Last Sermon in Edgefield.

Rev. T. P. Burgess preached his
last sermon in Edgefeld Sunday
morning. The message was earnest
and tender, being prefaced by an
expression of gratitude to- the peo-
pie of Edgefeld for the many at
tentions shown him and his family
since coming to- this place. Mr..
Burgess stated that in leaving Edge
field he has yielded to the call from
another field and that he will al
ways feel kindly interest in the
people of this place. He and his
family will leave the last day in
August for their new home in
Yorkville. 1t is with very deep
regret that Edgefeld gives them up.

NO REASON FOR IT.

any reader OF. this will continue to

given that these ills can be cured.
Read what an Edgefeld citizen says:
T Gray, Edgefeld, S. c., says:
"a few monthsrago kidney trouble
came on me with torturing pains in
my back and in my sides. The pas
sages of the kidney secretions were
irregular and j felt so tired and
worn out it was only with great
effort that / was able to get around.
My back became lame and sore and
/ could hardly stoop or straighten.
Fortunately Doan's kidney pills
were being advertised at that time
and some one advised me to try
them. 1 did so, and the results were
very satisfactory. The contents Of
one box made me feel like differ
ent man, driving away my pains
and aches and improving my health.

the interests of the cotton growers.
When fine ofieials in Washington do
not 'toe thsmark" he is going to be
heard from. 1t being generally be-
-l5s'ES.d that the last government report
upon the condition of cotton, estimat-
ing the yield at 14.5OO, 600 bales, was
incorrectly compiled, Senator Smith in
troduced resolution calling upon Sec
retary Wilson to make another cotton
report at once. 1t is worth much to
the cotton growers to have such an
able and fearless 'Nampion in Wash

As practically all of the ginneries in
the county have improved and enlarged
their plants farmers will be tempted to
take their cotton from the field to the
gin, thence to market. If the "bears"
succeed in depressing the price, this
system of marketing will be mistake
on the part of the farmers. Indeed
such a policy adopted generally over
the cotton belt will make it easily pos.
sible for spectators to hammer down
the price. Farmers, don't put club
in the hands of spectators.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1911-08-23

It's said that the marketing of the
''first bales" over the cotton belt is
causing money to be sent from the city
banks to the interior to move the cot
ton crop. We believe the time has
come when southern banks can supply
all of the funds necessary at this sea-
son. Not many years ago ''Wall
Street" controlled the situation. Has
ten the day when the south will be en-
tirely independent of the Northern
money centers.

There was much interest at the
Capitol yesterday over the announce
ment in yesterdays Times Dispatch
that the Supreme Court OF the United
States had refused the petition of At
torney General Williams to advance
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac franchise tax case on its docket.
This action means that the case must
come up in Its regular order, and that
some time must elapse before it is
heard.
The State secured decree from the
Supreme Court OF Virginia, on an APP
peal from the Circuit Court OF Rich
mond. which had held that this rail-
road was exempt from all taxation,
under its charter. in its appeal, the
state contended that the road had ac-
cepted amendments which annulled
its exemption. and this view was con-
iirmed by the highest State court An
appeal was taken to the road on u
constitutional point. The determine
ton of the suit favorably to the state
would mean probably Il quarter of Il
million dollars in arrearage of taxes,
after all the points had beenfought out
in the courts.

Thompson and Superintendent of the

son wanted TO show photographs OF
faulty installations on the municipal
plant distribution system. Mr. Traf-
ford called the turn by reporting the
crossing of fire alarm wires at Moselle
and Leigh Streets. Asserting dramati-
cally that such crossing should have
been reported instantly, since lives
and property were thereby endangered,
Mr.. Thompson halted the proceedings
TO dispatch Lineman Stringer to make
immediate repairs.
