Lift your voice like that again, and

For the first time Rupert saw the
approaching riders, now entering the
straight stretch Of road that ran be-
tween mountain and gorge toward
the house, and comprehended the
warning Lesendra would nhave had

A Very Sad Death.

Just why young man reared in a
Christian home amid influences and
an environment that were calculated
to develop the best that was in him
and fit him for useful citizenship
should be cut down by disease on the
threshold of young manhood is be-
yond the finite mind to comprehend,
yet we bow in humble submission to
the Divine VIII through whom all
things work together to those who
love the Lord. We refer to young
Bruce Zimmerman, the eldest son of
Mr. o. o. Zimmerman, who died last
Friday and was buried a tired Oak
Grove church Saturday. For nearly
two years Bruce was constant suf-
ferer, the dread disease which seized
him steadily sapping his strength all
the while. Nothing that medical treat
ment and the most devoted attention
of loved ones could do served to stay
the progress of the malady. Through
out his long, tedious illness Bruce
manifested strength and Christian
fortitude that were beautiful. He
trusted in the Great Physician who
relieved his suffering by taking him
to the home eternal in the Heaven
which is prepared for all who are
faithful to the end.
The funeral was conducted by
Rev. George w. Bussey, great uncle
of Bruce. From his boyhood Bruce
had been a member of Red Oak
Grove church.

enthusiastic meeting in the Court
House Tuesday night and after dis
posing Of routine business selected a
slogan and awarded the $40 offered
in the contest. About twenty partici-
pated in the contest and\all were

Bailey by selecting the one submitted
by her: ,"All For Edgefeld; Edgefield

in Greenwood, to Mr.. Dorm Harvley,

Miss Mary is we'll remembered

On Saturday morning everyone
was shocked to learn of the sudden
death of Mrs. J. F. Fillmore, which
had occurred during the night at her
home here. Heart failure was the di-
rect cause.
For some time she had been n
health, but it was not known that
she was in a serious state.

and resided in the Philippi section.
She was a devoted church membef,
being a Baptist, and before her
health was impaired, she was most
regular attendant.

true wife and loving mother, and the
best of neighbors. She leaves three
daughters, Mrs. Frank Gibson, Mrs.

How Lee Met a Situation.

Speaking of the uprising on Sun
day of the Clemson college students
against the authority of the institu-
tion, citizen of Newberry on Friday
recalled the action of Gen. Robert E.
Lee under somewhat similar circum-
stances when the general was presi-
dent of Washington college, Lexing-
ton, Va.
1t had been the custom of the col
lege to give weeks holiday at
Christmas; but for some reason-a
good reason, no doubt-the faculty
decided that year to give Christmas
day only. The students petitioned for
the entire week, and were refused.
The students decided to have it any
way. A paper was drawn up by the
leaders among themselves not to at
tend recitations during Christmas
week. The news was carried to the
president and the boys were in rebel
lion and were signing the pledge.
Gen. Lees reply was:
every students who puts his name
to that pledge will be sent home. If
every student in the college signs the
pledge every student in the college
will be sent home; and then l will
lock the doors of the institution and
turn the keys over to the board of
trustees"
That brought the young men to
their senses. The paper was destroy
ed by the students. There was no
holiday except Christmas day, and
nobody went home.-Newberry OBJ
server.

one and one-half to four ounces per
weighing.
"Yard sticks in dry goods stores
E-213 were examined, eight were ad-
justed, eight condemned and five con-
fiscated. They were found to be one
fourth to one inch to the yard short.
The stick one inch short saved to the
merchant in every Sc yards sold one
yard. So if 200 yards were sold in a
day by this stick, there was a gain
for the merchant of 5.55 yards a
day. Pretty good profit day for one
one yard stick one inch short.
"Of all the work done by the in
spectors in the city we found only
one man that objected to having his
scales adjusted. However, he was per-
suaded that it would be best to COM
ply to the laws of the weights and
measures of South Carolina. This
work was done by A. H. Gilbert, Jr.,
H. S. Kennerly, inspectors of weights
and measures. THE State.

Immense Losses by Short
Weight.

Inspection of scales and measures
in Columbia by representatives from
the office of Commissioner of Agri-
culture Harris reveals something OF
the losses the public sustains in trade
by short weight and measure.
Of the 379 pairs of scales inspect
ed the last few weeks, only l38 or a
little more than one-half were found
correct; 80 more pairs were sealed
as satisfactory after proper adjust
ment had been made; 32 pairs were
condemned until adequate repairs
be made and Is pairs were confiscat-
ed.
Five yard sticks used for trade
were confscated. These were found
to be from one-fourth of an inch to
one inch too short. With fancy rib
bon selling as high as SIS a yard,
the merchant would thus gain one
half inch or SO cents additional profit
on each yard thus measured.
Only two dry measures out OF 3oo
inspected were confscated, the re-
naming 354 being sealed as satisfac-
tory. No liquid measures fell below
requirements. Eight yard measures
were adjusted, eight repaired and five
condemned. Only one Columbian OBJ
jected to having his scales adjusted.
Concerning the benefits to be de-
rived from such inspections, Mr.. Har-
ris says:
averaging all articles sold today
by weight in stores the value of one
ounce is one and one-half cents. If
scale is operating against the pub
lie one ounce at each weighing and
if we weigh 100 weighings a day, the
public has lost S1.5O a day; 313 days
i'm TIE year in which business is done
the pubuic has lost $459.60. So you
see that there is perfectly good
profit in a scale that is out of balance
one ounce in each weighing.
"Thirty-two scales were condemn
ed for repairs. These scales were
operating against the public from

Mr.. H. G. Gardner of Helena, Ga,

ing relatives in the Antioch section.
He came to Augusta as delegate to
the B. Y. P. u. convention and came
on to Edgefeld for a few days. He
is engaged in the mercantile business
in Helena and also owns an interest
in the Eureka Mineral spring, which
property is being developed as a
pleasure and health resort. The
analysis of the water is very fine and
its use is steadily increasing.

OF mysel1 at the amount of ignorance
l have accumulated in my life time.
This old soldier upon discovering that
l was from the South began to talk
about the war, correcting himself
when he used the term rebel, saying
Confederate instead. He wore a.
badge made from rebel bullet. Time
heals all sorts of wounds, even those
of defeat, so that good natured ban
ter was entirely possible between US.
There was some South Carolina
money in the museum used during
the war between the states. 1t was
paper and for the amount OF ten
cents. always feel that l have a
personal right TO anything with South
Carolina written in it. Last year in a
museum in Salem, Massachusetts,, II
saw a beautiful South Carolina flag
captured in the war, in perfect
state of preservation. hated terribly
to leave it in such loveless hands.
Some day in Faneuil Hall there
will be a veteran of the late war to
take the place Of the venerable SOL
dier there now, but citizens from
every state and almost every country
will agree with him in his attitude,
for the dividing line will not be the
Mason-DiXon one, but the Rhine. l
hope there will never be another
war, for there is something more pow
erful than wars, as someone has said,
and that is "an idea, when its time
has come" Perhaps the idea of peace
has fully come. In Charleston and
Boston these "old peaceful streets,
pierced and built for the fruitful
circulation of interests and ideas,
and which are not made for the mon
strous rolling of the wheels OF wal"
should not be disturbed again.

Branch again.
Everything is kind of blue now,

til the grain is looking sorry in this
neck of the woods. Farmers are pre-
pairing to sow spring oats. In some
places they have already been sown.
There will be very little cotton
planted to the plow this year in this
community. That means corn, peas,
potatoes, peanuts, cane etc., will take
the place of cotton. That means more
to eat and less to wear.

Miss Florence Minis Writes of
Historic Faneuil Hall.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
The waves of the Atlantic wash
the shores of two famous states and
form the harbors of the largest cities
of those two states, namely Boston,
Massachusetts,, and Charleston South
Carolina, which, though they are so
far apart seem to me to be very much
alike. They are SO not only for their
mutual historic interest, but for the
dignity that age has given them, and
conservativeness that does not SAVIOR
of stagnation, but rather of a certain
distinctiveness, that has out-lived, as
| it were, twentieth century material
ism.
1 was reminded of the old Charles
ton Custom House and market when
I visited Faneuil Hall the other day.
This building was erected in 1742,
and presented to the town of Boston,
as it was then, by Peter Faneuil. It
was the gathering place for the
American patriots during the stormy
revolutionary days. 1t is now mar
ket place, but with the upper stories
still intact.
Last year 1 went in to see it and
on arriving at the door l found that
a tailor's convention was being held
there. I could have forgiven anything
else, but under the shadow of great
oil paintings and more especially
lovely portrait Of George Washing
ton, speakers were discussing styles
where the Boston patriots discussed
strategy. "Lo! how are the mighty
fallen"
Since this building is so famous I
went again yesterday to see it. On
the top floor is hall of the "Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company"
of Boston, where there are magnifi-
cent flags and innumerable relics of
American struggles. The guide in
