Good Rains at Golfers. MIR. AID.
ans Celebrated Birthday. U.
ID. C. Commended.

Since our last writing we have
had various kinds of weather: First:
winter, then summer, then winter
again and for the last few days we
have had the refreshing rain. So,
one hardly knows how to prepare
for the days work.
Among the visitors in Golfers
were Messrs. D. D.. Brunson, Gill
ham West, Mr.. Strom, Ben Minis,
o. E. Smith, MI. and Mrs. Walter
Miller.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Pardue, with
their three bright and beautiful lit.
tie children, visited at Mr.. Holmes
last week.
Mrs. Ned Holmes, Mrs. o. j.
Prince and DR.. Grafton have been
on the sick list, but we are glad to
report are now better.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Il. Mathis visit
ed relatives in Augusta.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Harling spent
last Wednesday in Augusta.
Miss Ida Miller, Que of Golfers
most beautiful and brilliant stars,
has returned home from a very
lengthy stay at Rehoboth, which
delighted her many friends.
Mrs. E. B. Mathis has returned
home after a visit to.her sister, Mrs.
Bonnie Dorm, of North Augusta.
Mrs. J. H. Mathis and little
Mayme are at home, after a stay
with her mother, Mrs. w. E. Thur
mond of Modoc.
Miss Ruth Miller has gone to
visit her sister Mrs. T. B. Gilchrist.
How we regretted to see her leave
but we know it will not be long be-
fore this sweet and pretty girl will
come back to us.
Mr.. J. w. Adams celebrated his
birthday on Thursday last, having
his sisters with him on that day. A
very elegant dinner was prepared,
after which was served ice tea, ice
cream and cake. On the table were
set fine dishes ST spring English
peas, and Irish potatoes of Mr..
Adams own raising. He surpasses
all of Golfers in his fine garden.
We wish him many happy returns
of the day, and that on another he'll
remember us all.
The long talked of census taker
has come around and with his pleas
ing manners made friends easily.
As he is a married man, we don't
suppose he had any trouble to find
out the young ladies' ages. While
It's fun for the one who answers the
questions, we imagine it must be
very tiresome to him.
1t was very kind and noble of the
U. D. G. to plan such great pleas
ures for the old veterans on Memo
rial Day. The old veterans appre-
ciate it very much and eagerly
await the day. We felt that these
dear old men who fought SO bravely
and endured so many hardships for
the south and her people should be

One Hundred Tons Of Coal.

Col. Bailey is always on the alert,
taking advantage of everything that
will effect a saving in the operating
expenses of his school, which en-
ables him to make rates to students
much lower than other institutions.
He has already purchased his next
winters supply of coal. Three large
cars, aegregating 100 tons, arrived
last week. The miners quote very
low prices in the spring SO as to OBJ
tain funds to operate on through
the summer.

Beautiful Monument to Memory
Of Mr. rn.Excursion to Con-
ME Maxwell Orphanage.

Since my last notes, a beautiful
monument has been erected to the
memory of Mr.. L. F. Dorm, in fact
the prettiest that / know Of in west
ern Edgefeld. The cost of the
monument, I understand is s5ls.oo
of which the Woodmen of the
world, as she does to all her deceas-
ed members, contributed 100000.
One side of the monument is the K.
Of P. emblem, and another the Ma
sonic, and on the other DUN tao
at clama," representing the w. o.
w.
His family have a fine sense of
the fitness of things, for the in
scription on the monument comes
nearer expressing the true life and
character of our dear friend, than
great columns of eulogistic matter,
some of which is often put upon
tombstones. Mr.. Dorm held many
positions of honor and trust but
none of these things are mentioned.
The inscription simply reads: He
was faithful to every duty" Amore
BETTING epitaph could not be put
upon the monument of our friend,
because he was ever faithful to
everything he conceived to be his
duty.
On last Tuesday night, our local
camp w. O.. w. met and decided to
unveil this monument, also Sow. R.
S. Blackwell's on the first Sunday
in June, which we adopted as decora
ton day, also combining the two
services. Our pastor who is a Wood
man will preach a special sermon in
the morning on fraternity and in
the afternoon memorial exercises
in memory of our deceased sover-
eigns. A gifted speaker from a dis
lance has been invited to deliver
the memorial address and visiting
camps invited.

other day on our streets, that the

'TRIXfE.
Encampment at Fair Grounds.

The annual S. c. C. 1. encamp-
ment was held on the Fair grounds
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of last week. While the military
duties we're heavier than when in
the college, the entire corps enjoyed
the camp experiences. When not
actually on duty the cadets engaged
in sport of various. kinds. Thursday
afternoon a game Of ball was played
between the S, G. G. /. and John
ston teams, resulting in a victory
for Johnston. But the boys redeem
cd their record and reputation for
good ball playing Friday morning,
when they defeated Ridge Spring
by a score of 6 to 8.
Friday morning the cadets invited
the college girls and the girls of the
students-to take break
fast at the camp.
A sham battle was fought Friday
afternoon between the two cadet
companies, fully 1000 shots being
fired. TO the younger generation
this presented quite a novel scene,
but the rattle of the muskets carried
the old veterans present back to the
sixties. After the battle the corps
gave a public drill in the arena.
This being the first public drill OF
the session many were amazed at the
splendid manner in which they ex-
ecuted the manual of arms and
went through with field movements.
Friday afternoon the cadets broke
camp and returned to barracks,
where they enjoyed asgrand mas
querade, from $50 to eleven. Invi-
tations had been issued to several
hundred young people of the-town.
All of the your people were heavi-
ly masked, both face and form.
The costumes of some we're very
beautiful and artistic, but the ma
jority were grotesqne and amusing
in the extreme. For more than an
hour the gay ard saudy throng
chatted and ~coquetted in the long
halls. Finally they were marched to
the auditorium ard we're seated by
two, and each couple was required
to go upon the rostrum and unt-ask.
Col. Bailey, in order to add zest to
the occasion. offered a two-pound
box of candy. to the young lady
wearing the most striking costume
and aone-pound box to the young
man who was the most uniquely
clad. The committee of judges
awarded the prizes to Miss Anna
Hollingsworth, whose costume rep
resented Night, and TO Mr.. Wad
Allen, who was dressed as a
acknowledgements, being rather
broad than tall. After the prizes
were awarded ice cream and cake
were served in the dining room.
All Of the young people thorough
ly enjoyed the masquerade, and the
young people of the town are very
grateful to President Bailey and
the student body for their thought
full hospitality.

this year than in any previous one,
and that the increase was caused by
the purchase of automobiles. We
would not advise any thrifty farmer

A few years ago, then rich

we preached the doctrine of good
roads, fearing they would have to
down in their pockets and pay an
extra tax, but now, they are willing
to help us. The poor man has prac-
tically kept up the roadsfsince the

getting ready to help.
An excursion from Plum Branch
went last Saturday to Greenwood to

The excursionists consisted of the

loyal supporters Which appeals to
the sympathies of every one with a
heart in the right place.

We have had sufficient rains,
which came just in time for grain
if anything can help it. The truth is,
the grain in western Edgefeld SO
far as I have observed, is quite poor
and it is doubtful if anything can
help it. The only grain that | have
seen that looks promising is that
treated with nitrate of soda.
We are sorry to chronicle the
fact, that Mrs. Johnnie Stone has
been quite ill. We hope for her
speedy recovery.
Energetic Mr.. Will Strom, of
automobile and mountain. fame, paid

His old friend, Mr.. j. M. Minor, is

going to get Mr.. Strom in a crowd
and tell the plain, unvarnished
truth on him to pay him back.
The B. Y. p. U. was not largely
attended last night on account OF
the inclemency of the weather. Mrs.

paper.

Clyde's tone was querulous as he
continued:
I'm sorry I ever went into this
thing. You bet if 1 had known as
much in Chicago as / know now
would have hung on to my money and
stayed at home"
"You knew as much as we did"
Boyd declared CURLY.
"Oh, it's all right for you to talk.
You haven't risked any coin In the
deal, but I'm a rotten business man,
and I'll never make my ante back
again if 1 lose it"
Don't whine about it, said Boyd
stifly. "You can at least be game
