The Family Cough Medicine.

In every home there should be a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
ready for immediate use when any
member of the family contracts
cold or cough. Prompt use will stop
the spread of sickness. S A Std, of
Mason, Mich, writes: My whole
family depends upon DR.. Kings
New Discovery as the best cough
and cold medicine in the world.
Two soc bottles cured me of pneu-
monia." Thousands of other fami-
lies have been equally benefited
and depend entirely upon Dr.. Kings
New Discovery to cure their coughs,
colds, throat and lung troubles.

Appeal to Farmers to Sow
Large Acreage in Grain.

Editor Advertiser: While we
have been blessed in this State with
an average crop in many sections,
and with a price that is remunera-
tive, fear that the financial relief
that is coming to many of our far
mers will make them forget the
necessity at this time Of seeding a
large grain crop, especially oats.
and 1 would add, some wheat. l
am calling TIE attention TO the ad-
visibility of seeding these two
grain crops from the fact that the
corn crop in many of the great corn
producing states of the west is a
failure. In many sections it is an
absolute failure, and the present
prices of corn in the western mar
kets, and reflected in our local mar
kets, should make US realize the ne
cessity of seeding a large crop of
oats, and in many cases, wheat, in
order to supplement the crop of
corn that we are now harvesting.
1t is not too much to expect that
corn next spring and summer will
be selling for $I.25 cash, aud $l.50
or more on credit, per bushel. Sure
ly, the possibilities of such prices ia
enough to make US stop and think,
and the farmer who has not produc-
ed a sufficient supply of corn for
man and beast, certainly will be
very much in his own light if he
does not seed as large crop of
grain as it is possible for him to
do. ] have mentioned the seeding
of wheat, not from the fact that it
is paying market crop in our State,
but am one of those who believe
that every farmer should make all
of his supplies at home, for it is my
observation that those who prac-
tice this method of agriculture are
generally the men who are prosper
GUS. 1t would take only a few acres
on each farm to supply every fami-
ly with -four enough for home con-
sumption.

Charleston in Bad Way.

The people of a county look to
the grand jury to bring the viola
tors of law to answer for their
crimes, and it is clearly the duty of a
g rand juror to be on the alert for
lawlessness in every form, tlking
the initiative himself in the prose-
c ution when others fail to do so.
Then, if it be his duty to apprehend
The guilty and bring them to JUS
tice, it is all the more a grand ju-
ror's sworn duty to press the cases
that are reported by citizens who
are not bound to do so by an oath.
What pitable spectacle that was
in Charleston last week when So
licitor Peurifoy handed out indict-
ments against 300 men for viola
ting the dispensary law and not a
single true bill was found, the en-
tire matter being disposed of by
embodying this brief statement in
the formal report to the presiding
Judge:
The bills handed US in violation
of the dispensary law we found 42
no-bills and took no action on the
remainder, returning same to the
solicitor" :"
Charleston, a centre of culture,
refinement aud wealth, sustains in
estima BILE injury when men who
have taken an oath to uphold the
dignity and majesty of the law thus
stultify themselves. 1t is quite
probable that a large number of the
500 cases should have been thrown
out of court, but it will be difficult
indeed to convince the people of
South Carolina that portion of
the number are not guilty.
Doubtless these several hundred
lawbreakers are exulting over their
victory, for in deed it was victory.
1t would have been better possibly
had no indictments been made.
Not that either, for at least one man
in Charleston, Solicitor Peurifoy,
has performed his duty.
Shame on the citizenship of Oh VI
lesion!

State. wide prohibition is being

T he Schools and the Fair.

The county superintendent of ed
ucation has made an appeal to the
teachers and trustees to have their
schools represented in the school
wagon parade which will be fea-
ture of the county fair. We do not
believe this appeal will go unheeded.
The response to a like call last
year was most gratifying and we
believe that the parade this year
will be large and exceedingly credi.
table. Larger prizes have been
offered this year, which will war
rant the schools in mourning more
expense-the prize money paying
the bills for the winning schools.
Trustees, teachers, patrons and
pupils, Edgefeld expects a large
number of schools to be represented.
Do you not realize that it is your
fair too? 1t does not belong to the
town of Edgefeld. 1t is COUNTY
fair and an AGRICULTURAL
fair. Because few Edgefeld men
do practically all of the work land
that withot.. compensatory do not
get the idea that it is their fair.
Come and put your shoulders to the
wheel and assist in making your
fair success.
There must be not less than 25
wagons in the school parade. Will
not your school be one?

A good many years ago steamer

shrewd old Yankee captain in COM
mand. Suddenly the engines stopped,
and there was nothing doing for
several minutes. The passengers be-
gan to talk it over among them
selves, and one of them, q portly,
persistent sort of person, advanced
pompously to the captain.
What seems to be the trouble,
oap?" he inquired. Why have we
stopped? p
Too much fog, answered the
skipper ourtly. We can't see up the

FATHER KILLS
FOUR CHILDREN
LINES THEM UP IN ROW FOR
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FAINTS.

PITTSBURG, Mass, April 16-Er-
nest Moschner, aged IS, murdered
his four children and then killed
himself by shooting in his home at
Rollstone street today. Continued
lill-health made the man temporarily
insane, the police believe.
Moschner's wife, upon returning
from work, discovered the bodies of
her children and husband with bull
let holes in their heads.
The murdered childred were:
Elsie, aged IL; Myrtle, aged IL;
Norman, aged s, and Ernest, aged G.
According to the police, the chill
dren were playing in the yard when
their father called them upstairs to
his bedroom There, from 1.-The
marks Of the muddy feet, the officers
believe, he lined the children up in
front of the bed
While the children, half frighten-
ed, were gazing at him, Moschner
drew 32-caliber revolver and fired
at his elder daughter, Elsie. The
bullet entered the head near the left
ear, causing instant death.
