Merry New York Party.

AS has already been announced,
after closing the business sessions
of the annual meeting of the South
Carolina Press Association in Co
lumbia, the newspaper men will
take a>trip to New York, where
they will spend week as their out
ing for this year. The party will
sail from Charleston Sunday morn
ing, June 4th, and will reach New
York Tuesday the 9Th. An entire
week will be spent in seeing the
sights of the metropolis and in
taking side trips.
Returning, the party will leave
New York Tuesday, June 18th, and
will reach Charleston Thursday af-
ternoon.
AS each member of the press as
sociation has been accorded the
privilege of inviting one or more
friends to take the trip, the editor
of The Advertiser has, through
President August Kohn, made res
ervations upon the steamer for the
following persons from Edgefeld:
Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse and little
Norma Shannonhouse, Mrs. Halle
N. Greneker, Miss Ellen Dunovant,
Miss Sallie Mae Nicholson, Mrs.
Mamie Tillman, Miss Helen Till
man, Miss Pearl Padgett, Mrs. R.
G. Padgett, Miss Lillian Smith,
Miss Minnie Dicks, Miss Florence
Minis, Miss Zena Payne, of John
ston, Mr.. r. g. Padsett and Mr..
w. H. Harling. 1t is probable that
others will go from Edge6eld. Of
course The Advertiser man will go
along to chsperone the party as
we'll as to minister to their needs
both on land and sea. But it is like
ly that on the sea he will be more
in need of kindly ministrations than
any other member of the party.
The sixteen from Edgefeld are
expecting to have the time of their
lives," and we do not believe they
will be disappointed. The annual
press trips are always exceedingly
pleasant, as many courtesies are ex-
tended to the newspaper mon that
are not bestowed upon the usual ex-
cursion or pleasure seeking party.
1t is even now exceedingly anus
ing to hear some of the Edgefeld-
ians speak of the various and varied
means they will employ to ward off
a severe attack of mal,de mere.

We have had another dry week to
pass. While we have been looking

but of course will be some days at
best before they can fill their places
on the farm. These negro violators
of the laws of our country and who
have no regard for the church and
the commands of their Maker,
should be severely dealt with in our
courts, being given a lesson SO they
will not go and do likewise again.
Mr.. F. L. Foy of Denny's, the

Suckers Were Biting.

For the purpose of advertising
fishing rods a shopkeeper hung q
large rod outside his shop with an
artificial fish at the end of it.
Late one night Rerkins, who had
been dining bit too well, happen
ed to see the fish. Going cautious

shopkeeper from an upper window.
"Sh-h! Don't make a noise, but
come down as quietly as you can, "
whispered Perkins.
Thinking something serious was
the matter the man dressed and
stole down stairs.
''Now, what is it?" he inquired.
"Hist!" admonished Perkins.

Mix the Paris green with a small

Slake the lime to the consistency of
white wash and also add it to the
barrel of water. Stir with a pad

In the small family garden mix a
tablespoon full of Paris green with

The pickle worm prefers the buds,
bloom, and fruit of summer squash;
the melon worm prefers the foliage.
In the melon or canteloupe patch
there should be planted a few hills
of summer squash. These squash
plants should be thoroughly sprayed
with arsenate of lead, two pounds
to fifty gallons of water. When
the mel. ms or canteloupes approach
the size of base ball they should
be tightly bagged with six pound
bags of a fairly heavy grade of pa
per. This will prevent worms that
were not killed on the summer
squash to enter the melons and can
loupes.
Arsenate of lead is rapidly taking
the place of Paris green for use on
tender foliage. 1t contains less
! soluble arsenic and for this rea-
son can be used without danger of
burning the foliage. In this state
it is recommended at the rate of two
pounds to fifty gallons of water or
one ounce to three gallons.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Through Efforts of Daughters
Appropriate Exercises Held,
Veterans Dined, Graves
Are Decorated.

n udy IhaI Will po
membered in Edgefel especially
by the veterans of the county, was
Wednesday last, Memorial Day.
The members of the Edgeheld
chapter, U. D. c., sent invitations
to all of the veterans in the county
to attend the memorial exercises as
their guests. More than hun
dred veterans, whose names are gly-
en- below, accepted and partook of
the dinner that was served on the
lawn of the Baptist church. The
long table was bountifully supplied
with barbecue dinner, salads, pickle,
cake, etc., :, S;ch, together with the
lemonade, ice tea and coffee, were
thoroughly enjoyed by the guests OF
honor. Yes, guests of honor, in the
fullest and truest sense. Every
body present honored and greatly
revered all of the survivors of the
sixties, the ladies taking especial de-
light in showing them every posi-
BILE courtesy and attention.
During the dinner and fort an
hour afterwards. the old soldiers en-
gagged in an exchange of wartime
experiences. Some of them, though
perchance members of the same
company, had not seen each other
in many years. These occasions,
such as that of Wednesday, serve
two purposes, to wit: First, they
afford an opportunity of serving
and honoring the veterans while
they yet live, and second they are
practically a county reunion, at
which the veterans can mingle and
chat with each other as they did
when they wore the tattered gray
uniform.
At three o'clock the veterans and
a goodly number of people of the
town assembled in the Baptist
church, where the following pro-
gram was faultlessly carried out,
with Mr.. A. S. Tompkins as master
Of ceremonies:
Southern melodies by Mrs. John
r. Tompkins.

Esq.

song by auxiliary.
Address by Alva H. Lumpkin of
Columbia.

fund.

Prayer by Rev. R. G. Shannon
house.
At the close of the exercises the
old soldiers, Daughters of the Con-
federacy and members of the auxil-
iary placed flowers upon the soldiers
graves and arranged wreaths about
the monument on the public square.
1t is generally conceded that Me-
mortal Day has never been more
beautifully observed than it was
last Wednesday. All honor to the
Edgefeld chapter U. d. c.!

GBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Chicago. Dec. 9.-"Certainly whiskers
are unsanitary.'
Despite the protest Of Chicago whisker
wearers. DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the gov
ernments pure food authority sticks to
his assertion that the chin brush" is a
bad thing for its owner and for the COM
munity at large.
THE arguments presented by CHI
cagoans yesterday are not real argu-
ments." he said tonight for they plead
for their whiskers on the ground of
beauty-and beauty must be sacrificed
TO health
The great decrease in the number of
physicians and surgeons who wear
boards. DR. Wiley explained, is due to
a general recognition Of the truth of his
recent utterance against whiskers.
Twenty years ago" he said, the
voung physician considered crop of
hair on his chin essential To his success.
Rut a better understanding of the
dangers of germs has enlightened him.
Nowadays YOU will see physicians and
surgeons who have passed the half CEN
turv mark paying as careful attention To
tho removal of hair fro mtheir faces as
thav do to the removal of dirt from their
hands"

SAVES SWAN FROM PELICAN
Was Being Choked to Death. with
Head in Latter's Bill.

While two patromen from the Arsenal
station in Central Park were throwing
snowballs at Dick, the pelican in the
menageries aquatic cage yesterday
morning. more than a hundred persons
gathered to see the cause Of such ac-
tivity on the part of the police. They
soon learned for the pelican had the
head of a black SWAN inside its pouch
and was trying to break its neck
Dick got into fight with the BLACK
swan over some delcacies that were be-
ing passed through the wire mesh of
the cage by a number Of children. The
swan pulled every feather out of the
tail of the pelican before that slow NOV
ing bird managed TO grab the swans
head in its bill.
The wrigglng of the swan, which was
gradually being smCthered with its head
in the pouch Of the pelican, brought two
patrolmen on the run. Unable to get in
side the cage. they began throwing
snowballs at the pelican. But such
things did not phase Dick, as the cops
we're so anxious to save the life of the
fast dying swan they We're inaccurate in
their aim.
II was only when a park carpenter
gave the pelican a welt over the head
with long pole that the swan was re-
leased. II was SO weak that il fell over
in a heap and remained apparently dead
for two hours. Then he revived enough
to take a swim.

TURKISH ATROCITIES TO
Be TOLD At THE HAGUE
Appalling Cruelty, RivaIIing That
of the Sioux, Testified to
by Doctors.
TORTURED WHILE DYING
More than Three Hundred Ital-
ians Murdered After Being
Mutilated at Henni, in the
Suburbs of Tripoli.

Rome, Dec. 9-Italy is about to de-
nounce the Turkish atrocities at Tripoli
to the Tribunal at The Hague. Signor
Gioltti. the Italian Prime Minister has
received long report from General
Canova. containing the sworn evidence
of the Red Cross doctors, who were
charged with the Identification Of the
bodies of more than three hundred ltal-
ians who were murdered after being
tortured and mutilated in the village OF
Henni. in the suburbs of Tripoli.
As result of the Arab revolt Of Octo-
Der % the Italians were forced TO with
draw their lines, and i'm their haste omit
ed TO convey the wounded to the rear.
These were left I'm the Red Cross station
i'm y.~nni. The Turks occupied the vii
lage and tortured and mutiated the
wounded and also two doctors, several
attendants and a stretcher bearer whom
they murdered in cold blood.
The Italians recently reoccupied Henni,
where they found on the unburied bodies
eloquent proof of the appalling cruelty
of the Turks. The Red Cross doctors
examined and photographed each body
and ascertained with the utmost GER
tainty that all were horribly tortured
when wounded and still alive.
II is impossible 20 describe ,he atroci-
ties which are declared to haze SUI
passed those of Sioux Indians and other
Savages.
Bones were broken. limbs cut off. eyes
plucked out. eyeids sewn with twine
and living men buried to die of starva-
ton with their heads alone left above
ground. Microscopic analysis showed
spasmodic contractions or the muscles
OF the faces, affording sufficient proof
that the Turks not only mutilated the
dead. but made martyrs of the victims
while alive.
Included in the report are affidavits Of
eyewitnesses which prove that regular
Turkish soldiers, commanded by Turkish
officers, not Arabs, were guilty of the
massacres. The Italians feel that they
are fully justified in treating the enemy
as outside the pale of civilization AMI
giving them no quarter, but lest it be
accused Of retalatory policy the govern

report
