Further Vigilance and Activity
Needed.

Some colored leaders give express
ion to the apprehension that their
protracted meetings this summer will
be almost broken up by rowdyism,
unless something is done to curtail
the supply of "moonshine" whiskey.
Now that good start has been made
in breaking up distilleries, wholesale
breeders of lawlessness in every
form, the work should continue until
every one in the county is destroyed
and their operators punished. Since
the first Of the year three or four
distilleries have been located and put
out of commission. But it is reported
that there are yet others doing busi-
ness. 1t is reflection on the citizen
ship and officers of the law that even
one distillery should find lodgment in
Edgefeld county. The vast majority
of our people are law-abiding people,
and they should not permit less than
"a dozen persons, some Of them per-
chance men who have come from
some other States where standards
and sentiment for law enforcement
are lower than they are in Edgefield
county, to demoralize our labor, de-
bauch and degrade our manhood, es-
pecially our young men.
"Moonshine" distilleries were trans
planted from other soil into Edgefield
county, but let's publish to the world
the fact that distilleries can not -four
ish here. It is an insult to the county
of Edgefeld that a 30-gallon distil-
lery should have been operated for
term of months within six miles of
the county seat. If there are others,
let's get busy-both officers and citi-
zens-and break them up.

Edgefeld Needs Home Owners.

No one questions the fact that
there is a dearth of residences in
Edgefeld. Not only is there no place
for further influx of population but
families living in Edgeield now need
houses.
Now is the time for people to buy
lots and build homes of their own. 1t
can no longer be said that lots can
not be had, as score or more of de-
sirable building lots will be offered
for sale this week. At the prevailing
price of labor and building material
erecting houses for rent is not at this
time a profitable investment. But
when person needs home the cost,
from the standpoint of investment,
is not to be considered. 1t is scarcely
probable that many houses will be
built for rent in Edgefeld for some
time. Therefore, those who need a
residence would do well to purchase
one of the many lots offered for sale
at this time before they are all taken.

Race Friction in Washington.

For the past two days daily papers
have carried accounts of race friction
in Washington, D. c. Those who are
ACQUAINTED with conditions in Wash
ineton are not surprised at the
trouble that is reported. Negroes, un-
der the protection of political lead
ers and parties, have for number of
years been given wider latitude in the
national capital than elsewhere in the
country. Feeling that they have Fed
eral protection, the younger negroes
have not infrequently conducted
themselves in 4 way that gave Of
fense, and consequently we have been
expecting trouble. Those who have
visited the national capital have OBJ
served conditions existing there with
more or less apprehension. In the
press dispatch Monday the following
paragraph is contained, which shows
that conditions have grown from Dau
to worse, causing resentment which
will go unrestrained as long as the
ground for it exists:
considerable feeling has been
aroused here recently by the numer-
Gus attacks on white women by ne
groes, the latest victim of which was
said to have been the wife of a sailor
and which resulted in the organized
effort for revenge last night"
Unless there is a change in race
conditions in the national capital,
this is the beginning of race friction
that will grow more and more acute

A Thoughtful Courtesy.

A thoughtful courtesy, one which
we are constrained to believe emanat-
ed from President Wilson himself,
was the act of inviting fifteen prl-
Yates from each of the British,
French and American forces to wit
ness the signing of the peace treaty
by the German delegates. AS many
representatives of Allied govern
ments crowded into the Hall of Mir
rors to witness this momentous act,
the capacity of the room being taxed
by the great throng who desired to
see Germany bind herself, cher heirs
and assigns" place of honor was re-
served for the privates from the Al
lied armies. This was proper. The
men who bore the heat and burden
of the great task should have been
thus honored. The big fellows, like
Foch and Pershing, had large part
in winning the war but they never
would have been able to dictate terms
to Germany had it not been for the
men in ranks. We are glad that his
tory will record the fact that the
many millions of privates were given
recognition in the closing scene
around the peace table.

A Life for a Life.

The Fates seem to be against muir
derers as never before. Of the great
number of honoicides recently report
ed, in several cases the slain man.,
while in the throes of death, fired up
on his assailant With fatal effect. In
several instances the bodies would
lie lifeless 9 most side by side. Know
ing of the uncertainty of juries,
some unseen power directs the fatali-
ties incident to taking human life. A
life for life. Not on the gallows or
in the electric chair, but on the
ground where human life was taken.

Children's Service at the Bap-
tisf Church.

Miss Gladys Lyon, leader of the
Sunbeam Band of the Baptist church,
prepared most inspiring program
for the public meeting of that society
on Sunday evening.
DR.. R. G. Lea conducted the de-
votions and pras.d ID over the meet
| ing.
A chorus of beautiful girls and
handsome boys sang and this was fol-
lowed by vocal solo by Elizabeth
Johnston.
A mite box song was given by
eight children in an exercise called
"The Mite Box Convention" each
box speaking for itself. The first one
was represented by Elizabeth John
son followed by Rebecca Arthur, j.
| R. Zimmerman, Martha Thurmond,
John Nixon, Mary Thurmond, Maize
Kemp and Carolyn Dorm. This was
we'll done and a very true exposition
of the way mite boxes are treated.
A vocal trio was given here by
Margaret Strom, Elizabeth Johnson
and Martha Thurmond.
A vocal solo was then sung by lit
tie Miss Margaret Edwards of Bates
burg. o
Little Horace Mellichamp made
his first public appearance in a reci-
tation which was well rendered.
Chorus, Sunlight"
Little Margaret Lyon gave beau
tiful and effective solo.
Frances Willard Johnson sang that
appropriate song for children, "Je-
sus bids US shine"
A duet was sung by Carolyn Dorm
and Margaret Lyon, followed by
prayer in song by little Corrie john
son.
Just before the closing chorus,
Bible was presented to Horace Melli-
champ who had brought more money
in his mite box than any of the
others. This was presented by DIR.
Lee for Miss Gladys Lyon. The mite
boxes contained more than S14.OO,
and the hat collection made 1t
$4,000 which was taken up by four
little boys, Walton Minis, Geddings
Arthur, Byrnes QUITS and Mclean
Arthur. This will go for missions.
The meeting was closed with pray
er by DR.. Lee, who said his only SER
mon for the evening would be the
hope expressed in these words that
each one present would give up any
habit in their lives which they could
not recommend to the little children
who had given the program.

once an English colony. has more En- glish speaking people than England herself. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are English speaking colonies.
 Every American boy and girl should know the leading events connected with the origin and growth of their language.
 The original inhabitants of England, who were called Britons. spoke lam guage somewhat like the modern Welsh. They were conquered by the Romans at about the beginning of the Christian era.
 In the fifth century the native Brit ons were driven into the west and north of the island, held by the Ro- mans, by the three German tribes, Jutes. Saxons and Angles. They were piratical peoples, who had lived on the shores of the North Sea near the mouth of the Rhine, the Weser and the Elbe. These tribes swarmed into Britain. bringing their own language with them. In time they all called themselves Angles, and their speech came to be known as English.
 This early period of the English lan- guage, extending from about 450 to 120e, is often called Old English Tn 1066 occurred the battle of Hast ings, in which William of Normandy overthrow Harold. Saxon king. Will. liam's followers were called North | men.
 What is called modern English be- gins about the time of Shakespeare English had then assumed a form which we of today are able to under stand without special study. This pc riod extends from about 1500 to. tht present time.
 Our language is growing. It began with the German tribes who crossed the English channel, In the fifth cen 1 tury.
 New words, names of new inven tions and discoveries, are being add ed to our language. For example, tel egraph, telephone, dynamo, phono graph. etc, are all words which hay but lately come into use.
