The Eight Week Club Idea.

There are many clubs with varied
purposes and designed for the fos
tering of different interests, but thu
eight-week cluo is unique, and il
organized and lead only by the
Y. w. G. A. girls of our college
There are many girls who have
the great privilege of attending col
lege, and a great many who nevel
enter college hall, and it is fol
these latter ones that the eight-weel
club idea was put into practice
The real purpose Of the club is tc
bring to the girls some of the
inspiration and learning that they
have missed.
These clubs are formed in towns
mill villages and rural districts. a
very successful club of this type
was held in the Edgefeld mill
village, when every Saturday fol
ten weeks the girls and children
assembled to sing, play games, sew,
hear stories told by experts, solos
sung and inspiring talks made
All that was required of the girls
was that they come. Souvenirs
were given and light refreshments
served at each meeting.
The programme by the club is
three.fold, having a spiritual part,
certain part set aside for recreation,
and another for learning something
practical and something intellectual.
Different girls dressed in costumes
sang and told stories, and one night
every one in the mill village was
invited, men, women and children,
to attend a lecture and stereoptican
views on Europe and the Holy
Land.
Red Cross pillow cases were made
from cloth given by the superlnten-
dent of the mill.
This club was a place Wnere Ine
GIRLS might meet for a wholesome
social time, for good recreation and
for intellectual stimulus. The av-
erage attendance was about twenty
fve,. and the girls evidenced such a
JOY in attending that the club will

Tribute to MIR. E. w. Thurmond.

On the 9th of August, 1917, in
his sixty-seventh year, Mr.. Z. w.
Thurmond passed quietly away
sitting on the piazza just after the
noon hour. While his health for
number of years has been declining,
nevertheless his going away was a
great shock to his loved ones. Death
came to him without struggle, as
the twinkling of an eye.
Though practically al invalid and
a great sufferer much of the time,
there were periods when he was per-
mitted to engage in his farming in.

aad having attained a mark degree
of success.
Mr.. Thurmond was quiet and un.
assuming in his manners, a liberal
contributor to his church and to
everything that was high and noble,
weighing we'll the interest of his
community, making his place hard
to fill as a citizen of high integrity
and principle.
In his home his worth cannot be
estimated, for in that home he has
counciled and given home to
minor orphans, and to those who
would otherwise have never known
the loving care and guidance OF
sweet home had it not been for his
generosity and the unsel6shness OF
his noble wife, who survives him
with three daughters, twenty-five
grandchildren and two great-grand
children, one sister, Mrs. Sam Prince,
to whom our heart goes out in deep
est sympathy.
While we must miss him, he be-
ing a pioneer member, also dea-

every assurance we shall meet again

Garrett & Calhoun, Augusta, Ga
Weekly Cotton Review.

The very rapid and extreme de
cline that we have had in the cot
ton market in the past few weeks
represents the reaction due to the
congestion in the contract situation
that prevailed in New York during
the past spring and summer.
The uncertainty attending crop
conditions in it's early progress, as
well as the abnormal state of af-
fairs due to War, gave no one a
we'll defined opinion as to just what
was the value of cotton.
The result was that when con-
tracts were scarce in the New York
market, the short interest remained
almost nil at the time. The spill
ners, although enjoying an unusual
season of prosperity and selling
their manufactured product at ex-
treme prices. covered themselves
both with spot contracts and with
future contracts to meet most of
their forward commitments regard
less of prices; thus to-day, with the
market deprived of trade buying
power, deprived of that support
which usually comes from short
covering. we find the volume of
cotton offering too large to be abb
sorbed by any new buying that may
come into the market.
speculation is at low ebb; in
fact this feature has been thorough
ly discouraged on the part of mem
bers of all Cotton Exchanges.
The cotton market, at the mo-
ment, finds itself in helpless po-
sition and values must reach some
point at which the investor will
take hold or speculation is revived I
We expect lower prices on the
weight of spot offerings.
Very truly.

Twenty-Five Cents is a Fair
Price for Cotton.

The Government has fixed the
price of this years wheat crop at
1920 per bushel or, roughly, full
two and one-half times the average
for the past ten years. Corn and
oat prices naye not yet been fixed,
but it is probable that they, too,
will be put at figures not far from
two and one-half times the ten-yea1
average.
Now if these cropssare to sell for
these prices, we believe cotton is
also worth around two and one-halt
times what it has averaged for ten
years past. In other words, we be-
lieve that middling cotton should
bring 25 cents, and that anything
less Is unfair to the Southern cot
ton grower. The only fair measure
is found by ascertaining the ex.
change value of commodity, and
measured by this yard-stick cotton
at 25 cents is not high, A bale OF
25-cent cotton to-day will buy no
more flour, meal, meat, lard, clotn
or steel than would bale of ten.
cent cotton a few years ago.
The Southern farmer will be IN
good financial condition this fall,
and he should resist declines in cot
ton by stubbornly holding off the
market. Especially is this so du-
ring the next three months, when
there is usually tendency to try to
sell too fast. We should have %
cents for our cotton crop, and we
will get it if we stick out for IT.

Resolutions on the Death of
Mrs. Charlie Strom.

We, the members of Rehoboth
Mission Society are deeply grieved
because of the death of our beloved
sister and co-worker, Mrs. Matte
Belle Strom, who so faithfully and
patiently served us in the capacity
of Secretary for the past six years.
This was labor Of love, and now
she has gone to be with her Savior
whom it was her delight to serve.
While our ahearts are shrouded in
sorrow, hope-ever resourceful hope
reveals the star pointing the way
to our Fathers many lnansloned-
house, and a voice seems to call
a.far: mot dead, but sieeoeth, D
and at res: with Jesus, who is The
way, the truth and the life -
Whereas it has pleased our Heav-
enly Father in His all-wise provi-
dence to remove from our midst
our beloved sister.
Resolved, lst, That in our sor-
row over the departure of our dear
sister, we recognize the hand of
Him who makes no mistakes and
submissively bow to His will, know
ing that HE doeth all things well. y
End, That in the death of our
sister, Rehoboth Baptist church has
lost a true and consistent member,
and mission society a faithful and
secrated worker. In all that con-
cerned the church she was deeply
interested, and was ready by word
or act to further the cause of Christ.
With a heart of love and spirit of
charity, her influence was refining
and uplifting. Truly a good wo-
man has left US, but the fragrance
of her pure Christian life is heri-
tage that will live with us, an in
spiration as we journey on towards
the Celestial City.
3rd, That her presence, her gen
tie speech, her pleasant smile, and
cordial greeting will ever be m Used
among our members.
4th, That we extend to the be-
reaved family and relatives our
deepest sympathy.
5th, That page in our minute
book be inscribed to her memory,
and copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family, and also TO The
Edgefeld Advertiser and the Bap.
tist Courier for publication.
Respectfully submitted,
Miss Carrie Talbert,

NEGROES HELD.
Call For Mobilization of Negroes
Delayed in Order to
Make New Arrange
ments at Camps.

Washington, Sept. 1o.-Negro
roops of the National Army will
be organized in: separate units
as is done in the regular army,
and as far as possible will be
trained in the States where they are
raised.
The call for negroes to mobilize
at their camps will be postponed to
allow the officers at their camp to
arrange for the organization OF
these separate units. Both white
men and negroes of the selectlve
draft forces will be given an oppor-
tunity to volunteer for service in the
batalions of troops for service on
the lines of communication, their
work being military, but not COM
batant. However, there will be
negro fighting regiments for the
National Army as there are of the
regulars and the National Guard.
Secretary Baker outlined this
policy of the war department today
in a statement dealing with the
method to be followed in the organ
ization and training of negroes liza:
BILE to draft under the National Ar
my act. Presumably the negro
regiments of the regular army and
the National Guard will be retained
as they are as fighting units. The
statement follows:
''The rule of the regular army
governing the training and organ1-
zation of colored troops will be
followed in the National Army
and they will be assembled and and
trained as separate CARNATIONS.
'sThe call for sibe colored men to
mobilize will be postponed until
one of the later calls, 50 that they
viii be called TO cam p at a sepaysst!ss
time, giving aii opp f,sr f,ssr' Ssle
officers at the camp to assemble the
organizations of which they are
part at one time. They will not
be called last, although they will
be included in one of the later
calls.
al! colored troops called in a
State which has a cantonment in 1t
will be trained there. Provision
will be made, but has not yet been
made, for the assembling from
those States which have not can
tonments O. their quotas of colored
soldiers for training.
Opportunity will be given to
both the white and colored troops
of the selective draft forces to 2!'
teer in certain line of communlca-
ton forces. which it will be neces:
sary to organize and it is hoped
that an adequate number will vol

INTERESTING LETTER.
MIR. Pendleton Gaines Now in
Aviation Corps Writes His
Mother From Far Off
Ohio.

The Advertisers readers will be
delighted by the following very in
teresting letter from Mr.. Pendletor
Gaines to his mother, Mrs. w. j.
Gaines. Pendleton was universally
popular in Edgefeld when he at
tended school here:
Dear Mother:
We spent the night in Dayton last
night, and got out here bright and
early this morning. One of the
student aviators was in town this
morning and five of US got a ride
out with him.
Long before we got here we hap.
pened to look up and saw several of
the great birds" flying around.
They kept thickening up as we came
closer till when we got here the air
was full of them. Out on the big
fiat field they could be seen lighting
and rising in quick succession, just
like flock of sure enough birds.
Tney sure have a wonderful field
out here for the business. 1t con-
tains twenty-five hundred acres, and
is as level as a floor. 1t contains
the field on which the Wright
brothers made their first expert
ments. The hangar which they
built years ago is still standing. The
field is named after Wilbur Wright,
the one who died of typhoid fever a
few years ago.
On the way from Cincinnati yes-
terday I talked with an old gentle
man who owned the field when the
Wrights were first starting. He
said that he asked Wilbur one day
that if they did succeed what good
would it do. He said that the an
Iiswer was, War purposes" This
vision has surely come true.

I went up for my JOY ride, as tht

they stay within gliding distance o1
the field, there is no danger.
Love to all from
Your loving son,

The Practical Arts in the Rural
School

C. S. y. S. News Letter
Some of the Practical Arts should be
found in the complete rural school pro-
gram. A good definition of manual
training is, The study of elementary
constructive processes and materials.
Manual training embraces work with
wood, iron. cement, and gravel; shoe,
harness, and kitchen utensil repairing,
basketry. and painting, in fact. oil of
the simple constructive processes. 1t
is not expected that pupils shall esquire
a great degree of skill in any Of the
arts, and many may not be attempted
in the rural school; however, wood work,
painting, and concrete for boys, and
basketry, sewing. and cooking for girls.
need appall no teacher of the enthusi
astic, ingenious. and studious type. In
the study of processes with the pupil is
the solution of the problem for the
rural teacher.
What would be more simple and in
teresting to teacher, even one who
knows little more than the pupils about
the matter, than to undertake to paint
outbuildings and fence, and, while paint
ing, to study the nature and source of
the materials of which paint is COM
posed? The subjects for study would
be linseed oil, turpentine, white lead,
colors, and brushes. Much is written to
fill just such demand for information.
Too little value is placed on the i'm
portance to the pupil of such experience.
A boy who has opened can Of paint,
mixed it according to directions, and
applied it in Frightening up fence will
never lack confidence in his ability to
perform such a work on much larger
scale, should he ever have occasion to
do so. To train to read and follow in
structions is not the least efficient
teaching. If teacher who hes never
attempted to construct anything Of con-
crete. will lead a group of boys to secure
government bulletins on some form of
cement work. say side walks, and then
guide them in the construction - d.
rected. she is doing the best sort Of
manual training. Just such training in
ferreting our knowledge and applying il
will bear fruit in confidence \ ability
