After Three Years.
Edgefield Testimony Remains
Unshaken.

Time is the best test of truth.
Here is an Edgetield story that has
stood the test of time. 1t is story
with a point which will come
straight home to many of US.
Mrs. E P Jackson, Cedar Row,
Edge6eld, says: Il suffered greatly
from a weak and lame back which
became SO bad that I could hardly
get around. Ny sides and hips also
got sore and lame and loss of sleep
made me weak and exhausted.
Doan's kidney pills rid me of the
attack" Statement given April IL,
l9ll.) Has used Doan's since.
Over three years later Mrs. Jackson
said: "My back or kidneys seldom
trouble me now but when they do,
Doan's kidney pills always give me
quick relief"
Price 500, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's kidney pills-the same
that Mrs. Jackson has twice public
ly recommended. Foster-Milburn

Conditions Improving in Charleston.

Some months ago, as will be recall
ed, the grand jury of Charleston re-
fused to find a true bill against any
persons indicted for violating the dis
pensary law. But the same grand
jury has this week returned S5 true
bills out of about 40 indictments. This
shows a marked improvement. Evi-
dently public sentiment is stronger for
law enforcement in Charleston. Then.
too, the efforts Of Governor Manning
to improve conditions in Charleston are
bearing fruit. Let US hope that con-
ditions will continue to improve. Just
what the future has in store for Char
lesion depends largely upon the result
of the municipal campaign that is now
on. The present mayor is a candidate
for reelection and if he is chosen, we
need not expect any great improve
ment. But if the other aspirant, Capt.
T. T. Hyde, who represents the peo-
Pile of the city who stand for law and
and order, is elected, continued i'm
provement will result.

Miss Annie CHARLES of Edgefeld

We are profoundly panied to re-
port the death of our beloved friend,
Mr.. G. w. Wood, Jr., who had
lived in our community all his life
until a few years ago he went to
Millen, Ga, where he has made
many friends. Mr.. Wood was
stricken with typhoid fever only a
a short time ago and all that loving
hands could do was done to save
his life, but God knew best.
1t is the order of nature that
death shall come to all, and though
we think it hardship, the inevita-
BILE should be accepted as the will
of Him who is wise beyond our un-
derstanding. George was laid to
rest in Red Hill cemetery by the
side of his brother, Alvin, who had
preceded him only six weeks. Our
deepest sympathy goes out to his
wife, father, brothers and sisters.
May each one receive strength from
God to bear their loss with loving
and trusting hearts.

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 credit.
But now the stored cotton is not SO.
helpless. Owners are in a 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.

MIR. Fowler Writes Again on
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 1850 autos using our
county roads. These automobiles
from the outside represent to some
extent pleasure 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
Piles, with their wives and even with
their competitors. They come on
the best roads and where the best
roads-even of our bad ones-iead
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 go 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?

weevil 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 ard South Carolina have
been warned time and time again of
the coming of the weevil but the hum
dreds 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
anany 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
win reach South Carolina in four or
Eve 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 a greater extent. Plant crops
that are immune from the intruder.

Our Trenton Correspondents
Pays Mrs. 11RyanssssBeautiful
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
az 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 a 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, Mesdames 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 we'll!
Gods sweetest seraphs guard thee
tenderly,
Till to thy precious dust the words
be said
Awake the day breaks and the
shadows flee.

Swea City, Sept. 27.-Joseph NJ. Dye
returned Saturday from a corn inspec-
ton trip thru Kossuth, Emmett and
Dickinson counties, and his report is
that after a comparative investigation,
of ten average fields of corn, in each Of
the counties of Kossuth, Emmett and
Dickinson, there is on an average Of
70 per cent of the corn in each field
out Of the way Of frost. Ten ears were
taken promiscously from each Of the
fields, and the estimate taken from
that. The best fields were not Sc
lected and neither were the poorest
fields taken, but an attempt was made
to select an average field. Some fields
were visited that every ear of corn was
out of the way Of frost, but samples
were not taken from such fields. Ten
more days Of weather such as the year
1915 has demonstrated to us that we
may expect, will put our corn crop on
the 80 per cent basis of all corn
planted. The investigation was made
in the interest Of eastern capitalists.
