Miss Ida Folk Entertains.

From the very first moment that
there is a rumor, somebody's gong
to give party" we are alert to
know who and when, and we look
ed forward with keen and peculiar
pleasure to the party given on We'd
nesday evening by Miss Ida Folk
in honor of Misses Mary Ethel and
Genevieye Fitzmaurice.
This later generation is keeping
up old Edgefeld's reputation for
her hospitable homes.
A short shower cooled and re-
freshed the atmosphere which had
been hot and dusty. As we ap-
preached the scene of gaiety the
shrubbery was lit by many bright
colored japanese lanterns. AS we
came still nearer we saw many
young couples sitting about on the
porch. Walking around the porch
we came upon a most delightful
bowl of fruit nectar served By Mis-
ses Genevieve Norris, 1lene Har-
ling and Willie Peak. Many of the
guests yielded to the temptation to
drink several glasses because they
were daintily served and the punch
was the result of skiilful and ex,
perienced hands.
Search where you will and you
will find nothing that will better
entertain crowd than progressive
conversation. This way of amuse-
ment has proven its worth by the
way it has gained popularity and
by the way it is SO immensely en-
ioyed by those taking part. Score
cards were given to the boys and
girls and dates were made, and
when the bell tapped everybody
was off, some for seat on the COM
Portable swing, others for cool hooks
near the japonica trees, and still
others on the veranda.
Everybody knows how success
fui Mr.. Folk has been in making
all sorts of beautiful plants grow,
which are usually found only in hot
houses. These plants formed love-
ly background for the lanterns and
the pretty costumes of the young
ladies.
Fourteen numbers gave US an op-
portunity to talk to and meet four
teen young people, some from
neighboring towns but most of
them from Edgetield.
During the last part of the four
teenth conversation a salad course
consisting of chicken salad on let
tuce leaves, crackers, pickle, sand
wiches and tomatoes with mayon-
naise was served.
Il must have been very nearly
twelve when the guests reluctantly
left, thinking that one of the sea
sons most delightful parties was
over all too soon.

Miss Parker Very Talented.

For the past six months or longer
Miss Irene Parker has beer attend
ing the Southern School OF music
in Augusta, receiving lessons In
voice culture from some OF the
leading instructors in this section
of the country. Recently a recital
was given in which a number of
the pupils participated. The Angus
ia Chronicle III its report of the re-
cital made very complimentary
reference to Miss Irene Parker, the
following being a part of this re-
port:
"The program rendered Thurs
day evening was given by the pu-
pills who study under Samuel L.
Battle and Margaret /. Battle, vo-
cal teachers of the school. The vo'
cal numbers were all of a high or,
der and so varied and beautiful that
it would be hard to determine which
was the most appreciated but the
audience was we'll pleased with the
entire program.
Miss Irene Parker of Edgeheld
attracted unusual interest by her
beautiful work, her voice being a
contralto with unusual tiinore and
range"

CHICAGO, September 22-Criticism
by the board of education of the prac-
tice of children driving to and from
school in automobiles was widely dis
cussed today. The subject came before
the board yesterday during a debate
on a motion to instruct the superin-
tendent of schools to investigate the
large number of petty thefts which
have occurred at various public schools
recently.
. Jacob NJ. Loeb. president of the board,
was especially severe in his criticism
of conditions at Hyde Park High. one
of the most popular high schools on
the South Side
You should see it on a rainy day."
said Mr.. Loeb. AT closing time the
autom obiles are lined up there as if
it were a fashionable reception with
liveried chauffeurs to take the wrist
watch boys home.
The pupils of that school think of
society life only. They live for their
automobiles. their silk stockings, their
parties and balls, for dancing and
pleasure"
What would be your remedy for
those conditions?' asked Edward j.
Piggott. member of the board
Il would like to educate the par
ents,' replied Mr.. Loeb.

-"Tw blanket" weather has arrived

the natives around here say that the

guard units have been on the border
has there been a warm night, and on no
occasion has one of the heavy army
blankets proved to be too much cover
ing.
The District militiamen that are
camped here have learned several
tricks" for keeping warm at night.
Chief of these is the placing of thick
layer of newspapers on their cot under
their bed sack or blanket. This serves
to keep out the dampness and cold
winds, which otherwise make a sleeper

When the men turn out for reveille
these mornings practically all of them
are wearing their 20. D." sweaters.
They have a habit of congregating
about the incinerators, where bright
fire is kept burning. Attendance at the
shower baths in the morning has fallen
off to marked degree. BY about 3
pm. the water IN the pipe lines extend
ing through the camp has become al
most hot
Shows in winter are few and far be-

that falls at night has melted away by
noon the next day. From now on the
District guardsmen will have little use
for their skRilers and ponchos, for the
rainy season is about over. Dry wealth

Low said that under q plan adopted by the trustees white people would raise half of the fund and the negroes of the nation the remainder.
 of life and of both races paid tribute to the memory of Dr. Washington at the service, which was held in Metro politan A. M E. church. Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Secretary Me Adoo of the treasury were prominent in the list of speakers.
 Mr Daniels said he regarded Dr. Washington as the strongest leader the negro race has ever produced and that the people of the nation could well emulate his untiring efforts and his unselfishness. The work done by Washington, MT McAdoo said, had been almost equally beneficial to whites and negroes. A similar tribute was paid by MT. Low who characterized the founder of Tuskegee as a great in- terpreter of the feeling between the white man of the south and the white man of the north and between the ne- groes of the entire country.
