Spent Week at Old Home.

Mr.. Joe Brunson, one of the
Edgeield Brunsons who strayed off
to Aiken some years ago, spent last
week swapping yarns, fighting mos
quitoes, and incidentally cate hing
few fish up on Beaver Dam. His an
nual visits to his brothers are always
enjoyed by his Edgeield friends
and relatives as well as by himself.
Mr.. Brunson stops in town both
going and coming, meeting with
his friends here. His visits to The

enjoyed. He attended the Memorial

with the old soldiers, which added

own. Mr.. Brunson, The Advertiser
suggests that you make your fish
ing excursions quarterly instead of
annually.

Candidate For Reelection.

Mr.. J. G. Byrd announces his
candidacy this week for reelection
to the position of public cotton
weigher for the town of Edge6eld. He
has served one term and durinc that
time has made a record to which he
can point with pride. The position
of cotton weigher is very difficult
one to fill, as the interests of the
buyer and seller are both at stake
and to give satisfaction in cases of
wet or damaged cotton is not an
easy matter. Mr.. Byrd has made an
honest effort to do justice to all,
and so far as we are informed has
succeeded about as we'll as it is pos
sible for mortal man to do. He asks
for reelection upon the record he
has made.

ing instead of Rev. P. P. Blalock.
As Mr.. Blalock has been connected
with the S. &C. /. faculty, and the
commencement this year is the last
one to be held in Edgefeld he
thought it best to attend the COM

morning, and for that reason re-
quested Mr.. Holland to fill the Gil

an interesting speaker and we are
confident that the congregation will
enjoy hearing him next Sunday.

South Carolina Wins Clash in
PENNSYLVANIA Court.

Lexington, May l9.-George Bell
Zimmerman, solicitor of this Cir.
cult, is to-day in receipt of letter
from the deputy clerk of the United
States court at Philadelphia in
which he states that the United
States district judge has overruled
the motion of Joe Grant, the negro
who is wanted in Edgefeld county
for the murder of J. T. burst at
Johnston in 1905, and remanded
the negro to the county prison to
await further developments, the at
torneys for Grant having taken an
appeal to the United States court Of
appeals of Pennsylvania.
Solicitor Zimmerman has not been
advised as to the date of the hearing,
but will at once get into communi.
cation with the Pennsylvania au-
thorities and will ask that he be per-
mitted to file written argument in
behalf of the state of South
Carolina, thus saving the state as
much as possible in the way of cost.
This decision means that Grant has
lost before the Pennsylvania state
courts and also ia the United States
court.
Mr.. Zimmerman felt confident all
along that the decision would be
against the negro and in favor of the
State of South Carolina, and is just
as confident now that he will win
in the United States court Of ap-
peals, and that the detention of the
negro only means stay of justice
and that Grant will soon be brought
back to this state to face trial at

Children's Day Exercises.

Following very beautiful and
long established custom, Children g
Day exercises we're held at the
Methodist church Sunday morning,
the superintendent, Hon. B. K.
Nicholson, presiding and giving di-
rection to the occasion. 1t was in
deed rare treat to see the sweet
little children perform their parts.
The well arranged program con-
sisted of recitations, songs and cho-
ruses, each number being faultlessly
rendered. Every Sunday schoui
should observe Children's Day. In
addition to the pleasure which the
congregation derives from such oc-
casions, the appearing in public de-
velops the children, and too the
moral truths and the impressions
that are made on their young
minds by the parts they learn go
with those who participate through
out their lives. The decorations
were especially attractive Sunday
morning. The choicest flowers
from Edgefeld's gardens were ar
ranged about the chancel and altar
in great profusion, forming q back
ground that added 10 the fairy like
appearance of the little tots who
took part in the exercises. A special
collection was taken U aid weak
Sunday schools and to establish
schools in foreign lands.

Fans in Americus have been wor-

the Empire league that did not col :
respond with the standing as publish

vestigate and correct their standings.
Yesterday morning they came out
corrected, and The Times-Recorder
assures the fans that our standing is
correct.
The Macon Telegraph knew that
there was a contested game throwa
out, but they got mixed up and TOOK
a win from the Muckalees and lose
from Thomasville. This was putting
the cart before the horse but they have
corrected their standing and have the
following to say about it:
"The game thrown out of the EI1-
pire league standings by the directors
at Townsville was won by Thomas
vile from Americas, and the changes
in the standings will be directly op-
posite to the ones given in The Tele-

what he had. And right then he be-
