In New Building.

After occupying temporary quar-
tiers for the &past three or four
months, the Farmers Bank is again
doing business at the same old stand
but now in a handsome, up-to-date
building. Practically no part of
the old building was left standing.
The imposing stone front, graced
by four stately columns is an earn
est of what the interior is.
The main room has marble and ma
hogany counters, marble wains-
coating, white walls and highly
embellished metal ceiling. Two
handsome private Offices have been
arranged in the rear of the building
with modern, fire-proof vault in
the basement beneath, arranged for
storing old books and records. The
entire building has been wired and
will be lighted by electricity as
soon as the plant is installed for the
town.
The Farmers Bank now has a
plant or bank building that is sur
passed by but few country banks in
the state, and in selecting the clas-
sical design for the front the Of
fcials have set new pace in Edge
field, architecturally speaking. Let
us hope that this magnificent struc-
ture will be an inspiration to those
who shall build hereafter.

Wedding Rings Slow Sale.

"A seashore summer would be

Poisoned by Noxious Gas.

Saturday afternoon Mr.. J. S.
Williams who resides in the Re
publican church section made a
blast with dynamite in a we'll that
he was digging. Monday morning
he went down to remove the rocks
and earth that had been torn up by
the dynamite. After one or two
buckets had been sent up, those who
operated the windlass above heard
heavy breathing in the we'll and
upon investigation found that Mr..
Williams had succumbed to nox-
ious gas resulting from the dyna-
mite explosion. At first it was diff
ficult to get some one to consent to
go down and rescue him. Finally
a negro boy volunteered his SER
vices. He was lowered to the bot
tom and placed rope around Mr..
Williams body, by which he was
removed. AS soon as be was
brought to the surface efforts were
Immediately made to restore him to
a normal condition. In the mean
time DR.. J. H. Carmichael was tele-
lphoned for and went at once to Mr..
Williams home. The latest re-
ports ale to the effect that Mr..
Williams is steadily improving and
will soon be fully restored. The
heroic little negro, who, if reports
be true, deserves the highest COM
mendation, also tainted as soon as
he was drawn from the well, but
soon recovered.
In using dynamite in wells, let
others profit by the hairbreadth es-
cape of Mr.. Williams.

Overcome With Guilt.

A negro, having won a dollar at
a crap game, decided to spend it on
having his fortune told, says the
Argonaut. The fortune teller led
him into a gloomy room, with dirty
hangings and misty red lights. She
took his palm, traced it with dol
lar, spread out her cards, and then
said.
"You are very fond of music;
you like chicken; you have won
money at craps and you have been
in Jail.
The negro looked at her with
bulged eyes and finally calculated.
"Mah goodness lady; why you
jest read nah inmost thoughts. "

STATES ATTORNEY.

There is no more important duty
which the people OF the County have
to discharge every four years, than
the selection and election Of States
Attorney; upon his knowledge of the
law, and efficiency in the prosecution
OF those who violate 1t, largely de-
pend the peace and good order Of So
ciety.
Life and property are in no small
degree in his keeping diligent, com
petent, and vigorous prosecuting at
torney can do much to make them Sc
cure.
Our candidate, Edward o. Weant,
measures up to these requirements
the opportunity to acquire a knowl-
edge Of the criminal law, and the
methods of procedure in the trial of
criminal cases, which four years ser
vice in the Office afforded him, was BY
no means neglected; as the Court
records Of his term abundantly show.
The competency for this Office,
which experience has given Mr..
Weant, should commend him to the
favorable consideration of ali who are

he is a lawyer by profession, and a

after all, the most important ones a

where they are onerous, and bear
heavily upon the taxpayer, and are
susceptible of amendment, where ad-
ditional sources of revenue, for State
and County, may be found, without
undu1y depressing any interest.

the will galvanize the party Of Pro-

stanch advocates OF a tariff for rev

THE DUTY oF DEMOCRATS.

There never has been an election
i'm this State when IL was more i'm
perative, than now, that the mem
bers OF the Democratic party should
stand together in solid phalanx, for
the success of the entire tickets,
state and county. The experience OF
the people or Maryland with the Re
publican administration OF Governor
Lowndes was by no means satisfac-
tory, although the Governor himself
was q very reputable man, but was
unable to control the situation in
which he was placed. So that realizing
this, at the first opportunity the peo-
pie of the state turned the Republican
party out OF power, and restored the
control OF our. state affairs to the
Democratic party, where it had been
for forty years. And they have not
been willing since to make another
experiment OF the same kind with
the Republican party, and if our
people stand together in this cleo
ton, as we feel sure they will, the
experiment will not De tried at this
time.
The Republicans can give no sub
stantial reason. because there lis NO
reason, why Maryland should be
turned over to them for the next
four years. It is true they are "out
and want to get in; they are hungry
for slice of the political pie, but
we think the people will show them,
at the coming election that they
don't want them to nave it. There
are solid reasons why the Democrat
ic party should remain In control OF
our State government, and we ap-
peal to all our Democratic friends to
stand UP to the party in this con-
test. Next year we shall have the
Presidential election upon us, and II
would be a misfortune, amounting to
disaster, IL for any reason We
should permit the State to be turned
over to the Republicans. That must
not be done. Let every Democrat
exert himself from now until the
polls close On the day Of election.
Thus we shall have glorious vic
tory.

WILSON BALLOT LAW.

Talk about fraud; where was there
ever a greater fraud perpetrated up
On a helpless people than the XVIII
Amendment, which clothed the Negro
with the ballot?
1t was pinned to our Constitution
with Federal bayonets.
Fraud upon the ballot in Baltimore
city is benevolent assimilation along
side of that; and done too by the Re-
publican party to preserve its as
cendancy id the nation; but when
number OF counties in the fairest
part OF Maryland resort to the Wilson
ballot for the preservation of white
supremacy, this same Republican
party sets I'D a howl that disgusts
every white man who is familiar with
/ the facts
Moreover, it Ii the concurrent testf-
mony OF the most reliable persons in
those Southern States where negro
suffrage has been restricted. that the
result has been quite as beneficial to
the negroes az to the whites. Di-
verted from politics, the temptation
to idleness and dissolute habits Of
life have, in a great measure, been
removed
Experience has shown that the
negro presumes upon divided
white electorate for protection, and
is encouraged in the commission of
crime.
To lessen crime, to render the
sanctity OF the home more secure, to
remove the incentive for association
upon equal terms of both races,
which leads to mixed marriages and
mixed schools, should receive the
commentator OF all who sympathize
with their white brethren in the Black
Belt" of Maryland.
This 1s too serious q question to
be disposed OF upon partisan political
grounds; as to how 1t will effect
this party or. that party. should not
be set of against the public good.
It is more a moral than political
question, and the proper disposition
OF it will elevate the negro, and save
the white man from degradation.
The Wilson ballot In itself - bad,
but the evils It Is intended to prevent
justifies its use.
