Daughters American Revolu-
ton.

The D. A. R. was delightfully."- en-,
~tertained on Tuesday afternoon at
the lovely home of Mrs. D. B. Hol-
lingsworth.
The afternoon was ideal, and the
drive was inviting with the cotton
fields on either side white with the
leecy staple, and the fields made live
ly with many pickers.
The fall flowers everywhere adorn-
ing the roadside, and the invigorat-
ing weather made the whole journey
back and forth a real JOY, not to
speak of the charming environment
in the hospitable home which was the
mecca of our pilgrimage.
Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman, chapter
regent, called the meeting to order
out on the spacious piazza which had
been arranged comfortably and ap-
propriately under a lovely awning of
green vines, and an art square under
foot. Flags and flowers adorned the
table used by the regent. Under the
service flag for the boys in the FAM
lily who have enlisted, was a picture
entitled unconditional Surrender"
with the Kaiser on his knees.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the chaplain, Mrs. ]. L.
Minis, and each member was called
upon to respond to roll call with a
toast to our allies. Miss Sarah Col
lett read a particularly beautiful
toast.
Mrs. A. A. Woodson read a paper
on "The Allies"
Miss Florence Minis gave a selec-
ton entitled Some Mans Land"
Communications were read from
state and national officers, and a col
lection taken for the little French
orphan. 1t was decided to take the
money out of the funds of the
treasury to contribute $500 to the
Georgetown school, and the deficit
on the Liberty Bond and Tillalory,
the destroyed French village which
the national society is restoring.
At the close of the interesting pro-
gramme all the guests were invited
into the dining room, and on a lovely
table decorated artistically in red
and gold autumn leaves, was spread
a tempting repast, a salad course
and iced tea followed by ice cream
and cake and hot coffee. Around
this table good cheer and friendship
and love reigned supreme until the
happy meeting was dispersed, and the
friends said adieu.
The next Meeting will be held
with Mrs. B. E. Nicholson in No
vember.

that we have had-the n for old
clothing and the n for new hospi-
tai linens-without wanting to take
dear old Edgefield and everybody in
it by the hand and give it a good
hand shake. Such a splendid re-
spouse was never seen! Every auxil-
larry has worked nobly to secure their
part of the allotment-Antioch, Cleo
"a, Golfers, Red Hill, Pleasant Lane,
the good Samaritan, Ropers, Stevens
Creek and Sweetwater, the latter
coming forward with an additional
gift of more than a hundred dollars
to go into the general treasury. This
amount was raised by giving a Red
Cross entertainment and having with
them a military band from Augusta
and addresses by "real" soldiers.
Trenton has come up to her record
splendidly.
On Friday afternoon the Trenton
branch invited the community to a
linen shower. Light refreshments
we're served and numbers of beauti-
full towels and sheets were brought
in. Without the assistance of her aux
iliaries and the Trenton branch, Edge
field chapter raised her full quota of
second hand clothing and hospital
linens. A full list of all articles will
appear in next weeks papers. We
are grateful to our auXiliaries be-
cause we were anxious to send in a
larger amount than asked fer.
We have received notice of the
new allotment for the chapter, its
branch and auyiliaries, and as soon
as they are sent from headquarters
each will be notified to send for its
quota. This allotment is 500 under
shirts to be mended. l do hope that
you will watch the papers and come
for your garments as soon as you
see the notice Of the arrival of the
shipment, without awaiting further
notice.
The surgical dressings allotment
is in the house and Miss Butler asks
that a large number of womcn will
come up to the rooms every after
noon beginning Thursday of this week
to make the split irrigation pads,
which is a hurry call.
At the executive board meeting on
Friday, plans we're discussed for
holding the annual Red Cross meeting
and election of officers. This will be
a big Red Cross rally. Members from
all over the county are asked to come
in for the meeting which will be held
in one of our largest halls, possibly
the opera house. Miss Sarah Collect
was chosen to act as chairman of a
committee which will carry out her
plans for the occasion. A program
will appear elsewhere in the paper.
We wish to thank everyone who has
helped us meet our allotments, es-
pecially Mrs. Jas. Byrd the efficient
chairman of the special linen commit
tee and her splendid assistants, and
those who took home the towels and
sheets to have them Numbered.
There are thirteen large boxes fill
ed with clothing for the Belgians,
ready to ship and our linen will fill
at least one Of our regulation boxes.

for Publicity Committee.

Clean the Arroyo.

The arroyo running right
through the town is one of the
unsightly details of the appear
ance of Nogales that could be
remedied by a little work put in
upon the bed of the arroyo, rak-
ing up paper rubbish, etc., that
are blown into the watercourse
by every breeze. Street Super
intendent Peck does have it
cleaned out once or twice each
week, but the first breeze that
sweeps over the town scatters
another lot of unsightly stuff.
To be really effective the job of
raking and burning should be
done about twice each day. 1t is
sufficient to keep one man en-
ployed constantly.

Fine Work of Art in New York.

Most important in the accessions of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a
delightful relief sculpture of Vishnu.
"The Preserver, the Pillar of the Uni
verse;" says the New York Times. The
relief is 611h inches in height, by %
in width and is beautifully carved
from greenish black stone IN high
relief. The figure, standing erect, is
impressive and the serious face gives
the idea of the thought power for
which Vishnu stands, the balancing
force between the contending powers
of gOo6 and evil. There is wonder
full amount of finely carved detail in
the ornamentation of the figure and
the sort of canopy under which it
stands. At the foot of two pillars on
either side are two smaller figures, and
in the upper part of the relief are
tiny figures who represent the ten ava
tars of Vishnu. The figure comes from
temple in Kilxkeri in the Mysore dis
trict of southern India, which was
erected in III, and the sculpture is
supposed to date back to the last quar-
ter of the twelfth century. 1t was re-
moved to England in the early part Of
the nineteenth century.

The question of the site of Eden
has greatly agitated theologians; some
placed it near Damascus, others in Ar
menia, some in the Caucasus, others
at Hollah, near Babylon; others in
Arabia, and some in AbySsinia. The
Hindus refer it to Ceylon, one writer
locates it at the North Pole, and a
learned Swede asserts that it was in
Sudermania. Several authorities con-
cur in placing it in a peninsula formed
by the main river of Eden, on the east
side of it, below the confluence of the
lesser rivers which emptied themselves
into it, at about 81 degrees north lati-
tude, now swallowed up by the Per-
sian gulf, an event which may have
happened at the universal deluge, 1884
B. G. Many. however, think that the
whole story of Eden is legend and
that, accordingly, the man who tries
to find it's site is like the blind man
who looks in dark room for his black
hat that is not there.

Snakes as pest pestroyers.

Snakes are not our enemies, says
Gayne X. Norton in American Forest
ry. They never attack except in self
defense. OF our i'll species only IL
are poisonous-two species of FLAPS,
coral snakes, and Is species of GRO
taline snakes, the copperhead and moe
casin, the dwarf and typical rattle
snakes. On the other hand, the help
they render is. valuable. The pests
destroyed each year, especially ro-
dents that injure crops and carry COM
municable diseases, roll up large bal
ance of good service in their favor.
Rodents are destroyers of farm
products, cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation from
electric wires, and of human life
through germ-carrying, particularly the
bubonic plague.

Always a Wav.

Some small girls were skipping rope
on an East side street yesterday after
noon. The children skipped and twist
ed in turn, while little mother, with
a sleeping baby in her arms, looked on
wistfully. There seemed no place to
lay the baby, and the other little girls
were far too thrilled to think of offer
ing to relieve her to her charge while
she tried her prowess. Finally she
could stand it no longer. Casting
around in desperation she spied one
of the iron barrels provided by the city
for refuse paper, and thereby solved
her problem. Quickly the barrel was
turned on its side, the papers pulled
toward the top to make soft bed, and
the baby deposited therein. Gently it
rocked in its improvised cradle, sleep
ing peacefully on.-New York Times.
