Edgefield Up in Arms.

A handsome and very popular
young gentleman of Augusta had
better henceforth keep himself
strictly on the south side of the Sa-
vannah. Even then he is not-al'
together safe, for some Edeefeld
young men may engage a Zeppelin
and while soaring above Augusta
drop bomb squarely upon his
head, after the manner of the Ger.
mans.
Mr.. Hal Dewitt Beman is the
young Augustan who is in great
jeopardy. because he has carried
away a beautiful Edge6eld girl.
Miss Marie Key, as his bride. The
impression prevailed in Edgefeld
that these young people, aided and
abetted by Cupid, had some plans
that would be consummated in the
spring, but the announcement that
they were married at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles II. Key. Monday afternoon,
came as great surprise, even to
their most intimate friends. There
were no guests invited. The ceremo-
ny was performed by Rev. j. R.
Walker. Soon after their marriage
Mr., and Mrs. Beman left in an au-
tomobile for the groom's home in
Augusta. The people of Edgefeld
will forgive Mr.. Beman for taking
.one from us who made herself wide
ly beloved by her sweet spirit, gen.
tile manner and amiable disposition,
if he will promise to make as fre-
.quent visits to Edge6eld in the fu-
ture as in the past, bringing Mrs,
Beman with him each time.
Mr.. Beman is prominent young
business man of Augusta who holds
responsible and lucrative position
in the Georgia Railroad bank.
The Advertiser extends hearty
congratulations.

A Song of Conservation.

To thee beloved country
Forever grand and free!
From ocean unto ocean
Immanuels land to be-
To thee we pledge allegiance,
For thee our souls are strong;
With heart to heart united
In prayer, in work, in song.
Our land shall be triumphant,
Der foes that now oppress;
This pilgrimland of nations
Her children all shall bless;
Shall Danish sin and sorrow,
The curse of drink o'erthrow,
Shall bring glad tomorrow
In righteousness to glow.
The dawning day is glorious,
Our country's sky grows bright;
We hail the holy radiance
Of prohibitions light!
O God of nations, hear US,
Our trust is all in thee;
To thee We'll give the glory
In psalms of victory!

Treat Sin as a Rattlesnake.

When / first started out to preach
|I diagnosed the difficulty as being
located in the gray matter. | said,
The bunch seems to be from Mis-
souri,, and l guess it's up to me to
show 'em." So l got down the En-
cyclopedia Britannica, Webster's
Unabridged, and all the authorities
on highgrade English and rhetoric.
I had some sentences so long and
complicated it would make the jaw
of a Greek professor speak for
week after trying to pronounce one
of them. But it never delivered the
goods-it produced no more effect
than shooting green peas against
lGibralter with pop-gun.
Finally I said: Lord, I think I
have this thing doped out wrong.
There's nothing the matter with anv
one except they have the devil in
them" | loaded my old Gospel gun
with words not 80 polished and e!e-
CANT as those that come from the.
nickel-plated, copper riveted, homi-
letical, theological arsenal, but with
common everyday phrases (Which
everybody could understand and
with rough-on-rats, barbed wire,
ipecac, dynamite, and rock salt
pulled the trigger and blazed away,
and The feathers have been flying
and the bunch have been hunting
their holes ever since.
i think TOO much of the preach
ing nowadays is too nice, too pref
sty, too dainty-it don't kill. | find
there is no use going to war on
skunk with cologne water-you've
got to select your weapons accord
ing to the kind Of game you are af
ter. One reason why sin triumphs is
because we treat it as though it
were cream-puf instead of rat
.tlesnake. A minister is Gods ar

JUST IN TIME.

Wait Till It's Too Late.

Don't wait too late.

Just in time with kidney ills.

dizziness, the urinary disorders.
That so often come with kidney
troubles.
Deans kidney pills are for this
7sFFy purpose.
Here is Edge6eld testimony Of
their worth.
John II Smith, overseer at cotton
mill, Edgefeld, says: THE kidney
secretions were too frequent in pas
sage and very scanty. They were
highly colored and I had to get up
several times during the night to
pass them. I also had headaches and
dizzy spells. Friends recommended
Doan's kidney pills and as I had
also seen them advertised, l decided
to try them. One box cured me of
all symptoms of kidney trouble. y
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's kidney pills-the same
that Mr.. Smith had. Foster-Milburn

soFghhuin For Forage.

For emergency feeding, few crops
if any are equal to sorghum. Ordi-
nary sweet or saccharine sorghum
may be considered one of our most
important forage crops. Sorghum
tolerates drouth as very few other
crops do; it endures hot summer
weather and has the well-known
adaptation Of reviving and renew
ing growth after a drouth, when
rain finally comes.
Sorghum should be planted on
rich soil. II responds readily to
rich lard and good cultivation, yet
!, it will endure poor soil, dry sea-
son and general neglect as we'll as
any crop and much better than
most of them. But this makes it
all the more important to plant on
good soil and cultivate we'll, espe-
cially when only a few acres are
needed to feed the stock.
Sorghum may be grown as soil
ing crop and this is one of its best
uses, provided green feed is scarce.
For hogs, COWS, beef cattle, sheep,
horses and mules sorghum is fine.
The animals relish it anu consume
large quantities. With a little
grain, green sorghum makes an ex-
,cellent ration.
As nay and forage crop sorghum
ranks with the best. For forage it
is cut with the binder, cured and
stored under sheds or in hay barns.
When sown broadcast and the
plants crowded close together it
makes palatable, nutritious hay.
But this requires rich land.
Sorghum silage is considered
nearly as good as corn silage, pro-
vided it is ensiled at the proper
stage of ripeness. 1t should not be
cut green as the silage will be sour
and apt TO mold badly. For ensi-
lage, sorghum, heads should be ripe.
The yield of sorghum when used
for Siege is better than corn under
the same conditions. On soil of
good fertility sorghum should yield
from one to four tons par acre more
OF silage than corn, but of course
the corn would be somewhat better
provided the ears were properly
formed.
The crop should not be planted
until the ground is warm and all
danger of fsost is past. his will
be a week or two later than corn
planting time. The rows are from
three feet to three and one-half feet
apart. The seeds may be planted
on a slight ridge, or in furrow, as
is the common practice where rain
fall is very light and winds rather
severe, as conditions may be on the
plains. In the more humid regions
where surface drainage is needed
the ridge is preferred. It will re-
quire from four to six pounds Of
seed and to plant an acre.--Farmers

Quit Your Worrying.

We are given the gratifying as
esurance by the department of agri-
culture that there is absolutely no
danger Of our starving to death.
We have plenty to eat, according
to the department, and then some
to spare. So cut ont your worry
ing.&
In statement issued this week
it was stated that the United States
was in no danger of food shortage
despite the enormous exports to
Europe.
The surplus of wheat, above do
mestic needs, on hand February l,
the statement said, would permit
the expectation of nearly 100000
bushels daily-about the recent
avelage-untll the new crop is
available. Moreover, there were
larger supplies of corn ard other
grain, meat animals, dairy products,
potatoes and fruit at the opening of
1915 thanafor many years.
incidentally, it was pointed out
that the average price of meat ami
mails was Z per cent lower in Janu-
ary than year ago; butter 2 per
cent; potatoes 35 per cent; apples,
81 per cent, and the price of chick
ems slightly lower.
ssThe 1914 wheat crop of the
United States was estimated to be
ssl, 100000 bushels, I" said the state
menl. THE estimated surplus car
ried over from the 1913 crop was
76, 100000 bushels making a total
available supply of 967,000,0oo
bushels. As the normal annual per
capita consumption of wheat in the
United States is about o.3 bushels,
100000, 900 bushels should meet
our normal domestic requirements
for food, so,ooo,oCo bushels are re-
quired annually for seeding, there
fore 100000, 900 should supply the
normal domestic demand. This
would leave a surplus of 357,000,-
900 bushels. Of this surplus about
2l0,OO0,O00 bushels were exported
by January 80. This left r47,O0o,-
600 bushels or 10000 bushels more
than our average annual export for
the past five years for exports be-
tween February / and the appear
ance Of the new crop or for carry
ing over into the next crop year.
The statement adds that the, acre
age of winter wheat sown In Den
mark. Italy, Switzerland. United
Kingdom, United States: India and
Canada shows an increase of from 3
to 33 per cent.
But suppose a shortage in wheat
should develop in the next three
months, what would be the situa-
ton? the departmentaske There
is a great surplus in other food
crops in the United States. a num-
Der of which can be used as substi-
tutes. The most important pro-
ducts are corn and potatoes. Nor
lnally about 8 per cent of the corn
crop is consumed as food. The po-
ta,o production in the United States
average 9.s bushels per capita. This
year the available supply is Al
bushels.
1t would seem that the United
States is not likely to be threatened
with a shortage of foodstuffs. y

BRING NEW INDICTMENT
Action Taken to Overcome Objections
Raised by New Haven Railroad
Defendants to Former Bill

New York, Feb. 27.-The federal
grand jury today returned suppressed
ing indictment against twenty.one di
rectors, former directors and counsel
Of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Company, charging
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. The indictment, similar to the
one returned last November, was
brought to overcome objections made
by certain defendants to the manner
in which the first indictment was
secured.
In the objections to the first in
dictment 1t was asserted that the
clerk of the district court, and not
his deputies, should have drawn the
name of the jurors. While these
objections were overruled on demur
rer by Judge Humphrey, 1t was de
cided to have new indictment re
turned so as not to give an appear
ance of unfairness on the part
the government against the defand
ants and also to avoid an appeal from
Judge Humphreys ruling.
