attacks that come from apparently
nowhere and yet which are really
aimed by one close at hand.
1t proceeds from the heart that IS
STEPPED in jealousy which very
nearly approaches hatred, and is
written solely for the purpose OF
iniuring a. fellow being. That it
sometimes succeeds in its mission is
admitted, and the pity of it all is
that there are any of Gods creatures
who are willing to lend themselves
to such outrageous acts. Short

derive and vain the hope O. satisfac-

Profitable Cotton Fertilization

Several ask, as usual, for the best
fertilizer for the cotton crop. 1t is
not possible for any one to advise
Alright in all cases and with all soils.
Of one thing 1 am certain: this is,
that the only way to grow cotton
economically is to farm in good
rotation, grow plenty of legume
crops, make plenty Of pea hay and
feed it with the cotton seed meal to
stock and thus make a good supply
of manure and increase the capacity
of the soil, not only for the produc-
tion of cotton, but of corn aud oats
and wheat, and have something
coming in to bring money during
the whole year, instead of going on
credit the whole year, to pay up out
of the cotton crop. Then, having
the legumes and the resulting ma
nure and feeding the cotton seed
meal that you have exchanged seed
for, you will never need to buy any
nitrogen in a fertilizer and will
never need to use any commercial
fertilizer for any crop grown except
the cotton. On that, you will need
only a liberal application of phos-
phoric acid, and in some soils, some
potash. Depend on crimson clover
aud the homemade manure to grow
the corn cro.,. Good farming is
needed more than fertilizers for
every crop planted, and farming
we'll you can afford to use the min
eral fertilizers heavily for the cot
ton. Then if you have new ground
for cotton, do not 60 to work to
run it down by growing cotton on
it continuously simply because the
fresh land will make good crops,
but keep it fresh by maintaining the
organic decay in it and never let it.

Cemetery Hill School.

Please give space in your col
umns for few items from a stu
dent of Cemetery Hill School. We
have a good school and teacher.
The pupils take an interest in any
effort made for the benefit of edu-
cation. Our teacher Miss Ellen
Smith is devoted to her work and
is loved by all of her pupils. She
is very kind and patient, yet firm
and maintains strict discipline.
Our school building is situated in
a beautiful grove, a short distance
from the Martintown road near the
north banks of Sweetwater creek.
We can hear the splash of its wa
ters-as they dash over the rocks on
their way to Big Stevens creek.
While our building is comfortable
it is not furnished as a school room
should be. Our teacher has deci-
ued to make an effort to raise some
money for the school by giving a
play at the Meriwether Hall. After
the play those who desire may re-
main to supper for which a small
price will be charged. There are
also whisperings of a dance to fol-
low. The playSwhich is a three act
comedy, is entitled "a Kentucky
Belle" Miss Smith is ably assisted
in her efforts to produce the play
by Mrs. Marie Parker and others of
the community. / am sure that all
who attend will be pleased with
it.
Now Mr.. Editor in behalf of our
school and community I extend you
a special invitation to be present
with us that evening.
We had lots of rain this winter
and the deepest snow that some of
us have ever seen. We had lots of
fun playing snow ball.
The farmers of our section hav'nt
been able to do any plowing yet.
We hope so much rain and snow
will cause our wells and springs to
afford an abundant supply of water
during the coming summer. We
hope for more water and less cotton
this year.

The Advertiser Then and Now.

With this issue, the writer completes
mis- tenth year as editor of The Adver-
tiser. In some respects these have
been the most strenuous, yet the most
pleasant, years of his life. The EDITOR
finding The Advertiser somewhat on
the decline, and, too, being altogether
without experience in newspaper work,
the early years of this period were ac-
companied by much anxiety and re-
guired the very best efforts of which
he was capable. However, through an
honest and outspoken policy, through
careful business management, and with
one increasing purpose to be benefit
to the people of the county, as well as
further the interests Of the owner, the
paper has steadily grown in volume Of
business, in popularity and in the. con-
fidence of its clientele. A few brief
statements contrasting The Advertiser
then and now, will serve to show how
the paper has grown.
Then The Advertiser was issued in
four page form; now eight and some
times more pages are published every
week,
Then only one printer was needed;
now three are given regular employ
ment.
Then only five or six columns of
home print news matter was printed
each week; now each issue contains
from twelve to sixteen columns of
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1912-02-28
town and county news.

town and county news.
Then The Advertiser contained nc
country news letters; now the news
from almost every section is reported
at close intervals, if not weekly.
Then the subscription list was barely
600; now it is nearly 1000.
Then hand press was used, printing
about 500 an hour. Now we have
power press which prints from 1900 to
1900 an hour.
Then the four pages were folded by
hand; now modern machine folds and
trims the eight pages alta rate of more
than 1900 an hour.
Then the subscription price for the
four page paper was $1.5O per year;
now only S1.50is charged for the eight
page all home print paper.
1t has all along been the editors de-
sire to send paper into the homes of
the county every week of such charac-
ter and moral tone as to inspire high
ideals, encourage nobler living, and
stimulate to greater achievements
along all lines of human endeavor. To
this end, as far as practicable, injurious
advertisements have been rejected,
and all matter tending to stir up strife,
has been suppressed from the news
columns. To what extent this lauda-
bl e ambition or purpose has been re-
allied we prefer to let the readers
themselves answer.
Should Providence decree that the
present editor remain at The Adverti-
ser's helm for another decade, an hon
est effort will be put forth to make as
great improvement in the paper during
that time as has been made in the past
ten years. With a modern mechanical
equipment and having now the largest
bona fide subscription in its history,
there seems to be no reason why The
Advertiser should not continue to grow
in power and usefulness.

Foreigners Excluded From Polls.

Among the many bills of more or less
importance, passed by the Legislature,
was one requiring citizenship as pre-
requisite for voting in the democratic
primary. 1t was passed in order to
clear up the political situation in Char
lesion, excluding the illiterate and un-
assimilated foreigners from the polls.
1t is said that there are at least 1900
voters in Charleston who are not citi-
zens of this country. 1t is right and
proper that this foreign element should
not be given the ballot. Cover
nor Blease vetoed the measure, but
it was passed over his veto.

"She Being Dead,--Yet Speak
eth"

The following is taken from re-
cent issue of the North China Daily
News, and will be of interest to
many. Miss Mary Cutler White
has immortalized herself as well as
the name of Miss June Nicholson
by her pen, guided as it was, by
love and genius:
"The Days of June"
"The Days of june is the title
of tastefqlly bound little volume
just received from the Methodist
Publishing House. Within the
compass of l3o pages, the authoress,
Mary Cutler White, narrates the pa
thetic, yet inspiring, life-story of
Jeanie Hughes Nicholson lovingly
called "June") who for nearly five
years was a missionary in China in
connexion with the w. B. E. M.
She was sent to work at the Nc
Tyeire School, Shanghai, of which
institution she became in due time
the principal. She greatly endeared
herself to the daughters of the
wealthy Chinese who are educated
there, and great sorrow was ex-
pressed when, after short but
strenuous term of service, she was
compelled, through illness, to return
to her home in South Carolina,
where she died about one year af-
ter. Of her it may be said that she
being dead yet speaketh, and it is
safe to predict that this simple
record of her life and service will
act as an inspiration to many into
whose hands it may fall. The vol
ume would make a good present for
the young people.

Candidate for State Treasurer.

Capt. Robert H. Jennings who has
made a splendid record as state treas
urer for the past twelve years, has sta
ted that he will not stand for re-elec-
ton this year. Mr.. S. T. Carter who
has been connected with the state
treasurer's office for fourteen years,
having served five years of that time
as chief clerk, has announced that he
will be candidate. Mr.. Carter is a
native of Edgefeld, and has many
friends and relatives here who will
give him their hearty support in the
campaign.

South Carolina was remembered in
the rivers and harbor appropriation
bill with SITS, 200 for the Cooper river
and $1O5, 900 for the Savannah below
Augusta. If the national government
can appropriate such enormous sums
for the improvement of navigable
streams, why not at least modicum for
the improvement of the public high
ways? One has to travel but a few
miles in this county now in order to
learn of the imperative need for a
scientific road improvement. The to-
tai mileage in this county is too great
for Edgefeld to have scientific roads
without government aid.

Willie Was Sentimental.

Willie was sent out by his mother
to the wood shed to saw and split
some stove wood ont of a pile of
old railroad ties.
Going outdoors shortly after, she
found the youth sitting on the saw
horse with his hesd bowed down in
his hands. She asked her hopeful
why he didn't keep at his work.
MY dear mother" he replied
with much feeling, Il find it so
hard, so very hard, to sever old
ties. ."-Lippinsott's Magazine.

Rehoboth Not Dead.

We have been thinking The Ad-
vertiser, one of the best county pa,
pers in South Carolina, but still
there seemed to be something lack.
ing. Seeing a piece headed Reho-
both last week, we thought it now
complete.
Now this hustling community has
not lacked for news, that there has
not been regular correspondent.
You can now understand why our
school children do not write. They
do not have time, and we farmers
have just made so much cotton, it
has taken all our idle time thinking
how we would get it out.
Surely this is live community,
since we have all been awakened to
the Importance of an education.
We saw in last weeks paper the
piece signed patron saying that our
school teacher Miss Lucille Whatley,
was one of the best that we had ever
had. Of course a patron is supposed
to know, although 1 would be glad
that in his next piece he would give
names of those girls that are taking
music.
Our beautiful teacher Miss What
ley was welcomed visitor at the
home of Mr.. E. M. Whatley on
Friday night last and we are glad
to report MIR. E. M. Whatley much
improved at this writing.
Little Carol Winn the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. NJ. Winn has re-
covered from an attack of measles.
Mr.. Preston Strom from the S.
&C. 1. spent the week end with
home folks.
Mrs. S. E. Strom and daughter,
spent several days last week at the
home of Mrs. ]. w. Quarles.
Mr.. H. E. Freeland and Miss
Carrie Burkhalter were quietly mar
ried on Tuesday evening last at the
home of the bride. We hope for
them success and happiness through
life.
Mr.. Warren Winn's residence
will soon be completed which will
be very neat cottage, and Mr.. j.
d. Hughey's reeidence is also under
construction.
Mr.. Tom Reynolds is quite sick
at this writing but hope for him a
speedy recovery. Mr.. Reynolds in
tends moving to Parksville as soon
as he is able, where l understand he
will continue to run his shop.
