Mr.. Fowler Writes Again or
Good Roads.

Editor The Advertiser There
are some $50 autos owned and reg
istered in Edgefeld county. There
are probably four times as many
more or a thousand annually enter
ing the county from the outside,
making SOME ,s25O autos using our
county roads. These automobiles
from the outside represent to some
extent sspleasure seekers but TO an
overwhelming degree they repre-
sent business.
The number of commercial trav-
elers now dong their work on auto
is amazing and constantly more
amazing. They come with their sam
pies, with their wives and even with
their competitors. They come on
the best roads and where the best
roads-even of our bad ones-lead
there they take business. In good
weather they are reaching the in
nermost business corners of the
county, those cross roads store cor
ners that were too far off to justify
frequent livery expense. When bad
weather and worse roads come to
stay, they, like the swallows, fly not
that way.
The commercial travellers autos
are great forces for letting the
light into dark corner. The extent
to which the commercial travellers
autos will help will depend partly
on the invitation of business but
much more on invitation of broad
and easy road that does not lead to
destruction.
We heard some commercial trav-
elers at the hotel at Mccormick the
other day after having a good din
ner ask some of their fellows for
that broad and easy road to Angus
ia. They were told by their friends
to go by such and such places on
the other side of the Savannah, on
no account to 60 by the straight
and narrow bumpty-bump and des-
tructive road through Edgefeld
county.
So we see that the business inter
ests of Edgefeld county are waiting
for good roads. The comfort of her
own autoists is measurably her
good roads and as Mr.. w. S. Mid
dleton has shown you her land val
ues are waiting for good roads.
When shall we have them?
w. w. Fowler.

Our Trenton Correspondent!
Pays Mrs. SSRyanssssBeautiful
Tribute.

1t was eventide on Sunday when
the gentle spirit of Mrs. Corrie
Ryan quietly and serenely passed
into the great beyond to enjoy the
blessings that await the pure in
heart" For more than a year her
suffering had been intense, but she
bore it with calmness and resig-
nation truly wonderful and while
her death was not unexpected, still
it brought none the less sorrow aud
sadness to those who loved her, and
that included everybody for her
life had been full of deeds of gen.
erosity, kindness, charity and use
fulness to her friends and neighbors
alike. and it is but natural that they
should sigh for the voice that is
hushed. But it is in the home circle
around the freside that her loss will
be more keenly felt, for her record
as wife and mother has always been
of the highest, tenderest and most
beautiful and what comfort it
must be to her desolate and heart
broken children to know that they
have always, and particularly since
her widowhood and during her
suffering and sickness, watched over
her so patiently, so lovingly. Mrs.
Ryan was devoted member of
Ebenezer church and her pastor who
conducted the burial service spoke
beautifully of her conversation with
him concerning her approaching
death of which she was conscious.
She was ready-but regretted to be
separated from those whom she
loved. She is survived by two sis
ters, Mrs. Robinson and Miss Re-
becca Swearingen, two brothers,
Messrs. John and James Swearingen
and her children, Mesdanles Reuben
Kyle, B. J. Howard, Misses Ida
and Margie Ryan and Messrs. Jabe,
E. L., Wise and Willie Ryan. To
these sorrowing and bereaved ones
we tender our deepest sympathy.
Our departed friend sleeps in the
Ebenezer church yard by the side
other devoted husband, who pre-
ceded her to the grave several years
ago.
Sleep on beloved one, sleep well!
Gods sweetest seraphs guard thee
tenderly,
Till to thy precious dust the words
be said
Awake the day breaks and the
shadows flee.

Cheap Money Helps.

Except for the arrangement that
provides cheap money with which to
finance the stored cotton, the state
warehouse system would be of small
Importance. The people who wanted
the cotton would rest assured that it
would have to come out as soon as the
owners ran short Of cash and cradit.
But now the stored cotton is not so
helpless. Owners are in position to
hold almost indefinitely and the pres
ence of cheap money helps the price
whether the cheap money is actually
used or not Yes, it is the cheap money
that has been the ten-strike in the sit
uation. -Yorkville Enquirer.

Weeyil Marching Through Georgia.

A decade or more ago the boil weevil
began its work in Texas, travelling
eastward year by year. The farmers
of Georgia and South Carolina have
been warned time and time again of
the coming of the weevil but the hun
Sreds of miles that interviewed gave
them a feeling of security. Long be-
fore they expected to fall victims OF
the pest, Georgia farmers are already
graphing with the weevil. The recent
storms in the southwest are supposed
TO have driven the weevil eastward
many months before it would, in its
normal progress, have reached that
section.
Now what we desire to say is to ut
ter another warning to farmers in this
section. If we are to judge the fu-
ture by the past, taking into account,
too. the habits of the boil weevil, it
viii reach South Carolina in four or
five years, or possibly in a shorter
time. Just what damage will be
wrought by the pest no one can yet
tell, but it behooves cotton growers of
this section to be ready for the invad-
ing enemy.
The first thing to be done is to diver
sify to greater extent. Plant crops
that are immune from the intruder.

Concerning Cotton Grades.

Of course every politician in this
state is in favor of Senator Smith 8
bill securing the Standardization of cot
ton grades. All of them think it is a
good thing for the farmer.
The only way this can be of the full
est benefit to the farmers is for the
state legislature to force it's adoption
in South Carolina. Up to this time it
has not been done. Strange, is it not;
but it is a good thing for the farmers,
is it?-Orangeburg Times and Demo
