Death Of Little Child.

At II o'clock on Tuesday morning
the death angel came into the home
of Mrs. w. S. Cogburn at their home
in Greenwood and took away the lit
tie baby, one and and a half years
of age, little Scott Sheppard Cog
burn. The little boy had not been
strong from birth but the loving
friends and parents had hoped that
strength would come with years. This
was not to be and each day the love
of the parents became more and more
devoted. As they were called upon to
watch him through several illnesses,
their hearts grew more tender for
this little one.
On Wednesday morning the little
body accompanied by the family, eX-
cept the mother, who was not physl-
cally able to take the long drive,
was brought to Edgefeld and placed
in the family cemetery. Many kind
friends added their tears to those of
the family and beautiful floral tri-
butes expressed the love and esteem
of many kind and loving hearts.

Miss Tompkins' Entertainment

On Friday evening last Miss Ruth
Tompkins gave a very unique and
charming entertainment entitled
"The Follies of 1915" This consisted
OF various dances, songs, marches,
ETC., by children and grown-ups OF
Edgefeld. The many dances by the
little children as well as the other
dances delighted the audience tho
roughly AID a group of chorus girls
gave it |. appearance of a real show.
A splendid march was given by the
Boy Scouts who give promise OF
some day becoming fine soldiers.
Although the weather was so bad
there was a fairly large audience and
over $500 was made, which, after
expenses were paid, was turned over
to the local Red Cross chapter.
On the whole this was a most sue
cessful entertainment and Miss Temp
kins deserves great credit for under
taking this patriotic service.

Back From France.

Lieutenant T. B. Greneker arrived
in Edgefeld early this morning, hav-
ing come direct from the front line
trenches in France via New York. 1t
is needless to say that he was very
warmly greeted when he set foot on
Edgefeld soil again. Lieut.. Greneker
went overseas in april and after
spending about five months there IN
active service he has been sent back
to the States to train American SOL
diers. This is a distinct compliment to
him. Lieut.. Greneker volunteered as
a private early in the summer of
1917 and has been steadily promoted.
He will yet go higher and higher.
After spending a short time here with
his mother, Mrs. Halle N. Greneker,
he will report to Camp Sewer where
he has been assigned.

EdgeGeld Sustains Heavy Loss

A-NS
After more than - years of faith
full service in Edgefeld as an educa-
tor of rare value and ability, Major
T. J. Lyon has left us for a larger
field of service, having accepted the
position as commandment OF the Bailey
Military Institute of Greenwood. He
deeply regretted to leave Edgefild
and would not have done so had he
not felt that his military training
was needed by the government in
this crisis. Mr.. Lyon will be greatly
missed in our social, intellectual and
religious life.
The trustees acted with character

PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Continued from page One.)

Council of Defense. After stressing
education in all Of it's phases, DR..
| Smith spoke at some length on taxes,
stating that the day of low taxes has
passed forever. His address showed
much thought and careful prepare
ton. Governor-Elect r. A. Cooper
next spoke. He too made education
the keynote of his address, declaring
that he favored a seven months term
for every school in South Carolina
and a compulsory education law with
teeth to it that can be effectively en-
forced. Mr.. Cooper's address was
timely and forceful. Mr.. Crane was
also invited to speak again Thursday
night and thoroughly captivated the
large audience.
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. De-
Camp arranged an automobile trip
to Cowpens battle ground, about 13
miles from Gaffney, the road travers-
ing a fine farming country. The bat
tie ground is marked with a crude
sort of stone monument, from which
the Stars and Stripes waved. Con-
gress should provide a more suitable
and more enduring monument for
Cowpens. Soon after the party arriv-
ed at Cowpens, Col. Rion Mckissick,
editor of the Greenville News and
leading historian of the Press Associ-
alton delivered a most splendid ad-
dress on the Battle of Cowpens,
which is a valuable contribution to
the historic literature of South Car
DINA. Capt. Peat, a Canadian officer
came over from Camp WadsWorth to
hear the address,, and he, together
with the newspaper men present, was
very lavish in praise of the address.
Thursday afternoon an automobile
trip was taken to several points OF
interest in Cherokee county, one be-
ing the great electric power plant on
the Broad river which supplies lights
for Gaffney and S%partanburg and
power for a score of cotton mills IN
the Piedmont. Cherokee county has
as fine farming land as can be found
in the State. 1t is not as level as some
agricultural land in the lower coun-
ties but it is fertile and responds to
cultivation.
Mr.. DeCamp planned an automo-
bile trip to Chimney Rock and Bat
Cave, fifty miles away, for Friday
but the heavy rains Thursday night
made this trip impossible.
Wednesday afternoon the Press
party were invited to visit the mod
ern plant of Mr.. Wheat where raw
cotton is spun, woven into table dam
ask, bleached and beautifully wrap
ped ready for the retail merchants
counter. We had no idea there was
such a complete plant south OF New
England. In fact it is said to be the
only plant in this country that takes
raw cotton and converts it into
beautiful mercerized damask.
Gaffney has a splendid public
school system. Each morning four OF
the editors were invited to visit the
four large public schools and address
the children. 1t fell to u lot We'd
nesday morning to visit the West End
school, where we found among the
teachers Mrs. Gaffney who spent
some time in E~dgcfeld with her hus-
band about IS years ago. Mr.. Calf
ney is in the insurance business.
We were all l%ong-faced and de-
pressed when the hour arrived Fri
day morning to leave Ed DeCamp
and Gaffney. The 1918 Press meeting
in Gaffney will afford pleasant men,
cries for many years to come.
