Letter of Sympathy Received
by Mrs. Carrie M. Bailey.
GreenMnnd 6 C.

My dear Friend:
1 got letter this morning telling
me of the death of your precious lit
tie baby which was SO painful to
hear so 1 must tell you 1 had to min
gle my tears and grief with yours in
your great trouble. The dear little
darling was too good and pure to
stay in this sinful world so God took
her to live with Him. She is not dead,
just sleeping on her Saviour's breast.
Dear friend, don't grieve, just work
to meet her. I. know it's hard but she
is where no pain can enter. She was
in a home where all was done that
loving hands could do. / know you
thinklthe time was short she was
spared to you. Three months to the
day her mother died, she died.
Mrs. Bailey, this is a dark time to
you, but.we are all put here for trou-
bic. NOW the little one is at rest. ou
are good woman and I know you
love your God and he does you. So
put your trust in Him and He will
help you. Go to see your children in
augusta and stay some with them.
Clara will keep things going and it
will rest you so much. The work is
about done on the farm and the men
folk will be there to help.
I will see you soon. You have my
heart ind prayers in your trouble.
God bless and help you.
True friend,
TIME Jordan.

Capt. George B. Lake..

In its report yesterday of the Con-
federate reunion which is being held
in Greenwood this week, the Index
contained the following paragraph
which is of interest to The Adver-
tiser's readers:
Capt. C. A. G.. Waller vouches for
the truth of this incident of the late
George B. Lake, IF Edgeield. When
the explosion took place at the Cra-
ter one of the men said that as he
was blown up in the air he met man
coming down who cried out, "Rally,
boys as soon as you hit the ground"
The cool headed speaker was George
B. Lake.

Work Soon to Begin.

Material is being placed in the lot
near the Baptist church for the erec-
tion of the parsonage. Instead of en-
gaging a contractor to furnish the
material and complete the building
for given sum, the building commit
tee will purchase the material and
employ the labor, having engaged
Mr.. James Langston to superlntend
i'm the work. Mr.. Langston is conceded
to be one of the best workmen Edge
field has ever had and the committee
has made no mistake in securing his
services. He did much of the work
on the new church.

Must Have a Hotel.

What will become of the strangers
who come within Edgefeld's gates If
the town has no hotel Accommodations!
1t is within the range of probabilities
that the Hotel Dubose may close its
doors to the public. Under present
conditions no one can blame the pro-
prietor for adopting such a course.
Then, what will people do who are
forced by circumstances to spend the
night here? Private homes will be
closed to them Edgefeld should and
must have a modern hotel.

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.
