Bishop Guerry Coming.

Next Sunday morning at Trenton
at IL o'clock, and Sunday night at
EdgeGeld in the Episcopal ch urch.
The Bishop is too well known in
Edgefeld to require more than a
simple announcement of appoint
ment to have large audience. On
Sunday night moreover it will be
a united service of all the churches,
and all will be cordially welcome.
The hour is 1880. The bishop will
meet with the church officers after
each service for a conference.

Concerning Report of Board of
Charities and Corrections.

''The greatest need of our county
institutions is deepened interest,
intellect, aggressive, sympathetic,
on the part of the local public" the
State Board of Charities and Cor
rections asserts in regard to jails,
chaingangs and almshouses in it's
first annual report to the general
assembly.
The institution officials need SYM
pathetic help, the report continues,
and many of them wise guidance.
Captiops criticism may effect spas
modic Improvements, but intellect,
continued cooperation will yield
more. These officials are at fault a
good many times; they get into ruts,
they neglect, they become hardened.
and they need the spur that comes
from public inquiry.
In its report the board sounds q
warning lest the interest taken by
the public in jails,, chaingangs and
almshouses become more sentiment
al unproductive sympathy for the
prisoners, convicts, or paupers. The
board declares that sympathy for
these classes has it's place as long as
society permits the existence of
conditions of which they are 80
largely the product; but unless this
sympathy leads to constructive, ag-
gressive steps to better conditions
under which the prisoners, convicts
and paupers live, its very useless
ness condemns it.
1t is one of the primary functions
of the local committee of visitors
that the board is appointing in ecch.
councy to awaken public interest In
the county penal and charitable In
stitutions be visiting themselves and
taking others to visit them. The
members of the local committee of
visitors in Edgefeld county will be
named soon.

Newsy Letter From Edgefield
Graded and High Schools.

/ am sure no one enjoyed tne
Christmas holidays more than the
school children and the only sorrow
was the thought of school opening
again on the third. Now that we
are back at work, let US go to it
with a will, always accompanied by
a smile, even if school does last un-
til the fourth of June.
On Friday night, January Z,
1915, Miss Helen Dorm entertained
the senior class of which she is a
member, very royalty. The spacious
hall and parlor were artistically
decorated in pink and green, the
class colors; and. although the
weather was very unpleasant outside
the guests forgot about it in their
excessive enjoyment. The amuse-
ment for time consisted in a con-

prize which was spoon fell to
Harrison Parks. After this several
very amusing games were played,
and then the hostess ushered the
guests into the dining room, a per-
feet labyrinth OF flowers, where a
most delicious salad course and
sweet course was served. When we
speak of senior, we think of a
person who is too dignifed to
laugh, but l can assure you that
these seniors laid aside their digni.
ty, gave vent to their feelings and
enjoyed themselves as much as a
set of rats would have done.
All the teachers of the graded
and high school are delighted to
see the interest which the students
are taking in set of new encyclo-
pedias purchased by Mr.. Lyon. This
is very valuable set of books and
the improvement in the students
from the use of them can readily
be detected.

Bond Issue Practically Wasted.

county issued 100000 worth of
bonds and with the money built
system of roads which were ac-
claimed among the best in the state.
Yet the Marion Star reports that
these highways are being ruined
from pure neglect. That is the troub.

is no use to spend money building
roads unless some systematic plan
is devised for keeping them in con-

ADDRESSED TO THE SOLDIERS.

In another column of today's paper there Il
published communication from Secretary
Brown of the Chamber of Commerce, addressed
TO the men of the army at Schofeld Barrack,
and Cashier. Residents of Honolulu, as Mr.
Brown says, for long time have been asking
what can be done for the soldier that will make
life i'm Hawaii more attractive and allow sol
der and civilian to meet each other more in,
formally and get to know each other better
Two fairly definite plans are now presented
one for building for the soldiers in Honolulu
4he other for a similar. clubhouse in the Scho-
field and Cashier boundaries. Both PROPOSE
tions are presented more fully in Secretary
Browns communication.
Attached to this is a blank upon which the
soldiers are asked to express their own prefer
ence 1t is hoped that the response will be
large enough to be considered fairly as repre-
sentative Of opinion among the men of Uncle
Sam big post Long ago Honolulu found that
one Of the main difficulties in solving the ques-
ton Of 'sWhat can we do for the soldier!'' was
in finding out what broad plan would appeal

of views, facilities for which are provided in

Commerce and thereby assist the people of

DEFENDING THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Detailed facts set forth by officers OF the
National Guard of many years service and OF
unquestionable standing in the community fur
nish the only necessary commentary upon
Lieut. w. G. Whteners charges of politics in
the guard under the administration Of Col.
Jones.
The affidavits made by number of officers
relate particularly to the period during which
Lieut.. Whichever was inspector instructor of
the guard and previous to the appointment of
Col johnson as adiutant general. They de.
clare emphatically that there was nospolitics
in the guard at that time and in substantiation
point to this significant fact s &
After Col Johnson took office, the very
officers to whom the. WhIeaercharges appear
to refer were retained and are still retained.
And this further fact: .'',"'.--~' "ss..--...
Though Lieut. Wiiitener casts serious doubt
on the ability OF Hawaiian officers, not only
were the Hawaiian officers RETAINED in the
guard but he recommended at least five of
them as suitable for the rank of major or cap
tain of infantry in ease of war.
That many officers have read the Whitener
report and are taking steps to refute its charges
opens the way TO a possible National Guard
controversy in the present territorial military
organization. Such controversy would be
deplorable and the officers in question have no
such intention. But they do not expect to re-
main 1uiescent when the organization With
which they have served many Years is 9crfti-
cised SO prolificy as in the report by Lieut..
Whitener. ss.s t.

NAMING REPUBLICAN DELEGATES.

Republican leaders who maintain, that Hawaii
is entitled to six delegates in the natiplalz rnf
yention at Chicago next June, and that the
G. O. P. should make fight to seat this num-

their side.s

teeman with the material to fight for their seats

party, saying that Alaska and the District of
Columbia have retained their six delegates, as

cations Hawaii was not represented at that
time and Hawaii suffered the usuaI fate of

But there is plenty of definite encourage
ment from the men high in national party ranks
for Hawaii to make winning fight at Chicago
Some provision should be made, of course, for
a voting delegation of two in case the six seats
are denied, but a vigorous fight will probably
be successful and at any rate will show that
the territory does not propose to be placed in
the category of possession.
