away. | can remember the names
of more dead ones who were at
Hamburg, than l can of those, who
are still living, and l believe, if our
people could but realize how much
the slightest mark of appreciation
on their part would add to the heart

this side of the river, they would
not hesitate an instant to contribute
to that end. e-~ aa,a.'
The Legislature, at che instance
of the late Col. }. p. DeLaughter,
appropriated the sum of four hum
dred dollars for the purpose of rails
ing monument to the memory Of
the gallant McKie Meriwether who
was killed at Hamburg. and of
whom it might be said was the first
sacrifice of the Red Shirt Cause.
A commission consisting of w. II.
Hammond, George Adams, John A.
Butler, j. 3. McKie, and G. w.
Medlock was appointed to have the
work done. In order to have this
monument placed in as conspicuous
a place as possible there by adding
largely to its historic value we re-
solved to make an effort to at least
duplicate the States donation and
place it where it will be seen by
most people especially those from
Edgefeld and Aiken counties.
The town of North Augusta has
generously agreed to donate a COM
,manding site and care for it when.
finished.
And all we have to do is to raise
the money. That ought to be an easy
task. All we ask now is for every
citizen of the two counties to send
us at once, contribution however
large or small, so that we can have
the work done as soon as possible.

THE ICHAUTAUQUA.
Complete Success, Large At.
tendance, Splendid Attrac-
tons. Good Addresses
by Prominent Men.

The people of Edgefeld and vi
cinity are greatly indebted to the
committee of citizens who made
possible the holding of the chau-
tauqua in Edgefeld by becoming
responsible in adqance for the pay
mentsof more than $500 to the Rad
cliffe Lyceum Bureau. The attrac-
tions that were selected were whole
some and helpful. In addition to
the chautauqua program proper, the
committee invited a prominent gen.
tleman each day to address the
lsrgefassemblage.
Monday afternoon Hon. John l..
McLaurin, State warehouse CON-
missioner made the opening ad-
dress. He explained at some length
the merits of the state warehouse
system, calling attention to the low
rate OF interest obtained by borrow
ing from northern banks upon ware
house receipts. He next spoke. of the
great decrease in insurance rates
that have resulted from the adoption
of the system. Mr.. McLaurin be-
lieves that the greatest good will
come through the adoption of the
system by all of the cotton grow
ing states, making it possible by
this means to hold sufficiently
large quantity to fix minimum
price and demand it.
The chautauq1a program Mon
Gay afternoon and evening consist
ed of the clever work of Mr.. Mer-
ton, the magician, and two address
es by DR.. Sears, the celebrated hu-
morist. in the afternoon his subject
was The evils of worry ing" and
at night he spoke on The crisis OF
life.''
Tuesday afternoon after a con-
cert, both vocal and instrumental,
hy tAse-Strellcrs Quartette, and also
some mum bers in impersonation by
member of the quartette, Hon.
James f. Byrnes, congressman from
this district (our jimmie Byrnes)
delivered an instructive address, Sc
lecting as his theme the National
Government. He spoke at some
length of the achievements of the
Democratic administration, and
among other things commended
President Wilson very highly for
his resolute determination to main,
tain peaceful relations with the ma
tions of the earth. He stated why
no aid was given the cotton grow
ers last fall by the national govern
ment. Even if the southern con-
gresham had introduced a bill pro-
viding relief it would have been de-
feated by the representatives from
northern and western states. There
are only 80 southern congressman
out of total of 433.
Mr. Byrnes commended President
Wilson's policy in dealing with
Mexico. While the appropriations
for the army and navy are larger
than ever b fore, he is opposed TO
building up strong army and navy
except for defense against an at
tack from another nation.
l. Mr.. Byrnes address was practical,
instructive and was well received.
Congressman Lever will speak
after the chautauqua program this
afternoon.

Death OF Miss EIoise Carwile.

Johnston, April 30.-Miss Eloise
Carwile, the eldest daughter and
only surviving child of the late
Maj. John Carwile, died here at 2
o'clock this morning at the home of
DR.. S. G. Mobley. She is survived
by four aunts, Mesdames S. G. Mob
ley, W. S. Mobley, Lucia G. Lati-
mer and Miss Sara Carwile, all of
Johnston. Also two uncles, 2. w.
Carwile of Augusta, Ca. and G. F.
Carwile Of Ogden, Utah, and Mrs.
Mary Smith of Jacksonville, Fla.
Miss Carwile was young woman
of strong character and enjoyed a
wide popularity for her many love
ly traits. From girlhood she was a
consistent Baptist and at the time of
her death was member of the First
Baptist church of Augusta, Ga.
The interment took place this af-
ternoon at $50 o'clock at the Mount
of Olives cemetery, the services be-
ing conducted by DR.. A. I. King
of the Johnston Baptist church.
The announcement of the death of
Miss Carwile caused much genuine
sorrow in Edgefeld. For a num-
Der of years she resided with her
aunt, Mrs. Mary E. Carwile, and
made many friends in this commu-
nifty. She was an active member of
the Baptist church and was loyal
member of the Edgefeld chap,er U.
D. G. More than a dozen members
of the chapter attended the funeral
at Johnston in body, thus paying
a last tribute to their deceased men,

MAKE FIGHT ON ILLITERACY
Settlement Worker Tells of Her Ek.
perience in New York's East Side
Law Disregarded.

A friend has recently given to me
the letters which l wrote regularly to
her family during the first two years
of my life in New York's East side, Lii
liam d. Valid writes in Atlantic. | had
almost forgotten, until these letters
recalled it to me, how often Miss
Brewster and mourned over the boys
and girls who were not in school, and
over those who had already gone to
work without any education.
Almost everyone has had knowledge
at some time of the chagrin felt by
people who cannot read or write One
intelligent woman of my acquaintance,
born in New York state, ingeniously
succeeded for many years in keeping
the fact of her illiteracy secret from
the people with whom she lived on
terms Of intimacy, buying the newspa-
per daily and making a pretense of
reading it.
We had naively assumed that ele-
mentary education was given to all,
and were appalled, to find entire FAM
lilies unable to read or write, even
though some of the children had been
born in America. The letters remind
me, too, of the efforts we made to get
the children we encountered into
school-day school or night school,
public or private-and how many diff
ferent people reacted to our appeals.
The department of health, to facilitate
our efforts, supplied us with virus
points and authority to vaccinate,
since no unvaccinated child could be
admitted to school
Since those days New York city
has established a school census and
has almost perfected policy whereby
all children are brought into school;
but throughout the state there are
communities where the compulsory
education law is disregarded. The fed
eral census of 1910 shows in this EN-
pire state, in the counties Franklin
and Clinton) inhabited by the native
born, illiteracy far in excess of that
in the counties where the foreign born
congregate.

Young man, have you a purpose IN
life? What do you intend to be or TO
do? The question strikes you with
something Of novelty, Yet it Is the
great one on which your future place
in the world depends. II no life-pur-
pose is yet formed in your mind, it is
fail time that you sat down and spent
season in grave reflection. Without an
ernest purpose nothing worth accom-
olshing can be done in this world
Thought. will, energy, work-these are
the elements of all success, These are
the materials out OF which men con-
strucJ their fortunes; and II you are
dreaming of wealth, honor or position
in the future, and have not these to
build on, and with advancing years, you
will see the beautiful structure that
now rises pleasantly in your fancy,
fading away like the baseless Fabric
of vision. Grid up your loins, and in
good earnest, seek to acquire the high
est ability in your art, calling or pro-
fession. Let each day see YOU advanc-
ing in skill and knowledge; and as
certain as the sun shines, or the water
runs, you will rise above the common
mass. And just in the degree that
your motives are honorable and unset
fish, will you add happiness to success

| $50 marriage licenses issued and 341S
divorces granted. Besides these there
were 10 marriages annulled and 81 de-
crees for separate maintenances grant
ed. So we have one marriage to every
10 going wrong. Two out of three ap.
plications for divorce were made by
women.
The cause for most of the divorces
was desertion, and the accusations
were brought against the men, nearly
two to one. Cruelty on the part of the
husbands was another prominent cause.
Drunkenness and adultery were the next
main charges.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A Student VIII you please explain
the difference between an "heir APP
parent" and an "heir presumptive" to
throne? Answer In point of law
the heir is the person who succeeds to
an estate or dignity upon the death
OF the previous holder Of such position.
A king or a queen may have an "heir
apparent and an heir presumptive
at the same time; the difference be-
tween the two being that the heir ap.
parent must succeed il he or she sur.
vive the present holder of the dignity
while an heir presumptive, although
he is an heir for the time being, is Ii.
able TO have his right to the succession
defeated by the birth Of nearer heir.

There are few young men nowadays
who show habits of thrift and econo.
my. There is Il disposition to spend
rather than save, and through love OF
personal adjournment, expensive habits,
and lack of that desire to lay aside
funds for rainy day, our young men

Unable value to them in the future.
We would not desire them to be mean

Lived When World Was Younq.

The real reason why the patriarchs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause in those days the fount OF hui
manity was fresher. While immunity
to certain diseases has been handed
down to US by our parents, we have
also received the weakened vitality
which was theirs as a result of their
fight against disease. Sooner or later
the race will become immune to tu-
berculosis, but with that immunity
will come the diminished power as a
result OF mani ind's long fight against
the white plague.

should we not resemble them? 1t is
