A Dead Issue.

There are too many live questions IN
which our people are actively interest
ed for the candidates for legislative hon
ors to waste their time discussing mat
ters that havet been definitely settled by
our people. A discussion of the lien
law, of the law providing for public
cotton weigher, or some Other like ex-
isting law, would be as apropos at this
iuncture as the discussion of the liquor
question. The laws mentioned are al
ready on thestatute books and are prov
ing satisfactory; SO is the present liquor
law. Then in all good conscience why
lug this time-worn, thread-bare ques-
ton into every campaign? Let US rath-
er be thankful that the time has come
when it can be eliminated altogether
from Edgefeld county politics.
Only within the past few months our
people have said by their actions, rath-
er, and more effectively, by their fail
ure to act, that they are thoroughly sat
isfed with the present status in Edge
field county. Gentlemen, in the Ian
guage of the street, "cut OUT dead
issues and devote your efforts in the
limited time allotted you to enlighten-
ing our people on the many live ques-
tions.

A World of Difference.

ssPity tits It is true" that some OF
the candidates who are ''higher up
in South Carolina politics can not sit at
the feet of our county candidates and
learn an important lesson in how to
conducta campaign on high, dignified
plane. Instead of indulging in
invective and vituperation, using all
kinds of insulting and disgusting per-
sonalities, our county candidates are
notably agentlemanly set of men, who
discuss public questions In way that
will enlighten and edify our people.
Between South Carolina campaign
meeting and an Edgefeld county cam
paign meeting there is a world of diff
ference. Those who were at Republi-
can church last Saturday were deeply
impressed with that fact.

The Lines Tightly Drawn.

Quite Unexpectedly, yet definitely
and decisively, the lines as to the fol
lowers of Gov. Blease and Judge Jones
were tightly drawn at the county cam
paign meeting at Republican church,
and it is probable that like course
will be pursued at all the other meet
ings.
Upon first consideration of the mat
ter, The Advertiser was opposed to
asking the aspirants for the legislative
honors what candidate for governor
would receive their support, but after a
more thoughtful consideration we are
convinced that, in the present exigan-
cy, it is an altogether reasonable and
proper question.
As long as South Carolina has gov
ernor who, not satisfied with acting the
despot in his own department., endeav-
ors as usurper to control the legisla-
tive branch of the government also,
the voters have an indisputable right
to- know to whom the prospec-
tive members of the general assembly
will give their support for governor.
Ordinarily this would be purely per-
sonal question, and therefore improp-
er; but in the present exigency there
is more involved than mere choice be-
tween men.

Delightful Social Gathering.

Miss Flossie Lamb entertained
very gracefully her guests, Misses
Iris and Lalla Hamilton and Mr..
James Lamb Friday evening of last
week. The first part Of the evening
was devoted to, cards. Finch and
old ancient card games were played.
In these games Miss Lalla Hamil-
ton excelled in superior knowledge
and skill. After the games of cards
we were invited into the cozy little
dining room beautifully decorated,
and we're served very delightful
cream and cake. We then went out
in the moonlight and enjoyed many
games also of an old type. These
games were enjoyed only as young
people know how. Those fortunate
enough to be present at this happy
occasion were only just the south
side. of town, who wele Miss Ma
mie Cheatham and her guests, Mis-
ses Annie May Atkinson and Ellee
Swearingen, Miss Marie Bryant and
her guest, Miss Annie May Bryant,
Miss Margaret Reel and her guest,
Miss Maude Thurmond, Misses
Evelyn and Rhea Ednunds and
their guest, Miss Mejeska Moody.
Messrs. James Lamb, John Holston,
J. F. McClung, w Il Bryant, Will
liam Thurmond, Preston Strom,
Wallace and J. B. Reel, Claud and
Frank Lyon, Albert and Aldrich
Cheatham and Earnest Ryan. After
the second course of refreshments
more indoor games were indulged
in. Every one was sorry to see the
clock hands slowly creeping on to
twelve. But all things must hare
an end, and we thanked our kind
hostess for the happy hours and de-
parted. 4. Z.

But One Answer.

Frankly, now, which will make South
Carolina the better governor, man
who will conscientiously endeavor to
treat every white citizen, the high and
the low, the rich and the poor, alike, or
the man who states emphatically in ad-
vance thathe will bestow favors upon
his followers only? One wiltshire TO
promote the interests of all South Caro-
lima, while the other, seemingly, seeks
to promote only his own political inter
ests. Be honest with yourself and,
without bias or prejudice, answer this
question.

Pretty Edgefeld "Mountaineer"
Writes Interesting Letter
From Summer Home.

Dear Advertiser AS usual every
year l write you all a letter jus. af-
ter we reach our summer home.
This is our 9th session in our
cottage at Cedar Mountain and the
18th summer here. So you see we
are now beginning to be identified
as regular summer mountaineers.
Mother, who has been sick all of
this year, was able to make the trip
up last week, and has improved
every day since. She has been up
and the weather is fine now. We
have Mr.. George F. Minis of Edge
field, and his friend, Mr.. Paul Glib
son, camping some two hundred
yards from US and they nearly froze
this morning. They were up early
looking for frost.
DR.. J. H. Carmichael is here and
papa took him, Mr.. Minis and
friends around some, and carried
them down to the falls. They cross
ed the river underneath instead of
over it. That was quite new thing
to them and they were charmed
with such falls in the river as we,
have here. Some of them are over
hundred feet high. Papa said lie
tried to show DR.. Carmichael
Caesars Head, but he was afraid
when he was up on such an altitude
that he would not get close enough
to the edge to see four thousand
feet down, and said his eyes had
seen enough if he did not see all.
The OK teams up here have to
be shod and the doctor was carried
away with how quick big steer
could be put in the machine they
have and be shod SO easily.
Among the many names carved
on Caesars Head rock we see some
names from Edgefeld, and they are
E. ]. Minis, G. Minis and D. 3. II.
The apple crop in this section is
unusually fine, also the peach crop
which gets ripe in October is said
to be very good.
The mountaineers are hauling po-
tatoes thirty-three miles to Green
vile, also to Hendersonville twenty
one miles. They are getting one
dollar bushrl, and they think that
is fine, as it is ESQ much better than f
the usual price. This crop to the
farmers here is like the cotton crop
to the farmers at home. Papa was
talking to a farmer here, and he
said they raised from two to three
hundred bushels of Irish potatoes to +
the acre. And said they often sold
their cabbage in the field to tNe
travelling huxters at four to I've
cents per cabbage. The cabbage for (
their fall and winter crop looks
small and backward, as it has ra n
ed SO much they could not work i
them. The people here are having +
singing convention to-day at Mace
donia church and this is like the
Baptist convention at home.
We hope to keep papa up here
two weeks at first and week when
we are ready TO go home.
will leave here in time for G.
F. G. to open. SO / will not see old
Edgetield until Christmas.
Your friend,
Gladys Rives.

Mr.. Turner Makes Announce
ment.

TITS my desire to inform the
friends and patrons of The Corner
Store that I have taken over a love-
ly store building in the growing lit
tie city of Greenwood, S. c., and
will proceed to open up there bust
ness about September 18th, along
the same high plane the Corper
Store is being conducted.
TITS not our purpose in doing
this to release our hold on the Cor
ner Store, but to better prepare our
selves to aid and accommodate its
patrons. The buying for two stores
will very much increase our pres
tige as buyers, giving us many ad-
vantages by which we can and will
buy cheaper, many lines. This ad-
vantage will be given to the two
stores and we want our friends and
patrons to rest assured that their
continued loyalty to the Corner
Store will be fully remunerated by
our progressive way of doing buSi-
ness. Competent and pleasant clerks
will be on hand to attend your wants
and the writer hopes to spend quite
a while of his time as usual with
you. Thanking you for the past
pleasant patronage we earnestly ask
q continuance of same.
Itemumber please that no trans
action with us is satisfactory unless
it is mutually beneficial.
Very truly,
W. II. Turner.

Judge Jones Benefited.

Reports have reached The Advert
ser from several sources that the very
excellent speech which Judge Jones
delivered here at the campaign meet
ing has made friends for him. The oc-
casion gave some people who really did
not know Judge Jones an oppor-
tunity to hear him, and the very able
and dignified speech made favorable
impression.

Sumptuous Feast Served.

Upon the rectangular table under
the oaks, the members of the Re
publican church, with Generalissi-
mo J. T. Littlejohn in command,
served a bountiful basket or picnic
dinner. For abundance, variety and
very excellent manner in which it
was prepared and served, one sell
dom sees the Republican feast sur
passed. Ice cream and ice tea were
also served, the supply becoming
exhausted long before the purses
were empty.
Mrs. Li:tlejohn gave the church
a beautiful cake which brought $40.
One hundred slips of paper contain
ing numbers from l to 100 were
sold at lC cents each. A duplicate
of one of the slips was placed in an
envelope, and the one who purchas-
ed the ticket to correspond with that
IN the envelope was awarded the
cake. The winner was Mr.. Joseph
Atkinson. From the dinner, re-
freshments and the sale of the cake,
the sum of Sl3S.3 33 was realized
for improving the church building.

WILSON'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS
LABOR

AS soon as the nomination of Prof.
Wilson was announced, Samuel Com
pers FASTENED to a conference with the
Democratic nominee. But Mr.. Com
pers does not love the Republican par
ty, for the reason, perhaps, that he has
been convicted and sentenced to a term
of imprisonment under a Republican
administration. Prof. Wilson'S atti-
tude towards organized labor is set
forth in the following extract from a
speech dlivered by him on July 10,
1909:
"You know what the usual standard
of the employee is in our day. 1t is TO
give as little as he may for his wages.
Labor is standardized by the trade
unions, and this is the standard to
which it is made to conform. No one
is suffered to do more than the aver
age workman can do. In some trades
and handicrafts, no on is suffered to
do more than the least skilled of his
fellows can do within the hours allot-
tesl to days labor and no one may
work off hours at all or volunteer any
thing beyond the minimum. The Ia
Dor of America is rapidly becoming
Improbable under its present regula-
ton by those who have determined to
reduce it to a minimum
