George Seth Butler.
He was pom at Cherokee Ponds,

Hill Crest in our town on the 24th
If April 1875. He was a nephew
of Lieut. Col. A. p. Butler and was
descended from that young James.
Butler killed on Clouds Greek and
his wife, a daughter of Gen. Amber
son. He was lad in attendance at
the Military Institute at Athens,
GA, when the war opened. SO inn
bued was he with the soldierlY in
stinct that he ran away from school,
joined Texas egiment and served
three months. His Professor, by
this time had found out where he
was and brought him back to finish
bis school term. At the close Of
the session his father allowed him
to enter the army regularly. He
entered .Idne Is, 1868, being only
sixteen years old 1t goes without

Poor Soils and Poor Farmers Go
Together.

There is no record Of man ever
having farmed virgin soils without
making them less productive. And
he has continued to deplete these
soils until he has reduced their fer
tility to point bordering on star
vation, for poor soils and poor far
mers always 90 together. When be-
has 80 reduced the fertility of the
land that profitable, and in some
cases sustaining crops were no long,
pr grown, he has then. through the
force Of necessity, begun to increase
the fertility of the soil until it again
produced profitable or sustaining
crops.
No one race, nation, age, or class
Of farmers has done otherwise, and
in allowing our soils to become de-
pleted we have done no differently
and no worse than all others have
done during all times and in all
countries.
Owing to the fact that cotton de-
pletes the soil less, can resist
droughth better than most crops and
ls the best money crop for poor far
mers known TO the agricultural
world, we were able to continue our
soil robbing longer than other sec-
tions have been able to do. And
then, commercial fertilizers came 10
our rescue, because cotton responds
10 the use of commercial fertilizers
better than other field crops, and
permitted us TO put off still longer
the day when we were forced to
give attention to the restoration OF
soil fertility. But about five or ten
years ago we were pretty generally
fore ed to start the process of soil
bull ling and our increased crop
Yields since attest the fact that we
are making progress; but for many
years to come the problem of in;
creasing soil fertility will remain
the most important American
economic problem. Its solution will
not solve all others, but the others
cannot be solved without it.-Pro'
greSsive Farmer.

Field of Very Fine Oats.

There is farmer Zone of the best
in the county, who resides less than
four miles from Edg"Geld who has
the finest oats to be seen anywhere.
We would like TO mention his name,
as an inspiration TO others If for no
other reason. But he Is too modest
to have his name appear in pubic
print. A gentleman who visited the
farm at Gleason college told us that
he saw nnthing there that was finer
than Monsieur I}lanc's oats. There
now you have his name after all-ln
French. These fine oats are Of the
Fulghum variety and will he nlacrd
on the market next fall AS seed oats.

Hon. r. M. Nixon Candidate
for Congress.

The first can. ;date to offer TOR
congressional hnnors from the End
district is the Hon. R NJ. Nixon o!
Williston who has heen actively IN
,er-sted in public matters for
number of years His first service
was in 1876 when he donned the
red shirt and had part in restor'
ing order out of chauS and winning
a signal victory for white suprema-
cy.
The major portion Of Mr.. Mixon's
business career has been identified
with agriculture. In 1904 he had
reason to believe that the hgires
published by the census department
giving the number of bales of cot
ton ginned were erroneous and at
ter taking the matter up with thh
department secured a reduction ot
$4,000 bales. He also called secre-
tarv of agriculture Wilson to ac-
count for the report giving the
number of acres planted in cotton,
the figures being incorrect.
During the sessions of the South
Carolina legislature of 1894 Mr..
Nixon secured the passage of sever
al important measures and was IN
strumental in defeating some that
were not for the best interests of
the people. He worked against,s spoke
against and voted against the adop-
ton of the Bristow amendment, to
the federal constitution, believing
that i,s adoption would at some
future time he deeply regretted bv
the white people Of the south. He
passed through the House county
government hill that has effected a
saving of many thousands of dol
lars To the people. He passed a bill
relating TO contracts and aided IN
the passage Of measure requiring
Clemson college to furnish hog
cholera serum to farmers with"nL
charge. He was also instrumental
in passing other measures Ut value
IL the people.
Mr.. Nixon is well Informed on
the issues, of the day and is a man
"f decided conviction, and o:he
has the moral courage TO declare
himself unreservedly. In due season
he will visit the people of all parts
of Elg4hrId county and give them
an opp r unity to know personally
of his fi,ne>s fur the responsible pu-
sltiun t. which he aspires.

Before it is Too Late.
Poem for Mothers day.


If you have a gray-haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit you down and write the letter
You put off from dav to day.
Don't wait until her weary steps
Reach heavens prarly gate,
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
If you have tender message,
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it to-day.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait.
So make your loved one happy
Before iti is too late.
The tender words unspoken,
The letters never sent,
The long-forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent-
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these sune loved ones wait;
Show them that yon care for them
Before it is too Late.

Alight in hearts of gold.
F. o. Ticknor.
Edgpfeld county gave to the war
many great men; but none who did
any more for, or who became mole
prominent for the cause than the
Buffers. This name was known not
only for the number of its men but
also for their noble characters. The
Buffers were from Virginia, stat"
which has furnished for E'lgeheld
many other brave soldiers. The an
cest ors of the Buffers of Edgefeld
were James Butler and Mary Silnp.
son. They came to Ninety Six
District a few years before the
Revolution.
Before the War between the
States there were a number of men
oFnote who were descended from
these ancestors. Among these were
young James Butler, killed al
Clouds Creek, General William
Butler Of the Revolution. Pierce NJ.
Butler, Governor of South Carolina,
,,ol. of the Palmetto Regiment In
Mexico and member of Congress
from South Carolina and Andrew
Pickens Butler, a uoted lawyer and
Judge.
The most prominent names among
the Buffers in The War between the
States were: MAJ Gen VI Calbraith
Butler, Col. William P. Butler and
Lieut.. Col. Andrew Pick1ns But
ler. There would probably have
been others of the name who would
also have become famous had they
not given their lives early in the
cause.

of his military career. He entered

why a man who knows that booze

far-away look in his eyes. The
nearest can come to it is that he
gets careless and over confident of
his ability to drink or leave it alone;
and sometimes be doesn't really
want to quit, preferring rather to
drink, and trust to luck to keep out
of trouble. Then there are men
who think that they can drink and
quit when they choose, they think
they are master of the situation.
Just to see if they are, let them try
to go without their little morning
eye-opener for q period of thirty
days. Some of them will be able to
do so If they try. but you might as
well ask an old maid to go without
tea as to ask these men to forsake
