MIR. Ree-e Writes From Florida
Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:
received my first copy of The Adj
vertiser yesterday and | certainly was
glad TO get it. 1t made me feel like |
was up on the old hill reading it, but
when | looked out of my window be-
hold there was the Gulf of Mexico to
be seen and not my hill and the little
grand children that | have looked up
on thousands of times in the past. A
man can be 700 miles from home and
reading his home paper makes him
forget for the time being that he is
so far away from loved ones.
Well, | don't know of anything
special that will interest you people
only 10 say the people here are too
lazy to work. This country is very
poor because the vegetation never
dies it is so warm down here. | can
show you Castor bean that is ten
years old and it is growing right on.
a great many people were at the
meeting yesterday in their shirt
sleeves. There is a good meeting be-
ing conducted here at the Southern
Methodist church and in the park on
Sunday afternoon. The Salvation
Army is also doing Il good work for
this city.
am still working every day but
| don't know how long it will be be-
fore some Yank will say, well, !
will have to lay you off for few
DAYS so as to take care of some YAM
kee brother"
Well, hope that if l ever get back
to Edgefie!d there will be a great
change in some things that were go-
ing on. The country people thought
the boil weevil was fraud, but ah.
too late Some people thought God
had nothing TO do with farms, mer-
chants and banks. The people are
now undoubtedly satisfied that some
power has shown itself. The cotton
question is off over there and it may
prove blessing There are no hard
time here because there are not ten
acres of cotton in the county. Nobody
is hard up here who is willing to
work. He will live but it is the high
est place to live in you ever saw.
String beans are higher here than
they are Edgefeld. The beans here
are shipped to Edgefeld They sell
here for l5 and 20 cents per pound.
Good luck to the Old Advertiser
family.

"High Finance" I"

Not in our twenty years of news
paper experience have we published
an article which provoked as much
comment as did the article by High
Finance" which appeared in The Ad-
vertiser last week. At least more in
quilies and more comment, nine
tenths of which Was favorable, reach
ed us through various sources con-
corning the article than we recall
ever TO have heard before. 1t was
well written, with thread of IRONY
running through it that most people
discemed and we're impressed by it,
and it was written, too, at a time
when the public mind felt the force
of the statements, which though made
in irony contained more than a mod
icum of real truth. 1t made a deep
impression upon many readers, sew
eral representative farmers having
stated that they were glad the article
appeared in print at this time. Scores
have been curious to know its author.
Some placed it at the editors door,
Others inquired if Northern man
wrote it and still others desired to
know whether it was written by l
Democrat or a Republican. The au-
thro, a true blue Democrat, was born,
reared and still lives in Edgcfield
county and has the best interests of
all the people at heart, particularly
the farming interests. Possibly he
will write other articles for publ
cation. We hope so.
