the interest in the union was good.
The congregation on Sunday was large,

The Mt. Zion people have quite neat
house of worship now. Bro. P. B
Lanham, their pastor, has led thi
band of Christians for. 16 years. Rev.
Gaines the new pastor at Trenton was
present at tho union. Mr.. Gaines is
quite an addition to our union and asso

Mrs. Quarles was great sufferer for
the last 20 years of her life, she was

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Union Meeting at Mt. Zion.
George Swearingen" Road
Fine. New Automobiles
Purchased.

We attended the Union meeting
Sunday at Mt. Zion, although the
day was very gloomy and rain was
threatening with an occasional
sprinkle. With east wind, we made
the trip of about IA or Is miles
without getting wet. The pretty
new church was pretty we'll filled,
and we had a fine sermon in the
morning from DR.. J. T. LittleJohn,
after which an hour for dinner.
Every one enjoyed the splendid re-
past, also the social chats and meet
ing those we did not already know.
The time soon came for the after
noon sermon which we enjoyed
very much, by Mr.. joe Gaines. pas
tor of Ebenezer. Should we be
ashamed to say it? No, for we do
love little babies so. that the dear
little babv of Mr.. and Mrs. Gaines
drew our attention more than the
sermon for awhile.
We travelled over a part of the
noted George SweariLgen" road
and it was fine. We wish we had
some of Mr.. George Swearingen's
over on the old Martintown road
that would be public spirited enough
and get move on all those who
travel it, to work. Clay the sand
and sand tho clay, grade the
hills and straighten the many crooks
and corners, so this would be anoth-
er pike" and then there would be
lots more travel. As it is, the wea-
ther has been grand all the fall, the
autos spin by day and night, and
Just lots of new ones have been
bought in Augusta and gone up by

News From the Edgefield
Schools,

Last week, Mr.. Lyon received a
letter from Mr.. Swearingen, and in
the letter was some work for the
American History classes to do.
Some of the questions were: Find
the No. of enrolled voters from 81
to 80 years of age and the No. of
these voters making their mark in
Edgefeld county? The same ques.
tions were asked for those from 80
to 80, from 40 to 40, from so to So,
and from 60 on up. The work was
done by the pupils, and out of 439
voters between 81 and 80, 90 could
not write their names. There were
273 above 40 and A of those made
their mark. We found that the
percentage of white illiteracy among
Democratic voters in EdgeGeld
county, as shown by the 1916 rolls
was 1l.4. This shows what large
amount of ignorance we have right
at our door, but it also proves that
the young people of today are TAX
ing more interest and getting bet
ter education than those of yester-
day.
We were delighted to have Mr..
A. S. Tompkins and Mr.. McManus
visit US on last Wednesday morn-
ing. Mr.. McManus conducted the
Chapel exercises, and Mr.. Tomp-
kins made talk which put every
body in good humor. The only
trouble was that they did not stay
long enough.
DR.. Jeffries came to see Us Fri
day morning, and we enjoyed has
talk to the utmost. 1t seemed like
''old times" to have him with us
once more.

Chappel, spent Thursday, Friday

ginia will join the sisterhood of pro-
hibition States on November l,
when the Mapp act, prohibiting the
sale of ardent spirits except by
bonded drug stores, and throwing
stringent restrictions around its
shipment, will become effective.
About $50 liquor dealers will close
their doors. They have been pre-
pairing to close for several weeks
and stocks are being disposed of
rapidly. Liquors valued at hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been purchased by consumers and
stored up against the dry" days to
come.
1t will be unlawful after Novem-
Der for any person in the State to
manufacture, transport, sell, adver-
tise, give away, dispense or solicit
orders for ardent spirits, which are
defined to embrace alcohol, brandy,
whiskey, rum, gin, wine, porter,
ale, beer, all malt liquors, absinthe,
and all compounds of any of these
with vegetables or other substances.
In the same category are placed
fruits preserved in ardent spirits,
all beverages containing more than
one-half Of one per cent. alcohol by

The prohibition law doesn't apply
to cider containing not more than l

One of the handsomest buildings
on the Cornell campus is Roberts
Hall, the main building of the Col
lege for agriculture making. This
enables them to have splendid fare.
They get things fresh from these
gardens, and also have dairies and
poultry yards combined with the
invigorating air.
The hospital, though so wonder,
fully equipped, is more ornamental
than useful. One of the most i'm
portant features of Cornells lota-
ton is the health giving qualities
which give the student strength to
crafty his intellectual ambition.
Provisions are made for exercise.
for they have the most attractive
tennis courts, etc., for outdoor
amusements. This is thoroughly
illustrated with moving pictures
and a wonderful lecture on Corn
ell life. These pictures are copies
of the buildings and photographs
of the students and faculty of Corn
ell having races, football games,
golf, tennis, etc., awarding of the
cup to the winners which convlnces
you that they regard exercise and
diversion important, and innocent
amusement necessary to place the
student in position to reap the best
benefit of the wonderful opportuni-
ties placed within his grasp. No
doubt, Ezra Cornell, the founder
of Cornwell University, had this in
mind when he invested on this site.
The campus crosses the hill in the
center. An arch of magnificent elms
over the main approach to the quad
rangle, and the avenue is beautiful
