To the Democratic Women of
EdeefeId County.

Last week Mrs. R. A. Cooper OF
Columbia called me up over the
phone and insisted that / act as Dem
ocratic Committeewoman for Edge
field county to solicit funds for the
Democratic party from the women
of our county and from the men, too,
if they wish to contribute.
Already the women of other coun-
ties are contributing to this fund.
"The State" of Sunday mentioned
the following gifts from several
counties: Aiken, Mrs. W. B. Duncan,
chairman, SAB; Calhoun, Mrs. T. M.
Wannamaker, s23; Chesterfield, Mrs.
William Pollock, $143.50; Newberry,

Coming! ga Rose Dream
(Synop8is)

Little Rose, who has wandered
away from home and is lost, falls
asleep. The fairies find her and the
Fairy Queen designates Hop-o'-my-
Thumb to guide her through the
Land of the Lost, and later to Fairy
land, her kingdom. Little Rose, with
a band of Roses as her bodyguard,
sees much to delight and interest
her. The fairies with their dainty
charm; the mischeivous elves, who
are never at rest, it would seem, the
giant Forgot-all these she meets
through her wonderful guide Hop
o'-my-Thumb.
In the second part, they have
brought her to Fairylaad ITSELF
where the lovely queen of the fairies
holds court. Can and Can't, the twins
are here, and Little Rose finds tiny
bud amidst her bunch of roses. The
fairies and the elves do their best to
entertain her, the Queen is most
gracious to her, but all this delight
cannot keep a mortal, Little Rose,
from getting tired and sleepy, and as
these are fairies of the day, the
Queen sends Hpo-o'-my-Thumb with
a message to Little Roses mother,
that she will find her daughter sleep
ing meath the lilac tree in the park,
and the last chorus of the fairies,
preparatory to taking flight, leave
Little Rose sleepily leaning against
the Fairy Throne; even her attendant
rosese are drowsy and dropping,
since the Queen tells US
ga mortal child can never stay
In Fairyland but for a day."
And so the fall of the curtain ends
the day in Fairyland and A Rose
Dream.
This charming little Fairy operet-
ia will be given by the children of
the first four grades on Friday night,
October 22, 1920. General admission,
35 cents; school children, 20 cents.

lections, so that the money may be
used as soon as possible.
One woman in another county sent
check for $500 and said: 81 did not
work for suffrage, but since it, has
been granted l think every woman
in the South should shoulder her
share of the responsibility which it
brings"
Every Democratic woman in Edge
field county is asked to contribute at
least S1.0O to this fund. Let us as
patriots of Edgefield county be found
among the loyal and not be regarded
by the women of other counties as
delinquents.
Mrs. Richrd /. Manning Of Column
bia, National Committeewoman for
South Carolina makes an earnest ap-
peal to the women of our state to
come forward promptly and enter
upon the new duties of citizenship.
Mrs. Manning says: "It is the imme-
date duty of every patriotic woman
in South Carolina to register and al
so to contribute to the National DEM
ocratic campaign fund. Formerly it
was just that we should leave it to
the men to raise sufficient number
of Democratic dollars for the legit-
innate campaign purposes, but now
things are different and the respon-
sibility rests on the women as well
as the men,"
The Edgefeld officers. of the Wo-
man Voters League as appears at the
head of this column are authorized
to receive and solicit funds from any
women in our country and the money
can be sent or brought to me at my
home or at "The Advertiser" office.
AS fast as funds come in they will
be forwarded to Mrs. James Cain of
Columbia, State Treasurer.
In few days. if rb report is
made Mrs. Cooper will be calling me
up over the phone to know why there
is no response. I should be ashamed
to say to her that this appeal came
to an Indifferent womanhood. Help
me to prove the patriotism Of Edge
field women. sess' - #

School Banquet and Reception
in Aurora, Minnesota.

lDSAooa DCaAAANSS eaAAA @NSSfsAOAA
in Aurora, Minnesota.
IDear Advertiser:
The old phrase "wined and dined"
lis no longer good form. 1t is only
proper to use the latter part of the
Repression. The Greek Bacchus, and
the American John Barleycorn, are
vanishing specters of an ancient or
der that is changing and giving place
Ito the new.
We were dined on last Friday even
ing at sumptuous banquet given by
| the school board in honor of the Au-
rora teachers.
1.-The dictionary says that banquet
is rich feast. That is an excellent
ldefnition, and I cannot improve up
ION it.
On entering the hall we were
greeted by light, color, and well ap-
pointed tables cleaning with silver.
AT every plate there was tiny card
bearing on each the name of a favor
led guest. Among the many ladies,
there were several gentlemen teach
ers, the superintendent of the school
district, Mr.. Stanley Adkins; the
principal, Mr.. Paul o. Stone, and
fseveral dignitaries, members of the
lAurora school board.
This particular form of repast Of
fords food for the mind as we'll as
the body. The genial toast master,
Mr.. Adkins, put everyone at their
ease and began the programme by
calling on the teacher who had had
the longest term Of service, for a
speech. Her response was very clev-
er as she welcomed the new teachers.
Mr.. Halstrom, president of the board
made an address.
myself am convinced that Aurora
lis an unusual town, for it has won
ders under the earth, in the form of
extensive mines, wonders on the sur
face sof the earth as shown by its
very excellent schools and wonders in
The heavens above in the form of the
sern Lights, or aurora borealls,
which play like search lights across
the sky.
The response to the address of vel
come was given by Mr.. Kirkpatrick
in behalf of the teachers. Mr.. Blan-
chette, also of the school board made
some witty remarks.
Some of the faculty have such
practical names as Barber, Barnes,
Church, Holiday, Sharp, Cross, Tay-
lor, Stone and Soule, Miss Kief ar
ranged these in a number Of puns,
which Mr.. Stone read and.t guests
were soon in peals of laughter.
Miss Helen Church and Miss Mary
Stevens delighted the hearers with
vocal and a violin solo. Miss Barber
gave a piano solo, and the writer OF
this article read two negro dialect
selections. Good cheer and comrade-
ship were the keynotes of the ocea-
sion.
At the conclusion of the program
the guests repaired to the gymnasium
hall, where an orchestra furnished
music for all who wished to dance.
The contrast between the solemn
ity of the school room and the gay
ETY. of social gathering finds a
school teacher enjoying herself more
than the ordinary individual. For the
school teacher has no less a social
side than an intellectual.
The fact that she has been as
sociated more with geography texts
and dictionaries does not make her
the less appropriate in a setting of
japanese lanterns and frills.

Mr.. Willis Holmes and Miss Mary
Smith were married Thursday after
noon at the home of the BRIDE pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Padgett.
The affair was quiet but beautiful
one, the home being artistically dec

lations and good wishes, wedding
feast was served. Later the happy
pair left in their automobile for a
wedding trip, but they did not reveal
their destination.
The bride was very sweet and win

accessories matching, and she carried
a shower bouquet. She is lovable

cations. The groom is assistant post

sterling worth. Their many friends
watt to them loving and sincere good
wishes.

ly hours of Monday morning. The fu-
neral was held Monday afternoon

pear.
The recent w. C. T. U. meeting
was held with Mrs. John Sawyer and
was in the nature of an echo meet
ing, all giving impressions of the re-
cent state convention. A committee
was appointed to aid during next
week which is membership week, a
big drive being on. Mrs. l.. w. Wal
ker of Georgia remained over to Wis
it her sister-in-law, Mrs. T. R. Den
my, after attending the convention
here, and gave talk on "The women
of our state and the maintaining OF
her womanhood." Mrs. Walker is a
gifted and charming woman.
The foot ball team of the Johnston
High school went over to Bamberg
last Thursday to play against the
team of the Carlisle Fitting school.
The visiting team was entertained,
most of them in the school barracks
and the boys all report fine time.
Mr.. William Watson of this place is
one of the teachers, Mr.. Jacob Smith
a student, so there was much mutual
pleasure in the meeting.
Mr.. Cleveland Derrick accompa-
MED the: team from here which ls
composed Of some star players. The
game resulted in score favorable
to Bamberg but the young men SO
enjoyed the trip and really did some
fine playing, that they returned in
such good spirits it appeared they
were victorious. The local team will
play North Augusta here on Friday
afternoon.

Scarlet Days" and is a sensation
filled love story of California in the
days of the Forty-Niners.
The cast Is headed by Richard
Barthelmess and Clarine Seymour, and
includes such Griffith favorites as Eu-
genie Besserer, Carol Dempster, Ralph
Graves, George Fawcett, Walter Long
and others.
The story typifies the rugged in
tensity of life in the gold-rush days
in the early West. 1t tells of the
hopes of dance hall woman for her
daughter, whom she has reared in
ignorance of her own scarlet life.
The mother, defending her dreams, is
involved in a chain of circumstances
that eventuate in her death, but not
until her daughter has learned the
truth. But love survives apparently
insurmountable difficulties, d
energies. triumphant at last. The
main romance is one that carries the
human appeal for which Griffith Is
famous. There is also secondary ro-
nance within the tale which but adds
to it's entertainment value.
The Palace also ANNOUNCES an un-
usually attractive bill of subsidiary
subjects, as well as the musical pro-
