiring sight.
Surrounding Williams acre is a
large field of very fine corn, CON
tanning in all twenty-odd acres,
which belongs to his father, MI. J.
P. QUITS. This is nota prize patch,
nevertheless it is very fine for up
land corn. It has been estimated
thatrMr. QUITS will harvest 800
bushels from the entire field.

is it notiia shame forsouth Carolina
liquor people to be pointing to Angus

of prohibition, when it is all because of
the groggeryyw we ourselves are main
tanning just across the river on the
South Carolina side? Statewide pro-
hibition would remove this nuisance at
North Augusta.-Yor.. 7ille Enquirer.
AT first the prohibition law was rea-
sonably well enforced in Augusta but
after the dispensary was established
in North Augusta, which put liquor
under Augustus nose, the people of
that city made no further attempt to
enforce the law. Aiken County's dis
pensary, established under so-called To-
cal option, made Georgia's prohibition
law of none effect. It is with poor
grace indeed that these men now point
to prohibition as a failure in Augusta.

Why Should Mr.. Patterson be
Returned to Congress-?

Mr.. Editor | am thoroughly
convinced that the Hon. j. o.. Pat
tesson should be returned to con-
gress by the voters of this district:
LIST. Because he is q conscientious
Christian gentleman.
End. Because he has demonstrate
ed his fitness and competency to
represent his people.
3rd. Because having done much
already, his experience rs a repre-
sentative and acquaintance with
congressional legislation will give
him the knowledge and facility that
will enable him to be of more bene-
fit to his countr than ever before.
.4th. His heart and hand are in
his work and he clearly evinces the
progressive spirit of the times.
There is nothing to be urged
against his opponents-nothing for
or against them-only that neither
gentleman is suffering for lack of
horors or emolument. One is q bank
president, the other was elected
solicitor for a term of four years at
a handsome salary, and he has serv-
ed two years-half the task the peo-
pie gave him.

Mr.. Garris Explains Apparent
Newspaper Support.

I wish to call the attention of the
people to what appears to be news
paper support of candidates for
Congress. It would appear from
the various editions of the County
Press that one candidate is popular
one week and another the next. I
wish to advise the public that prac-
tically every word said in this cam
paign for. or against a candidate,
and every picture made of him has
been paid for at agreed rates with
the printer. So that the number of
good things said about any candi-
date in any paper is the exact meas
ure of the cash paid for these things.
I do not blame the proprietors of
the newspapers; they have space for
sale, and the space has been sold.
I only write this for the benefit of
those who think that certain news
papers have been supporting the
candidate they advertise. These
columns have been open to me upon
the same terms, and I could have
said any amount of good things
about myself if / could have con-
veniently parted with the price.
have written this purely for
the benefit of the public, SO that
they would know that what has
been said of other candidates has
been paid for just asNI am paying
for this article. l have made a
clean campaign in, the interest of
my country. I have stated my
views frankly, keeping them strict
ly within party bounds They have
been unanswered and upon this rec
ord 1 ask the support of the people.

Citizen,
Beautiful Ancestral Home.

While in Clark's Hill last week,
accompanied by Mrs. Minis, it was
the writer's good fortune to be the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Adams,
and only those who have visited
this happy home know how beauti-
full, how who.e-souled is it's hospi-
tally. This stately old home, the
ancestral home of Mrs. Adams, was
granted by King George to the pio-
neer Meriwethers and has remained
in possession of the family. The
view from the veranda. and from
different places ABOUT the premises
rivals mountain scenery. In one di-
rection the home of Mr.. james Car
rett six miles away can be seen, and
in the opposite direction the hills
of Columbia county, Georgia, are
in full view, with many chains of
hills in the fore ground. We are in
deed very grateful to Mr.. and Mrs.
Adams for their thoughtful kind
ness, both in their home and ct the
picnic.
We were made happy by meeting
Miss Caddie Meriwether who was
visiting. Mrs. Adams, her cousin.
Miss Caddie made many friends
during her stay in Edgefield. Our
visit in Clark's Hill was entirely too
short. The more we saw of the peo-
pie Of that community, among whom
we have many warm personal
friends, the more loath we were to
leave However, We hope to make
them a longer visit at some future
time. We shall have more to say Of
our Clark's Hill visit next week.

Warning to Prohibitionists.

Those who have been fighting whis'
key in South Carolina should be careful
in casting their ballot for candidate
for governor next Tuesday, lest by
their vote they contribute to the un,
doing Of that which they have already
accomplished.
The liquor interests of the country
have always opposed local option when.
ever and wherever they have been ir
the majority. Such was the case ir
Nebraska recently when the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan suffered de.
feat in his own state. Heonly askedthe
right Ct local option in dealing with the
whiskey evil. This the, liquor men de-
MED.
In the palmy days of the dispensary,
when South Carolina was in the clutches
of the whiskey g~rafters and defrauders
of the north and west, local option
was strenuously opposed. Liquor men
said nothing then about this so-called
Democratic principle. 1t was not until
a long and arduous fight had been
waged that the Brice bill was passed,
giving the counties the right to vote
out liquor.
Mark you, in the good old days OF
dispensary graft, some ;of those who
opposed local option are now among
the loudest to clamor for it. Therefore,
prohibitionists should be slow to fall in
line with them. The local option Ii
guor advocates hope to continue the
sale of whiskey in certain counties un-
til the profits that are being made, to-
gether with the corrupting influence
upon the adjoining counties, shall cause
the latter to vote the dispensary
back.
We know that many good men, some
of them prohibitionists, favor local OPP
ton but if they will give the matter
serious thought they will not cast their
ballots along with the liquor
men of South Carolina and ofthe coun-
try at large.

great credit to 4e gentlemen named
Every INDICATION is that the fair
next fall on October 26th, 9th,
and 2sth, will be record-breaking,
and a complete success. The peo-
pie Of the county are generally in
terested in the fair and it is becom-
ing the chief talk among our peo-
pie. The fair of last year far ex-
ceeded the expectations of our peo-
pie and that has given the enter
prise a good send off.
Among the features Of the cata-
log OF the prizes are cuts of Messrs.
Jas. RS Cantelou, president of the
association; B. b. Jones, manager;
l.. w. Cheatham, secretary, and

in full, together with all necessary
Instructions. The premium list is
full and attractive. Anyone desir-
ing a copy Of the brochure, can OBJ
tain it by applying to Mr.. L. w.
Cheatham, secretary of the associa-
ton.
The house room at the fair
grounds will be materially increased
before OCTOBER and every accomo-
dation will far exceed that Of last
year.
"Edgefield county is making fast
strides in the matter of agriculture.
Its corn crop this year will be a

RATHER Just after the speaking Lass
Thursday afternoon, one OF she
boys told us how this fuss 'twiXt
liquor and melon once saved the
late Senator Latimer a bit of money
here. 1t was back in the days Of
the dispensary's glory in Old Edge
field, when so many Of the boys"
had thought they had to have an
extra nip or two on speaking.
days to help them keep up the
grand old county's political reputa-
ton, that the big-hearted Senator
thought to treat the boys to mel
ons. But it didn't take but two!
But two on that hot day. The mar
with the liquor had gotten there
first. Liquor and melons won't
mix and the boys knew it.
But y~oulcould safely bet that no
candidate could have treated last
Thursdays crowd with any two
Goorgia-rattlers that ever grew;
for nobody was afraid to eat mel
ons! Nobody was drunk
Yet rumor comes with her very
certain hearsay tales and says that
there was even last Thursday a
thousand gallons of liquor sitting
round in Edeetield town Just await
ing to be drunk. What a proof
this is of the wonderful strength of
the police power of Prohibition!
Read it over! rhink Of it! A thou
sand gallons in historic Old Edge
field during a political meeting and
yet nobody drunk, nobody killed,
nobody afraid to eat melons!
Boys, if that rumor really be true,
Prohibition is no tottering power.
That's how it sounds to me! How
does it strike you? Why let me tell
you something. Gems. Gary and
Butler were counted wizards of
power (and they were) when in Re
construction days they outwitted
the %blue-coated Yankees and awed
the freedom drunken darkies with
THE Red.shirt's' fiery flare; but a
ring higher methinks must stand
the mayor, marshal, or policeman
who can bring the candidates to
town with a thousand gallons of
liquor Just kinder floating round
and yet have nobody killed, nobody
drunk, nobody afraid to eat melons.
The melons owe them their first
medal for keeping the market open:
Edgetield womanhood, her fairest
smiles: and the manhood of our
brave old town, their heartiest con-
gratulations.
But we won't be hard OH our an
,ti-prohibitionist, whoever he is,
for calling a calf's tail q leg never
gives it an extra foot to use. Real
ly, we seriously doubt if there has
been that much alcoholic liquor in
town during the last year. Be that
as it may, so long as the liquor deal
er must sneak his goods into town.;
50 long as he must peddle it from
pocket and barn and from swamp
and alley; SO long as he needs
screens and blinds and curtains be-
tween his sales and the street; so
long as the man who sells it is
thought of as a half-brother to a
thief; so long as the boys at the
close Of a ,campaign-speaking-day
dare gather sober and jolly round
the great red-hearted- Georgia-rat-
tlers-.iust so long will we saySPro-
