We are all at a danger point. On

1913 farm and garden operations de-
pends prosperity or our "going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!

to whether or not they would require
physicians certificate along with the
affidavit filed for a liquor permit, and
most of these officers stated in reply
that a certificate from a reputable
physician would be required. The Ad-
vertiser is pleased to state that Edge
fields probate judge has taken this
position, writing the editor of The
Record as follows:
Replying to your letter of Februa-
ry 81 it is my purpose to require
individuals applying to me for per-
mits to receive intoxicating liquors
for medicinal use aftel March 10 to
present to me prescription or certitl-
cate from a regular practicing ply
sician before issuing such permit. y
A vast majority of the right-think-
ing people of the county will stand by
Judge Kinnaird in the position he has
taken. Under the law intoxicating
liquors can be shipped into the State
for medicinal purposes only. There
fore, the few citizens who will actual
ly need whiskey for medicine should
not mind first applying to their family
physician for a prescription, just as
they would do for numerous other
medicines. Judge Kinnaird has adopt
ed the right course and public senti-
ment is overwhelmingly with him.
In this connection it is interesting to
note the position that the physicians
have taken in Newberry county. Fiji
teen doctors have stated in signed
card published in the Newberry OBJ
server that they "will when it is prop
er prescribe liquor for medicinal use
to our respective patients when actual
ly in our care, but no one of US will
issue certificates to any other patient
than his own"
If the doctors in this county adopt
the same policy, an individual can pro-
cure a prescription from his family
physician only. They will not be is
sued indiscriminately. The physicians
of this county would be relieved of
much annoyance, if they would publish
similar statement.

Golden Opportunity For Editors.

DR.. w. S. Currel', president of the
University of South Carolina, and Mr..
August Kohn, one of the trustees OF
the University, acting with a commit.
tee composed of William Banks, Joe
Sparks and J. L. Minis appointed from
the South Carolina Press association,
will arrange for an Institute at the
University for the especial benefit of
the editors of South Carolina. The
time has not yet been decided upon
but the Institute will very probably be
held some time in May.
Following the plan adopted and sue
cessfully carried out by the University
of North Carolina last summer, for
three days. with probably two or three
sessions each day, lectures will be de-
livered by some of the strongest men
who can be secured. Themes will be
selected that will be especially helpful
to newspaper makers. The Institute
will be sort of school for editors, car
rying them back to the days when
they attended classes in college. This
will be no play or pastime but real
work for all who attend. There will
be social side, however, and the
mingling together for several days of
the editors from all parts of the State
on the University campus will be at
tended by much genuine pleasure.
1t is the purpose of the University
to furnish entertainment in the dormi-
tories for the editor-students, relieving
them of the expense ordinarily con-
nected with a stay of three days in the
capital city 1t is hoped that the news
paper men throughout the State will
give the Institute their hearty support
to the end that it be made decided
success

Adequate Supply of Nitrate Of
Soda.

While in the office of Senator E.
ID. Smith il Washington Friday
morning, the writer asked him as to
whether or not in his judgment
farmers would receive an adequate
supply of nitrate of soda through
government aid, and he replied,
with emphasis and with enthusiasm,
that the government will purchase all
that the farmers will need. The
slO,O0o,OOO which Senator Smith
was instrumental in having app-o-
priated for this purpose will be
used continuously to purchase nj
trate of soda for agricultural pur-
poses. As soon as the first allot-
ment or shipment is paid for by
farmers the money will be re-
invested in soda by the government,
and this course pursued until the
need is fully supplied. Senator
Smith stated that he has told the
men who are charged with provid-
ing ships for transporting the soda
from South America that if they dc
not provide ships for this purpose
that there will not be sufficient
food made for shipping abroad next
year to our soldiers and European
Allies.
While Senator Smith has labored
INCREASINGLY for the agricultural in
terests since he was elected to the
senate, yet none of his achieve
ments or efforts in their behalf will
be of so great direct benefit as will
this act of providing au adequate
supply of soda in crisis like the
present. The tiller of the soil, ow-
ing to the acuteness of the labor sit
uation and the high cost of living,
must realize a maximum harvest
from minimum acreage, and
nothing else will contribute so much
to this end as that indispensable ele-
ment of plant food, nitrogen. We
feel confident that the scheme work
ed out by Senator Smith will accom-
plish the desired end.

A ATWICE-TOLD TALE.
One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated
to believe it at first hearing, we feel
secure in accepting it's truth now.
The following experience of an
Edgefeld woman is confirmed after
three years.
Mrs. E. P. Jackson, Cedar Row,
Edgefeld, says: II suffered greatly

cot so bad that / could hardly get

sore and lame and loss of sleep

Spring Term of Court.

The spring term of the court of
general sessions convened Monday
morning with Hon. l. w. Bowman
Of Orangeburg as presiding Judge.
Judge Bowman has conducted court
here before, and is very pleasantly
remembered by Edgefeld friends.
His charge to the grand jury was
able, practical, forceful. He stress
ed at length the importance Of prop.
erly supporting the public school,
and also impressed the grand jurors
with the obligation resting upon
them in the matter of law enforce
ment. Judge Bowman's charge had
wholesome effect upon the large
number of citizens assembled in the
court room as we'll as upon the
grand jury.
The solicitor soon after the con-
vening of court handed out the in
dictments, and they were promptly
passed upon by the grand jury.
The first case to go to the jury was
that of Robert McKie, colored, in
dicted fol murder. He was defended
by Capt. Evans and the State was
represented by Solicitor Thinner
man. A verdict of guilty" with
recommendation to the mercy of
the court was rendered, but this
morning the court granted a motion
for new trial.
The next case called was that of
w. p. Roof, indicted for obtaining
money under false pretenses, it be-
ing alleged that he received money
on deposit in his private bank,
knowing at the time that he was in
solvent. This case was brought
over from Lexington county under
change of venue. Mr.. Roof was &C
quilted. The State was represented
by S. McG. Simkins, E. L. Asbill
and Solicitor Zimmerman, and the
defendant was represented by j.
VIM. Tburmond, P. A. Bonham of
Greenville and G.. T. Graham of
Lexington.
George Hammond pleaded guilty
to the charge of house breaking and
was given term of seven months
in the penitentiary.
The grand jury made it formal
report Tuesday afternoon and was
discharged.
The case of John L. George, in.
dicted for killing locomotive engi-
neer A. R. Brown in Edgeteid sev-
eral weeks ago, has been set for
Friday. Among the counsel for de-
fecse = this case d7e Ex-Gov. J. G.
Sheppard, Ex-Gov. G. L. Blease and
S. Nj. Smith.
As several civil cases have been
settled, there will be no term of the
court of common pleas in March.
Therefore petit jury for the third
week will not be needed. Several
criminal cases will be disposed of
next week. The March term of court
will not be as long as it was expect
ed that it would be some time ago.
This is we'll, for the farmers are
needed at home and prefer to be
there than in the court room.

Urged Definite Announcement
as to Drafted Men.


Realizing how seriously handi-
capped and embarrassed are hun
dreds of our farmers, due to the un-
certainty as to when the registrants,
both white and colored, in Class l
will be ordered to the training
camps, and realizing the great need
of definite announcement from the
government in order that farmers
may know how to plan for making
crop, the writer, as chairman Of
the local board, set about while in
Washington last week to enlist the
active cooperation of men who were
in a position to bring things to pass.
We stated the case to Senator Till
man who is very busy man and
went thence to Congressman Byrnes,
who at once called up the office of
the Provost Marshall General to
learn when and what per cent. of
registrants will next be ordered out.
The reply was rather indefinite
owing to certain contingencies. 1t
was stated that men must be ready
to go overseas as rapidly as trans
ports can be provided and that re-
cruits must be placed in training
camps as rapidly as seasoned men
are ordered abroad. Mr.. Byrnes re-
allied the seriousness of the situa-
tion manifested a willingness and
eagerness TO give every possible aid
in relieving the situation.
The next stop was at the office of
Senator <. D. Smith, who fills a
large place in congressional activi-
ties. He made an appointment at
the White House with President
Wilson for Monday afternoon to
present the matter to him. 1t was
his purpose to urge the President to
recommend to congress that all ag-
ricultural labor be held back until
crops could be made. Senator Smith
expressed the BELIEF that if President
Wilson would do this an act would
pass congress without opposition.
The next call was upon Congress
man Lever who is chairman of the
great Agricultural Committee and
who likewise has labored unceasing-
ly for the development of agricul-
ture in all parts of the country. He
had already become interested in
this matter and gave attentive ear to
our presentation of the matter stress
ing the imperative need of immedi-
ate relief.
After laying the matter before
Mr.. Lever, impressing him with the
seriousness of the situation, he die
tated in our presence the following
letter to Col. Hugh S. Johnson, dep
uty provost marshall general:
II wish again to call your atten-
ton to tie farm labor situation due
to the uncertainty in the minds of
the men who have been classified,
not knowing just when they are to
be called into the training camps.
You will understand that the
farmer must now, right now, begin
his crop, especially in the South.
He must make his arrangements for
fertilizer; he must begin his spring
planting and do all things necessary
TO pitch his crop. Many of these
young men, am Informed by relia.
BILE people, are so unsettled as to
what may be expected of them that
they cannot in Justice to themselves
begin crop. 1t seems to me that
it is of the most vital importance
that your office should make,
promptly, some announcement as to
when these men are to be expected
in order that the labor situation may
find ITSELF"
