PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF
CITY COMMISSIONERS, JUNE
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1913-06-04
rhe PRESIDENT Master of Situation.

That President Wilson has long
head, is indicated by his keen insight
into conditions. He anticipates that
leading Republicans on Wall Street will
endeavor to precipitate q panic after
the passage of the proposed tariff bill,
alleging that the then existing depres-
sion and financial stringency has been
caused by the lowered tariff. In order to
forestall this action of designing Re-
publicans, and herein he gives evidence
of very marked accumen and astute-
ness, the president will insist upon
currency reform during the present ses-
sion of congress that will preclude the
possibility of few men controlling the
cash in circulation. They may be able
to disturb confidence and as result
hoard considerable sums, but not
enough to clog the wheels of business
after the proposed currency legislation
becomes operative.

persons did not endorse some Of Mr..
Hitchcoclz's official acts, yet they
were in way forced to acquiesce be-
cause of his claims as to economic man.
agement. One instance of his parsi-
monious policy or management occur
red right under our eyes, causing the
people of Edgefeld to suffer some in
convenience. Several years ago by or
der Ct Mr.. Hitchcock the postal clerks
on many of the trunk lines of railroads
were reduced, the number on the
Southern being curtailed under this
order. AS result the mails were not
properly handled. Letters would be
miscarried in the rush to distribute the
mails before local points along the way
were reach ed, causing delay of near
ly "a hours in their delivery.
The country is now fortunate in hav-
ing thoroughgoing business man at
the head of this important department
instead of some impractical political
pet of the party in power.

Two Severe Blows.

The cause of the whiskey advocates
in South Carolina has received two Sc
we're blows. 1t will be remembered
that recently the governor issued an
order calling in all dispensary consta-
bles after the first of June. In view
of the argument of some that these
special officers are needed more in dry
than in wet counties, it came some
what as surprise that Richland coun-
ty, with it's nearly dozen dispensar-
les, should be the FIRST to request the
governor to let the constables remain
on duty. This is conclusive argument
that blind tigers are more prevalent
in the wet than in the dry counties.
Beaufort is another dispensary coun-
ty in which the illicit sale of whiskey
has become a public nuisance. Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels contemplated
and enlarging the govern
ment property at Beaufort but the fol-
lowing dispatch from Washington
shows that the prevalence of blind
tigers has caused him to reconsider the
matter, or rather to threaten abandon
ment unless conditions are improved:
"Plans to enlarge the naval deten-
tion barracks, at Port Royal, S. c., it
is understood, will be abandoned unless
the State authorities suppress the
"blind tigers" on which the navy de-
partment has had complaint.
So when you hear of some whiskey
being sold in Edgefeld, Greenwood
Saluda and other dry counties, do not
lay it at the door of prohibition. The
record shows that conditions are worse
in the dispensary counties.

Death of MIR. George West.

The passing away of Mr.. George
West in Columbia Saturday remov.
ed one of the landmarks of the
Pleasant Lane section. His body
was brought home Sunday morning
and inferred in the cemetery at
Berea, the funeral being conducted
BY Rev. P. p. Blalock.
For more than year this aged
citizen had been in failing health
and was carried to Columbia some
time ago to undergo special treat
ment. He was in his 63rd year at
the time of his death. Mr.. West
held the confidence and esteem Of
the people wherever he was known.
Possessing a kindly spirit and an
amiable disposition enabled him to
win and hold the friendship of those
with whom he met.
He is survived by his wife, ono
daughter, Mrs. Mary Emma West,
and two sons, Frank and G. b.
West. Mr.. Frank West has been
making his home in Augusta for
number of years, being the head
salesman of the Riee-O'Connor Shoe
company.

Hitchcock's Administration Failure.

An investigation has proven that for
mer postmaster general Hitchcock was
not only an ignominious failure but
that he did not adhere to the rugged
principles of honesty as closely as he
should. All down through the months
and years of his administration he pos
ed as an economist, curtailing the pos
tai service here and there in the most
niggardly way in order that few dol
lars may be saved Atthe end of each
year, and particularly at the close of
his administration, he paraded the
fact that he was the only head of this
department who had ever managed it
without deficit. His Democratic sue
cessor, Postmaster General Burlesou,
had not been in harness very long be-
fore Ae detected that there were mis-
leading entries upon the books and or
dered an investigation. The result was
that Mr.. Hitchcock's claims to a sig
nally successful management of the af-
fairs of the postofice department have
been proven to be untrue. While many

Stressing Soil Improvement.

The county demonstration agent, Mr..
P. N. Lott, was in Edgefeld Monday
and spoke most Interestingly of his
work while in conversation with the
editor of The Advertiser. For the past
two years Mr.. Lott has gone in and
out among the farmers of the county
encouraging and inspiring them. He
has now about 1T demonstrators on
his list. A domonstrator is q farmer
who agrees to cultivate a given area
according to plans outlined by experts
of the agricultural department who are
not only scientists in the technical
sense but have gained a practical
knowledge of agriculture through the
experiment stations that are conducted
all over the country by the govern
ment.
Mr. Lott is greatly encouraged over
the outlook for his work. He is not
only reaching larger number of farm
ers but it is gratifying to him to see
that the interest and enthusiasm OF
those with whom he regularly comes in
contact is increasing. Seeing the ac-
tual results from his labors encourages
him to undertake even greater things
for the upbuilding of the agricultural
interests of the county.
For some time Mr.. Lott has been
stressing soil building and soil i'm
provement by the growing of legumi-
nous crops. He is greatly pleased with
the results obtained from the sowing
of the clovers and vetch, particularly
the latter because It affords such large
quantities of very fine hay, in addition
to storing nitrogen in the soil.
1t was a fortunate day for the farm,
ers of this county when the govern.
ment undertook this work by putting
Mr.. Lott in the field. AS time passes
his efforts will be more and more ap-
preciated, and the good results to the
farming interests will be more ano
more in evidence.
