Now, the part you have taken in
promoting the proposed hotel for
Edgefeld will test whether you are
a GOOD CITIZEN OR NOT. Are you
pulling your own weight or are you
tagging behind, doing as little as pos

his own share of the load and yours
too? We have score of citizens who
are ABLE but NOT WILLING to
PULL THEIR SHARE of the weight.
Better losen up and become public
spirited rather than dwarf through
more and more selfshness. Money
that is boarded for selfshends will
in time-in the next generation, if
not in this-burn the boarding
hands. 1t will prove curse rather
than blessing.
Edgefeld NEEDS A NEW HO-

Ready Pistol Should Go.

Having outlawed the bottle, let's
concentrate upon the pistol. While it
was outlawed years ago, yet we still
have the unlawful pistol with US.
There is geat need of stronger pub
lie sentiment against carrying con-
'cealed deadly weapon. The pistol will
go when the people decide that it
shall go. The ready pistol has caused
the unwarranted shedding of human
blood times without number. 1t is
generally the cowardly, irresponsible
fellow who carries pistol on his per-
son. A truly brave man does not feel
the need of such protection, if lug
ging pistol around with you be any
protection. Let's by word upon word
and line upon line create sentiment
that will finally drive out the unlaw-

If Edgefeld fails to have COM
modious hotel, it will be because
few citizens failed to do their duty.
The Alabama. moonshiners who
seized several officers and are hold
ing them for ransom have compound
ed their crime.
The paterfamilias who has his
bunkers full of coal now realizes
that it pays to practice preparedness.
The very sharp advance in candy
is said to cause some of the young
swains to think much upon the "high
cost of loving"
The high cost of printing is caus-
ing the average publisher to lose
more sleep than the high cost of liv-
ing.
Instead of heralding the fact that
a cold wave is coming, it would be
much more welcome news to say
coal wave is headed this way.
Print paper, the kind The Adver-
tiser is printed on, is keeping pace
with cotton, the price being now
$3.50 per ton, plus the freight.
Since the government has recent
ly increased freight rates the man
who "pays the freight" these days
catches thunder and lightning.

The Greenwood paper announces
that "the local military company will

you wish Edgefeld had ''local

Next to Edgefeld's need for a
new hotel, is the need for more res

rented in Edgefeld before tomorrow
night.
The estate of the late tobacco
king, R. j. Reynolds, has been ap-

Dear Advertiser:
My long suffering correspondents
have had to put up with my from

enough 1t is twenty years and more
since l owned and used typewriter,
and now I am having to learn all
over again, especially since the ma

recently sent me. My friends will
doubtless feel grateful to him as l
do.
i Wife and I were much interested
to learn from the home papers that
the editor of The Advertiser had
been elected President of the Press
Association, and she very much ap-
preciated receiving some copies of
the Greenville papers. When I was
editing that little paper at Batesburg
while teaching to fulfill my Citadel
obligation, / was member of the
Press Association-and what
change in the personnel of the or

have intervened! Makes a fellow
realize how the years are passing.

P. S. We are both just out of the

The following article from the
Canton China Times has been receiv-

Lake:
China a Dumping Ground For
American Liquor.
The enactment OF prohibition
law in the United States and Canada
will affect Asia, especially China,
much more than is generally thought
Of China and other oriental coun-
tries of the Pacific will come to be, if
it is not yet, the dumping ground of
much of the liquor from the United
States and Canada.
The breweries and liquor interests
of America are now sending men
throughout the Orient to look into
the possibilities of the business here.
In Canton there arrived the other
day a representative of the British
Columbia Distillery Company, Mr..
M. McCideel who is travelling through
out the Orient for that purpose.
Other representatives of the liquor
interests are also busy making con-
nections in China and preparing for
the coming "boom.",
"The liquor trade possibilities in
China look good" remarked Mr.. Nc
Cideel to a Canton Times reporter
when interviewed yesterday at the
Asia Hotel. After visiting the city,
Mr.. >McCideel will go to Shanghai,
Tientsin, Peking and other cities and
then return to Vancouver, Canada.
His company will push their liquor
trade from northern Vladivostock
down to Calcutta. They specialize in
whiskey.
With regard to the extent the
American and Canadian liquor trade
is invading China may be CLEANED

Files Third Suit for
Divorce, Alleging "a
Long Years Of Cruelty

Samuel Goldsmith, a former sa-
loonkeeper, was sued for a divorce
yesterday in district court by his
wife, Lillian May Goldsmith, on
charges of extreme cruelty. She
asks for custody of their five chill
dren and an order keeping him from
interfering with her in her home,
1902 Dodge street.
She says his mistreatment of her
started right after their return from
their honeymoon in December, 1905,
and continued until October 18, 1919.
Once, she says, he struck and
choked her and she had to call
the police and have him arrested.
Twice before this, Mrs. Gold
smith filed suits for divorce against
her husband, once in 1908 and once
in 1917. Both suits were dismissed,
she says, for their children's sake
and because he promised to stop his
cruelty.
