Auction Sale of Land a Great
Success.

In spite of the heavy rains the auc-
tion sale of the Jackson land Friday
by the South Atlantic Realty COM
pany of Greenwood, was great sue
cess. The Parker place was with
drawn by Mr.. S. B. Nicholson. The
bidding at times on the Jackson
property was quite spirited. Several
persons came away owning some of
the lots who never thought of making
purchase when the sale opened. Mr..
w. A. Strom and Mr.. w. w. Fuller
bought the house and several lots
adjoining and DR.. A. R. Nicholson
bought the store. Mr.. Wallace Hilton
bought several lots at reasonable
figure. While the property sold at
good prices, yet it is the current be
lief that the new owners have their
moneys worth. 1t is probable that
the South Atlantic Realty Company
will conduct other auction sales at
Edgefeld and vicinity.

the two families planned surprise
for their mother and father. On Sat

year old, and Mr.. Scott, 76. A few
relatives and friends. were invited to
an old fashioned barbecue which was
cooked by H. H. Scott, Jr., and what
a fine cook he is. The meat was a
credit to his skill. If any has ever
been better, we have failed to partake
of it. All We'd with each other in do

Mrs. Reece was not so fortunate,
as a%married daughter and family al
so a9sons and his wife were absent,
which Of course, waftedg "a t5nN loud

friends.

After all had eaten bountifully
there remained more than was con-

they said it. One lady said she didn't
know how the little folks learned to
do so wonderfully, that she couldn't
in a hundred years.

little Ned Nicholson whose subject
was 1.-TWO Boys and Cigarette" :"
Mr.. Cantelou presented it to him in
behalf of the judges, and said to him
when doing so that he was glad to
have this opportunity as he had loved
and honored his father, Hon. B. E..
Nicholson, and he knew he was look
ing down and smiling on the scene
where his little son and namesake
was winning his first medal.
The other dear little boys and girls
were highly complimented in their
efforts by those who judged as well
as those in the audience.

John Owen Smitn and Mitchell Wells
and Ned Nicholson and some more
whom we will write about later.
Mary and Martha Thurmond and
Milton Swearingen held conference
in dialogue form on the cigarette.
Edgefeld has so many gifted boys
and girls that we cannot make op-
portunities fast enough that they may
avail themselves of them.
The last number was chorus,
"The Cigarette Must Co." by Miss
Gladys Lyons Children's Choir and
under her supervision.
This programme was arranged by
Mrs. ]. B. Kennerly and Mrs. w. W..
Fuller and was a great credit to their
faithfulness and ability.

To Be Concentrated at Camp Mead and Sent Overseas in Contingents of 1000 to Relieve Men of Expedi- tionary Forces
By Associated Press

Washington, March 28.-An immediate call for 50,000 vol unteers for service in Europe has been prepared by the war department and likely will be published tomorrow. As an in- centive to enlistment the men will be offered early duty in France as a relief for men in the expeditionary forces who wish to return home.
 Enlistment in this special force
 will be for four years. The men
 will be concentrated mt Camp Mead.
 Md, and probably will be sent over
 seas in contingents 1000 strong.
 War department officials expressed confidence that no trouble would be ex- perienced in raising the 50,000 men. or an even greater number, if it should be found that additional increments were necessary. The bulk of the men are expected to come from recently dis charged troops, who. after short Wa cation" as civilians, desire to return to army life.
 Another incentive expected to have a decided effect on the recruiting cam paign is looked for among the men who after having been drafted and trained were prevented from going overseas by the promulgation of the armistice. Op- portunity to see service in Germany it is thought, will lead many of these to enlist
 A number of officers, probably 10 or 12, will be sent overseas with each in- crement of 1005 men leaving Camp Meade. These will be used at the con centration camp to give the preliminary training necessary to whip the men into casual organizations and to make the required examinations. On arrival in Europe they will take the places of of ficers who are eligible for discharge.

 Lieut.. Alfred W. Vance. in charge of flying at the field, carrying Lieut.. John H. Servis of New York as passenger, made the ascension, which was an altitude record for Souther field.
 Bundled up in leather coats lined with sheepskin and wearing thick helmets covering their faces the flyers set out with the ground tenn perature at GO degrees.

BANDITS SECURE
 S75,OO0 IN DARING
 DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
Herd Bank Clerks and Pa irons in Vault, Seize Cash and Bonds and Escape
 in Automobile
By Associated Press


 Detroit, March 2S--HerdinS IA per-
 sons, including several women
 patrons. into the invatory and the
 vault of the Westside branch of the
 Commonwealth State bank here, six
 unmasl<ed bandits this afternoon
 robbed the institution of S1O,00O in
 cash and unregistered Liberty
 bonds, which officials say may cx-
 ceed S65.0OO in value.
 Fifty thousand dollars in currency had been removed from the branch to the main office only few hours be- fore the hold-up, according to J. W. McCausey president of the bank.
 The hold-up was one of the most dar- ing in recent years. Two of the men stood guard outside the entrance to the hank while four entered with the man at their head waving a sawed-oH shotgun. Charles H. Hooney, cashier, and P. Mallick, his assistant, wereN ordered from their cages and with several pat rons forced to stand with upraised hands while the bank vault was being rifled. The two bank attaches were then ordered into the vault, together with four of the patrons, and the big steel door closed. Eight other persons. including several who came in after the bandits entered. and among them two women, each with a baby in her arms, were ordered one by one into the lavatory. The bandits then gath cred up all the currency in sight and escaped in a big touring car.
 Their machine was seen to turn west on Fort street one of the main thor oughfares leading out of the city. The theory of the police is that they were headed for Toledo and authorities of towns on the highway between that point and Detroit were imm ediately mo- tified. It was several minutes after the bandits left before the lavatory and vault were opened and the imprisoned persons released.

FOCH SENDS DEMAND
 Rv Associateh Press

Berlin March 2S-General Nudant, rep reseutating Marshal Foch, on Wednesday submitted note to the German govern ment demanding passage through Danzig for the Polish divisions under General IIaller, which are a part of the allied army and permission for their fur ther march to Poland to maintain order. The note added that any refusal would be regarded as breach of the armistice.
 The German government, after exhaus- tive deliberations by the party leaders, laid down it's standpoint in a note of re- ply which asserts that according to the armistice treaty it was only obliged to grant the allies free access to the Vls- tula to maintain order in territories Of the former Russian empire. In conclud- ing the treaty, the government declared, it proceeded in any case from the stand point that there could be no question of Polish troops.
 The note then refers to incidents dur ing the journey of Ignace Jan Fade rewski the Polish premeir, who grossly violating the hospitality accorded him on German soil, gave the signal for revolt and civil war and who, when he was in Danzig in December, 1918, said:
 eff the Polish divisions from France and Italy should be in Danzig, then Dan zig and aaiI West Prussia would be
 Proceeding, the note refers to numerous demonstrations by the German majority in West Prussia who wish to resist Po- fish attacks by force. and says that by such civil warfare the German eastern front against Russian bolshevism will be endangered.
 Tn conclusion the communication asks fc~ information as to the composition and ...ength of General Haller's army, the date of it's landing and transit of Po- land, and what guarantees the allies can offer that General Haller's army, or a portion of it. will not participate in Po- fish demonstrations or possible lnsur- rcction of the Polish minority.
