Edgefield Receipt Book.

This is the title of a book that is
being printed IN The Advertiser S
job department for the ladies of the
Baptist church who will sell the
book when off the press for the
benefit of he church. 1t has been
compiled BIZ Mrs. w. Is. Cogburn,
Mrs. Fannie Tompkins and Mrs. NJ.
A. Taylor from recipes that have
been used by Edgefeld ladies. Each
recipe is signed by its author. This
book will be of great value to every
housewife, as it is no doubt the
best collection of recipes ever com
piled. We say this because Edge

The Death of an Aged Lady
Miss Betsy White.

On Sunday evening May II, the
angel Of heaven came down and
took Aunt Betsy from the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Pick White, where
she has been living for many years
and called her bone. Miss White
was well known by a host Of friends
and relatives, as Aunt Betsy" :"
Death followed the effects of meas
les. which she had about three
weeks ago, though her health has
been gradually declining for a long
time. She leaves one sister, Miss
Patsy White. who has been helpless
and blind for many years.
Aunt Betsy was los years old,
and how hard it is for rs to give
her up after these many years. But
she saw the angels beckoning her to
come to the heavenly home ap son-
der where there's no sickness, no
sorrow nor death, but all is perfect
peace and happiness.
With loving hands and aching
hearts, they laid her form to rest
at Bethany cemetery. Her sanity
spirit we loved so we'll has now
gone TO rest. Amid our tears and
sorrow our hearts are eased of pain
when we think what an inspiration,
her life has always been. On earth
we'll see her face no more, but the
beckoning hands from the other
shore, say. we can meet her there.

Killing at Shaw's Creek Church

Sunday afternoon about one
o'clock row occurred at Shaw's
Creek church in which knives, pis.
tolls, razors, sticks and other weep
ons'' too numerous to mention were
used. After sulphurous fumes,
dust and smoke Of battle had clear
ed away it was discovered that one
negro, Jesse Curry, had been NOR
tally stabbed over the heart with a
pocket knife by Milo Simmons, an
other negro. Sheriff Swearingen
went down Monday morning and
had an inquest held in accordance
with the law. Up to this time Milo
Simmons has not been found but it
is believed that he will soon be
lodged in jail. The negro whom
he killed is said to have fired upon
him three times before being Stabb'
ed. This statement is borne out by
the three empty chambers in his pis-
tol. Shaw's Greek church has been
noted for years for its disorder and
rowdy crowds. The representative
colored people who compose this
church owe it to their church and
their race to see that such lawlesS-
ness is stopped.

MURDER CHARGE
Mystery of Old Crime May
Be Cleared as Result Of
Story Told by Alabama
Girl.

Andalusia, Ala, Aug. IA murder
case which stirred this entire section
Of Alabama II years ago and which
ever since has remained an impene-
trable mystery is to be threshed out at
the term of the Covington county court
which convened here today
Seventeen years ago Wade Childre, a
leader of the law and order league of
southeast Alabama. was rtddled with
bullets as he sat by the fireside read
ing the Bible to his family before they
retired for the night. The night was a
dark one, with rain falling heavily and
all footprints were obliterated. 1t was
supposed at the time that the assassin
alton was due to enmity which the vic
tim may have caused by his activity as
leader of the law and order league.
But there was not the slightest clue to
the perpetrators Of the crime and in
the course of time the investigation
was dropped.
Years rolled by and the Childre as
sassination had become only a mem
ory in the minds of the Oldest in
habitants Of the neighborhood, not to
be brought to public notice again un-

fessed to the crime, claiming that he
had shot to protect her own life and
that of her mother from the fury OF
her fathers ungovernable temper.
1t was while relating the tribulations
Of herself and her mother that the
young girl solved the mystery of the
still unborn. According to her story
her mother had confided to her in
childhood that the huFband and father,
in one Of his fits Of temper, had formed
gang and assassinated Childre, to
satisfy an old grudge
The information furnished by the girl
not only implicated her dead father.
but caused the secret Indictment and
later the arrest of her uncle, Noah
Wages; her consins. Barney and George
Whitehead, and John Mcpherson, the
latter a wealthy Oklahoma cattleman,
who had left the neighborhood a few
months after the assassination.
