Home Demonstration Meeting
at Trenton.

In company with Misses Patti Ma
jor, Ruth DeLoach, Laura Bailey,
and Mrs. Major we went over to
Trenton one day last week and en-
ioyed a very helpful meeting of the
Trenton Home Demonstration club.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. ]. D. Mathis, where on the
cool and shady piazza all the ladies
were seated. 1t was great pleasure
to meet with many kind friends and
to hear a splendid address on sugar
and clothing conservation given by
Miss Laura Bailey of Rock Hill who
is in the employment of the govern
ment for this. purpose, being a grad
uate of Winthrop college, and spec
ialist in the domestic art department..
Miss Bailey is very attractive as
we'll as practical speaker along these
lines. She gave an ocular demonstra-
ton of the making of a sugarless,
flourless cake, made of barley flour
(bought of L. T. May), and mixed
with Karo corn syrup instead of
sugar. She recommnded the white
corn syrup very highly, as substi-
tute for sugar which is becoming a
rarity.
Miss Major is making success of
the Home Demonstration meetings,
which are becoming more and more
popular as the people feel the need
of conservation and practical advice.

day school department, of the work
done on Anti Cigarette Sunday.
At the Baptist Sunday school, the
superintendent, Mr.. j. H. Cantelou,
made a splendid address on the evils
of the cigarette and a cartoon was
placed on the blackboard by Miss
Eliza Minis which made the lesson
very effective.
At the Methodist and Presbyteri-
an schools respectively talks were
made by the superintendent, Hon.
B. E. Nicholson and Mr.. W. L. Dun
ovant, Sr. In the absence of the lead
ers of the Episcopal Sunday school
some of the children came to the
Baptist Sunday school and took part.
Twenty-three pledges were signed by
the children against the use of the
cigarette. These. pledges will be- made
into red, white and blue flag, the
goal being 1000 pledges, and exhib-
tied at the State w. C. T. U. conven-
ton in Marion, October IS.
Fifteen comfort bags were report
ed as sent since last meeting.
The officers were elected as follows
for the coming year: President, Mrs.
J. L. Minis; vice president, Mrs. T. H.
Rainsford; recording secretary, Mrs.
j. w. Stewart; corresponding secre-
tary, Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, Sr.;

\ very pleasant incident in connec-
ton with the meeting was visit, on
invitation, from the boys of the
Georgia Industrial Home, 16 of them
who came in their truck, played at
the gate and then came in to be
served to ice cream and cake. 1t was
great pleasure to the union to thus
welcome and cheer these fatherless
and motherless boys who showed
their appreciation by partaking of
the refreshments very eagerly, as
we'll as by their expressions of ap-
probation. The union was glad OF
this opportunity to show hospitality
to the stranger and the orphan.
The refreshments were ice cream
and cake containing neither sugar
nor wheat flour, and everybody was
asking for the recipe.

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Greatly Enjoyed the Woman's
Missionary Union at Horns
Creek. Cotton Opening
Rapidly.

After attending the w. M. U. at
Horns Creek among the hospitable
people, and spending such a. pleas
ant night, and almost the second
night with Mr.. and Mrs. Fair, we
arrived home almost mid night
Thursday night, tired and sleepy.
! feel my inability to express the
pleasure of being able 10 attend
such a grand meeting as this was.
Conducted by those grand christian
ladies so ably. And to hear such
splendid reports from each society
of the W. NJ. S. Y. w. A. and
Sunbeam's makes .me~feel that we
all have so much to thank God for.
And try to excel what was done
this past year. 1t is wonderful
what the women and children have
accomplished. Besides the gifted
ladies, Mesdames Minis, Cogburn,
Tillman, Fair, Davis, and others.
Miss Gladys Lyon, deserves the
highest praise for the splendid ex-
ercises conducted by her, and her
Sunbeam band. AS Mrs. Tillman
said, Gladys is wonderfully gifted.
The children trained by her did
beautifully. Mr.. Sheppard and Mr..
Kennedy's addresses were very
much enjoyed by ALL. Mr.. Kenne-
dy Is doing great work at Camp
Jackson, for which, we should re-
joice. He is fine speaker, earnest,
and to the point. Just the right
man in the right place. This was
truly a union meeting, for there
were persons from far and near,
greeting each other, renewing ac-
quaintances formed at other meet
ings, or in childhood. Pleasant
recollections of the days that are
gone, come crowding up, but we
cannot talk them all over just
here. s.s sl.t &
This week the Association meets
at Red Oak Grove, and we would
love to attend that but will not be
able to get there The ginning
season has opened and will keep
our "chaufferer" busy with his gin,
so he can't take us up to the Asso-
citation.
The cotton is white in the fields
and being picked and glnned very
fast. The continued drought has
injured it greatly, as we'll as the
corn, and the wells. 1t really is q
serious thing, the wells are all dry
ing up as well as all the branches.
People and stock all suffer. We
had pretty little rain Saturday
afternoon, but need several days of
it, to put water in the branches and
wells to do any good:

The Second Primary Election

The Advertiser publishes this week
the official vote for Edgefeld county
as tabulated by the County Demo
cratic Executive committee last
Thursday. AS some changes have
been made in the statement, it rs
worth while to study the votes that
were cast in the different boxes for
the several candidates. The official
count did not change very materially
the total number of votes that any
candidate received. There will be no
second race for any county office but
our people should vote Tuesday, Nov.
10, in the second primary for candi-
dates for State Office, the following
being in the second race:
United States senator: Thomas H.
Peoples, Columbia, and W. P. Pol
lock, Cheraw.
Attorney general: Claud N. Sapp,
Columbia, and S. NJ. Wolfe, Ander-
son.
Commissioner of agriculture: B.
Harris and w. D. Garrison, both of
Anderson.
Railroad commissioner: H. H. Ar
mold, Spartanburg, and A. A. Rich
ardson, Columbia.
Congressman Fourth district: Hor-
ace L. Bomar and S. j. Nichols, Spar

Red Cross Notes.

Two large warehouses for storage
of supplies of American prisoners in
Germany have just been secured in
Copenhagen, Denmark, and Renens,
Switzerland, according to cables re-
ceived by the Bureau of Prisoners
Relief, American Red Gross.
In each of these warehouses the
Red Cross will assemble at once food,
clothing, comforts and enough to-
bacco to maintain 5000 Americans
for six months, if they should be cap
tured.
The warehouse at Copenhagen,
which is on the water front as we'll
as the railroad, would be used in sup
plying those at camps in North Ger
many; the warehouse at Renens Sc
cured through the cordial coopera-
ton of the City of Lausanne, is sup
Elementary to the great central Red
Cross prisoners pantry at berne'
where are stored full supplies for
10000 men for six months. From
these warehouses go to each prisoner
weekly, twenty pounds of food. Cloth
ing and other supplies are furnished
as he may need them.
In reief work for American SOL
diers and sailors, the Red Cross acts
as distributing agency for the War
and Navy Departments, which either
supply the goods or reimburse the
Red Cross for the material withdrawn
from it's own stocks. The Red Cross,
however, maintains all civilian pris-
oners of war and also sends to SOL
diers and sailors many comforts and
certain luxuries not issued by tho
authorities.

Woman'|s Christian Temper
ance Union.

Monday afternoon an unusually
interesting meeting of the W. c. T.
u. took place at the home of Mrs.
Mamie N. Tillman, the beautiful out
of doors being selected as the back
ground for the assemblage.
Chairs were placed out under the
trees and here all ages were seated,
the best part being performed by the
children. The piazza was used as a
stage, and from here some of the
G. T. U. babies were introduced.
iiFFiirstsin age was Samuel Francis Lo-
gan who was presented by the union
with a Baby Book, Mrs. W. B. Cog
burn, one of the superintendent of
Flower Mission department., perform
This pleasant service for the un-
ion. Francis and Raymond Douglas
Rogers were also presented, their
mother Mrs. Raymond Rogers being
a faithful member of the Edgefield
union. 1t was the custom of the W.
C. T. U. to present each baby with
silver spoon, but the National w.
C. T. u. has announced that neither
materials nor workmanship can be
procured any more during the period
of the war so the baby books are
substituted.
After the introduction of babies
and visitors who were present, the
patriotic play entitled "Love and
Loyalty" was given by the children
under the direction of Miss Gladys
Lyon. The piazza was decorated in
"Old Glory" and the French flag and
flowers. The playlet began by four
little boys costumed in overalls and
straw hats and holding hoes who
demonstrated their value to Uncle
Sam as farmers and gardeners. These
were Munroe Swearingen, Hansford
Minis, John Curran Feltham and Ged-
dings Arthur.
Then came four little sunbonnet
girls with sprinkling cans who sang
a patriotic song to the tune, "There's
Long, Long Trail A-Winding."
These little girls were Mary and Mar
tha Thurmond, Margaret Strom and
Rebecca Arthur who also offered
their services to Uncle Sam. Then
came the cooks and we all know that
"Civilized man cannot live without
cooks" These were three very little
girls, Maizie Kemp, Almina Swearln-
gen and Miriam Anderson, one with
a spoon, one with a sitter, the other
carrying pan, saying that they were
"for Mr.. Hoover, and would surely
maneuver to save up food for Uncle
SAM" And then came the Red Gross
knitters each carrying {. bag and ma
nipulating their needles on genuine
articles. They were Rachel Arthur,
Mary Lyon, Julia Strom and Ruth
Hart who sang "Comin' Thro' the
Rye" to a knitting song.
When all had shown their patriot
ic zeal for Uncle Sam, Jack Feltham,
he came out on the piazza accompa-
MED by Aunt Columbia, Eleanor
Minis, and thanked the children, but
said there was another cause which
needed assistance and announced
that Aunt Columbia would tell a
story for them. She related the sad
fate of the little French orphans
across the sea, and asked the w. G.
T. U. to help, and at the close OF the
play the French orphan box was
passed around by Mary and Martha
Thurmond and $3.50 was collected
for this fund.
A report was made by Mrs. J. B.
