Erroneous Impression Corrected.a

CEToueOuS impression No1A.CSoe1SSeNeesls
There appeared in the last ISSUE
of the Edgeield Chronicle All ar
ticle signed by Mrs. J. B. Haiti
wanger, entitled "Auf Wieder-
sehen Club" of which the follow
ing is an excerpt: Any way the
other club meaning the Edgefeld
Literary club has the advantage
Of us. 1t has two newspapers to
priut it's articles, as the editor Of
the Chronicle is too courteous to.
refuse them avoice in lis columns,
whereas all articles from the 5AufI
Wiedersehen club to the Edgefeld.
Advertiser arrive not only too late.
for the week they are sent, but the.
next week also.
The writer of the foregoing has.
done this newspaper all fhjuetice.,
From ehe statement above quoted.
the public has very naturally in:
ferred that the Auf Wiedersehen.
Club has repeatedly sent the Adj.
vertiser articles for publication.
and that we have refused to pub
lish them. Such is not the case.
Here are the facts: There has
been only one article received at
this office for publication from the
Auf Wiedersehen Club. That ar
ticle or notice was sent by Mrs.
J.B. Haltiwanger and was intend
ed for the issue of April 5th. 1t,
along with several communities.
tious aud advertisements, was re-
ceived too late to appear II that
issue, for the reason that the Ad-
vertiser was published day earlier
that week to enaole the editor to
attend the B. Y. P..U. convention
in Charleston, having left for
Charleston on the noon train of
Tuesday, April 4tb.
Mrs. Haltiwanger has said that
their articles reach this office "not
only too late for the week they are
sent, but the next week ALSO" The
re- son why the notice in question,
which was intended for the issue
of April 5th, did not appear
"the next week, ",the issue Of April
18th, is this: Itdirected attention
in part to an entertainment to be
given by the new club on Friday,
April 7th, On the lawn of Mrs.
John R. Tompkins, at which ice
cream was to have been sold by
the members Of the club. The en-
tertainment was to have been held
on April the 7tt notice the dates,
please and the next issue of the
Advertiser was not published un-
til April the 18th, five days later.
Thus it is shown why this, the
only notice that has been received
at this Office, was not published
the week it was sent and why it
was not published ''the next
week" Furthermore, the first
time we saw Mrs. Haltiwaugel
after the notice was received We
told her in person why it was not
pu blished.
From the foregoing it is obvi-
Gus that an injustice has be'n
done the Advertiser and it's editor
by the erroneous impression that
was created, hence we have deem
ed it our duty to set ourselves
right before the public by max
ing this explanation.
