District Attornership.

There are number of applicants for
the position of District Attorneyship
of South Carolina, but among them
there is not one who is better qualified
for the place than Hon. j. VIM. Thur
mond. By nature, training and through
practical experience he is eminently
fitted for this important office. Every
thing possible will be brought to bear
by Mr.. Thurmond's friends upon Presi-
dent Wilson, urging his appointment.
Not only would this be an honor to
Mr.. Thurmond but his appointment
would likewise be distinct honor to
Edgefeld county. Mr.. Thurmond has
never failed to make good in every po-
sition he has filled. and we are conf
dent that he would make as able, faith
full and fearless District Attorney as
this state has ever had.

When to Breed Mares.

What is the best time to breed
my mares? l want them to earn
something besides doing farm
work.
The best time to breed your mares
is at time to have the colts come
W hen the mares are doing least
work. If the mares do most work
from April to September, then we
would have the colts come in Feb
ruary or November. The fall sea-
son, October or November, is prob
ably the best time, if the mares are
well cared for. The colts are then
weaned at time when good pas
lures are available, and if fed lit
tie oats during the first summer and
fed we'll during the following win
ter, they are practically raised. If,
on the other hand, they come in the
fall, and the mares are not well fed
and cared for, it would be better if
they were dropped after the rush of
spring work in July and August;

Record Breaking Yields.

According to figures justissued from
Washing ton, the yield of corn for the
present year will be the largest on rec
ord by more than half billion bushels.
The average yield 'per acre for the
country at large has been placed at
1913 against 23.9 last year. The price
is lower than last year, and let US hope
that it will be lower still next spring.
On account of the very unfavorable
conditions, scores of farmers in this
county will have to buy corn next year
who never boughta bushel before since
they have been farming. On account
of the men who will have it to buy,
The Advertiser rejoices that the sup
ply is greater than it has ever been in
this country.

Leading Cotton Market.

Many years agoit was the policy OF
the managers of the local cotton mill
10 buy their raw material away from
Edgefeld and pay the freight on it.
Now, be it said to their credit, the
managers buy their raw cotton from
the wagons on the pubic square. The
consumption of something like 2,0Ot
bales right here in Edgefeld by the
Beaver Dam mills helps this market.

ing, so bring g load Of cotton II

ding. is. Throughout the entire ia

son markets in South Carolina.

Survivors of aWallace House."

The managers of the county fair in
Barnwell have arranged for reunion
OF the survivors of the famous oval
lace House" as feature for Thursday
of this week. Gov. John c. Sheppard
has been invited to address these men
whose names are written high on the
pages Of South Cardinals history. The
holding of such a reunion was happy
conception, and fairs in other counties
can in the future very profitably set

A Real Statesman.

When the news reached Governor
Wilson at his home on the night of the
election that he was elected his first
comment was "the cause has triumph

but of the cause he represented on be-
half of the people. -Orangeburg Times

BY his every public utterance Gov.

Farmers Should Cooperate.

While the editor of The Advertiser
was in conversation yesterday with a
representative farmer, the latter de-
plored the fact that the farmers of the
county have not in the past given more
loyal support to the managers of the
fair association. This thoughtful citi-
zen stated that farmers seem to lose
sight of the fact that it is primarily an
agricultural fair and that the agricul-
tural interests of the county receive
the greatest stimulus and benefit.
A few men, some of them residents
of this vicinity, have endeavored to
create the impression thatit is a money
making scheme for the promoters of
the fair. These few individuals are
piqued because they were not put at
the head of the enterprise at first and
allowed to run it according to their
own selfish wills. As to the so-called
money making scheme, those who
know anything at all about the finances
of The association know that few
m en-, among them being j. R. Cante-
lou, DR.. j. G. Tompkins, B. B. Jones,
R. S. Anderson and two or three 9TH
ers, have not only given their time to
the fair without compensation but
have personally incurred large flnan-
cial lab ility in providing the necessary
equipment and paying the expenses OF
running the fairs that have been held.
This statement is made in order to
prove that the enterprise is not, nor
has it ever been, regarded as money
making scheme by the stockholders
and managers.
So far as we are informed it is the
purpose of the members to put every
dollar that is realized above expenses
into improving and enlarging the plant
instead of paying salaries and divi-
dends on the capital invested. How
then in the name of reason can anyone
truthfully say that it. was designed,
and is being conducted, as money
making business for few individuals?
The fair this week promises to be
the best yet held. Come forward far
mers of Edgefeld county, and If you
have been unable to make exhibits,
show your interest and sympathy by
your presence. Give the managers your
moral support and thereby encourage
them to undertake greater things next
year.
Did the members of the fair associa-
ton not realize that the county needs
an agricultural fair and that the fairs
that have been held are at least in q
measure filling that need, they would
have abandoned the enterprise before
now. Plans would never have been
made for the fourth annual fair which
begins to-day. There were regerses
last year on account Of the unfavora-
bic weather, hut the managers are not
discouraged. There is no good reason
to be discouraged, as the undertaking
has passed the experimental stage and
has already succeeded far beyond SINH
lar enterprises in other counties.
The great need now, if the fair is to
fully accomplish that for which it was
originally planned, is larger co-opera-
ton on the part Of the farmers them
selves. We have confidence in the good
people of this county and believe that
the needed support and cooperation
will yet come.
Why not let it begin this week.

lina's capital. 1t was in Columbia that
some of the pleasantest associations of
Governor Wilson'S early life were
formed.
If Augusta was honored by having a
Republican president pass his winters
in her midst, surely Columbia will be
all the more honored by having Dem
ocratic president winter within her
borders. 1t will not only be an honor
to Columbia but the state to have
President Wilson spend his winters
here.

Good Advice.

Every young man who has a few
hundred dollars in money should invest
in land. 1t is the most valuable asset
person can own, and as some philo-
sopher has well said: 'The Lord is
making people every day but he is not
making another foot of land. DILLON
Herald.
Young men put your dollars in Edge
field dirt. Have farm of your own.
Farming lands will never be cheaper.

A Good Suggestion.

Clarence Poe of North Carolina
wonld make an ideal secretary of agri-
culture. He is young man without a
great deal of experience in politics;
but there is no discount on his broad
enthusiasm, or his administrative abil-
ity. -Yorkville Enquirer.
AS editor of the Progressive Farmer
Mr.. Poe has done excellent work fol
the agricultural interests of this part OF
the country. He would be worthy
successor of Secretary Wilson.
