FOOTBALL.

The local Regular Football Team will
play its first game next Saturday after
noon, when it will clash with the strong
Mays Landing aggregation.
The local team is now under a steady
drill of signals at its nightly practice,
in preparation for the fray, and the in
dications are that it will give fair ac-
count of itself at the initial game.
The Mays Landing Team has played
two games this season, the first with
Atlantic City High and the second with
Millyille High, the score in the latter
game being 90. In Pleasantville's
combat with Mays Landing last year,
the result was also scoreless tie, and
the members of both teams are anxious
to make next Saturdays game deeis-
i've one.
Arrangements have been made with
the Baseball management for the Park
at corner Of Adams avenue and the New
Road, and the s'gridiron' is now being
put in good condition.
Admission to be charged is l5c for
grown-ups and Zoe for children, and it
is hoped there will be large roofing
body present to assist the towns repre-
sentative team in making success of
its scheduled games.

OF TRUST COMPANY.

At the meeting of the directors of the
Pleasantville Trust Company held last
Thursday evening, Mr.. Dorsey S. Lee
Compile, Of Easton, Maryland, was elect
ed treasurer. Many applications for the
position were received.
Mr. LeCompte is son Of Mr. Daniel

Born and raised at Cambridge, he re-
moved to Easton six years ago and en-

Enforce Vagrant Law.

The vagrant law should be enforced
for three reasons: First, every able
bodied Individual should be required to
earn livelihood by honest toll, in
stead of living by the sweat of some
ones else brow.
Second, the loafing class should be
made to work in order that the normal
demand for labor may be supplied. 1t
is necessary for the well being of socie-
ty and humanity that the farms be
titled and that work of public nature
be carried forward. If given com,
munity be populated with an indolent,
vagrant element, they by their pres,
ence keep out an Industrious class OF
people, causing the interest of the
community, both private and public, to
suffer. Migrants should be made to
work or be forced to leave the commu-
nifty, thereby giving place to persons
who possibly are seeking work.
Third, vagrants should not be tole-

Feeding Beef Cattle.

/ heartily agree with Senator
Tillman that if a farmer iI going to
feed cattle he should have a silo,
but 1 do not agree with him in buy
ing hulls at any price whatever,
when farmer can grow plenty Of
hay from peas, soy beans, or velvet
beans. Hulls are poor roughage at
best. Chemical analysis shows that
they have some feed value, but it
taxes the digestive functions of the
stock severely to get it out of them.
Cottonseed meal is all right when
fed in moderate amount with plenty
OF good roughage, and corn silage
with plenty of legume hay is worth
ten times as much as cottonseed
hulls, which in my opinion, are
worth more for bedding than for
feed. Then, if Western corn-fed
cattle bring more money than those
fed on exclusive and delusive cot
ton meal diet, why not have the
corn and feed it? Corn meal is a
long way safer feed than cottonseed
meal, and while cottonseed meal is
the best protein feed to be had in
the South, the idea that good beef
can be made from meal and hulls
alone is great mistake. I do not
wonder that such beef sells at a
lower price, for it is poor stuff to
eat, as l know from trial. With
plenty of corn silage and legume
hay one will only need to feed cot
tenseed meal in moderation and do
no damage to the meat. But a stock
farm in a tick-infested section is
badly handicapped. You can not
bring in good feeders from a clean
section, and you can not make much
in feeding the scrubs that have been
feeding ticks all their lives. The
greatest thing for the Southern
feeder is to get rid of ticks, and
with general warfare all along the
line, they can be cleaned out.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.

Step in the Right Direction. :

The Advertiser is pleased to see that
the Farmers Union is interested in
the matter of erecting large cotton
warehouse or chain OF warehouses in
South Carolina. This is move in the
right direction, one that, will ultimately
benefit the cotton growers. 1t is prob
ably too late to be practical benefit dur
ing the approaching marketing season,
but beginning must De made.
The mills have ample warehouses for
storing cotton when it can be purchased
at a price which is satisfactory to
them. This is good business, and no
one can reasonably condemn the man.
agement for it. In Ike manner, the
producers of the staple should be pro-
vided with adequate warehouses in
which to store cotton when the price is
too low for a profit to be realized.

Investigation Needed.

Something was .said sometime ago
about investigating the affairs of the
express companies doing business in
this state, looking to an equitable ad-
justment of rates, etc. 1t appears
that some companies have a monopoly
in certain parts of the country and
make rates that are unreasonably
high, the public having no redress ex-
cept through the railroad commission.
A short time ago The Advertiser re-
ceived from Philadelphia small
package of books weighing six or
eight pounds, valued at So, and the
express charge was 80 cents. Any fair
minded man will say that such a
charge was excessive. We do not
know whether the Southern Express
company or some company farther
north is responsible for fixing this rate.
Be that as it may, the amount had to
be paid before the package was deliver
ed.
In justice to the people and express
companies both, searching investiga-
ton should be made. If the rates are
exorbitant let them be lowered, and if
not too high let the public be shown
why it is necessary to make such enor-
nous charges in some instances.

Sharp Competition in Seed Market.

The indication at present is that cot
ton seed will not command as high
price as they did last season, the chief
reason being the low price of oil. The
price of oil was nearly hundred per
cent higher year ago than the pres
ent quotation. However, those who
sell seed at Edgefield can bank upon
receiving the top of the market. There
will be seven or eight buyers in the
market here and all of them will be
eager for seed. Judging from few
things we have heard, which we be-
lieve to be reliable information, there
is going to be some lively bidding on
cotton seed in Edgefeld this fall. Just
keep your eyes on this market.

This morning we have chilly
breeze which makes us feel like fall
is close at hand. Cotton is begin
ming to open real fast and fodder is
being pulled but the farmers of this
section will not harvest as much as
they expected on account of the ex-
treme drought this summer.
On last Thursday morning at 10
o'clock Mrs. Susan Brunson's fune-
eral took place at Antioch. Mrs.
Brunson was perhaps the Oldest
lady in the county at the time of
her death, having passed her s7th
year. A sweet old age is one of
the beautiful things of life and the
lovliness of Mrs. Brunson's charac-
ter bears testimony to the sweetness
and purity of her life. Rev. j. T.

to large concourse of friends and
relatives.

Death of Mrs. Brunson.

1t seems that within the past
few weeks those who are advanced
in years have been singled out as
those who have need to enter upon
eternal rest. Following closely up
on the death of Capt. James O.
Williams, the .Cleora section is
again bereaved. This time Mrs.
Susan Brunson was taken, having
breathed her last Tuesday afternoon,
the interment taking place Thurs
day morning at Antioch. She re-
sided with her son-in-law, Mr.. A. t..
Brunson, where she received every
attention possible that would con-
tribute to her comfort and happi-
ness. Mrs. Brunson had reached
her S7th year and owing to the in
f1mlties of age had withdrawn for
many years from active duties of
the community at large, but in ear
lier life she was the central figure
in the social and religious life of
the Cleora section. Before her mar
riage she was Miss Susan Lanier,
which has always been a large and
prominent family Of the western
side of the county.
Of her immediate family, Mrs.
Brunson leaves two grand-daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Susan B. Hill and Mrs.
Wade Cothran, and two great-grand
children.

Death Claims Mr.. M. N. Hol.
stein, Gallant Confederate
Veteran.

After an illness of a month Mr..
NJ. N. Holstein died at the home of
his daughter Thursday afternoon,
August 18th, having just passed his
soth birthday. Several weeks ago,
as has been announced, Mr.. Hol-
stein fell from the piazza of one of
the cottages at Glenn Springs,
fracturing one of his hips. He was
brought home and owing to his ex-
treme age but little hope was enter
tained for his recovery. His condi-
ton was made worse by an attack
of paralysis three weeks ago. He
was a great sufferer during his
brief illness but bore it with great
fortitude and patience. AS Mr.. Hol-
stein had never been confined to his
bed as much as a week in his en-
tire life the confinement in
his last illness was very trying to
him.
This good man was greatly bless
ed throughout his life of four score
years. Upon reaching manhood his
father gave him the large and very
valuable plantation near Monetta,
where he lived until the death of
Mrs. Holstein several years ago.
Their married life, one of unusual
happiness, lasted for nearly sixty
years. God blessed the home with
FIVE daughters and one son, all of
whom are living. There has never
been death in the stately Holstein
home on the Ridge. For many years
it was the centre of the social life
of the community and in the histor-
ic grove the first Secession rallies
were held.
Mr...Holstein has always been true to
Southern traditions and principles.
When the call to arms was made he
volunteered his services to the Con-
federate cause, being commissioned
by Cow Pickens, December 18th,
1861, as second lieutenant of Com
pany FL, 10th South Carolina regi-
ment. He served throughout the
four years making a splendid rec
ord.~
He united with the Baptist
Church in early life, being one of
the charter members of the Ridge
Spring church. After he came to
Edgefeld he became member of
the church here, and was always in
his place at the regular services. By
his gentle and amiable manner Mr..
Holstein made friends of everyone
whom he met. He always had a
kindly, encouraging word which
made one glad to be in his presence.
Mr.. Holstein is survived by five
daughters, Mrs. Kate Lynch, Mrs.
T. H. Hill, Mrs. A. S. Tompkins,
Mrs. NJ. A. Taylor, Miss Lena Hol-
stein, and one son, Mr.. J. D. Hol-
stein, Sr. The funeral was conduct
ed in the Baptist church Friday af-
ternoon by Rev. w. T. Hundley,
assisted by Rev. T. P. Burgess and
Rev. r. G. Shannonhouse.

that within the past few weeks there
has been an increased number of
lynchings, in most instances the VIC

record shows that such crimes are
usually committed by negroes of the
vagrant class. AS the midsummer is
