Orphan Work Day.

Our people have become familiar
with the meaning of the words Or
phan Work, Day. They mean sim
ply this, that there are in our or
phan institutions great number of
fatherless children, dependent upon
the loving care of the Christian
people in this State. AS the only
m cans of their support is from the
voluntary gifts of generous men,
women and youth, it may very we'll
happen and it does happen, that the
supplies for the support of these
thousands Of orphans, run short at
the end of the summer, and imme-
diate relief is needed. And hence
the inventive: mind of Jealous
Georgia Methodist preacher made
the suggestion that, on the last Sat;
urday of September, which is the
26th day of this month, our people
proceed diligently to work as usual
and that they divide the proceeds
of that days work OF their regular
income for that day, to the support
of such q one. of our orphan ,institu-
tions as appeals to them...
There are in South Carolina, the
Thornwell Orphanage al Clinton,
the Connie Maxwell Orphanage at
Greenwood, the Epworth Orphan
age at Columbia, each with about
800 pupils in charge, land every
one of them in need of prompt as
sistance); then there is the Church
Home at Yorkville with about 100
pupils in all more than thousand
children. The churches and Sab
bath Schools of the various denom-
nations should vie with each other
in seeing who will do the best for
their orphans. Gifts from indi-
viduals can be sent. at once or later;
the gifts from Churches and Sunday
Schools Immediately after the 9th
day of September when the collec-
tions will be taken up. Send to
the institution of your choice.

and put in excellent condition from
the standpoint Of appearance, con-

During the past week just ended
large number of patrons OF Bailey
have visited the buildings, selected
rooms for their sons and made final
arrangements for their attendance

My Dear Sir: If you have not
already done 80, I suggest that you
urge the buy bale movement
Every man who does not raise Cot
ton should buy at least one bale at
ten cents from some farmer who is
forced to sell. This will not only help
that. individual but will help all
others. This movement. is already
having a good effect in the north.
l shall buy at least one bale in
each of the counties of my district.
I know that you will do your
part in urging that every man who
can do 80 join the buy bale move
ment."
Very truly yours,
James F. Byrnes.

A Loss to Edgefield.

The many friends of Mrs. P. NJ.
Feltham regret exceedingly that she
has decided to leave Edge6eld to
reside permanently in Greenville.
We will miss her and the little boys
Jack and Curran, and hope that she
will visit Edgefeld often and pay
long visits. She had become such
part of the community life that
it is hard for Edgefeld to reliL-
quish her hold. Mrs. Feltham was
president of the local chapter U. d.
c., at the time of ber decision TO
remove to Greenville, and this Or
ganization regretted much to give
her up. Mrs. Feltham left last week
for Greenville.

Has Bought a Bale.

Congressman James F. Byrnes
bought bis Edgefeld bale of cotton
from l.. G. Quarles last Saturday at
ten cents per pound. Mr.. Byrnes
has been very much interested in
the Buy-a-bale movement, having
purchased bale in each one of the
counties in the second congressional
district. He has also urged all the
southern congressman to encourage
this movement in the interests of
the farmers in their respective dis.
tricts.
