Field Day a Great success.

In spite Of the unfavorable weather,
the second annual Field Day was a
pronounced success. A detailed report
giving the list of prize winners will be
found elsewhere in this issue, written
by Prof Copenhaver.
The Advertiser congratulates all who
had any part in making the day sue
cess upon their splendid achievement.
And we commend the spirit Of co-ope-
ration that was manifested by teach
ers, trustees, patrons and pupils
throughout the county. Many schools
came as far as l2 and Is miles with
every pupil present. Such record is
something of which one should fee
proud, and we are confident that Su-
oerintendent Of Education Fuller has
been greatly encouraged in his work by
the faithfulness and loyalty OF the ed
ucational forces throughout the coun-
ty. The splendid response is also large
" the result OF his work of the past.
He keeps in c!Cse touch with trustees,
inspiring and encouraging them in
every way possible.
The people of the town of EdGefie!d
were honored by having so many rep
resentat;ve people from all parts of
the county as their guests. We, tine
people OF Edgeiield, hope that at sorae
future time we shall have the pleasure
of acting as host again when the sun
beams brightly, instead of having low
ering clouds frown upon the occasion.
However, in spite of the inclement
weather, we bslieve everybody enjoyed
the day and were glad that they came.
Certainly the people of Edgetield-all
of our people-were glad that so many
we're present.
Let not year pass hereafter with
out Field Day for the schools of
Edgefield county. The coming together
of the people from all parts of the
county, especially under such whole
some and helpful influences, can not be
otherwise than productive of great and
lasting good.

Buried by Lantern Liaht.

BY the light Of lanterns the body OF
Annie NJ. Scott OF PhoenixYilie was
inferred at Grove Methodist Episcopal
cemetery, West WEitc.and, after q
trip of ten miles, which had consumed
two days.
By night the procession had reached
K;lnberton, five miles from the start
ing point, where the trip was aban-
doned and resumed in the morning,
but it required until late the second
evening to reach the cemetery, the
read leading for the main part through
fields because heavy snowdrifts closed
the highways.-West Chester, Pa, Dis

system. 1t is far better for the con-
sumer to purchase outright such arti-
cles as are given for premiums. In
the end it will pay them.
Away with the deceptive practice OF
giving patrons something for nothing.
Bear in mind that you never get some
thing for nothing. You pay for it il one
form or another. That's what the
patrons of merchants giving trading
stamps have been doing without tnelr
knowledge. Let the practice be stop
ped forever.

Citade! Grows in Efficiency.

There is no institution OF learning in
South Carolina that stands higher tnan
the Citadel. The masses of the peo-
nile appreciate as never before the
splendid work that it is doing in equip
ping young men for the duties OF cltl-
zenship. 1t is very gratifying too to
the friends of the Citadel that the
prestige of the institution grows with
the passing years. Its fame has gone
abroad in the land.
The army officer made his annual
visit to the Citadel cadets last week,
and after completing most thorough
inspection he had only words OF the
highest praise. This particular officer
has been detailed for this special duty
for four consecutive years and he sta
ted a few days ago that the Citadel is
doing even better work than it did last
year, ranking very close to West Point
IN actual efficiency. 1t all the more
deserves the name of "West Point of
the South The inspecting officer
stated that he is in favor of the bill
that is now before congress providing
for the commissioning of 10 members
of the graduating class of the Citadel as
sieutenants in the regular army without
examination, instead of only two as at

The King and the Peasant.

A lot of good space, time, ink and
sympathy is being wasted on old King
Peter Of Serbia, in telling what a sad
thing it is for him to be a king with
out a kingdom, of how he was lifted
tenderly from his horse, of how he was
taken to Italy and is to live in q
palace in that country until the time
comes when he may return to his own
land.
And while all this is being written
the Serbian people, the peasants who
have been tramping barefooted along
frozen roads,, whose homes have been
destroyed and whose loved ones have,
in many cases, been killed in battle,
are forgotten.-Savannah News.
