Miss Wylie Retires.

That Miss Juanita Wylie has decided
to retire from active newspaper work
has caused profound regret throughout
the State. For the pastfive years she
has edited the Lancaster News with
decided ability, making of it one of the
leading weekly papers of the State. In
deed she is capable of filling larger
place and would now be IN a larger
field had she yielded to the solicitations
of one or more daily papers in the
larger cities. Her love and loyalty for
Lancaster caused her to decline all Of
fers that would probably have allured
Others less loyal. The owners of The
News will find some one to fill Miss
Wylie's place but they will not find
one more capable, more loyal or more
faithful than she has been. The News
hereafter will not be the same.

Another Lyceum Course.

The committee of citizens who made
possible the lyceum course just closed
have signed another contract for
course next fall and winter. In or
der to secure these high class attrac-
tions FOR Edgefield, these gentlemen
had to obligate to pay several hundred
dollars. This risk was assumed with
out the hope or expectation of realizing
on penny OUT OF the enterprise for
themselves, being actuated purely by
public spirited motives.
Now when the tickets are offered for
sale the people of the community should
purchase them without a murmur. The
attractions are among the best that
are offered by the lyceum bureaus and
the tickets are sold at cost. Indeed
tae managers consider themselves for
mate when the sum realized from the
sale of tickets is sufficient to pay for
the attractions. The larger the pat
ronage from season to season, the bet
ter the lyceum course can be made by
increasing the number of entertain
ments to be given during season.
Let our people stand by this committee
OF public spirited men.

DR.. Prescott at Home.

% DR.. w. E. Prescott returned to
his home Friday night from Angus
ia. He came to Edgetield on the
late tram and went at once out to
his home in an automobile. He has
grown stronger since the last opera
uion and it is the universal hope
that he will steadily improve. He
stood the fatigue of the trip by rail
and by auto Friday splendidly. Hav.
ing never dissipated in any manner
during his past life, Dr. Prescott
has strong constitution which is
standing him in good stead at this
crucial period. Young men of to-day
who are laying up no reserve force
but burning life's taper at both
ends, as it we're. should take warn
ing. 1t may be that at some futme
time they too will need all of the
reserve force and strength that can
be mustered.

County-to-County Campaign.

The biennial discussion of the coun-
ty-to-county campaign is now on.
Every two years, just before the State
convention is held, this question is
very generally discussed, and always
without results. AS much as The
Advertiser would like to see the pres
ent system of campaigning abolished,
it is of the opinion that many years
will come and go before change is
made. The demagogic office seeker
would lose tremendously were the
present system discontinued, and be-
cause of the resulting loss politicians
of this type will keep alive senti-
ment in favor Of public meetings In all
of the forty-odd counties.
About all that has been accomplished
in recent years by these many meet
inqs has been the arousing of preju-
dice and the stirring up of strife world
without end. Would that we had the
power to strike out once and for all
time the present method of campaign
in South Carolina!

Resolutions by U. D. c. OF
Death of Miss Mamie Lake.

The passing away from our mlds'
INTO the great aid glorious be&one
of tins bright and happy christian
woman has filled our chapter with
the deepest sorrow. We therefore
extend to her be,eaved relatives anC
numberless friends our heartfelt
sympathy.
Though acquainted with many
sorrows in the loss of those nearest
and dearest to her, Miss Mamie
Lakes name will always he a
synonym of 'joyousness.
Full of kind feelings toward all
she met and looking only for the
good in her fellowman, she usually
found it. Though small in stature,
she was big enough in character. to
look at life from the other PERSONS
view point, as we'll as her own.
None of her thoughts or ideas were
narrow or selfish, hence she counted
her friends by the score. Surely
a life SO rich in the JOY of living
though it has passed from the walks
of earth, must live alwahs in that
world, where joy and happiness
forever reign.
Bright spirit farewell, we will
put your dear memory away In our
hearts and leave thee in the compa-
ny of all the hosts of Heaven.
Sometimes when all life's lessons
have been learned, and Sun and
Stars forevmore have set, the
things DER which we gri-ved with
lashes wet, will flash before us out
Of life's dark night, as stars shine
most in deeper tints of blue. and we
shall see how all Gods plans are
right, and that which now seems
dark, was love most true
Therefore be it resolved,
l,t, That in her death, the Edge
field Chapter U. D. G. has lost one
of the best members.
2nd, That in her loss. we bow
in humble submission to the will Of
our Heavenly Father.
3rd, That copy of these resolu-
tions be published in the county pa
pers and also spread on our minute
books.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. E. Pendleton Jones, Chr.

Columbia Votes School Levy.

By voting an extra levy of five mills
for school purposes, Columbia has sci
commendable example to other cities,
Gown and rural communities. This levy
will raise something like $65, 900 an
nualy for education. While it ap-
pears that this is an extra tax, due
rorim 4rily to the closing of the dispen-
saries in Richland county, yet when
the amount that is saved to the people
through the closing of the liquor shops
is taken into consideration the balance
will be on the profit side of the ledger
at the close of the year.
re removal of temptation from the
wage Garner will enable him to save
tie .llold more than the extra tax levied.
Tne increased business of the mer-
chant will mean proportionately in
creased profits. The enlarged deposit
count of the banks will enable them
to earn more in dividends than the
extra levy, and so on all down the
line.
Unfortunately, it can be determined
just what increase in taxes resulted
from wiping out the whiskey business,
while the increase in efficiency of labor
and the increase in business can not
be determined. However, we believe
the benefits derived from prohibition
will ultimately be so great that even
the prejudiced man will admit that 1t
pays in dollars and cents, which is the
least of the benefits derived.
Again we say Columbia has set a
good example by providing generously
for her schools.
