Miss Sadie Minis .Entertains.

On Tuesday evening, August 26,
Miss Sadie Minis entertained delight
fully with a military party" Every
one was in the soldier spirit and the
cred, white and blue" was futtering
everywhere. The soldiers have learn
ed how to live uncomfortably and
now they are able to enjoy more
than ever.
The contest consisted of a series
of questions about the great battles,
camps and generals and all the
guests, even the most learned ones,
found that the war had taught them
a great deal.
At the conclusion of the contest,
| it was found that Miss Mamie Dun
ovant and Major W A. Collett held
the highest honors and were present.
ed with box of patriotic stationery,
while Mrs. Arthur Childress and Mr..
R. T. Hill fell heir to the BOBBY,
red, and white and blue box of
"crackerjack."
A large tent, general headquar-
ters," was situated in the yard with
large flag near. Physical examina-
tions, issuing of guns, camp singing
and bugle calls completed the mill
tary atmosphere.
Every camp has its canteen SER
vice and so had this one, at which
delightful fruit punch was served,
by a. Red Cross canteen girl.
Everyone was tagged, not with an
officers bar, few of them. were that
commanding, but only little SOU
lvenir bearing the name of "Sunder-
land" the name of Miss Minis sun
ny home. The guests needed no re-
minder of the occasion.
Some of the young ladies who
frightened the camp scene were
Miss Bessie Dunovant, who presided
very Hospitality at the Red Cross
Canteen, Miss Kate Minis, who rep
resented Liberty, Miss Mary Nichol-
son who personified Peace and Miss
Sarah Ready who was dressed as
Miss Columbia. These accompanied
the guests about the lawn which was
electrically lighted. The whole place
was aglow with light and color and
was beautiful enough to have been
prepared for peace celebration.
To strengthen the tired army af-
ter its strenuous camp life, delicious
red and white cream and cake were
served and enjoyed. At the sound of
"Taps," after the lowering of the
flag and the singing of the Star
Spangled Banner, the triumphant
and victorious army tramped home
ward to the tune of lasting joys and
sweet memories of martial airs.

Military Company Needed.

For number of years Edgefeld
had a splendid military company.
The Edgefeld Rifle Company was an
old organization, one in which the
people of the community took much
pride two or three decades ago.
There are reasons why this company
should be revived. In fact, we be-
lieve every county seat should have
"a military company. This seeming
preparation for disturbance of the
peace, a training of men in the use
of firearms, is a splendid means of
preserving peace.
The war department has issued an
order to the adjutant general to or
ganize another battalion of COM
panies, the, minimum being IS men
to the company. There should be no
difficulty in enlisting men here for
military company. We have men
fresh from active service and the
training camps who could easily
come together and organize a COM
p&ny that would be a credit to the
county and the State. The presence
of an armed body of men who could
be ready at an hours notice to as
sist in law enforcement or in pre-
serving the peace would have a
wholesome effect upon the commu-
nifty and the county.

Brick Making Plant Needed.

Having aroused from it's long
sleep, the town of Edgefeld has
greater need for certain enterprises
now than it has ever had. A building
boom is on and will continue if
Ipeople can secure material with
which to build. Rough lumber has
more than doubled in price and mill
ed or finished material has advanced
nearly fourfold. The price of brick
has advanced twenty-five per cent.
during the past few months.
Rough lumber for building can be
supplied by mills in the county and
finished material must be had from
plants in the cities as heretofore, re-
gardless of price and the prolonged
delay in securing it. But builders in
Edgefield and vicinity could be inde-
pendent of brick manufacturers in
nearby cities who, we are inclined to
believe, are eXtorting higher prices
than conditions warrant. Good brick
can be made right here in Edgefield.
All of the brick buildings that were
erected in Edgefeld after the first
great fire were built of brick made
of clay in the town limits. The sup
ply was not exhausted and the facil-
tiles for making brick are much bet
ter now than was the old hand
mold process. We believe brick could
be made at profit in Edgefield at
but little more than half what city
manufacturers are asking.
We need Chamber of Commerce
to take up the matter of organizing
brick manufacturing plant in Edge
field. There would be no letting up
in building activities, if our people
could secure the necessary material
at anything like reasonable prices.
But when prices become prohibitive
building operations will cease, ex-
cept in cases where the need for
construction work is imperative.

Linen Shower for Miss Marian
Bailey.

Miss nellie Braxton Jones enter,
tanned delightfully."- on Tuesday af-
ternoon for Miss Marian Bailey
whose approaching marriage is max
ing her the center of interest and at
traction.
The spacious hall and drawing
rooms were artistically arranged
with decorations of yellow golden
rod. The guests were given tiny gold
bells at the door, being greeted by
Mesdames N. NJ. Jones, W. f. Lott
and 3. B. Jones.
In the receiving line were Miss
Marian Bailey, Miss Martha Boo5er
of Columbia and Mrs. E. C. Bailey.
Each guest was given a tiny card
tied with yellow ribbon on which was
arranged the program. for the after
noon. The first number was an ap-
propriate violin solo, 'Love Dreams"
by Miss Rosela Parker. Miss Ruth
Tompkins sang "The Light in Your
Eyes" Little Miss Elizabeth Bailey
lin dainty pink costume danced to
the delight and pleasure of the ad-
miring assembly. The next number,
enjoyed by all, was a dance, "The
GLOW Worm" by Miss Ruth Tomp-
kins, wearing costume of silver and
gray. The last number of this inter
esting part cf the afternoon was per-
formed BY -liss Mary Cantelou when
she presented to the bride, after
showing it to the guests, souvenir
book filled with tiny recipe books
tied together with yellow streamers.
A little poem about the booklets add
ed to the charm of their presenta-
tion.
Then came the climax when the
shower, not an April shower, came,
consisting of handsome presents of
linen of all designs and very useful.
Indeed, the presents were so many
that the guests were admiring them
for many minutes as Miss Bailey
took them from the large box.
When this part of the entertain
ment had been finished, delicious
salad course with iced tea was serv-
ed.
The gracious hostesses and their
popular guest of honor bade good
bye to a host of Edgefeld's young
women who had enjoyed a most de-
lightful afternoon and in their
hearts heartily congratulated Mr..
Thompson of Timmonsville who is
the favored groom.

ADJUSTMENTS.
A. the Casino.

Goldwyn presents one Of Rex
Beach's stories. "The Crimson Gar
denis," now showing at the Casino. It
is ., story laid In the French district
of New Orleans and deals with a set OF
clever counterfeiters. Emile Du Luc
had been sentenced for ten years thru
a plot laid by his uncle, shrewd coun-
terfeiter, because he knaw too much
about his uncle'k affairs. Emile es-
capped from the officehs on the way to
the station and hid in downtown
curio shop. The next day there was to
be a masqued carnival and he plan
ned to square" himself with his uncle.
He wrote . letter to his cousin. q
French Fmilliner, whom he had never
seen. and told he what costume he
would wear the next day.
There happened to be New York
family in New Orleans the day OF the
carnival. A young fsllow. by the
name Of Van Dam, wore . costume
which happened to be exactly like the
one that Emile was to don.
Van Dam was mastaken for Emile by
the sirl and was led thru many thrill
ling experiences during the day. The
real Emile was killed by one Of the
uncle's men, who laid the guilt upon
Van Dam because he was In the house
ut the time that 1t happened. How he
freed himself, was a very clever ruse'
in which he raised the receiver Of the
telephone with book and talked to
the men In the house In such a way
that he was connected with the police
who came to his aid.
The third episode Of "The Great
Gamble" and q Pathe News are also
showing.
