Eschew Politics.

Just as The Advertiser has always en-
deavored to be perfectly fair to all can
didates for public Office, it is the edi'
tors purpose to continue to adhere to
that policy. For that reason all cor,
respondents are requested to make nc
reference in their letters to either
avowed or prospective candidates. In
fact, it is always better to eliminate
politics altogether from news letters.
However, when a citizen desires to
discuss public matters and political
questions in a way that tends to the
betterment of society and the uplift OF
humanity, The Advertiser will cheer,
fully give space to such communica-
tions.
Where two men are candidates fol-
public office, and one of them happens
to have friend who contributes arti-
cles to the press to write favorably OF
him it places the candidate who has no
friend at court at a decided disadvan-
tage.

Kemp-Kemp Marriage.

A very happy occasion was afford
cd all those who were fortunate
enough to be guests at the mar
riage of Miss Bertha Lucille Kemp
to Mr.. James Lewis Kemp on We'd
nesday evening last at the home of
Mrs. Elizabeth Kemp in west Edge
field.
There were. many friends and
relatives from various sections of
our county present, and all the
neighbors, and many Edgefeld
friends, who were most hearty in
their sincere congratulations to both
these highly esteemed young peo,
pie. Mr.. Kemp was well known in
Edgefeld as student in our school,
the South Carolina Co-Educational
Institute. Miss Bertha has won
many friends for herself since her
residence in Edgefeld by her kind
ly manner and sunny disposition.
At seven thirty o'clock, music,
'Wagener's Bridal Chorus from
Lohengrin" was commenced by
Miss Lura Minis, and the bride and
groom, unattended, entered the par.
lor, preceded by Rev. ]. E. John
ston who performed the ceremony.
Beautiful decorations of white roses
and Southern smilax, artistically ar.
ranged, gave a festive air to the oc'
casion, and under bower of white
and green, the pretty bride and
manly groom, received many heart
felt and sincere congratulations.
After the ceremony had been per
formed, the guests spent some pleas
ant moments in examining the many.
and varied, useful, and ornamental
gifts which were laid upon tables
in an opposite receiving room. .Thisis

Confederate Re union in Macon.

The next reunion of Confederate
soldiers will be held at Macon, Ga,
and elaborate preparations are be-
ing made for their entertainment.
The Advertiser has received the
following for publication which
shows how actively interested the
ladies of Macon are in planning the
social side for all daughters who
attend:
The social side of the coming re-
union of the United Confederate
Veterans at Macon, Ca, May 7-8,9-
1912, will be very interesting to the
United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, for MIS-. Walter d. Lamar
as chairman of the Woman's Aux:
iliary is making a special effort to
eclipse in social way any previous
reunion, as far as the Daughters are
concerned in the coming event.
Mrs. Lamar has appointed the
following well known ladies' to as
sist her in this important part of
the work:
Hospitality-Nlrs. L. J. Willing
ham.
City Beautiful-Mrs. Walter
Grace.
Enter tainment of maids and
sponsors-Mrs. Chas. FL. Hall.
Decorations-Mrs. John A. Sell
den.
Finance-Mrs. A. Flew Holt.
Music-Mrs. James w. Galloway,
Jr.
Press-Miss Ida Holt.
These committees are meeting
quite frequently and they are doing
wonderful amount of active work.
Mrs. Lamar has also the city d.
vided into 25 sections, each of
which has a sub-chairman and the
same subcommittee, the whole
working under one head, that of
Mrs. Lamar.
The U. D. C's. will work in con-
junction with the Sons, and those
who attend the reunion will find
a real Georgia hospitable welcome
awaiting them upon their arrival in
''The Magnetic Center" of Dixie.
Information of any kind desired by
the Daughters will be cheerfully
given by addressing the General
Secretary, E. H. Hyman.

Has Lost Ground Politically.

By persons who are observing and
who are informed as to the trend of
affairs, it is generally conceded that
Governor Blease has lost ground po-
litically all over the state. Dissension
seems to have arisen even between him
and his strong ally, Mayor Grace in
Charleston, his great stronghold. The
repeated overriding of his vetoes by
the legislature has contributed to this
revulsion of sentiment. The people
have confidence in the men whom they
elected to the legislature, and believe
that they have acted with wisdom and
discretion in casting their ballots
against the governor.
The Columbia correspondent to the
Augusta Chronicle analyzes the situa-
ton as follows:
"This has been one long continual con,
test between the members and the gov.
ernor. The members have asserted
their rights and have won in the con.
test. The action of the General AS,
sembly in South Carolina has caused
many friends of the governor to turr
away from him.
Here is the situation: The election
will be held next summer in the vari'
GUS counties of the state. Many of the
members of the present General AS,
sembly will go before the people and
ask for reelection. These same MEM
bers must explain to the people theil
reasons for overriding the objections
of the governor in almost every in.
stance. They will have to give their
reasons and in doing so must necessari.
ly show the real G. L. Blease to the
voters of South Carolina. All members
of the General Assembly have many
friends in their home counties, or they
would not be in Columbia as represen-
tatives. These friends have confidence
in them and when they tell the people
that the governor of South Carolina is
not the right sort of man it is certain
to have a wonderful effect on the boast
ed strength ofsthe governor. r."

Tri.County Convention of the
Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union.

Great preparations are being made
for the TriCounty Conven-
ton of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union at Johnston On
March 3rd and 4th.
The programme in detail is not
yet ready for publication, but some
of the interesting features will be
splendid music with Mrs. M. E.
Walker of Johnston as organist
and a choir busily preparing for
the occasion. There will be vocal
solos, male quartettes and choruses
specially adapted to the subject
which will be the theme O. the two
days meeting.
Among the speakers will be Mrs.
Florence Ewell Atkins of Tennes-
see, whose eloquence and beauty of
person have won thousands to the
cause of temperance to which she is
giving her time and unusual talents.
Mrs. Atkins will arrive in South
Carolina on next Sunday and will
visit our larger towns and cities in
the interests of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union. of which
she is national organizer and lee
turer. Mrs. Atkins was conspic-
uous figure in the Tennessee cam
paign for prohibition, and more re-
Gently in the Maine agitation, which
resulted in the retention of the prohi-
bition amendment. Her extreme cul-
ture and refinement give her unusal
prestige among the temperance lee
turers. She begins her work in
South Carolina at the Greenville
Female college.
Another speaker will be Miss
Roena Shaner, Vice. President of
the w. G. T. U. of Missouri, and a.
national organizer. Miss Shaner
has been in South Carolina since
the middle of January, visiting va
rious unions, and lecturing in the in !
terests of the organization. She
has already won the hearts of Edge
field county women by her delight
full visit among US several years
ago, when she made an itinerary Of
our county. Miss shaner will visit
a number of places in the county
just after the tri-county convention.
There will be gold medal con-
test, and on Monday an Institute
for temperance workers, at which
Miss Shaner and Mrs. Atkins will
assist. The state officers and Isu-
perintendents who reside in the
boundary of the three counties of
Saluda, Edgefeld and Lexington,
will be invited to be present and
take part in the Institute: Mrs. G..

HANDICAPPED.
This is The Case With Many
Edgefield People.

Too many Edgefeld citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis-
cry, making work a burden and
STOPPING or lifting an impossibility.
The back aches at night, preventing
refreshing rest and in the morning
is stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's kidney pills are for sick
kidneys-thousands testify to their
merit. Can you doubt Edgefeld
evidence?

1t seems almost impossible for ses-
sion of the South Carolina legislature
to be entirely devoid of pickering and
strife. For several years, there was
lack of harmony between the Senate
and House, but this year their deliber-
ations have been in perfect accord. The
attitude the governor assumed at the
opening of the session has been resent
ed with increasing intensity by both of
the legislative bodies as the session
has progressed. This difference, large
ly political, has given rise to much
useless debate, and occasional loss OF
time.

Fifth National Corn Exposition
to be Held in Columbia.

Columbia, S. c., Feb. 1.-The
Fifth National Corn Exposition
will be held in Columbia, S. c.,
January 9th to February sth,
1918. The four previous expositions
were held in the non thern states ard
the selection of a southern state for
the next is an Acknowledgement of
the fact that the south is no longer
looked upon as purely a. cotton pro-
ducing section.
For the first time in the history
of the country, all sections, east,
north and west, will have an oppor-
tunity to meetsin the south for the
holding OF a great National Expo
sition.
Those who are familiar with the
past history of .this movement and
what it stands for in its relation to
agricultural education and develop
ment know that it is more than a
mere corn show. The competitive
EXHIBITS of corn, other grains and
grasses is only a minor part Of the
exposition. The great feature will
be the exhibits and demonstrations
of the various state agricultural col
leges and experiment stations and
the United States department of
agriculture. These exhibits will de-
piet in graphic and forceful man
ner the various lines of agricultur-
al experimentation and ipvestiga-
tion being carried on by the United
States department of agriculture
and the different state agricultural
institutions. Each exhibit will be in
charge of experts, who will explain
the details TO the visiting farmers
and point out how the results of
this work may be applied to their
own farm conditions.
In addition to this there will be
a display of farm and dairy equip
ment and machinery, more extern
sive than anything ever assembled
in the south before. In the dairy di-
vision there will be representative
animals of the various dairy breeds,
brought together under the auspices
of the national dairy cattle clubs;
also modern milk handling plant
where cheese and butter will be
made.
Conservation, country life and
rural school problems will be treat
ed in a fundamental way both
through exhibits and by speakers
of national reputation.
There will be competitive classes
for all kinds of grains and grasses
and cotton. AS this exposition is
national in scope it is necessary to
limit the number of competitive e1-
hibits 10 the prize winners in their
respective state shows. In this way
only the best that has been produced
by each state will be exhibited to
compete for Zone, National and In
ternational sweepstakes trophies.
Two years will intervene between
this exposition and the one held at
Columbus, Ohio in 1911. This
length of time will enable the man.
agement to put on a show at Co
lumbia that will far surpass any ex-
position of this kind previously
held.
The National Corn Exposition is
grand round up of all state ag-
ricultural meetings and shows, the
best in thought and the best in ex-
hibits. 1t summarizes, in graphic
form, the agricultural progress of
the nation.
