An IneXcusable DELAY.

The supreme court has at last filed a
decree in the case of T. U. Vaughn of
Greenville, sustaining the findings of
the lower court. More than a year
ago Vaughn committed series of hor-
rible crimes and was sentenced by the
court of general sessions last October
to the e'ectric chair. AS this demon
in human form possessed some wealth,
his lawyers appealed upon some film
sy technicality to the supreme court,
where the matter has been pending
for these many months. Such delays
are inexcusable, there being no reason
able ground for so long delay in such
cases. This long-drawn-out process Of
administering justice tends to encour-
age crime, while speedy trials followed
by prompt enforcement or execution
of the courts decree or sentence tends
to stay the hand of the would-be crimi-
nal.

Needs Fire Protection.

Just as nation should prepare for
war in time of peace. so should the in
dividual and the community prepare
for extinguishing fire before the fire
actually occurs. Foremost among the
needs of Edgefeld is some adequate
means Of extinguishing fire. For
number of years the small chemical
engine rendered effective service. but
for some reason. very probably neg
lect, it is now out of commission. When
the engine was purchased some citizens
who are always ready to decry every
forward movement, predicted thatlt
would be altogether useless, being
nothing but toy, 1t is we'll known.
however, that the engine actually saved
property worth 10 or 20 times the
money paid for it. Looking carefully
into the matter of providing some
means of fighting fire should be one of
the first things to command the atten-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce,
acting of course with the town council.
AS the town now owns two mules 1t
would not be as difficult to arrange for
carrying fire fighting apparatus to the
scene of a confagration as it was when
the chemica! engine was purchased.
Possibly the chemical engine could be
owe erhauled and be made to do effective
work again. Who knows? Whose du-
ty is it to see that the engine is in
proper working order?
Edgefeldis liable to have fire any
day or night that would involve a prop
erty loss of five, ten or even fifty thou
sand dollars.

Much Work For New Organization.

Just as every farmer should diversl-
fly his crops so as to be able to convert
some kind of farm produce into cash
during every month of the year, so
should town so diversity its enter
prises as to have weekly and semi
monthly pay rolls putting cash into cir
culation throughout the entire year.
Edgefeld is distinctly an agricultural
CO unity, consequently there is but little
cash money in circulation except
through the sale Of farm produce in
the fall. What we need in Edgefield
is sundry industrial enterprises which
will be constantly putting money IN
circulation, in addition to giving en-
ployment to many of our young men,
who are now unable to find remunera-
tive employment in Edgefeld-
There is sufficient local capital to es-
ia blish such enterprises and there are
also men in Edgefeld who are capable
of managing them. What is needed is
organized effort and concert of action.
which will come through the new COM
mercial organization that was formed
at the mass-meeting yesterday after
noon. There is much work ahead for
this new organization. Let something
definite be taken up at once and let all
efforts be concentrated upon it until
actual results are realized.

Clemson Scholarships.

AS announced in a notice published
in this issue by County Superintendent
of Education W. W. Fuller, an exami-
nation will be held July II FOR the pur-
pose of awarding two Clemson'scholar-
ships. Surely the young men of the
county will not have to be urged to ap-
ply for these scholarships. There
should be at least score or more of
applicants.
1t was a reflection upon the young
men of the county that only two ap-
peared before the board last year to be
examined for the Clemson scholar
ships, and as both of these failed to
make the required go per cent. on the
examination the scholarships were not
awarded for last year. Had larger
number appeared for examination 1t is
probable that two would have made
the required average, thus enabling

is being accomplished for the town
of Johnston By q similar orgauNa-
tion. His suggestions will aid very
materially in making a proper be-
ginning.
A committee, consisting of J. G.
Sheppard, N. G. Evans and B. E.
Nicholson, was appointed to draft
constitution and bylaws, the
president and secretary being also
members of the committee. The
president was authorized to appoint
the mem mbers of such committees az
the constitution provided for, the
names of the members of the sew
eral committees to be announced at
the next meeting which is to be
held next Tuesday afternoon.
This commercial organization
has been launched under exceeding
ly favorable auspleces and we con-
idently believe that something
tangible in developing the material
interests of the town will result.
The officers are active, aggressive
men who are enthusiastic over the
o utlook and the members are the
leading citizens of be town and
vicinity.

A Unique Bequest.

That was wise uncle out in Califor-
MIA who recently left the sum of S., 600
to nephew upon condition that the
young man make and deposit in bank
the sum of 81, 900 before the bequest
was to be paid to him. The old gen
tleman had doubtless seen money fall
into the hands of young men which
proved to be a curse rather than a
blessing. The provision of the will
requiring the young nephew to earn
considerable sum himself in advance of
receiving the bequest taught him. at
least to some extent, the value of a
dollar.
1t is rot infrequently the case that a
father will deny himself almost to the
point of enduring hardship in order to
leave the members of his family in
comfortable circumstances at his death,
forgetting that placing responsibilities
upon his sons and teaching them the
real value of money is of vastly more
importance than amassing wealth that
will fall into inexperienced, irresponsl-
BILE hands.
In this day of extravagant living,
when the yielding to temptation IS
made so easy, no greater misfortune
can befall some young men than to
have a considerable sum of money
placed at their disposal. Of course
there are exceptions to this just as to
everything else, but generally speaking
young people do not know how to use
m oney wisely. The example of the
old gentleman out in California is well
worthy of thoughtful consideration.

President a Strong Man.

1t is almostimpossible to realize that
President Wilson is going to be able to
carry out his plans without great
row; but there is no question of the
fact that he has been having his own
way up to this time. So far as con-
gress is concerned it is largely in po-
sition to say, "just look what we did, "
if things turn out all right, or to say,
that is what have been telling you
all along" if things turn out other
wise. But Mr.. Wilson does not.seer
to be asking anybody to divide respon-
sibllity with him. All he asks of the
Democrats is to stand to their pledges
of party fealty and of the Republicans
he is asking nothing. -Yorkville En-

Millions Spent For Canned Goods.

According to Col. E. j. Watson,
South Carolinians spend about thirteen
millions of dollars each year for can
ned goods. me census is quoted to show
that the State sends out each year a
little over one thousand dollars worth
of canned tomatoes. The natural ques-
ton is why send out even that much
when we have 10 import canned toma-
toes in such quantities. While canning
factories do not seem to thrive, there
is certainly room for each owner Of a
garden to can enough vegetables for
the winter use of his family and the
surplus can be marketed easily to less
fortunate friends in town. Greenwood

The Battle-Flag of the 7th Regi-

Editor Advertiser: We leave to.
day for the Reunion of the Gray
and the Blue at Gettysburg, and |
will carry with me the Battle-Flag
of the 7th S. c. Regt. and let it
float once more over the same
ground that it did 80 proudly, just
so years ago. This flag received
its baptism of FIRE and blood for the
first time at the battle of Fredericks-
burg, December the 18th 1862. Our
first flag being torn to pieces with
shot and she'll, from Richmond to
Sharpsburg, / can't recall just how
many men were killed and wounded
under it's pure folds. John Clark
was our color bearer at Gettysburg,
and wounded at that battle, and
was killed dead at the battle of
Chickamauga; with this precious
emblem in his hands. Miss Mary
Poppenheim of Charleston S. c., is
the custodian of our flag; and she
has sent it to me to be displayed at
Gettysburg one time more. [ love
this flag, as mother loves her first
born, while stand ready to strike
down to the deaf h any foe, who
upholds insult in any wayto the Uni
ted States flag; but there never was,
nor never will be flag, that floats
on land or sea that l can love as
do this. Three of my brothers
were killed Under it and three were
wounded twice, hence l love it.
Yes, 1 love it. SO l am going to
take it back and let the boys see
what they run from 30 hurriedly
across the meadow, and the wheat
field. But then our breast were
full of daggers, now the white dove
of peace, will spread her silver
wings over that once bloody plain;
and united we will stand. The blue

She said to me, Mr.. Wright, when
i tell you what l am you wont like
it, I'm Yankee! Why | said, bless
your little soul I never in all my
life had one thing against yankee
woman, it was the yankee boys that
/ had the scrap with, and not the
girls, so we were good friends there
after. So it will be at Gettysburg,
I am going to have a better time
now than 1 did when l was there
last. and expect to come back bet
ter man. 1t was there that l had
my closest call, as i saw it, and will
tell it later, but sure did do some
clean running.
While at Chickamauga at the re-
union l met man by the name of
Ben Benson, who said, in speaking
Of the little battle Of Fort Sumter,
aassrA 1861; he said, that Wiigfall
fred the first gun at the Fort. l
told him that 1 would have to take
issue with him there, for it was
Gov. Pickens' daughter that did
that, about which 1 will:speak later.
1t was Wigfall who carried the dis
patch to Maj. Anderson demanding
the surrender of the Fort to the
Confederate States Of America.
