tailed report of the game. Enthusiasm
rose TO a high pitch when, in the final
quarter. the Southerncrs checked the
Crimson advance, and took the ball on
downs from Harvard on the two-yard
line. The fact that most of Harvard's $
gains We're made through left tackle.
which was filled by substitute leads
to the belief that had Stuart heen in
his position the result world have been
quite different. Thurman's poor show
ing in the punting duel with Mahan
was due to the fact that early this
week the Nirginian was kicked on his
right leg. and had been kept out Of the
lineup for several days.

Buyers Seeking Cattle.

Farmers should not need additional
stimulus to cause them to engage more
largely in raising stock of a.ll kinds.
There is strong demand for good
stock the entire year. If the local
market does not afford a sufficient out
let, cooperative selling will bring buy
ers from distance. The daily papers
of Monday carried the announcement
that buyers from Richmond, Baltimore
and other places would visit Rock Hill,
Union and Greenwood to bid on large
lots of cattle. When cattle can be
offered for sale in sufficiently large
numbers to make it worth while for
dealers in large cities to send buy
er, then farmers will always get the
top of the market for their offerings.
The Advertiser urges cattle raising
on more extensive scale in this coun-
ty, and later cooperative selling can be
planned that will afford a profitable
outlet for every hog, sheep and COW
that is raised on the farm. We must
get out of the cotton habit and form
the stock raising habit. Stock raising
can be made profitable right here in
Edgefeld county.

Product of Lax Law Enforcement.


Thursday night three stores in Pine
wood, Clarendon county, were robbed.
In order to apprehend the criminal,
MIR. Robbins, penitentiary guard and
State electrocutioner, was summoned,
with the request that his pack OF
bloodhounds be brought to the scene of
the robbery. The human sleuths at
once set upon trail which, when fol-
lowed, caused a negro to take a tree
some miles away. However, from this
point of vantage, the negro shot the
dogs, making it possible to reach a
swamp. Before reaching the swamp
he fired upon Mr.. Robbins, shooting
him from his horse. Being desperately
wounded, the officer was hurried to
Columbia to the hospital.
After the special officer was render
dered hors de combat, the sheriff's
posse continued the chase, surround
ed the swamp and killed the
negro who offered all resistance
possible. He was not only armed
with shutgun and two 3S-calibre pis-
tolls but wore breast plate of steel,
all of which indicated that he was a
criminal of the most vicious type.
lit will hardly be questioned that this
walking arsenal who stalked the earth
seeking property and human life to
devour was a product of the lax law
enforcementof the past few years. The
Staying of a useful and brave officer
by negro who was of far less value
to society than the dogs he shot from
the tree, makes ones blood boil with
righteous Indignation. Let us give
thanks every day that when officers
now apprehend such criminals, and the
courts send them to chaingangs and
penitentiary, they will stay there for
the full sentence, instead of being
turned loose upon society to again en-
ter upon career of crime.
Governor Manning boarded the train
as it passed Sumter and rode in the
baggage car with the mortally wound
ed man, who remarked to the chief
executive: Governor, was trying to
do my duty" His presence in the bag
gage car and his personal ministrations
to the wounded officers, show that
Governor Manning is heart and hand
with those who endeavor to enforce
law and to bring to justice those who
violate law.

people of Edgefeld, getting In per-
sonal touch with them and giving
them wholesome advice, will result in
real benefit to them. Rev. Walker
is an eloquent, forcefu) speaker and
can hold the attention of any audi
ence. He is an honor to race, and
will always be we'll received in
Edgefeld.
Rev. Walker was followed by
Rev. E. G. Bailey and Rev. ]. R.
Walker, both of whom endorsed
what he had said and expressed
themselves as delighted that they
had the opportunity of hearing his
address.
The leaders among the colored
people are to be congratulated upon
the splendid order and department
of the great throng. That so large
a number can come togethar for
an entire day without the slightest
disorder reflects credit upon the
colored people.
