each other in improving and upgrad
ing their stock, but also gain for the

Concerning Dixie Highway.

Columbia, March Is The State
Highway Commission has forwarded
to the Secretary of Agriculture for
his approval plans for surfacng the
road from the corporate limits of
Edgefeld to Turkey Creek with top
soil. The proposed improvements will
covor S.42 miles of this rood, which
is part of the Dixie Highway from
Augusta to Asheville. The plans in
clude a SO foot pony truss steel
bridge across Log Creek.
The road leads through prosper
Gus agricultural community, and is a
direct route from Edgeield to Green
wood.
Judging by the promptness with
which he has acted in some of the
cases, the Secretary of Agriculture
will soon give his approval to this pro-
ject, and if he does so the State High
way Commission will ask for bids on
the work, which, besides sul:facing
with top-soil, includes some grading
and relocation.

Call Extended.

The Episcopal churches of Edge
field, Trenton and Ridge Spring,
have extended a call to the Rev. Roy
al Wake of Virginia. Mr.. Wake
served as a Missionary in Japan for
several years where he rendered very
valuable service. He is at present,
temporary chaplain at the University
of Virginia, awaiting the return of
Rev. J. H. Tucker, Jr., the regular
rector, from overseas. Mr.. Wake is
repr scented as being devoted man
and we'll lettered, also industrious
and of a most pleasing personality,
and a good administrator.
His wife is agreeable and 10 doubt
will be valuable addition to our
community. Withal, we venture to
say that Mr.. Wakes teaching will
strengthen and enlighten the church
es over which he will administer,
should the call be accepted.

Tell your mother l would like to
see herand tell Marie to save me that
chicken and mother to save me some
sausage, for 1 hope to be home be-
tween now and August. 1t rains over

You said in one of your letters

The Fillion Concert Party.

The Fillion Party will be in Edge
field April 9th wednesday,. We are
very sorry to conflict again with the
Prayer service and did all we could
to get this Lyceum number TO appear
some other night. The manager writes
that he is sorry to conflict and that
the reason is this: We are on circuit
with other towns in our part Of tine
country. Ours is the last on the cir
cult and the 9 of April is his last date
with the Fillion Company. They go
to another association or the 10 of;
April. The Fillions are filling the date
of one of the attractions selected by
us and is the most expensive Of our
four numbers.
We bespeak for them large and
hearing, nothing is so
enjoyable to genuine artists as appre-
citation of their art.

would not sell cigarettes to any one.
Recently the young women of Vassar
College posted in the college grounds
this sign: mo smoking allowed by
students on these grounds. % This
means that the smoking of cigarettes
by the students of that high class col
lege for women had become sufficiently
noticeable to make this command by the
student government necessary.
The ideals of our men and boys will
be greatly lowered when our women
and girls begin and develop this prac-
tice, and they will begin it if we do not
work for it's prevention.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is very grateful for the recent
act by the South Carolina legislature
putting restrictions on the sale of fav-
oring extracts, which had become a
nuisance. The organized mother love"
of the world, as the w. c. T. U. is
sometimes called, does not gloat over
any conquest which they feel has been
attained, but with great love for the
womanhood and childhood of the world,
they rejoice that it is more difficult for
these things to be attainel,. and would
withhold them from those we love as a
mother withhold poison from her child,
There have been so many prohibition
victor..s during the past year, and so
many imminent victories, that they
pass in review faster than we can re-
cord them.
