Why Pretty Teeth
Are shown everywhere today

Look about you. Note how many teeth now
glisten- Note how people show them as they never
did before.
Millions of people are brushing teeth in a new
way. If you don't know the good results, make
this free test.
Fight dingy film
One object is to fight the film on teeth that
viscous film you feel It clings to teeth. enters
crevices and stays. Food stains, etc, dlscolor 1t,
then it forms dingy coats. Tartar is based on him.
No ordinary tooth paste effectively combats
film. So, under old methods, beautiful teeth were
seen less often than today.
Film also holds food substance which fernents
and forms acids. 1t holds the acids in contact with
the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions
in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea.
Very few people escaped such troubles under old
ways of teeth cleaning.

Miss Lois Rives Entertains on
Sixth Birthday.

Little Miss Lois Rives was the hap
py hostess on her sixth birthday for
twenty-five of her friends on Sep
tember 29.
Happiness ,and mirth prevailed all
the hours of the party, and out un-
der the trees on table decorated
for the occasion was the birthday
cake in pink frosting and the six cam
dies which represented the six beau
tiful years of this dear little girl.
Around the cake were lovely decora-
tions of green, and little souvenirs
of green, tied with ribbons were ly-
ing on the table for each little guest.
Many gifts were brought by the
friends who came and after games
suited to the tiny folk had been en-
joyed until the hour was ready, cream
in cones and pink cakes were served.

Statement From Mr.. Nj. a.,
Watson.
Editor The Advertiser I:


In reply to your article in last
weeks paper, i would like to repeat
what / said in The Chronicle: l was
not an alternate to the Republican
convention; I had absolutely nothing
to do with it, and have never been
affiliated with the Republican party
in any way. was not asked to be an
alternate or delegate to the conven-
ton, nor consulted at all, and when
my name came out in the paper, it
was as much a surprise to me as it
was to you, or to any of my friends
in Edgefeld county.
My business in Columbia that day
was in no way connected with poll
tics, as went there to meet a friend
from another part of the state, as 1
have already explained.
The state secretary Of the Repub-
lican party has come out in a signed
statement which he had published in
one of the Columbia dailies, in which
he explained that the use and publ
cation of my name as an alternate
to the convention was an error. l
have written both the Edgefeld
Chronicle and The State explaining;
the matter fully.
I regret the unfortunate fact that
my name has been broadcasted over
the state as identified with Republi-
canism, and I have done everything
that I could to refute it. am stating
the truth and the truth only, and l
ask you in all fairness to give me a
square deal by correcting the state
ments that you made last week,
which am sure were made without
your being acquainted with all the
facts. believe I have explained this
to the satisfaction of all fair-minded
persons, and therefore shall not en-
ter the columns of any newspaper
again, feeling that the matter has al
ready gone entirely too far. How
ever, wish here and now to put
yours, as we'll as other newspapers,
on notice that if anything further is
said in your columns derogatory to
my character, you may be expected
to be held responsible for it.
Very truly,
M. A. WATSON.

sweep clean before his own door;
then he can come to my farm and

were we in their plight, (meaning
QUITS and Watson, I mention Wat

Now, people of Edgefeld county, I
would not have thusly written but

the scripture, lay down your religion
and proceed to give them a sound
thrashing which they both deserve.
In conclusion will say after fur
ther inquiry as to who the delegates
to the republican convention from
Edgefeld county were, will say for
your information, Milton Strother,
Andrew Simpkins, Scott Stevens and
C. T. Holloway. Put that in your pipe
and smoke it. was not and have
never had anything to do with it
and time will prove the truth of my
assertions. "Truth crushed to the
earth will rise again." Time will also
prove the falsity of the falsehoods
that have been uttered against me

men editors who must fill the col
lumns in their sweet-scented weeklies

Concerning MIR. QUITS and Mr..
Watson.

We cheerfully publish statements
in this issue from Mr.. W. G.. QUITS
and Mr.. M. A.. Watson in reply to our
editorial of last week. Mr.. QUITS be-
clouds the issue however by resort
ing to personal abuse of the editors
of the two local papers because they
have performed service to the peo-
pie of Edgefeld county, but we have
no harsh words for him in reply. 1t
has been no personal matter with US.
We had duty to perform.
When we saw that two represent
ative men of Edgefeld county who
hold Jobs under the Republican ad-
ministration, with Joe Tolbert's en-
dorsement, had become so affiliated
with Tolbert (Mr. Watson stated in
a signed article in the Edgefield
Chronicle last week: 81 am person
al friend of Joe Tolbert") as to have
their names officially connected as
delegates to the State Republican
convention, thirty-fve per cent OF
which was composed of negroes, we
deemed it our duty to take up the
cause of an injured and Inundated
people here at home, to the end that
Tolbert's efforts to thus strengthen
his party by dividing our white peo-
ple and drawing the negroes into
politics be checked in their incipien-
cy. 1t is very gratifying that the peo-
pie appreciate the service which we
have rendered, for, judging from
the scores and scores Of expressions
received by letter and in person, they
are standing in one solid phalanx be-
hind us.
We could prolong this discussion
by referring to some things which we
have not yet published but it is not
necessary. We feel that the end above
referred to has already been accom-
plished. Mr.. Watson says, 81 regret
the unfortunate fact that my name
has been broadcasted over the state
as being identified with Republican
ism," and Mr.. QUITS says, cam sorry
was drawn into this rotten mess"
Mr.. QUITS says he has been in
formed that the delegates from Edge
field county to the Republican con-
vention were Milton Strother, An
drew Simkins, Scott Stevens and CT.
Holloway. In this issue Andrew Sim
kins publishes a card in which he
states that he was not delegate and
did not attend the convention. Fur
thermore, he has not been to Colum-
bia since the goth of last January.
Mr.. QUITS refers to our personal
friendship in the past and to prove
that the writer has been his friend
we will relate this incident which
took place when ne accepted tne red
eral job. Someone remarked in cur
presence: "I see that Wiley QUITS
has gone over to the Republicans.
We defended him by saying a Dem
ocrat should not be censured merely
because he accepts a job under Re-
publican administration. We replied
that our people desire to see these
positions filled by Democrats and
that they should not be censured as
long as they were clean handed and
did not become so affiliated with and
obligated to Tolbert as to become his
political tool. We thus befriended
him.
Enough has been said.

Statement From MIR. w. G..

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:
Will you allow me space in your
sweet smelling sheet to make reply
to all the false impressions and in
situations you have given utterance
to concerning me in your last weeks
issue to the people among whom l
have lived and moved all the days of
my life? Surely Christian gentle
man and once friend since boyhood
will not deny me this privilege es-
pecially since he has gratifed his
hellish ambition to ruin the charac-
ter that has been in the building for
the past so years. And not only mine
but that which is dearer to me than
life itself-wife and children. Every
word you printed I deny most en-
phatically and demand the proof.
You would have people read between
the lines and believe I rode to CO.
lumbia on the same train with negro
delegates to a republican convention
but in separate coaches. The people
of Edgefeld county do not believe
it. And along with Milton Strother
and Scott Stevens attended the
white, black and TAM convention
and got some Tolbert f1eas on 'em,
and judging from the way they are
squirming to clear their skirts the
feas are biting vigorously. But
speaking of feas, hereafter Edge
field will class these two disloyal
Democrats along with the Irishman's
flea.
wish to say to the people of
Edgefeld county, irrespective of what
julie Minis and Wigfall Cheatham
have seen fit to put in print my heart
rings true as steel to democracy.
Holding a Federal job is no reason I
am disloyal. But as such officer it is
my privilege to be present at all pub
lie gatherings. And here 1 pause long
enough to tell you as such officer, I
remained in Clumbia at both first
and second democratic primary cleo
tions recently held and my reports
to the United States Government will
prove it. And why remain in Colum-
bia? Looking for violations of the
National Prohibition laws, of which
Minis is a strong advocate. / do not
criticise him for that, however.
The people of Edgefeld county will
refuse to believe you when you say
Tolbert is my "boss." The man does
not live in South Carolina or else
where to whom I bow the knee. You
know it, along with the rest, but /
doubt if you have the manhood to ad-
NIT it.
We three are known in old Edge
field county, QUITS, Minis and Cheat
ham, and / am willing to leave my
case in the hands of my countrymen,
Edgefeld county people without ar
gun,ent. Now if ]. L. Minis will
first "get the beam out Of his own
eye he can see more clearly how to

was burned but he succeeded in get
