MIR. Glover to Leave Edgefield.

The friends of Mr.. A. A. Glover
will learn with regret that he has
decided to leave Edgefeld and To-
cate permanently at North, S. G..
He has made application to the post
Office department to be transferred
to the position that Mrs. Glover has
filled as R. F. d. carrier for the
past eight years. Mrs. Glover has
sent in her resignation to become
effective the 18th day of May and
Mr.. Glover hopes to be transferred
by the first of June. The post office
makes such transfers when the post
masters of both Offices endorse the
application. Mr.. Glover has already
secured the endorsement of the post
masters at North and at Edgefeld.
Capt. Brunson gave him recon-
mendation that was highly compli-
mentary. The patrons of route three
will give Mr.. Glover up with reluc-
lance as he is looked upon as one OF
the most efficient carriers in the
county.

DR.. D. N. Barrow Writes, Timely
Article on Side Application
of Fertilizer. =
EdgeGeld, S. G.

The farmers of this State have
bought from Is to 20 per cent more
fertilizer than they used last year
and the bill is still growing.
The most common question to-
day among the farmers is, How
about side dressing'?" Many, not
content with placing large quanti-
ties in the ground at the time of
planting, are following this up with
side dressings sometimes with eve
Try cultivation. Nor are they
particular as to what they use
as side dressing. AS often as net
this is 3 complete fertilizer, many
times combination of nitrogen
and potash, and, Of course, nearly
always nitrogen.
/ j have nothing to say against the
use of nitrogen in the form of nj
trogen nitrate of soda or
some other easily soluble form,
when used at the right time. But
it does seem unwise, to say the
least, to go to the trouble and ex-
pense of making side applications
Of both potash and phosphoric acid.
When we remember that these two
substances are rarely if ever leach
ed from the soil and that both, even
in so-called soluble form, re-
quires some little time to become
available to the plant, it does look
useless to go to this extra expense.
I think there are very few who fol
low this practice who can show
any material gain from side applica-
tions of either of these substances.
When used in connection with nj
trate of soda, of course, the mixture
shows gain. But would not there
have been equally as large a gain
had the nitrate of soda alone been
used? This 1 very much suspect.
Personally 1 have never seen any
evidence of gain frow making side
application of either the phosphorus
or potash, and 1 am convinced that
many, a dollar is wasted by this
practice. On the other hand there
is no question of the economy of
side applications of easily soluble
nitrates in the form of nitrate of
soda. The most approved times
for this application, in quantities of
from rs to 100 pounds per acre;
for corn, about the time it punches
to tassel; for cotton, about first
blooms; and for grain (winter),
from February 18th to March LIST.
Such applications will be found
especially valuable if the crop is
backward from any cause. But it
is much surer and at the same time
cheaper to apply all of the phos-
phoric acid and potash at the time
of planting. In fact, there is some
danger of failure to derive any ben
eft from either of these if their ap-
plication is delayed until after the
plant is we'll started.

Primary, System of Selecting
Public Officials Condemned.

Editor The Advertiser:
Where in the name of God are
we at and whittier are we drifting?
How long before the people will
wake up and come to their senses?
Shall we suffer our once grand and
proud old state to. be ruled by a
demagogue who applies to civil
government the terms of conquer,
ing army?-"To the victor belongs
the spoils." I thought that the OBJ.
ject of the primary election was and
is looked upon as only a nomina,
tion and that the successful candi,
date was afterward elected by all
the people of the Democratic party,
and the nominee takes an oath to SO
consider it and do his duty by all
without fear or favor.
But we have a man now occupy
ing the highest Office within the
gift of the people defying and disre'
garding all law, honor, justice and
decency. AS a consequence of this
primary evil, this and numerous
other instances in Offices lower
down should be sufficient to show
us the rottenness of the primary
system of nominating. Send US
back to the convention plan where
by it is almost impossible for a
man of unfavorable stripe or char
acte- toget the nomination, as each
township chooses as delegates their
best men to send to the county con-
vention, and they in turn select the
best to send to the state convention.
A majority of these men so sent are
bound to be above being bribed and
corrupted by whiskey or money, as
is done in the primary.
There is no excuse for the pri-
mary. The negro is out of politics
forever in South Carolina and
one election is enough. Let
the Office seek the man and not the
man the Office, and you have the
secret of safe, sound, sensible and
good Christian government. This
will come nearer giving us a gov
ernment by the people and for the
people than any of the methods that
are so loudly proclaimed by those
politicians whose chief assets as a
candidate for Office are cheek, nerve
chicanery and long tongue.
What we need is men in Office
whose sense of honor and duty will
not allow them to disregard their
oath and obligation to the whole
people of the state regardless of
their station in politics. To pro-
tect them in the right and see that
proper punishment is meted out to
those who do wrong. We cannot
get this kind of men in Office under
the primary system as they are not
of the kind who will stoop to do,
or allow others to do for them, the

CITY POLITICS BEGIN TO GET TORRID

Things politically have warmed
up considerably during the last few
days, and if before no one, appar-
emily, knew or cared that there was
to he a city election next Tuesday,
almost everybody now is aware of
that fact.
The independent candidates,
through their committee, got real
busy this week and have issued and
mailed circulars accusing the citi-
zens ticket of about all the crimes
on the calendar. Said citizens
party comes right back with threats
to enjoin the city clerk from having
the names of the independent can
didates printed on the ballot. They
say that the independents were de-
feated at the primary and it will be
an infraction of the election.laws to
place their names on the official
ballot.
To the average voter the attacks
on the citizens candidates must

seem rather foolish, inasmuch as
even were there any truth in the
accusations, the balance of power
in the new council will be the same
as in the old, and the new men,
bers will be powerless to change the
administrations policies, even were
they so disposed. The citizens
ticket was overwhelmingly nomina-
ted at the primary, and its candi-
dates are not worrying but what
next Tuesdays election will show
practically the same returns.
Following are the tickets:
Citizens-Mayor, S. M. Lock-
erby; Councilmen, G.. CARRIER, I.

C. L. Holcomb; Treasurer, J. l..

SALES GALORE

Saturday will be bargain day in
earnest in Kennewick, each of the
big stores in town putting on a big
sale, one on each of the four main
corners of the town. Up the street
at Kings there will be a big auction
sale of all their dry goods. Coming
down the street, Stewart & Reser
have a monster planned to reduce
their stock to make room for more.
Tull, on the next corner has put
many things at cost. Lynch, to
keep in line. on the next block be-
low, has a big sale, and many of the
other places, are putting cut prices
on their stocks, to keep the big ones
from 'hogging' it all.

MISS GR|FFETn BRIDE |
Of ALTON P. RUSSELL
Simple Home Ceremony Unites Pop
ular Young People-Will Reside
on Highlands

On Wednesday last, at the home
of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. E. Griffeth, occurred the marriage
of their daughter Bernice, to Alton
P. Russell, of the Highlands. The
service took place at 10 O'Clock and
Rev. w. P. Osgood, pastor of the
Baptist church, was the officiating
clergyman who tied .he nuptial
knot. The wedding was a quiet
one, witnessed only by the immedi-
ate relatives of the bride and a few
intimate friends. The out of town
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Gerald
Griffeth, of Butte, Montana, brother
and sister-in-law of the bride. There
were no attendants and the bride
was attired in a travelling suit OF
dark blue. Simplicity character
lied the occasion and it was one OF
quiet joy and thanksgiving as is
befitting this happy season.
Miss Griffeth came to Kennewick
as high school girl, completing
her course here and graduating
with the class of 1909. The next
year she spent at the Washington
State College. She has been active
in the social and religions work of
the Baptist Church and during the
several years of her residence in
Kennewick, has been known and
loved by our young people as girl
of quality. She is an esteemed
member of the n. l. l.. E. Club.
The groom is one of the substap-
tial men on the Highlands and is
making a success out of his orchard
tracts, purchased last year. He is
a man of the right sort and is hon.
ored by large circle of friends and
acquaintance. He has prepared a
comfortable little home for his bride
and they will be at home to their
friends in a couple of weeks.
After a dainty wedding breakfast
the bride and groom were escorted
to the depot by the guests amid a
shower of rice and good wishes.
They left on No. 5 for Tacoma
where they were entertained at the
home of the BRIDES uncle and aunt -,
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson, and were
present at the wedding of her cous-
in, Miss Inez johnson, ON Friday
Miss Johnson is now the wife Of
DR.. Glazier. a prominent physician
of that city. Mr., and Mrs. Russell
will spend a week visiting the
coast cities and the remainder o1
their honeymoon will be spent in
their Highland home.

why NOT?

There seems to be a disposition
on the part of some of the married
couples of the city to stay away
from the Commercial Club dances
since the organization of the married
peoples dancing club. Why not let
every body in the city confne their
dancing to the hops given by the
Club? The band boys are furnish
ing music at these affairs absolutely
without remuneration in order to
provide funds to purchase band and
other Commercial Club equipment,
80 surely they should have the un-
divided patronage Of everyone who
enjoys dancing.
