Qulet In the Trenchea.

A soldier at the front, who writes q
letter to British provincial paper,
says that there is usually an evening
bombardment, and after it is over
everything is very quiet. You can
then wander through the communica-
ton trenches" he says, for mile
or more without meeting soul, and
when the fire trenches are reached,
one often sees nothing more dreadful
than man in the depths Of dug
out peaceably cooking his evening
steak over a coke brazier." Later, the
star shells begin to go up, and these
shed a sort of silent glimmer over
the whole fat country"

The British Weekly relates the fol,
lowing conversation as having been
overheard in Y. NJ c. A. hut: But
aren't the trenches dreadfuIly wet?"
I'VE drain our trenches very well
now"
But aren't the rats very Awful?'
Not Bit
Il suppose you have ferrets and ter
riers to help to get rid Of them?"
oh, no, we don't. We tanned the
little beggars. and they're so friendly
now they come and SIT round us when
we're having meal, and hold out their
little pink hands for food"

Wars HUGE pemanda.

In the British house of commons
Harold ]. Tenant, parliamentary UNI
der secretary of the war office, Illus
trated the tremendous development Of
the army. by saying that, whereas in
peace time under two million articles
of apparel, such as tunics, boots and
similar articles, had suficed since the
war began, they had produced Ill.,
100000 of these articles, while the
stores purchased would have lasted
40 normal years.

first. In fact, l had lawyer busy
tracing you, and learned you had come
east a few days before l recognized
you from your photograph. Then 1
wanted to speak right away, but l
knew Aunt Milly had been the proud
est woman in Connecticut, and would
simply have run away, $3.50 forgive
me and come home, Aunt Milly."
With that the pride of years was
broken. The tears that dimmed her
eyes spoke eloquently of the haven
found at last, after all those years
And those in Ruth's eyes told also Of
dreams that might become true.

Work Day For Orphanage.

Attention once more is called to
the Orphanage Work Day that has
been announced for September 80
next. Appeals have gone out from
the various institutions to Sunday
school superintendents and all 9th
ers who are likely to be interested
in the project. Emphasis might
be given to the fact that Sunday
school and church people are not
the only ones who could take part
in such deserving work. The
destitute and helpless orphan should
appeal to every individual within
our State. Contributions may be
sent to any Institution that one may
prefer. 1t certainly looks as if any
person might afford to give one
day out of the year as Labor Day
for the orphan children and con-
tribute the results of the day, or
the income of the day, to their care
and training. 1t is to be hoped
that thousands and thousands of
our people will cooperate in the
Work Day effort.

The guests were gIe1ueu uy mrs.
Broadwater and invited to partake
of delightful fruit punch served by
Miss Mary DeLoach. Over the
punch bowl was suspended ashower
bouquet of pink roses and garlands
of pink roses, making the hall look
beautiful. The guests chatted for
a while in the parlor, being enter
tained by the player piano and Sc
lections from the guests.
Soon the girls were invited out
on the cool and roomy porch where
several tables were arranged for
rook. Progressive rook is always
welcomed with delight by crowd
of girls. After many interesting
games it was found when all Of
the scores were counted that Miss
Brook Jones had won the highest
score. The score cards serving as
souvenirs, were beautifully decorated
with tiny pink parasol filled with
sweet peas. Delicious chocolate
and vanilla cream was served with
several kinds of delightful cake.
The occasion had equaled If not
surpassed any rook party of its kind
of the season, according to how
much pleasure it afforded.

A Statement From Supervisor
Edmunds.

To the Voters of Edgefeld County
Gentlemen: Since the election Of
last Tuesday, as Bill Arp would
say, l have been Illuminating" over
something to write, but the more
ruminate" the less 1 think of wri
ting any thing. However, since
meeting with so many people, some
of whom seemed to be more disap,
pointed at my defeat than myself,
l feel that it is my duty to say for
my friends consolation that such
is politics"
And now let me say to those that
voted for me, 1 certainly am CRATE
full, and to those that did not: l
certainly can excuse-but to those
that went out and fought me wrong
fully I shall never forget! But it is
all over now, and it is just another
reminder that no supervisor with
the present facilities Of working
roads and the increased desire for
better roads, can do his duty and
succeed himself as supervisor. Let
us hope, however, that the newly
elected supervisor will give such
satisfaction that no one will op-
pose him four years hence. AS TO
what ] shall do another year / have
not fully decided. I may take old
Alb Clark's proposition: A few days
ago he walked up to me and said
If you will go back down on your
lower place and 60 to farming l
will lend you 81, ZOO to do business
with next year God, you'd better
take my "icvice''-you gwine fool
about here and let politics ruin you
yit," so
Then what's the use of pining
Where there's will there's way,
Tomorrow the sun may be shining,
Altho' its cloudy to-day.
(All join in the chorus.)

reached Greenwood at five o'clock,
and were glad to see old Edgefeld
in the persons of Will Cogburn and
Calhoun Mays.
Sunday morning we attended Sun
day school and preaching at the
South Main Street Baptist church.
Here we met and saw more Edge
field people doing good work, Miss
Madge Mays and the Smith twins.
We were glad to see these girls.
Mr.. Will Nixon, an old Clark's
Hill man, and quite a number of
leading church workers are from
Edge6eld county. This church has
nine deacons and four of them. F.
N. K. Bailey, w. H. Yeldell, J.
M. Gaines and A. E. Adams, are
from the old mother county. Cal
houu Mays is auditor of the church
and Prof. ]. F. Entzmlnger direc-
tor of music. This made our heart
glad and I know it will be joy to
others to know that dear old Edge
field men and women, when they
are cut off from the old county,
continue the Masters work.
Monday morning The streets were
alive with bright young faces, as all
public schools opened on that day.
The B. M. /. boys and Lander girls
are expected in by Tuesday night.
We went over to the B. M. /. this
morning and found Col. Bailey,
Prof. Entzminger and Capt. Cain
moving around as if by gas.
Lake Middleton, the little daugh-
ter of MIR. and Mrs. R. H. Middle
ton, was bitten by a snake last
week. She did not suffer very much
from it and is doing nicely this
week.
Our whole neighborhood was
saddened this morning on account
of the leaving of our beloved Chris
tian friend, Mr.. w. R. Leggat. He
has gone to Temple, Texas, where
he will be with his wife and two
daughters. We hate to give him
up. May God bless him AID his
good wife wherever they are. He
has always been q good worker in
church, discharging every duty
placed upon him.

with you. Let each school try to
make an extra contribution to State

Miss Mary Bell left this week
for Coker college and John Dallas
Bunch leaves this week for Green
wood to enter the B. M. /.
Mrs. H. E. Bunch, was in Au-

she met up with Mrs. Ethel Hughes

reports that joy and happiness are
