A factory equipment valued at millions OF

Business Men to Organize.

The Advertise is pleased to learn
that the business men of the town are
planning to organize along the line
suggested in our editorial of two weeks
ago. A mass meeting is called for
Thursday afternoon of this week in
the court house at four o'clock for the
purpose of organizing Board of Trade
or Chamber of Commerce. This is a
very important meeting. Other neign-
boring towns have organized and are
reaping good results from their organi-
cations. If Edgefeld is ever to take
on new life, secure better railroad ia
cilities and establish many needed
small enterprises, we must begin by
first effecting an organization through
which united efforts can be put forth.
The editor of The Advertiser will be
absent Thursday afternoon, therefore
unable to attend the mass meeting,
but we pledge our loyal support and
cooperation.

Has Helped Edgefeld.

Without any flourish of trumpets or
making much ado over what it has
achieved, the Edgefeld Building and
Loan Association has gone quietly for
ward with its work of contributing to
the material wealth of Edgefeld by
adding scores of residences and sever
al commercial buildings to the taxable
property of the town. This much has
been accomplished by the officers Of
tine association without any great
amount Of effort, all OF, them being
busy men who have their time largely
occupied with other business. If 9th
ers would join with this handful of bu-
siness men in inducing citizens who
have idle capital to take stock in the
association, thus giving it more money
to operate upon, it would not be long
before dozens of persons who are now
renting homes would occupy homes Of
their own. The Advertiser heartily ia
vors whatever will contribute to the
material wealth of Edgefeld, therefore
we heartily commend the work of the
local building and loan association.

Interesting Letter From Rev. j
r. Walker.

Between Quebec and Father
Point, Canada, Saturday night,
June IA, 1918.
Dear friends, Care The Advertiser.
Tonight at Father Point is orf
last chance to mail anything until
we reach Glasgow, Scotland, Mon
day, June 90.
I will attempt only short letter
to our many friends tonight, though
we have enjoyed our trip thus far
enough to write long one.
In Philadelphia last Sunday We
attended two ehildren's day services,
second Sunday in June being chill
dren's day in northern Methodist
church. One of these services was a
great open air meeting.
The trip from Philadelphia to
Niagara Falls on the Lehlgh Valley
railroad is through beautiful
country. The railroad follows the
Lehigh river for nearly 200 miles,
then 35 miles along lake Seneca.
This lake with the gently rising
green fields beyond makes fine
view.
just as I am writing this a Ne
braskan is playing Dixie. Nearly
all our people on this tour are from
Canada and our own north and
west, but you ought to hear them
applaud Dixie. In this parenthesis
I might add that five people from
Florida and Mrs. Walker and / are
the only southern people on this
tour. There are others going to
Zurich on other tours. In our get
ting acquainted meeting tonight,
when ] stated that was from away
down in Dixie, was applauded.
We have a splendid set of people
from many places.
To go back, Niagara Falls is DE-
youd description. 1t is worth a
200 mile trip to zee. From Nj
agara we crossed the western end
of lake Ontario to Toronto, Ontario,
The city of churches" /" There are
about 40 Methodist and 40 Presby-
terian churches in Toronto. The
Methodists lead in Toronto, but the
Presbyterians in all Canada, with
the Methodists close second. The
Presbyterian of Canada were hold
ing great congress with 1000 or
5, 200 members.
Mail is now closing.
Hastily,

Agriculture in the Public Schools.

For some time there has been a
growing sentiment in favor of teach
ing agriculture in the public school. In
some states this is being done already.
We feel confident that no department
can be established or be added to the
present course that will prove more
helpful than course in farming. Think
of what very small per cent. of men
who engage in agriculture ever attend
an agricultural college. Of course, it
does not follow that those who attend
agricultural colleges make a success
of farming; but, all things else being
equal, the young man who is given
technical knowledge and scientific IN
struction in college will make a
greater success upon the farm than
one who is no better equipped than were
his forefathers.
Teach boy the value of properly
selecting seed for planting, the neces.
sity of having soil we'll supplied with
vegetable matter, the Importance OF
preparing the land so it will retain a
maximum amount of moisture, the rea.
sons for using different kinds of com.
mercial fertilizers upon different soils
and under different crops, the impor.
tance of systematic rotation, together
with scores of other things, and IL will
not be many years before the rura
districts will make great strides for
ward.
One of the most helpful things that
the Clemson college authorities ever
did was the providing of one-yeal
agricultural course. While this will
be of inestimable benefit to scores and
hundreds of young men, yet there are
teeming thousands who can not even
avail themselves of this limited course.
The Advertiser stands for instruction
in agriculture IN the public schools. Of
course, the benefit to be derived will
depend largely upon the kind of in
struction books used and upon the
capabilities of the instructors.

Thoughtless Youth.

What is to be done with our thought
less youths when their thoughtlessness

have developed the good side of life.

In March 1919 I was asked by
our president to assist her with the
duties of historian, as the regular
historian, Mrs. Susan 3. Hill, was
presiding over our meetings during
the enforced absence of our presi-
dent. I had before this time offered
my services to Mrs. Holstein, being
willing to help her in any way pos
sible. So 1 took up the work of
acting historian.
In that position commenced the
task of preparing for our chapter
as near a complete history of the
work done by our chapter since its
organization, the papers read, the
celebrations held, together with the
entire roll of men sent from our
county to the war between the
states, with the casualties attending
as I possibly could. I also at
tempted to get a sketch, however
short, of each man represented by a
Daughter in our chapter. In this
latter endeavor I have not been en-
tirely successful, as the ladies have,
in many instances failed to respond
to my insistencies.
In June of 1919 I was elected
your historian, since which time
have striven fait' fully to perform
the duties devolving upon the Office
continuing the history upon which
l had been engaged as acting his
torian.
I had hoped to be able to com
pete for the banner offered by Mrs
L. H. Rainees of Savannah, in 1912
for the greatest amount of history
prepared by a division or chapter,
bnt alone | could not do it. Our
division did not compete.
This year it has been my object
to send in our history to our divis
ion historian, for preservation
among the U. D. G. archives in
Columbia, in time for her report tc
the historian general. After some
correspondence with her it appears
that it would be the proper thing
for our history to be presented to
the division during it's convention
in Edgefeld, as it would there be
taken as pretty compliment from
the hostess chapter. Miss Wash.
ington, our division historian, sug-
gests that we mention the matter to
Mrs. Graham, our division presi.
dent, and request that time be given
for the presentation; although she
also suggests it would be better to
keep our records in our own chap.
