Birthday Party.

Little Miss Gladys Lawton enter
tained about thirty of her friends on
Saturday afternoon in celebration
of her twelfth birthday.
Games of all kinds that charm
the child heart were engaged in and,
the decorations were of a patriotic
suggestion, the pretty invitations
having sent a hint of it beforehand,
bearing a flag on the dainty paper.
The souvenirs were bright little
red, white and blue baskets filled
with candy and waving from their
top>a miniature silk flag.
A word contest was one of the
features of the afternoons pleasures,
the prize, box OF patriotic station
cry, being won by Eleanor Minis,

A Kindly Deed.

Some great man has said that he
loved to do kindly deed in secret
and have it found out publicly.
The evil deeds of persons are
very soon exploited and people call
that gossip, but surely there can be
no harm in talking out loud about
the good that men do,-espeeially
when it's discovery will be a sur
prise to those who did it.
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. j. L.
McManus and Mr., L. s. Kernag-
han went out to the chain gang
camped out near Edgewood, Mr..
McManus carrying load of water,
melons to the convicts. They
greatly enjoyed this feast as you
may we'll imagine, and religious
service was held with them by these
two gentlemen. The convicts about
25 or 80 in number, saag with theiJ
voices, and no doubt made merry IN
their hearts over this gracious
generosity so rarely dispensed to
the unfortunate in this world.

Put on Shirt With Care.

Hereafter, all ye people who
wear shirts, men or women, be care
full how you don this very essential
garment. Our friend Gus Edmunds
who graduated in road building and
is now engaged in bigger things
building a cantonment for the gov
ernment-cameh home from Colum-
bia Sunday, where he has been work
ing for the past month. While on
the streets Monday morning Mr..
Edmunds told us to always put on
our shirt with care so as to avoid
the experience he had. One morn
ing last week while dressing hur-
riedly he put his shirt on wrong
side out and his roommate told
him at the time that he would have
bad luck" for making such an in
gregious blunder. Sure enough,
when he went TO the station in Col
umbia Sunday morning to come
home after an absence of several
weeks, he got left" and had to
wait for the next train. Again,
when he came over from his home
Monday morning to return to Col
umbia he got left" the train hav-
ing departed a few minutes before
his arrival. Never put on your
shirt or shirtwaist wrung-side out

Meeting at Red Hill.

A splendid meeting was conduct
ed at Red Hill during the past
week, Rev. w. S. Brooke of Johns
ton doing the preaching.
An automobile party from Edge
field went over on Wednesday and
enjoyed the splendid gathering and
the meeting with many friends and
co-laborers.
On that morning we reached the
church in time to be present at the
prayer service preceding the sermon,
which was conducted by our esteem
ed friend. Wallace Prescott, whom
all Edg gefeid and Red Hill regret
to give up, as he will soon leave for
his school at Lockhart.
Mr.. Henry Bussey and Mr.. Rufus
johnson both made helpful talks at
this service, which no doubt made
a deep impression on the many
young men who later went up to
the front and expressed an interest
in their spiritual condition.
Mr.. Brooke preached very ap-
propriate sermon on the parable of
the rich man.
The music was good and full
choir of women and men made the
old hymns resound through the spa
cious church.
Mrs. Maggie Mcdaniel Burnett
presided at the organ and Miss AL
pha Hammond at the piano.
A bountiful dinner was spread
and over this hospitable board the
friends and neighbors talked until
the afternoon bell rang, when ac-
cordiug to Mr.. Brooke's request
everybody, without any exception,
even the soldier boys and their
sweethearts, went back into the
church and listened to the words Of
wisdom which fell from the preach
er's lips.
And this was only one day which
the writer was privileged to enjoy.
How much of good must come
from a week of such splendid oc-
casions. Only those who value the
power of the invisible good can
catch q vision Of 1t.
+ About Is members were added to
the church, we hope, of such shall
be saved"

Will be Greatly Missed.

Mrs. P. NJ. Feltham who has
been on visit of several weeks to
her brother-in.law Mr.. Fred Fell
than in Boston, Ga, following the
gecent very sad and tragic accident,
turned home on Thursday of last
#eek.
Mrs. Feltham went to Boston on
hearing of the death of Mrs. Fred
Feltham in an automobile accident
and the serious injury of the other
members of the family and remain
ed until Mr.. Feltham and the
daughter and son had greatly i'm
proved.
While away Mrs. Feltham spent
several days in Albany, Ga, and
she was there the recipient of
many courtesies from friends of
yore in Albany who were once resi-
dents of Edgefeld, Mrs. Charles
Rawson, formerly Miss Mary Eliza

as Miss Alice Cheatham.
Mrs. Feltham also visited for a
day in Moultrie, Ca, and there met

The Edgefeld friends are loath
to give them up and the little boys
Jack and John as their boy friends
love to call them.
Mrs. Feltham said that if any
people on earth could rival the
Edgefeld people in genuine old
time hospitality, it was those of
South Georgia.

Alone.

1t is human to stand with the
crowd, it is divine to stand alone.
1t is man-like 10 follow the people,
to drift with the tide; it is God
like to follow principle, to stem
the tide.
1t is natural to compromise con-
science and follow the social and
religious fashion for the sake of
gain or pleasure; it is divine to sac
ritice both on the altar of truth and
duty.
No man stood with me, but all
men forsook me-" wrote the battle
SCARED apostle, in describing his
first appearance before Nero to an
swer for his life for believing and
teaching contrary to the Roman
world.
Truth has been out of fashion
since man changed his robe of fade
less light for a garment of faded
leaves.
Noah built and voyaged alone.
His neighbors laughed at his
strangeness and perished in style.
Abraham wandered and worship
ped alone. Sodomites smiled at the
simple shepherd, followed the fash
ion, and fed the flames.
Daniel dined and prayed alone,
Elijah sacrificed an d witnessed
alone. Jeremiah prophesied and
wept alone. Jesus loved and died
alone.
Wanted, today, men and women,
young and old, who will obey their
convictions of truth and duty at any
cost.-Exchange.

Keep Cattle Away From Rail
road Track.

Washington, D. c., August lS.-
Millions of pounds of beef and
pork will be required to feed our
armies and navies and those of our
allies, and if we are not to have
meatless days enforced in the United
States we should conserve our sup
plies in every practicable way"
said Preside ent Harrison, of the
Southern Railway System, to.
day.
Zone of the ways in which a
very substantial saving of our meat
resources may be made is through
reducing the number of animals
killed on railroad tracks. On the
railroads of the United States
many thousands of cattle and hogs
are killed every year and, as those
killed in this way are not used Tor
food, this loss results in a CORES
pondingly large decrease in cur
available meat supply.
''The responsibility for this loss
rests primarily on the owner of the
animals who allows them to stray
on the railroad right of way. When
they are killed the law places the
responsibility on the railroad and
the owner suffers no direct pecu-
mary loss. There is, however, in
addition to the serious reduction of
the meat supply of the country, a
further economic loss through the
payment by the railroad of money
which is urgently needed at this
time for increasing the transporta-
,ion facilities of the country the
lack of which for the movement of
his products to market may cause
a loss to the farmer greater than
the amount he received for the ami
mails killed on the railroad. The
extent of this loss may be indicated
by the fact that the Southern Rail-
way System alone paid out in the
twelve months ended June 80,
1917, more than 100000 for ami.
mails killed on the right of way.
This sum, even at the present high
prices of equipment would be suf-
fcient to buy more than 100 stan.
dard box cars capable of handling
at single load more than 5000
tons of freight, and the constant
use of this many additional cars
would tend to the relief of the
present wartime congestion of
traffic. a
rs it not the patriotic duty of
every farmer to keep his live stock
away from the railroad tracks?''

A Welcome Visitor Coming.

following to say of Lockhart and
Rev. Mr.. Littlejohn in last weeks
Baptist Courier.
"Two years ago I visited Lock
hart for the first time. They bad a
one.room church building and were
trying to pay the pastor $500 for
one-half time. Pastor J. M. Gull
bertson and I put on the 'Individ-
ual Finance System, and brought
them up to $500 for full time. We
visited the general manager who
agreed to add Sunday school ad-
dition to our house and allow US to
pay for it by tie month without
any interest. The plan added one
third more to the auditorium and
gave us four splendid Sunday school
rooms. The company also agreed
to give $50 each year on pastors
salary.
Rev. L. S. Shealy, who succeed.
ed Pastor Culbertson, served as pas
tor during the two years. Through
his efforts both the church and Sun.
day school rolls were almost
doubled. We are sorry to have
lost Shealy from our mill work. He
served US we'll at Laurens Second
Buffalo and LocKhart. We hope
that he may soon return to his first
love.
Rev. j. T. Littlejohn is now the
beloved pastor at Lockhart. He has
already won warm place in every
heart. Both he and the community
are optimistic over the splendid
outlook. During our recent cam
paign the church increase sed the sala.

The company, was asked to increase
their contribution to $3.50. / rejoice
oyer the splendid weeks work
$40 added to pastors salary, to
say nothing Of the good accomplish
ed by the teaching and preaching
each night at the church and from
house to house during the day.
Pastor Littleiohn needs no intro
duction to South Carolina Baptists.
He made himself felt for every de
nominational cause in the Edge
field Association. Already he
has entered into the life of the
Union County Association. Mrs

FOSTERING RUTH LAW.

One day last week The Gate City news col
umns carried an interesting story relating to
Ruth Law, the young woman who airplaned
over Keokuk at the time of the fall celebration
last October. To quote the article, 'Ruth Law
has discovered that being famous ism t all fun y
and that breaking the nonstop record IN
American aviation in her flight from Chicago
to New York has obliged her to sustain as best
she can the drawbacks which attend sudden
fame. She is kept busy driving away the peo-
pie who want to label soaps, corsets, cold cream
perfumes and petticoats with her name, and
those who want her to ride upside down in
motorcycle and to lecture to girls schools
1t appears that Miss Law is not interested
in any business projects which do not tend to
advance the art of and science of flying. She
doesn't see why she should ride IN motor
cycle around an inverted track, or why be
photographed in Somebody's new style of avia-
tin costume, or give her name to aviator's
helmet which is not at all what she wore in her
cross country flight, and no better. She is alb
sofutely devoted to the cause Of aviation and
the only offer which has interested her. she
says, is a proposal for ten weeks series OF
lectures in the large cities of the country, and
for which she has been offered twenty-five
thousand dollars She would carry her little
biplane with her as bit of Every ocular
proof This idea pleases her.
A thousand attempts may be made to hitch
a string to Ruth Laws kite. to get advertising
for something else out Of her own great ex-
plot, but she can afford to regard these things
sereney; high good luck crowned her own
skill, bravery and patience, and no more popu-
lar aviator has ever stepped from the cramping
chill of a hard flight into the blaze Of popular
enthusiasm The fact that woman should
have won such a triumph adds piquancy to the
situation. Not all women could do what she
has done, but it is proved that one woman
could for she has done it. 1t is more of a tri-
umph fer aviation than for feminism, which is
as it should be- and that fact is. recognized by
Ruth Law Any other view of the exploit
would be unworthy of so plucky. and intelligent
woman
