Mass Meeting at Court House.

A mass meeting was held in the
court house Saturday to discuss the
cotton situation and organize for the
purpose of curtailing the acreage.P.
IN. Lott presided and was elected per-
manent president and J. G. Holland
was elected secretary. 3. Harris, COM
missioner of agriculture, was present
and made an instructive address: He
and w. A. Strom, both having attend
ed the recent convention at New Or
leans. gave an interesting report Of
that gathering. After a further dis
cussion Of the cotton situation by A.
Z. Padgett, j. w. Cox and ]. L.Mims,
Mr.. Padgett, who was recently ap-
pointed county chairman, was in
structed to appoint township commit
tees to make a thorough canvass of
the county and secure pledges from
farmers to reduce their cotton
acreage for 1918 one-third. The meet
ing Saturday, in spite of the in
clement weather, was attended by
many representative farmers who
manifested much real interest in the
undertaking, and it is confidently be-
lieved that the farmers of Edgefeld
County will make highly creditable
record in responding to the appeals
for reduction in acreage of cotton
and also in making a corresponding
increase in all GOOD crops.

nary heroism in action near Blanc
Mont Ridge, France, October 3 1918,
voluntarily leading four soldiers
through a heavy barrage. Lieut..
Adams attacked and killed machine
gun crew, which was enfilading his
company first line. His willingness,
fearlessness and great courage made
possible the cleaning out of many
more machine guns, which were hold

Dollars and Cents.

Counting it only in dollars and
cents, how much did that last cold
cost you? A man may not always stop
work when he has a cold, but perhaps
it would be better if he did. 1t takes
about ten days to get complete rid
of a cold under the usual treatment
That time can be much shortened by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and proper care of yourself, IN fact,
a bottle of this remedy in the house
is mighty good investment durmg
the winter and spring months

Some Historic Churches OF
Boston.
Dear Advertiser:

Boston has so many old places OF
interest, the very ground around
them seeming hallowed. 1 had the
pleasure of attending services in the
Kings Chapel. The first building was
erected in 1886, and this was the first
Episcopalian church in Boston. Later
in 1749, this building was replaced by
different structure, and the church
is now Unitarian.
The interior was very quaint with
it's rows of Corinthian arches, and the
old fashioned pews with doors that
let you enter and then were closed af-
ter you, like numbered cells, except
that they were very comfortable. The
stained glass windows harmonized
with the red andwhite of the arches,
Ipews and statues. The venerable min
lister seemed to belong in this quaint,
old place, and his kind face fitted
his subject, "Peace."
From this church l went to see the
Old South Meeting House, now no
longer used as church, but as q
show place of supreme historic in
terest, built in 1749. "Here were held
the town meetings that ushered in the
Revolution. Here John Adams and
James Otis eXhorted. The land on
which the old South Meeting House
is built was granted to John Win
throp. 'In this house on November
20, 1878, a meeting Of five thousand
citizens resolved that the tea should
not be landed, and in this house on
December 1G, 1773, meeting of
several thousand citizens sat till af-
ter candle light. At the doors of the
church the war-whoop was raised, the
citizens disguised as savages led the
way to the tea-ship and the tea was
destroyed"
The interior is now museum, con-
tanning every imaginable Revolution
ary relic, the autographs of LaFay-
cite, Washington, Hancock and many
of the earlier presidents, various In
dian curios, rifles, spinning wheel,
old portraits and old china used by
the early American patriots. One of
the most unusual things was a franz
ed copy of our national anthem,
America, written in 1882 by Samuel
F. Smith himself, in his own hand.
There were specimens of all sorts of
money, of different times in the ma
tion's history. The most uncommon
ones were three and five cent paper
bills.
Any one of the relics would be a
subject for much admiration and
discussion, but this building is only
one Of the many places of Revolution
ary interst in this cradle of Liberty.

freedom, equality, justice and hui
manity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
81, therefore, believe it is my duty
to my country to love it; to support
it's constitution; to obey its laws; to
respect it's flag, and to defend it
against all enemies"
The creed awarded the prize was
selected from several thousand SUBJ
mitted, because it was not only brief
but remarkably comprehensive of the
best in American ideals, history and
traditions, as expressed by the found
Iers of the republic, and it's greatest
statesman and writer's.
William Tyler Page, the committee
on awards announced, is a descendant
of president of the United States,
John Tyler, and signer of the Amer
ican Declaration of independence,
Carter Braxton. Fte was born in Fred
erick, Md, the birthplace of Francis
Scott Key, and he attended the public
schools of Baltimore.
This creed is advocated by chair
man of AmericaniZation to be taught
in the public schools of our land. One
prominent educator suggests that it
be recited every morning in school.
Another educator, in our public
schools, equally prominent, suggests
that once week this creed should be
recited from memory, after which,
SALUTE THE FLAG. Why not the
singing of America? Occasionally a
talk might be given by returned SOL
dier telling what our flag means when
in foreign land and on the battle
fields.

Dear Luke:
Here am keeping the "Watch on

back without me, but 1 was needed
and expressed my desire to be sent

Give the boys a good time when
they arrive for they certainly deserve
it. They all did their part and suffer-
ed the hardships without complaint.
All of them will return with the Divi-
sionsas far as I know, except the one
thatiwas killed and myself. You know
all about these that are wounded by

1 know is now wearing the Wound

Division, except two. This shows what
they did. If you see the Medlock boy
from Cleora, give him the glad hand
for he deserves it.
This is beautiful city situated on
the. Rhine at the mouth of the Mo
'sel1s River and famous for many
things of interest to tourists. The an
nuai number of visitors each year is
supposed to be about a hundred and
fifty thousand. Some of the finest
pianos in the world are made here and

come here to study under the great
teachers that live here The Opera
