Made Fine Record.

The retiring treasurer, Mr.. James
T. Minis, has made a record of which
he should be, and doubtless is, very
proud. We venture the assertion that
no county in the state has ever had a
more systematic, more painstaking,
a more honorable or more honest Of
fcial than James T. Minis proved
himself to be during his administra-
tion. Of ten years. As custodian Of
the public funds he has never caused
the people a moments apprehension;
nor have his annual settlements given
the Comptroller General a moments
worry. Grand jury committees and
other officials have always compli-
mented him very highly upon the
splendid manner in which he has con-
Quoted the office.

Death of Frank QuarIes.

The friends of Frank Quarles here
and in other parts of the county were
shocked by the announcement of
his death which occurred at his hor.e
of the plantation of Mr.. Irwin Smith
Friday of last week. The funeral was
held at Red Hill church Saturday,
the funeral being conducted by Rev.
J. w. Kesterson. He was member
of Red Hill church, having spent his
life, prior to few years ago, in that
community. He was an industrious
farmer who always applied himself
closely to his business, never med
ding in the affairs of others. Mr..
Quarles is survived by two little chill
dren of his first marriage and also
by his second wife.

Ford Trucks Economical.

Every farmer in this day of depict
ed man-power On the farm is looking
for labor saving, time saving, and
therefore money saving machinery
and devices. The problem of hauling
heavy loads over the rough, hilly
roads of Edgefeld county-g getting
produce to market and getting need
ed merchandise from the markets. to
the farm-is being solved by an in
creasing number of farmers through
the purchase of Ford one-ton trucks.
They afford cheap and economical
means of hauling-just what farmers
have been needing and looking for.
Merchants are also coming to realize
their value in hauling freight and de-
'livering goods. No other means of
transportation meets the needs of so
many people as does the Ford one
ton truck. Better place your order
now with the Yonce Motor Company.

Course at Clemson.

The Clemson College men are busy
among the farmers to interest them
in the building of storage houses for
sweet potatoes. Last year about fifty
of these houses were constructed
and every one proved a success. This
year a drive will be put on to build
at least two in each county. There
are already four farmers in Edgefeld
county who are thinking of building.
This will mean a good start for Edge
field. Our county agricultural agent
will be busy for the next few weeks
on this work. Mr.. Farmer, if you are
a grower of sweet potatoes and care
to save them, call up your agricultu-
raj man or write him a letter to the
effect that you are interested in po-
tato house.

Tribute to Dear Little Boy.

Joe Junior Miller, just 21 months
ago came to gladden. the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Miller.
We were not prepared to part with
our little darling. Like bolt from
a cloudless sky came a telegram say
ing "Joe Junior is dead" Such a
shock! But the dear Lord knoweth
best so called little Joe Junior to
glory where He has a place for all.
He wanted one more precious an

called little Joe Junior to join the
happy band.
He was loved by all who knew him,
he was such dear little fellow.
The ways of God are often mys-
terious and hard to be borne but we
should be submissive to His will,
knowing that "God doeth all things
we'll"

Largest Real Estate Deal.

One of the largest, if not the larg-
est, deal in agricultural property
ever made n the county has been
consumated at Trenton. Mr.. Julius
NJ. Vann has purchased the valuable
farm of Mr.. James D. Mathis, south
of Trenton. The tract contained
about 250 acres and the purchase
price was 100000, being about S24O
per acre. Possession is to be given
the first of August, the transfer in
cluding the growing crops now on the
land. Mr.. Vann, one of the most pro-
gressive young farmers in the county,
already owned several hundred acres
of very fine land on the Plank Road
where he now resides. The purchase
is very large one but The Advertis-
er believes that Mr.. Vann is as big
as the purchase and "leetle de rise"
of it.

Death of Mrs. Ed Cheatham.

Thursday, July 8, after being sick
only few hours, Mrs. Ed Cheatham
died at her home on the Martin Town
road. The news of her death was a
great shock to her Edgefeld friends,
as she was here only few days be-
fore her death. The afternoon before
her death she visited the home of her
brother, Mr.. Butler Hammond. We
have been informed that she suffered
from rheumatism which probably seiz
ed her heart.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Cheat
ham was Miss Alma Hammond, the
only daughter of the lamented Col
|lier Hammond, and she was known
far and near for her beautiful Chris
tian life, being one of that noble band
women in every church and communi-
ty who never grow weary in we'll
doing. She was one of the most active
members of Red Hill church, lead
er in every form of women's activi-
ties, and her place will not be easily
filled. The funeral was conducted at
Red Hill Friday by DR.. R. G. Lee.
Mrs, Cheatham, besides three
brothers, leaves her devoted husband
and two little children.

COLLEGE STUDENTS ENTER
TAINMENT.

Two of our greatest assets as a
county are our organizations and our
educated people. Every year a COM
pany of organized students meet to-
gether in Edgefeld and give an en-
tertainment for the main purpose OF
letting you, the people of their coun-
ity, see and enjoy their artistic attain
ments of the last winter. The
several boys and girls schools, col
lleges and universities of the state
have a living, vivid advertisement
flashed upon the stage every year for
them. Just as the student is the most
/. 'ortant person in the college, so
-, student is the most effective
means of advertising any institution.
This, along with Edgefeld's Ser
vice Flag and Edgefeld's annual cele-
bration of her historic spots is one dis
tinctive feature that holds our coun-
ty up as an example in educational,
as well as patriotic and historical in
terest.
The great talent of the world all
came from some little town or little
or big city or rural district
sone county less famed than Edge
field perhaps. Why can we not, in
fostering our students entertain
ments, have -he privilege of being
the first to see the glory that lies in
the students from our own town and
family around US?
l should have written all this be-
fore the entertainment given at
Edgefeld and the one given at john
! ston. Remember this for next year,
sometime in June.
Let us institutionalize a day in
June when the descendants of the
great ancestry of Edgefeld shall pro-
claim the worth of our present youth
full citizenship.

Life Insured for Parents.

Everybody who knew Edgar Lam
ham knew him to be model young
man who was always actuated by a
noble, generous impulse. That which
reflects the young man most accu-
rately came to our knowledge yes
'terday. Several months ago Edgar
purchased an insurance policy
through the Harling and Byrd agency
for S1,5O0, for the benefit of his
father and mother, Rev. and Mrs. P.
B. Lanham, not realizing then that
he would so soon be snatched without
a moments warning from the parents
he loved so well. He probably pur-
chased the policy without the Aaowl-
edge of his parents. As if guided by
an All-wise providence, Edgar select
ed policy which contained what is
called a double-indemnity clause,
providing for the payment of double
the face value of the policy in case
death results from unnatural causes.
1t is believed by those@who can
speak with authority that his tragic
death will come within the provisions
of this clause, making the policy one
of $4,000 instead of $1,000. This
thoughtful and very generous act on
the part of Edgar Lanham, the men
ton of whose name brings tears to
the eyes of his friends, is an example
worthy of emulation by scores of
lother young men who are now in the
full bloom and vigor of health. There
is no telling what a day, even an
hour, will bring forth.

Farmers Attend the Suruner
School.

Several cars of farmers will leave
for Clemson College from different
parts Of the county during the week
July 21 to 26 to attend the farmers
week. This course will bring the farm
ers of the State in touch with the
best agriculture in The nation. Every
farmer is urged to take this course.
He will be more than paid by doing
so. If you can encourage a party
from your neighborhood, do so and
get an automobile full, or several of
them. The county agricultural agent
expects to attend with the farmers
and will use his influence to see that
those who attend will get the full
benefit of the trip.

An Impression of the Press AS
sociation.

During the last day or two of June
and the first of July, the men who
know most of the good stories and
jokes and like to tell them, met in
Greenville to exchange ideas for the
benefit of Edgefeld and every other
county in South Carolina. The three
terms, School, Church and Press go
together. These men represented the
Press of South Carolina.
On Sunday afternoon DR.. Mclean
ably presented the subject at the
Baptist Church, of how much the
world owes to the Christian Church
and even as 1 write, I think of the
debt that the world owes to the news
paper world owned and managed by
Christian men. Most of US who are
not writers ourselves, had never
thought perhaps that everything we
read has been written and censored
for US by someone else and that the
newspaper men have chosen we'll the
literature that they give US to read.
They have chosen to be your SER
wants, the servants of your mind, the
agent through which the happenings
of the day and the previous days are
translated from the electric wire in
to living, flaming language. Some
professions give US bodily food and
clothing, others give US spiritual
food but the newspaper would feed
our intellects a portion daily, weekly
or monthly of something that stimu-
lates.
think that people with a sense of
humor are not only good people to
have around, but people who nearly
always have character. These men
from all over the State are among
your best friends, who having not
seen, you ought to love.
The keynote Of the convention, it
seems to me, was the inevitable tie
which binds people to people, citizens
to their government and newspaper
men to their constituents, the right
full debt that they owe to you, to give
you the best editorial page, the best
advertising, the best news items that
the profession affords. Always there
was the thought coming up again and
again of how the letters on the pages
might spell War Savings Stamps and
Patriotism and League Of Nations.
One of the last bits of business was
a telegram ordered to be sent to the
President of the United States up
holding him, as body, in his new and
big idea of the League of Nations.

j. w. Geraty, a truck planter of
South Carolina, declared that if the
proposed duty was made effective the
cost of potash would be prohibitive to
farmers. He told the committee that
to produce nearly normal crops the
first year the German supply was cut
off because of the accumulated a
mount in the land, but said that for
the second year the yields fell off 80
per cent and that this year crops on
land for which potash was necessary
would be only rs to 80 per cent of
normal. The American product, he
said, is inferior to foreign potash.
