In personal letter TO the editor
OF The Advertiser several days ago,
Col. Bailey had the following to
say of the record that the Edgetield
boys are making at the Bailey

missioned officers are 1dsetield

E. Morgan, is the highest ranking
lieutenant of them all. And Watson

not only for the boys, but for Edge
field county, for the entire military
department in our institution is run
strictly according to the United
States army regulations. Every ca.
Diet officer holds his position strictly
on his own merit, and the minute
he is found to be unworthy or in

Public Spirited Farmers.

The Advertiser commends most
heartily the citizens of the Brun-
son-Resl-Gilgal community for the
splendid service whicE they nave
rendered the people CT the county
by dragging the A5bevllle road
from Turkey Greek bridge down to
Mr. j. FL. Reel's home, near the in
corporate limits of the town OF
Edgetield. Not only was the leading
public road put in first- class condl-
zion by the orags, but the cross
roads or .neighborhood roads were
also improved. For three days five
heavy drags, drawn by six mules
ca ,h, were kept in operation. Heavy
weights were placed. upon the drags
which were set at angle, making it
possible to elevate the roads in the
centre very much as if a road scrape
had been used. Shuvels were car
ried along with the drags and the
deep ruts and low places that hold
the water were filled, thus making
this hurried working accomplish
permanent good. The men who con
tributed their time and teams for
this work are entitled to the sim
cere thanks of the travelling pub.

The whooping cough is all over
this community. We are afraid it
will cause some of our schools to
close before the term is ont. This
district, Moss No. %, has been di-
vided into 4 districts. Some were
very much opposed to it and did all
they could to defeat it by keeping
people from signing petitions for it.
AS a result of this division we get
from the State this year $4,000
instead of one hundred, the amount
we received last year.
The people of this community
made drags last week and dragged
the roads from Moultrie's mill to

Not Always Safe to "cuss''
Newspapers

Ii is not Il very safe proposition
to differ too radically from a news-
paper and "cuss' it ont, for there
will come time when the newspa-
per will be on the same side of some
proposition as yourself. We have
seen too many cases of people who
would get so furions with a newspa-
per for taking some stand, and af-
ter few months admit that they
were wrong. Then We have known
people to be at outs with the posi-
ton taken by u newspaper, and in
few months some other proposition
would come up and the newspaper
and the man who was so bitter
against it would then be on the same
side. OF course newspa per which
stands for something will have peo-
pie to differ from its position, but
we had rather have some Of the
people who read this newspaper take
the opposite side, if they differ rs
honestly as We do from them, for
then We shall know that We are do
ing something, and that we are con-
sidered d factor in the community.
so long as a newspaper stands for
those things which are true and
right, and is honest in Its convic-
tions, we do not think any great
harm can be done Andersen In
