ron A CONSTITUTIONAL coNvGN.
TON.

The Chicago Eagle calls on oil good
citizens to fight for new State Con.
Ss.tution. The Citizens Association
voices our sentiments when It says:
1T 10 universally admitted that the
present Coustituticc... OF illinois, adopt
ID s.ccrty.three years ago has Ions
been crtgrown; and that the slow and
dificult process required to amend u
has for many years seriously retarded
the progress OF the people Of the State
by depriviIg them Of the power to
properly meet new governmental
needs arising from the chaneed condi.
lions. The accumulated eSih arising
from this situation have how become
40 numerous and acute that adequate
relief can be obtained only by revising
the Constitution In such way that It
will cease to be q hindrance to good
government. Such necessary reforms
a. the abolition Of the system OF mi.
nority representation In the Legisla'
ture; revision Of the texation system;
consolidation OF local governing and
taxing bodies: and reduction In the
number OF elective officers can only be
secured without intolerable delay by
undermining the State Constitution.
Adequate powers Of home rule for
Chicago can also best be secured by
this Statewide method.
"For forty years proposed amend
ments have killed each other on. One
third OF the membership OF eitheI
house has Deen able effectually to
block any desired change In the Con
stitution. The irksome restrictions
imposed by the present Constitution
bear down upon Chicago with almost
crushing force. Because OF them Chi
cago is compelled to maintain, at
vast unnecessary expense, three sep
arate and distinct governmental
bodies covering practically the same
territory; viz: the City, County ant
Sanitary District. In our opinion thu
time Is ripe now for holding q Con
s,itutIonal Convention In Illinois d
the best means Of affordins adequate
relief TO the people Of the City AM
State. At the next session Of the LEG
islature we will do everything In on
power TO bring about the calling o
such a Convention, which this Assc
citation has favored for many ysars

Tribute to Miss Eva Crouch.

The whole community was sud
sa.erlllS ttsaSeSa in "a ca iets I
Sunday When The sid intslli ligeneel
came that Eva Crouch had died at
the home of her aunt whom she was
visiting. Eva was one of our bright
est girls possessed of an unusually
sweet disposition, her face always
radiant with a happy smile and a
cheerful word to both young and
old. She was popular with the
young on account of her lovable
ways and her pleasant company and
loved by the older ones who recog-
nized in her life those beautiful at
tributes which make woman lovable.
Not only did she add pleasure to
The company of the young people
hut in as great measure did she
adjust herself to the company of
even the old people. The death of
her mother several years ago and
that of her oldest sister about two
years ago threw the responsibilities
of the household duties upon her.
These she performed most admira.
bly, and in the home she is sadly
missed.
She was the leader in one of the
bands in Sunday school and here
the beauty OF her life shown out.
Realizing that she had friends she
used her popularity and her inhu-,
ence to draw the boys and girls in
to Sunday school and goodly por-
ton of the increase in attendance
in Sunday school was due to her un-
tirlng work. The last opportunity
she had was used to work for this
good cause. Her Christian life is
truly worthy of emulation.
Her remains were laid to rest in
Ebenezer cemetery, the funeral ser
vices being conducted by her pas
tor Rev. G. L. Knight assisted by
Rev. E. Q. Bailey, the young men
of her class acting as pail bearers.
The floral offerings were part of
the tribute of respect TO her popu-
larity, but the strongest evidence of
the esteem in which she was held
was the genuine expressions of pro-
found sadness seen among one of
the largest crowds that we have,
ever seen at a funeral at this place.

Gone to Portsmouth.

Mr.. J. G. Holland went to Ports
mouth, Va, Monday to assume The
management of the baseball team
of that place. Mrs. Holland accom-
panied him.
The State made the following
notice OF his passing through Co.
lumbia:
Joe Holland of Edgefeld, for.
raerly a Conner, passed through Co
lnmbia yesterday en- route for
Portsmouth, Va, to assume the
managerial .reins of that city's club
in the Virginia league.
Holland was star in baseball
and football at Clemson college and
since his college days has played
professional baseball. He was for a
season on the Pacific coast and last
year was the leading hitter and ont
fielder of the North Carolina league,
This season he was with Columbia
for about six weeks. Holland is
very popular here and the fans hope
that he will make a big success OF
the Portsmouth team.
The Portsmouth club is now in
the cellar. The citizen of Edgefeld
therefore finds q hard job on his
hands. He realizes THAT the team
must be strengthened, although he
has not seen it in action, and al
ready has made preliminary ar
rangements to better it. He has his
eye on several valuable men.
Holland goes to Portsmouth
with the backing of South Carolina
and fans in all parts of the state
will watch his teams progress with
interest. Joe Holland knows base
ball inside and out, and ne should
be able to raise the Portsmouth
team from its lowly position in the
cellar to more lofty plane

this school until they complete the
eleventh grade before entering col
lege.
With the addition of the eleventh
grade, the course of study offered
by our High School gives boy or
girl fairly good foundation and if
they never get to college they are
pretty we'll equipped to solve the
problems they are likely to en-
counter in life.
THE Music DEPARTMENT.
The music department has been
very ably conducted this year by
Miss Marcie Gwaltney. At FIRST
we were fearful as to whether this
department would paw or not tfor
there ara no public funds appropri-
ated for music.) But / am glad to
state that it did pay all expenses
and was able to turn over small
sum above expenses to the chairman
of the Board of Trustees. There
are few public schools that are so
fortunate as to have the services of
music teacher with the training,
natural ability and experience Of
Miss Gwaltney. We need more
students in this department and /
sincerely hope the people will real
ize this and that our class in music
will be sufficient to enable us to buy
another piano, and that the depart
ment will no, merely pay exnenses,
but grow to such an extent chat we
will need two teachers instead Of
one.
In conclusion l would like for
this fact to reach everybody in
Edgefeld county. The Graded
School IS free to the children of
Edgefeld school district alone, and
children from outside the district
will have to pay a small tuition
free. But the high school which
includes the work of the sth, 9th,
10th and llth grades is absolutely
fee to all the boys and girls of
Edgefeld county. And the town
of Edgefeld, the Board Of Trus-
tees, the Superintendent of the
school and all the teachers, will
sgladlygwelcome every boy. and girl
wEo wishes to avail themselves of
this privilege. Last session we had
good many pupils from outside
the district. This next session we
want more.
A complete list of teachers
for next session and an outline Of
the course of study will be publish
cd later.
Very respectfully,
T. j. Lyon,
Superintendent.

Death of MIR. w. p. Calhoun

Mr.. William P. Calhoun died at
his home here early Monday morn
ing. For some time he has been in
failing health but was not confined
to his bed until about two weeks
ago. 1t had been known throughout
the community for several days
that Mr.. Calhoun could not recov-
er, and his serious condition caused
the people generally to be greatly
depressed. MIR. Calhoun was in the
Goth year of his age. He was q
,nsmbersofg the Episcopal ehnEeh
here, from which the funeral was
conducted Monday afternoon at
$50 O'Clock by the rector, the Rev.
r. G. Shannonhouse, assisted by
Rev. E. G. Bailey and DR.. NJ. D.
Jeffries. The interment took place
in the village cemetery.
Mr.. Calhoun was born in Able
vile and was son of the late John
A. Calhoun, who was a nephew of
John G. Calhoun. After attending
the city schools of Abbeville, Mr..
Calhoun entered Columbia Univer-
sity, New York city, and after
graduating from that institution he
read law and practiced his profess
sion in Abbeville for a number of
years. Before locating permanently
in Edgefeld he also practiced law
in Atlanta, being president of the
South Carolina society while he
resided in that city.
AT intervals Mr.. Calhoun devoted
much time to newspaper work. For
a number of years ne was assoclat
ed with the late +. r. Hemphi!l in
the publication Of the Abbeville
Medium. At one time he edited the
Greenyille News, and after locating
in Edgeheld he began the publica-
ton of the Edgefeld News which
he sold on account of failing health.
Since that time he had, in addition
to the practice OF law, written spe-
cial articles for the daily papers and
had served the Augusta Chronicle
as regular correspondent at Edge
field. Mr.. Calhoun was a writer of
acknowledged ability. His style was
graceful and pleasing, and, being
an omniverous reader, his store of
information was large and varied.
Besides being we'll informed on
the current issues and topics of the
day, MIR. Calhoun was interested in
the larger and broader questions.
He wrote book on the race ques-
ton entitled THE Negro and the
Caucasian" which was widely read.
Since the day that Mr.. Calhoun
located in Edgefeld he lad been ac
lively interested in the progress Of
the town. AS secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce, which place he
filled at the time of the death, he
had devoted much time and effort
to the development of Edgefeld
along Ill lines.
On January l 1890, Mr.. Calhoun
was married to Miss Gladys Boykin
of Edgetield, who survives him and
whose devotion and unceasing at
tentiou to him throughout his ILL
ness has been exceedingly beautiful.
He also leaves three sisters, Mrs.
Kate O'Farrell of Athens, Ca,
Mrs. Carrie Herd of Elberton, Ga,
Mrs. Anna Ancrum of Camden, and
one brother, w. Norwood Calhoun
of Calhoun Falls.

Inc Laws Deiay.-f the first
judge before whom striking wait
resses were brought on charges of
.Gisorderly conduct and conspiracy
had given them speedy trial, all this
delay might have been avoided.
The girls were either guilty of the
charges or they were not. Human
as well as property rights were in
volved. Any one of the cases could
have been tried in day All of us
could have found out quickly wheth-
er the girls were within the law or
not
But several judges strung the case
along. Other arrests we're made. More
bond money was exacted. More ex-
pense piled up for the mattresses.
Witnesses were brought into court
only to be sent away by a continu-
ance or transfer to another Judge.
In the meantime the publicly-paid
police and the hired private" detec-
tives continued to forcibly picket for
Henrici's restaurant; and when the
mattresses continued to peacefully
picket they were repeatedly arrested.
And finally the lawyers got the
thing before other judges on applica-
ton for iniunctions In the meantime
picketing by mattresses was stopped
by a request of these judges. Which
was just what the hotel and restau-
rant trust wanted. 1t won their fight
for them. Every advantage was with
the employers.
So, however honorable the inten-
tons of any of the judges may have
been, the effect of their dilatory con-
duct was more effective in helping the
employers than was the brutality of
the police pickets of the restaurant.
Why didn't the first judge promptly
try the first case?
If the girls had been found, not
guilty of conspiracy or disorderly
conduct there would have been no ex-
cuse for further persecution by the
