programme of the afternoon by tell
ing at some length of our aims for
the year.
A profitable feature of the morn
ing exercise was the answering of
questions nsconcerning different phases
of Sunday school work by MIR.

cal questions were asked, each one
presenting some difficulty with
which teacher or superintendent

them the benefit of his experience
and observation.
The hospitality of the good peo-
pie of the Philippi section knows
no bounds. Probably the largest
number of persons ever assembled
at Philippi were present Sunday,
and yet dinner was not only served
in great abundance for all-the very
best of everything the land at
fords-but it was served without
the least confusion. The Philippl
people know how to do things right.
Everybody went to their home Sun

their good fortune to be present.

PADGETT-CLEVELAND.
Very Beautiful Wedding at Bap-
tist Church. Followed by
Reception at Home of
Brides Parents.

A church wedding, preceded by
luncheons, teas and dances, and fol-
lowed by reception, reminds one
of continued love story in a mag
azine. The old maxim, all the
world loves a lover" must be true,
at least of Edgefeld, for on We'd
nesday evening the First Baptist
church was crowded with the youth,
and the older youths of EdgeGeld,
to witness the marriage of Miss
Natalie Padgett to Mr.. Norwood
Cleveland of Greenville.
1t really does every one good to
witness a lovely scene and to hear
an impressive and sacred ceremony.
As We entered the church, it seemed
to be lit by a mellow radiance.
The decorations consisted of gar
lands of white roses draped from
the chandeliers. each individual
globe forming white rose. Lighted
candles, without which no wedding
is complete, formed a part of the
decorations and light. The beauty
of the place. and the music of the
orchestra and pipe organ cast sort
of spell over the place, or perhaps
we need not look for the reason of
the spell, when two lovers are kneel-
ing for blessing. The color
usually SO dominant in weddings was
absent, but how can color compare
with the purity Of whiteness? The
bridesmaids bouquets, however, were
of deep rosy red, loves proper hue"
One felt that in such an atmosphere.
the white roses, had they been real,
would never have withered, but
thrived. The groomsmen wore full

were charming in white taffeta with
sprays of pink roses.

Sunbeam Mission Study Class.

Friday afternoon all of the little
sunbeam band gathered together on
the beautiful sloping lawn adjoin-
ing the home of Mrs. Curran Felt
ham, who entertained the Mission
Study class of the sunbeams. Chairs
were placed about for the older peo-
pie who came, and the children were
grouped on the lawn awaiting the
program cf the afternoon. Each
child was asked to repeat Bible
verse, and afterwards prayer was
offered.
The mission study book is called
Around the World with Jack and
JANET and the children studied
about two other little children who
we're travelling around the world,
and the wonders and the strange
people that they saw.
Mrs. J. L. Minis told the story of
the part of the trip around the
world from Egypt to the Red Sea,
then the story was taken up by
others, and the children visited, in
their Imagination, the wonderful
island of Ceylon, and the ancient
land of India.
Miss Norma Shanuonhouse was
dressed in the costume of an Egyp-
tian princess, wearing beads brought
from Egypt. As the story pro-
gressed to Egypt, Norma stood up
that the children could see her and
know how the Egyptian people
dress.
Another little girl, Juanita High
tower, was dressed in the costume
of native girl of Ceylon, while
still another guest wore the cos
tune of a Mohammedon woman.
After the meeting was closed the
children played games and enjoyed
themselves on the grass until they
were invited to partake of refresh
ing lemonade and cake. Everybody
who has ever been a member of a
mission study class knows what a
good time they must have had.

.PHILIPPI CONVENTION.
Inter-Denomina tion al Sunday
School Convention Held Sat-
urday and Sunday at
Philippi.

The editor of The Advertiser at.
tended the Edgefeld County Inter
Denominational Sunday school con
vention at Philippi church on Sun
day. We regret that pressing bus
mess prevented our attending Sat,
urday, which we have been inform
ed was very profitable day.
Soon after the convention con
vened Saturday morning the follow
ing officers were elected to serve for
the ensuing year:
George w. Scott, president; An
drew G. Yonce, vice-president; G
F.Long, secretary and treasurer;
Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman, elementary
superintendent; G. M. Mellichamp,
intermediate superintendent; Mr..
Simmons of Johnston, adult super,
intendent. Mr.. Scott made a splen-
did presiding officer, and Prof. Long
served as clerk with characteristic
efficiency.
Those who were present on Sat,
urday have spoken in very compll,
mentary terms of the excellent ad-
dresses and of the splendid hospi'
tality of the good people of Phil
ippi. Personally the writer knows
nothing of the two sessions on Sat
urday, but we can speak of the
pleasure and prof. derived from the
Sunday programme.
In the forenoon two Sunday
school specialists employed by the
State organization, Miss Agnes Raw
enel and Mr.: R. D. Webb, spoke.
The former selected as her theme
Building Up a Sunday School

Mr.. Webb spoke for nearly an hour

Patriotic Meeting of w. C. T. u.

Mrs. W. H. Dorm was hostess on
Monday afternoon at the regular
meeting of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
In face of great cloud the loyal
members of this organization came,
filling the parlor and hall, and hap.
py in the opportunity for a reunion
after a months separation.
The programme was of patlotic
nature, and the parlor was decora-
ted with our country's flags, and
with posters appropriate to the day.
One especially pretty one was the
picture Of United States flag un-
der which was printed in bright
colors, the words, Rally around
the flag, against our country's great
est foe and fight for Saloonless
Nation and Stainless Flag" An
other was the picture of a boys
head on which was printed, The
country that does Dot protect the
children is doomed" What are the
foes from which they should be pro-
tected? Alcohol and the cigarette!
The debate or the subject, Re
solved that it Is nobler to live than
to die for ones country" was the
most conspicuous feature of the
programme. The affirmative side
won, presented by Mrs. T. H. Rains
ford and Mrs. NJ. P. Wells. The
negative eide was very convincingly
presented by Mrs. ]. w. Peak and
Miss Jennie Pattison. Mrs. NJ. T.
Wells received the largest number
of votes for the presentation of the
affirmative side, the conclusion be-
ing reached by ballot.
Mrs. w. B. Cogburn was IN
charge of the devotions. A pleas
ant part of the exercise was a song
by William Jones, Dozier Tompkins,
Corrie Cheatham, Janette Ilmmons
and Eleanor Minis, and later solo,
John Barley Corn Goodbye" by
William Jones. Miss Columbia In
the person of Miss Ruth Lyon was
present to enliven the scene and
make the anniversary of our coun-
---y's birthday of s-"Aanra-more real.

The little flower girls were June

graceful little ring bearer was Jer-

For the audience the spell at least
must break, though only to be re-
newed at the delightful reception at
the brides home, after the cere-
monv.
The guests were greeted at the
door by Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Pad
gett and invited to partake of the
delightful punch, served by Misses
Kathryn Minis, Margaret May,
Grace Tompkins and June Rains
ford.
Here the orchestra was awaiting
US, and we had the privilege of con-
graduating the happy bride and
groom and to meet the bridal party.
In the library there was an array of
exquisite presents, consisting of sill
yer, hand-painted china and cut
glass. 1t seemed that the choicest
of Tiffany and the master pieces of
the artists had been sought for and
found and brought for the bride.
Hand painted souvenirs were
given the guests, while the bridal
party was honored with souvenirs
of lovely miniature slippers. The
BRIDES table was lovely in the pink
decorations of roses.
The decorations in the parlor
were very artistic, where a lovely
arch of white roses, each lit with an
electric light, was guarded from
above by beautiful white and gold
butterfly. Or the mantel was a
