To the Farmers and Other
Business People of Edge
field County.
NV dear Friends:

WY QedT rleHQS.
Having been elected President of
the Cotton Growers Association for
Edgefeld county, the duty devolves
upon me to organize the people of
this county for that association.
YOU are, no doubt, aware of the
great work already accomplished for
all classes of our citizens by that or
ganization: many who are not men,
bers have received untold benefits
from it.
The cotton grower must always
reckon with the host that seeks to
get his cotton below it's real value,
and only cooperation can protect
him. My opinion is, that hearty CO.
operation of the farmers, merchants,
bankers, professional and other bus
mess men in the South is necessary
to secure a fair and reasonable price
for cotton.
The farmer is too prone to let the
man in town do what should be done
for him; for, however willing pro-
fessional or business men may be to
assist the farmer in a fight for a

Superintendent of Education.

Mr.. w. w. Fuller announces his
candidacy for reelection as county
superintendent of education. He has
made the people of the county good
servant at the head of the education
al department and much of the real
progress that has been made in the
schools of the county is due to his
persistent efforts and readiness to
cooperate with the trustees, patrons
and tenchers in erecting new scholo
houses and otherwise improving the
school equipment over the county.
He, has left nothing undone that was
in his power to advance the educa-
tional interests of the county.

Forty cents OF fifty cents cotton
means prosperity for all classes of
our citizens, and 1 call upon one and
all to enlist in this great cause-each

A cotton grader is badly needed in
this county. The best way to market
cotton should be known to our citi-
zens and then much information
should be given, especially to our
farmers relative to their business.
Many farmers rely too much on their
muscle and not enough on thought
and reason to get the best results
from their business in furnishing
clothing for great part of the

BABooN PUT TO USEFUL TASK
As Shepherds, the Animals Are Said
to Develop Traits That Are
Almost Human.

have often wondered, remarks Mr..
w. G. Scully in the Atlantic Monthly.
why more balloons are not trained az
shepherds. The creatures invariably
develop an absorbing affection for any
young animals, human or other. that
are placed in their charge, and there
is Observation-Disclosures instance OF q
baboon taking charge of a motherlesa
Kafr infant, and guarding it night
and day for more than two years.
The simian foster parent performed
every necessary function except feed
ing the child.
Several balloons have been trained
as shepherds. In case that Mr.. Soul.
ly himself observed the baboOn had
charge of several hundred sheep. He
became passionately attached to the
members Of the flock, and remained
with them all day long at pasture and
brought them back to the corral In
the evening. His only fault as shep
herd was the outcome Of extreme So
licitude; if he heard the voices of wild
balloons in the distance at any time
of the day, he would at once collect
the sheep, and with every appearance
of the liveliest terror hurry them
home.

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huana Shan Created a Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
Is Tradition.

More than 300 years ago in the Ming
dynasty, a Buddhist priest named Pu
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhui hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making 1t a sacred
mountain. A journey to Picking and
an audience with the royal household
resulted in an appropriation of large
sums of money for developing this
fairyland of the gods. A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. 1t
was decorated with 1000 little Bud
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
CODA. The temple whose halls 1t
decked was christened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called Merciful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds of priests came to
the mountains, and there was period
of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built to the tops of all the important
peaks, and at least one temple was
erected far above the line of perennial
springs.
