Should Be Profoundly Grateful.

The people of Edgefeld, town and
county, should be profoundly CRATE
full for escaping thus far from the
scourge in the form of Span
ish influenza that has been visited
upon many TOWNS in this state. We
have before us q county paper which
contains notices Of 10 deaths from
influenza. While a number Ut people
here and elsewhere in the county
have fallen victims of the disease,
only a few cases of which we have
heard have been severe. Thus far,
if we are correctly infol ned, not a
death has occurred in Edgetleld coun-
ty. Surely we have much to be thank
full for.

No Court Next Week.

On account of the Spanish infu-
enza which has rapidly spread prac-
tically over the entire country, the
court of General Sessions which was
to convene next Monday, October
FL has been called off and all witness
es and jurors are notified not to ap-
pear as summoned. 1t is probable
that the Court of Common Pleas will
convene Monday, October 2S, but
that will be definitely decided a lit

epidemic has been checked will de-
termine whether the civil court will
be held at the usual time.

Death of CoIored Soldier.

colored soldier from the camp. Block
er resided on the farm of Mr.. John
Henry Parkman on the west side.
The government paid all expenses in

Wheat Production Greatly In
creased.

Mr. Herbert G. Edison, proprietor
of the Johnston Roller Mills, was in
Edgefeld Monday and upon being
asked how the present grinding sea-
son has been with him, he replied
that during the entire season a year
ago he ground 5000 bushels Of
wheat and that up to this time he has
already ground $4,000 bushels and
confidently expects. to grind 10000
bushels before the season closes, This
indicates that formers are growing
wheat 81 larger quantities. The acre
age this fall in Edgefeld county will
doubtless be the largest on record.

eve Never Sleep"

The hardest worked man in Edge
field county is Mr.. Roger L. Hill. He
has given from the day the season
opened, his personal attention to his
ginnery from the earliest hours OF
dawn until practically midnight.
Sometimes we are of the opinion that
he never sleeps. Frequently the last
sound that falls upon u ears be-
fore retiring to the Land of Nod IS
Mr.. Hills ginnery and the first sound
in the morning (even earlier than
some of the chickens) is Mr.. Hills
ginnery. When city drug stores re-
main open all night to serve their
patrons they sometimes set out this
advertisement: eve never sleep"
So it is with Mr.. Hills ginnery. In
his persistent effort to give his per-
sonal attention to every detail, to
the end that all patrons receive sat
isfactory service, we do not believe
he ever sleeps.

The Most Interesting Reading.


Doubtless SO per cent. of The Ad-
vertiser's readers will tell you that
the most intensely interesting matter
in the paper every week is the let
tiers from our soldier boys in France
and in training camps in the home
land. On our second and third pages
this week will be found II letters
from ours boys in uniform and each
one represents some different phase
of camp and army life. We already
have several letters for next week,
being carried over as they reached
US too late for this issue. They will
appear next week. Whenever you re-
eeive a letter from a son, brother or
friend in uniform send it to The Ad-
vertiser, so other relatives and
friends over the county can like
wise enjoy reading it. "Breathes
there a man with soul so dead" that
he is not stirred by the personal let
ters from the boys who are fighting
for loved ones on this side of the
seas-brave boys who would not re-
turn home, if they could, until their
work is finished, that of stamping
out Prussian militarism. Yes, send
us the letters so we can spread them
before the people of every section
of the county every week.

Work of the Local Board.

The board has been busy Tor some
time classifying registrants between
the ages of 10 and So inclusive, and
have about completed the great task.
Classification cards were not mailed
out, however, as promptly as as they
were to the 1917 registrants because
the board had not received the Order
Numbers from Washington in time
to mail the cards to registrants as
soon as they were classified. The or
der numbers have now been given
to all registrants and in a few days
classification cards will be sent to
all of the men between Is and 81
years.
The board has, acting under or
ders from Washington, proceeded
with the physical examinations i'm
mediately following c~lassifications.
About so men have been notified to
come to the Office of the board to-
morrow for examination and about
the same number will appear Friday.
The board has a call for 10 white
men to be entrained for Camp Wads-
worth, Spartanburg, at 6:55 A. M.
Tuesday, October %, and they have
been notified to appear at the office
of the board for final examination
and roll call Monday afternoon, Oc-
