British Headquarters in France

ing, Commander of the American
Expeditionary Force in France, tele-
graphed:
Permit me to extend sincere con
gratulations to you and your mag

tant gains in front of Ypres. They
give a striking answer to the weak
kneed peace propaganda.
Field Marshal Haig sent this an
Swer:
Il wish to thank you very heartily
in behalf of the British army under
my command for your most kind
telegram. We look forward to the
day when the American armies join
us on the western front, and we are

inforced, will fight the war to an
early and decisive issue"

Very Low Rate.

In last weeks issue The Adver'
tiser announced that the board of
county commissioners had obtained
a loan of $4,000 from the Bank of
Johnston, competitive bids having
been submitted from three banks in
the county at 4 per cent. We
should have stated that the rate was
3. II instead of four, having been
incorrectly informed as to the rate.
When one of tn g ba n k
of the county can supply 80
large sum at a rate of 3.7l at
time when money is bringing 5-l2
per cent in New York, indicates
that our people are becoming indie
pendent of Northern and Eastern
money centles. The five strong
banks in the county--two at John
ston, one at Trenton and two at
Edgefeld-are among the county's
leading assets and are justly the
pride of the people.

Among the Methodists.

In line with other great denomin-
ational movements in behalf of
Christian education, the Methodist
people of South Carolina, number
ing considerably over 100000 souls,
have launched well planned cam
paign to raise 100000 for the
benefit of their schools and colleges
within the State. A large part of
the amount secured will he used to
pay off present Indebtedness and
the balance is to be used to secure

The pastors responded most nobly
and generously to the appeal made
to them at the annual conference in
Greenville and Florence last Novem-
Der. Their gifts ranged from SIS
to several hundred dollars each.
The citizens of Spartanburg have
already contributed many thousands
of dollars to the fund, and the
Methodist people of the city of Col
umbia are being canvassed this
week.
The plan is to have the cause
presented at least, one time from
every Methodist pulpit in South
Carolina, and Immediately following
this public meeting in each church
an every member canvass will be
made. The campaign was begun
in Columbia on last Sunday and
will continue duriug the month of

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.

lin. Snake Bit Negro rs.
Boy. e &

Easter is almost upon us, only
two more weeks, and still we are
glad to have a good fire to sit oy
and heavy clothing. s s
Wednesday we had all sorts OF
weather. The morning was brigSs
and warm, then came very heavy.
rain and blew off real cold by night.
So it was April, March and January
all in one day. April showers,
March wind, and January cold and
frosty.
As everything else is late the
chicken crop will be late with U.s..
We only have four hens sitting,
and no little biddies out yet.
Gardens are way behind and we
need something fresh and green.
Never have we spent winter with
out something in the garden before
this. There is one negro in the
neighborhood that got plants from
Young's Island, just day or so be-.
fore the freeze and kept them in the
house until after that cold spell was
over before he set them out aud his
cabbage are looking fine now.
Guess he will have many calls for
them before they head.
A small negro boy on Mr.. Ell. L.
Bunch's place was bitten by snake
down on the branch last week.
They bathed the place in strong
lye and put turpentine and Sloan's
liniment on it, so he was better on
Saturday. We have heard of sew
eral snakes having been seen out al
ready. The little folks that have
shed their shoes had better look be-
fore they leap.
We were called to attend the
funeral of another old veteran. on
Thursday of last week. Mr.. Char
lie Glover answered the last roll
call on March 90. about 6 o'clock
in the afternoon at the hospisal
where he had been little more than
week. He has been great suffer-
er for long while.
Mrs. Fannie Shanklin. (nee Miss
Blackstone) died on Wednesday
morning at her son-in-law's, Mr..
John SCOTS. She has made her
home with Mrs. Scott for several
years. She too had not been we'll
for year or more, still she did not
give up until day or two before
her death. We extend to both
sorrowing families our sincere sym.
pathy.
We were very glad to hear on
Sunday that Mrs. Frances Townes
was sufficiently improved TO sit on
the piazza on Saturday. Hope she
will soon be out again.
Mrs. Sallie Bunch bad a backset
from imprudence on Thursday, and
is not so we'll again. Mr.. and Mrs.
D. B. Hammond and little Frances,
spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs.
Bunch.
Mr.. George Towns spent Sunday
with his mother, Mrs. Julia Townes.
Mrs. Harry Bunch and children
spent the weekend at her fathers

very enjoyable visit, having seen

trustees of the school and commend
ed them for their forward step in
the erection Of the modern building.
The second speaker was Mr.. j. L.
Minis, who was followed by State
Superintendent of Education j. E.
Swearingen. For half an hour be
held the closest attention of the
audience, his utterances being help
full and encouraging the good peo-
pie of Harmony to undertake even
greater things. Mr.. Swearingen
was followed By DR.. E.. Psndteton
Jones who spoke with characteristic
eloquence, making some valuable
suggestions to trustees, patrons aid
teachers in the matter of educating
their children. Lack of space will
not permit US to even attempt Te-
port of these addresses at length.
At the close of the program all
present were invited 20 partake of
great feast which was spread on the
long table upon the church yard
where whole-souled hospitality has
been dispensed in the most COM
mendable manner times without
number. The usual boundless
supply of dinner had been provided
but the weather kept hundreds of
persons away, consequently, after
all withdrew from the table many
baskets full were left untouched.
The social hour was one of splendid
fellowship, all finding it helpful to
be in such an atmosphere.
Early in the afternoon the base
ball enthusiasts, both among the
boys and the gro wnups, had Two or
three hours of real fun. A match
game was played between Harmony
and Johnston, with that splendid
fellow, Luther Watson, as umpire.
Pressing duties made it necessary
for the writer to turn his face home
ward by the middle of the after
noon, more than an hour before
the final score was reached, conse-
quently we are not informed as to
which team won the game. Up to
the time we reluctantly departed
both teams were playing good ball,
being quite evenly matched.
All who attended the exercises at
Harmony Friday spent day that
will be source of pleasant memo
ries for many years to come. All
of the teachers, Prof. G. f. Long,
Miss Sarah Stevens, Miss Emmie
Wright and Miss Stalnaker, were
constantly on the alert, seeing that
every visitor received attention.
The editor of The Advertiser,
with uncovered head, bows very
low to the Harmony people and
commends them with all possible
emphasis for their spl en- d e d
achievement, the erection of rural
school building that is an honor to
Edgefeld county and to South Caro-
lima.
