MT. ZION NEWS.
Marriage of Miss Mamie Cheat
ham and Mr.. w. r. Tim
merman. Death of MRS.
Mary H. Watson.

Owing to various circumstances,
among them the rainy weather, the
intense cold, and the divided neigh
borbood, over two Sunday schools,
the circulation of news has been al
most stagnsted in our midst this
winter. In truth very little of pub
lie interest has happened, and
chronicle of bad colds and the pro-
fuse use of pocket handkerchiefs
would have given little that was
edifying to any one.
Recently however one event has
happened, which I think has failed
to reach your paper. That was
the marriage of our teacher, Miss
Mamie Cheatham to Mr.. w. 4.
Zimmerman. A week or more ago,
accompanied by friends, they mo-
tored to Augusta, where the happy
knot was tied. Now the bachelor
home is graced by a CHEEKY little
house-keeper who, by means of
horse and buggy, still reaches her
school each day. Such thrift is to
be commended, especially in times
like this.
On Friday the 23rd inst, at the
home place of Mr.. W. J. Gaines,
Mrs. Mary H. Watson departed this
life. Mrs. Watson was stricken with
paralysis last fall, and had been
most of the time since confined to
bed. She was in the eth year of
her age. Before her marriage, she
was Miss Grice, sister of Mr.. Da-
vid Grice, for so long resident of
Edgefeld.
She leaves one son, Mr.. T. G.
Watson. The interment was held on
Sunday in Langley, where most of
her married life had been spent.
Mrs. Watson was woman of bright
mind, and had been remarkable for
her industry and good manage
ment. She was a devoted mother B
ssand had given he rlife IN ardIous
service for those she loved.
Mr.. W. J. Gaines has been for
several weeks quite sick with grip.
He is somewhat improved, but is
still in an enfeebled condition. 1t ID
to be regretted that his son. w. j.
Gaines, Jr., has had to be temporsri-
ly ystopped from school on account OF.
his fathers sickness.
The families of Mr.. W. A. Par
due and Mr.. J. w. Pritchard have
recently had considerable sickness.
Mr.. w. A. Pardue is now doing
his travelling in an elegant Over
land car,

Death of Mrs. r. S. Anderson.

The entire community has been
greatly depressed over the sudden
death of Mrs. r. S. Anderson which
occurred about five O'Clock Sunday
morning at her home on Columbia
street. Mrs. G. A. Griffin who oc.
cupies room upstairs heard her
mother calling from her room down
stairs and went Immediately to her,
finding her up near the door of the
room but almost in state of col
lapse. She assisted her mother to
the bed and summoned physician
at once, but before the physician
could reach her Mrs. Anderson
breathed her last. Her sudden
death was serious shock to her
loved ones, as she was in her usual
state of health and very cheerful
when she retired to her room in the
e.rly part of the night. There
seems to be no question that the
Immediate cause of her death was
heart failure.
Before her marriage Mrs Ander-
son was Miss Agnes McCorkle,
descendant Of an honored Abbeville
family, she having been reared and
passed the early years of her life
near Due West. At the time of her
death Mrs. Anderson was in the 10th
year of her age. AS her strength
has been failing for several years
this good woman mingled but little
with the people of the community.
She was devoted to her home and
home life, her chief joy being the
promotion of the happiness of the
members of the home circle. Mrs.
Anderson was a member of the
Presbyterian church and possessed
many noble qualities which made
her life a benediction to those with
whom she came in contact. She is
survived by her husband and one
daughter, Mrs. Charles A. Griffin.
Tho funeral was conducted at 4
O'Clock Monday afternoon at the
home, the Rev. E. G. Bailey and
the Rev. r. G.. Shannonhouse con
Quoting the services. Her body was
laid to rest in tn g family square in
the cemetery beside the grave oi
her only son.

Two New u. D. c. Chapters
Formed in Edgefield.

Edgefeld has right to be prouG
of her two new organizations, az
they have honored Edgefeld in the
names they have given themselves
The young ladies who had be
come too old to be longer members
of an auxiliary chapter, met on Sat
urday and formed themselves into
chapter of the Daughters of Con

Hortense Woodson.
The Dixie Auxiliary has been a
working organization since its
founding, under the presidency of
Mrs. J. D. Holstein of the Mother
Chapter. They have placed the
handsome iron St. Andrews crosses
at the graves of the soldiers in our
cemetery, and accomplished other
notable things, among them being
the sending of crate of hens to the
Veterans Home in Columbia last
winter.
The young ladies are asking all
of the girls in Edgefeld, from four
teen to eighteen, to come forward
and fill up the places in the Dixie
Auxiliary made vacant by their hav-
ing to leave it's ranks.
At Mrs. .Woodson's on Saturday
afternoon the children met to form
a children's chapter. Almost with
out hesitation, and with acclama-
tion, they called themselves the
Bald Eagle of Edge6eld.
Their officers are: President, Mae
Rives; first vice-president, Eleanor
Minis; second vice-president, Isabel
Byrd; secretary, Edwin Rives; treas
urer, Elizabeth Lott; historian,
Gladys Lawton. For the present
Mrs. Woodson will act as their
leader. ,asss.
Miss Mary Evans has extended
an invitation to them to hold their
first meeting with her in the home
in whichEthe great cavalry-general,
for whom they named their chapter,
lived and died. There they will
see the picture of General Gary, and
learn much about him.
The chapter will send as dele
gates to the meeting of the Mother
Chapter Winks Bailey and John
Curran Feltham to report their or.
ganization, and TO ask for ratifca-
tion Of their actions.
The next meeting will be on Sat.
urday week.

BEET CROWfRSLAST DRAFTED
AGAIN RCFD TOMEN TO LEAVE.
INCREASE CROPON WEDNESDAY,
Federal Food Administrator
Rsnews Request to Cut
Down Consumption of
Sugar Shortage Exists.
Cuban Product Will Not
Reach United States Until
First of Next Year-Cur-
tailment Now Means Sup
ply During 1918.

Idaho's food administrator again has
had his attention called by Herbert
Hoover to the existing sugar situation
and to the acute sugar shortage that
prevails in many sections of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Bicknell again appeals to all
farmers in beet growing sections of the
state to maintain, and If possible, in
crease the acreage devoted to this crop
in 1918. He also appeals to all con
suu,ers to be most circumspect in the
use of sugar.
He stresses the fact that the short
age will probably be relieved by the
advent of the new Cuban sugars,
which should reach the American mar
ket hv the first OF next year. In the
meanwhile, he explains. however, con-
sumption demands must be met by the
small stocks of cane sugars remaining
from last seasons crop and domestic
beet and cane sugars. ehich are now
being manufactured and distributed.
\ careful analysis of the situation
indicates the possibility of similar
conditions prevailing at this time next
year. aud It is in the hope of reliev-
Ing prospective shortage at that
time that Mr.. Hoover makes his ap-
peal for an increase in the 1918 pro
durtion Of domestic beet sugar
Mr. Hoover's appeal follows
One of the most vital problems con
fronting this nation is that Of pro-
curing sufficient sugar to meet the re-
uuircments Of our people and of the al
lied nations fighting our common bat
lie. The production of cane sugar in
this hemisphere can and will he in
creased TO limited degree. But we
must rely upon the farmers in sugar
beet producing sections of the country
for a part of the needed supply. !,
therefore earnestly appeal to every
farmer so situated. TO come to his
country's aid in this hour of need.
Without the cooperation of the Amer
lean beet grower our task Will ne very
difficult and our ability to respond to
the calls to he made upon us for this
very essential commodity will be cur
tailed 1t is ut least the duty OF every
beet grower to maintain in 1918 his
normal acreage of sugar beets. II Is
his privilege to increase that acreage
% the extent that a we'll balanced pro-
duction Of crops will permit and III
this manner effectively demonstrate
his patriotism

CARELESS DRIVING
RESPONSIBLE FOR.
death SAYS JURY
Coroner's Jury Finds That
James A. Flood Was
Killed Because Of Crowd
ing on Road.

James A. Flood, aged SO years, a
Nov 4, by means of careless driving
of an automobile by Charles d. Snyder"
The above is the verdict Of the coro-
ner's jury which spent the entire
morning inquiring into the details sur
rounding the accident of last Satur-
day in which the well known Meridian
man was fatally injured.
According to the evidence given by
Mr.. Snyder. he attempted to dash be-
tween another automobile and wagon
on which there was a hay rack. His
rear wheel struck a front wheel Of a
car driven by Charles Borden of Par
ma, swinging it around. This car
struck MIR. Flood, knocking him off
the grade into the ditch and causing
internal injuries which resulted in his
death Sunday.
The accident occurred very close to
the point at which Vernon Henry, a
member of the University Glee club
met his tragic death in an accident last
April.
JURY VISITS SCENE.
The jury this morning visited the
scene, had a hay rack placed on a
wagon and had the two drivers OF
the automobiles re-enact as near as
possible the driving of Saturday night
The jury was of the opinion that Sny-
der was careless in attempting to
drive between a wagon and machine al
so narrow a point in the road
The testimony given by Mr. Snyder
was to the effect that he did not see
MIR. Flood at all, which the jury be-
lieved to be true, as he was evidently
hidden from his view by the other ma
chine. He also testified that his eye
sight was not good and he often saw
black objects before him. He gave his
business az farmer and mining mar
and his address as Robinett. Ore. Mr.
Snyder stopped his machine and assist
ed in putting Mr.. Flood in the automo-
and then reported the accident to tht
police.
Mr., Flood was a farmer and resided
a short distance below Meridian. He J.
survived by his wife and two daughters
. He had been in the employ of the STATE
highway commission and had just com
pleted work for the day when injured
| The body was taken to Meridian to
! day and the funeral will be held Their,
4 tomorrow afternoon Burial will be il
the Meridian cemetery.
