METHODIST WOMEN
MEET AT HARMONY

Johnston, Aug. 23.-On August 20
p, most delightful and profitable
meeting of the Womans Missionary
Societies of Columbia district was
held with the Methodists, of Harmony
church.
1t was feast for both soul and
body. Twenty-four delegates and
several conference and district. officers
were present. Mrs. L. E. Brown, of
Chester, Mrs. D. N. Browne, Mrs. C.
D. Stanley, Of Columbia and Mrs.
Greneker presided over the meetings
of the sessions. The pastor, the Rev.
d. w. Kellar opened the meeting with
appropriate devotional exercises and
several addresses of welcome were
made. They were responded to by
Mrs. c. D. Stanley. All the busi-
ness of the district was ably present.
ed and the different phases of the
work discussed. Four new auxiliar-
les were organized this year.
The delegates present pledged for
their different societies the total
amount of S1,475.05. The Upper
South Carolina conference is asked to
raise $500 for the retirement fund for
II women missionaries who are unable
to work any longer.
Mrs. Brown entertained the meet
ing with beautiful account of her
trip to the Columbus centenary stress
ing the point of service for Christ.
Mrs. Bourne in her usually heart
felt, impressive way spoke on various
subjects.
One of her best was the little story
she told the Juniors but through this
story driving it home to the hearts of
the parents that there must be proper
home and environments if the young
are to be raised for the Masters SER
vice.
During the convention a memorial
service was held in which the dele
gates present could express the praise
for membe bers who had served. willingly
in the past3but who had died his year.
The following noble women were
mentioned, Mrs. R. L. Timmons, of
Edgefeld, Mrs. A. R. Nicholson, of
Edgefeld, Mrs. James Minis, of Edge
field, Mrs. A. D. Cumpsty, of Colum-
bia, and Mrs. L. D. Childs; of Colum-
bia.
Another service that we know was
an instrument for good and the ad-
vancement of the cause was conduct
ed by the Rev. D. W. Kellar.
Four invitations were extended the
convention for next year but the mat e
ter will be decided later. This love-
session was closed with the singj

Mass Meeting to Consider Ways and
Means of Replacing Bridges.

While not very large number, yet
a very representative body of ctiizens
met in the court house Monday morn
ing, pursuant to the call of Supervisor
Broadwater, to devise some way OF
replacing bridges that have been
washed away in the county. Mr.. w.
B. Cogburn was made chairman of
the meeting and the matter of re-
placing the bridges was informally
discussed, all present realizing the se5
riousness of the situation. The
marketing season is only few weeks
off and farmers in the sections that
now have no bridges must be provid9
ed, as early as possible, with some way
of getting their produce to market. In
some places fords can be made to an
swer for time as a substitute for
bridges but in at least 10 instances
bridges must be provided, the banks
of streams being of such character
as to make fords impossible. Mr..
Broadwater stated that about four
fords could be made and that at least
10 bridges would be needed.
After full discussion of the mat
ter resolution was adopted direct
ing Supervisor R. N. Broadwater to
call a meeting of his board as early
as practicable to consider the cost of
each bridge carefully and that an es-
innate as to the least possible sum
that will be needed to do the neces-
sary work be made. After this esti-
mate has been made on the lowest
and most economical basis, the board
is to confer with the members of the
delegation to the general assembly to
| the end that funds be provided to
meet the actual expense, the amount
to be. provided for by next years levy.
Two members of the delegation, ex-
Gov. Sheppard and Mr.. Minis, were
present and both expressed the un-
qualified belief that the amount nee
essary to relieve the present emergens
cy would be provided for in the 1920
supply bill.

CARD OF THANKS

We take this means of thanking
our friends for their sympathy anc
thoughtful kindness to US in the houl
of our bereavement caused by the
sudden death of our father, John L
Rearden. We shall never forget the
kindness of our friends at the time
when we needed sympathy and at
tention. We hope that we may be
able to reciprocate some time.

Corn Crop Unsatisfactory. Many
Persons Moving to Town.
Roads and Bridges Need
Attention.

The corn crop in this section this
wear will be short. Much of it has
been drowned on the upland or kept
so wet that it could not be worked.
All corn on the bottoms has been
washed away. Where peas were sown
they are unusually fine, but on ac-
count of the scarcity of seed, very few
were sown. Cotton was drowned on
the low places where it was usually
best. On the high land it mas large
stalk, but less fruit to the stalk than
I ever saw before.
Miss Eugenia Brunson spent last
week at Golfers with Misses Fannie
Wells and Elverta Talbert.
Miss Susie Smith, of Clio, Ca, and
Miss Eugenia Minis are spending this
week with Mrs. L. R. Brunson.
Mr.. Hamp Morgan's children are
visiting their grandfather, Mr.. c. M.
Williams.
s'The move to the farm" has been
changed and it appears that everybody
is trying to move to town.
B. E. Timmerman's family, P. B.
Thomas and W. T. Reels whole fam
lily will move to Edgefield this winter
and several young men from here have
jobs in town for next year.
L. R. Brunson, Jr., started his saw
mill last week on big contract with
Mr.. Shive. Hands are scarce or so in
dependent that he cannot get suffi-
cient number to run his mill full time.
All of this lumber is to be shipped.
You cannot buy. lumber here for any
price.
The supervisor seems to be distress
ed about the bridges being washed
away, when our roads were washed
away long before the bridges were,
and unless he can spare the time from
the Dixie Highway to make us some
roads we will have no use for the
bridges. ie{.e.y .sliss4::
You statedin your paper some time
ago that he had repair gang on the
Antioch road and one on the road
from the John Hill place to Cleora.
You had better give your authority
for such statements. Last week one
convict was at the John Hill place
with pick and shovel picking in the
ditch. That was the only gang that
has been headed this way, except
some holes that were filled some time
ago on the half mile of the roads that
we lacked of working last spring.
AS usual, all of the flour mills are
broken down just as everybody got
their wheat ready to grind. One man
said he has worn out his bags hauling
his wheat to mill and back and has no
flour yet. The water mills have been
damaged by the water and the steam
mills are broken down.
Our school district will be organiz-
ed this week for the cotton associa-
ton.

Beyond any doubt the gasoline en-
CINE on the farm is the fttest thing
that has recently been placed within
our reach, considering the variety of
uses to which it can be put and the
efficiency and economy with which it
will do its work. 1t may be consider
ed the centerpiece around which the
whole power farming scheme is built.
1t pumps the water for the house,
barns, garden and pastures. 1t cuts
and grinds feed for poultry, pigs,
sheep, cattle and horses. 1t runs the
washing machine, the churn, the milk
separator and the pump at the same
time. 1t will run the saw, the emery
wheel and the grindstone, and while
doing these things, run dynamo and
charge storage battery. The cur
rent from the battery is used to light
the home and barns, to run the sew
ing machine, to iron the clothes and
run an electric fan.
1t will shell the corn, bale the hay,
run the corn mill, run the thresher
and milk the cows while they eat the
feed which it has prepared for them.
1t will also shear the sheep and clip
the horses.
1t is probably best to have two en-
gines, one large enough for barn
work and one very small one for the
washing machine, the small cream sep
arator, the small churn and so on.
With the small engine, the cost of oil
as well as of repairs is almost moth

Edgefeld and Trenton early Monday
FSngrning. Mr.. Rearden suffered in

An Appeal From the Civic League.
The Civic League of Edgefeld has
recently begun the cleaning of the
cemetery. On account of the unset
tied labor conditions following the
war, it had been almost impossible to
employ a regular gardener for al
most year and the weeds and grass
had gotten the upper hand. 1t has
proved a most expensive job, and we
are appealing to those interested in
our Getty of the dead" to send us a
hand or two hands on Monday and
Tuesday of next week, Sept. 1 and 2.
We are hoping, with goodly num-
Der of hands, to finish the work in the
two days. Kindly send tools also.
There will be someone to direct the
work and a committee from the league
will be on hand to give suggestions.
Let us have the cooperation of
every family in our town and county
that has a loved one buried there, in
this worthy task.
Remember the date-Sept. 1 and q.

Sec. 'Edgefeld Civic League.

of a league of nations as it is certain

that when the Democrats of the

ton is they will demand, in terms
which cannot be misunderstood,
such a leadership as will give the
president and his policies the fullest
support. Democrats cannot allow
personal relationships or sympathy
to stand in the way of party success,
