one that if Aiken had had no dis
pensary this father would be living,
the family would be reasonably
happy, and the life of this boy of
tender years would not be blighted
by having the stain of human blood
on his hands-his fathers blood at
that.
Doubtless scores of similar cases
could be cited. That of Seigler
who is now wearing stripes for
shooting an Aiken policeman while
under the influence of whiskey is
one of the many. Another home
ruined-another group of children
rendered fatherless.
Yes, Aiken you have the social.
ed profits but you pay dear for
them.

Press Not Doing its Duty.

We have looked in vain to the
press of Augusta TO create senti-
ment against the lawnessness that
has made that city the subject of
much unfavorable comment. Con-
trast the alertness and activity of
the Columbia press with that of
Augusta in the matter Of law en-
forcement. Unfortunately, Charles
ton is almost in class with Au-
gusta.
The reason why The Advertiser
has referred to this matter repeat
edly is because the violation of law
in Augusta, particularly the illegal
selling of intoxicating liquors, af-
fects the people Of this county.

AS soon as Greenwood and Augusta
raise their portion of the amount nee
essary to make the survey of the pro-
jected railroad from Augusta to Green
wood corps of engineers will be put
in the field. The committee appointed
by the chamber of commerce, con-
sisting of w. H. Harling, chairman, j.
w. Stewart, B. &. Nicholson, DR.. j.
H. Self and J. P. DeLaughter, have
raised practically all that is expected
of Edgefeld and the people who reside
along the proposed route in the county.
It is understood that there is consdera-
BILE interest manifested at Greenwood
and the fund will be raised for the
survey.
DR.. J. H. Self and the leading citi-
zens of his community are greatly en-
Unused. In fact no member of the fl
nance committee has done better work
Than DR.. Self.

Will Assist In Moving Cotton Crop

Will Assist In Moving Cotton Crop.
1t is not only profitable politically
but profitable materially to the south
for a Democratic administration to
be at the helm in Washington.
There are more southern men fill
ing important government positions
now than at any time within the
past 50 years. This of course is to
be desired in that it gives prestige
to this section of the country, but
that which is to be most desired
does not come through political
channels but comes as actual bene-
fit in graphing with the stern,
everyday problems Of life.
The calling of southern business
men to Washington by Secretary
McAdco to confer concerning the
sending of millions of dollars di-
rectly to the South to aid in NOV.
ing the cotton crop was, if memory
serves us right, the first official act
that has ever come from Washing
ton for the material aid and fnan-
cial relief Of this part of the coun-
try. No such thing was ever
dreamed of by Republican ad-
ministration. Heretofore when the
treasury department has opened its
doors Wall Street was the chief
beneficiary, which policy of the
government has had much to do with
giving New York millionaires the
power to practically control the H.
nanoes of the country.

PAY Dear For Profits.

One of the Aiken papers pub
fishes detailed statement showing
the exact status of the county's f.
nances and calls attention with evil
dent pride and satisfaction to the
cash balance on hand. 1t is doubt
less true that, as county, Aiken in
sense resides on Easy Street, but
is it not equally as true that the
means by which she accumulates
this surplus wealth causes not few
of her citizens to exc out a misera-
BILE existence on Poverty Row.
1t is not denied that the pietbo-
ric condition which obtains in All
ken is due to the sale Of whiskey
by the county. But let it be borne
in mind that along with the shin
lug gold and jingling silver there
come woe unspeakable and anguish
unutterable that far outweigh every
other consideration. Yes, Aiken is
piling up her so-cailed profits, but
at the same time she is making
record for crime that grows blaoker
and blacker.
Only last week the father of an
Aiken county family came HON.
under the influence of whiskey, and
after consuming the supply on
hand sent his little ll-year-old son
to Aiken for more whiskey. When
the boy of tender years returned tie
beastly father again began to drink,
cruelty mistreating his wife. Being
unable to longer endure such treat
ment of his mother, this same boy
who was sent for the whiskey pick
ed up pistol and shot his father
through the head, killing him in
stantly.
Yes, the money Aiken county
made on that fateful quart or gal
Ion of whiskey is a portion of the
'profts' over which it gloats, but
in the name of Heaven who wants
such money as that in the public
treasury? Shame on Aiken!,
There are q hundred. chances ts

Movement has Steadily Grown.

When the tomato club work was
first undertaken several years ago
upon a small scale IN this state little
did anyone think that it would as
sumo such enormous proportions In
so short time. In fact some who
are pessimists by nature predicted
that the movement would soon fail.
The success of the undertaking has
been due chiefly to the perseverance
of the young women who haze been
employed by the government to Or
ganize the school girls. They have
not allowed discouragements to
discourage.
1t is gratifying to notice too how
the State colleges are giving sub
8 tantial encouragement to the toma-
to clubs ovel the state by purchas-
ing the output of their little do
mestic canueries. The State agent
for the tomato club work has closed
contract with Winthrop college
for 600 gallons of tomatoes, and
one with Clemson college for 5000
gallons. Heretofore the Clemson
authorities have been purchasing
their tomat oes in the West.

other form of bowel complaint and
is then cured sound and well by one
or two doses of Chsmberlain's col

more now about the price of the

that the vast majority Of cotton

as possible after harvesting, instead
of being able to hold until a salts
