Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston in
Edgeheld.

Sunday evening in the Baptist
church Mrs. Deborah Livingston Of
Providence, R. l., addressed perhaps
the largest congregation ever assem-
bled for an evening service in the
Baptist church. Her coming had been
largely advertised and everybody de-
sired to be present to enjoy the occa-
sion. Many persons interested in the
great cause of temperance and pro-
hibition from the surrounding coun-
try were present.
Rev. Mr.. Lee, pastor of the church
presided over the service and intro
duced Mrs. Livingstone, saying that
she was a descendant of John Knox
of Scotland who said "Give me Scot
land or I die"
Little Margaret Lyon sang very
sweetly, "In the Garden" with piano
accompaniment by her sister, Miss
Gladys Lyon.
Mitchell Wells gave his gold medal
winning selection, "The Challenge of
Patriotism" and under the inspira-
tion of the large and sympathetic
audience, he surpassed any of his
former efforts, as good as they have
been.
The Jubilee song was given by a
chorus and the double quartette
sang "There will dawn a golden NOR
row by and by"
Mrs. Livingston's address was well
received as she discussed the alcohol
question from many viewpoints.
She is charming on the platform or
in private conversation being wo-
man of broad culture and travel, and
of wonderful mind and heart.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union has many women of SIM
liar attainments throughout the ma
tion and the world, which accounts
largely for the mysterious elimina-
tion of the drink habit in our nation.
Mrs. Livingston was the guest cf
Mrs. Tillman while in Edgefeld.

church will rally to the flag of the
cross through the call of Methodism

Of s35,OO0,OOO. Every dollar Of the
money raised will be spent in mission
ary work, both at home<and abroad,
ten million being turned back into the
upbuilding. of churches, schools and
hospitals in the South. A large part Of
this sum will go towards increasing

A Problem to Consider.

It is a fact that no class of people
in America to-day are independent of
of every other class. Farmers could
be more nearly independent than any
other class of people in this country,
but many of them lack a great deal
of being independent.
Farmers sell very little among
themselves; they buy very little from
their neighbors. They use the cities
and towns as clearing houses to con-
vert their products into cash to be
used in supplying their wants. This is
not all. Many attend church in town
and are members Of fraternal and
civic organizations in cities and
towns.
Our economic and social life has
made cities and towns necessary for
successful farming and progressive
citizenship. For this reason land val
ues near cities and towns have ad-
vanced enormously, whereas farms in
remote and rural districts not con-
nected with urban centers by good
roads have not increased in value to
any considerable extent.
There is mutual interest among
citv neople and country people. City
consumers need the products of Tie
farm; farmers need the markets of
the cities and towns. All need eco
production and economical
marketing.
If the farmers dollar is to keep
people from starving and enable in
dustries to meet the needs of peace,
ii must have chance to buy dol
lars worth of services. The city mans
responsibilities in making this posi-
BILE is no less binding than the farm
er's. This is problem for all the peo-
ple and one the nation might well
consider.-Farm and Ranch.

Grow Your Own Feed.

Clemson College, May 12.-Hay
at $500 a ton, corn at $500 per
bushel, and feed oats at .95 cents
per bushel do not look good to the
farmer who must buy these feeds for
his livestock, however, good they
may look to the farmer who has them
to sell. Yet these are prices which
some must pay to get feeds. Men who
have cattle cannot afford not to raise
plenty of feed.
1t is not too late to put in corn,
sorghum, cow peas, and sudan grass
to make hay or silage or grain for
your livestock. Velvet beans can also
be used to fine advantage, especially
for grazing without harvesting.
The successful livestock man must
indeed be also successful grower of
feeds. GROW YOUR OWN FEEDS.

Card From Rev. G. w. Bussey.
To The Edgefeld Advertiser:
Dear Old Friend:
FIVE

On my return from my Gainesville
church this morning found your pa
per awaiting me. But. my heart was
made sad at the reading of the death
of two of my old friends, Abner
Minis ("Buck" as we called him) and
Amos Eubanks. They were both true
men. Abner was a true soldier, both
during the war and the trying days
of the Red Shirts. Then, he was true
soldier of Christ. His light shown
steady and bright. l knew more of
him than of Mr.. Eubanks, but both
were true men.
The ranks of we old soldiers are
getting thin. All crave is to be faith
full to the end.
By the kindness and liberality of
my churches, both wife and | will be
able to attend the Southern Baptist
Convention in Atlanta this week. We
are glad to say that both of US are en-
joying good health. The Lord has fol-
lowed us with loving kindness all our
days. Blessed be His name.
AS ever your friend and brother,

Political "reminiscences.

Some people have claimed that the di
rect primary was responsible for the
nomination of the Hon. p. w. Clement
for the governorship of Vermont in 1918
over Darling and Howe. owing to the
participation of Democrats. 1t is in
sisted that a host of Democrats, instead
of voting for DR.. Mayo or some other
member of their party in the primary,
voted for Clement, arguing that Mayo
would be nominated as their candidate
anyway, and thus helped TO make Glenn
ent the candidate of the Republican par
ty, some of their number also voting for
him in the election against their own
party candidate.
If this is the case, and we are not
undertaking to throw the slightest
doubt upon that assumption, then there
may be a certain element of political
Justice in it as regards the ease of
Clement VS.. the former Republican or
ganizatiOn. Those on the inside know
that in 1902 Republicans helped the
Democrats nominate a candidate for
governor. Part of the story is told by
the Bennington Banner as follow s:
"'The death of Hon. Felix w. Me

moves an old-time Vermont Democrat
who was more than match for most of
| his opponents in a hot argument. 1t

war and warm hearted genial man
who never lacked friends
As a matter of fact, the state con.
vention which nominated McGettricb
for the governorship in 1902 was more
or less of a personally conducted affair

Cullough Republican influence secured
the nomination of the Democratic state
convention.
As a result of the splitting of the
Democratic vote Clement failed to get
the full strength he otherwise would
have had, but Mccullough also failed
to gain majority at the polls, and the
election was thrown into the legisla-

TREAcHERY OF THE GERMANS.

The scuttling of the majority of the
German fleet informed at Scapa Flow
by their German crews was the culmina
ting act of German treachery. 1t COM
pletely negatives the opinion of Presi-
dent Wilson that the German people
are worthy of more confidence than
their late ruler. 1t must complicate
the negotiation of peace with the allied
powers because it reveals an entire alb
sence of honor in the German nation.
A new German cabinet has been formed
to make answer today to the terms of
peace submitted by the allies to the
late Scheidemann cabinet which signed
the armistice. The resignation of the
Scheidemann cabinet at this time was
treachery to the allies as it claimed
authority to deal with its enemies in the
establishment of peace.
The Germans should not be allowed to
sign the treaty submitted to them by
the peace conference at Versailles be
cause conditions are so changed from
what they were when the treaty was
submitted. Additional punishment must
be imposed upon the German people
for this latest act of treaehery. The
allies cannot heed the request of thu
German vice premier elect, that Ger
many 5 identity be fixed at definite
amount or retract their demand for TIL
surrender of former Emperor William
No further concessions can be made t.
such an irresponsible and treacherou
people as the Germans. 1t would seen
advisable to impose a larger and NOR
powerful army of occupation in Ger
many. Berlin should be occupied an,
every other city where further treach
cry is possible. Peace armed to tn
teeth seems the only peace safe to offe
the Germans.

The government is telling us to buy
our coal now, predicting a shortage next
winter. The price of coffee, the great
American drink, continues to advance
steadily; shall we buy now for future
consumption? We are also told that
the prices of all footwear will ascend
sharply this fall, which to some will
mean-buy now or 90 without. The
meat packers as well as the retailers
say that the price of meat remains
Ahigh because the consumer continues
to conserve, while what he should dc
is to buy more and buy now. These
are but a few instances for the con
sideration of the long-suffering eonsum.
