VIII Lose Splendid Citizen.

While we rejoice over the bargain
which Mr.. Lem Harling has secured
through purchasing a farm of some
thing over 200 acres within five miles
of Millen, Ca, for $1,000 cash, yet
we deeply regret to lose such a good
citizen. The soil and character of the
land is similar to that of the Trenton
section. The farm which Mr.. Harling
has purchased is located SIS miles
from Augusta, within n and one
quarter miles of the Augusta South
ern railroad. It is near a good school
and within half a mile and two miles
of Methodist and Baptist churches,
respectively. MIR. Harling has sold
his Berea farm to Mr.. Frank Watson
and will move to his new Georgia
home the latter part of December.
His removal will be a distinct loss
to Edgefeld county, and particularly
to Berea church and community.

Mr.. w. A. Strom is the local rep
resentative Of the Standard Oil
Company and Mr.. E.. G. Hahn I'M
der his direction has charge of the
deliveries. When Mr.. Hahn opened
the tank to measure the contents in
some unaccountable way the gas
ignited. Mr.. +. A. Hightower at
once ordered the hose of the Addi-
son Mills turned on the blaze and it
was smothered before any serious
damage resulted. Mr.. Hahn was
slightly burned about the face,
practically no other injury result

Save Your Sacks.

Judging from the hundreds, and
possibly thousands, of sacks that
have been sold in Edgefeld during
the past few weeks, farmers have
been rather %neglectful of their qua
no sacks and crocus bags of all kinds.
It is very probable that many OF
these sacks were stolen or picked up
about the farm where they were ap-
parently thrown aside. With the pros
pect of cotton sheets selling next fall
at SIPS, costing merchants s1.OO
in large lots, it behooves farmers to
save their sacks. Four sacks of aver
age size sewn together will make a
good cotton sheet. These four sacks
would probably bring the seller now
about 40 or so cents, while next fall,
in the form of cotton sheets, they
will cost him SIPS.

New Church Building.

The members of Berea church have
decided to erect a new, larger and
more modern house of worship, the
werk to begin sometime. during the
summer. The old building will be
sold standing to the highest bidder.
All of the lumber has been sawed,
having been donated by Mrs. Jane
Harling. She was one of the charter
members of Berea church and has
always been one of its most gener-
Gus and most loyal supporters. Mrs.
Harling also gave the church two ad
ditional acres of land which makes
it possible for the new building to
be erected nearer the public road
which passed near the church.

never have to explain why and as we
have found out, these were mere

BELGIUM. It is too horrible to think
of. The atrocities of the Germans to-

conception of the human mind. Yet
above the din of battle we have heard
the cry of the orphan, the widow and
the homeless. We are going to their
rescue. Could we have stood within
the call and not answered?
Belgium is not the only country
from which we have heard the cry
for help; but Poland, Armenia and
others have asked for our aid.
We are fighting chiefly, as our
great President, Mr.. Wilson, has put
it. ito make the world safe for de-
mocracy." We fight to set free Bel
GUM and to set free the other small
countries or, in other words, we are
fighting to make this old world a
decent place to live in. We are not
only fighting for the liberty Of 9TH

giving their life's blood for this prin-
ciple, Democracy" For Democracy
now and ever. We are fighting
against principalities, against powers
against rulers of the darkness OF this
world and against spiritual wicked
ness in high places.

Culbreath, Lydia Brunson, Annie
velma Cogburn. The annual address
will be delivered by DR.. Reed Smith
of the University of South Carolina.
DR.. Smith is a young and vigorous
speaker. No one should fail to hear
him.
All exercises will begin promptly
at 9 o'clock. The public is given a
cordial invitation. The war is occu-
plying rightly the predominant place
in everybody's mind, but let US not
forget our school, a support OF 1t IS
strengthening the inner line OF de-
fence. The way to show your support
and your interest in your W boys
and girls is to attend their exercises.

While Mr.. S. E. Morgan was en- route
to Columbia Sunday to visit his son,
MIR. Egbert Morgan, at Camp Jack
son, being accompanied by his fam
lily, his large touring car turned tur-

Tho most serious accident was sus-

was broken near the wrist. Mr.. Nor
gan's friends are delighted that they
escaped without more serious injury.
Mr.. Morgan proved himself to be
game. IN a short time after the ac-
eident, he was again at the wheel,
driving his ear to Columbia as Sc
renely as if nothing had occurred.

Why the United States Entered
the Worldwide War.

On April g., 1917, the United States
of America declared war on Germa-
ny. There are many reasons why we
took up arms and began fighting the
German Huns, side by side, with our
brother countries, France and Eng
land, but I will only try to state a
few reasons why we entered the war.
Could we have kept out of this
struggle? I say, "No." The Huns,
who are barparians, comparatively
speaking, sank the "Lusitania" with
American citizens on board. We did
not 20 to war then but there were

twenty-five hundred head of lambs,

Mr.. Hagey in discussing the sheep
and lamb situation in Maury county
this morning stated that there were
practically few lambs and fat sheep
left in the county. From present in
dieations there will not be as many
lambs marketed from this county as
was first anticipated, but this is due
largely to the fact that many of the
growers have picked out their best
eve lambs and are holding them for
stock ewes for next year.
This is mighty good for the county
and is right in line with the desires
and wishes of the government.

BUILDINGS ON FARM.

With blueprints and other plans
ready, C. A. Wilson, specialist from
the division of extension, University
of Tennessee, is in Columbia to make
arrangements for the construction of
large beef breeding barn on the Mid
die Tennessee experiment station.
1t is not known when the construc-
ton Of this barn Will begin, because
building conditions are so unsettled
that it Is impossible to calculate with
any certainty on contracts. But when
this building is erected it will be 81
by 81 feet, with two stories, 46 feet
from the peak to the ground. 1t will
take care Of so head of mature cat
tie, or breeding herd of so head, be-
sides having enormous storage ca
pacity for hay and other feed. A
large silo will be constructed in con-
nection with the barn.
This will be one of the permanent
buildings OF the station and will be
located just west of the old Culberson
home.
