Encouraged to Do More.

In well written article On the first
page of this issue, correspondent in
referring to the many fields of fine corn
that are seen in the Waycross-Elm-
wood d-McKendree sections gives The
Advertiser credit for this increased in
terest in corn culture. Doubtless
greater credit has been given this
newspaper than should have been &C
corded it, but we are glad to have had
even small part in bringing the peo-
Pile generally to realize that in order to
be Independent a farmer must first
grow his cereals at home.
The editor of The Advertiser has
given much time and effort, as well as
expended a considerable sum of money,
in order to achieve the coveted end,
and the only reward we expect or de-
sire is to see real lasting good result
from our efforts along this line. We
feel encouraged to undertake more in
the future for the agricultural interests
of the county than we have done here,

Combined For Mutual Protection.

The tobacco growers of Virginia and
North Carolina, about 10000 in num-
ber, who are allied with the Farmers
Union, have entered into an iron-clad
agreement not to sell their tobacco un-
til certain price is offered. Wonder
if the authorities in Washington will
institute legal proceedings against
them on the ground that these farmers
have entered into an unlawful trust or
combination? This is striking instance
in which the force of numbers is felt.
With $4,000 persons indicted in two
states it would be exceedingly difficult
to find juries that would convict the
ALLEGED violators of the law. The cot
to- growers can learn a lesson from
the tobacco farmers by likewise pool
ing their interests.

Filled Baptist Pulpit.

Rev. Geo. P. White filled the
Baptist pulpit Sunday morning,
preaching an excellent sermon.
Summed up in two words, his text
was the Holy Ghost. He began his
discourse by speaking of the fail
ure of so many churches to do the
work for which they were organized.
After close observation he reached
the conclusion that there are two
reasons why churches fail in their
mission: First, because of the very
large per cent of the members who
do nothing, and second because the
few who are really alive and active
are not prepared for their work by
being filled with the Holy Ghost,
not being entirely consecrated to
Gods service. Rev. Mr.. White
quo4ed and expounded the scripture
bearing upon this very important
theme, making the discourse inter,
esting as we'll as edifying to the
congregation.
Mr.. White is very earnest
speaker and his manner in the pull
pit is both pleasing and effective
He is doing an excellent work
among the Baptists of North Au
gusta. Mr.. White was born and
reared at Johnston and Edgefelc
county is very proud of his success
full career as a minister.

Death of Mr.. Fred Stillwell.

The friends of Mr.. Stillwell were
panied to learn of his sudden death
Monday morning. He had been as
sisting the patrons of Harmony
school in remodeling the school
building and after having left to go
10 his home died in his buggy of
heart failure. He was one of the
best citizens in that section of the
county. Always generous and public
spirited, ready to do his part in
whatever was undertaken. Mr.. Still
well was a prosperous farmer and
as a member of the Farmers Union
not'one was more loyal than he. He
was held in high esteem by all who
knew him. Mr.. Stillwell's wife died
several years ago.

busy to get out a different report.

Rural Police Growing in Favor.

The rural police system seems to be
growing in favor. Very gratifying re-
suits have been obtained by counties
that have tried the system, which has
caused others to adopt this means of
policing the rural districts. While in
conversation with the captain of Al
ken's rural police recently, the writer
was given several instances in which
disturbances were quelled and arrests
made of violators of the law, who, but
for the presence Of these mounted
officers, would have gone unpunished,
The very presence of such officers,
whose duty it is to constantly patrol
the county, deters the criminal class
and causes the vagrant to seek employ
ment or leave for other fields for loaf
ing.

Give Him Full Cooperation.

1t has been announced that begin
ming with the first Of September, the
county agents of the farm demonstra-
ton work throughout the state will
inaugurate legume and winter cover
crop campaign, visiting the individual
farmers at their homes and urging
them to plant these crops. No more
important work could be planned at
this time, and there is no other county
in the state that awakening along
this line more than Edgefeld. When
Mr.. Lott calls at your home and pre-
sents this matter to you face to face,
if he has not already done so, give your
fullest sympathy and cooperation. If
farmers begin the planting of winter
legumes under the direction of Mr..
Lott, the time will come when they
will feel deeply grateful to him for his
suggestions and counsel.

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS
Continued from page L.


is the mistaken idea of planting
more acres than can be properly
preparedand fertilized. We will
schedule to the horse: oats two
acres, corn four acres, wheat two
acres, cotton ten acres at most, peas
for seed two acres and peas for hay
two acres. This is a twenty-acre
farm and at this ratio on almost any
soil in this county or in the state, a
farmer should become well-to-do.
We must of necessity get away
from the idea of large farms, with
our enormous idea of agriculture in
the spring of the year, with the one
mule and the scooter" guided in
side the field by one careless, sense
less darkey with one eye on the sun
the other on de boss" and with an
other of the same faith tripping
up and down the rows with the
smoke fertilizer family "descernable"
from. the muZzle or a ten cenG Irun-
pet. And then plant the poorest OF
seed in 8 inches of earth over 40
acres of poor country, tug, tell and
sweat all for the sake of what Pap
done in old time." There is hardly
any part of the United States where
the soil has been put to the extreme
test with the woeful results equal to
that of the cotton states. 10 say
it is wrong and ruinous is express
ing it mildly.
Valuable information is so abun-
dant and cheap, that there is no e3-
cuse for any man to be in the dark
as to the best and most profitable
methods of procedure in his special
occupation.

A Countrywide Fair.

Some counties in the state have nev-
er held fair, while others have made
an attempt but failed to succeed with
the undertaking. Edgefeld has. held
two fairs and both of them were sig
nally successful. Now that the enter
prise has passed the experimental
stage, should not the people of the
county come together and make the
fair this fall one of the very best coun-
ty fairs in the state? 1t can be done.
If the two fairs that have been held
have stimulated agriculture along all
lines, stock raising particp'cfiy, which
no one will question, think of the pos
sibilities that lie within reach if the en-
terprise were made countrywide. I'm
fortunately, farmers as class have
not given their full cooperation in the
past, but we have reason to believe
that a greater number will take an ac-
tive interest in the fair to be held in
October.
The stockholders of the fair associa-
ton have put up the cash for erecting
the buildings and improving the
grounds, being actuated by public
spirited motives rather than by hope
of personal gain. Furthermore, every
dollar of the amount that has beer
made above actual expenses in the past
has been used in improving the proper
ty,smaking possible larger and bet
ter fair the next year. Nothing ha:
been paid out as dividend on the money
invested. Surely, then, with splen
did equipment already provided, the
farmers from all sections should come
in and put their shoulders to the wheel
making the fair of 1911 the best coun
ty fair ever held in the state.

Five Homicides in Thirty Days.

Aiken county is surprising the
bloody record that Saluda had in the
palmy days of the dispensary. For a
time Saluda had homicide regularly
every week. Aiken has had five homi-

all in all, is not sober, orderly, lava
biding citizenship to be preferred to
profits from liquor selling? Conditions

past five years-every unprejudiced

There seems to be no end to the
trouble caused by the recent contracts
made for text books by the state board

of the matter was discussed immedi-
ately after the announcement of the
sweeping change was made. But now
an entirely new aspect has come up for
consideration, which, is the refusal of the
county board of education of Florence
