Auction Sale Monday.

Mr.. J. Perry Waddell, who is
now we'll known by our people, an
nounces in a page advertisement
this week that on account of the
unfayorable weather last Monday
he did not sell as many horses and
mules as he should have sold.
For that reason he will hold anoth-
er auction sale at Edgefeld next
Monday, February 70, at the stable
of DR.. B. F. Jones. If you need a
horse or mule this affords you a
good opportunity to supply your
need. In this lot of thirty-odd
head are some of the finest mules
that Mr.. Waddell has shipped to
Edgefeld this season. He guaran-
tees everything he sells to be az
represented.

Survey Of County Completed.

Mr.. E. n. Smith, a capable civil
engineer Of Augusta, and Mr.. S. NJ.
Smith, Edgetield's very capable sur
veyor, have completed a survey of
the county and made their official
report to the county board of COM
missioners yesterday. The result of
the survey, which was very careful
and accurate, shows that Edge6eld
county now has 4Ss 2-l0 square
miles. This shows that the county
was reduced below the constitution
al area of 500 square miles when
Mccormick county was formed and
that no more territory can be cut
from the county. II is believed that
Aiken county claims small strip
of this county, but with this added
to the result obtained by the Messrs
Smith, the area will still be little
less than the constitutional area.
The board acted wisely in having
the survey made and selected capa-
bic engineers to do the work.

Death of Mr.. Charley Ken.
nerly.

Late Sunday afternoon Mr.. James
B. Kennerly received a telegram
announcing the death of bis broth
er, Mr.. Charlie Kennerly, who re-
sided at Cokesbury. He did not
know that his brother had been
sick. Mr.. Kennerly left at once for
Cokesbury. We have not been able
to learn anything further concern
ing the character or duration of
Mr.. Kennerley's illness. He was a
member of the Methodist church.
The announcement caused sorrow
in Edgefeld among the friends of
Charlie Kennerly. He was a ge-
nial, whole-souled young man who
had a host of friends here. He was
born and reared in Edgefeld and
made this his home until he togeth-
er with his father, the late Mr..
John Kennerly, decided TO locate at
Cokesbury about eighteen years
ago. Our esteemed fellowtowns-
man, Mr.. James B. Kennerly, is the
only survinging member of the
family, and to him we extend SIM
cere sympathy in this hour of be-
reayement.

ted by Rev. 4. l.. Gunter, the pas
tor of the Methodist church.
Mr.. Hill had for the past two
months been closing up his business
matters preparatory to going to
Beaufort to make his home with his
eldest son, Mr.. John Is. Hill. The
time for his leaving was near at
hand but he was stricken with
pneumonia while at the home of
Mir. Ben Thomas, where he died.
His children came to him as soon
as he became i'll and he received the
most devoted attention. Mr.. Hill
was in his Gath year at the time of
his death. He was descended from
an old and honored family
of the county and had passed many
years of his life in the community
where he died. He was greatly be-
loved in the Cleora community and
throughout the county.
MIR. Hill is survived by three
sons, John B., Law and Baron Hill,
and two daughters, Misses Margaret
and Berta Hill. To these bereaved
young friends we extend sincerest
sympathy.

Come-to-Sunday School Day.

Spartanburg, Feb. 6.-Tbe plar
for having all Sunday Schools of al
denominations to observe Come-to.
Sunday School Day, February IL,
has met with greater enthusiasm
throughout the State than anything
that has yet been undertaken for
the Sunday School cause of the
State. According to information
from those in authority, the idea is
literally sweeping the State. In
the cities and in the rural sections,
schools of all denominations are
working for a great increase iii at
tendance. Requests for free pro-
grams furnished by the State Asso-
citation, Spartanburg, S. c., have
been so numerous that the Assccia-
tion had to employ extra help to
handle the mail. The regular and
special office force have been busy
day and night for two weeks trying
to supply the demands. All pro-
grams that were first printed were
sent out quickly, and the Associa'
ton arranged with the printers to
keep the form standing so that all
requests can have prompt reply up
to the last minute. More than 49,
900 pieces of printed matter have
gone out in the last few days.
Practically all the large cities of
the State have made some special
arrangement for getting large at,
tendance on that day. Greenville,
Spartanburg, Rock Hill, Columbia,
Greenwood, Charleston and Ander-
son have publicity committees at
work that are putting up posters
aud street banners, distributing in
vitation cards, and endeavoring to
reach the last man, woman and
child on that day. Greenville is
aiming at $4,000, Sparlanbu!g, TO-
900, Greenwood, $500, and other
sites are working for a definite
number. Among the many large
Sunday Schools that are aiming to
shavsoat sleast l. COCOON Fcbruarsy1l,
are the First Baptist of Greenville,
Central Methodist Of Spartanburg,
First Baptist Of Anderson, and the
First Baptist of Columbia. a very
large number are aiming at 750 and
500. The enthusiasm for the day
is so great practically everywhere
that the attendance on February IL
is expected to be the greatest ever
recorded in the Sunday Schools on
any single day in the history Of the
State.

Mrs. Hart Entertains w. c. 7. u.

Monday afternoon was one Of the
coldest days of all the year, and for
those who ventured out that after
noon to the meeting it took an
unusual amount of courage. But
the warmth of the subject and the
enthusiasm of those who went and
the bright, cheerful fire prepared by
the hostess made the cold weather
only secondary consideration.
Mrs. J. L. Hart was hostess for
this meeting, she and Mrs. McMur-
rian having exchanged places Oh ac-
count Of the advent of measles in
the McMurrain home.
The subject of the meeting was

the scope of this particular phase of
the work, and Mrs. w. E. Lott read
a message from Mrs. Ella Hoover
Thachcr, national superintendent
of the department, and also read
the anti-canteen law which forbids
the keeping of intoxicants at any
of the army posts, naval stations or
other government reservations.
Miss Ruth Tomkins recited beau
,tifully, The Flag Goes By" Mrs.
Rainsford read The White Ribbon

MINOR LEAGuERS
FlNO IT HARD TO
GET PAYING CITIES

Each year seems to bring more and
greater difficulties for the minor
league magnates to combat, and the
very existence Of professional base
ball seems threatened in all but the
larger cities. The class AA circuits
may look forward to prosperous
season, although the International is
not yet fully recovered from the raw
ages Of the Federal League war. The
Southern League is strongly intrench-
ed, but, the Western has had many
vicfssitudes and changes in the last
few years, and the attendance last
season was very small for a class A
league, Omaha, Lincoln and Wichita
being the only cities to attract more
than $4,000 customers.
Nearly all Of the class B leagues
have had more or less difficulty in lin
Ing up their circuits. Many of the
cities now without professional ball, or
forced to be content with class B
teams, once doomed large on the base
ball map.
Troy, home of the famous old Hay
town, is now without representation in
organized ball, and SO is the neigh
boring city of Albany. Syracuse is
now in class b company, although at
one time in the MAJORS, and the. class
B Ea stern League also has in Hart
ford and Worcester two former Ma
tional League cities. Jersey City is
now the largest city without league
club, but scores of other big towns
which once supported league teams
are now beyond the pale.

MACON WILL HAVE
BASEBALL HOLIDAY

Macon, Ca, March 26.-The Yam
KEGS, probably the last of the big lea
que teams to come to grips with out
side opposition this spring got down
to real business today when they en-
gagged. the Boston National League
club. In the development Of team
play the Yankees have not done much
this spring, but a lot of advancement
can be made in that respect between
now and the opening of the season,
and especially against teams of the
quality of the Braves and the Brook
lyns, whom the Yankees are to meet.
In rudiments the New Workers have
been well drilled, though they missed
several days last week. Their bat
ting has been very variable, but in
the series with the Braves they are
not likely to face any better pitching
tran they have faced with their own
men on the mound. With the good
condition of William Donovan's pit
cheers the Yankees ought to be fully
as well off as the Braves in prepara-
ton, except possibly in team or or
ganization plays, to use the high
sounding phraseology Of George Stall
lings.
The Mayor of Macon has declared
a half holiday fer the battle, which is
the last day here for the Yankees.
i hey will take to the byways then for
tour lasting mil April I. on which
day they reach New York.
