Planning For Spelling Bee.

As shown by the papers from
different parts of the state, the
Spelling Bee is a popular form of
entertainment at this time. A large

Columbia last Friday night but it
was postponed week on account
of the unfavorable weather. One
is being planned for Edgefeld, the
date being probably Friday night,
December II. just as some of the
most prominent men and women of
Columbia will take parl in the one
to be held in Columbia, so
many of the most prominent men
and women in Edgeield will par
ticipate in the one to be he'd here.
An announcement in detail will be
given next week.

Presbyterian Bazaar.

The announcement that the la
dies of the Presbyterian church
will hold their annual bazaar on
December l6 will cause many per-
sons in Edgefeld to- look forward
to the occasion with pleasant an
ticipations. The social feature of
the bazaar is always enjoyed blythe
young people and the early Christ
mas shoppers always find many
things for sale that make suitable
gifts. Besides being useful, the
price of the articles are reasonable.

Meeting to Consider Erection of
Hospital.

Pursuant to the resolution re-
Gently adopted by the county medi'
cal association suggesting that steps
be taken to establish a hospital in
Edgefeld, the physicians, dertists
and members OF the chamber Of
commerce held a meeting in the
court house Monday evening to
formulate some definite plans. While
the attendance was not large, yet
the business and professional men
who assembled were deeply inter-
estsd. Every phase of the undertak-
ing was fully discussed, the discus
sion being opened by DR.. w. D.
QUITS who is an enthusiastic sup.
porter of the enterprise. Brief but
practical and pointed talks were
also made by DR. RIA. Marsh, DR.. A.
R. Nicholson, DR.. j.. G. Tompkins,
DR.. J. G.. Edwards and several
of the laity. All were of one accord
in stating in no uncertain terms
that Edgetield needed and should
have hospital. In addition to keep.
ing a considerable sum of money at
home that is now paid to city hos
pitals, the existence of hospital
would enable scores of people to
receive special treatment through
the hospital who are unable to pay
the enormous prices charged by the
city institutions.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted requesting the medical as
sociation to call meeting as early
as practicable and prepare plans to
be submitted to a joint meeting of
the chamber of commerce and the
members of the civic league. Every
one present realized the importance
of enlisting the cooperation of the
ladies of the town and county. AT
meeting to be called in short
time definite course will be map
ped out and then a statement more
in detail will be presented to the
public.
Other towns not any larger than
Edgefeld, have established q
hospital for the relief of human
suffering. Why can it not be done
here? We believe that if suticien,
number of people can be enlisted

Parksville's Harvest Festival
and Corn Show.

The first fruits of Parksville's
university extension spirit of which
we heard at the time of her Chau,
tauqua are to be a harvest festival
and corn show. Her committee has
re-organized into the Parksville fair
and welfare association and if there
is anything in name, we shall ex-
pect great things. The officers of
the association are w. NJ. Robert
son president, ]. M. Bussey vice
president, Miss Gazie Osborne Sec
retary and w. P. Parks treasurer.
On Thanksgiving day there is to
be barbecue dinner after the
Thanksgiving song service and from
the dinner the school children are to
march singing harvest songs and
with banners flying go to the school
house where the corn show is to be
held, and where there are to be
more songs and speeches and judg-
ing of exhibits of corn, butter.
canned and preserved good things
and fancy work.
1t is hoped that some one may
be present from Clemson college to
dc thejudging and give a talk on
corn judging and corn raising. Mr..
P. N. Lott, agricultural agent, is
expected also. In the evening the
young people are to give an enter
tainmens to their friends and elders.
A prize of five dollars is offered
for the best dozen ears of corn and
such a searching and scratching
through corn cribs you never did
hear of and the young and old corn
growers are surprised at how hard
it is for them to fud dozen ears
that they can feel sure will bring
down that SIS bill and all the honor
that goes with it.

News Letter From Edgefield
Graded and High School.

Friday afternoon at the Fail
Grounds a pitched-team from John
ston defeated Edge6eld High
School team by the lop-sided score
of $50. The game was Johnston''
from the beginning, and in the plucky
fight made by Edgefeld. against
overwhelming odds in weight AM
experience, to keep the score as low
as possible, that MADE the game in
teresting. The Edgefeld team
weighted on the average about l2C
pounds, Johnston, about l4o. Many
of our bows, not only had never
played football before, but had
never even seen a game, while the
Johnston team had played together
for two or three years. EdgeGeld
held them for downs but one time
and that on account of penalty
aud not once did our fellows gain
the required ten. However, on the
defensive, Jones, Hollingsworth and
Cheatham played a good game fol
Edeefeld. Lott, Wright, and
Broadwater, all old heads at the
game, STAYED for Johnston. John.
ston tried two forward passes, both
of which were incomplete. Edge.
field completed one pass, which,
however, netted only few yards.
There is no disgrace in being de-
feate.l, the disgrace lies in fear of
defeat, and while we are not par
ticularly elated over our maiden
effort on the girdiron, we feel no
humiliation at the result. IF all the
old athletes, living in town, will
give us their encouragement and
advice next year, we hope to put
out "a winning team.
The entertainment on last Friday
evening was one of the best of the
season. The stage was decorated
with ferns and chrysanthemums,
and the young ladies, in evening
costume, made a very attractive
scene. We did not realize as large
sum as we had hoped for, due to
a Masonic banquet on the same
night. However, the amount re-
.ceived was twenty-five dollars, 9
sufficient sum to cover all expenses
on our playground apparatus, and
the whole school extends the great
est thanks to those who made the
ente. tainment such success. We
hope to give series of such enter
tainments of the benefit of our
library.
On next Saturday the Teachers
Association of Edge6eld county
will meet in the court house at
eleven o'clock.

MAINTAINING ROADS.
MIR. Fowler Urges That Proper
Care be Taken of Improved
Roads. individuals Must
Help.

Supervisor Edmunds by a very great
effort has given us miles of thirty
foot road. 1t has been a JOY to be-
hold an unalloyed pleasure so far to
drive upon. While good weather
lasted there seemed no possible flaw
to our happiness but alas for human
hopes, the dav of reckoning has
come, the rains are here. These
rains are to be the touchstone of the
roads and the test Of our apprecia-
ton and value of them. If these
roads are worth anything to us we
are going to take care of them,
for as I reminded the readers of
The Advertiser the supervisor has
no plans and doubtless has no equip
ment for their care during the year.
There is no law of nature and no
dispensation of Providence that will
prevent a fine 30-foot road from get
ting as full of ruts as the poor old
scrubby l6-foot one of the past. The
ruts will come there just as quick
and twice as thick. But nature and
Providence have provided a reme-
dy-a voluntary one-in the man
beside the road.
Under present conditions if these
roads are to stav fine it must be by
the work and to the credit of the
man beside the road. If they go to
the bad the man beside the road
will be the sufferer and get the
blame. If these roads can be kept in
fair condition this year by volunta-
ry work an insistant demand can be
made upon the county next year
that some provision be made for
their maintenance. The county must
be shown.
Now it should not be difficult to
keep these fine roads in good con-
dition this winter. A King road
drag as has been several times illus:
trated in The Advertiser can be
made in an@hoar at acost of d DOR
lar or less and nothing better is
known for the work. Used after
each heavy rain they round up the
road and spread on it thin smooth
layer of mud that puddles and sheds
water. We practically give the roads
a brick covering.
A young man in North Carolina
a few years ago took in hand a mile
of road near his home. He dragged
it smooth with a King road drag
and kept so and at the end of that
time found that his total expense
had been $3.50. The county was
so pleased that they put that mile
of road in his charge and stood the
expense.
At this rate 1900 miles of road
in Edgefeld county could be cared
for at an expense of $1,000 year.
Up to the present big part of this
amount has been spent on bad roads.
If Edgefeld county had 1900
miles Of finely kept roads like this
she would have small reason to fear
divorce suits, on the parts of her out
lying territory ardent to flee to the
arms of lusty young towns bent on
setting up housekeeping for chem
selves.

Sunday School Institute.

DR.. T. J. Watts, Sunday school
secretary of the Baptist State Mis-.
sion Board of South Carolina. has
been conducting an institute at the
Baptist church for several days.
Sunday morning and evening he
presented the cause very effectively
which be represents. Monday and
Tuesday night he instructed the
teachers aad others interested IA
Sunday scnool work. DR.. Watts
stresses the importance of max ing
the educational value of the Sunday
school felt as a means of develop
ing Christian character just as the
public or secular schools develop
the minds. He also lays great stress
upon the evangeiizing influence Of
the Sunday school. None of this
can be accomplished to a satisfac-
tory degree without trained teach
ers. men and women who are capa-
bic Of developing those who sit be-
fore them in the Sunday school
classes every Sunday morning. DIR.
Watts is the acknowledged leader
in Sunday school work in the South
ern Baptist convention and his
coming to Edgefeld has given a
great stimulus to the Sunday school
in whose interest he came. All of
his services were we'll attenued,
many persons becoming interested
who have not hitherto actively
identified themselves with the Sun
day school.

Meal of Highest Grade.

In this issue of, The Advertiser
will be found the analysis in detail
made by Clemson College of cotton
seed meal made by the Beaver Dam
mill. For a number of years the
meal of Edge6eld's mill has stood
high as fertilizer and as cattle
feed. AS shown by the analysis,
the meal contains a very high per
cent. of ammonia and potash, two of
the most expensive elements of plant
food that farmers have to buy.
Look carefully over the figures made
by Clemson college, not by the mill
itself. and you will see that it pays
to buy Beaver Dam Mill meal. You
get more for your money than from
any other meal we know of.
the enterprise can be made sue

fits from it. Who knows what the
