I'm Afraid That's All |
Can Spare

You're a regular, r~ed-blooded, true-blue American. You love
your country. You love that Tapping, swapping old flag. Your
heart thumps hard when the troops tramp by. You're loyal
100 per cent.
You intend to-you want to-hep win the war in a hurry.
Sacrifice? Sure" you've been thinking. Gust you wait
till they really need it." And you've honestly thought you meant
that too.
But look yourself in the eye, now, and search up and down
inside of your heart did you mean it? Did you really mean
"sacrifce?"
Listen: You feel poor. This third Liberty Loan, the high
prices, the Income Tax-yOuve done your bit. You feel that you
have given all you can spare.
What? Then what did you mean? What's that you said
about loving your country? What did you think the word "sac-
rifce" means?
Surely you didn't mean, did you, to give only what you can
spare?
What about our boys who are, giving their lives in the
trenches? Are they giving only what they can "spare?"
How about those mothers and little "kiddies" in the she'll
wrecked towns of that war-swept
bng-alone? Giving up their homes, their husbands, their
fathers.
While we-over here with our fun and our comforts-we
hold up our heads and feel patriotic because we have given
what? Some loose bills off the top of our roll. "Weve given all
we can spare"
Come, come! Let's quit fooling ourselves. Let us learn
what sacrifice means. Let us give more than we can spare
let us give till the heart says STOP"

Should Conserve Wool.

Our people should realize that
every bit Of wool made up into suits
for them TO wear next winter is just
so much less wool available for
warm clothes for our soldiers. MIR.
Baker has led US to believe that we
will have at least 100000 soldiers
in France by next winter, with at
least 100000 more in the training
camps. If it has been a difficult
problem to get wool for war work
this year it requires but little fore,
sight TO see what is ahead of us un-
less our people are willing to do
without unnecessary new wool
clothes next fall. The question OF
style should no! De considered, ratb-
er than for soldiers to be insufficient,
ly clothed.
If the merchants dealing in wool
en- materials which are sold by the
yard or made into ready-to-wear
know that their customers are apt
to buy fewer clothes next winter.
they will not plan such large orders
for goods. The manufacturers in
their turn will make up less WOO
and more raw material will be avail
able.

First Quota Filled.

Saturday the local board sent
lO2 colored men to Camp Jackson,
this being all of the men this county
owed in its first quota of 2o3. The
local board had a sufficient number
of nen ready in September to fill
the quota, but they Were never Or
dered out.
The men were ordered to assem-
BILE in the court house and were
marched to the station under JOS
eph Lanham, colored man, who
was placed in charge of the men.
Very brief addresses were made by
Capt. Evans and Mr.. Simkins.
Cop West Oliphant also said a
parting word. A nice lunch was
provided for the men by the men,
bers of the Edge6eld chapter, D.
A. r., and the W. G. T. u, the
government paying all bills. Sew.
eral hundred negroes gathered at
the station to bid adieu to the men
who were now in the military SER
vice of their country. Two cars
were filled with them, and as the
train departed hands were wav-
ing good byes from the platforms
and every window, every soldier be-
ing in the best of spirits. AS the
days are yet short and the roads
bad, the men could not arrive Fri
day in time for the colored people
to provide some form of entertain.
ment, as was provided for the col
ored men early last fall. The col
ored people of Edgefeld county are
patriotic, and are manifesting de-
sire to do their part in bearing the
burdens of the war. We expect to
hear nothing but creditable reports
from the colored people who go to
the camps, and later to Europe
from this county.

Meeting for Men Only.

Sunday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock
Rev. Walt Holcomb will speak to
men only at the Methodist church.
This service promises to be one of
unusual interest to the men of
Edgefeld and community. Mr..
Holcomb is known as a mans
man." He is in great demand as a
speaker before Sunday afternoon
meetings of the Y. NJ. G. AS Of
this country. This in itself guaran-
tees a profitable hour to every man
who attends.
The men from Johnston, Trenton
and from all sections of the county
are urged to take advantage of this
opportunity.
Men, don't forget the speaker,
Rev. Walt Holco1nb, and don't for
get the subject, David, the Awful
Sinner" Don't forget the time

Mr.. Tompkins Improving.

While regretting the injury,
everybody in Edgeield is delighted
that Mr.. Arthur Tompkins was not
seriously injured in the collision
which occurred near Columbia Sun
day afternoon. He was carried to
the Baptist Hospital and will re-
main there until he fully recovers.
The Advertiser suggests that Mr..
Tompkins' friends in Edgefield and
other parts of the county shower
him with letters or post cards while
he is passing the long, monotonous
hours in the hospital. Edgefeld has
no citizen who is more beloved than
he and we feel confident that many
persons will act upon the post card
shower suggestion. The editor
of The Advertiser has already for
warded his card.

an Instructor come, to form class
in Surgical dressings, materials for
which are on hand.
An unfortunate little notice has
been going the rounds in the news
papers, to the effect that our wo-
men are not taking the proper in
terest in the Red Cross work. That
condition might possibly have OBJ
tained during January, when the
thermometer registered just above
zero and when it was not possible
to obtain coal. The room is very
large and hard to heat, ard the wo.
men could not go up there to work
under the adverse conditions which
existed. Then too, we had no ma
terials on hand with which to work,
and no chairmen or supervisors OF
departments had been formed. 1t is

Red Cross Activities.

It is delightful to be able to
chronicle the interest taken in our
work by the women and girls out of
town. On Wednesday of last week
letter was received from Miss
Hortense Woodson of the Red Hill
of Y. w. A. asking for wool for
the girls to knit up into sweaters,
and on Saturday, Mrs. Thomas
Lamb came in from the Red Oak
Grove section and got ten cut out
garments for the qirls of the Red
Oak Grove Y. w. A. to make. AS
soon as another shipment of wool is
received the girls of Red Hill will
begin their quota. We are hoping to
be able to get knitters for socks-a
sample of the kind needed having
been sent with our last order of
wool.
Mrs. Hugh Nicholson, who is in
charge of the knitting and furnishing
supplies for the Belgian and French
Relief, has large box of sweaters
and scarfs ready for shipment. She
has received from headquarters pat
terms of an infants layette. They
write that these garments will be
heartily welcome. The children of
the Bald Eagle Chapter U. u. q.
have been at work OF baby kits for
some time and have quite box OF
garments and comforts on hand.
These are to be turned over to our
Red Cross Chapter and bundled up
according to Red Cross regulations.
1t is hoped that all who have prom
ised these children articles for the
kits will bring them to the BED
Cross room on Thursday. There
are being fitted up new work and
stock rooms and another room IN
which to hold our meetings as the
large one now in use for all pur-
poses, is to be devoted exclusively
to Hospital dressings and Surgical
supplies, Miss Annie Cllsby being
supervisor of this branch of the

RED OAK GROVE.
Miss Mamie Bussey Improving.
MIR. Lamb Visiting in South
Georgia. Red Cross
Work Began.

Of course our Sunday lessons
should always interest US, but the
very subject before us this week,
should appeal to every one, with
unusual interest. THE Power of
Christ in the World To-day"
There is a sure way to brighten the
dark clouds that over-shadows our
world, by the great and terrible war
under which we must labor, and the
only way is to seek Gods guild
ance, believing he still presides
and the power is given unto those
who believe, on Him.
During the session of our State
w. M. U. in Spartanburg several
years ago, while in company with
Mrs. B. 3. Allen, now of Ander-
son, she made this remark, no one
here in attendance on this occasion,
compared mostly of mothers too,
can Justly say she made sacrifice
to be there, because, we are Christ's
and all we have is his, belongs to
him." I have thought much lately
of the power of that spirit over our
land to-day.
The girls of Red Oak Grove
have decided 10 take up work for
the Red Cross, beginning this week,
having garments cut with models
now on hand from Edgefeld Chap
ter. This department is being SUI
pervised by Mrs. Agatha Wood
son.
Sunday schools that have been
for reasons unavoidably inactive
will enjoy the approaching spring.
Our school we think is gradually
manifestibg more and more interest.
With cooperation on part of the
school, our faithful Superintendent,
Mr.. w. M. Agner will succeed.
Some sickness in our neighborhood,,
several of the school children have.
1sbeen cut on account Of eieknesss
among them. E
Mrs. Mamie Agner had as her
weekend guests, Mrs. Martin
and daughter, Miss Cora, also Mrs.
George Agner from Blythe, Ga.
Miss Mamie Bussey is conva-
lescing from her recent sickness,
and hopes to soon return to her du-
ties at Limestone.
Mr.. It. w. Lamb is enjoying a
visit in South Georgia, and will ar
tend State Fair in Florida this
week.
Mr.. jamie Hamilton, accompanied
by his pretty sisters Misses Marie,
and Maude, visited at Edgefeld last
weekend.
Mrs. j. T. Grifis contemplates a
mission study class for her sun
beams.
Mrs. Maggie Gritfis has invited
our Social Circle to meet in her
room, which has been accepted with
much pleasant anticipation, for we
have missed her presence. She con-
tinues to improve some, and can
sit up now.
Mrs. Thurmond has envited US
to meet with her Circle on the sth
of March at Mrs. James Reardens
home. We hope some of the ladies
can attend.

Interest in Revival Services
Increasing.

The Holcomb meeting is assum-
ing larger and larger proportions
each day. Though only a few SER
vices have been held the interest
has broadened and deepened until
the entire town and community is
beginning to share in the enthusias-
tic expectancy of gracious revival:
The crowds have been large, and
the promise is, that still larger
crowds are going to hear Mr.. Hol-
comb before the meetiIgs7 continue
many days.
On Tuesday night the speaker
held the attention of packed house
on the subject, "Over the Top"
Many expressed a desire to be done
with sin and to enlist in the service
of righteousness at the close OF the
service.
The night services are to be held
hereafter in the Baptist church,
while the morning service is to be
held in the Methodist church.
A steering committee has been
appointed to direct the meeting, ar
range places and hours for preach
ing, prayer meetings, special ser
vices, and in general to direct the
campaign. The following men
have this work in charge:
DR.. Z. P. Jones and B. B. Jones,
from the Baptist church; Rev. E.
c. Bailey and I. H. Rainsford,
from the Presbyterian church; Rev.
r. G. Shannonhouse and L. w.
Cheatham, from the Episcopal
church; Rev. A. L. Gunter and
Hon. B. f. Nicholson, from the
Methodist church.
Afternoon prayer meetings are
being conducted in various sections
of the town. The ladies have a
committee consisting of the follow
ing persons who direct all home
prayer meetings for the ladies':
Mrs. J. /. Minis, Mrs. w. L. Dun
ovant, Mrs. T, II, Rainsford, Mrs.
C. E. May, Mrs. l.. P. Smith and
Mrs. r. G. Shannonhouse. These
prayer services are held at FOO each
afternoon in various sections of the
town.
The men are meeting each after
noon at $3.50 o'clock in stores and
Office buildings about the public
square for short prayer service.
One very helpful and commenda,
ble feature of Mr.. Holcomb's work
is his visits to the public school
each morning, where he talks at the
chapel hour. Short MONDAY meet
ings are also being held at the .Addi-
son Mills.
On next Sunday afternoon at $3.50
service for men is being planned.
Mr.. Holcomb is known as mans
man, and great things are in store
for the men of Edgeheld and COM
munity. Every man who can do so
should be on hand. Mr.. Holcomb's
subject for this occasion will be
David, the Awful Sinner
The steering committee will an
nource the place of meeting later
in the week.
Mr.. Holcomb is not only a
preacher of power and effectiveness,
but is also an efficient choir master.
The congregational singing is a
pleasing feature of every service.
If you want to hear a simple, di-
rlct, honiletic gospel sermon, dellv-
cred in spirit and power, then you
want to hear Walt Holcomb. Sew
eral people who have heard Billy
Sunday, say Holcomb is another
Sunday. Our town is fortunate in
having such a man for meeting,
and we trust great and lasting good
will result.
