From the Agricultural Agent.
DIR. JOHN R. MOTT.

A car of wire has been ordered for
the Trenton farmers. Another will be
ordered out soon. Probably three will
go to this section. Edgefeld should
order out car at once. Canvass will
be made this week and next for or
ders. Those farmers who expect to
have their wire shipped to Edgefeld
should see County Agent Carwile at
once, as this order must be put in.
There will be sale of Aberdeen
Angus cattle at the State Fair
Grounds, November z, 1919. Farmers
interested in stocking with this breed
of beef cattle should get in touch
with Mr.. Carwile in order to make
the trip over to this sale.

territory. There is no danger in sell
ing seed on that market by the far.

EdgeGeld Theatre Under New
Management.

Mr.. Thomas H. Wall, the we'll
known Augusta "movie man." has
taken over the management Of the
Edgefeld Theatre and patrons may
look forward to a series of up-to-
date features.
Mr. Wall, who was Assistant Di-
rector of Cinema with the Y. M. G.
A., in France has more than an ay-
erage understanding of the moving
picture world. 1t is confidently eX-
pected that with such knowledge.
the Edgefeld Theatre will prove a
source of unending enjoyment. Pei
lures will be run four times weekly
Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sat-
urdays, and as Mr.. Wall remarked,
"there will be 10 efforts spared to
bring Edgefeld into line with any
other town in the social, educational
and topical news of the world"
Continuous musical accompani-
ment will render the pictures popular
and more interesting. Every good
luck to Mr.. Wall in his new enter
prise, and hopes that he may succeed
as we'll on this side as he did for the
boys in the trenches.

Three Hundred Thousand Coal
Miners Quit Work.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Bituminous
coal fields of the nation tonight
were in the grip of strike effective
at midnight which leaders of the un-
ion miners declared already had seen
more than $4,000 of their members
out of the works to remain out un-
till the strike should be settled. Thou
sands more of the. miners whose
whole number is roughly placed at
100000 would be out tomorrow they
said.
The men already on strike, the
leaders reported, were those who had
left the mines today, taking their
tools with them. Reports from the
soft coal fields were very incomplete
tonight and even the, union leaders
agreed to wait until tomorrow before
being able definitely to know the
number of men who had obeyed the
strike call. But in almost every in
stance, the miners spokesman assert
ed that the tieup of the mines would
be virtually complete although the
unions will leave sufficient number
of men in the mines to man the
pumps and keep the property in
shape for resumption of work when
the strike shall be ended. Some un-
ion leaders refused to talk on ac-
count of the restraining order issued
at Indianapolis.
Reports to the union leaders to-
night indicated that the bulk of the
miners in the great producing re-
gions of Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky,
Colorado, Kansas, Montana and Wy
oming had left the mines at.the close
of the day shift to remain on
strike.
But with the strike officially start
ing at midnight, tomorrow being vir-t
tually a holiday in coal mining, and.
Sunday also day of non-production,s

dark. My public utterances in all
parts of the world during all these
years largely on denominational plat
forms and in the councils of trusted
denominational leaders ought to
make such misunderstanding impos-
sible.
SECOND-Regarding Camp Pas
tors, let me state that as a member
of the Committee of Six, opposed
the proposed action regarding their
withdrawal from camps. The minutes
of the Committee and testimony of
my colleagues corroborate this state
ment. When I learned that / was be-
ing quoted to the contrary and this
apparently with support of War De-
partment, I called and entered pro-
test in person to War Department
and was exonerated. Not only have
1 not opposed Camp Pastors but on
the contrary have always instructed
our Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion War Workers to give full sup
port to all properly accredited Camp
Pastors.
THIRD Regarding the charge
that the Association minimized the
religious side of its work, especially
overseas, would state that our pur-
pose, policy and effort were to secure
the exact opposite result. Notwith-
standing short comings and weakness
in the work owing to inadequate
leadership and other handicaps, this
most vital part of the program be-
came increasingly prominent and eff
fective. A larger number of pastors
were sent overseas than of any
other profession, not excepting reg
ular Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion Secretaries. They numbered
over fourteen hundred. They had a
leading part in the control Of the en-
tire movement with results of which
we are proud. The charge that we did
not devote relatively sufficient mon
ey to religious work is absolutely
false and misleading because this
charge does not take account of the.

Miss Florence Minis Writes
From Boston.

Dear dvertiser:
Probably there is a reason even
backsof the literary advantages, why
SO hiany students return year after
year 70 Boston to study instead of
seeking elsewhere. There are many
places where students can meet each
other Snr a social good time. One of
these places is the First Baptist
chursR where every Sunday evening
a social club for students is held.
On Thursday evening one of these
socials was developed into Halo
we,en party.
TIC seems. that the Halloween Gus
tom as a very old and really admir-
able one. In the old world the Pagans
used to celebrate it at the end of
summer as thanksgiving to the
sun for having ripened the grain and
fruit.
The Druids also celebrated this
occasion and the reason the black cat
figures, SO much in evidence at the
Halloween time is because the Dru-
ids thought of it as a sacred animal.
The day wa s first observed in the
fourth century when the Christians
were no longer prosecuted, and they
named the time for the saints and
called it All Hallows or All Saints
Day for there were, of course, too
many saints for them each to have a
special celebration.
Ireland has a specific Halloween
literature and Japan, France and
otIers countries, continue to cele-
brates it. Though little observed dur.
ing our Colonial period, the custom
is. now growing. The day is but fore
runner of Thanksgiving, both occa-
sions rejoicing over the harvest of
plenty in the land.

No Law Prohibits Teacher Us
ing Rod.
That there is no law on the statute
books of South Carolina prohibiting
a teacher from inficting corporal
punishment on a disorderly school
child is in substance the answer S.
M. Wolfe, attorney general of the
state, has made to letter asking for
information on the point.
Mr.. Wolfe's reply in full is as fol-
lows:
Replying to your inquiry of the
27th instant / advise that the matter
of disciplining school is one for the
board Of trustees and the teacher in
charge to determine. There is no
law on our statute books in this state
prohibiting corporal punishment. If
to compel obedience and to conform
the pupils of the school to proper, de-
corum it is necessary in some in
stances to resort to corporal punish
ment, the law does not prohibit its be
ing inflicted. A teacher in charge of
pupils and responsible for their con-
duct while in the school at least is in
loco PARENTS and has such a portion
of the powers of the parent delegat-
ed to hira may be necessary to an
swer the purposes for which he is en-
ployed.
"Of course if the teacher illficts
punishment which is wanton or mali
cious in it's nature or which results
from some motive other than that of
Furnishing the, child for some misde-
meanor in the school, the law would
hold him responsible. 1t would like
wise hold him responsible for punish
ment which was brutal in it's nature
and out Of proportion to the offense
committed by the child. Where a pa
rent objects to child being made to
conform to the regulations of the
school as approved by the board Of
trustees, he should be requested to

dered the offender subject to expul-
sion or corporal punishment and
always permitted the parent to indi
cate to me either in writing or per-
sonally his or her desire as to the
method Of furnishing the child. If
they preferred expulsion, the child
was forthwith expelled, if they said
corporal punishment, the child was
punished accordingly and retained in
the school. This might be adopted as
one means of getting around any
possible objection on the part of con-
tentious and unreasonable patrons:
AS have said above, however, when
ever corporal punishment is admin
istered it must be administered in
reason and just what would consti-
tute this is question of fact. The
child should, above all things, be
thoroughly cognizant Of his offense.
No child should be punished unless
he is fully apprised of the offense for
which he is being punished. THE.
