An Inviolate Rule.

A former citizen of Edgefield
county one of the best men that
the old county ever reared, but
now resident Of a state in
the m i d d e-w e S t, wrote the
editor of The A d V ert is e +
a personal letter last week in which
he pointed out the sterling qualities
of a certain candidate for office in
this county, requesting that the
facts be given to the public. We
know, in part AT least, that every
word contained in the letter is alb
solutely true, but The Advertiser
endeavors to be fair to all of the
candidates, hence we rust refrain
from making public that which,
personally, we would like to see in
print. Absolute Justice and fair
ness to all alike, is a rule thai this
holds inviolate.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1912-06-05

Whitefeld and Wesley led to great
activity in missions, and William
Carey in 1892 started the movement
of spreading the gospel around the
world. The sailing Of Adoniram'
Judson, who became the first mis-
sionary of Southern BaptistS, was
co-existent with the founding of the
Red Oak Grove church in February
1912.
DR.. Jeffries spoke of the effect of
transportation upon missions, con-
trasting the handicaps experienced
by the pioneers with the modern
travelling facilities. He also dwelt
upon the rapid means of communi-
cation which this generation enjoys.
DR.. Jeffries referred to the or
ganization of the Southern Baptist
convention in Augusta in 1915.
Alter calling attention to the fact
that the first president of the con-
vention was South Carolinian, he

Do Not Make Good Our Claims.

1t is pretty hard to convince the
average Northern farmer that we
can grow over 200 bushels of corn
on an acre, when the average yield
is less than twenty bushels. The
South will never be in the Corn
Belt until we make a better average
yield than twenty bushels per acre.
Some of our people are fond of
boasting of the fertility Of our soils
but those who know our crop yields
per acre do not believe our soils
fertile. Likewise, we talk much Of
the forage we can grow, but our
claims are discounted by the fact
that we buy feeds for livestock. We
boast of our ability to grow two
and three forage crops per year, but
discredit ourselves by failing to
grow even one. 1t is true that we
can grow two or three crops a yea AZ
on the same land, but this truth is
no value as long as we buy hay and
pay the heavy transportation charges
from the Northern States.-P To-
gressive Farmer.

Flower Mission Meeting.
Trenton, S. c,

The annual Flower Mission meet
ing of the w. c. 7. U. was held
Monday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. w. B. Cogburn. A large
number of members were present,
and the occasion was enjoyable as
we'll as profitable. Two very in
tercsting personal "reminiscences
were related by DR.. and Mrs. JEFF
fries of the life of Jennie Casseday,
the originator Of the Flower Mis-
sion. Little Ouida Pattison recited
beautifully d very appropriate Sc
lection entitled THE use of flow
ers,' and Mrs. Mamie Tillman read
a poem Angels in Disguise"

spoke of the prominent part that
this state has had in the work of the
convention all down through the
years.
There was never a time" said
the speaker, when the great COM
mand was needed as it is to-day.
One hundred years ago the doors
of all of the heathen nations were
closed, while to-day the cry for help
comes from practically all of them.
The field is white unto the harvest.
The great need is more laborers. III
1888 the Southern Baptists con-
tributed $40, ZOO for foreign mis-
sions. The total amount last year
was $5so,0OO. Thirty years ago the
number of conversions on the for
eign fields was $50 in year, while
last year there were 4,3O0. The
average contribution per capita of
Southern Baptists to foreign mis-
sions is % cents, while the average
in this state is 3S cents. The aver
age contribution of each mem Der
of the Baptist church at Edgefeld
for foreign missions is Sl.5O."
DR.. Jeifries made reference to the
important part that Red Oak Grove
church had filled in the mission
work of the Edgefeld ASSOCIATION,
the ladies Of the church enjoying
the distinction of having the oldest
missionary society in the entire as
sociation. While DR.. Jeffries' ad-
dress consumed nearly an hour, yet
he spoke so earnestly and interest
ingly that it seemed to be less than
half an hour in length. The very
excellent discourse was well receiv-
ed and we are constrained to be-
lieve that good results will follow
the impressions made.
Feast for the Body.
The program for the forenoon be-
ing completed, recess for one hour
was announced. 1t is but stating a
plain, honest truth, without intend
ing any disparagement of any part
of the program, to say that one of
the most attractive features on pub
lie occasions in Edgefeld county is
that which is presented out under
the oaks, served from the festive
board instead of from the rostrum.
This is rendered undeniably true
because of the skill of the good
women in the culinary art, together
with the generous hospitality that
is characteristic Of the Edgefeld
men. The faithful founders of the
Grove church were doubtless as
loyal in their devotion and as un-
selfish in their service as the present
membership, but we venture the
statement that they could not then
have fed the throng of Sunday in
as pIincely a manner as it was
feasted. With only ovens and
skillets, instead of stoves and
ranges, such a feast would have
been as impossible as for one who
was handicapped by human limita-
tions to have fed the multitude
with the five loaves and two fishes.
