Surprise Shower.

On Saturday afternoon at 5
o'clock a company of friends and
neighbors were seen to be mysteri-
ously vending their way down on
Jeter street from every point of the
compass. They all met at Miss Sudie
Covar's and as they entered the
house they seemed to be concealing
something, but it was too large to
be hid, and now and then the colors
of pink and white would strike the
eye,
finally as ali had gathered, a
lovely pink and white basket made
by Mrs. b. B. Jones and filled by
friends with gifts of love was dis
played, and in few minutes all re.
paired to the adjoining home OF
Mrs. Emeline Cartilage to carry
this unique testimonial of esteem to
Miss Addie Cartilage. 1t was entire,
ly unexpected, but the family ex'
hibited the same pleasant hospitaE'
ty as if it had not been, and the lit
tie program consisted of a poem
read bv Mrs. Moseley written by
Mrs. B. B. Jones who was i'll ano
unable to be present and few words
from Mrs. J. L. Minis in presenting
book made by Mrs. Jones for the
registering of guests for the shower
as we'll as for the occasion of tht
wedding which takes place June 80
1t was interesting to see the show
er taken from the basket and sur
veyed by the recipient and the la
dies present. Little Allen Samue
made dainty cupid with his fata
bow and arrow.
Those present were, Mrs. A. T
Samuel, Miss Lillian Smith, Mrs
Sallie B. Mosley, Mrs. J. M. Cobb
Mrs. B. L. Jones, Mrs. W. H
Dorm, Miss Sudie Covar, Mrs
Mamie N. Tillman, Mrs. j. L

Interesting News Letter From
Philippi.
written for last week. }

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:
read your newsy paper every week
and certainly enjoy it. think it is
good paper. As / have not seen
anything from this neighborhood
for some time I will write a few
items. Our Sunday school had
reached a high state of excellence,
one that our worthy superintendent
has been striving for, We hav"
about enough money on hand 10
curtain off all of the classes, which
we think will be great blessing to
the school. We have preaching
every first and third Sunday by our
pastor, Rev. A. G Baker. He is
very much beloved by everybody.
We regret to report that Mrs. II.
w. Jackson's condition is no bet
ter. She is in the hospital in Angus
ia.
Mr.. Ed Cullum went over to Au-
gusta three times in one week carry
ing persons from Johnston and this
community. He expects to take a
"trip to Bolton, S. c.. where he has
a brother who is engaged in farming.
We observed cigarette day in our
Sunday school June IL. We had ?
recitation by Karl Cullum, A
threat from little 'rommie;;" Cecil
Scott, "The harm in wine, cider,
beer, cigarettes and taking the Lords
name in vain;" Lawson Scott, No
cigarette for me-" Pansy Derrick,
"Not fit to be kissed" Mrs. Mary
Cullum read the selection, Where
is the harm in the cigarette?:"
AS Sunday was Temperance Sun
day. Miss Dorothy Williams,
graduate of Coker college and
daughter of Mr.. Jesse Williams,
read the piece, 1T saves the boys
if we can keep them from using al
cohol until they are 2l." Then they
are not apt to form the habit after
that age.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Scott visited
in the home Of Mr.. Boliver Rhoden

Mr.. George w. Scott.
Mrs. J. M. Rushton spent Satur-

be missionary. He was called home
to be at the bedside of his mother,
Mrs. H. w. Jackson. Il
Master Leon Cullum spent Sun
day in the home of Mr.. Wilbur
Clark. Must be some attractions
there.
Farmers have been very busy

Report of President to the
Stockholders Of the Edgefield
Building & Loan Associa-
ton at the Annual Meet
ing Held Friday, June
18th, 1916.

In connection with the report for
the past year, which has been pre-
pared by Mr.. J. H. Allen, Treas
urer, and which has been submit
ted to the stockholders, desire to
make brief statement of the his
tory and accomplishments of the
Association.
The Edgefeld Building & Loan
Association was organized in the
year 1899, and commenced business
on the 10th day of June of said
year. 1t has done business almost
exclusively in the Town of Ed ge-
field. Since its organization it has
made loans to its stockholders
amounting to sl26,o57.OO; has earn
ed in profits for the benefit of its
stockholders $40, ,69s.95; has paid
taxes amounting to sl524.30; and
has furnished money to build elgh-
ty-fve per cent. of the residences
which have been erected in the
Town since its organization, and
has also furnished the money to
build sixty. five per cent. of the bust
ness buildings which have been
erected during this time. None of
the officers of the Association re-
ceive any salary, except the Treas
urer, who receives small salary
for collecting the dues, keeping the
books, and attending to almost all
of the current business of the Asso-
citation. The total expenses IN
salaries and all other expenses, In
cluding taxes, since the organlza-
ton of the Association has been
s145l.59, or average expenses of
$50 per year. The Association has
never lost a dollar and has never
had to foreclose mortgage. When
we take into consideration the fact
that we have small town without
many large industrial enterprises, l
think that this is a good record of
which the stockholders of the AS
sociation should be justly proud.
This Association offers TO all of
our citizens who are earning modest
sa laries an opportunity to make in
We stments by payments in monthly
installments in such amounts as
they can afford to invest, and at
the same time gives them form OF
investme which is available in
case of necessity. 1t offers to all
of our citizens who can obtain lot
upon which 10 build, an opportu-
nifty to own homes at cost slightly
in excess of the monthly rental
which they have to pay. All OF
the young men and women should
be encouraged to take stock in the
Association, for it will not only
help them to form the habit of
thrift, but will also make for sta
bility of character and purpose in
their lives. 1 invite the attention
of all of the people of our commu-
nity to our annual report and ask
for their hearty support of our In
stitution.
Respectfully submitted,
B. E. NICHOLSON,
President.

A Hymn of Child Warfare.
MOLLY WITFoRD ANDERSON.

MOLLY WITFoRD ANDERSON.
Inspector of Almhouses, New York
State Board of Charities.
O God of little children, whom thou on
earth didst love,
Look down to-day and bless them from
Heaven high above.
Our orchards and our vineyards we till
with Jealous care
But child-plants, unprotected, are droop-
ing everywhere.
O God of little children, teach US to
know their worth,
Of such shall be thy kingdom in
Heaven and on earth,
And in the great world-garden thy
laborers are we
To guard and keep the blossoms for all
eternity.
0 God of little children, we have no
wealth beside.
Teach US to seek and save them by
effort nationwide,
To fight the foes that threaten, the
weeds and pest and blight,
For every child-plant growing is pre-
ious in thy sight.
O God of little children, thy garden
shall be titled
By US whose hearts are wakened, thy
prophecies fulfilled,
The desert long neglected shall bios
som as the rose,
With health and hope and freedom for
every child that grows.
The Survey.
