Elaborate Reception at Oak
land"

Never before has historical Oak
land' been more beautiful than on
Monday evening when Misses jamie
and Belle Minick gave a beautiful
reception for their house guests,
Misses Cleora, Estel!e and Floy
l lvole of Aiken, Messrs. LOWE Col
den, of Abbeville, S. c., John Pow
ers Holland, Broadus Foy, Luther
and Lambert Pratt of Greenwood.
"Oakland,' was indeed an ideal
fairyland as the myriads of japanese
lanterns shed their soft glow over
the oevy of beautiful young ladies
and handsome gentlemen strolling
here and yonder on the beautiful
lawn. On arriving the guests were
ushered into the front parlor by
Miss Belle Minick and were pre-
sented to the guests of honor by
Miss jamie Minick. Misses Mary
Strother and Fanny Hill of Augusta
served delicious punch in lovely
little booth of flowers and smilax
on the veranda. Seven tables were
arranged for an exciting contest Of
history. Seven contestants cut for
the souvenir, a box of bons-bonS.
Miss Ida Zimmerman cutting the
lucky number. Mr.. Wad Allen in
a very humorous way presented the
prize. The white and gold score
cards bearing the name Oakland"
were lovely sovenirs for each guest.
Miss Fannie Sewell Of Augusta
added to the pleasant evening with
her beautiful musical selections.
A delightful salad course was serv-
ed late in the evening by Mrs. Wal
ter Nicholson and Miss Mary
Hughes. The guests numbered
about six:y-fve, many of whom
came from Greenwood and Edge
ield in automobiles.

Death of Splendid Young Man.

The home of that good man and
and sterling citizen, Mr.. D. E. Lam
ham, is again bereaved. The peo-
pie of Edgef.ld were shocked Mon
day when they LEANED that Fred
Lanham, the youngest son, Of Mr..
D. E. Lanham, died early Monday
morning. He had been i'll but
a few hours, acute indigestion be-
ing the immediate cause of his
death.
Fred was deservedly very popu-
lar and was widely beloved. Full
of energy and ambition and being
young man of exemplary habits, it
seems strange from a finite stand
point that he should have been sud-
denly cut down on the threshold of
young manhood. He was just nine
teen years of age and completed
the course in agriculture at Clemson
last year. We are told that Death
loves shining mark. +" The Great
Giver of every good and perfect
gift had some plan for this young
life which the human understanding
and vision Can not discern.
Fred was member of Republi-
can church. where the funeral was
held Monday afternoon, his pastor,
Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, officiating.
The Advertiser extends sincere SYM
pathy to the bereaved father, sisters
and brothers.

Ridge Woman's Missionary
Union.

So in love with associational
meetings had the writer become
that on our return from Bethany
on Thursday, the proximity of the
similar meeting of Ridge associa-
tion on Friday at Johnston was too
much to resist, consequently it was
our pleasure to spend very profit
able and entertaining day at the
Johnston Baptist church. Mrs. j.
C. Latimer presided at this meeting,
Mrs p G Stevens assisting. a large
number of delegates were in attend
ance, and interesting sessions were
held. We had the pleasure of see
inc Mrs. Chapman again, and hear
inc her talk, and to listen to the
IDEAS of these neighbors of ours on
the same subjects that had been
previously discussed the day before
at Bethany. One of the most help
ful papers was that of Mrs. Latimer
as chairman of committee on Per
sonal Service. A delightful dinner
was served on the grounds, and
there was plenty and to spare. Mrs.
Emmie Gaines Padgett made a very
fine talk on the e. F. G. at the re-
quest of the presiding officer. and
Miss Cleo Attaway, state organizer
of the w. G. T. L. was also called
to the platform. Their 1915 meet
ing will take place Thursday and

ANOTHER SIDE TO
 COPPER QUESTION

While the weight of the European war will bear heavily upon the pro ducers of copper metal. there is an. other side to the copper situation which Is worth considering.
 With Germany. the center of electric supplies manufacturing in Europe, out of the running, an opportunity for worlds trade lies open to Americans. Germany's enormous export business to South America, South Africa, China, Australia, in fact, all the outside clvi. nzed countries, has stopped and the United States is the only country in the world with facilities and capital to take 1t over
 Germany's two greatest electric manufacturing companies are the All gemeine Gesellschaft and the Siemens & Halske Co, which together have a capitalization of nearly S52,0OO,O ,OOO, and last year did business of about
 S17O,5OO,OOO, as compared with a combined capitalization of S156,OO0, ,OOO and sales of $22I7OO.OOO for the three large American companies.
 Other copper consuming industries abroad are In the same plight as the big German electric companies, so it is apparent that there are rich prizes in the worlds markets to be won by American manufacturers provided they have energy enough to go after the new business, and capital to fin. ance it.-Boston News Bureau.
