Archdeacon Weber.

That portion of Edgefeld's citizen
ship which, through indifference or
enforced absence, failed to attend
the service at the Episcopal church
Sunday evening last will never real
ly know how great has been their
loss. Such deeply pious and truly
gifted men as Archdeacon Weber
seldom visit Edgefeld. By his
matchless eloquence, vivid portray
al of the peasantry and beautiful
description of the Passion play the
large audience was transported in
spirit to- the little Baravian village,
Oberammergau, where for more than
an hour they witnessed the chang
ing scenes of this very unique play.
Archdeacon Weber interpolated his
lecture with moral lessons drawn
from the Passion play. Each of
these lessons, so beautifully and so
forcefully presented, "a an entire
sermon within itself. If only a lee
ture upon the Passion play is so
beautiful, what must the Play itself
be?

Water For Public Square.

At the regular meeting of the
council Saturday morning it vas
unanimously agreed that the town
erect a tower and tank over the
we'll on the public square in order
to supply water for sprinkling the
streets and to be used in extinguish-
ing fire. The order has been placed
through Messrs. Stewart Il Kerna-
CHAN, who have very generously
consented to donate their profit to
the town. The tank will hold $50
barrels of water and will be placed
upon an iron tower 20 feet high.
Water will be pumped into the
tank from the we'll with a gasoline
engine, and if the supply is found to
be insufficient, a ram will be placed
in Beaver Dam near the old quarry,
where practically an unlimited guam
tity can be obtained. With a supply
of nearly 5000 gallons of water al
ways on hand the insurance on prop
erty Immediately adjacent to the
public square should be very ma
terially reduced.

Mrs. Elizabeth Miller Belts.

After a brief illness, Mrs. Eliza
beth Miller Belts departed this life
at her home, the historic Pine
House," near Trenton, at $3.50
o'clock Friday morning. The in
terment took place Saturday after
noon in Ebenezer cemetery. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Graves l.. Knight.
Although this good woman had
passed four score years, prior to a
few months ago she possessed re-
markable strength and vigor for
one of her age. 1t may be truly
said that she lived for her loved
ones, her chief happiness being de-
rived from making those about her
happy. Her death takes away one
of the oldest representatives of a
very old and greatly honored Edge
field family.
Mrs. Belts wasa member of Eb-
enezer chuch and is survived by
two sons Mr.. ]. F. Belts and Mr..
]. M. Belts.

After the regular morning ser
vice at Rehobo,h Sunday morning
last, MIR. Levi Quarles and Miss

J. r. Littlejohn. Immediately at!
ter the ceremony the happy young
couple went to the home of the
g o5m's father, Mr.. c. E. Quarlcs,
where an elaborate wedding dinner
was served. a number of relatives
and friends were present to share
the joys of the occasion. Mr.. and
Mrs. Quarles will make their home
on MI. Quarles' farm near Red Hill.

these widely beloved young people a

Newsy Items From Franklin.
Condemns Action of Conven-
tlOn.

MI. Editor: We have had fine
seasons on the west side at last, but
am afraid il is most too late to help
the oats. The farmers are we'll up
with their work but the stand of
cotton is not good. I hope we will
have good stands now that the rain
has~come.
Well, some of our neighbors are
having their property improved.
Mrs. Annie Hammond is having her
residence painted both inside and
out. Mr.. Joe Hamilton is building
a nice new residence. Josie, me
thinks / smell a rat,. but Joe that's
all right-another x for the rever-
ends pocket.
Mr.. Editor, I regretted to learn
that the county convention cut out
the magistrates from the primary.
1t was very unjust at this time. If
it had been earlier, some three
months ago., we would have said
go it." But to knock down their
pegs now is unkind to say the least
of it. I was very glad to hear that
there were at least a few good men
in our county that took sides with
the magistrates.
Well, if this doesn't reach the
waste basket / will come again when
I can have something to say. Oh,
did anyone see Mr.. Press Lyon yes
terday in such a hurry? Wonder
"whar he gwine." That's all right

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 were 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. c. /. and John
ston teams, resulting in a victory
for Johnston. But the boys redeem
ed 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
town-day 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 a grand mas
querade, from $50 to eleven. Invi-
tatioGs had been issued to several
hundred young people of the-town.
ALI of the young people were heavl-
ly masked, both face .and form.
The costumes of some were very
beautiful and artistic, but the ma
|,jority were grotesque and amusing
in the extreme. For more than an
hour the gay ard saudy throng
chatted and coquetted in the long
halls. Finally they were marched to
the auditorium and were seated by
two, and each couple was required
to go upon the ro$trum and un,.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 one-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 rs 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.

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

but we know it will not be long be-
fore this sweet and pretty girl will

MI. 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 plar such great pleas
ures for the old veterans on Memo
rial Day. The old veterans appre-
ciate it very much and eagerly

dear old men who fought SO bravely
and endured so many hardships for
the south and her people should be

Others Should Follow.

All honor to Golfers and Flat Rock
school. districts ! In the elections re-
Gently held the citizens uf these dis
tricts took a very decided stand for
education, for better public schools. In
Golfers school district every vote ex-
cept. one was cast for the special levy
for school purposes, and Flat Rock cast
a unanimous ballot for the levy. The
result of these elections is IN unmis-
taxable Indication that the people are
awaking to the fact that in order to
have better schools and longer terms
more money must be provided. Would
that every father in the county could
realize that the investment that will
bring the largest returns in coming
years is the money spent in educating
his sons and daughters !!
There are a dozen other school dis
trict that should hold elections, and
follow the examples set by Golfers and
Flat Rock districts.
