ANNEXATION SHELVED
FOR SEVERAL DAYS
Senator Duv all Side-Tracked On
Parliamentary Ruling--Will
Make Bitter Fight.
PRESSURE ON MINORITY MEN.
Every Effort to be Made to Prevent
Baltimore Riding Rough Shod
Over Anne Arundel.

After the first skirmish on Tuesday
night, when the city won over Balti-
more and Anne Arundel counties des-
pite the stiff fight put up by Senator
Duvall. of Anne Arundel county. and
had the measure re-committed to the
Judiciary Committee, annexation has
been shelved from an open fight on the
floor of the Senate for several days
With Governor Harrington as the
referee. the next several days will be
devoted TO conferences to bring about
an agreement and support by the State
administration Senators of an amend
ed annexation measure. The chief
point of compromise will probably be
the elimination of some of the terri
tory proposed for annexation in the
Field-Furst bill as originally intro
duced
While Frank Furst and City Solici-
ter Field Will represent the city in
these conferences, Senator Duvan, of
Anne Arundel will take the leading
part as representing the sections de-
sired for annexation by Baltimore city.
When ar agreement is reached the bill
agreed upon with the amendments at
tached, will at once be brought out by
the committee and the fight will be on
in the Senate.
Senator Duvall, who was side-lrack -
ed on a preliminary ruling which he
contends was not fair one, on Tues
day night is expected then to make a
bitter fight to prevent the city riding
rough shod over Anne Arundel 1t is
not definitely settled whether the bill
will be brought out this week or enar-
~ in he sessions of next week
Bitterly opposed to the whole plan
OF the Field-Furst bill, Senator Ogden,
of Baltimore, will not participate in
the conferences to be held, and this
will give the county people a chance
to fight for advantage to be gotten
from the fact that the ciy's forces are
divided against themselves
one of the rumors in connection with
the expected compromise which, il is
felt viii grow out of the conferences
being held. is to the effect that any
part of Anne Arundel will be aban-
doned and the city will content itself
with taking in just what portion OF
baltimore county u wants. While
willing to accept he exemption of
Anne Arundel. Senator Duvall will not
it is said. desert the fight and leave
Baltimore county in the lurch
Another report is that the city an
thorities are. some of them, inclined to
the belief that the city can expand
into Anne Arundel county in several
sections without actually taking in
either Brooklyn or Curtis Bay
The Republicans in the Senate have
not decided upon any concerted line OF
action, and the Baltimore and Anne
Arundel county forces are bringing all
sorts of pressure to bear upon the mi
nority men to either vote against an
nexation entirely, or at least hold tight
for a referendum to let the people OF
the porposed section to be annexed 10
express their preference and settle the
thing at the polls.

Fall Term of Court of Common
Pleas.

The October term of the civil
court convened Monday morning.
Hon. w. P. Greene of the Able
vile bar is presiding, having been
appointed by Governor Manning to
sit at Edgefeld as special Judge.
Judge Greene is one of the leading
lawyers of the Piedmont section
and has large clientele. Notwith-
standing his large law practice, he
finds time to edit the A bbeville
Press and Banner, of which very
estimable journal he is the editor
and owner. Judge Greene by his
able, fair and impartial decisions
has made favorable impression
upon both the legal profession and
the laity since he donned the ermine
for the first time in Edgefeld.
The first case to receive the con-
sideration of the court Monday was
the suit brought by Mrs. Henrietta
Scott against the Georgia-Carolina
Power Company for damages in
the sum of s4,O46, alleged to have
resulted from damage to her planta-
tion by the water impounded by
the dam across the Savannah river.
The back-water does not cover
the land of Mrs. Scott but it has
formed pools and has caused streams
on the farm of Mrs. Scott to be-
come stagnant, thus furnishing a
breeding place FOR mosquitoes which
has caused an epidemic of malaria
among tenants on the place as we'll
as in the family of the owner.
As there are about l5 other cases
similar to this one on the civil
docket, every inch of ground on
both sides is being contested by
able counsel. The plaintiff is being
represented by J. VIM. Thurmond
and 3. E. Nicholson and the de-
fendant company by Sheppard
Bros, Wright & Wright of Angus
ia and Elliot and Herbert of Co.
lumbia.
The testimony in the case was
completed yesterday afternoon and
the jury will be carried down to
Mrs. Scott's plantation in autemo;
biles By the Sheriff this morning to
inspect the premises involved. The
argument in the case will begin to-
morrow morning.

Another tie has been formed be-
tween two very old and honored
ia Miles. We refer to the marriage

J. r. Harling, which occurred in
Augusta Sunday afternoon at the
parsonage of the First Baptist
church, the Rev. Ashby Jones, D.
D., officiating.

gan, Mr.. and Mrs. G. NJ. Melli-
champ, Miss Eileen Harling, Miss

Miss Grace Thomas and Mr.. Frank
Lyon, motored to Augusta Sunday
afternoon. Soon after reaching the
city the wedding party repaired to
the parsonage where the lives of two
Edgefeld young people were united
until death shall part them. The
Advertiser joins the host of friends
of these popular young people In
extending sincere congratulations.

The School Parade.
Modoc, S. G..

The county fair is countrywide
enterprise and the citizens of every
section of the county should take an
active interest in it, feeling that 1t
is tkeir fair. An opportunity will be
offered Friday, the third day of the
fair, for every community to par
ticipate. A parade of school wagons
has been planned and handsome
prizes offered. There should be at
least 30 or 80 decorated wagons in
the parade. One of the very best
features of a former fair was the
school wagon parade. Let's all COM
bine our efforts and make the school
wagon parade the best part of this
fair. 1t can be easily done, if the pa
irons and trustees of the schools
will cooperate with the teachers in
having the schools represented.
County Superintendent of Educa-
ton w. w. Fuller heartily en-
dorses the holding of the school
wagon parade and has written to
the teachers urging them to have
their school participate in the pa
rade. Have your school represented
and win one of the prizes.

BIG Carnival For Fair Week

President James R. Cantelou and
the members Of the executive COM
mittee of the county fair closed a
contract Monday with Reynolds
Greater Shows for the week OF the
county fair. This is the strongest
collection of shows to be found in
this part of the country and the fair
management is fortunate in being
able to secure them. In addition to
IL tent shows of high order, Mr.
Reynolds has a brass band of II
pieces, Ferris wheel (the largest
in this section of the country and
Merry go-round that will surps ss
anything of the kind ever seen in
in Edgefeld before. Suffice it to say
that the best carnival that has ever
visited Edgefeld will be here fair

A Visit to Trenton.

Tuesday afternoon on invitation
of the Trenton W. G. T. U. two
Edgefeld members went over to
our neighboring town and enjoyed
a pleasant afternoon at an enthusl-
astic gathering of the Trenton 80
ciety at the home of the President,
Mrs. r. P. Salter. Among the in
teresting things done by the organi-
cation was the decision to bring an
automobile and perhaps decorated
wagon to Edgefeld on Thursday of
the Fair..Asxeryacapable-co commit.
tee was appointed for this purpose.
At the conclusion of the business.
Mrs. Cogburn and Mrs. Minis were
called upon to give an account of
their visits to the recent State CON
vent;on in Sumter.
The hostess served very dainty
salad course with coffee, and the
meeting closed just in time to allow
the Trenton ladies to reach thell
homes before the evening shadows
fell, but the visitors were overtaker
by darkness, and moonlight and star
light guarded them to their destl'
nation, until the electric lights OF
our fair city sent their magic beam:
to illumine their way.

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Cotton Picking Almost Over
Gram Sowing Has Begun.
Will Make Exhibit at
County Fair.

Summer fingers with us aud we
are glad to have it. Cold weather
draws us up and chaps our hands,
so they ache as though there were
fine bits of glass in them.
Guess we will have rain on the
18TH, when we have a change OF
the moon and the circus in Augusta.
then we will have cold weather in
earnest
We would like to kill hog OF
too, to catch on where our old
meat gives out. But tits early yet
for that, we pinch off" little
at time, trying to make it hold
out, until hog killing time. Talk.
ing of hog killing, and all the hay
not cut and housed, or oats, wheat,
or rye sowed. Almost the last scrap,
ing of cotton is over, though. We
have had grand weather for gather
ing it, and the price ought to be
good, for so little of it has been
stained.
The farmers are rushing to get
things gathered, and grain sowed
before long wet spell comes on.
In the cities, tits rush, rush, to catch
the most dimes and dollars. So it
goes, the world over.
Sunday was lovely, but very few
out at the Hardy's service. Con-
sidering the crowd, there was a
very good collection taken up for
the Orphanage.
Thursday of this week the w. M.
S. will meet at Mrs. Frances Townes
and we hope to have good collec-
ton then for the Orphans.
We hope all the other churches
may send in collections, for that is
one institution, and the aged minis
ters another, that deserves more aid
than any other.
The ladies' of the Meriwether
Club, and members of Sweetwater
church, will be put on the club ex.
Ehibit2 at the fair this season, and
hope to win first prize, to assist
their church funds toward repairing
the church and painting it. We
wish them every success, and hope
the men will exert every effort to
make this the finest exhibit ever
put on vet.
This being the week for the suits
against the Georgia and Carolina
Power Co., there are several of oul
men folks at Edgefeld. Messrs.
Will Briggs. John Roper, p. B.
Lanham, Jack Harling, Tom Miller,
II. L. Bunch and H. F. Cooper.
The men are so scarce in our
neighborhood, we miss them when
they go off. But my! how they dc
enjoy getting away from the hum
drum, every day life on the farm.
and TO exchange ideas with others
All work and no play, makes us all
dull and blue. 1t does us good to
mingle with our fellow creatures
We can begin again, and while al
work, think of the many pleasant
people we have come in contact with.
1t makes life worth while.
