Y. w. A. Rally at Parksville

A party OF Edgefeld ladies inter
ested in the Y. w. A. rally at
Palksvile left Ediefeld at $50
O'Clock Thursday morning, having
been belated by the hard morning
showers. The party reached there
just as the m orning session closed,
meeting our beloved state superin,
tendent of the Young Woman's
Auxiliary at the door, and Miss EN-.
mie Lanham associate superintend'
ent of the Y. ". A. for Edgefeld
association and other kind friends
and residents of Parksville. The
dinner was very pleasant opportu.
nifty for social intercourse, and was
manifestation of the kindly hospi'
tality of the Parksville people.
Miss Emmie Lanbam made very
efficient presiding officer and was
highly commended for her faithful
ness in being present under great
difficulties and in so wisely conduct
ing the meeting.
At the close of the meeting the
Edgefeld delegates were Hospitality
entertained in the homes Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Garrett Talbert and Dr.. Black
well. These friends were so hospi-
table and kind and so charming that
they caused great trouble in the end.

the local Y. w. A. at Edgefeld,

lives in Augusta, but is visiting her
son Mr.. Joe Brunson, Hon. Jasper
Talbert, Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Bus
sey, Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Morgan,
Mrs. J. g. Robertson and others.
We missed the faces of some dear
friends who were there TO greet us
on our last visit. especially Mr.. l..
f. Dorm and Mrs. Maggie Morgan,
AMI while others were there to take
their places, these true and tried
could not be effaced from our
memory.

A College Graduate.

A young college graduate said
the other day, Nov that I have
completed my education, l must de-
eide on vocation.
The chances for that young man
to make a success in life are not
very bright, for two reasons. In the
first place, he has not completed his
education; and i'll the second place,
his vocation should have been de-
cided on long ago.
Going through college and Sc.
curing diploma and a degree does
not make an education. knowledge
gained from books is not worth
much unless the knowledge thus
gained is applied in the every day
affairs of life. A college course
is not an education in itself; it is in

more readily acquire education later
on. 1t is intended to be a means to-

Miscellaneous Shower.

Tuesday afternoon Miss Lizzie
Hollingsworth gave miscellaneous
shower at her lovely country home
in honor of the bride-elect, Miss
Natalie Padgett. In spite of the
thunder storm that came up at the
hour of the shower, there were a
sufficient number of young ladies
present to make the occasion one of
unusual pleasure. The parlor was
decorated with a profusion of dal-
sizes. A musical contest afforded
pleasant diversion, as many Of the
guests were talented musicians.
Miss Nell Jones played several Sc
lections on the piano the titles bear
ing upon or being suggestive OF
the approaching nuptials of the guest
of honor and each one present sup
piled a name for each selection, a
prize, beautiful box of stationary,
being awarded the one giving the
most correct names. This distinc-
tion fell to the lot of Miss Natalie
Padgett. At the close of the con-
test the climax Of the very pleasant
occasion was reached when little
pickaninny, clad in white with yel-
low paper arranged about his form
to represent a yellow daisy, his
black head representing the black
centre, entered the parlor bearing
on his head a large waiter upon
which was arranged the beautiful
collection of tokens that were be-
bestowed upon the guest of honor
by her friends. The hostess served
ice cream and cake. So thoroughly
enjoyed was the occasion that the
congenial coterie were unmindful
of the lowering clouds and the elec-
trio display without.

Cigarettes and the "Movies. +"

You may never have thought of

especially true if the pictures are

Your boys and girls see these
pictures. They see handsomely
dressed men and richly gowned
women smoking cigarettes deity
extracted from ornamental cigarette
cases. Are they not likely to gain
the impression that cigarette smok-

The influence of the moving pic
lures is tremendous. Every COM

cult is under obligation to study the
needs Of the Courts of the Circuit be.

TENDER.
What are the needs of the Courts ?
l. Above all things the Courts of
the Blue Ridge Circuit need to forget
factionalism and craftsmanship. The
factions which formerly tore the peo-
pie apart are now well-nigh healed.
The people ought to prevent if they
can the re-opening of the old sores
of the GoberMorris factions of a few
years ago.
2. The Courts of the Blue Ridge
Circuit need judge who does not in
terfere in local affairs. Every County
ought TO have the right to rule itself
to elect its own officerS-without in
reference from the Judge of the su-
perior court. There was time when
factionalism was rife in the Blue Ridge
Circuit, that the heads of the factions
living in Marietta, undertook to gov
ern the local politics of all the coun.
ties Of the Circuit Such is not the
case at present No man has ever
heard Judge Patterson intimate that

ham, of Marietta, to the people of
the State as candidate for one OF
the three new judgeships of the Court

endorsements from former Judges
of that court and, the Su-
preme Court, the president OF the
State Bar Association, the bar of
Atlanta and Augusta, where he prac-
ticed law, and the bar. of Macon and
other places throughout the State.

There are thirteen candidates from
other parts of the State. vote for

others are voted for at the same

peals. | have found frequently that

he has judicial temperament; he
would not only fill acceptably one

man in Georgia better qualified for
such a position. Mr. Graham is a.

preciated by those who know him.

he would like to see such and such
man elected over some other man
for an office in any county in the cir
cult.
3. The Courts of the Blue Ridge
Circuit need judge who will be fair
to all factions, if factions there be,
in the counties which. make up the cir
cult. In the past some of the Counties
of the Blue Ridge have been imposed
upon; in fact, they have been outrage
oasly treated by having one-half or
tWu-thiriG If their white citizens dis
franchised and denied the right to
serve on juries. One good, intelligent
white man is as good as another and
ought not to be denied his rights be-
cause he does not agree in politics
with other white men who might
for the time being be in charge of the
political affairs of the County. We
believe that Judge Patterson feels in
his heart that every man is entitled
to his rights and tries to see to it that
he gets them.
A. The Courts of the Blue Ridge
Circuit need a Judge who feels that
the Courts ought to be run for the
benefit of all citizens and not for a
faction.
