President and His Party,

The Hague, April 29.-Theodore
Roosevelt was welcomed here at mid
night with an astonishing demonstra-
ton.
The masses who were waiting at the
railway station when he alighted from
the train, swept him along toward his
carriage. The police were powerless
TO check the violent rushes, IN which
many were thrown to the ground.
Foreign Minister Swindren, whose
wife was Bessie Glover of Washington
ID. C., received Colonel Roosevelt on
the railway platform in behalf of the
government and drove with him in q
court equipage through the decorated
streets to the Hotel Des hides, near the
American legation
The great, orderly assemblage Of
townspeople, cheering and waving the
Stars and Stripes, remained outside
long after Colonel Roosevelt had en-
tered his hotel Frequently the crowd
burst into song and called for the eX-
president to appear. Finally he came
out upon a balcony and bowed to the
multitude. then withdrew. The crowi
however. remained some time after
ward, singing patriotic songs before it
dispersed.

until he reached here, the cordially of
the people toward him was remarkable
When Colonel Roosevelt arrived at the
summer home of the queen at Hetleo
the prince consort was standing on the
front steps awaiting him. Prince Hen
~, without awaiting an introduction,
shook the American eX-presidents hand
and assisted him to alight from the
royal automobile which had brought
his party from Anthem. After meeting
Mrs. Roosevelt Miss Ethel and Kermit
the prince had them shown to their
rooms. Afterwards they were received
by the queen in her small drawing
room.
After luncheon, the queen remarked
she was sorry she could not show the
little baby princess to the Americans,
as the baby and her husband, too, had
been vaccinated in the morning.
The private car which had been pro-
vided for the Americans in some man
ner got lost, so the Roosevelts and
Mr. and Mrs, Beaupre took cOmpart-

Reduce Cotton Acreage

Again we warn farmers not to put
too many eggsin the cotton basket this
year. There is. no telling what the
price will be next fall. An exchange,
among other reasons assigned for a
low price for the ne.s crop, gives the
following SIS one:
Because the greed of the cotton
mill lords grows. They want more
profit. They mean to get profit. They
mean to get even with and ahead of
the farmers for having hadt pay Ia
cents for cotton this year. BY Sep
TENDER LIST they will be organized as
one big strong force, while the far
.mors are single and scattered"
The mills can be depended upon to
purchase raw cotton at the lowestpos-
sible figure. Who cs2 blame them?
The farmer looks to his interest by get
ting everyfraction of a Cent he can for
his cotton. Now, should the mills,
aided and Allotted by the spectators,
succeed in forcing a decline, a ma
jority of the farmers of this county
will be helpless, being forced Cypress
ing Obligations to sell
The only safe course for the farmer
is to make few debtsYplant largely OF
food and reduce the cotton acre
age as low as possible.

The Veterans Dinner.

Memorial Day, presumably the
10th of May, will be a great day for
the veterans of Edgefield county.
All of them have been invited to be
guests of honor of the Edgefeld
chapter, u. D. c., on that day. The
names are already coming in and it
is very earnestly desired that every
one of them accept the invita-
ton. The day will be exceedingly
pleasant for the veterans. While
feasting upon the good things that
the Daughters will provide they
can relate their wartime experiences.
The keys. to the Town, hearts and
homes will be turned over to the
old Rebs" on Memorial Day: Let
those who have not sent in their
names to do so at once. Send to
either of the following committee:

date.

The paramount issue in the campaign
this summer will be the liquor question,
which in the very nature of the case
will divide the people of the state into
two general classes: those who favor
the legal sale of liquor and those who
oppose it. The outlook at present is
that at least half a dozen candidates
will be announced for governor, and
while most of them would doubt
less fill the position of chief executive
with credit to themselves and to the
state, it should not be difficult for the
voters who oppose the sale of liquor to
make a selection.
Hon. C. C. Featherstone, the first to
announce his candidacy for governor,
is an able member of the Laurens bar,
prominent in the councils of the Meth
odist Conference and a man above re-
proach, both in private life and in pub
lie service. In testimony of his high
character and ability as a lawyer, Mr.
Featherstone has on more than one
occasion been commissioned as speci. !
judge.
MI. Featherstone, as every one knows
who knows him at all, is tooth-and-toe
against the sale Of whiskey in every
form. Instead Of being a recent coz
vert, enlisting in the ranks after Tie

movement became popular, he is q
member of the odd guard" He it
was wh6 took up the fight when prohi-
bition was unpopular; when to espouse
the cause by an aspirant to public of
flee meant ignominious defeat. Not
withstanding the fact that his high and
uncompromising stand upon this great
moral question caused him to go down
in defeat in more than one campaign,
he has never swerved an .iota OF
receded from his high stand. Mr..
| Featherstone has never failed to raise
his voice n defense of prohibition in
the face of bitterest opposition.
It must indeed be very gratifying to
him to see the very marked change
that public sentiment has undergone ir
South Carolina. The cause once SO
unpopular is now popular, numbering
nmong its advocates, not only a major,
ty of the masses of the people, but
many of the leading men Of every pro,
fession.> And be it said to Mr.. Feath.
e%rstone's honor and credit that no in
dividual citizen of South Carolina has
had more to do with creating this sen.
timent and rendering the prohibition
cause popular than he.
In recognitiono of his loyalty, faithful
ness and answering devotion to duty,
the people of South Carolina should
make him their next governor. And we
confidently believe they will thus re.
ward him.

Progressive Country Merchant.

We confidently believe that no
county in the state has more aggres-
sive country merchants than has
Edgefeld. And prominent among
them is DR.. w. E. Prescott who
carriesa very large, well-selected
stock of general merchandise and
plantation supplies. DR.. Prescott
believes in advertising, letting the
people know what he sells, and
therefore has put an advertisement
in ouI columns in order to reach
the people of the west side of the
county. Read what he says about
his large stock. He calls the espe-
cial attention of the young men to
his stylish low cut shoes. Every
department of his store is well
stocked.

Plant Good Seed.

There was a time-and not many
years ago, either-when a gardener or
farmer would plant almost any seed
that were offered him, only needing to
be assured that they would terminate.
Not so now. Farmers have learned
through farmers Institutes and agri-
cultural journals, as well as from &C.
tual experience, thatif highly satisfac-
tory results are obtained from the gar
den or field crops, careful attention
must be given to the selection of we'll
bred seed. It costs no more to fertili-
re and cultivate a crop that comes
from well-bred seed than it does one
from inferior seed, while the net profit
realized from the former is much
greater than that fromthe latter. Why
cultivate corn thatproduces 'tnubbins''
chiefly. when the same expense and Ia
Dor will make corn that yields from one
to two well-developed ears to the stalk?
Why plant cotton that makes a ire
rnendous stalk and long limbs, with but
little fruit, when a compact variety
that fruits well can be grown with the
same expense and labor?
The day for taking seed corn from a
sack of western ORR has passed, and
the farmer who continues such a prac-
tice is not worthy of being called a far
mer. It is better to spend a few dol
lars for well-bred seed than to plant
that grownupon your own farm, unless
you are satisfied that it is strictly
f~irst-class.

First Season a Success.

Messrs. Boldie g Poland decided
about the middle of January last
that they would embark in the live
stock and livery business. They at
once began the erection of suitable
stables and Mr.. Boddie went to
Tennessee for the first car of stock.
Soon after its arrival, the first ship
ment of stock 5as sold. Afterwards
two additional ears were ordered,
making three that have been sold
by this aggressive firm since the
middle of January. Their friends
are congratulating these gentlemen
! upon the great success of their first
season. Messrs. Boddie q Poland
will give their attention to stock
raising during the spring and sum-
mer, having a large pasture on the

The Maxwell cars can stand the
severest test on Edgefeld county
roads. On Friday last Hon. w. A.
Strom came from Augusta to Edge
field by way Of Aiken in one hour
and a half. There were three other
passengers aboard besides Mr..
Strom. Forty miles in an hour and
a half through Aiken's sand and
over Edgefeld's hills is a good rec
ord. Maxwell cars are not only beauti
full and substantially constructed but
have speed and wearing qualities.
