Concerning National ? Aut'
Highways.

Editor The Advertisers The Au-
gusta Chronicle recently published
a map showing some main auto
routes from the north and west to
points southwark of US and Florida
as their ultimate goal. 1t was in
teresting to see that one of these
main routes came as near to US as
Anderson. It was sad to see that
this route did not extend as if by
nature it should have done through
Edgefeld county to Augusta and on
to Charleston, Savannah, etc.
A few miles of good roads in our
county would put us on one of the
great highways of auto travel. Hun
dreds and perhaps thousands of au-
tos would use this highway. Every
auto representing possible investors
and winter residents. Edgeheld
county is as beautiful and has as
fine climate as any place under
heaven and some or these passers
by would find it out.
I am told that what auto travel
does approach us from the north
pumps the Savannah river at Nc
Cormick and like the priest and
Pharisee passes us by on the other
side and goes on to Augusta. A few
miles of road moderately we'll kept
up to start with would divert this
stream and encourage US to still
better roads. Is is we'll to keep in
mind that this great stream is just
beginning to flow and is seeking a
path. A few years from now it will
be mighty river. Shall it come
through our county or 60 down on
the other side of the Savannah?
Ask our supervisor.

Beautiful Shower in Honor OF
Miss Peak.

The above headline might leat
one to believe that Edgefeld hat
been visited by a nature shower o.
rain drops, but that is not the case
This shower was one of good wishes
and gifts to one of Edgefeld's mos
highly esteemed young ladies, Miss
Hortense Peak.
On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Ma
mie N. Tillman entertained the
Young Woman's Auxiliary in honor
of Miss Peak at linen shower
A very congenial and happy com
pany of young ladies were present
and music and good cheer enlivened
the scene.
The first formal number on the
programme was beautiful and ap'
propIiate vocal solo by Mrs. j. T.
Tompkins, with piano accompani'
ment by Mrs. Tillman.
A toast in the form of an acrostic
on the words Young Woman's Aux
iliary, which were written by Mrs
Pendleton Jones, were presented to
Miss Peak by Mrs. ]. L. Minis
Just at this point in the pro-
gramme there appeared most won.
derful sage from cupid's land of ro-
nance, who came for the express
purpose of making known to the
young people the real meaning of
love-" Mrs. P. M. Feltham had
been chosen to bring this message,
and when she had read many beau
tiful quotations, the contest began,
when the guests took their pencil
and paper, and began to write their
own definition of love. Mrs. w.
D. Allen won the prize, beautiful
box of that saccharine substance
that all girls like, and this she most
graciously presented to the bride-to'
be.
When this had closed, three little
fairies, all tinted with green from
the real land of showers, came in
bringing big Y and w and A as
large as they were, and on them
were hanging in beautiful design
the loveliest hand embroidered linen
doilies, many of them presented by
each member of the Y. w. A. The
little girls were, Emily Tompkins,
Mary Lawton and Corrie Johnson.
The occasion was delightful
one, and was an expression of the
high esteem in which Miss Hortense
is held among the many friends in
Edgefeld, and by the members of
the Young Woman's Auxiliary.

The daily bread for all these chill

people. They have nothing except
what is given them.
> These children are being trained
to make useful, healthy, intelligent
citizens, and many boys and girls
reared in these orphanages are sue
ceeding in life. All these institu,
tions are crowed and their needs
are pressing.
By appointment, SATURDAY., Sept.
85, has been designated as Labor
Day" and all who are interested in
orphan children are asked to give
to one of these orphanages what
they earn on Saturday, Sept. 25.
Let all who will earn some money
that day the busy man at his desk
the merchant and the farmer, house
wives and school children, all wage
earners-everybody; let all make
gift, large or small, that day to one
of the orphanages named below
This has been hard year for al
these institutions and gift, some
large, some small, from everybody
| is sorely needed just now.
