A crowded auditorium greeted Alma

The program was opened by q series
of solo numbers by Signor Stefano on

that of which the piano forte itself is
capable. Miss Gluck's songs were
charming in their revelation Of person.

Beloved Son Claimed by Death.

Among the recently bereaved
homes in the county was that of Mr..
and Mrs. J. w. Morgan, the death
angel having entered this home Fri
day afternoon, March l, and claim
ed the idol of the home, J. T. Nor
gan, their twelve-year-old son. He
had not been strong for the past six
months and when seized with pneu-
monia succumbed at once. j. T."
was the apple of his parents eyes
and they entertained great hope and
ambition for his future. He was a
boy of unusual promise, having
reached the age when he would soon
have developed into strong and vig-
orous manhood. The God who gave
him to his fond parents had some
plan for this young life which the
finite eye can not now discern. The
Advertiser extends sincere sympathy
to the members of the bereaved
home circle.
The funeral was conducted at Gil
gal Sunday, March 9, by Rev. P.
B. Lanham.

Putting First Things First.

While the city of Columbia has made
rapid strides along educational, indus
trial and commercial lines during the
past decade, be it said to the lasting
credit of our capital city the moral
and spiritual development of the peo-
pie has kept pace with their material
prosperity. The people Of Columbia
realize that the development ot q
strong, high-minded citizenship Is OF
as great Importance in building city
as is the construction of railroads.
skyscrapers, foundries and factories.
Having established the Young Mems
Christian Association on permanent
basis, attention has now been turned
to better equipping the Young "o-
mems Christian Association OF Colum-
bia. These two organizations are
among the city's leading characters
builders among the young people and
deserve the heartiest and most loyal
support of those who desire to see the
city prosper in the largest ana most
enduring sense. 1t augurs well 1or
any city or community when those who
direct affairs learn to put first things
first, as Columbians are doing.

By request, Senator B. E. Nlchol-
son appeared before the board and
went carefully over the tax situa-
ton, giving the result of conferences
between the Legislature and tax COM
mission. He expressed the opinion
that if the assessments in this coun-
ty were made on the basis announced
by the commission, which is AZ per
cent of the market value of prop
erty, that the final result would be
satisfactory to the commission.
Edgefeld county has in the past re-
turned its property for taxation
some higher than the average coun-
ty in the State. Certainly this
county compares favorably with a
vast majority of the counties.
After Mr.. Nicholson retired the
board discussed fully and freely
practically every phase of the tax
question as it relates directly to our
people, and adopted a resolution,
without dissenting vote, to the ef-
feet that all rea! estate be returned
for taxation at AZ per cent of the
value of the property in 1915. 1t
was not contemplated by the tax
commission in ordering real estate
returned on this basis that the pres
ent inflated value would be adopted
as basis for taxation. Much of
the property in the clay section of
the county, and some in other Sec
tions, has been assessed as high as
40 per cent for a number of years.
1t was also agreed that all per-
sonal property would also be re-
turned at ~ per cent of the market
value.
The board adjourned to meet
again on the frs, Monday in April.

Senator Tillman Announces Candidacy.

The people of South Carolina have
an opportunity OF aiding the admins
traton in Washington in conducting
the war against the greatest military
power or machine the world has ever
seen by the reelection of Senator
Tillman, who has announced his candi-
dacy in an open letter to the people
which appears in tull in this issue. On
the other hand, by electing some per-
son who is inexperienced in nationa
legislation and who not only has no
influence in Washington but, perchance,
is openly antagonistlc to the present
administration, this country will be
immeasurably. Handicapped in conduct
the war
Senator Tillman, besides beng chair
man of the Committee on Naval At
fairs, wields a wonderful influence in
Congress and is in close touch with the
President. These matters should not
be disregarded in crisis like the pres
ent. 1t IS useless at this time to re-
count his achievements in public life.

Men wear patched pants but we

Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1918-03-13

What most concerns our people now
is the matter of winning the war and
by continuing Senator Tillman in his
present position we, the people of
South Carolina and of the nation at
large, are promoting our own interests
as well as enabling Senator Tillman to
realize worthy ambition, that of "dy-
ing in harness. F."
At time of such unusual stress and
strain, taxing to the utmost our ma
tional resources, individuals who aspire
to fill public office should lay aside
their selfish interests and ambition for
the public good. Let the men serve
without opposition who are potent fac
tors in winning the war. Senator Till
man, occupying the position that he
does, should be regarded IN this light.
All aspirants should stand aside.
We believe that Senator Tillman
will be reelected by large majority.
