MIR. Melton Makes Plea For
Lyceum Course.

The high schools, the colleges and
the universities of this country are
this season booking .Lyceum courses,
larger and of better quality than
they have ever before booked.
The thoughtful women of Edgefeld
are among those booking one of the
larger and better courses. They see
that Edgefeld is year after year be-
coming greater commercial centre,
and they realize that there are now
on foot movements that will add very
materially to Edgefeld's commercial
growth. This is splendid, and upon
this spirit of progress Edgefeld
should be congratulated.
However, hand in hand with our
commercial growth must go our in
tellectual and cultural growth, for
the practical without the balancing
power of the ethical can never attain
to the highest, nor reach the depths
of Life's best and sweetest.
1t is this thought, reaching a help
ing hand down more especially to the
young of our city that has prompted
the mother-heart of Edgefield to
bring within our gates the clean, the
wholesome, the inspirational in en-
tertainment.
This mother-heart understands
the keen, wide-awake Imagination OF

childhood and of youth, and realizes
that their impressionable characters
will, for good or bad, bear through
life the marks of that which enter
tains.
Upon this ground we appeal to the
citizenship of Edgefeld to support
the Lyceum this season for the good
that it may do childhood, youth and
age.
Your course opens Wednesday
evening, November the tenth with an
excellent attraction. Those who love
the charm and wonder of the human
voice, and love the message of the
violin in the hand of the artist, will
be much more than repaid in this
first attraction the cost of his season
ticket.
Of course, we know already the
answer that the gallant citizenship
of Edgefeld will make to the Lyce-
UNI appeal-that answer will be now
what it has been in the past, with
a bit added.

Subscribe to Export Corpora
tion.

Sometimes the word subscribe
will scare people, but at the present
the cotton farmer must not become
alarmed at this word if he hears 1t:
within the next few weeks by one
canvassing for the Export and Import
Corporation. The farmer must not
depend any longer on the Federai
Reserve banking system to handle
his crop and must not depend on the
Cotton Exchanges to market his cot
ton for him and still expect great,
big price for COTTON. Mr.. Farmer,
if you care anything about yourself
and your neighbor and want to see
your market conditions improved, we
suggest that you do something to get
the work of the Export Corporation
started. There will be three meetings
held in the county next week. Now,
you stop your fooling and go to one
of these meetings and do something
after you get there. Below is the
schedule:
Monday, November 18th, II a. my
Edgefeld Court House.
Tuesday, November 10th, 10:30
a. M, Red Hill school; 500 p. M,
Johnston.
South Carolina has already sub
scribed over a million dollars to the
Corporation, and cotton will begin
moving next month. What have you
done?
Do not get the idea that your are
giving something away when you
take stock in this corporation. You
are guaranteed per cent interest
on your money and besides you wiz
get patronage dividend. So you
have all to gain and nothing to lose
DO YOUR BIT.

DR.. Davis at the Methodist
Church. s

- I.
Dr. r.. 8, Davis Of Raleigh n { !,
Of The supefnif feffae1ftss
Anti-Saloon League spoke in the
Methodist church on Tuesday even
ing to a fairly good audience. His
subject was "Kill the Tiger and Save
the Boy"
One of the questions he asked was,
Glow many towns in South Caro-
lima will tell stranger who visits
them that the finest asset in that
town is the splendid young manhood
which they can boast o8?" He said
the greatest need of this country to-
day is Men, and said the duty of the
hour for all citizens, both men and
women was law enforcement and
that the people must be doing some
thing if they mean to keep their oath
as American citizens to stand by the
Constitution.
He said the 18th Amendment was
here to stay, and that the driest
Congress we have ever had will be-
gin to serve at the next session, which
is the expression of opinion of the
American people, and that there will
not be, therefore, any repeal or
modification of the Volstead act for
law enforcement, and which distinct
lv specifies that more than one-half
of one per cent alcohol is intoXlcat-
ing.
DIR. Davis was present at the Ma
tional Democratic convention in San
Francisco when the governor OF New
JERSEY was there and Burke Cochran
proposed to introduce the wet plank
in the Democratic platform. He saw
it voted down with enthusiasm. Cicero
saws that hatred incurred by virtue
and courage is glorious, but how de-
feated is a man who goes down hat
ed because he has been faithless to
his trust.
DIR. Davis said he was an enthusi-
astic supporter of Woman's Suffrage
and had been ever since he found
that it was being fought by the liquor
and vice interests. He said they knew
if women secured the ballot these
interests would speedily go down to
defeat, and that all sheriffs, mayors
and officials might as well take the
massage of the 10Th Amendment as
a signal to do their duty or step out
and let some body come in who Will
do it.
The subject of woman's suffrage
has bene fought by the ignorant, and
used by scheming politicians to catch
their ear, by law breakers who feared
the women's influence and by men
who wink at lawlessness and license
because they can better serve their
personal and commercial interests,
and they do not want the gulle!less
and honest and unselish investiga-
tion of women into their affairs.
Women are accustomed to detail
and want to get at the bottom of
things. They will use the same tactics
in politics that they have been using
in their neighbors' affairs and will
know all about what is going on sub
rosa and in the open. Sometimes they
will think the evil is there when per-
haps it is not there, but so vigorous
" will they challenge the imaginary
specter that the real article will fear

things at night" They are uneasy
and apprehensive by nature, and will
be believing in the ounce of preven-
tion rather than the pound of cure.
They will be critical and exacting,
too. in matters of law enforcement,
as the men sometimes think they are
in the home. For instance, this week
when Mr.. Melton was here assisting
the Civic League to sell Lyceum
tickets, he said to one of the women
in pleasantly, Well, we are not go,
ing to put any of you women in j all
for not coming up to our expecta-
tons" and he was pleasantly startled
when the reply was made, "No, we
will not go to that Jail until it is fit
ted up in proper manner for ladies
to occupy according to humanitarian
and sanitary standards"
"But they're broken loose forever,
and fear our fate is sealed
Since they got the little ballot in
the mornin'.
