m HAT the United States is
VI out in earnest for the bus
mess supremacy of the
world and that there is every
prospect of attaining that po-
ISition becomes more clearly
evident with each days de-

As a great and growing ma
ton we have, of course, look
ed forward with this national
ambition in view for many
years, and several times in the
past we thought it was within
our grasp. But never before
have circumstances both with
in and without the country fa-
vored our efforts as they have
in the past year, and a few
days ago the first corporation
especially designed for handl-
ing foreign investments was
launched by a group of the
most powerful bankers in the
cOuntry.-Boston Post.

gotten to the polls.

by this city; will any church

this?

The amazing thing of the day was
the bum memory of Sunny. There
was surprise or laughter on. nearly

cooIIy said he didn't know anything
about the proposed sale of the auto

he had heard it talked about among
A. T. &. T. officers and among Illinois

Foster-Mr. Sunny, you were vice
president of the American Telephone

1918, when this contract was writ
ten?
SUnny-Yes.
Foster-You are also president of
the Wisconsin Telephone Co., the
Michigan Telephone Co. and the
Cleveland Telephone Co., are you
not?
Sunny am. Yes.
Foster-Yet you were not consult
ed in the making of this contract and
know nothing about it until A. T. & T.
officers in New York and officers of
the Automatic company in Chicago
told you about it?
Sunny-I did not assist in writing
the contract and know nothing ex-
cept what l learned by reading it.
Foster-You don't know why the
A. T. &. T. wants to pay $6,3OO,OOO for
this property, which you say may
be scrapped? You don't know what
consideration is expected by the
A. T. & T.?

New York, July 10. - Harry K.
Thaw, who shot and killed Stanford

accepted the finding of the jury that
declared Thaw sane and Immediately
after announcing his decision admit
ted Thaw to S35, bail.
Warned by deputy marshals, the
big crowd in the courtroom attempt
ed no demonstration. Thaw himself
sat UnmoVel by the decision. When
the court oveTrUled the states at
tempt to block his release on bail, he
turned on Deputy Atty Gen. Cook
a quiet smile of triumph. His nine
year fight for freedom had been won,
but Thaw was the most Undemon-
strative person in the great crowd in
and around the supreme court build

the superiority of the automatic?
Sunny-Wen, I think the answer to
that is that if the automatic is more
successful the Bell would adopt it as
the standard.
Foster What would the Chicago
Telephone Co. do with the automatic
system in Chicago if permitted to buy
it for $6,3OO,0OO as proposed?
SUnny-I can't say. First, we would
investigate its uses. That would take
about six months. Then we would.
decide what to do with it.
Foster-What would your company
do about the $6,3OO,OOO purchase
price?
SUnny-We would put the $780,
900 on our books and add it to our
capital account the same as other
expenses or property.

Death of Mrs. J. v. MelIichamp.

1t was a great shock to many
friends of Mrs. Mellichamp and her
family here, when her sudden death
was announced in Edge6eld on
Thursday. On Sunday morning Mrs.
Mellichamp, and MIR. and Mrs. Cut
tino Mellichamp came over from
their home in the country to attend
services in the Baptist church, and
were so cordially greeted by their
friends who had OPP crtuEity to
speak to them.
Mrs. Mellichamp had enjoyed the
midday meal with her family as
usual on Wednesday, and had gone
to her room for a few moments Of
rest. Remaining longer in her room
than usual, some of the family went
to inquire about her, and found her
lying, as if asleep across her bed,
with her Bible opened as if just laid
aside. Mrs. Mellichamp passed out
into the better world with the word
of God Just freshly laid upon her
heart, from communion on earth to
sweeter communion above.
Before her marriage Mrs. Melli-
champ was Miss Jessie Viola Mo.
Nulty of Georgetown. For num-
her of wears some member Of the
family have lived in Edgetield, first
Mr.. Albert Mellichamp who attend
ed Col. Bailey's school, and won the
respect and esteem of the communi-
ty; and then Cuttlno Mellichamp
who graduated at the S. G. G. l.
and came to live and make his resi-
dence in our county The family liv-
ed in Edgefeld, ,with the sister Miss
Viola, for several years, and endear-
ed themselves to our whole commu-
nifty. Some months ago, Miss Viola
went from the Connie Maxwell or
phanage where she was successful
matron, to live with her brother AL
bert Mellichamp in Mississippi, ex-
pecting to have her mother join her
at the coming Christmas.
The sad news did not reach this
sister and brother, on account of
the distance, in time for them to at
tend the funeral wnich took place
at Gilgal church on Friday morning.

Yield Yet Uncertain.

County Demonstration Agent p.
N. Lott who is. close observer, es-
pecially of things pertaining to ag-
riculture, says the condition of the
cotton generally, not speaking of
any particular section, indicates
that the yield will be short. Already
blooms are appearing near the top
Of the stalk. Better continue to
economize. Do not allow yourself
to fall INTO extravagant ways, rely
ing upon big cotton crop at fan
cy price to pay you out this fall.
Few things are more uncertain than
the yield and price of cotton.

Very Brilliant Reception.

The Edgefeld friends of Mrs.
Annie Easterling, nee Miss Annie
Parker, have given her royal well
come to her old home town. She was
the guest of her school mate, Miss
Mary Evans, and has been the re-
cipient of much attention by her
friends who wish her visits might be
more frequent than they have been
since Aiken has been her adopted
home.
In compliment to Mrs. Easter
ling, Miss Sophie Dobson enter
tanned on last Tuesday afternoon at
a five O'Clock tea at their handsome
home, ''Fairview." The guests,
twelve in number, were received by
Mrs. R. G. Shannonhouse, Mrs. P.
J. Feltham and Mrs. W. A. Strom,
who invited them into the spacious
parlor where sounds of sweet music
from the Victrola filled the air with
songs of Caruso, Schumann, Heinck
and other operate stars interspersed
with the popular melodies of the
day. Most of the number present
were school friends of Mrs. Easter
ling and conversation of a reminis-
cent vein was enjoyed as incidents
of school days were recalled, made
especially interesting by the spark
ling wit and clever repartee of the
honor guest.
In the halls an1 .parlor shasta
daisies and ferns were used with
splendid decorative effect, the white,
gold and green blending in barmo-
NOUS tone-colors. Tea was served
on the broad veranda which was en-
closed with porch shades and green
plants. The floral centerpiece on the
large oval table was mass of dai-
sizes and at each plate were place
cards with initial of hostess in gilt
to which was tied daisy with white
and yellow ribbon. Misses Ruth
Strom and Grace Dobson served,
and the three courses were Waldorf
salad in orange baskets, brolled
chicken on toast, patties filled with
English peas, sandwiches and iced,
tea, and strawberry ice cream with
fancy iced cakes.
Mrs. Easterlipg wore a beautiful
white taffeta dress and large picture
hat and was much admired by those
present. The afternoon was one of
genuine pleasure to all and the time
for departing came too soon to the
delighted guests, some of whom
were transported to their homes in
an automobile by Mr.. Charles r.
Dobson who shared with his sister
the honors of the occasion in DIS
pensing pleasure to Mrs. Easterling
and her friends.
