ABOUT TOWN.

Just as the Prescott women have got their hair trained over enormous wire rats with a pom padour effect, and have spent a great deal Of money on puffs and CUTS which they place in the centre of the pOmpadOurA
 there comes letter from Paris to the wOmen's columns of the papers saying that pompadOurs are "out" puffs and curls are "out" and the hair must be worn parted in the middle in simple knot either high or low, as is most becoming. The letter says side combs, back combs, etc, are very unfashionable, and which will be a blow to the women, the news coming as it does, just be- fore Christmas Side combs back combs, etc. make nice Christ mas presents,

The much talked Of foot ball con-
test on Thursday last between the
Graniteville and EGgefeld teams at
tracted a large crowd. Besides draw
ing out many lovers of outdoor
sport in our town, Trenton, John
ston and the country districts were
we'll represented. From the first kick
of the ball till the close of the Sec
ond half the contest was exceeding
ly interesting and at times very ex-
citing. Had the teams been more
evenly matched the game would
have been snappy and spirited
throughout, and enthusiasm would
have run high. AS it was, the fact
developed early in the first half that
the CIR; niteville boys were too light,
besides being swofully deficient, in
skill, to combat successfully with
our boys.
Mr.. Joe G. Holland, who is one
of the foremost. athletes in the state
and is thoroughly familiar with the
intricacies of the game, coached his
team well for two weeks prior to
the contest. and their splendid play
ing on the gridiron Thanksgiving
day showed how they responded to
his instruction. The very skillful
manner in which Mr.. Holland han
died his men while in action, direct
ing this or that end to make play,
according to the point of vantage
held by each, repeatedly called forth
admiration and applause from the
enthused spectators. Mr.. Holland
was theistar of the team but was
ably assisted by Messrs. Horace and
Paul Cogburn and Mr.. Arnoldus
Lewis. In fact, all of them played

News From the College Cam

Thanksgiving Day was one of
much pleasure and one which had
been greatly looked forward to and
anticipated by all the students of
the S. G. @. /. After breakfast gen
eral leave was granted to the corps
and those wishing to attend service
were at liberty to do so. The young
ladies and most of the cadets at
tended service at the Baptist church.
After coming back the exciting
game of football between Edgefeld
and Graniteville was witnessed.
Roll call took place at 1880 and i'm
mediately after lunch was served.
Then from $3.50 to $50 the rules of
college were suspended between the
young ladies and men who enjoyed
a social afternoon. After retreat"
the famous Thanksgiving dinner
was held. Col. Bailey set high
standard for these annual feasts
years ago but the dinner of 1908
surpassed all others. Not a hotel in
South Carolina, not to mention other
colleges, served any more elaborate
Thanksgiving dinner, for its guests,
than did Col. Bailey for his stu
dents. The menu was too lengthy
to begin to mention. Several person
al friends of the President were
present. Mr.. J. U. Rives, Mr.. E. S.
Rives and family, Rev. P. P. Bla-
lock and wife, Mr.. J. L. Minis and
wife, Misses Fannie, Effie and Lucille
Sheppard and others. At $3.50 p. m.
the students returned to their respect
i've quarters, thus ending a pleasant
and greatly enioyedS Thanksgiving
Day
The three literary societies of the
college are going to publish a

Edgefield Opposes. Carnivals.

The carnival is here in full blast,
gathering up all of the nickles and
dimes in the neighborhood. There
seems to be very few worthy at
fractions with this aggregation and
those who do not attend will miss
nothing, but on the other hand will
doubtless save several dollars that
they can't afford to throw away
Barnwell Sentinel.
The fact that Edgefeld's mayor
practically refused to license one of
these carnival companies short
time ago by placing the license so
high they refused to pay it,has been
very generally commended by the
citizens Of our town.

A Third Division of the Edge
|, field Association Formed.

* Dear Advertiser: A few lines
anent the meeting of the Union Of
Z the End division of the Edgefeld
association, ,whichmet&ith the Plum
Branch church, may be of interest
to many of your readers.
z This is always an interesting and
instructive meeting to the churches,
although they have heretofore many
of them scattered and far-apart, in
consequence of which at this meet
ing, which took place 5th Saturday
and Sunday, November 9sth and
goth, resolved to divide, thereby
making anotherd division to be known
as the 3rd division of the Edgefeld
association. The old or 2nd division
was. composed of l3 churches, ex-
tending from Ebenezer at Trenton
ON the G. G. g. A. r. r. to Plum
Branch on the G.. & w. G. r. r,
over so miles apart. The>brothers
decided that a. better and more
efficient work could, be done by
making two divisions out of the
old End division, one of which
could contain 6 churches, and the
other Z churches:
The meeting of the union was
very harmonious throughout, the
subjects were good, the brethren
prepared with good speeches, which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all
present. n
Sunday morning the Sunday
| school exercises were turned over
to the union, and Moderator L.: F.
Dorm filled the hour with most ex-
cellent and/inspiring addresses by
brethren p. B. Lanham, Prof. Mel
lichamp, Brother Haynes from Clyde,
Nc, and the pastor, Rev. L. B.
White.
The missionary sermon, which
was a most excellent one, was
preached by Rev. j. T. Littlejohn,
and the collection which amounted
to $15.51. for the orphanage. The
afternoon was given over to B. Y.
p. U. exercises, which consisted of
a most excellent program by the
young people on B. Y.P. q. work.
The union received messengers
from B. Y. P. U. organizations at
Red Hill, Modoc, Plum Branch,
Parksville, who were cordially re-
8ceived. The papers presented on
B. Y. P. u. work by Misses Self
and Banks were magnificent and
the address of Prof. Harley called
forth loud words of commendation-
There was also an address by DR..
d. A. J. Bell, president of the Parks
willie union, and a most excellent
paper by Miss Martha Dorm on mis-
sions, which was credit to the
Parksville union.
The new division, just formed,
will meet 5th Saturday and Sunday
in January with the Parksville
church, at which time an organiza'
ton will be effected and officers
elected.
We feel that the divisions will be
a great blessing in that the mother
division will not do less for the
spread of the Kingdom while the
new, with energy and enthusiasm
will push the work, thereby doub
ling the work heretofore done by
one. Multiplication by divisionp
So mote it be, amen.
