WHO is SHE?

Every afternoon there is seen in
Edgefeld, astride handsome bicycle
n smiling, winsome, vivacious, blue
eyed girl who is the cynosure of al
eyes. She looks the pink of perfection
in her pink shirt-waist, brown bloom
ers and sailor hat. She is one of the
main attractions ut Penn's Mammoth
Thousand Dollar Soda Fountain where
everybody goes to refresh themselves
this hot weather. She advertises,
Almoldol, for the skin; Cold Cream
for the face and hands; Witch Hazel
Soap, for bathing; Frog in Your
Throat, for coughs and colds; Eye
Wash, for sore eyes; Glycerine Jelly
for sunburn; and Phenol S0dique, for
cuts and bruises. Penn will let you
have any of these remedies for only
ten cents. Think of it! They are the
best in the world.

CORRESPONDENCE
IN HIGH REPUTE.
AN EDGEFIELD TEACHER IN GREAT
DEMAND AND HIGHLY PRAISED
BY ONE Who Is CAPABLE
OF JUDGING.

Mr.. EDITOR. The annual edu-
cational Institute for the county
of Lincoln was held at Lincolnton,
Georgia on The 9Th, 7th, Sth, 9th,
and 10th days of July; while there
is nothing very special in that,
there Is in the fact that our teach
ers had the benefit of the services
of one of the best edu at o s
in the South as expert for the
occasion. Mr.. J. III. Lewis who
is & native of Edgefeld county,
So. Ca, is the man our Coun-
ty Board of Education had the
good fortune to select for this
position, Influenced principally by
the recommendation of Mr.. Bean
Of your county who has been a
teacher here.
Mr.. Lewis, though quite a young
man, showed himself to be quite
an adept in every new method in
the art or Pedagog. He is not
only a scholar himself, but is gift
ed with the art of teaching others
how to learn. He is both a schol-
ar and a teachar. /. requires no
great gift OF prophecy to predict
for him a brilliant future as an
educator. I think you people in
Edge6eld will have cause 10 feel
proud of him some day in the fu-
ture.
Now Mr.. Editor these compli-
ments have not been solicited of
me by Mr.. Lewis or any of his
friends. 1t merely struck me that
1 could do an act of justice and
Kindness to deserving young
man to let his home folks know
what people thought of him abroad
besides it's my business to praise
scholars.

liberal appropriations for common

His persistent efforts induced
the Legislature to extend the time
for paying taxes in 1894 to March
1895; in this matter he had strong
and able opposition.
He whipped out the. Lord bond
bill, after a struggle extending over
two sessions, in which he met and
vanquished some of the ablest
debaters i'll the Legislature, and
defeated the bill by a vote Of Il to

thus saving to the State and its

Don't Douse the Glim.


The best plan for John Gary
Evans to pursue in the Bond deal
business is to state freely and
frankly what his agreement with
Rhind was-how the $4,000 was
distributed and divided, to whom
paid and in what amounts. Other
wise, the reformers will imagine
that things are worse than they
are, and when a reformer gets to
imagining vain things he can beat
the record, besides, silence is con.
