The beauty Of the Oliver Type

works out satisfactorily for every
body concerned.
This plan ties up a very large
sum Of the company's money in type

But we have an abundance OF
capital. We are glad to use our re
sources &c bring this great business
aid within easy reach of all who
have use for typewriters.

Possessed of Seventy Times Sew
en- Devils.

As soon as the weather is a little
cooler The Advertiser household
will enjoy some pork that will sur
pass anything that Swift or Armour
ever sent out. We know it will be
fine because the porkers have been
fattened on Rhode Island Red
chickens. One of the hogs that is
possessed of seventy.'times seven dew,
ils ate a large fat prize-winning
Rhode Island Red hen for break
fast this morning, not even leaving
the feathers and toes. That may
sound "fishy'' but to US it is pain,
full fact. We are almost persuaded
to bring suit for damages against a
man whom we thought was our
friend for selling us such chicken
loving hogs. Don't get the idea
now that we didn't have anything
else to feed our hogs, forcing them
to run hens down and eat them.

The Advertisers School Children.

Again The Advertiser opens wide
it's columns to the school children
Of the county, inviting and urging
them to send in letters regularly,
but not more than one a week from
any one school. Judging from what
teachers and parents have told us,
we are confident that publishing
the school letters in the past has
encouraged and inspired not few
school children in the matter of let
ter writing.
Little boys and girls. whether
your teacher encourages you or not,
write the letters and send them to
The Advertiser. The children OF
other schools and other communi-
ties greatly enjoy the letters. When
it is convenient write with pen and
ink instead of pencil. and only on
one side of the paper. Do your
very best each time, writing always
though in your simple way. do
not copy after other children or
older people. Never be an lmlta-
tor; be yourself. The readers of
The Advertiser do not expect your
letters to be written or worded
like those of grown up people.
The Advertiser is very proud OF
it's little army of school children,
and we want to see their ranks
steadily grow.

Deserve Better Treatment.

In the matter of rebuilding the
depot the Southern railroad has not
given Edgef eld a square DEAL
Taking into account the large
volu me of business which the peo-
pie of this section give the road,
they deserve better treatment at the
hands of the Southern. 1t appears
to us that the railroad commission
could have forced the railroad 10
dispense with some of the red
tape" which is causing the delay.
What is the commission for if il
can not give relief to a bottle up
town-one that is at the mercy OF
a road that has monopoly of the
business of a given section?
The Advertiser is never disposed
to be unreasonable in dealing with
the individual or corporation, either
privately or publicly, but when
railroad takes FIVE months or longer
to rebuild a depot, with that period
embracing the season of heavy ship
ping of merchandise and cotton, il
seems to US that the exercise o.
further patience ceases to be
virtue.
This inexcusable delay of th'
Southern serves to emphasize Edge
fields need for additional railroad
facilities. If we had a competing
line, instead of a delay of 6v'
months or longer, new building
would have risen Phoenix-like upol

While they were disappointed in
not being able to enlist Mr.. jack
sons support in constructing road
from Augusta to Greenwood by
Edgefeld, they were assured that if
certain conditions were complied
with Edgefeld would be given troll
ley connection with the outside
world. Either the main line from
Augusta to Columbia Will come Dy
way of Edgefeld or branch road
will be constructed to Edgeheld
from the main line. The Chamber
of Commerce heartily agreed to
comply with the very reasonable
conditions outlined by Mr.. Jackson.
He will be informed of the action
of the business men of Edgeheld,
and there is but little doubt that
within reasonable time Edgeheld
will have road that will be for

Let it be understood that the in,

Der of Commerce in a road from
Augusta to Edgefeld to Greenwood
has not abated, and every possible
effort will be put forth by business
men here to secure the proposed
