Adams-Carroll.

The announcement of the engage
ment of Mr.. William Wright Adams
and Miss jamie Carroll of Mccormick
has caused their marriage, which will
take place in February to be one OF
the chief topics of conversation a.
mong their Edgefeld friends. Mr..
Adams, who was recently discharged
from the aviation service, is univer-
sally beloved here and Miss Carroll
has made many friends during her
visits to her Edgefield relatives, the
family of Mr.. and Mrs. James R.
Cantelou.

The mistletoe which came from
Edgefeld was quite a novelty to the
New Englanders. They had no idea
that it was such an interesting plant.
The English mistletoe is not a para
site like the American. The cotton
plant is also quite curiosity up here.
They have a vase filled with cotton
which looks quite odd to me.
During the war in order to con-
serve wheat the New Englanders
used Irish potatoes instead of bread,
for not using corn bread as the South
erners do, they couldn't adopt that as
a substitute. I am enjoying this won
derland of the North.

Dear Advertiser:
am in the midst of the famous
White Mountains of New Hamp-
shire. I saw them snow covered yes
terday afternoon at sunset and /
wonder if anything but the Alps
could surpass them.
1t is very ordinary sight to see
sleighs or sleds drawn by one, two, or
four horses gliding by with the sleigh
bells ringing to let people know they
are coming for the sleigh makes no
noise as it slips over the ice and snow.
The snow has been falling almost
continuously for days. Yesterday my
friend and her father took me snow
shocing. We put on arctics, which are
sort of water proof boot, and sport
clothes, and started out to high
wooded hill for snow shoe tramp.
The snow shoes are about twice as
long as the ordinary tennis racket,
and very similar in appearance. The
shoe is about the same width as the
racket and tapcrs Off at the end. In
the center are leather straps to tie
around the ankle and one to slip the
toe into. A long sweeping step has to
be taken to keep from stepping on
your own foot, and always with an
outward tendency. l felt so awkward
with my feet about six feet long. We
climbed hills, went over bushes, rocks
and holes without breaking either
ourselves or the shoes The Indians
make these and in fact the snow shoe
was an Indian invention as was the
birch canoe, the sleigh and the tobog-
gan.
On returning from our snow shoe
trip we went skiing. That is Nor
wegian term. The ski is long mar
row board, about four inches wide
and five feet long, curved at the end.
In the center as in the snow shoe,
there is place for the foot to be at
tached. The sport that these are for
is sliding. Standing OH the top of
hill, you slide down, which must be
enjoyable if it ever could be done.
My friend started down the hill on
the skis and fell headlong in the
snow. l started out to help her and
landed in the snow too. We then slid
down the hill on sleds over the fro
zen sidewalks.
One night about nine o'clock
heard whistles blowing and didn't
know what they could be at that time
of night. l asked my friend and she
told me that it was the old New Eng
land custom of ringing curfew. This
meant that all the children under
sixteen should be off the streets by
nine o'clock.
The windows in the houses up here
have double sash to keep out the cold.
Since glass radiates heat or cold the
outer sash will be cold and the inner
one warm. One window has a single
sash and through this the air can
come when it is needed.

Bells to Sound Peace

peal of bells in st. Clements Church.

Day, after silence of seven years.
The bells are notable for their chin
ing the old rhyme. "Oranges and
Lemons to which tune the children
OF England still play one of their
tavorlte games. This tune is said to
originate from the time when servants
in the neighborhood visited all the

Madden Opposes
i. S. Entrance Into
League of Nations
Representative Finds French
Hostile to the American
Troops; Says Allies Made
Mistake Signing Armistice
NeW York Tribune
Washington Bureau

NeU I ORR r10unS
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 26-The Allies
made serious mistake when they
agreed to an armistice with Germany
Representative Madden, of Illinois,
just returned from a tour of European
battletields, declared in the House to-
day. If the war had been fought to
finish the peace terms would have
been agreed to long since, he said,
and the safety of the world would have
been assured
He declared against entanging alli-
ances, such as will result from mem
bershlp in the league of nations AS
an American policy he advocated the
maintenance Of a small standing army,
supported by universal military train
ing, the maintenance of a reserve force
OF officers who have returned to civil
life, and the support of navy COM
mensurate with American commerce.
When he travelled in Germany Mr.
Madden said he found that the Ger
mans did not regard themselves as hav-
ing been defeated.
The feeling is that we are not in
possession of German as victors," he
added, "but that we are there under
contract; that the armistice was signed
as the result of the Presidents four
teen points,
French Hostile to L. S. Troops
In France, Mr. Madden told the
House, there is marked hostility toward
American soldiers and officers
"One thing in France that is notice
able is that every woman is in mourn
ing he said. "The thing to be most
regretted, as | see it, is the unfriendly
feeling which exists between the
French people and the American
soldier 1t does not apply merely to
the rank and file of the American SOL
ciers, but it reaches higher up.
l noticed as | went through eastern
and southern France, where our armies
never fought, that we have large num-
bers Of soldiers building roads. and |
wondered whether it was entirely
proper that our men should be en-
ployed in these activities. In con-
versatlon with General Pershinc he
assured me that it was necessary under
our arrangement to maintain the roads
wherever our armies were Quartered
because we were using them extern
slVly with our trucks to move supplies
My criticism fths is not so much
on the fact that we are building the
roads as that we are buying the ma
terial from the French people at
price just double what we pay in this
country for the same material"
Opposes League of Nations
After expressing regret that the
peace terms have not yet been agreed
upon, Representative Madden con-
tinued:
81 am more convinced than ever after
a survey of the situation there that
America should stand aloof from en-
tangling alliances. 1t cannot be pos
slble for our people to mingle with the
people there on equal terms They do
not think as we do. Invisible border
lines make it necessary for them to be

picious Of each other. You cannot

is not perfect in all its parts and ca
pable, If wisely interpreted and Justly
enforced, Of producing universal hap
piness and bringing unbroken peace to
the world still if left to the interpre-
of the proposed league it would utterly
fail in its object and bring misery
rather than happiness to mankind.
That assertion | now undertake to
demonstrate.
1T was Pope who said:

" What's best administered, Is best
Making due allowance for poetic
eXaggeraton the couplet contains a
graf truth. Granted arbitrary powers,
the wise, virtuous and humane despot
Will nevertheless promote the happi-
ness of his subjects. Upon the other
hand, an enlightened constitution and
code of laws in the hands of an ignor-
ant, depraved or cruel president have
never afforded the people protection
against outrage and wrong.
Numerous illustrations of this
truth are found in the governments Of
certain South American and negro re-
publics which have copied the letter
Of the Constitution Of the United
States, but which have nevertheless
been perpetualy the victims of
tyranny

If the league were to be composed
OF the most enlightened nations of
the world it might be argued that we
could consign to them many questions

In the course of HIS prepared ad-

Upon the contrary, in a number Of

make them otherwise. Their internal
political hatreds are unchangeable.
The league of nations provides,
If 1t should be approved here, for
the defence of the political integ-
rlty and geographical boundaries Of
foreign nations that are likely to lead
us into trouble. The nations that are
being created are now at war with
each other. They are likely to con-
tlnue. They are fighting every day.
My judgement is that America should
not send her boys to foreign territory
for maintaining political integrity."
