Senator Nicholson a Busy Man
Ruth Lyon.

The editor of The Advertiser had
short conversation with Senator
3. E. Nicholson while in Edgeheld
Monday morning. He has been
W orking hard since the Legislature
convened. Mr.. Nicholson hopes to
secure the passage of his measure
providing a safeguard for primary
elections, which is one of the most
important matters that has been
brought to the attention of the
lawmakers. Mr.. Nicholson has also
introduced a bill requiring insur-
auce companies to invest a part of
their earnings in this state. If such
a law had been enacted 25 years
ago, the resources of our state
would have been developed far oe-
yond what they are to-day. Mr..
Nicholson has another bill which
provides for a state board of ex-
aminers for teachers, the purpose
being to raise the standard of the
teachers in the public schools of the
state. This should also become a
law. A great need throughout the
state is a higher standard in our
public schools.
Mr.. Nicholson was unable to say
when the legislature will adjourn
sine die. He returned to Columbia
Monday afternoon.

Old Reliable Brands.
IF YOU want fertilizers that are

If you want fertilizers that are in
every way dependable, fertilizers
that make large yields of cotton
and corn, use the brands that are
made by the Georgia Chemical
Works. Their goods have been used
by hun dreds of farmers in this coun-
ty year after year for long time.
Their brands have been thoroughly
tested and always bring satisfactory
results. The Georgia Chemical
Works are represented here by the
Edgefeld Mercantile Company. See
them before you place your con-
tracts for the gear.

Letter From Edgefield Graded
School,

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser: AS
only one letter from the Edgefeld
graded school has been written to
your paper the other schools in the
county may have forgotten the fact
that there is an Edsefeld graded
school. We appreciate very much
your kindness in allowing US space
enough to tell them about it.
Our school house is situated on a
little knoll; around it is the play
ground on which beautiful trees are
growing. Under the trees are bench
es on which we sit to study, to play
game, and tell stories at recess. On
each side of the steps is a little
flower bed, making things seem
brighter and mole home Ikea lit
tie brook runs by the play ground
on whose banks pretty ferns and
wild violets lift their heads to the
bright sunshine. Behind the. sch ool
house is little store in which
school necessities, fruit, candy,
homemade cake and other thin ga
are kept.
The interior of the school room is
very pretty ..and comfortable. The
lower window sashes are pain ted
green 80 we can't look out and thus
let our minds wander from our les
sons.
The walls are dotted here and
there with pictures, some of Eng
lish .and American poets, which.
glancing at, cause us to think the
beautiful poems they wrote during
their lives; and others of our most
noted generals, which bring to mind
the brave and heroic deeds they did
for our country's sake.
Over the windows are beautiful
ferns and geraniums, which with
the smile of our teachers make us
wolk with a will. Our teachers are
very kind. They do not rule us with
the rod AS was the custom when our
mothers and fathers We're school
but rule us with love.
In one corner Of the room we
have an art exhibit. ali of tie best
drawings are put on u green back
ground. In another corner is q mu-
scum which consists of different
kinds of rock, silkworms and many
o,her things.
On Valentines day we had in our
room valentine box that afforded
great pleasure to al of the children
ana teachers. AS we came in we
pa; our valentines in a pretty red
box trimmed In hearts. At the close
Of school the box was opened and

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Your Hair Gets
Soft, Fluffy and Luxuri-
ant at Once.

If you care for heavy hair, that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness
and is fluffy and lustrous, try Dander-
inc.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle Of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair If you. have dandruff. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre, its strength and its very life,
and if not oyercomes it produces a
feverishness and itching scalp; the
hair roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily,
get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever
made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and
lots Of it-no dandruff-no itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowlton's Danderine. If
eventually-why not now?-Adv.
