Miss Sumner in Edgefield.

The Civic League of Edgefeld
has entered upon a splendid cam.
paign for the improvement of con-
ditions in our town.
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the home of Mrs. A. E. Padgett, a
company of women belonging to
this organization, assembled to hear
Miss Sumner, general secretary of
the Anti-Tuberculosis League of
South Carolina, acting under the
Red Cross Society.
Miss Sumner made a very prac-
tical and helpful talk on the sub
iect, and generously offered the use
of splendid literature for the league.
At the close of her talk, delight
full sandwiches and iced tea were
served.
The Anti tuberculosis League is
greatly indebted to the Metropolitan
Life Insurance, Co., for their gene
rosity in supplying most splendid
literature for wide distribution in
regard to this great menace to our
State and nation.
The Monday evening meeting, at
which Miss Sumner and DR.. Riser
were to address the public, had to be
called off on account of the heavy
storm of rain and electricity. This
was a great disappointment to many
who were planning to go.
Tuesday Mrs. M. A. Taylor en-.
tertained Miss Elizabeth Sumner at
a dining, her other guests being
Mrs. J. B. M. Potter and Mrs. E..
P. Jones.
In the afternoon, at Macedonia
church, Miss Sumner addressed an
interested congregation on the sub
ject of tuberculosis and public sani-
tation. Some members of the Civic
League accompanied her.

Better get your ticket at once for
the entertainment to be given by
the children of the graded school in
the opera house Friday night. Ex-
ercises and entertainments by child
rem are always generously patronized
in Edgefeld.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. G. Talbert of
Parksville have been spending
several days here with Mr.. and Mrs.
M. G. Parker. Their Edgefeld
friends always greet them very
cordially upon their visits which
are entirely too infrequent.
Mr.. Harold Norris has completed
the full course at one of Columbia's
leading business colleges and has
come home to spend several days
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
J. Norris, before accepting posi-
tion that has been offered him in
Columbia.
The children's chapter U. D. G.
was pleasantly entertained on Satur-
day afternoon with little Miss
Winks Bailey, about twenty-five
children were present and an in
structive programme was carried
out. The next meeting will be
held with Fitzmaurice Byrd.
What says you, young people of
Roper's, of Golfers, of Red Hill,
of Cleora, of Pleasant Lane and of
Meeting Street, to making up auto
parties and coming to the Chautau-
qua at Edgefeld? Pleasant and
profitable entertainment will be
provided three days and nights at
small cost.
Mr.. Frank West, a progressive
farmer.merchant of the Antioch Sec
tion, has set other farmers good
example. Recently he purchased
five barrels of paint to be used on
his barns and other out buildings.
He will get the cost of the paint
back in the preservation of the
buildings and their improved ap-
pearance will cost nothing.
A very intelligent and charming
gentleman from Atlanta and New
York, Mr.. w. G. Warfeld, repre-
senting the World Book Co., was
in Edgefeld on Thursday and Fri
day of last week. In conversation
with him, he spoke very highly of
the Radcliffe Chautauqua which
will visit our town on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday of next week.
Said it was good.
Entertainments given by children
are always true to name-they en-
tertain. If you would like to spend
while, say two hours, very plea
sanity, then go to the opera house
Friday night of this week. An en-
tertainment will be given by the
children of the graded school that
will be second to none of its kind
ever given in Edgefeld before.
Take our word for it and GO.
