in ''holy horror" if one is coura-
geous enough to refer to its possi-
bility. Everybody knows that the
social evil is the handmaiden of the
liquor business, and with the dis
pensary, no less than the saloon, the
train of evils lengthen.
Some people seem to think that
preachers are licensed to marry and
bury people, and then their peroga-
tives cease. The Bible does not 50
teach. They are .the leaders of the
people for uprightness and against
evil and they are commanded with
no uncertain sound to cry aloud
and spare not. The prophets of the
Old Testament and the New did
not find it necessary to veil their
denunciations. or clothe their speech
with unnecessary adornment, but
spoke with no apologies, as the oc-
casion demanded, and we venture
to say that the prophets Of the pres
ent day in Edgefeld county will not
do less.
In conclusion, the Christian wo-
men of Edgefeld county protest
against this presumptuous effort to
place before their children this vi

An Appeal to Our Farmer Friends.

A personal friend of the editor who
is one of the largest farmers in the
county remarked few days ago: 81
am glad to see that you take deci ded
stand against the dispensary. No good
can come from its establishment, but
much harm will follow"
Actuated by desire to promote the
interests of our friends among the
farmers, has caused US to take even a
more determined stand against the dis
pensary now than we did six years ago.
For the past four years, the writer has
devoted much time and effort, not to
mention the expenditure of actual cash,
in stimulating and encouraging the far
mersto larger achievements and hewould
be lacking in the qualities of true man,
and unworthy of the position he occu-
pies as editor of this newspaper, did he
not raise his voice and warn them
against the common foe.
The establishment of dispensary at
Edgefeld, causing many to yield to
temptation, would check the ambition,
sap the energy, and consume the hard
earned cash of many of the farmers.
1t would also be constant menace to
their sons who come to town to transact
business. Farm labor, which is poor
and unsatisfactory at best. would also
be greatly demoralized by the increas-
ed sale of whiskey.
Of the many thousands of dollars
that will find their way into the dispen-
sary treasury, the vast bulk would be
paid by tillers of the soil of Edgeield
county, not because they are more in.
temperate, but because they so far out.
number all the other citizens. If you
please, take mental census of the
situation. Place the number of law,
yers, doctors, and merchants, on the
one hand, which would not mount high
into the hundreds, and place on the
other the farmers, who in the aggre
gate, would run into the thousands.
Oh deep and abiding interest in the
congnued prosperity of the agricultur
al Gterests of Edgefeld county will
cause US to press forward in this fight
with increasing determination.
Farmer friends, join forces with The
Advertiser in its efforts to keep ou
the enemy, the dispensary, which woulc
sow tares while you sowed the good
seed.

of their own children at heart, if
they want the dispensary. Ask the
ministers, and any one who is inter.
ested in the welfare of our county
from the standpoint of high ideals,
if they want dispensary.
The women of Edgefeld county
are commencing DR.. M. D. Jeffries
for his article in last weeks Chroni-
Gle and Advertiser, and God speed
him in his courage to take tie
initiative. As to criticism of his
words: This is no time for silence
on any of these questions which con-
cern so vitally the welfare of the
coming generation. The censure is
not for those who speak out in con-
demnation of these evils, but for
those who keep ignominious ST.
lence. Social evils are now being
publicly discussed from platform
and pulpit, in newspapers and maya
zines, not only by ministers and re-
formers, but cultured and intelli-
gent women, the most altruistic our
country produces, Jane Addams, of
Chicago, being Ia notable example.
AS long as dens of vice are being
licensed in many towns and cities,
there is no certainty at all that
Edgefeld will always be exempt,
and why should any voice be lifted

Clocks will go as they are set; but

Better Schedule Needed.

There is very general complaint as
to the present passenger schedule
among the patrons of the Southern
railroad between Augusta and Colum-
bia. For nearly year the people have
manifested unusual patience and for
bearance, but irregular and delayed
trains have rendered the situation in
tolerable. Persons going to Augusta
to transact business have but little
more than three hours in that city
when trains are on time, which of it
self is unsatisfactory, but when the
time is reduced to one and two hours
by delayed trains, people are forced to
demand better service from the rail-
roads.
In the matter of the delivery of mails,
too, the people of Edgefeld suffer much
Inconvenience. The morning papers
published in Atlanta two hundred miles
away, reach Edgefeld from two to
four hours earlier than the morning pa
per published in Columbia which is but
sixty odd miles from Edgefeld. This
of itself IS sufficient ground to cause
our people to file complaint with the
postal authorities and with the rail-
road.
The Southern railroad should not
cause the people of this section to suf-
fer in orcer to promote the comfort
and convenience of the tourist class. If
better schedule out of Columbia can
not be arranged by connecting with the
trains from the North, local train
should be put on to leave Columbia ear
ly in the morning for Augusta and re-
turn later in the afternoon.

their children God has given them?
There are hundreds of widowed
mothers, some of them we could
mention in Edgefield county, taking
care of fatherless children, the dar-
Iings of their heart, boys and girls.
Ask them if they want any revenue
money from a dispensary to help
them educate their children. Are
there men of Edgefeld county will
ing to say that they are unable by
labor of mind or hands to take care
of their own children? If they are
willing to sa5 so, it would be better
for them to declare their incompe-
tency, and send their children to an
orphanage.
1t is not the people who advocate
the dispensary who are most inter-
ested in the children and their edu-
cation, if so why this sudden zeal2
Let those who have been doing
most for the moral, educational and
spiritual welfare of the children,
and bearing the burden and heat Of
the day speak for themselves on this
question.
Ask the teachers of all the schools
in our county as much as they de-
sire better schools, whether they
want dispensary revenue or not. Ask
the mothers who have the interest
