Home Improvement.
Many of the small towns in the State
have what are called Improvement
Societies" the object of such organiza-
tions being to improve beautify and
build up their respective towns. The
monthly dues say 10 cents from each
member are put in bank and at the
end of year or two years the accu-
mutation is drawn out and used as ap-
pears best to promote the object aimed
at. Edgefield should have just such a
Society. Who will first move in the
matter?
