plenty Of Moisture.

The snow storm which commenced
Saturday and continued all night and
part of Sunday, until nearly foot OF
snow had fallen was accompanied by
rain or snow nearly all over the
state and was of inestimable value to
the farmers of the state. 1t will be
of great benefit to the hay crop OF
North Park and was said to be
worth 100000 an hour to the farms

Ill Advised Economy.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
been stickler for economy since his
connection with the department began,
but he should not retrench to such an
extent that the postal service is rem
dered inefficient, causing the interests
of the people to suffer-. 1t is reported
that six mail clerks have been taken
from the lines leading out of Columbia,
the line from Columbia to Augusta be-
ing one of them AS result of this
curtailment of the usual Of normal
force the mails are not handled with
the proper dispatch. Letters that are
collected along the route are nc. infre-
quently carried by stations to which
they are addressed because of the ina
bility of the limited force to distribute. or
sort the mail promptly. In this way
delivery of important mail is de-
layed.
The schedule of trains carrying mail
between Augusta and Columbia is bad
enough of itself; add to this inefficient
mail service and the condition becomes
intolerable.

One of the largest country stores
in this section of the state is that
of w. M. and j. T. QUITS Co., To-
Gated two miles south of Kirksey.
The firm is composed of w. M.
QUITS, J. T. QUITS and Jesse +.
QUITS. The latter, who is a very
thoroughgoing young man, is the
business manager. The business of
this popular store has steadily grown
year by year, drawing trade from a
distance of many miles in all di-
rections. They are in position to
make prices very low because ali
purchases are made in large quanti-
ties.
Besides dry goods, notions, cloth
ing, shoes, hardware, furniture and
vehicles of all kinds, this large store
has an up-to-date millinery depart
ment which does a large business
every season. An experienced milli-
ner, Miss Jane Harling, who is
known to many of our readers, is in
charge of this department. The fall
millinery opening will be held Oc-
tober End and 3rd. Read every word
that the w. M. and ]. T. QUITS 20.

The Advertiser was pleased to see
the announcement several days ago to
the effect that during the past year
the number of girls who work in the
cotton mills of South Carolina has de-
creased by 525 and that SCI less wo-
men work in the mills now than year
ago. 1t is unfortunate that women,
to the neglect of their homes and home
life, are forced by the lack of sufficient
income from other sources to work in
mills, but it is peculiarly unfortunate
that girls of. tender years are shut
within the walls of a mill from nine to
ten hours day. Many of these same
girls are in the providence of God to be-
come the mothers of the next generation
and nothing else so units them ply s

Negro Killed Near Parksville.

Friday afternoon a eolored man,
Bill Freeman, was killed by Mr..
J. Perry Brown. From what we can
learn it appears that the colored
man owed Mr.. Brown some money
and he went to the field to collect
it. After some angry words were
exchanged Bill struck Mr.. Brown
with rock, then several blows pass
ed between the two. The negro then
fired upon Mr.. Brown striking him
in the arm. Mr.. Brown returned the
fire, shooting the colored man four
times.
Mr.. Brown surrendered to the
sheriff Saturday morning and in a
short time thereafter was granted
bail by Judge DeVore in the sum
of 81, 900.

Valuable Services of Mr.. Tomp'
kins Appreciated.

In an article entitled, What its
newspapers Have Done for the
South" written for the 60th ami
versary edition of the New York
Times, the Hon. Clark Howell, edi-
tor of the Atlanta Constitution,
briefly refers to the south's leading
journals and newspaper writers, the
article as whole being of excep-
tional value from an historic stand
point. Mr.. Howell refers to what
the press has ACHE, ed in develop
ing and building up this section
which suffered SO disastrously on
account of the Civil War.
Mr.. Howell gives son of Edge
field, Mr.. D. A. Tompkins, credit
for a large share of what has been
achieved through the press of the
south, particularly along the line
of the development of the cotton
manufacturing industry. The follow
ing paragraph is reproduced from
Mr.. Howell's excellent article:
''Of all Southern newspaper men
the one whose practical work as an
industrial leader perhaps accom-
plished most is D. A. Tompkins of
the Charlotte Observer. Not that
Tompkins wrote more or said more
or argued more forcibly, but be-
cause he himself was-as he still
is-a builder. He, perhaps, has done
more to stimulate the cotton mill
development of the south than any
other man."

years to come as passing their early
life in the atmosphere of factory.
Would that the. figures from year to
Egear. could be made to show a marked.
decrease in the number of girls who
work in mills. Working in mills is
honorable and girls and young women
should be commended for their willing
ness to engage in honest employment
butt is nevertheless deplored that they
can not find employment amid more
wholesome conditions.
