Third Meeting of Rook Club.

The third meeting of the Pig
Town Rook club was held at the
home of Misses l.alie and Willie
Peak Tuesday afternoon. After a
very interesting program the Rock

the absence of one of the members
only one table could be used a
six hand game. The game was a.
very exciting one the winning part
ners being Willie Peak and Grace
Tompkins. The dainty prize was
awarded to Grace Tompkins.
Delicious refreshments were served
and while every one was partaking
of them Two visitors were announc-
ed. These, with the members of
the Rook club, made jolly crowd

Be Not Deceived.
Member.
(Communicated.)

Some one recently commenting
on infdels said that some people
were fool enough to believe that
there was no such thing. But the
speaker said that any man that
would spend Sunday habitually
sucking a newspaper, like a dog a
bone, not open Bible to read a
chapter and not offer a prayer was
the very worst stamp of an infdel,
even if he was a paying member
of a church. And he went on to say
that our community has a large
stock of this kind on hand. Just to
think of it: No Bible read, no
prayer offered, no church attended,
but stomach full of secular news
paper. If he is not an infdel, what
is he? The devil has some people
badly fooled. Don't let him fool
you. If man has a god he will
worship him. What do we wor'
ship?

Tribute to Mrs. J. c. johnson.

When the news came last Sun
day, June IA, that Mrs. G. j. John
son had peacefully passed away;
many hearts were saddened, many
tears were shed. Miss Cad" as
she was affectionately called by all
who knew her, had spent seventy
seven years in this community, and
had endeared herself to both white
and black, large and small.
In times of sorrow and distress
she had ever beer the one to who m
her neighbors turn l for help and
comfort, and she ne, er failed them.
When joys came, Miss Cad could
help enjoy them, as no one else;
hers was a versatile mind,
jolly happy nature. a strong un,
daunted soul, that made her COM
panionable and loved by all.
She leaves ane son, Mr.. J. w.
johnson, and faithful devoted
sister, Mrs. Mary Chamberlain,
with host of friends to mourn her
loss.
BLESSED are the dead which die
in the Lord, and their works do
follow after them.

Edgefield Cook Book.

The cook book which was COM
piled by Mrs. w. B. Cogburn,
Mrs. Fannie Tompkins and Mrs.

Advertisers job department last
week and is being very generally
admired. These ladies are now
offering the cook book for 50 cents,
the proceeds realized from their
sale to be used in equipping the
new Baptist church. The book is
we'll worth the price that is being
asked and a copy should be IN
every home in the county. The
book can be obtained from either
of the ladies named above or from

A Well Covered Building.

Judging from the armor-plate
roof that Mr.. Sanders is putting
on his brick mansion he must be
afraid that one of those Mexican
battleships will come up Beaver
Dam some dark night and lombard
Edgefeld. Mr.. Sanders had his
lieutenant, Mr.. W. S. 6. Heath,
put first a solid board sh' eting on
the rafters, then a covering of what
appears to be felt roofing and next
will come the metal tile, followed
By about two coats of paint. Such a
roof is guaranteed to prove i'm
pregnable to Mexican battleship.
Mr.. Sanders is building well, his
residence being a model for other
prospective builders to follow. In
what he undertakes, he proceeds
along the Chester6eldian doctrine
that, Whatever is worth doing at
all, is worth doing WELL"

Death of a Beloved Edgefield
Lady.

The sympathy of the entire eom,
munity goes out to Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur S. Tompkins, and the mem
hers of their home circle, in this
hour of bereavement caused by the
death of their daughter, Mrs. Marie
Tompkins Merrimon, which occur
red in Sumter Saturday afternoon.
Instead of being brought to Edge
field for interment, her mortal re-
mains were buried in the Sumter
cemetery beside the grave of her
little child. Everybody in Edge
field loved Marie Tompkins who
about six or eight years ago be-
came the wife of Mr.. Gus Merrl-
mon. who likewise has many friends
in Edge6eld. She was gentle, sweet
spirited, always greeting those with
whom she met with smiles and kind
words. She was member of the
Baptist church and q consistent
Christian. The Advertiser extends
sincere sympathy to the bereaved
loved ones.

Farmers Busy Planting Corn
and Peas. Tribute to Mrs.
Cartledge. Red Hill
Slnbeams.

The beautiful rain has come and
the farmers are very busy sowing
peas and planting corn. The cotton
is coming up and the last of this
week it will be thick to a stand.
Some report cotton blooms in some
fields while othc-s are just getting
theirs up.
. Mrs. George t.e1ge was buried
last Thursday al Rehoboth. Mr..
Cartledge died at the Margaret
Wright hospital where she was car
ried for an operation I months ago.
She was a great sufferer, but she
bore her suffering with patience as
becometh the children Of God. All
was done for her that could posi-
bly, done by faithful hands, nurses
and devoted husband, yet God saw
fit to carry her from this world Of
suffering. She leaves father, moth
er, one sister, one brother, devot-
ed husband and host of friends to
mourn her loss. The funeral was
conducted by her pastor, Rev. ].
T. Littlejohn. We extend our SYM

Mass Meeting to Discuss I'm
provement of Old Plank Road

A mass meeting was held here
Friday to devise means and
ways of improving the old Plank
road, the main thoroughfare leading
from Edgefeld to Augusta, particu-
larly that portion of the road which
lies between Trenton and the Aiken
county line. The supervisor of
Aiken county was present and gave
the people here the benefit of his
experience in claying sand roads.
Mr.. Ware, the government civil
engineer, who is supervising the
building of post road in Aiken
county, was also present and made
an instructive talk. His estimate
was that about $4,000 would be re-
quired to do the work contemplated
on the Plank road, and a commit
tee, consisting of w. M. Sawyer,
George T. Sweariugen, w. A.
Pardue and w. B. Penn, was, ap-
pointed to solicit cash contributions.
Supervisor A. A. Edmunds was
present and gave some facts and
figures concerning the county's
road working force. He has only
one gang of II convicts and it is
impossible for him to work all of
the roads Of the county at the time
work is needed. He has mapped
out his plans for the summer work.
The citizens interested in i'm
proving the road will raise 50, 500
and the county supervisor some
time in the fall will contribute the
equivalent of this amount in labor
by the chaingang.

Dear SIR

/ have your letter of
June 18th, lin which you ask my
ruling as to the proper way ia
which an applicant shall enroll his
name upon the Democratic Club
Roll. The rules of the party
adopted at the May Convention re-
quire the name to be written in full.
This means Benjamin Edward
Nicholson and not B. E. Nicholson.
The reason for this is that great
confusion existed in the last elec-
tion by reason of duplication of
names on the roll. This trouble
exists mere in cities than in places
like Edgefeld. There are quite
often persons having the sane name
and initials, but have not the same
full name. We, therefore, require
this in order that a man might be
thoroughly identified. I have al
ready ruled in several cases that the
full name must be enrolled, and l
hope you will enforce this rule in
your County, otherwise, it will
lead to confusion. With Dest
regards,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) John Gary Evans.

your prompt attention.

Beautiful Wedding. Edgefield
Gives Up Popular Young
Lady to Marlboro North
ern Wedding Journey.

A beautiful wedding occurred at
the home of the BRIDES mother,
Mrs. Ida F. Sheppard, Wednesday
afternoon at six o'clock, when Miss
Josephine Elizabeth Sheppard be-
came the lie of Mr.. Raymond
Douglas Rogers of Marlboro coun-
ty. As the guests arrived they
were refreshed by ice cold punch
which was served on the vine-clad
porch by Miss Rosela Parker and
Mrs. !. B. Kennerly.
On crossing the threshold one
was impressed with the beauty of
the home, which had been COM
pletely transformed for the occa.
sion. The floors of the halls and
parlors were covered with white
which made all the more effective
the evergreens that were gracefully
draped in great profusion about the
walls, doors, windows and lnantels.
The electroliers were covered with
white tissue paper and from each
globe pendants of white and green
hung gracefully. The color scheme
of green and white was made very
effective.
Promptly at the appointed hour,
Miss Margaret May, a niece of the
bride, sounded Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march on the piano and the
bridal procession emerged from the
rear hall in the following order.
First came the ribbon bearers, Shep-
pard Miller and Pebble Drake,
nephew and niece of the bride and
groom, respectively, these being
followed by DR.. M. D. J..ffries, the
officiating minister. Next came
Miss Floride Miller, niece of the
bride, Mis-, Edith Rogers, a sister
of the groom, the dame of honor,
Mrs. W. S. Cogburn and the maid
of honor, Miss Daisy Watson, these
forming a semi-circle about the min
liter in the parlor. The ring was
borne by little William Cogburn.
The groom entered upon the arm
of his best man, Mr.. q. A. Drake,
of Bennettsyille, and the bride, the
last to enter, was accompanied by
her mother. During the ceremony
Miss Margaret May played Schu-
bert's Serenade in soft, sweet tones.
After the conventional fluctuations
and congratulations, the guests pass
ed into the rear parlor and viewed
the large number of handsome to-
kens that were bestowed upon the
happy young couple by friends in
Edgefeld and from all parts of the
State.
The bride was beautifully clad
in rich messaline satin gown.
with train, the waist being of shad-
ow lace. The only ornament worn
by the bride was sunburst, a gift
Of the groom. She carried a show
er bouquet of bride roses, lilies
of the valley and fern. The brides
maids were prettily attired in dress
es of crepe de chine, all carrying
white roses except the maid Of
honor, whose bouquet was of pink
roses.
The refreshments consisted Of
green and white ice cream and cake.
The bride quietly withdrew from
the merry company and donned a
handsome travelling suit, and about
seven o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers,
amid shower of rice, left by au-
tomobile for Johnston, where they
boarded the Pullman for a wedding
journey in the North.

curing the rejection of the ap-
pointment of Editor Bloom of

City. Now comes Senator McCum-
Der himself. who. writing to Dew
lis Lake. relative to that Dostof-
flee appointment. says he took no
hand in the movement against the
confirmation of j. H. Bloom of
that city. The letter is considered
significant i'm view of the allega-
ton that Senator A. j. Gronna
was directly responsible for the
fight made on Bloom. II beg to
state that l concede the right of
the democratic party to name ev-
cry post master in the state where
the term of office of the republi-
can appointee has EXPIRED" Sen
ator McCumber writes. II have
stated to the postoffice depart
ment and others that I am not op-
posing the confirmation of Mr..
Bloom"
Now will the G-G do its friend,
Senator McCumber. the Justice to
correct its mis-statement Of his
position? McCumber is Republic
can and not small enough man
to mix in matters that are purely
Democratic. and says so.

anyone else ever did for you be-
