ga rEOrLE AXE ACTIVE
There has been some activity in the
oil business the last few days in that
the outfit which will sink well on
the John L. Boles farm is being
moved to the location. There were
three cars of the equipment, and a
great amount of the material, for the
rig to be moved.
There has been considerable talk
about another drill being started in
the country north Of the city several
miles. 1t is announced that another
company is becoming interested in
determining what is to be found on
heir leases.
The Beaver Oil & Gas company be-
gan offering stock this week and the
statesmen report excellent success.
Some literature was published by tn 8
Office this week and the sales will be
pushed from now on. 1t is expected
that the company will be able at an
early date to start drill on the COM
pany's holdings. The men behind the
enterprise feel thatythey have a good
chance if the geologists have the sit
uation in hand, and from the fields
in other localities the geologist ap-
peared to have found the oil and gas.

JOHN scHMITT BUYS FARM

John Schmitt, who perhaps is about
the best known extensive farmer in
this section, bought one of the high
est priced half-sections of land ever
sold in the vicinity Of Liberal, this
week. The land is the last Of the
tract, which to the old-timer is known
|as the Snyder ranch, five miles north
West Of the city. During the last few
hears, Mr. Schmitt has been leasing
: part of this old ranch from John W.
Baughman. 1t was there that he
started the tractor to work and be-
came pioneer in the work Of break
ing hundreds Of acres of the buffalo
grass. He raised large crops Of wheat,
kafir and maize and in single season
produced more than twenty thousand
bushels Of grain. With his farming
he handled large herd Of cattle and
made large shipments of hogs each
season.
Some time ago, Mr.. Baughman be-
gan selling of portions Of the ranch

and fearing that someone might beat
him to the portion he was holding
under lease, Mr.. Schmitt bought. the
tract, and will Immediately begin the
construction of barn and make
other improvements to have a model
farm. On the other lands that he
owns he will continue to run small
herd of cattle and other stock. He
will reside on the Snyder tract that
he may be near school and be within
easy distance to the good markets Of

IT'S ALL ABOUT BONDS

The readers of the Democrat will
note a concerted effort made in this
issue to push the sales of the War
Savings Stamps. The appearance of
the paper is the idea Of Mr.. C. E,
Woods, cashier of the First National
bank and county chairman of the
Liberty Bond Sales committee. He
has been making a great effort to get
the fact before the people that the
sales of the bonds are very necessary,
and he visited every business house in
the city and made the request that
each business house use its space in
the papers to help advertise the sale
Of the Baby Bonds. How successful
he was is shown by the ads in this
issue. Mr.. Woods is doing great
work as chairman of the Bond Sales
committee and there are few towns
in the state that viii show the unity
of purpose, the stay-together idea
the patriotic spirit that is shown by
the business people of Liberal.

The National Prohibition Scores.

The'submission to the States of the
national prohibition amendment to the
constitution has been approved by the
senate judiciary committee. Give the
people an opportunity and they will
adopt the amendment by an over
whelming majority. The dispensary
was better than the open barroom; the
gallon-a-month law was better than a
county dispensary; the quart-a-month
law is better than the gallon-a-month
law. But none-a-month, for beverage
purposes, as will be the case under ma
tional prohibition, will be vastly better
than a quart-a-month. The nation has
for several years been approaching the
coveted goal step by step, and the sub
mission of the constitutional amend
ment will enable US to reach it by n
bound.

Registration Facts and Figures.


Practically everybody is m~anifesting
the keenest interest IN the rules that
are now being formulated in Washing
ton governing the drafting for and ex-
enption from military service. The
announcement has bsen made that
these matters will5be handled entirely
by local boards-probabIy new boards
altogether-under we'll defined regula-
tons issued by thesWar Department.
1t is gratifying to Governor Man.
ming, also to the county boards and
registrars throughout the State, that
South Carolina was amongHthe first to
make a complete report of registration
to the Provost Marshal in Washington.
The total number who registered in
this State were 127, 534, of which
go, 629 were white and g., 906 were
negroes. There were also 447 aliens
and So alien enemies who registered
but were not reported in the total. Of
the whites who registered, 40, 555 asked
for exemption, and A, S3l negroes gave
grounds for exemption.

ship of the house in the person of Hon.
N. G. Evans. There are already two
other avowed aspirants and it is proba-

Mr.. Evans is we'll qualifi ed for the du-
ties of this position and the people of
Edgefield must leave nothing undone
that will contribute to his election
when the Legislature convenes in Janu-
airy. Should this honor fall to the lot
of this worthy son, Edgeield county
v:vill likewise be honored. Let's leave
nothing undone that will contribute to
the strength of Mr.. Evansin the house

Velvet Bean Meal.

Harmful as they are, the people of
this section are indebted to the war
and the boil weevil for the velvet
beans. This cereal or grain or vegeta-
BILE, or whatever it is, has been grown
extensively in some parts of the coun-
try fora number of years but it has
never been able to gain admission into
this cotton-bound section until the
boil weevll menace and high price of
f~oodstuifs, rs a result of the war,
made it necessary for farmers to grow
food for man and beast on the farm.
A large acreage has been planted in
Edgefeld county and throughout South
Carolina, end we feel confident, from
what we have seer and read of the vel
vet bean, that all who have planted
these comparatively new beans will be
we'll paid. Considering the food valu e
of both stalk and grain, together with
the increased fertility of the soil, there
is no better crop of the kind to be
found anywhere. The ground beans
or meal makes a very strong and very
desirable feed.
In this connection it is pleasing to
note that a former Edgefield young
man, who is now one of the foremost
business men of Columbia is installing
a plant for grinding velvet beans into
meal. The following is from Mondays
issue of the Columbia Record:
"Mr. B. R. Cooner, president of the
Adluh Milling company, has recently
let contracts for machinery for a plant
to grind velvet beans into a very salts
factory stock feed. The machinery
alone in the new plant will cost more
than $4,000. The value of the plant
can be seen at once from the govern
ment estimates which place the num-
Der of acres in this State which are
planted in the velvet bean this year at
!, 1000, 900 with an estimated yield of
], 200, 900 TONS"

The Pernicious Cigarette.

That cigarettes are a menace to
American manhood is disclosed by the
large number of cigarette smokers
who fail to pass the physical examina-
ton when they volunteer for service in
the army end navy. Very few young
men smoke cigarettes in moderation.
There is something in the paper or to-
bacco of which cigarettes are made
that causes the victim to smoke more
aud more. The beginning is made with
two or three cigarettes a day. Later
a package is required to satisfy the
craving that is produced, and later
still, after the victim becomes en-,
thralled, several packages must be
smoked each day.
1t is needless to go into the why and

THAT MORNING LAMENESS

If you are lame every morning,
and suffer urinary ills, there must
be a cause. Often it's weak kid

kidneys and avert more serious
troubles, use Doan's Kidney Pills.

Mrs. G. T. Padgett, Edgefeld,
says: My back ached and panied
all the time. In the morning when

that | could hardly bend over. I
tired easily and it was an effort for
me to do my homework. l also
had headaches aud dizzy spells and

wherefore of the injury caused by
smoking cigarettes. Apparently help
less victims are seen on every hand,
and so evident are the injurious eff
fects of cigarette smoking or boys

the numerous tragedies in the form of
distorted and wrecked lives, is alto

Mrs. j. H. Cantelou Entertains
in Honor of Miss Dunovant.

One Of the most delightful of the
many>entertainments given in honor
Of MISS Sallie Dunovant was a linen
shower on Thursday afternoon at
the home Of Mrs. j. II. Cantelou,
whose hospitality has been pro-
verbal even from childhood days
when her sainted mother kept open
house to her large circle of friends
and lavished love and kindness on
those around her in true Southern
style.
On this happy occasion about
thirty-fve Young people composing
the bridal party and friends were
present. The entire lower floor of
the house was en- suite and beauti-
fully decorated, yellow being the
chosen color in the hall and dining
room while the parlor was a veri-
table bower of pink roses with a
specially arranged chair for the be-
loved guest of honor.
While her friends were greeting
her, a tiny soldier in United States
regulation khaki uniform in the
person Of little Ned Nicholson
marched in and gave the COM
mand, attention" He was follow
ed by two of the loveliest Red
Cross nurses that Edgefeld has
ever seen, Winks Bailey and JAMIE
Edwards, both dressed in white and
wearing flowing white wells draped
from their faces and adorned with
the Red Cross emblem. In their
arms they carried packages Of all
shapes and sizes which proved not
to De bandages and dressings but
beautiful lingerie made by loving
hands as gifts of love to their girl
friend so soon to enter into the
married state.
A contest of questions on litera'
ture, geography, history and art
evidenced the fact that Edgefeld
girls are well versed in those
