only have cured bad cases of ecze.

Bitters, but also cured myself by
them of the same disease. I feel
sure they will benefit any case of

Portrait of General Butler.

The Daughters of the Confedera-
cy of South Carolina are planning
to have very handsome painting
of Gen. M. G. Butler placed in the
Confederate Museum at Richmond
Va. This is very laudable under
taking, and in keeping with the
spirit of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. This portrait will cost
about one hundred dollars. The
Edgefeld chapter feels peculiar
interest in this undertaking, be-
cause Gen. Butler was an Edgefeld
man, and they expect to contribute
tc, this portrait, at an early date,
from such funds as they can secure
among themselves. But like most
womens' organizations, they are
laboring for a holy cause, without
money and without price, and have
in their treasury no large sum to
give, not nearly so much as their
ambition and their high sentiment
in this matter would prompt them,
SO they announce that they will be
glad to receive any sum towards
this portrait, and the names will be
sent in from Edge6eld by the chap
ter President Mrs. j. D. Holstein.
Edgefeld should do the major part
in promoting this idea.

Morgan was at school with us on

It's very sad to the family, and the

Mrs. Florence Ewell Atkins in
Edgefield.

On Thursday morning Mrs. Flor
ence Ewell Atkins came over to
Edgefeld from Graniteville where
she had addressed an enthusiastic,
public meeting under the direction
of Deaconess Sands of the Episco-
pal mission at Hickman Hall on
Wednesday evening. While in
GIraniteyille she was. the guest Of
Esey. and Mrs. Graves L. Knight Of
the Baptist church. She care
over to Edgefeld for a rest, but she
did not find it, for Immediately on
her arrival she was informed that a
meeting of ladies had been ar
ranged for her at the home of Mrs.
B. B. Jones on Main Street. 4
Mrs. Atkins was equal to the oc-
casion, however, and charmed ev-
cry one of the parlor full of ladies
who were present. They were fair
ly captivated by her beauty and
wit, pathos and consecrated enthu-
siasm for a great and holy cause.
Mrs. Atkins is an example of the
infinite power of a cultured and
beautiful woman whose heart is
fixed on noble and altruistic call
ing. At this meeting at Mrs. jones'
home, seven new members were Sc
cured for the Edgefeld union.
Mrs. Jones very kindly served a
light, but refreshing course as the
ladies were leaving for their
homes.
So much pleased were those of
the ladies present from the college,
that Mrs. Atkins was invited to go
over in the afternoon and address
the students. This she did, and
we doubt not, in the hearts of those
young people who heard her, there
is a picture which will never be
forgotten, not only of her winsome
face, but of a lofty purpose, and in
spiration for future greatness. Mrs.
Atkins left on Sunday morning for
Langley under the supervision of
Mrs. Charles Aiken Holley of the
Methodist mission.

EYE TALK NO. 4
READING GLASSES

Why does man of forty-five or
fifty need reading glasses?
Because his eyes, which for dis
tant vision may be as good as ever,
can no longer focus objects close
by.
How do the glasses help him?
They shorten the focus to a
comfortable reading distance.
Can not almost anybody fit
glasses?
No person without proper equip
ment in the way Of necessary in
struments, and the knowledge of
their use should be employed to fit
glasses, as the eye must first be
measured and the glasses made up
to suit each particular case.

Decay of Handwriting,

The decay of handwriting was the
subject of a plant by a correspond
ent recently in the London Times.
THE steel pen" he wrote, was one
factor in altering the style and legi-
bility of writing, and the fountain pen,
in some of its varieties, has proved to
be still more harmful machine
Typing certainly secures legibility, but
that is not writing, and it is doing
much to discourage the practice of
caligraphy.
There is good reason to believe
that neat writing is neither taught nor
even encouraged in our great second
airy schools. Schoolmasters appear TO
accept any kind of bad writing. The
average boy or girl now takes little or
no pains to form letters. In other
words. they do not write at all Few
parents or teachers appear to take
any notice of this writing, and the let
ters of the last century which were
generally neat and legible, at the
hands of both sexes, certainly put us
to shame today"
This "laudator temporis acti" con-
cluded by n curious prediction that
posterity will have some severe COM
ments to make on the handwriting of
the twentieth century.
