meeting to which a number came.
There were some Edge6eld girls
there that looked as if they had just
come over from Edsefeld, but we
recalled the fact that two of them
had been stolen, willingly however,
and had chosen to be transplanted
on Clark's Hill soil. These two were
Mrs. J. P. Nixon and Mrs. George
Whatley. This meeting was special
ly for mothers and was conducted
by Mrs. d. w. Sharpton, president
of the w. G. T. U. Selections were
read by Mrs. W. S. Middleton, Mrs.
Sale, and Mrs. Hattie King, and the
writer was invited to be a part of
the program, which she did, as the
Bible enjoins US to be easily entreat-
ed, and does not hold us responsible
for our inability to do the thing
asked.
a number of new members were
received for the union and white
ribbon recruits secured. But this is
not all of the story. We are glad it
was not, and hope that this will be
continued story for it was all so
interesting. A most delightful social
time was spent on Friday evening
at the beautiful and handsome new
home of Mr.. and Mrs. DIV. .Sharpton
which is an ornament in every way
to the city of Clark's Hill. Here We
met and talked with Mrs. Philip
Markert, Miss Latham and Mrs. Hat
tie King, whom we have known
many years as missionary worker.
At the evening meal a similar ex-
perience awaited us to the one on
the evening before when a sumpt-
uous repast and happy coterie of
friends met around the festive
board and partook of Angels food
and congonial dishes. There is an
other proof that the atmosph ere of
Clark's Hill is salubrious besides
the beauty of its women and that is
the proportions of its citizens.
One of the most prominent of these
remarked that although he had had
his store built to order to suit his
size, he was still unable to stand be-
hind the counter without knocking
down his goods. While this story,
and it is real one, was delightful,
it would not do to continue it too
long at one time for such luxury of
food and attention would be too
much for ordinary mortals. With
all the good things that Clark's
Hill has to bestow, we would sug-
gest that every man of Clark's Hill
who is in need of companion can
truthfully sing to the lady of his
choice these verses of Mother Goose:
Curly, Curly locks, will you be
mine?
You shall not wash the dishes
Nor yet feed the swine.
But sit Oh a cushion.
And sew a fine seam
And feed upon strawberries, peach
es and cream"

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
In the matter of the
Petition of the citizens
of Edgefeld county for
annexation to Green
wood county, called ORDER
sometimes the cut off
Of Plum Branch to
Greenwood county.
In this matter, His Excel'ency.
M. F. Ansel, Governor of the state
of South Carolina, on the 18th day
of November, 1910, filed an execu-
tive order in which he declared,
among other things, that a petition
had been filed in his Office on the
25th day of July, 1910, by certain
electors, asking to have called an
election on the question of annexing
certain portion of Edgefeld county
to Greenwood county; that commits
sioners were appointed by him to
ascertain and report whether the al
legations of the petition were true
and if the constitutional require
ments in such cases had been COM
piled with; that the. commissioners
made and reported to him that all
of the constitutional requirements
had been complied with; but that
he refused to order an election for
said annexation of said territory to
Greenwood county because there
was pending in his Office before the
said date, petition by certain
qualified electors for Edgefeld and
Aiken counties, asking for an cleo
ton upon the question of forming
a new county, and he stayed the
election for said annexation for
said reason, among others, that the
matter should be held up until the
coming in of the report of the COM
missioners of the proposed new
county from the portion of Aiken
and Edgefeld counties.
Inasmuch as the report of the
commission of this proposed new
county has come in before His Ex-
cellency,' Governor Apsel; and, mas
much as he ordered an election in
said territory, the order and procla-
nation for said election has been
set aside by me for reasons stated
in my order on the subject;
Now, therefore, as it appears that
all of the constitutional require
ments for the annexation of the
said territory from Edgefeld coun
ty to Greenwood county have been
complied with, and the reasons
stated by Gov. Ansel are out of the
way for delaying the matter any
longer, on motion of S. II. McGhee,
ESQ.,, attorney for the annexation,
it is ordered that an election be held
in said territory of Edgefeld coun-
ty on the question of annexation to
Greenwood county, according to
law, on the eleventh day of April
A. D. 1911, and proclamation to
said effect will be issued to the COM
missioners of the state and county
elections of Edgefeld county.
Given under my hand and the
seal of the Executive department,

Carolina, on the 2nd day of March

PHENIX, Ariz., March ls.-When
Col. Theodore Roosevelt stepped out
today upon the platform overhangine

who made possible the great Sal;
river reclamation project, pledging $45
per acre for 100000 acres OF land
which they owned that they would
In 10 years from the opening Of the
project, repay at the rate OF $1,000,OOC
per year the $9.00o.000 loaned by
Uncle Sam to build the dam.
Orme and his friends and neigh

said Mr.. Orme. The government
could not go to farmers and make an
individual deal with each land own.
er That was why we formed the as
ISOLATION. We Incorporated IL with
1900 members. There are $500 mem
bers now. each the owner Of 160 acres
OF land. No one can own more than
that, under the reclamation act.
Roughly speaking. at the time OF
our first agreement with the govern
ment, we had signed up about 100000
acres. On this land, which is now
receiving water, we levy an assess-
ment of SLIGO per acre Ter year for
maintenance. operation and improve
ments. This amounts to 1856 per
year on each farm.
I'VE Will repay the $9,000.00O which
the government has advanced. with
out interest. and In 10 annual pay
ments, after the reclamation project
is declared formally opened. That
will be two years from now. Each
farm Of the 200,O00-odd acres pledged
repays at the rate of $45 per
acre. That makes II $3.50 per acre
per year. But. by the time the re-
payment begins. we will have much
larger income from the electric pow
er than we have now. We now re-
ceive from this source $4,000 per
year. As the demand for power In
creases we will sell more power.
With the power from proposed new
plants we will have an estimated an.
nual income of 100000.
This, we figure, will let US elm
mate the maintenance and extension
charge of s1.60 per acre. and let the
farmer repay only the actual cost or
