Successful Rally Day.

The annual rally or work day for
the orphanage was observed by the
Methodist Sunday school Sunday
morning, and the success of the
occasion, as well as the results OBJ
tanned, was most gratifying to the
pastor and officers of the school.
The attendance was larger than last
year, and Notwithstanding the pre-
vailing financial stringency, the col
lection was larger than that realized
from the rally day of last year. The
sum of S35.77 was coll ected for the
Epworth orphanage. Mr.. Walker is
also greatly pleased that the sum
realized by the Trenton Sunday

year.

That which easily classes as the
leading social event Of the season
among the young people was the
birthday party given by Mr. Julian
D. Holstein, Jr., Monday evening,
the occasion marking the 23rd mile
of his earthly sojourn. Naturally
amiable and affable, the young host
received his guests very cordial
ly and until the hour of departure
arrived not dull moment was
spent. A spirited game of bridge
was engaged in and afforded much
real pleasure to those who gathered
about the five tables. The score

Travels in Germany
(Continued from page one)

on the wager" the German WORD
for train, and reached at 10 p. m.
Dresden, the Florence Of the nortn'
picturesquely situated ON the banks
of the Elbe. 1t is the most impor-
tant center of art in northern Ger
many and was included principally
in our itinerary in order that we
might see the famous painting
the Sistine Madonna by Raphael
considered to be the finest picture
in the world. 1t is characterized oy
the marvellous softness of colorlng
and by the wonderful sweetness ana
contemplation expressed in the face
of the Madonna who occupies the
center of the work with st. Sixtus
to the right and St. Barbara to the
left. The background is filled with
small angel faces in dim outline and
at the bottom of picture are two
lovely cherubs. The finest collection
of iewelry in the world is in the
Green Vault, called green because
it contains the only green diamond
az well as other handsome jewels,
canoes, clocks, carved ivory and
the crown Jewels. Out of a single
piece of ivory was carved the Fallen
Angels in 142 pieces. Dresden is one
of the mos, beautiful cities we visit
ed and a drive along the residence
streets with beautiful homes and
flowers and statuary will always be
a pleasant memory. At every street
corner were women selling lovely
flowers, fruits and vegetables and
the whole city looked like a huge
piece of Dresden china of dainty
and attractive design.
We all considered Germany a
beautiful country and the people In
dustrious, home-loving useful intel
ligent citizens. What a change has
come over the country since then,
converting a peaceful land into
scenes of blood and carnage with
thousands slain in war brought
about largely by the over reaching
ambitions of misguided rulers.

Thirteenth Anniversary.

Friday evening last marked the
close of the 18th year of the happy
married life of Capt. and Mrs. Ma
than George Evans and the occa-
sion was suitably celebrated at their
handsome home, number of friends
being invited to share the pleasures
of the evening. Soon after the ar
rival of the guests they were seated
about five tables, where an interest
ing game of auction bridge was
played. In addition to the usual en-.
thusiasm and pleasure incident to a
game of bridge which Is participa-
ted in by congenial company of
friends, the echoes from the
wedding balls which rang out thir
teen happy summers ago caused the
wedding spirit to pervade the at
mosphere, making this more thor
oughly enjoyable than the ordinary
function where cards play the lead
ing role. The thirteen-year-old
bride and groom" neither of
whom seem to have grown a day
older, received the hearty congratu-
lations and sincere good wishes that
Fortune may continue to smile
bountifully upon them.
At the close of the game OF
bridge the lady's prize was
awarded to Mrs. Julian u.
Holstein and the consolation prize
to Mrs. Susan &. Hill. The closing
feature, and by no means one that
was displeasing, was the serving OF
elaborate refreshments in several
Courses by the bride" in her &C.
customed queenly manner.

Grow Food Crops.

If cotton declines much more
and remains low, it will not require
an act of the legislature to decrease
the acreage next year. Every sensi-
ble man will realize that to continue
to grow cotton until normal status
is restored in Europe will mean
complete bankruptcy. The only sal
walton left to the farmers is to re-
sduce the cotton acreage and turn
their attention to producing every
thing possible on the farm that will
supply food for man and beast.

Years ago this Edgefeld citizen

take Doan's kidney pills and they
relieve me. You may continue to

LARCENY HEARING
/ IN JUSTICE COURT
Ruby Vaughn Charged With
Theft of Personal Note
From Chinaman.

Did Ruby Vaughn frauduie1ltly Sc.
cure possession of a $500 note given
by her to Fong Chu. a Chinaman, or did
he voluntarily give 1t to her because
of an understanding?
The above question is the one on
which hangs the innocence or guilt of
Ruby Vaughn, who was arrested upon
complaint of Fong Chu, charged with
the larceny of the note According to
the testimony of the Chinaman given
before Judge Adams this morning at
the preliminary examination Ruby
Vaughn telephoned him to come to
her room and She offered to pay him
500, all she had at the time, and told
him to give her the note and she would
pay him the balance the following day
He testified that he refused to do this
and later She told him to give her the
note and she would pay it, She took
the note, Fong declares, and left the
room, returning later and informing
him that she had given the note to
her attorney and could not return it.
| Frank Powell testified to going to
see Ruby Vaughn about the note to
| try and get 1t back and she informed
him that she had been bounded enough
by lawyers and policemen and proposed
to handle her own affairs.
! Captain Van Dorm testified to seeing
the defendant last Tuesday and that
she informed him she had the note and
would not give it back.
Rose Dyke, who rooms with Ruby
Vaughn at the Capitol hotel, testified
that she was in the room when the
Chinaman came and had talk about
the money, that she saw Ruby Vaughn
offer him all the money she had. which
he refused to take, stating he would
come back the next day and she could
pay him all she owed him. She testi-
| fled that she saw the Crnaman hand
the defendant the note and that he did
not ask her for it again. She admit
ted that Ruby Vaughn had said she had
the note and proposed to keep it but
that she would pay the Chinaman all
she owed him.
Green Handy, chief of the city detec-
| tive force. testified to being sent to
Ruby Vaughns room by Chief Reeves
with warrent for her arrest, but with
instructions not to arrest her IL she
would give up the note. He further
testified that she informed him she
could not give up the note as she had
| torn 1t up, but admitted she owed the
| Chinaman money and would pay him.
| No evidence whatever was put in by
| the defense and Judge Adams took the
case under Amusement until this even
| ing.
