Addison Mill's Good Record.

In many cotton mill villages
throughout the State there have been
a number of deaths from influenza
since the disease first appeared but
up to this time there has not been a
single death at the Addison Mill. Not
a case of pneumonia developed among
those who were victims of influenza.
The good record made at the Addison
Mill is doubtless largely due to the
greatly improved sanitary condition
of the mill, which is due to the activ-
ity and alertness of Mr>T. A. High
tower, the very capable superintend-
ent. The Addison mill village is one
of the cleanest to be found any
where and further improvements of
the grounds and buildings continue.

Two EdgeheId Boys Wounded.

AS a greater number of our boys
are assigned duty along the firing
line, our people naturally grow more
and more anxious about their safety.
The casualty list is eagerly watched
from day to day. Two of our boys
were recently wounded but so far as
we are informed, their names were
not on the casualty list as published
in the papers.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Grifis received
a card from their son, Hezzie Grifis,
one day last week stating that he had
been slightly wounded but no details
were given. The card stated that he
would soon be discharged, presumab-
ly from the hospital.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. H. Prescott re-
ceived letter from their son, Stobo
Prescott, stating that he had been
slightly wounded in the leg, but that
he was receiving the best of atten-
ton and would be able to be out
again in few days. Neither of these
young men were seriously wounded
and both are probably by this time
entirely we'll again. The prayers of
our people are offered for the safe
guarding and protection of our boys
who are doing, not their bit, but
their best at the front. Does it not
behoove us to do our BEST here at
home, responding generously to ev-
cry call that is made for their well
fare.

Sunbeam band, and was the first Sun
beam to shine on the other shore,
since this band was taken in charge
by Mrs. Hatcher Is years ago. The
Sunbeams sent floral tribute to
place on the little white casket, and
her playmates of the street on which
she lived also sent flowers.
The body was tenderly laid to rest
on Thursday morning in Mount of
Olives cemetery, Rev. W. S. Brooke
conducting the service. Softly was
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus" sung and
the little form was laid to rest amid
surrounding mass of flowers.
Mr.. Powell Harrison left on Mon-
day for Camp Wadsworth. On Satur-
day before his departure he was given
one of the comfort bags by the w.
C. T. u, the department of soldiers
and sailors being the special depart
ment this year. The prayers and good
wishes of all his friends follow him.
Miss Ruby Cant and Mr.. Cant of
Leesville were visitors here the last
of the week.
Misses Eva and Jessie Rushton will
resume school duties at Hume next
week, the former being principal of
the school.
Mrs. Joseph Cox will go to Green
vile soon, where her husband is sta
toned in camp, and will spend a
while.

one of your friends and neighbors to

Red Cross Activities.

One thing in regard to the Christ
mas boxes that I failed to- speak of
last week was that everyone who
sends box must not fail to put his
or her name on it as sender. This is
important and came to our chairman
as additional information which he
has not had opportunity to give the
auxiliaries. Of course the boxes for
our soldiers in this country are not
subject to the same stringent rules
as those for overseas.
The boxes for our sailors may
weigh 29 pounds and should be pack
ed in strongly bound wooden boxes
with either hinged or screw tops.
They have to be inspected in New
York and these tops will facilitate
matters. -'1'-=1:',
The postage for the boxes for our
boys in France is 20 cents to Hobo
ken, N. ]. This is all the individuals
are expected to pay. The government
sends them the rest of the way. The
labels from our boys are coming in
very we'll now, and as we have until
November goth to send them off it is
hoped that every boy will get his
box.
The allotment of wool has arrived
and the auxiliaries who have knitters
among them are requested to get
their quota. We are asked for 63
sweaters and IA pairs of socks. Mrs.
J. H. Nicholson is in charge of the
knitting and will be glad to give the
new directions. Socks are not receiv-
ed unless knit according to specifica-
tions. They are to be absolutely
smooth on the inside, without sim
gle knot.

 Appf unxr

Says they destroy efficiency but can be lifted right
 out now.
 Many large retail Establishments now insist that every employee have confess feet, because one can not appear pleasant before patron or be fully efficient when the brain is constantly remindful of these painful pests.
 The simplest method known to get relief is to apply Ia few drops of freezcne directly upon the tender aching corn, which promptly relieves the soreness and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out without pain.
 A quarter ounce of freeZone will cost very little at any drug store but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 This drug is Gummy but dries in moment and seems to just shrivel up the corn without infloming or even irritating the surrounding tis- sue or skin.
