Wednesday, Feb. z.

Miss Lucille Stanley of Columbia
is the attractive guest of Mrs. Hugh
Nicholson.
DR.. F. w. P. Butler came over
from Columbia and spent Monday
IN Edgefeld.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter ALLEN of
Fruit Hill were among the visitors
in Edgefeld, yesterday.
Blessed is the man whose lot in
life permits him to sit before the
fire all day long these wintry days.
Mr.. P. L. Wright of Winston
Salem spent Monday in Edgefeld
looking after some basiness MAJ
ters. Mr.. Wright is engaged in the
insurance and real estate business
in his adopted home.
The Daughters of the Confcdera,
cy will hold their next meeting at
the home of Mrs. Agatha Woodson
Tuesday afternoon, February l3, at
$3.50 o'clock. All members are re-
,quested to pay their annual dues at
this meeting.
At time when farmers most
need a maximum crop of grain,
with corn approaching Sl.5O and
-four $1,000, it appears now that
the injury to the wheat and oats is
the worst in several decades. If the
grain is killed, let's SOW again.
Spring oats, though inferior at best,
are better than no oats at all.
The Advertiser has received some
rather unusual reports from the ef-
fects of the cold wave but the most
phenomenal one came from a fellow
who went out to milk his cow the
coolest morning. He stated that as
he extracted the milk the streams
froze as they reached the bucket
and when he finished it appeared
that heShad bucket Of macaroni,
the stems all standing on end in the
bucket.
There was some whiskey drink,
ing in Edgefeld Monday. Several
men were very perceptibly under
the influence of it. Had law
shutting liquor out altogether as a
beverage been in operation, there
would have been no drunkenness
here Monday. Let's remove the
temptation altogether from men
who are not strong enough to re-
sist it.

Mr.. Warren's Thermometer.

Mr.. F. NJ. Warren dropped in to
see us Saturday while in Edgetield
and in discussing the weather sta
ted that his pond on the public road
near his home serves somewhat as a
community thermometer. Mr.. War
ren stated that for the first time in
a number Of years the pond has
been frozen completely over, but
in places the ice was not very thick.
About 80 years ago the ice was so
thick in the pond that a number of
persons skated on it. Here's hop
ing that the Warren pond will not
be frozen completely over again for
another thirty years.

ORPHANS ENJOY
 ANNUAL PICNIC

Many hearts were gladdened yes terday when more than sixty widows; and orphans were given a most de- lightful picnic three miles from the city on the Sulphur Springs road. It was treat made possible by the lib- eral contributions of generous-heartcd citizens of Pine Bluff. who dropped their donations into the pots of the local Volunteers of America, and do- mated the use of their auto trucks to transport the guests to and from the picnic grounds.
 The picnic and all arrangements were in charge of Captain and Mrs. R. D.. Watts, who arranged most in teresting program for the guests who enjoyed the event to the utmost ex- tent.
 There was but one feeling of re- gret and this was occasioned by the fact that the contributors to the fund and the donors of the trucks, were moi present to witness the pleasure and happiness of their guests.

Italians Marching to Victory.

AiHA0AS 4aA0l CifuS lu vtCCUAys
 Rome, August 25, 12:30 D. m.-The Italians on the Isonzo front are marching to complete victory.
 At Udine, Salvatore Barzilai, civil governor of the Austrian territory occupied by the Italian armies, when informed of the complete victory of the Italians exclaimed:
 At last our soldiers have achieved this magnificent thing-they have freed our soil from the ancient en- emy."
 The final success of the Italians in winning their greatest battle in this war is thrilling the country as never before. Both the army and the civilians now see the result of two years suffering in economic hard ships. The victory came unexpect- edly notwithstanding the encourag- ing bulletins the past fortnight. It is General Cadorna's rule never to an- nounce an event until certain that his troops are able to hold the new posi- tiOnS.

expressing view that the drafting of married men who are heads of families should be carefully examined to avoid it, if possible, and expressing tie view that single men should be taken where it is possible. As the president is empowered by the draft law to make the regulations under which it will be carried out, the effect of his letter to Secretary Baker is to throw influence toward more liberal policy for exemption of married men than heretofore has been pursued.
 Ine presidents view is in open con lllct with tho interpretation placed upon the law by army officers, who eohtend that as congress voted down ahiolldmcnts 1 to exempt married men, tney nave no legal authority to exempt l"ei,l except on the grounds of de pendency alone.

CONDITIONS OF WAR
Effect of Failure of Railway
 Transportation Outlined.
UNABLE TO CARRY SUPPLIES
Arms and Munitions Piled in Heaps on Ground at adivostok-Disor- ganization Among Railroads
 During Civil War.

The effect of failure of transporta- tlon facilities in modern warfare is we'll illustrated by the present situa- tion in Russia. There seems to be no doubt that the failure of the Russian military plans was to very great eX- tent the result of the diSorganization of the nations railway system, dis organization so complete that 1t eX- l tended clear to Vladivostok, 600O miles I behind the fighting line.
 At that port an accumulation of arms, munitions and supplies shipped | from America for the use of the Rus | sian forces is piled on the ground for miles. Some of the material has been 1 there for more than q year. It may l well be doubted whether the Russian revolution would have come so quickly to a head had the military authorities been able to keep the troops properly supplied and thus put them more nearly on equal terms with the enemy.
 Conditions Daring Spanish War. Nor does the Spanish war furnish the only example of a failure on the part of American railroads to meet the stresses of war conditions. Some- thing of the same sort of disorganiza- tion affected the railroads of the Northern states during the Civil war and resulted in the first plan of rail- way standardization for military pur- poses.
 {Y1ro 0F {f,o struggle had begun to be evident to the people of the North and repeated calls for volunteers had resulted i'll the raising of large numbers of troops in different sections of the country the facilities of the railroads broke down completely. The movement of men and supplies in numbers then un- dreamed of was too much for the per- sonnel and the equipment of the nr- merous small roads which at that time broke the journey between most of the principal cities.
 Government Control.
 It was this situation which in 1862 impelled congress to pass an act giv- ing the federal government power to take over the railroads ill time of war. President Lincoln, however, cOntented himself with calling to Washington Col. Thomas A. Scott, then an officer of the Pennsylvania railroad and after- ward its president for many years. Col onel Scott received an appointment as assistant secretary of war, with full authority over all the railroads in con- nection with the movement of troops. Colonel Scott and his assistants soon had things strengthened out and troops were moved to the various mobiliza- tiOn and concentration points as fast as the army authorities were able to take care of them. One of the Penn- sylvania's bright young men whom Col Onel Scott summoned to Washington to assist him in the work was certain division superintendent, Andrew Car negie by name, whose fame in other fields of endeavor has well-nigh ob- scured the reputation for unraveling knotty problems which he demon strated as an official of the military railways.
 Another of his assistants was John r. Green, who afterwards rose to the vice presidency of the Pennsylvania and who is still serving the company on its board of directors.
