Statement From MIR. Scott.

To the Citizens and Voters of
Edge6eld County: Beinga candi-
date for Supervisor I think it right
to give my views. First the Super
.v;itsof should 90 over ali roads and
see what is needed, then have bad
places repaired. think all marrow
roads should be- widened, especially
on main roads. Then where it is
necessary and possible make roads
around steep hills, / know every
true citizen will give or sell, right
of way at a minimum cost. l also
think the gang should work main
roads. Then have other roads
worked by other means. We all
know it is, impossible to work all
roads with gang, but have some (
thing done to all of them if nothing
but patched. Let none gounworked.
About dividing the gang, I would
have TO figure the extra cost.
The above is my idea as to how
the roads should be worked, and if
am elected / will,do my duty to
the best of my ability.
Respectfully,

Weekly Letter From Edgefield
Schools.

The committee appointed to de,
eide on Field day. program met in
the conrt house last Saturday.
Edgefeld was decided upon as the
best place to have the exercises and
the date will be Friday, April 7. 1t
has been arranged so that every
school will have some part on the
program. The first thing in the
morning will be a parade consisting
of those present from the different
schools. A prize of $40 is offered
to the school having the most rem
resentatives. Then the welcome ad-
dress will be followed by the athlet
ic contests. The evening will be
given up to a defamation and
recitation contest, and a. gold med
al is offered to the winning boy
and girl. Dinner will be served on
the grounds and everybody is cor
daily invited to come. A more
definite program will appear in the
paper later.
The teachers are arranging to
present in the movies John Barley
corn," Jack London famous story.
All those who have read the book
know what thrilling story it is,
and I am sure it will 5e still more
interesting on the scene. Jack Lon
don, himself, appears and takes the
leading part in the play. Every
man, woman and child in Edgefeld
should see this picture for it is both
interesting and beneficial. 1t will
be presented in the opera house,
Friday evening, February 25. The
funds will go to the school i'm
provement club.

HARDY's HAPPENINGS.
Beautiful Tribute to Mrs. Meal
ing. Sunday School at Sweet. 7
water. Good Work on
Reads.

La Grippe has been visiting our
peighborhood again for the past
two weeks. We hear Mrs. julia
Townes, Mrs. siallie Bunch and
household, Mr.. George Wright and
family are having it. Mr.. Meadie
Hammond's little daughter has had
bronchitis but we are glad tu hear
that all of these good people are
some better and we hope will soon
be all right again. Mrs. Bunch con-
tinues very poorly and does not
gain strength. Ss
We were grieved to lose another
friend, January 81, Mrs. Evan
Mealing. A dear sweet old lady has
gone from our midst to a fairer
land than ours. We have known
her and loved her always and ex-
tend our loving sympathy to the
bereaved family. The day she was
buried the heavens seemed to
be weeping for her loss with her
loved ones it poured rain so con-
stantly all the day long. Her neph-
ews were her pail bearers, among
them being Mr.. Tom Getzen, Jr.
He spoke very beautifully of his
aunt and his love for her. We are
only remembered by what we have
done, and oh, that we may each one.
leave good impression on our
friends and loved ones, and not be
forgotten as soon as they
turn from our last resting place.
Mrs. Townes we were glad to see
in Augusta Saturday. Also Mrs. R..
L. McKie. Mrs. McKie spent Sun.
day afternoon with Mrs. Sallie
Bunch, also Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Bunch and little folks.
MIR. George Townes returned to
Aiken Sunday afternoon after q
visit to bis mother, Mrs. Hubert
Smith. :
DIR. and Mrs. R. L. McKie are
anticipating getting a car this week
we bear. The roads have been patch
ed by DR.. McKie from his home
down good way and the convlcts
did some good work up as far as
Mr.. Geo. McKie's, so really from
the Aiken county line down the
road is in the best condition we
have ever known it for this season
of the year. But we think it would
be a good idea to run DR.. McKie
for the Aiken county supervisor,
then perhaps we would get what
we have never had, that is our road
put in frst-class order so autos
could run over them at all seasons
of the year especially over that
portion of the road.
Miss Matte Shaw and Miss
Adilee McKie have been on visit
to Miss Georgia Reese before she
leaves for North Carolina.
Mr.. John Reese is staying over
at the new bungalo on the five
notch road in the sand beds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Barker
made trip to Augusta On Tuesday
last and returned in the pouring
rain. We heard she was not we'll
from the trip, but we hope she is
we'll again.

Account of Simmons Ridge Sa
marian Association.

Mr.. Editor:- Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to say
a few words about the grand old
Simmons Ridge Samaritan Baptis,
association (colored) whose last ses
sion convened at the place of its
birth. the old historic church neal
E1gefeld, s, c., known as Simmon
Ridge. This meeting was held DC,
tober l4-l5, 1915, with alarge dele
ga,ion answering to their names at
the first roll call. Rev. w. M. Pc
terson the beloved moderator, call,
ed the meeting to order at ll:4O
a. m. The weather was fair and the
glad hand shaking sof the brethren
and the smiles on their faces gave
proof that they were in good spirit
ual trim and ready for business.
This spirit was shown all through
the meeting. There were some very
important subjects discussed and
some good sermons preached. Rev.
J. w. Fishburn of New York was
among the distinguished visitors.
There was a handsome sum Of mon
ey raised for all purposes and every
schoel that was represented was re-
mem mbered in the contributions sent
up by the churches for education.
This association was organized at
the above named place 81 years ago
by our fathers who have since quit
time for eternity one by one until
only a few have been left to tell of
the dark days of its birth when on
ly cne in their midst in the person
of r. "A. Green that was able to
make record of their business.
This sad story is often told by
Rev. G. A. Morgan, one of the old
divines that the Lord has yet spared,
who helped to arrange the consti.
tuition and bylaws that we are still
guided by. Revs. G. A Morgan,
B. w. Jones, Simmons, Michael
Morgan, Lie. d. Y. Martin to the
writer's memory are abont the only
ones living that was in the organi-
za:ian of this association Itiswon-
derful to think that the constitu.
ton and bylaws was so we'll ar
ranged that very little if any i'm
provement has been made. Those
old fathers laid we'll the foundation
for the coming genetstion to build
upon. This they haven't failed to
do, for in the organization there
was about sixteen churches repre-,
sented and at present there are
thirty-six churches with a total
membership above eight thousand.
The next session will be held with
Mt. Hermor Baptist church near
Troy, S. c., Thursday before the
third Sunday in October, 1915.

Clerk.

FIELD DAY.
Schools of Entire County VIII
Unite in Field Day Exer-
cises at Edgefield on
April z.

On Friday, April Z, the schools
of Edgefeld county will celebrate
Field day at Edge6eld. The enroll
ment of pupils of EdgefeId county
is about twenty-five hundred, and
we expect at least twenty. five hum
dred people, including teachers and
parents, to be here that day. There
will be valuable money prize Civ
en- to that school which has present
the greatest per cent of its enroll
ment, and, in case of a tie, this
prize will be given to the school
making the neatest and best ap-
pearance in the county sch.ol chill
dren's parade, which will be the
first event of the day.
The merchants of the town
should "clean up'' quite nice lit
tie profit Field day, for it is safe
bet that very few out of the thou
sand or two people who spend the
day here, will leave without buying
something, anything from a sack
of peanuts to a suit of clothes or a
moving machine. The parents and
school officials who accompany the
children to town will certainly make
the visit an occasion to purchase
something, and 40 save themselves
special trip to town. 1t is only
just that the merchants help the
central committee with prizes for
the events, and their hearty CO.
operation ,is expected.
Your special attention is called to
the declaimers' contest to be held
the night following the exercises.
Ali students above the sixth grade
are admitted to this contest, and
the boy or girl who wins will receive
each six dollar gold medal. Each
school in the county is allowed two
contestants, one boy and one girl

The Integrity of the Family.

In the literacy of its inhabitants,
in the per capita wealth or its in
habitants, and in certain other res
poets the State of South Carolina
ranks low among the forty eight,
but in the sanctity attaching to
tEarriagss ard the marriage bond,,
in the preservation and protection
of the integrity of the American
family, the State of South Carolina
ranks first and its place is unrivaled
and unquestioned.
There is not the faintest likeli-
hood that the people of South Car
olina will surrender the one thing
that more than all others gives the
State distinction and of which her
people wherever they may go may
and do speak with honest pride.
In South Carolina the theory and
the practice are that family life,
family honor and the rights Of chill
dren shall be protected even though,
in rare cases. the happiness of an
individual man or woman be sac.
rifced.
There will never be divorce
law in South Carolina. The State.

| Clifford Sifton MacDougall, Red Riv- J err, Manitoba:-If you firmly believe the widow reciprocates your affections, ! go Go it The fact that her four sons are all older and larger than yourself, may result in some friction at times when picking out socks in the morning and on similar occasions, but if you are willing to risk it, the neighbors will not likely interfere.
 Olga Nethersole Swanson, Enum- claw, Wash:-Da not baen no yob open in your line hare, but the Stroller, who is Scandinavian faller hisself, will kape eye peeled au' let you know first ting when yob show up.
 Grover Cleveland Smith, Glen Mary, Tennessee:-You have grave cause for worry for, if this present temperance wave continues to gather strength, the old wildcat still which you say has been handed down from father Go son for five generations and is now your sole means of support, may fail you. But the Stroller cannot believe the tem per- ance wave will have anything in com mon with your locality, for the last time be was there he noted two things:
 First-Everybody appeared to be pos. sessed of an unquenchable thirst.
 Second-Moonshine was selling at cents per drink or three for ten cents.
 What more could any man ask-a thirst and the privilege of tickling it for five cents-or bright red iags guar anteed to last 24 hours for twenty cents? The Stroller cannot harmonize temperance waves and the sentiment of your locality as he last knew it.. Con tiuue to plug along. Keep the old still dripping and don't worry about the bridge until you come to it. Suppose you still manage to pick off cue of those "pestering revenuers" occasion ally? Killing is too good for them. They ought to be given fifty years by a judge or Three Weeks by Elinor Glyn.
Douglas Island news., 1916-05-31

The usually serene and light running domestic life led by theStroller has been somewhat disorganized during tue past ! few months, owing to change in loca. tion and other unforeseen contingencies and the result is that he is far behind with his correspondence, much of which has been yearning for answers for weeks aud much of which must continue to yearu as it is not possible for the Stroller to clear bis correspon- dence hook at one sitting, much as be would rejoice to do SO. As it is, only the most urgent of the accumulated correspondence can be answered at this time. The remainder will be dis posed of at a more convenient season.
 To Student, University of Washing ton. :-Cincinuatus was not a Greek but a Roman You are evidently thinking of Socrates, "Old Socs" the Athens school children used to call him. Cinciunatus was a plain farmer until chosen by his fellow Romans to lead their army. He was blowing for spring wheat at the time a delegation called on him to take charge of the army aud he left bis oxen stand in the furrow for twelve years while he fought Romes enemies. Later, and when he came home and found that his family had become somewhat disOrgan ized--during his absence This sons ate pie with knife and his daughters chewed guml, he loaded a scOW with maccarOui aud sailed for America, where he founded Cincinnati, Ohio. The last time the Stroller was in Cincinnati he met a decendent of Cincinnatus. He was selling hot ta- males. He said it was not a noble calling but that, as he had large and rapidly increasing family, he was obliged tO engage in any honest work that would enable him to catcha da mon.
 Jefferson Davis Scott, Jacksonville, Florida:-In the first place you were premature iu shooting the nigger The Tact that he was merely walking along tbe road adjacent co your watermelon field every day was not conclusive evil dence that he had designs on your melons when they matured. However, you were lucky bat tue charge against you was that of discharRinR ireaI m within half mile of a church instead of the more serious one of murder The further fact that you were fined Si.5O and costs when che regular schedule in your locality for shooting niggers is only 30, is evidence to the Stroller that you are not very popular. You say you never paid more tban S5 before and that in several instances you were let off with 63. While S750 does look rather steep, the Stroller would not advise you Go appeal the case. Better allow the judgment Co stand and pay the fine. The judge evidently "has it in" for you aud perhaps it will be we'll for you not Co take a further chance before him. Unless you have extraor. diuary provocation, the Stroller suR- gests that you do not kill any more niggers for a matter of four or five months, by which time any sentime mt which may have been engeudered by your recent action will have been for gotten.
