Resolutions on the Death Of
Miss Alice Salter.

On Wednesday September is,

our midst and carried from earth
to heaven another one of our very
best members, Miss Alice Sa!trr
Her smiling face, her quiet influence
her loving charity, her beautiful de-
votion to her society and church
will always linger in our memory.
Though her suffering was long and
painful she boro it with perfect
Christian fortitude. Through the
valley of the shadow of death she
feared no evil.
Whereas, our Heavenly Father
hath called her into that rest that
remaineth for the people of God be

of it's most valued members.
End. That we bow in humble sub

Largest Painting in The World.

Columbia, November 8, Especially.
The longest painting ever execut.
ed in this country or abroad, ac'
cording to authentic statements,

tion. The canvas will cover about
1900 square feet of space, and $50
pounds OF dry paints Of various col
ors will be necessary in the exccu,
tion of the task.
The artist who will transform
this material into a mammoth work
of art is Mr.. E. E. Sprague of Co.
lu,nbus, Ohio. Mr.. Splsgue execut-
ed a somewhat similar, though
smaller, piece of work for the fourth
national corn exposition held at Co
lumbus last year. The high artistic
quality of the work and the wide
variety of subjects and scenes, at
tracted instant attention and aroused
wide comment. Mr.. Spragbe is now
a resident of Columbia, and is at
present superintending the erection
of the frame work for the support
of this enormous stretch of canvas.

begin with Ills hru.il and paints
upon the ritr,ic task. NJ. Spr.gue

the influence of the church.
These are only a few thoughts
taken from his sermon. We only
wish we could report it fully. =
The Methodists Of this communi-'
ty are not strong numerically, nsi-
ther are they among the rich claaD,
but be it said to their credit they
kept persistently. st their work and
now they have as nice and comfort
able house of worship az can be
found in any country community.
Rev. Mr.. Gillespie in whose pasto-
rate the house was built, was the
prime mover in the work. Another
fact not insignificant by any means,
is that q Methodist church cannot
be dedicated until every debt on the
building has been pail. Rev. Mr..
Walker, the pastor, presented the
last witness in this respect, viz: e
note from the bank paid on the pre-
vious day. The Method:sts have
monument to their loyalty and the
outlook is bright for the future.
Dinner was served on the grounds
and in the afternoon Rev. Hamlin
Etheredge of Columbia, but former
ly of this place, preached an inter
esting sermon. Mr.. Etheredge al
ways brings a good message to his
old home and the friends Of his
bvyhood days are always glad to
hear the message he brings and
wish him God speed in his work
for the Master.
"Tho your sins be as scarlet" was
sung by Miss Roseva Harrison.
With the pastors of the four
churches standing in the pulpit The
song "Biest be the tie'', was sung,
and the service was closed.

letter Market Than Augusta.

Ar. P. H. Bussey, than whom
here is no better citizen in the
Eate, was IN town Saturday, and
3hile in conversation with The Ad-
3ertiser's representative remarked
hat Edgefeld has been better
otton market than Augusta this
all. He lives on the public road
! nd has seen farmers who sold at
Edgefeld and others who sold cot
|on in Augusta, and he has decided
hat our market has been the best
market for the farmers. Coming
rom so excellent a source, that 10
very strong endorsement for Eds

The theme of his discourse was the
influence of the church to the com
munity. His reasoning was clear
and forceful. His arguments show
ed that the church is the fountain
head of all good in community.
All progress through the ages, both

at the home of MIR. M. T. Turner.
Numerous japanese lanterns lighted
up the verandas, and the pergola.
Mr.. Turner acted as the conductor,
and Mrs. Turner, in an exquisite
imported Japanese costume greeted
the passengers at the front, and in
troduced them to her visitor from
China, (Mr. J. Howard Payne) who
wore an imperial robe. The entire
decorations we'll carried out the
country, with the flags of Japan,
and the electric lights were enclosed
in japanese lanterns. Large chrysan-
themums, the Japanese flower, filled
large vases. In the hallway, under a
huge Japanese umbrella, and seated
upon cushions was a group of Japa-
nese- Mrs. O. D. Black with sev-
eral small children. They wore the
full costume and attracted much at
tention. Across iRto the parlor, in
q Japanese corner, two natives,

sat upon cushions and played on
stringed instruments. Miss Zena
Payne invited the different parties
to the dining room for "tcha and

decoration. Much fun was had IS
some attempted to sit upon the
cushion, and take tea from the lab
orette. Four young japanese served,
