The First Violation.

The first violation of the marriage
license law is reported from Spartan
burg county, where colored minister
married a couple of his own race with
out a license having been obtained.
The groom was sixteen-not ''sweet
sixteen the bride had lust passed
her fortieth mile-post. They say "an
old fool is the biggest fool" but when
a young and an old fool come together
it is pretty bad mix-up. After the
magistrate has finished with the offend
ing minister he will be sure that a Ii
cense is in existence before he ties the
next nuptial knot.

County Treasurer and Auditor
Commended.

Acting for the comptroller gen.
eral, Col. Dave H. Wise came up
from Aiken Monday and made the
annual settlement with County
Treasurer James T. Minis and Au-
ditor J. r. Zimmerman. Owing to
their accuracy, together with the
perfect system used in keeping the
books of these two offices, the set
tlement was fmade ill two or three
hours. After he had completed the
settlement Col. Wise told The Ad-
vertiser's representative that he
found the affairs of both Offices in
highly satisfactory condition. Au-
ditor Zimmerman and County
Treasurer Minis are both very ca
pable, painstaking men who know
how to keep their offices in proper
condition, and, mark our prediction,
every settlement they make here
after will be as entirely satisfactory
as the one of Monday.

Was The Division Just?

A Chinaman, dying, left eleven
sheep and three sons; and making a
will, left one-half of his estate to
his Oldest boy, one-fourth to the
next and one-sixth to the third SON.
They wished to divide without kill
ing sheep but could not see how
to do it, so they sent for wise law
yer. Sending to his own fold for
sheep, he put it in with the eleven.
Now take your half six, said he to
the eldest, and he did so; the Sec
ond, take your fourth-three; the
youngest, take your sixth and be-
gone-two; and they did so, when
the wise lawyer drove his own sheep
home.

Vastly Improved Conditions.

The excellent order and department
Of the crowds that attend large public
gatherings in Edgefeld countyis very
generally commented upon. Such a
well-nigh ideal condition does not OBJ
tain everywhere. A representative
citizen of Aiken county who attended
the Meriwether barbecue last Thurs
day, observing the splendid order on
that occasion, remarked to the writer
that on similar occasions, Aiken coun-
ty, generally one sees score of drunk
en- men who become more or less dis
orderly as the day advances.
There was a time in our county,
and not many years ago either, when
ladies were actually afraid to attend
public gatherings, especially during
campaign year, because of the disorder
that usually prevailed. Such is not
the case now. The men, both young
and old, who attend barbecues and pic
mics in Edgefeld nowadays, conduct
themselves as orderly and gentlemanly
as they do at church on Sunday. 1t is
generally conceded that the absence of
the legal sale of liquor has contributed
much to this very happy condition. In
this respect, contrast Aiken and Edge
field counties and see the difference.
Of course, there is liquor unlawfully
sold, here and there, but men are
growing more and more ashamed Of
being caught drunk on "blind tiger
liquor.
The trend of affairs in Edgefelc
county is indeed encouraging. The
good order at these public gatherings
only reflects in part the improved con.
ditions.

Every Detail Carefully Planned.

We were impressed with the care
and thought that was given to all of
the details by the members of the
club. Knowing that the we'll may
be unequal to the demand upon it,
water, freely supplied with ice, was
hauled for drinking purposes. Then,
too, in the centre of the grounds,
under the superintendency of that
prince of good fellows, Col. J. P.
DeLaughter, lemonade was dis
pensed at a very moderate price.
When it becomes more generally
known to what extent these annual
gatherings receive the careful per-
sonal attention of the members of
the club, the attendance will rapid
ly increase from year to year.
We are pleased that the club re-
allied sufficient funds to meet all
expenses of the occasion. Hereto
fore, a draft had to be made on the
treasury to supplement the days
receipts.

The * ding of the National Corn
Exposition in Columbia in 1913 will be
a great boon for South Carolina and
the South generally. For the next
two years the advertisement that the
exposition will receive in all parts of
the country will give South Carolina
more advertising than the state has
ever had before during the same length
of time. The coming of the corn ex-
position to Columbia no doubt is due
more to Jerry Moore than to any other
person or influence.

since, the end of the peach season.
Nearly all of the peaches are gone
except a few late July varieties and
a few in August. This year the
peach crop hasn't been as large as
usual, but the growers are satisfied,
as the returns this year were much
better than when the market is
crowded. On account of the long
dry spell during the spring and ear
ly summer truck farming wasn't
much of success. Very little can
ming was done because there was
nothing to make the peaches rot and
it was much more profitable to ship
them.
One of the finest cotton crops is
being raised over here this year that
has been raised in a good many
years. Corn isn't such success but
some of the farmers who make corn
raising a speciality have some very
fine fields of it.
Quite a good many people are ex,
pected to be at the Savannah valley
farmers association barbecue given
here on August End. Of course a
bountiful dinner will be supplied.
Some of the best speakers, in the
state will speak that day. Bearden's
band of Augusta will furnish music
for the young people to dance by.
Quite a number of automobiles and
other vehicles will be on hand to
carry parties of the people around
the country to view our beautiful
scenery. We regret that this bar
becue comes SO close to Centre
Spring so that more of our Edge
field friends would be able to at
tend.

The lawn was beautifully Lighted
with japanese lanterns. In one cor

nook wrapped in with vines, puncf

Mexico City, July 5.-With the out strike yet to be determined. the peo- pie of the capital were facing tonight two mope walkouts that threaten still further their body comfort. Their sup plies of cigarettes and breakfast rolls are endangered by a strike of factory hands called today and another of breadmakers promised for tomorrow.
 The street railway company main tained a limited service to the suburbs during the afternoon and evening fol- lowing a repudiation by the carmen of last nights agreement and their re- fusal to resume work this morning. cars were operated and those living In the city proper were compelled, for the most part, to get about as best they could The failure of the cars to make an appearance on their customary runs was a surprise to the inhabitants, who had read in their morning papers of the adjustment effected last night.
 The explanation forthcoming today was that a portion of the strikers dlsap- proved of the action of the mass meet ing and succeeded Tn rdllylnS Sulllclent force to offer formidable opposition to the men who were inclined to work. They gathered in numbers about the barns early today, attacked the cars which were sent out to convey crews to terminals and drive the men out. The attempt to start the service was given up then un- til the afternoon when good sized force of mounted police and rurales wss sent to the spot and with the aid of few score of imported men and old employees the suburban service was instituted.
 The company officials early in the day appealed to the British charge d'affaires for aid in obtaining protection for the companys property and the subject was taken up by him with the foreign rela- tions office.
 Several clashes occurred with strikers and the rabble who gathered at many points along the way but the disorders were not of a serious nature. Many arrests were made
 Officials believe that they will be able to resume regular service on practical .iy all lines tomorrow morning.
