VISIT TO WHITE
TOWN COMMUNITY.
The Advertisers Representative Reports Visit
to Prosperous and Progressive White
Town. Splendid School, Lands
Increase in Value.

what they have achieved. If we
mistake not, it was Miss Talbert
who suggested purchasing the hand
some new piano and who also labor
ed INCREASINGLY for funds for making
the first payments. Many of Miss
Talbert's friends regretted that she
was prevented from being present
at the campaign meeting Saturday
by the extreme illness of her moth
er.
Notwithstan ling the fact that
Miss Carrie Talbert could not &C
cept the school for the next session,
it will still be in good hands. Miss
Essie BuSsey who has been the as
sistant teacher has been elected
principal and Miss Mary Buoy OF .
Anderson has been chosen as assist
ant. Miss Bussey has rendered good
service in the past and will receive
the loyal support of the trustees and
patrons.
White Town has a school I'M
provement association that has done
good work for the school. Mrs. Dan
White is president of the associa-
ton and Miss Coreen Wall Is the
secretary and treasurer. Through
this organization the piano, book
case, pictures, books and a globe
were purchased for the school. After
making other interior improvements
the association will undertake to
raise money with which to paint the
building. The ladies of the commu-
nifty gave the dinner at the cam
paign meeting Saturday in order to
raise funds for the Improvement OF
their school. They 4@reslized about
s75 from the splendid feast that
was served. The only mistake the
ladies made was in charging 40
cents for dinner when it should
have been not less that so cents.
Another matter that must not be
overlooked in this running account
IF what the good people Of that
section are achieving, and that is
ne very marked increase in land
ralues during the past 10 years.
Some 10 or u years ago Mr.. w.
[. Ridlehoover, one,of the very best
citizens in the county, bought 4
tract of land near the White Town
school house for about S. per acre
and recently sold it to a gentleman
from one of the Piedmont counties
for s45 per acre. MIR. B. D. Kitch-
ing was offered $40 per acre for his
farm some time ago. This enormous
increase in real estate values is at
tributable largely to the splendid
school that has been built up in the
community. Constantly men are
coming from other sections into the
community making inquiry about
lands, whether any can be bought
and at what price.
The candidates, the editor Of The
Advertiser and all of the other visit
ors thoroughly enjoyed the cam
paign meeting at White Town,
pronouncing it the best OF the Sc
ries Of meetings that. have been
held in the county since the cam
paign opened. We have number
Of invitations to visit White Town
again and SO charmed We're we with
oar first visit that it will require no
urging 20 induce us to avail our
selves OF the pleasure the first OPP
portunliy that IS presented.

These crops DO more ,han merely

etable matter in the soil, maxim" ii
possible to store away larger

Mr.. Barton stated that broadly
speaking there are but two classes of
plants: Those that rob the soil or
reduce its fertility and those that
enrich ,h.. soil. He urged the far
mers present to plant as many acres
during the gear of plants that en-
rich the soil rs they do Of crops
that reduce the fertility, and III
that WY they will maintain the
fertility Of the land. Mr.. Barton
advocates the teaching of aericul.
ture in the public schools. He says
if the boys who are soon TO begin
farming on their own account were
taught nothing more concerning
agriculture than the nature of these
two classes of plants, soil robbers
and soil builders, in a few years
wonderful change in the produc
tiveness Of the southern land would
take place.

For long while the editor o.
The Advertiser has had an earnes
desire TO visit the White Town sec
ton, but not until Saturday last
have we had an opportunity to
crafty the long-Standing desire
We have number of staunch
friends in and around White Towr
which made us very anxious tc
meet with the people in their own
community. So cordially were we
received and SO warmly were We
greeted that we felt rs if we hai
set foot upon White Towns soil a
score Of times. There are no better
people to be found anywhere than
those who reside in the White
Town community. To say that
their fathers and srandfathers be-
fore them were good old Edgeheld
stock is sufficient guarantee that
the present generation are sturdy,
honorable, upright, ambitious, and
make the best Of citizens.
Some years ago, not satisfied with
educational conditions in the COM
munit!, the leading citizens, at the
suggestion of Mr.. O. D. White,
who would be a valuable acquisition
20 any community in the state,
formed new school district, call
ing it White Town district. AMI there
is no getting around the fact that
it is properly named. About every
three out Of four houses you pass
on any road in that section is the
nome of a Mr.. White, and about
that proportion OF the men you
meet in crowd bear that name.
However, thereare sterling-citizens,
scores of them, who bear other
names, but the Whites are greatly
in the majority.
Itis conceded by those who have
visited the White Town communi-
" regularly that there Is no other
section of the county that has ad-
vanced more rapidly along all lines
than this section. The farmers are
progressive and have adopted many
new methods and are constantly pur-
chasing modern, llbor-saving imple-
ments. The soils have been improved
and rendered more productive. And
as natural result there has been
financial prosperity. The homes
nave been improved and the farms
and premises bear evidences of
prosperity.
There is nothing else, notwith-
standing all of the progress that
mas been made, which reflects the
forward march Of the White Town
community more effectively than
the growth of their school and the
very loyal manner in which 1t is
supported. When the school dis
,rict vas first established there were
for several years only y or Is pu-
nils enrolled, while now the enroll
menl ranges around IS. No COM

Household Problems.

Miss Caroline Bostick, gradu.
ate of Winthrop college, spoke Of
conditions and problems in the
home with which our good women
have to grapple. She is very in
telligent young woman and during
the brief period allotted her, made
many helpful suggestions which
the housewives of Edgefeld, and
young women too, could have
heard with profit. Miss Bostick
began by saying that the day is not
far distant when most Of the wo-
men will have to do their own
work, and that they should, with
the aid of e husbands and broth
ers, begin TO prepare for it. She
first urged the Improvement of the
household equipment, stating that
1t Is just as necessary that the wo-
man in the home be provided with
labor saving devices and machines
with which to perform her duties as
it is necessary for the men on the
farm to adopt labor-saving ma
chlnery such as cu!tivators, mowers,
binders, etc. Miss Bostick stressed
the importance of having some sort
of water system in every home,
however cru,le the system may be.
She exhibited a drawing showing
how barrel can be elevated near
the well and filled with an ordina.
ry hand pump, the water being con-
yeyed 10 the kitchen and washing
machine by means of pipes. A gaso-
line engine is preferable to the
hand pump. An improvised water
system of,this kind would not be
expensive and would greatly facili-
tate the woman's work in the home.
Miss Bostick stated that there is no
good rnason why homes in the coun.
Try can not now have practically as
many convenlences as the homes in
the town. She also. urged that
everything ahont the home be con-
Quoted Systematically, time being
set apart for each duty. She also
urged women to take short period
for rest in the morning and also af-
ter dinner, which will keep them
from becoming prematurely old.
These short periods devoted to alb
solute rest and relaxation are " orth
more than a vacation OF a week il
summer.
Miss Bostick urged the use of the
tireless-cooker for the kitchen as
a supplement to the range. She
also advised the use of oil stoves
instead of spending. so much time
over the hot range during warm
weather. Miss BoStick closed by
impressine the importance of moth
ers spending more time with their
children, stating as her conviction
that the quality of our citizenship
