Had Arm Amputated.

Otis Harris, negro who resides
in the Antioch section, made an in-
sulting remark to Mr.. Albert Lyon
while in Edgefeld some days ago,
and purchased a gun with which to
shoot him. Friday morning while
Mr.. Lyon was coming to Edgefield
with a load of cotton he met Otis
Harris who had the shot gun with
him. After some words were passed,
Harris shot Mr.. Lyon, nearly sew
ering his left arm. The fire was re-
turned, the negro being shot sever
al times. At first it was thought
that Mr.. Lyons arm could be saved,
but as blood poisoning was about to
set in he was carried to the hospital
in Augusta Monday night, where
his arm was amputated four inches
below the shoulder. Otis Harris and
another NEGRO were placed in jail
Saturday, and were later carried to
the penitentiary by Sheriff w. G.
QUITS for safe keeping.

MIR. James Gregg Jones.

After a lingering illness, Mr..
James Jones passed peacefully away
Thursday last. The interment took
place in the family burial ground
Friday morning. About three years
ago, soon after entering upon a sue
cessful business career in Atlanta,
Mr.. Jones became the victim of a
stubborn malady. In the hope of re-
gaining his health he resided in Ell
paso, Texas, two years. Then he
returned to- Atlanta and about a year
ago came to Edgefeld. During his
long illness he has received the best
medical attention but nothing could
check the ravages of the disease, his
strength steadily failing all the
while. The devotion of Mr.. Jones
mother to him throughout his long
illness was exceedingly beautiful.
Mr.. Jones was member of the
Methodist church at Trenton. de is
survived byhis mother, Mrs. o. L.
Miller, his father, Mr.. J. A. G.
Jones having died about fifteen
years ago.

Edgefield's Talented Artist.

AS work of art each succeeding
product or creation of Miss Eliza Minis
genius excels the preceding one. Moth
ing that she has placed upon canvas
during her career as an artist has caus-
ed more favorable comment than have
elaine" and Spring" two of her la
latest large paintings. At the county
fair and at the Georgia. Carolina fair
these surprisingly lovely paintings af-
forded feast for thousands of APPROX
ing and appreciative eyes. Those also
who have seen these large paintings in
Miss Minis studio have pronounced
them par excellence her master pieces.
In way, it has been a misfortune
that Miss Minis did not in early life
locate in New York, Boston or some
other large city where her talent would
have been more widely known and
probably more highly appreciated,
causing her to be one of the foremost
artists of this day and generation.
However, on account of her inherent
modesty, together with her devotion
for her home and loved ones, she chose
rather to remain in Edgefeld, where,
though her light is in measure hid
under bushel, she is not among the
prophets who are without honor in their
own country.

Thanksgiving Day is Novem
Ger 3Oth.

"When is Thanksgiving Day?'
is the question that has been asked
frequently within the last few days.
The correct answer is Thursday,
November 30th.
The president of the United
States sets the date, and Mr.. Taft
has named the 3Oth. There is some
confusion as to the custom, wheth-
er it is usual to select the fourth
Thursday or the last Thursday in
November, a distinction which is
not important unless there are five
Thursdays in the month of Novem-
ber, as there are this year. Pre-
suming that the fourth Thursday
would be selected, many calendar
makers printed their calendars with
the fourth Thursday, which is the
23rd, as Thanksgiving Day; but Mr..
Taft ruined their work when he is
sued his proclamation on October
3Oth.
So that Thursday, ovember
3oth, and not Thursday, the 23rd, is
Thanksgiving Day.

Gave Harmful Advice.

A report reached Edgefeld Mon
day morning to the effect that
body of about so citizens has seized
upon Rev. George Blocker, col
ored preacher who resides five miles
west of Edgefeld, and had given
him a whipping. 1t is said that Rev.
Blocker has recently been giving
the colored people advice that was
calculated to cause i'll feeling and
friction between the races. Accord
ing to the report current, several
colored people We're with the body
of citizens and stated that they had
heard Rev. Blocker's incendiary re-
marks. Rev. Blocker it is said was
ordered to leave and not return to
the community again.

Paying Taxes Slowly.

AS the county treasurer's Office
has been open about a month for
the collection of taxes, the writer
asked Mr.. J. T. Minis a few days
ago how the people are paying as
compared with last year. He stated
that he has collected only about
$1,000 this year, which is only
about half what was paid during
the same time last year. The delay
in paying is either due to the de-
cline in cotton or to the fact that
farmers have been unusually busy
this fall.
1t would be much better for the
treasurer, for the county and for
the people themselves if they would
Iiay up as promptly as possible. If
your taxes are a nightmare pay
them and have the dread over with.

S. c.. c. l. Cadets Attended
Aiken Fair.

The Aiken Journal had the fcl-
lowing to say concerning the visit
of the S. G. G. I. cadets to that
city last Wednesday:
The battalion of cadets from the
South Carolina Co-Educational In
stitute arrived in Aiken Wednesday
morning at 9 o'clock, having chart
cred a special train for the occasion.
The battalion was under the com
mand of the commandant, Major
T. J. Lyon; Capt. w. Y. Quarles
commanding Company A, Capt. L.
NJ. Smith commanding Company
B. The battalion was accompanied
by Col. Bailey, with score of the
young ladies and number of Edge
field folks:
The cadets repaired Immediately
to the fair grounds. and there exc
cuted various and intricate field
movements and manoeuvres with an
accuracy and precision that did
them great credit and spoke we'll
for the drill masters of this excel
lent institution.
At 1880 the cadets formed in
line of parade and at the entrance
to the fair grounds received the
Confederate veterans under the com
mand of General league, escorting
them to the grand stand, where the
troop was met by the United
Daughters of the Confederacy.
After the rendition of the Bonnie
Blue Flag" General league intro
duced the orator of the day, Hon.
Jas. Talbert, himself survivor of
the sWar between the states.
Mr.. Talbert took fpr his subject
"The Confederacy" and throughout
his address confined himself strictly
to his subject, never DEPRESSING to
touch upon the political situation of
the day. He treated the Confedera-
cy" in his enthusiastically eloquent
and dignifed manner, vividly de-
picting the hardShips and struggles
of the war. In, the course of his re-
marks he paid beautiful and most
touching tribute to the women of
the Confederacy and the Daughters.
At $3.50 the cadets to the num-
Der of sixty-fve stretched out across
the field and entered into an indi-
vidual competitive drill, executing
the manual of arms for an hour with
such snap and perfection that for a
time the judges were at loss how
to decide. But after much patience
and close scrutiny they had elimi-
mated all but two, Corporal Banks
and Sergeant Thomas, both of Com
pany B, when a thrilling error also
eliminated Corporal Banks, leaving
Sergeant Thomas winner of the first
prize, purse of $40, the second
prize of So going to the Corporal.
The cadets returned to Edgefield
Wednesday evening on a special
train, leaving Aiken at 6 p. m.

1911, all during the day and that

copal church will have bazaar in

Capt. j. Hampden Brooks.

The body of Capt. J. Hampden
Brooks was brought from Colum-
bia to Edgetield Thursday morning
last for interment in the Brooks
square in the village cemetery. The
train was met by a large number of
friends who also attended the ap-
propriate exercises Ethat were con-
Quoted at the Episcopal church by
Rev. r. G. Shannonhouse.
Capt. Brooks was born in Edge
field and spent his early life here.
Although he has been identified
with Greenwood county since that
county was formed, yet he has
never ceased to love .Edgefeld and
the people of his native town. Capt.
Brooks, like many of the other
brave men who bore the name, made
a brilliant record as a soldier, and

Capt. J. A. White.

Another Confederate veteran has
Joined the ranks on the other shore.
Capt. J. A. White, better known in
Edgefeld as Capt. Gus White, de-
parted this life early yesterday
morning. Several years ago he
suffered stroke of paralysis from
which he never recovered, all along
though manifesting remarkable vi
tality and strength under the affiic-
ton. Recently his health began to
fail and he steadily declined to the
end. But even, in the last days and
hours of his illness Capt. White
seemed possessed of very remarka-
BILE vitality.
No braver soldier ever wore the
Confederate uniform than Capt.
White. His name was seldom men
toned that some reference was not
made to his bravery and distinguish
ed service as soldier. Capt. White
also took prominent part in res
toring order out of chaos in the
trying times of '76. He was noted
for his unselfishness and readiness
to sacrifice This personal interests,
if need be, in order to promote the
welfare of others. Capt. White was
a member of the Baptist church.
The funeral will be held this morn
ing at eleven o'clock. He is survived
by his devoted wife.

Presbyterian Bazaar

The ladies are leaving nothing
undone in. making their plans for
the bazaar which they are to hold in
the armory on December the l4th.
We hope by that time cotton will
be selling for l2 cents so these the
ladies will take in bushels of gold,
silver and 'greenbacks." That is
what they deserve for their faithful
efforts in behalf of their church.
Never mind, it does not matter what
cotton is selling for, the patronage
Of the Presbyterian bazaar will be
large. Besides the turkey and oys-
ters and ambrosia and other nice
things, the social feature is always
very pleasant. Remember the date,

he. The grand jury committees
never failed to compliment him up
on the very excellent manner in
which the affairs of his Office were
kept.
Judge Allen will be seen no more
among us, yet his influence will
never die. This community has been
peculiarly blessed in having him re-
side here for more. than a quarter
of century. A generation produces
but few such men as he. As citi-
zen and officer he had but few peers.
Judge Allen was never married,
and is survived by his only sister,
Mrs. w. T. Kinnaird, with whom
he resided.

ney pills were being advertised at
