DEATH of Mrs. Crawford. Parks
yiIle's Matrimonial Bureau.

Better is the day of a mans
death, than the day of his birth"
sayeth the scriptures. Man, in the
Bible of course, is usually used in
its generic sense, and means either
man or woman. These words from
Holy writ came into my mind last
week when that aged good woman,
Mrs. Geo. w. Crawford, passed into
the beyond. She was old, had seen
a great deal of the pain, heartaches
and disappoin:ments of their sublu-
nary existence, and we believe was
thoroughly prepared to receive the
welcome plaudit of the Master, and
go up higher. On last Friday her
mortal remains were laid to rest in
the Modoc cemetery beside that OF
her departed husband, who had
preceded her many years. She leaves
four daughters, Mrs. Press Moore,
of Plum Branch, Mrs. Matte and
Lizzie Beasley, of Harlem, Ga. Mrs.

Southern Farmers Have Monopoly.

The people of the old mother coun-
try seem to be willing for the people
on this side of the Atlantic to continue
to supply them with raw cotton for
their spindles. The annual report of
the British Cotton Growing association
sets forth that the work of the associ-
alton has been handicapped by the
apathy end Indifference of the people.
The fal ...ers of handful of southern
states have a monopoly of the cotton
production and should always be in a
position to control the price, withhold
ing the staple from the market when
the price is not profitable. The farm
ers of the cotton belt are learning a
few things from experience, and we
trust that the day is not far distant
when they will be "out of the woods, ="
in position to assert their indepen-
dence.

Which Is Correct?

Last week we published a detailed
statement of The Advertisers circula-
ton, showing it to be 1,573 copies, and
placing that of The Chronicle at less
than LOO, neither of which state
ments have been questioned or denied,
yet The Chronicle still printed its usual
claim, Largest circulation in Edge
field county," at the top of its editorial
column, If at any time properly at
tested record shows that the circulation
of The Advertiser is less than that OF
any other paper in the county, then we
will, without murmur, Withdraw our
claim to the largest circulation in the
county. Should not The Chronicle do
likewise?

Early Change of Schedule Contemplated

Early Change of Schedule Contemplated.
While in olumbia last Friday, the
editor of The Advertiser called to see
Mr.. H. A. Williams, the superinten-
dent of the Columbia division of the
Southern railroad, concerning the in
convenient schedule that has been In
effect for some months between Co.
iumbia and Augusta. Mr.. Williams
stated that at the time the present
schedule became effective, he re-
commended that the passenger service
between Columbia and Augusta be sup
plemented with a motor car. 1t was
his plan to have this car leave Leesville
early every morning and come to Edge
field, thence to Augusta, arriving at
about ten o'clock. Then make mid
day trip to Johnston, returning to Au-
gusta by the middle of the afternoon,
and then leave again for Leesville and
the intermediate points at say five or
six O'Clock. A motor car, such as was
recommended for this branch of the
Southern, has been operated between
Anderson and Greenville for some
months with very satisfactory results.
For some reason or other Mr.. Williams
suggestion or recommendation was not
carried out by the officials higher uo.
The cars, we understand, were actuall y
ordered but have never been deliv-
cred.
Mr.. Williams stated that a confer
ence will soon be held looking to max
ing changes in many of the Southern's
schedules to become effective on May
the 10th, and that he will use his iniiu-
ence to have the desired changes made
between Columbia and Augusta. Mr..
Williams received this complaint as to
present schedule in the proper spirit
and seemed disposed to do what he
could to hav the trouble remedied.

The foregoing shows that the writer
is not the only one who states that The
Advertiser is the oldest newspaper in
South Carolina. We would have made
no reference to this matter, but for
the fact that the truth of The Adver-
ser's claim has been called into ques-
tion.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1911-04-26
Proven by the Record.

Having an authentic record upon
which to stand, The Advertiser claims
to be the oldest newspaper in South
Carolina. 1t was founded in 1885 and
has been published without Interrupt
ton since that time under the same
name. If there is paper in the state
that can show by the record that 1t was
founded prior to 1885 and has been pub
lished since its founding under the same
name, then we will gracefully with
draw The Advertisers claim to this
distinction, acknowledging that we have
been in error. The Advertiser can pro-
duce the record. We have a copy OF
the paper that was published in March,
1887, No. 4, Volume2.
In October, 1908, we changed the
size OF The Advertiser from a four to
an eight page paper, printing facsim-
lie of the old copy of the paper in
that issue, and the editor of the Bam-
berg Herald was kind enough to make
the following comment in the next is
sue of his paper:
The Edgefeld Advertiser, al
ways a good newspaper, now
comes out as a sheet of eight
pages, with seven columns to
the page. We congratulate
Friend Minis upon his increased
advertising patronage, which
made the enlargement neces-
sary. The Advertiser is no
doubt the oldest newspaper in
South Carolina. -Bamberg Her
