The oft quoted scripture, do
justly, love mercy, and walk hum
bly, with thy God," was chosen by
Rev. C. E. Eurts as the subject of
the able discourse delivered be-
fore the very large congregation at
the Baptist church on Sunday
morning last. This young minis
ter is vigorous and forceful speak
er, making profound impression
upon his hearers.
The star route, commonly known
as the 'horse mail" between Edge
field and Tren .on, has been def
nitely decided upon. Mr.. J. S.
Smith of our town has been award
ed the contract, which becomes Of
fectlve on May 4th. The mail will
leave Edgefeld at $50 p. M, re-
turning next morning at s o'clock.
This schedule will greatly facili-
tale the transaction of important
business through the mails. Thanks
to Captain Biunson and "Uncle
Sam"
The. meeting conducted by Rev.
P. P. Blalock has been one of the
best that has been held in our
Baptist church Ill many years.
The baptlsmal service will take
place this evening at S:15 O'Clock.
Besides the eight announced last
week there are four other candi-
dates for baptism, namely: Mrs B.
D. Thames, Miss Emmie McKie
and Cadets Attaway and Black.
On Sunday night next the Rev.
Geo. w. Davis will begin series
of revival services in our Methodist
church. He will be assisted by
Rev. R. A. Yongue, of Springfield,
S. G., who is very earnest and
jealous lahorer in the Masters
vineyard. We trust that the
Christian people of our town will
hold up the hands of these two
faithful servants in their endeavors
to further the cause of Zion in Edge
field. Give them your presence
and pray ers.
The match game of hall on Fri
day afternoon last between the
teams of the S. C. C. I. and the
Carlisle Fitting School resulted in
a signal victory for the home nine,
The score being Is to 4. The first
four innings were well played on
both sides but it soop became evil
dent that the teams were unevenly
matched. Cadets Bussey and
Faust were the star players on the
S. c. c. 1. nine, all of whom, how
ever, played we'll. The game was
lmpartially umpired by Mr.. Wal
lace Sheppard. Enthusiasm ran
high but the department of 10th
teams was excellent. The Bam-
berg boys took their defeat grace
fully, proving themselves to be
perfect gentlemen. The sum of
$2l.0O was realized, the greater
part ofwhich was paid to the Wis
iting team...: This victory should
cause, the S. &C. I. nine to pract-
