QUEEN LEAVES
 SPANISH COURT VicToSlA DECIDES TO RETURN TO HER FORMER HOME IN
 ENGLAND. AlFONS0'S MANY AMOURS King Is Warned by Advisers That His Gay Escapades May Cost Him His Throne-Gave De Lys
 to Manuel.
ALFONS0'S MANY AMOURS

Madrid, via Hendaye, France, Jan. 2S.-Grown tired at last of the open ness of King Alfonsos neglect of her and of the attentions that he is show ering on the favorite demi-mondaine of Paris, Queen Victoria has decided to return to her home in England for an indefinite stay.
 From confidential court circles, it is learned that the queens forthcoming visit virtually will amount to a royal separation, as she has declared that she no longer can tolerate the insults of the king, whose treatment of her is now an open book throughout Spain.
 There Is long list of Alfonso's fem inipe charmers, past and present, and in the number is Gaby Des Lys, one of the chief contributing causes of King Manuel's loss of his thrQhe. It develops that Alfonso was frs enam- ored of the sair Gaby and that after he tired of her he turned her over to the youthful Portuguese monarch.
 Gay Times In Paris.
 Alfonso's frequent incognito trips to Paris, knowledge of which the cabinet tried hard to suppress by official an nouncements that the king was spend ing a few days in the retirement of his home, it now transpires, have been nothing more than fragrant escapades in the gay life of the French capital. On one of these trips Alfonso re- mained in Paris for nearly three months.
 During this prolonged visit in Paris Alfonsos movements were such that the Paris police were driven nearly frantic in their efforts to guard him and keep his identity unknown.
 English detectives had similar eX- perience on Alfonso's last visit to England, when he spent much of his time in the company of actresses. His attentions at this time to Lily Elsie were so fragrant that a royal scandal was narrowly averted.
 Was Not a Love Match.
 All the stories about the marriage of Alfonso and Victoria in May, 1906,  have been disproved long since. In their place is the hard cold fact that the marriage, like most of the other royal unions of Europe, was arranged purely for political purposes
 The kings Spanish advisers are making a desperate effort to patch up the present trouble. They have told the king plainly that his neglect Of his kingdom for the gaities of Paris Is greatly increasing the danger Of revo- lution, and in the event of royal sep aratien, Spain would lose her most valuable asset, the friendship of Eng land. Alfonso has given no heed to the warnings.
 The king and queen have three chil- dren, Prince Alfonso, Prince Jaime and Princess Beatrice. Alfonso, the crown prince, is reported to be of un- sound mind.

Won Pearl of Great Price.

Mr.. S. D. Mays and Miss Pearl
QUITS surprised their friends by
quietly going to the home of Rev.
P. B. Lanham last Friday after
noon and plighting their troths,
telling no one of their plans in ad-
vance. While the friends of Mr..
Mays and Miss QUITS were practi-
cally certain that they had some
plans" they did not expect them
to be consummated SO soon. How
ever, it is well. They are both to be
congratulated.
Mr.. Mays is an Industrious young
man of high character and excellent
habits, the eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John NJ. Mays. Miss QUITS, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. M.
QUITS of Kirksey, is a young woman
of attractive personality and unusual
charm of manner, and, withal, is
sensible and practical-just the
kind of a young woman to make
a happy home.
Edgefeld reluctantly gave Mr..
QUITS and his family to Green
wood county some years ago, and
now rejoices that she can again
claim the Pearl of home.
The Advertiser offers sincere ccn-
gratulations to Mr.. and Mrs. Mays,

Let All Importune Neptune.

There will be sixteen Edgefeld-
ians in the merry New York party
that will sail from Charleston next
Sunday morning, and the chances
are 16 to l that all of them will
succumb to NAL de mer by noon,
falling in heap on deck or in
steamer-chair, as sick as the little
shaver when he takes his first
"chaw'' of tobacco. Who knows but
that by taking a few generous guilds
of tobacco one could overcome that
unsettled condition before shifting
the salt water? Some, however, who
have already provided pills and
powders galore, hope to be rendered
immune to sea sickness. To be on
the safe side, let all importune Nep-
tune, the god of the sea, to give US
smooth water and-a bon 0oyage.

LAW ENFORCEMENT.
DR.. Bell Makes Strong Appeal
to Citizels and Officers to
EnforceAll Law. Will
ing T Help Fight.

Editor of TIE Advertiser: The
Edgefeld Chrnicle of last week.
after various Inquiries relative to
the blind tiger, expresses the opin-
ion, if certain nports be true, that
there is more liquor seing used in
this county now, than ever before.
Of course, I do net belize this, and
think, that the wish issather to
the thought" with many ati.pro-
hibitionists, but in the name # God.
how could any patriotic mai who
values his home, to say noting of
his state and county, rejoice 1.-THE
multiplication of illegal placesor
the selling of liquor, though ,e
thing may be working as he pl
dicted it would.
Why is it, that these blind antil
could not rejoice in every legal en-
action to restrict the sale of the ac-
cursed stuff?
If these things are true, and blind
tigers exist, who is to blame for it?
I say, the prohibitionists them
selves. We have eight magistrates
and as many constables, the sheriff
and his deputies whose duty it is by
law to seize, confscate, and put on
the changing any man engaged in
this illegal business, and if blind
tigers are SO common, and no liquor
being seized, and criminals put on
the gang in this county, the officers
are not doing their duty. Gov.
Blease has published a notice, that
these officers must enforce the pro-
hibitive features of the dispensary
law, and in case of failure he would
take off the said officials head, and
put some one in his place who
would. Are our la&.abiding citizens,
to say nothing of prohibitionists too
cowardly to report the failure of
the proper officers to enforce the
law? If SO, they deserve to be run
over by the blind tigers and law
breakers of his type. Where blind
tigers exist, in my opinion, it is the
fault of her law-abiding citizens in
not seeing to it, that the law is en-
forced.
The idea, that any community
sa1f; + 0Upe IL. II Il little Internal
blind tiger, who has to slip and
slide in the dark to carry on his
nefarious business is preposterous, 4
IS we'll as humiliating. If this be
true, better abandon law altogether,
and turn the commonwealth over to
the outlaw. So far as I am concern
ed, I am going to exert every nerve
in me towards the enforcement
all law, and am not willing to adj
nit that our people are going to
.urn the state over to the outlaw.

MISSIONARY JOURNEY.
In Company With VIM. L. Smith
D. D., S. J. Porter, D. D.
and Others. Glimpse at
our Mission Fields.
By REV. T. H. GARRETT.
Mexico. I

Crossing the Rio Grande river at
Elpaso, Texas, let us look in on
Mexico. About 100000 people
live in Mexico, one-fourth of whom
are Indians, or pure Mexicans, rep,
resenting the tribes found here by
Cortez. The other three-fourths
are a mixed race. Among the for
eigners are found French, Germans,
English and Americans, the latter
predominating.
= Roman Catholicism was brought
into this country by the Spaniards
at the time of the conquest and is
still the religion of the majority of
the people. Naturally, the customs,
civil and social, have been nodded
by the religion of the people-the
priest and the church being the cen
ter of everything. The Lords day
is holiday instead of holy day, a
day of revelry, of bull fights, the
aires and army maneuyers. State
and federal elections are held on
Sunday.
Rev. James Hickery was the first
to begin mission work on the north
ern frontier, and the first Baptist
church of Monterey, which was or
ganized by him, is the Oldest church
in the republic. Southern Baptists
began mission work in Mexico in
1886, and now have 50 churches,
which reported 500 baptisms dur
ing the past year, making total
membership of 2,o63. There are
So Sunday schools with 1906 schol-
ars. There are 33 missionaries and
forty native helpers. In South Mex
leo, there are two medical mission
aries, who treated 2,o47 patients
during the year. AS result of the
work large numbers of the Mexicans
have become Christians; many boys
aud girls have been taught in the
schools, and the work has been car
ried from the Texas border to the
Pacific ocean.

Cote of the Y. M. G. A. of France
was chosen first missionary. With
him were associated three Italian
evangelists to assist in the work.
The first church was organized in
Rome in February 1881, with eight
members, all of whom were bap-
tized, and before the year closed
twelve others added. DIR. John A.
Broadus was present at it's organi-
zation and was delighted with Italy
as a mission field. There are now
25 churches, 96 out-stations, six
missionaries, 40 native workers,
l,ol7 members, 947 Sunday schools,
a theological school with five pro-
fessors and two religious papers,
one of which has the largest circu-
lation of any evangelical journal in
Italy.
This good year of our Lord, 1911,
finds the missionaries of the Cross
in every country under the SUN ex-
cept Thibet, and native workers
have crossed the borders and are
carrying the gospel into the last Of
the hermit nations. Not only so,
but these messengers of life are pen
etrating every nook and corner of
the heather lands. Still, we have
made only good beginning and a
vast unfinished task lies before US.
In round numbers there are not less
than 1900, 100000 people who need
the gospel. 1t is estimated that
500, 100000 have never had chance
to hear the glad tidings. The lat
est statistics show that the various
protestant missionary societies have
on the field 1884 missionaries and
9s,272 native helpers, making a tot
al force of 115, l3O workers. There
were added to the mission churches
last year (l9os) 1876, ,14l souls, max,
ing total of s,Os7,9es. The in.
come of all the societies was $24,.
e1s,o75. There l,413,995 students
in the mission schools and the ma.
tive adherents, those who are more
or less influenced by the churches,
are estimated at five millions.
Christian people have doubled
their contributions to foreign mis-
sions the last fifteen years, and tht
forces and results also have doubled
during those years. 1t took nearly
all of the 10th century to reach the
point where we could report mil
lion converts. The first ten year
of the goth century have added
another million. At the recen
rate of increase we will soon b.
able to report a million converts
year.

Interesting Article on Home
Canreries From the Char
lotte Observer.

AS the season is almost here fol
canning fruits and vegetables, and
having heard several persons say
they purpose purchasing home can
neries, we publish the following
from the Charlotte Observer:
Mr.. E. L. Flowers of Hickory
was in the city a few days since on
business. He is the inventor of a
home canning outfit which he manu-
lfactnres. at Hickory. Helsays he
sells his outfit in every state in the
union. He thinks that better outfits.
can be bought here in North Caro-
lima than anywhere else.
He makes eight sizes of Gamer
outfits. The smallest will put up
25o cans day. The largest he
makes and carries in stock will do
5000 cans a day.
His "5O-can capacity costs about
$3.50.
His s,oOo-can capacity costs
about $50.
For the benefit of city people who
have no wood to burn, Mr.. Flow
ers says he has designed a gas and a
gasoline stove to do the heating.
He makes special canning outfits
that will do 10000 cans per day.
The cost of these outfits is Slo0-
Mr.. Flowers says that this outfit
will do as much work and as good
work as some of the canning fac
tories that are built for from four
to six thousand dollars. He says
that his outfits need no house, but
the smaller ones can be worked in
the kitchen and the larger ones in
the yard in the open air under a
tree or in the field where the yege-
tables are grown.
DO your customers have any
trouble getting fruits and vegeta-
bles to CAM" asked the reporter.
mot for home canning outfit"
answered Mr.. Flowers.
I'VE make an outfit to can the
home product that would be wasted
if it wasn't canned. Of course
neighbors bring in both fruits and
vegetables and sometimes they join
together to put up neighborhood
cannery. These neighborhood can
neries sometimes do the canning for
the neighborhood on cash basis or
they will buy the fruits for cash."
Can your customers find mar
kets outside of what they use them
selyes2"
In many cases they can sell in
home towns. There is magic in the
name home made. Once get COM
munity to using home-canned goods
and the factory product is finished.
After sell an outfit, l help the
customer to get markets. All l have
to do is to show them how to pro-
eeed. 1 think there must be some
thing like 20 canning outfits in Ca
tawba county and many of them
sell out their entire stock by Octo-
ber l of the current year"
There are three factors in sue
cess-quantity, quality and cleanli-
ness. .Whoever looks after these
three factors will succeed"
Mr.. Flowers outfits seem to be
about the same as those made al
Chapel Hill by the Raney Gamer
Company and by Mr.. N. E. Parliel
at Ronda.

America Is a country larger tnah
the United States, called Brazil. Its
chief products are coff,e, sugar, rub
ber, nuts, spices, with a great varie-
ty of tropical fruits. 1t also abounds
in gold, silver, iron, coal and pre-
cious stones. Brazil has popula-
ton of about twenty millions. They
speak the Portuguese language.
The religion of Brazil is Roman
Catholic and pagan; and in many
respects the religious condition of
the people is worse than in heather
countries. In 1881 Mr.. and Mrs.
w. B. Bagby Of Texas arrived in
Br ii, as the first missionaries sent
out - Southern Baptists. There
are now I16 churches. which re-
ported last year l,474 baptisms,
with a total membership of 5000.
These native churches, with the
missionaries, contributed last year
s42,6ss toward the support of the
work. ''The Brazilian is not one of
the loayes and fishes kind. He be-
lieyes in self-sacrifce.' The work
in Brazil has been very successful.
Many converts are baptized every
wear; a number of the churches are
s.lf-supporting and have their own
native pastors; Brazilian Baptist
publication society has been estab-
lished, which sends out a great deal
of religious literature in the Portu-
guese language, and publishes a re-
Iigious paper for the churches and
in every way the work is well Or
ganized and progressive.
Argentina.
Argentina is in the Southern part
of South America. 1t is about as
large as al. that part of the United
States east of the Mississippi river,
and has population of about SIX
millions. Baptists began mission
work in Argentina in 1908, and
now have sixteen missionaries and
nine native helpers on this promis-
ing field. The first mission was
opened in Buenos Ayres, the capital
city. which has a population of l.
100000. Our prayer should be
all of America from Alaska to Cape
Horn NAV be won for Christ our
Savior.
China is just across the Pacific
ocean from our country in the east,
ern part of Asia, and has popula
tion in round numbers of 435,O0o,,
ooo-nearly six times as many as
