Success Will Come.

After many lives have been sacri-
feed, success will come from the at
tempts now being made to establish
a line af trans-ocean airships. Having
accomplished the at-one-timerseem-
|ingly-impossible-feat of trans-conti-
mental air flight, scientists and ex-
perts are concentrating upon the con-
Meeting of the continents by airship
transportation. The Advertiser pre-
diets that out of repeated failures, to-
gether with the sacrificing of many
valuable lives, will come degree of
success that will be a marvel to the
world. The war seems to have engen-
dered a sort of daredevil spirit in
men; they seem more willing than
formerly to challenge the impossible,
being totally unmindful of danger.
A year ago when the airplane mail
service was established between
Washington and New York many pre-
dicted failure. But the official records
show that the net profits for the year
derived from the air service amounts
te~ $4,000. Encouraged by the sue
cess of the Experiment. between Wash
ington and New York, similar SER
vice will be established between New
York and Chicago.
Who knows but that before the
passing of another decade Edgefeld's
rural routes will be served by carriers
in airships? Unless our public roads
be improved, such service may be
undertaken before the passing OF ten
year.
Airships have passed the expert
mental stage. In fact, considering the
very short period in which the flying
of heavier-than-air machines was un-
dertaken the results achieved have al
ready been marvellous. A large meas
ure of success will attend the efforts
of the scientists who persevere in the
development of transportation by

Extermiante the Flies.

We know of no more efectiVe
stroke, says Orangeburg Times and
Democrat, than a swat that dlsposes
Of flies to the number of 4,353,564,
672, ,OOO, 900, 100000 at one time. Yet
every fly living on the first day OF
June will be the great-great-great
great-great -great-great- grandfather
or mother Of that many flies by the
2sth of September. Wonder who
made the calculation?
Well, at any rate, if these figures
be only an estimate and are but nall
wa, correct it will pay to do as much
swatting as possible. We do not like
the word, but there is nothing else SO
NASTY as q fly. If fly were follow
ed on even a portion of its meander-
ings about the premises during the
day, the superlative degree OF Its
filthiness would easily be established.
Therefore, let's poison and kill as
many flies as possible every day.

A Hospital For Edgefeld.
airship.

The physicians of the county have
for some time been actively interest
ed in establishing hospital, county
hospital in Edgefeld. 1t is a county
wide enterprise, Edgefeld being Sc
lected as the most suitable place for
the hospital because of its central To-
cation. No one will question the need
of such an institution for this county.
Scores and scores of people go to the
city hospitals from different sections
of the county each year for surgical
operation and for special treatment,
There is no good reason why they can
not be cared for right here at home.
this effecting a considerable saving
and enabling them to be near theis
families.
Then, too, there are great num-
Der who do not go to the city hosplt-
ais. who are just as much in need OF
hospital treatment, because they can
not afford the expense. This is the
class that should be provided for
the people who can not now go away
from home.
It is estimated that to erect and
properly equip a hospital of thirty or
forty rooms will require an expendi-
ture of about $4,000. An effort will
be made in a short time to raise this
sum among the physicians and people
from all part of the county, and when
a concerted effort is made we trust
that there will be a generous and
ready response. Edgefeld county has
good churches and good schools, and

EverybodyeWill Be Benefited.

To call our feet that will transport
our products of export and import
'sthe merchant marine" is a sort of
misnomer. The advantages that will
accrue from such fleet of ships are
not confined to the merchants. Every
one of the more than 1O0,OOO,OOO
American people will be benefited.
On with the building of merchant
marine! Let the number of ships be
unconfned! 1t is gratifying to note
that all German ships seized in Amer
lean ports when war was declared on
Germany, will become part of our
merchant marine. The Allies can lay
no claim to them.

Benefited Physically.

Instead of. returning to their homes
broken in health, the young men who
rallied to the support of the "Stars
and Stripes" in the world war came
back from the training camps and
from service overseas stronger and
better men. Many of them who went
from banks, offices, stores and other
indoor occupations were pale, thin
and fat-chested, but came back with
the bloom of health upon their
cheeks, with we'll developed chests
and broad shoulders. The official rec
ords show that the average gain in
weight of the men who entered the
military service was IA pounds.
While the men were at times sub
jected to great hardship, yet "Uncle
Sam" took the best care of them pos
sible. The outdoor life, regular hab-
its, eating of pure and very nutri-
tious food made the men in the SER
vice 100 per cent. physically fit. They
built up tremendous reserve force
which enabled them to withstand for
a time without i'll effects the exposure
and hardships incident to modern
warfare.
No country ever called into mill
tary service finer body of men than
the nearly four millions of soldiers
who wore the American. uniform, and
on the other hand no country has
ever sent finer body of men back to
civilian life than the men who have
laid aside the uniform which they
wore with such great credit and hon
or. Aside from the victory achieved,
the money expended in training the
American army was we'll spent. 1t
has set a new standard for the ply
sical manhood of America. In the
generations that shall follow there
will be a large percent. of physically
fit men than there existed at the time
the army was organized.

along with these institutions, if we
are to have a well-rounded county,
should go well-equipped hospital to
provide for sick and suffering human
ity.
Let it be borne in mind, however,
that for hospital locaSed in Edge
field to fill the need that exists in the
county and in order for it to be the
success that it should be, it must re-
ceive the united support of Trenton,
Johnston, Edgefeld and every rural
community of the county. Every
shoulder must be put to the wheel
and kept there, making the institution
grow so as to meet this increasing de,
mand that will be made upon it.

Death of Mrs. Ernest E. Padgett.

The recently purchased cemetery
lot now has two newly-made graves
near the entrance, that of Mrs. En-
nest E. Padgett and her little babe.
The babe was born Wednesday morn
ing and Mrs. Padgett died Wednes-
day afternoon at $40 o'clock. The
announcement of her sudden death
cast a pail over the entire commune
ty. The interment took place Thurs
day afternoon, the funeral being con-
Quoted by Rev. A. L. Gunter.
Before her marriage Mrs. Padgett
was Miss Berta Hill, having descend
ed from an old, honored and widely
connected Edgefeld family. Mrs.
Padgett was devout Christian wo-
man, having been an active and zeal
Gus member of the Methodist church
from her girlhood. Her influence was
not only uplifting and ennobling but
bv her gentle manner and sweet dis
position she won the love and esteem
of all with whom she came in contact.
But few, if any, persons in Edgefeld
were more widely or more genuinely
beloved than was Mrs. Ernest Pad
eett. In answering the summons OF
death, this good woman has been re-
moved from. the stage of human ac-
tivities but her influence is still with
us. Countless lives have been sweet
ened, ennobled, einspired by her
iChrist-like walk and conversation. In
mourning her untimely taking away
we should not forget to be grateful
for the blessing of this well-spent life
in the county and in the town even
for few short years. 1t has been
priceless asset.
The father and mother OF Mrs.
Padgett are both dead but besides her
devoted husband she is survived by
one sister, Miss Margaret Hill, and
three brothers, j. B., j. L. and Baron
Hill.

Allies Can Now Laugh.

1t may not be quoted literally, but
there is an old saying which runs
something like this, 'He who laughs
last laughs best" In their heartless
slaughter of the Russians in .1915-16
and in their murderous march to-
ward Paris early in 1918, the Ger
mans laughed loud and long. Finally
a turn came in the lane of Fortune,
bringing the Allies time to laugh,
and the Germans are taking their
medicine with the ugliest sort of
grimaces.
