Radcliffe Chautauqua Next
Week and Corn Show. Bap-
tist Pastor Called For
Full Time.

We ask for small space in your
very fair paper to write few dots:
Though we have been cut off from
the old mother county, yet we love
our people of the old ancestor coun-
ty, and will always be proud to say
that we were born in Edgefeld, be-
cause she has given to the State and
National Government men of re-
nown, whose names will go down
in history.
The Radcliffe Chautauqua will
will show here Oct. l6, II, and 18th.
This is high class entertainment,
giving plays that will entertain the
adults and please the children. We
secured these people to come be-
cause we believed this class of en-
tertainment would be uplifting to
the community in many ways, espe-
cially along the lines of agriculture,
education and health. We have on
the first day, Oct. l6, agricultural
day, man from Washington, D.
c., to lecture, also man for educa-
tional day, which is tie 18th, and
health day, which is the 18th, so
you see each day will have some
thing very beneficial and along lines
that people need to be informed, es-
pecially how to keep their body in
a healthy state, and as free from
disease as possible. These lectures
will be in the day, and at night
there will be high class acting. We
would be glad if all that can would
come, and especially those that
would like to learn just the things
to do to prolong life, and leave off
the things which bring on prema-
ture death. You and family come
if you can.

We had some great experience at

The first regular meeting of the
McDuffie literary society for this
session was held Friday afternoon.
Quite a number were present and
the program rendered was splendid.
The first number was humorous
reading by Annie Mae Culbreath.
She is naturally a good reader and
it is great pleasure to hear her fill
this part of the program. The cur
rent events by Lydia Brunson were
thoroughly interesting being mix
ture of the principal public topics
and original high school lips. | am

been present. Margaret May gave a
beautiful piano solo. The last num-
Der on the program was the debate.
Resolved: That congress acted
wisely in passing the Adamson
bill" Affirmative, Oaida Pattison,
Milledge Holston. Negative, Edwin
Folk, Genevieve Norris. The judges
decided in favor of the negative. In
the absence of the critic Professor
Bonner filled the place, his talk be-
ing interesting as well as beneficial.
The old constitution was in some
way misplaced and the following
committee was appointed to draw
up a new one: Professor Bonner,
Edwin Folk and Ouida Pattison.
The following subject for debate at
the next meeting was adopted. Re
solved: That a mans intellect is
greater than a woman's." Mr.. Fred

ing cobweb hunt. Many colored
strings were about everywhere, and
a prize at the end of one. Every
one found box of candy but the

RAY FOR ORDINANCE CREATING
STRIKE BUREAU

"The big garment strike OF last
fall would have had no murders ana
few arrests instead of three man
slaughters and LOO arrests if the
city of Chicago had-followed the po-
Icy of Gov. George w. P. Hunt IN the
Arizona copper strike"
This is the way Aid. Frank H. Ray,
I'D for reelection in 18th ward, looks
at it.
Labor papers report that the min
ers' union has won higher wages and
an agreement from the company to
meet grievance committee once
month";" said Ray. Though 5000
miners were on strike for weeks,
there was no violence. They are
rough fellows and they know how to
use guns and explosives. But there
wasn't a single deed of violence.
Why?
Because Gov. Hunt used the pow
ers of government to stop the big
mining companies from bringing IN
armed guards, gunner and sluggers.
The same sort of determined and in
telIigent action by the mayor OF Chi
cago during the garment strike would
have ended that brutal struggle with
peace and decency and in a short
time instead of long-drawn bloody
struggle.
"Was there ever more sensible
ordinance passed by the city council
than the one calling for policemen
to wear their stars on the outside OF
their coats when on strike duty? Yet
that ordinance Chief Healey refused
to enforce and Corporation Counsel
Ettelson declared Illegal.
eff any one in my ward wants to
know where l stand on this strike
