Painfully Injured by Fall.

The friends of Mrs. w. B. Cog
burn over the county will be panied
to learn that she fell at her home
early last night and broke her left
limb just above the ankle. While
Mr.. Cogburn had gone for the mail
the gas lights burned very low and
Mrs. Cogburn went to see if the
generator was out of order. Find
ing that the water almost exhausted
she was in the act of carrying a
bucket of water to pour in the gen.
orator when she fell, breaking her
limb. Carrying the bucket render
ed her unable to catch or break the
force of the fall. Besides the pain
and inconvenience involved, Mrs.
Cogburn's injury is deeply regretted
because it takes her for time from
the activities of the community life.
She is very useful woman in Edge
field. Mrs. Cogburn spent yesterday
hard at work at the fair building
arranging the w. G. T. U. rest
room.

Exquisitely Beautiful

If the men over the county mani
tested as much interest in the fair
as the ladies it would be made much
larger and more creditable. Special
mention deserves to be made of a
large box Of exquisitely beautiful
fancy work that was sent up a few
days ago by Mrs. M. E. Thurmond
to be exhibited at the fair. What
is it the ladies of Edgefeld can not
do? While inspecting these creasions
of Mrs. Thurmond's genius one is
made to marvel at their surprising
beauty. They should be sent to the
West-side fair and to the state fair.
Mrs. Thurmond is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. p. B. Whatley. Her
sister, Miss Lucille Whatley, is also
very gifted with the needle.

Linen Shower in Honor of Miss
Bailey.

Monday afternoon from to $50
a most delightful and original occa-
sion was enjoyed at the home of
Miss Eileen QUITS, when the fair
young hostess entertained in honor
of Miss Lille May Bailey.
The guests were provided at the
door with artistic hand painted SOU
venirs, the work of Miss Eliza
Minis, bearing on one side the ini-
tials of the bride and groom and on
the reverse side, the likeness of a
beautiful bride.
On entering the room the guests
saw at first glance an umbrella sus-
pended, in which each was placed
the linen for the shower which at
given signal tilted ard the shower
pel,ed the bride-to-be with many
varied and beautiful gifts, most of
them wrought by hand as labors of
love.
A unique musical contest gave
pleasant diversion, and resulted in
the winning of a beautiful book by
Miss Tisdale of the college faculty.
The same contest was engaged in
by the younger set who came later
in the afternoon, the prize, silver
belt pin, being awarded to Mrs. w.
G. Tompkins.
A delightful salad course with
coffee was served.
At O'Clock the younger genera
tion of Edgefeld, the school friends
and companions of the hostess and
guest of honor were entertained.
A musical program in which Miss
Tisdale was the vocal Istar was the
special feature of this part of the
occasion. The older set made
merry until the young peo-
pie warned them of approach
ing. and the Jolly company
dispersed, all looking for the time
when they might also be guests of
honor at the wedding shower.

Public Spirited Lady.

The writer has received some ex.
quisitely beautiful tatting, from
Mrs. MeIlichamp, the mother Of Mr..
Cuttino Mellichamp, to be exhibited
in the art department of the fair! In
the ass ortment are collars, centre
pieces, ETC., of the most intricate and
beautiful design. Mrs. Mellichamp
can not be too highly commended for
her interest in the fair. She has been
a resident of our county only few
short months, yet she is making
some very creditable exhibits.
Would that we had hundreds of
ladies who are as public spirited as
she.

Closing Days of Court.

The court of common pleas ad-
journed Thursday at noon, most of
the morning being consumed with
passing sundry orders.
The last case of any importance
to be tried was the suit brought by
Mr.. Josie Bush against the Western
Union Telegraph company for
$1,000 for the failure to deliver a
telegram. A verdict of $3.50 was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff.
Every inch of ground was contested
by able counsel on both sides.
The plaintiff was represented by
Messrs. Folk, Simkins and Thur
mond & Nicholson and the defend
ant by Nelson, Nelson d Gattis
and Tompkins and Wells. The
case willgbe carried to the supreme

owing to say of the Price cotton pick
,r:
"Since the Mason picker, there
have been made numerous at
tempts to put picker on the mar
ket. Some of them have failed
for want of money, and some by in
completeness OF design. Mr.. Prices
machine leaves about 21-2 per
cent in the field instead of 10 per
cent as Mason's did. The picking
is practically as near as can be
done by hand but little of the cot
ton drops from the picker making
the 1-2 per cent referred to. Mr..
Price has the advantages and dis
advantages of an automobile with
gasoline power against Mason's
mule power. One of the advan-
tages is cheap power, and one of
the disadvantages is carrying a
heavy machine through plowed
field. Mr.. Price says that he has
nine machines sold in Texas, work
ing on commercial basis. AS soon
as any new machine gets to where
it will stay sold it is more than apt
then to improve rapidly in efhcien-
cy and economy. 1t looks as
