The Zimmerman Tribe.

Last Saturday very unique and
exceedingly Ipl ssant social gather
ing was hell Al Pleasant Lane. The
children of Nc. and Mrs. n. D.
Zimmerman, both of hallowed
m emory, held . family reunion in
the grove near the old home. All of
the brothers an. sisters of this large
family attended Except Mr.. j. D.
Zimmerman. In ali there were sixty
/, odd Timmermans present, enough
to elect Woodrow Wilson and
but we do not know how about
forty of them would vote in the GU
bernatorial contest. As they par
took of the delightful barbecue din
ner which was furnished by Mr..
Arthur Zimmerman, the eldest Of
the brothers, they talked of child
hood experiences which were sug-
gested by the rocks and trees and,
in fact, everything about the dear
old homestead. May this large fsmi-
ly have many such happy occasions
in years to come.

Very Short Session Of c ourt.

Think of half of the petit jury
being discharged on the day court
opened! Well, that is the record
that Edgefeld has set.
The regular summer term of the
court of general sessions convened
Monday morning, with the Hon. ].
w. DeVore as presiding Judge. On
account of the illness of Solicitor
George Bell Zimmerman, his law
partner at Lexington, Cleveland
Callison, Esq, discharged the du-
ties of solicitor in highly creditable
manner. 4:
Soon after court convened the
grand jury passed on all indict-
ments handed out and the court got
down to real work at once. The
grand jury made its formal report
Tuesday morning and was discharg
ed. The report will be published in
full next week.
Only one case went to the jury,
that of Ben Ryan icharge ] with
stealing live stock. He was declar-
ed guilty and received sentence of
ls months on the county changing.
Mack Terry pleaded guilty to;the
charge of house breaking and lar
ceny and the Court handed out to
him a sentence Of ls months %
the public roads of the county.
Stump Williams and Buck Coats
threw themselves on the mercy of
the court by pleading guilty to the
charge of grand larceny. In his
wisdom Judge DeVore prescribed
an open air treatment of five years
duration as suitable cure for the
moral ills of these deft fingered
dusky gentry.
Will Little likewise "acknowl-
edged the corn" when confronted
with the charge of house breaking
and larceny, and the sentence of the
Court was that he shall put on the
whole armor of convict and battle
valiantly for the improvement of
the highways of Edgefeld county,
his term Of enlistment under Super
visor Wells being three years.
The cases against Simon Davis,
charged with assault with intent to
ravish, and Stump Hendrix, under
the Indictment for murder, were
both continued until the fall term
of court.
After sitting only about day,
the court adjourned sine die Tues
day at noon.

Superstition.

The cask still retains The odor of
the liquor it once held. The fact that
we wear mourning for the dead and
weep as though they were dead only
goes to prove that we are not quite
civilized; for these are still heather
customs in heather lands. Some of
US might be startled to know that
we are still guilty of idolatry and
retain some heather customs even
in the church of the living God!
Even in the sacred sacraments Of
baptism and the Lords supper we
detect superstition. Seneca said,
Superstition profanes the worship
of God" Voltaire, the supposed
celebrated Infdel, said on his death
bed, Il die adoring God, loving my
friends, not hating mine enemies,
and detesting superstition" 1t was
superstition which be and Thomas
Paine so bitterly fought in the
church. And both of them contrib
uted that much to religion. Do you
recall the words of Rousseau, an
other accused Infdel? Here they
are: Il think we cannot too strong
ly attack superstition, which is the
disturber of society; nor too highly
respect genuine religion, which is
the support of it." He was honest;
for some of US do sanction and sup
port it. And should one undertake
to remove it, as we will, some re-
ligionists will go about as sad as if
they had lost their God. Perhaps
they have lost all they know of
God. But Christianity says, super
stition must go, and the advocates
of it must go with it. "They cannot
serve God and mammon." Supersti-
ton is the yoke of CALLING religion.

Sings Georgia's Praises.

Mr.. S. Cheatham spent the past
week at his old home and with
relatives of the Cleora section.
While he processes to like his adopt
ed home and family sings Georgia's
praises, yet we could easily see in
his eyes longing for the rough,
rocky, red hills of EdgeGeld. One
who stumped his toes upon Edge
: field rocks when boy and who has
. climbed hills for something like a
half century does not easily become
acclimated when transplanted in
'>Georgia's sandy plains. A warm
welcome awaits Mr.. Cheatham when
he repents and returns to old Edge
field, his first love.

BANK
but WAS
CAUGHT

Shawnee, Okla, Aug. 14.-The issu-
ance of warrant Tuesday evening
for Francis j. Fleming, former part
owner and cashier Of the Union state
bank, made public the looting OF the
strong box of the bank and the sub.
sequent recovery Of the money. When
the safe was opened Monday morning
a sack containing $500 Of the reserve
fund in gold was found missing. Over
$4,000, $17OO Of which was also in gold
and the rest in currency, was not
touched Suspicion pointed to Flem.
ing, who recently sold his stock in
the bank to County Attorney C. p.
Holt.
Witnesses were found who had seen
Fleming in the bank At o'clock Mon.
day morning No one but Fleming and
the assistant cashier knew the com
blnation Of the safe or the fact that
the time lock was always set to open
about o'clock Monday morning. Con
fronted with the evidence, Fleming
weakened and dug up the money where
he had it buried in a potato patch
near town. The issuance Of the war.
rant followed.
Martin G. Fleming, uncle OF the ac-
cused man and for years his sponsor,
is president Of the bank Those who
saw Fleming in the bank Monday
morning thought nothing of it on ac-
count Of his former connection with
the institution
