Spring Cleaning.

The very severe winter through
which we have just passed was not
altogether without its blessings.
The low temperature which pre-
vailed nearly two months will doubt
less improve sanitary conditions.
Many disease germs and harmful
insects were destroyed. Now if we
will begin early aud improve the
sanitary conditions of the town
generally, the health of the commu-
nifty during the hot months that are
to follow will be greatly improved.
In order to accomplish this end there
should be a general spring cleaning
from the centre to the circumfer-
ence. Now if this is done, it will
not be done.by the town authorities,
but by the individual home owners.
If the entire premises surrounding
every home is well cleaned and put
in order then the entire town will!be
clean. Mr.. Hightower is having
every nook and corner of the mill
village thoroughly renovated and
whitewashed. Now let's continue
the work in every part of the town,
taking up the good example set by
Mr.. Hightower. With almost g
perfect system of natural drainage,
there is no good reason why Edge
fields health record should not be
among the top of the list.
Make beginning by cleaning up
your own premises.

The New Hotel.

We believe that Mr.. w. A.
Strom, who, as President Wilson
would say, is a forward-looking
(progressive) citizen, will soon sup
ply one of the towns greatest needs
by erecting a modern hotel on the
beautiful lot which he recently pur-
chased facing the public square.
Whatever Mr.. Strom does he does
we'll. Hence we are looking for
building soon to be erected on the
vacant corner that will be distinct
ornament to Edgefeld for many
years to come.

Patriotic Mass Meeting in Court
House.

Through the efforts of the Wo-
mems Liberty Loan Committee, of
which Miss Elizabeth Rainsford is
the capable and enthusiastic chair.
man, patriotic mass meeting was
held in the courthouse Saturday af-
ternoon at three o'clock. In spite
of the fact that a similar meeting
was held at Johnston at the same
hour, which meeting was also we'll
attended, a very large number of
persons, both ladies and gentlemen,
gathered to hear the speakers. The
meeting was presided over by Hon.
B. E. Nicholson, who requested
Rev. A. L. Gunter to open the
meeting with prayer.
The first speaker presented was
Mr.. A. E. Padgett, who, instead of
speaking extemporaneously, read a
comprehensive and exceedingly in.
terestiug address upon the world-war,
closing with an earnest appeal to
the audience to purchase Liberty
Bonds.
The second speaker was Ex-Gov.
John G. Sheppard, who has all three
of his sons in the military service,
two of them being now in France.
Gov. Sheppard was at his best on
this occasion, and his eloquence
kindled anew the fires of patriotism,
making each one of his hearers re-
solve to do his or her utmost in
winning the great war. He like
wise stressed the urgent necessity of
our people subscribing largely for
the third Liberty Loan Bonds.
The last speaker was one who,
although this was his first visit to
Edge6eld, yet his name was famil-
lar to hundreds of Edgefeld people
who have read from day to day his
articles on agriculture which have
appeared in the Augusta papers.
We refer to Mr.. N. L. Willet of
Augusta, who was guest in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas H.
Rsinsford while in Edgefeld. Mr..
Willet's theme was Soldiers of De-
mocracy." Besides giving many in
teresting facts in connection with
the war, Mr.. Willet's very valuable
address contained many timely ad"
monitions and much originality of
thought. 1t was declared by many
to be the best address of the kind
ever delivered in Edge6eld. Not
withstanding the fact that Mr.. Will
let read his address from manu-
script, he held the closet attention
of the audience from the opening to
the closing sentence. There were
many expressions of Indebtedness to
Miss Elizabeth Rainsford for invit-
ing this distinguished gentleman
from Augusta to deliver an address
on this occasion.
The patriotic rally was held on
the anniversary of Americas enter
ing the war, and the meeting gave
an ;mnetus to the Liberty Loan
drive. The ladies who compose
the Woman's Liberty Loan Com
mittee acted wisely in arranging the
meetino, and have followed it up
with nersonal work, which has been
attended with very gratifying re-
suits.
