Death of Miss Ruth Mays.

The newly-made mound in Horns
Creek cemetery marks the resting
place of all that was mortal of Miss
Ruth Mays, her body being borne
to the grave by her classmates,
young men of the senior class of the
South Carolina Co-Educational In
stitute. The announcement of her
death last Thursday fell like pail
upon this community, where she
was so widely and sincerely beloved.
Being gentle, amiable, sweet
spirited, always kind and thought
full of others, everybody was Ruth
Mays friend. What wonder then
that her death has caused such pro-
found sorrow among the host of
friends who loved her. Though she
was upon the threshold of young
womanhood, yet we think of her
as but little girl with a sweet
smile and bright, CHEEKY word for
her friends wherever she met them.
She was a member of Horns
Greek church, where the funeral
was conducted Friday afternoon,
DR.. M. d. Jeffries officiating.

Entertained in Honor of Miss
Shores.

The leading social event of last
week was an elaborate reception
that was given Thursday afternoon
from $3.50 to $50 by Mrs. A. E.
Padgett in honor of Miss Lois
Shores of Spartanburg. A spirited
guessing contest was engaged In
soon after the score and more of
guests arrived. The prize, silver
hat pin, fell to the lot of Miss Pearl
Padgett. The hostess presented the
guest of honor with a beautifully
bound copy of Byron's poems. The
vocal solos by Miss Madge Turner
and the instrumental selections by
Miss Edwardina Blalock, two of
Edge6eld's most gifted young mu-
sicians, added greatly to the pleas
ure of the afternoon. Beautiful
Christmas cards were presented to
the guests as souvenirs. The hostess
served sslad course.

Slow Paying Taxes.

The people are not falling over
each other to get to the county
treasurer's desk, this being shown
by the very small number of receipts
that have been issued UP to this
time. Mr.. J. T. Minis, the county
treasurer, told the Advertisers rep
resentative yesterday that up to this
date he has collected only about
$4,000 which is but little more
10 per cent of the entire amount of
taxes on the books. The collec-
tions last year were much larger
than for the same period this year.

A Near-IdeaI Condition.

With the coming of Rev. E. G.
Bailey, the Presbyterian minister,
early in the new year, Edgefeld
will again have her full quota of
ministers, and we have reason to
believe that the same spirit of cor,
dial good fellowship and brotherly
love will continue to prevail among
them in the future as during the
past eight years. Some communities
are so unfortunate as to have at
times an undercurrent of sectarian-
ism or denominational antagonism.
For many years Edgefeld has been
spared this unpleasant and unprof-
table experience. May it be SO on
and on and on till the final sbugle
blast is heard.

chances of death by lightning are

MORE FAMILIES JOIN
THE OMAHA COLONY

Three more eastern families have
come to Grants Pass to locate, those
of George c. Metcalf, w. R. Gregg
and E. R. Whitlock, They come di-
rect from st. Louis, Mo-, though for
merly from Omaha, Neb.
Mr.. Metcalf for S2 years has been
chief clerk in the auditors office Of
the Pacific Express company, and
the other gentlemen associate en-
ployes with him. The gentlemen are
old acquaintances of the Cramer
Brothers and were influenced to
come here by A. n. Parsons, who for
many years represented the Ameri-
can Express company at Omaha,
Kansas City and other cities Of the
middle west. Through Mr., Parsons
they purchased large tract of
choice land adjoining the Rogue
River Orchard company, after an in
vestigation at Medford and other
districts. The quality of their red
soil was approved by Prof O'Gara,
who stated that it was the very best
for pears, and they now plan to de-
velop pear orchard on an extensive
scale as fast as possible. They have
purchased team and at once began
hauling lumber for the immediate
construction of their bungalows.
Mr.. Parsons has accomplished
good work In bringing so many OF
his eastern friends here to assist
In and profit by the development OF
this city and the surrounding coun-
try. The Omaha Colony" here is
constantly increasing, and the most
gratifying feature is the class OF
people arriving.

HAS LARGE AMOUNT sUBsCRIB-

SEASOV OPENS MAY 18TH
Active Ditch Construction To Be
Started on Big Scale in
Few Weeks.

George e. Saunders, who is in
Chicago In connection with irriga-
tion matters, has advised his office
here that he has succeeded in hav-
ing fund Of $4,000 subscribed for
the purpose of carrying on ditch con-
struction until May 15, when the
irrigation season opens, and that he
is now making collections on these
subscriptions.
This is indeed good news to the
business men. the ranchers, and the
laboring men, as 1t means steady
payroll during the winter and spring
months when other work is prac-
ticaliy at standstill. 1t also means
that the rancher and landowner can
now begin clearing his raw land pre-
paratory to receiving water the COM
ing season.
Upon Mr.. Saunders return to
Grants Pass, which will probably be
within the next week, active ditch
construction will be started and
pushed vigorously all winter long,
and at the opening of the irrigation
season Of 1912 there will be some
forty miles Of main canals and
bitches.

BRICK WORK ON C0E
BUILDING INTERRUPTED

Work Of remodellng the Coe
building came to q sudden stop Mon
day as the result of a disagreement
between the brick contractor, Fred
f. Smith and Joseph Harper, car
penter, who is employed to supern-
tend the general remodeling of the
block.
An | beam at the northeast corner
of the structure, one that supports
the new brick work, is fraction
lower than the old work. Smith
stated today that II was impossible
to make the new brick line up just
TO a hair line with the old brick on
account Of this defect, but that
Foreman Harper insisted that this
be done. Contractor Smith resented
interference Of carpenter with a
brick mason and pulled his men off
the Job. About IL men were af-
fected.
Other brick masons have been Sc
cured from surrounding towns and
the work is again being pushed as
fast as possible to take advantage Of
the present fine weather.

STATE WILL REST0CK
WITH CHINA PHEASANT

For the purpose of restocking the
state with Reeves pheasants and
China pheasants, the state fish and
game commission has made a three
year contract with Eugene M. Simp-
son Of Corvallis, whereby Simpson
Will give his exclusive services to
the state, as we'll as the use OF his
excellently equipped game farm.
Simpsons success In the rearing of
wild game birds guarantees the
state against any possible loss.
The rearing of wild game birds
suggests an industry that is prscti-
cally unknown, Raising pheasants
Is no more difficult than raising
poultry yet II is far more profitable.
In the same measure that everyone
fails to succeed In the latter will
the. facts demonstrate the former,
There is wide market for pleas
ants, and the demand originates In
all parts of The United States.
Under the Oregon law. pheasants
raised in captivity, whose wings
have been pinioned before they are
able to fly, may be sold directly to
the consumer, providing permit to
ship alive is secured from the state
game warden. This law Is definite
ly set forth IN section 2325, Lord $
Oregon Laws, which is a provisional
exception to section 1904. The re-
cent fuss over serving China pheas-
ants at the presidential banquet In
Portland, October IL, arose over the
failure Of the newspaper writer's to
read the whole law. They based
their objections upon a part of the
law. The statutes would not have
been overridden, had the pheasants
been served, as plain reading of
tue law pTONeb'
It is unlawful to sell the birds
during the open season, only during
the closed, which enables the game
warden to keep a perfect record OF
every bird that is shipped In the
state. It encourages the rearing OF
the birds, which is benefit. In
other words, an industry OF consid-
cradle proportions is created.
The state is willing to cooperate
with those who wish to raise pleas
ants, even to providing the eggs, In
struction as to rearing and personal
attention when required,

VETERINARY LANCE AS
AID TO COLLECT BILL

AS the result of an alteration at
six o'clock Tuesday night between
Walter (Jack) Oglesby and ]. H.
Woodbridge, a veterinary, Oglesby
was wounded behind the shoulder
with knife, the weapon being des-
cribed more accurately as a small
lance, such as is found in a sur
geon's collection of instruments.
The trouble occurred in Burk-
halter's stable ON Sixth street. A
physician sewed up the wound in
0glesbys flesh, wound which is
said to have been some inches long,
but not deep. After the operation
Oglesby went to the ranch of rel
ative The wounded man has for
som time been the woods boss for
the Three Pines Lumber company,
but quit his duties there when the
mill recently shut down.
It Is alleged that the trouble be-
tween the two originated over a
fee which Woodbridge claimed to be
due for treating a sick horse. 0g-
lesby took a horse to Burkhalter's s
stable He stated that he did not
own the animal, but had II on trial,
and might purchase During Ogles-
by's absence from the stable the
horse became sick, and one Of the
stable employees sent for Veterinar-
ian Woodbridge, who treated the anil
NAL. Later oglesby and Woolridge
were at the stable at the same time,
when the matter OF fee for treat
Ing the animal came up II is stated
that oglesby demurred at paying for
the services OF the veterinary, claim
Ing that, In the first place, he did
not own the horse; second, that he
had not summoned any one to treat
II. Then an argument arose, soon
to result in a physical combat, with
the result that oglesby was wound
cd.
One Of the employees Of the stable
stated this morning: I'VE regret
the occurrence; both men are good
fellows. and II is unfortunate that
the incident occurred. - far al
the horse is concerned we will not

BOOKS ARE
BEING EXPERTED

o. F. Callison, employed to ex-
pert the books of the various county
officials of Josephine county, will
not go back farther than six years,
although seventeen years have ex-
pired since an expert went through
the records. An official of the
county, in speaking of this, stated
that as bondsmen were exempt after
six years that it was not deemed nec-
essary to go beyond that date.
Mr.. Callison has contracted with
the county court to do the work for
salary of $40 day, he to employ
his own help, and to aid him he has
secured the services of W. H. Fal-
len.
1t will probably be the first of
the year, or later, before the task
is finished.
