THINK RIVER VICTIM WAS
FORMER VERONA MAN,

What is believed to be the body OF
David Hook, a former resident IT
Verona, was found In the East river
at the foot of Thirty-sixth street, New
York, Saturday night. The police are
of the opinion that the body had been
in the water for more than two months.
In the pockets of the mans coat was
found a form of a contract drawn
March 10, 1894, whereby it is shown
that Hook was negotiating to purchase
property in Verona from Andrew l.,
P%arkhurst through Morris B. Lindsey,
a real estate man of Caldwell.
Hook moved away from Verona two
years ago. He had been employed As
a driver for the Slayback-Van order
Coal Company there, and previous 10
moving had negotiated for the pur-
chase of land from Mr.. P~arkhurst
through the Lindsey real estate
agency.

No Paper Next Week.

Like most weekly newspapers, for
number of years it has been The Ad-
vertiser's custom to omit the issue OF
Christmas week, so as to give those
who work on the paper short respite
from the weekly grind. Many of our
readers will be so thoroughly occupied
with turkey and cranberry sauce and
fruit cake and ambrosia and aqua pura
(nothing stronger, we hope) that
doubtless they will not miss the
absence of The Advertisers visit next
week anyway. We shall endeavor to
offset this delinquency of one week
with bigger, better and brighter
paper throughout the 81 issues of the
new year.

py New Year for each one of The Ad-

School Elections Ordered.

Antioch and Ropers school districts
have ordered elections to vote upon the
question of making special levy for
school purposes. 1t is hoped that both
of these districts will join those that
have already taken this forward step
in the matter of providing for longer
term schools. So small levy as two
mills should not be regarded as such q
Dugaboo. The amount that even the
largest property owners will pay is
We ry small, but these small amounts in
the aggregate will have very telling
effect in the matter of improving the
public chools of the community.
Let this be borne constantly in mind,
that we can not have better schools
without first providing more money,
and that the least burdensome and
most equitable way of raising the need
ed money is through taxation,
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1911-12-20
Conditions Improved.

1t is doubtless true that the express
receipts at Edgefeld will be heavier
than usual for the next few days, but
but the small quantity of Ii
quor consumed now is not to be
compared to the car loads that were
shipped in by the dispensary. For a
week preceding Christmas the dispen-
sary sales were always very large, and
on Christmas eve the congestion was
so great that the door would have to
be closed at times so the crowd could
be managed.
In proportion as the consumption of
liquor has been reduced conditions have
been improved. Much money that would
be spent for liquor during the approach
ing holiday season, were dispensary
here, will be spent for household COM
forts and necessities. Is it not better
to take a package of groceries, fruits,
confectioneries or dry goods into the
home than bottle or Jug? Which con-
tributes most to the happiness of the
loved ones in the home?

NOTICE OF ELECTION.

Whereas there has been filed with

and like proportion of the resident
free-holders of the age of 81 years

Practice Economy.

In planning for 1912 one word should
be kept constantly in mind, and that is
ECONOMY. If another rvery large crop
OF cotton is made next year, which is
entirely within the range of possibili-
ties, the staple will likely drop to five
cents. Under such conditions, unless
the most rigid economy has been prac-
ticed, the cry of "hard times" will
again be abroad in the land. Even with
an average crop produced next year,
considering the large quantity of raw
material that will be carried over from
this bumper crop, the price of cotton
will likely be low next fall.
The Advertiser is neither pessi-
mist nor an alarmist but it is we'll some
times to hold up to public gaze condi-
tions as they actually are in order that
pitfalls end financial ruin may be
averted.
Let the corner stone and cap stone of
your plans for 1912 be ECONOMY.

May Devolve Upon Legislature.

The press and the pulpit of Charles
ton have cried aloud against the races
but their appeals and entreaties avail
nothing. Something like 400 racers are
stabbed outside the city limits waiting
for the track to be made ready early in
January. Should the supreme court fail
to enjoin the gamblers and race promo
ters, we feel confident that when the
legislature meets in January the issue
will be squarely met.
When definite stand must be taken,
we do not believe that South Carolina s
lawmakers will do less than those ofF'lo-
rida, New York and other states in
matter Of this kind.

Deserve Highest commendation.

There was time, and not many
years ago either, when considerable
prejudice existed against the Salvation
Army. When the work was new and
the methods employed were somewhat
out of the ordinary, the pioneers in
this particular field were grossly mis-
understood and, consequently, misjudg-
ed. However, practically oil of the pre-
judice has been dissipated and most
people, certainly all who are informed
as to the real work that the Army is
doing, have a kindly word for these
selfsacrihcing men and women. Almost
without money and without price they
do what may be properly termed the
drudgery of Christian work in the
cities.
After readingin the daily papers of
the plans that are being made by the
Salvation Army in many of the large
cities for providing Christmas dinner
for hundreds and thousands of INDECENT
people, many of them being outcasts to
whom Santa Claus never comes, one is
compelled to say, mentally, at least,
Amen to what is being done.
Whenever an opportunity arises do
not fail to commend the men and wo-
men who compose the Salvation Army.
They deserve all you can say and
more.

Will Have Wholesome Effect.

The refusal of Associate Justice Ga
ry to grant the application of Mr..
James G. Seigler of Aiken for bail will
have wholesome effect. 1t will be re-
membered that Seigler shot Policeman
Patterson while the officer was at
tempting to arrest him. 1t appeared
from the newspaper reports at the
time, and as the refusal to grant bail also
implies, that there is nothing to offer
in extenuation for the crime. If exam
pies are not made of such cases for the
we'll being Of society, the court houses
and jails had as well be torn down anc
the courts Of justice abolished.

World, all immigrants that come to
