Those Golden Stars.

In every home where flies the ser
vice flag with a golden star. and In
every home to which the golden stal
may come, mother and father and al
should read what Abraham Lincoln
wrote to a Civil War Mother:
81 have been shown in the files OF
the War Department a statement oil
the adjutant general of Massachu'
setts that you are the mother Of five
sons who died gloriously on the field
of battle. l feel how weak and fruit
less must be any words of mine which
should attempt to beguile you from
the grief of loss so overwhelming
But l cannot refrain from rendering
to YOU the consolation that be found
in the thanks of the republic they
died to save. / pray our Heavenly
Father may assuage the anguish OF
YOUR bereavement, and leave you on
ly the cherished memory of the loved
and the lost and the solemn pride
that must be yours to have laid SO
costly sacrifice upon the altar OF
freedom"

Edgeheld's First Victim.

Mrs. Eva W. QUITS received tel
egram Saturday from the authorities
in Washington stating that her son,
j. P. QUITS, who has been in Europe
with the marines for several months,
was missing in action. It is; inferred
feror this meager forTna atop that hh he
fell into the hands Of the Germans
as a prisoner. This is the first Edge
field county boy who has thus far
suffered at the hands of the enemy
or become prisoner. Our American
soldiers are proving themselves to be
brave and daring, and in their eager
ness to drive the Huns back it is prob
able that they go beyond the danger
line, or line of safety, without real
izing it.

The Outlook Encouraging.

Sitting by the window of one of
the coaches attached to the train
that was to carry the Tillman funeral
part back to Washington from Tren-
ton, Uncle Joe Cannon of Illinois
dean of the house and national fig
ure, declared that he did not think
the people of this section were in any
danger of starvation. He had observ-
ed the splendid crops in the fridge
section" The same thought occurred
to others who journeyed yesterday
to Trenton. Magnificent fields of cot
ton and corn are to be seen all along
the road from Columbia to Trenton.
Every home place has its garden, too,
and from the road it seemed that ev-
ry garden was planted to the limit.
The vegetables looked fresh and fine.
AS Uncle Joe says, there is no dan
ger of starvation in the ridge sec
ton" of South Carolina.-Columbia

Died in Harness.
charlotte Observer. }

In accordance with his expressed
wish, Senator Tillman died in har-
ness, his death closing his remark
able and picturesque career of al
most a quarter of century in con-
gress. While his friends and admirers
in South Carolina, Washington and
the nation at large had been prepared
to hear at any hour the unwelcome
news of his demise, the announce
ment that death had finally come to
him was received with sorrow by tens
of thousands in the Carolinas and
other states.
Senator Tillman always had his op-
ponents in political and other affairs
and even his enemies, but there was
much to admire in him even by those
who did not support him or indorse
always the measures which he advo-
Gated. His methods back in the early
days of his career, which won for
him Immediately upon his entrance
into the senate the nickname of The
Pitchfork Senator" were not alto
gether to the liking of large ele-
ment of thoughtful people whose
opinions are worth while, but even
many of these were forced to admire
his fighting qualities and to recog-
nize in him a man of ability, forceful
aggressive and even powerful AS the
wears passed the number of his
friel- is and admirers grew, and he
dew ed in the esteem and conf
dence of his fellow senators ard lead
ers of his party generally.
AS a whole, his career in the Unit
ed States senate has been one OF
much service to the nation, and eV-
erywhere there is regret that his ca
reer is ended at this period of the ma
tion's history, when men of large
caliber and patriotic mold, of expe-
rience and wisdom, men of keen in
sight into the. country's purposes and
plans in the world war, men who are
willing to follow the leadership OF
the nations spokesman, are much
needed in Washington.

Visit to Philippi.

Accompanied by DR.. B. F. Jones
and Master Luther Jones, the writer
went to Philippi church Sunday to
speak in the interest of the War Saw
ings Stamps, having been given this
assignment by the county chairman.
The crops all along the road between
Edgefeld and Philippi, almost with
out exception, are very fine. 1t ap-
pears that the acreage of corn is not
up to that of last year and the old
corn is probably not as fine, yet there
is much fine corn in this portion of
the county. The cotton is especially
fine for early in July and unless some
unfavorable conditions befall it be-
fore the harvesting season, a very
large yield of cotton will be made.
When we reached Philippi Sunday
School was in progress. Mr.. George
W. Scott is the popular and capable
superintendent. Immediately after
Sunday School the writer was given
the opportunity by the beloved pas
tor, Rev. A. C. Baker, to present the
War Savings Stamps. This cause had
been previously presented at Philip
pi, and the people of the three school
districts subscribed in the aggregate
about $4,000, which was very pa
triotic response.
Instead of the sermon being preach
ed by the pastor, it was preached by
Rev. John E. Jackson, son. of Mr..
Henry W. Jackson, who completed
his course in the seminary and has
been actively engaged in the minis
try for some time He has applied
for chaplaincy in the army and is
we'll endorsed for this special assign
ment. Mr.. Jackson preached very
earnest sermon, holding up the Chris
tian character of Robert E. Lee as
an ideal or model worthy of emula-
ton.
At the close of the sermon brief
conference was held, among other
matters the purchase of piano be-
ing considered. A committee was ap-
pointed to raise the necessary money.
The Edgefeld trio accepted an in
vitation from Mr.. Henry Jackson to
go to his home for dinner. A sump7,
saous feast was beautifully served
and watermelon and peaches were
also served later in the afternoon.
The brief stay in this very hospit-
able home and the entire day were
greatly enjoyed, making the occasion
one of pleasant memories.

Heauy Fall of Snotu

Residents of Holbrook awoke Thursday morning to find the ground covered with a mantle of snow to a. depth of about 10 inches. Snow be- gan falling here Wednesday afternoon and continued un- til early Thursday morning. The heaviest fall in this sec tion of the state was in the vicinity of Holbrook. Only about 4 inchess fell at Flag staff, and about the same amount in the mountains south of Snowflake.
 This snow was the first of the winter season, and is the only precipitation since last August. The winter has been exceptionally mild, and while the snow gives the country the appearance of winter, the temperture is mild and the white covering is rapidly disappearing.
 The snowstorm will be of great benefit in several ways and will result in little if any damage. The ground was greatly in need of moisture and the snow furnishes this moisture. Early blowing by farmers will result and work on the roads of the county can be pushed.
 Unless more snow falls and the weather turns cold livestock will not suffer, and in melting it will fill tanks that have been dry for a long time.

Tax Collector Here Next Week

Tax Collector Here Next Week
 In a communication re- ceived by this paper, Collec- tor of Internal Revenue, Louis T. Carpenter, announ- ces that a federal income tax officer will be sent into this county on January IA and will be here until Janu- ary 1919.
 Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made on forms provided for the pur- pose before March 1, 1918. Because agood many people don't understand the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the government is sending in this expert to do it for them. But the duty is on the tax payer to make himself known to the government. If he doesn't make return as required before March 1, he may have to pay a penal ty ranging from $20 to $1,- 900, pay a fine or go to jail.
 Of course, persons resid- ent in other counties may, if they want to, come and see the income tax man who will be at Holbrook.
 The Collector suggests that everybody start figur- ing up now his income and expenses so as to be ready with the figures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don't mean family expenses: money used to pay off the principal of a debt; new machinery, build ings, or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making your money in-. terest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought for feeding, rent (except for your dwellings,, etc. h. come includes about every dollar you got.

New Head of Holbrook Schools

Prof. Carol c. DOlman IS
 the new superintendent of
 the Holbrook schools, as-
 suming charge last Monday
 when the schools were con-
 vened for the winter semes-
 ter. Prof. Dolman comes from Los Angeles with eX- cellent credentials, and the trustees believe that under his superintendency the schools will assume the status the patrons have a right to expect. The super intendent will be supported by a good staff of teachers, the places of the eight who resigned last month having been filled by others.
 The dissatisfaction of the trustees with the conduct of the schools under the man. agement of Prof. Edward D. Gallagher, who was in charge last term, eliminated last Sunday when the trus- tees unanimously decided to remove Prof. Gallagher from the schools. When in- formed of the decision of the board, the professor stated that he would appeal from the decision, and would take t h e matter before County Superintendent Pe- terson for adjustment. This he did Tuesday and the greater part of that day was consumed by the county su- perintendent in listening to the testimony of witnesses for both sides and in argu- ments of those in interest. The trustees were represent ed by County Attorney Lar son, while Prof. Gallagher conducted his own case.
 The decision of the county superintendent upheld the trustees in dismissing Prof. Gallagher, he finding that the grounds given by the trustees for the dismissal were sufficient.
 Whether or not Prof. Gal Iagher will go into superior court to attempt to enforce his contract with the trus- tees, the News is not advis- ed.
