Fired in Discharge of Duty.

Monday afternoon Mr.. G. 7.
Broadwater, one of the changing
guards, shot and killed Lockhart
Moore, one of the convicts, the
cbaingang being at work on the
road leading from Edge6eld by An
tioch church. The negro escaped
from the gang and disappeared in
the woods near by. Just at the time
Mr.. Broadwater could not leave the
other convicts, but as soon as be
could pursue the negro he went into
the woods. When the negro was
discovered IN the bushes he made
another break for his liberty and
Mr.. Broad water fired upon him, the
wound resulting in his death. Lock
hart had served about three months
of a four-year term for stealing seed
cotton.
An inquest was held by Coroner
T. E. Byrd and the verdict OF the
jury was to the effect that death re-
suited from wound inflicted by
Mr.. Broadwater in the discharge of
his official duty. Public sentiment
approves of Mr.. Broadwater's act.
Were guards to fail to use their
weapon when convicts escape. the
long-term convicts would frequently
make a break for liberty, feeling that
their life was not in jeopardy. II is
the fear that the gull will be used
that makes them easily managed.

u. d. c. Meeting.

The U. D. G. meeting for May
was held with Miss Annie DeLoach
Wednesday, the 18th. In the ab-
sence Of the president and the vice
president, Miss Mary Lake, histori-
an, presided. After the Lords prayer,
several business matters were dis
cussed, chief of which was the pro-
posal to purchase two cannon from
the Beaufort arsenal and place them
on either side of the Confederate
monument. These cannon are relics
of the war between the States, one
being taken from the Federals at
the battle of Holly Hill and the 9th
er purchased from England by the
Confederate government. A commit
tee composed of Mrs. Lovic Smith,
Mrs. Lovic Minis and Mrs. Percy
Feltham were authorized to make
every effort to accomplish this pur-
chase at once. After the business
session, the following historical pro-
gram was rendered.: Question,
Wrongs of history righted" an
swered by class. Mrs. r. A. Marsh
read very fine paper, The real in
ventor of the cotton gin," by Mrs.
Alvin Etheredge of the Lucinda
Horne chapter, Saluda. The con-
cluding item was a beautifully
executed reading, THE Picket
Guard" by Miss Ruth Tompkins.
Two new members, Mrs. Pendleton
Jones and Mrs. Luke May, were
welcomed into the chapter. Miss
DeLoach, assisted by her sisters,
served strawberry cream with cake.

Rummage Sale a Success.

to the Farmers Bank, were reward

in selling most of the articles that
were donated and at the close Of the
day their sales amounted to about

TO be deducted. 1t is probable that
the young ladies will conduct an

our chapter will grow.
Make out and send in all of the

School Suffers Loss.

The graded and high schools OF
Edgeield sustain a heavy loss
through the failure Of three teachers
TO return next year. Occasionally
the trustees, patrons and pupils ex-
perience certain degree OF relief
when a teacher announces that he
or she can not serve longer. But
such was not the case with Prof.
Ross, Miss Gwaltney and Miss Tur-
ner. All three of these teachers have
filled their respective places In a
most acceptable manner and there
is general regret that they declined
reelection.

MIR. M, II. Deal.

The Advertiser has no hesitancy
in saying that one of the best citi-
zens in the county, az well as one of
the most successful farmers,is Mack
Deal, who announces his candidacy
this week for the position of cotton
weigher for the town of Edgetield
He possesses the qualifications nee
essary to fill this position satisfac-
torily and if the people who market
cotton at Edgefeld select him fol
the place, Mr.. Deal will not disap,
point them.

Out For Cotton Weigher.

Although MIR. j. G. Byrd, the
man who has weighed cotton w.tl.
even and exact justice for the past
several years, will not be a candl-
date this year, the Pleasant Lane
G;lgal section has an aspirant for
the place who will in every sense
fill the bill, both to the satisfaction
of the seller and buyer. We refer
to Carr Williams, whose formal an
nouncement appears IN this issue.
If elected he will render faithful
service.

High School girls and boys have
been wishing with untiring energy
to secure funds, with which to en-
gage another teacher for the ensu-
ing wear. This is a most praise
worthy undertaking and should
meet the approval of all lovers OF
education. This would necessarily
advance the curriculum of the
school one year and when we con
slider what this means to our chill
dren and to our pocket books should
we not unhesitalingly rally to the
support of another teacher. In con-
ducting booth on Friday last for
this purpose the girls realized s22.sO

Prof. Scott is pre-eminently the
right man in the right place. He
attends his duties with unswerving

his allegiance to the highest prin-
ciples of truth and honor. We
should encourage him, we should
