Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock
Mr.. R. M. Scurry and Miss Myrtis
Cothran were married at the Baptist
pasonage by DR.. R. G. Lee, the cere-
mony being witnessed by the mem.
bers of the bridegroom's family and
a few friends. Both of these young
people are deservedly very popular.
Mr.. Scurry was reared in Edgefeld
and has lived here continuously ex-
cept during the time he was in the
military service as volunteer. He
is the eldest son Of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
R. Scurry, for the past several years
he has held a good position with the
Addison Mills. He is young man of
sterling qualities and exemplary hab,

about two years ago from Spartan
burg to accept a position as stenog-
rapher in the office of the Addison
mills. in which position she has prov
en- to be of inestimable value. Miss
Cothran has greatly endeared herself
to large number of people. Mr.. and
Mrs. Scurry motored to Augusta and
from there they went to Atlanta.
They returned Saturday night. The

of these popular young people IN eX-

Get the Success Attitude.

So long have women contented
themselves with doing the best pos
sible under existing circumstances,
either by chance or by necessity, that
we might be said to have the air of
resignation. We have today the power
to alter existing circumstances just
as much as has any man; wise there
fore is the woman who feels success.
Every woman's life is success or
a failure just as that of her husband.
The results may not show in dollars
and cents but they are there just the
same. The dollars may pass away
and the farm be lost to strangers but
the viewpoint toward all that is good,
the tenacity of purpose and the clean
bodies and healthy minds that the
members of the family carry out into
the world are above price. If we make
them believe in success, they are like
ly to have it.
Success we must think, act, talk.
and live. We must walk around the
kitchen and among our fellows as
though we were in the act of achiev-
ing success, as indeed we shall be. We
must have our worthy dreams and we
must believe that the dream is COM
ing true. AS we think, so shall we be.
If we play the game of success our
vision will merge into the reality

American Legion to Celebrate.

On the night of the 18th of No
vember, the American Legion Post
of Edgefeld County will celebrate
Arn1istice day by a smoker in the
American Legion Club rooms over
the Bank of Edgefeld. All ex-servlce
men are cordially invited to be pres
ent. The meeting will be at 8 o'clock.
One of the features of the meeting
will be the election of officers for
the following year.
All ex-service men are eligible to
become members of the American
Legion, so if you are not already
member you are urged to join. The
American Legion is a national or.
ganization composed exclusively OF
ex-service men, working for the we'll
fare of all ex-soldiers. 1t is doing
great work (; ID can no doubt do bet

post becomes a known quantity IN

Edgefeld county to do its part IN
the national organization is for each
and every ex-service man IN the

L
Edgefield is recognized as COM
munity of social and intellectual cul-
ture, Just a bit different from some
other communities. What has made it
so? There is but one answer: Con-
slant vigilance and unceasing effort
on the part of those who have gone
before US to provide and foster those
things that are conducive to the de-
yelopment of our people socially and
intellectually along right sliness They
provided things that stimulated and
inspired higher thinking and nobler
living. Lyceum entertainments are
factors looking to that end. We can't
afford to do without them, even if
some sacrifice must be made. We to-
day, as community of culture, are
enjoyingthe fruits of the labors and
sacrifices of those who have gone be-
fore US, and we are making conditions
under which our children are to live.
Lyceum courses have part in maxi
ing the atmosphere of community,
and we can not afford to do without
it, If we do our full duty by our chill
dren and those who are to come af-
ter US. Edgefeld did not become a
community of culture in day, in a
week or year. 1t required decades
and generations. Shall we still go for
ward or retrograde?

Farmers Should Organize ..A
Employ Business Experts.

While the farmers of the country
have not gone very far in farm or
ganization and cooperation they have
tried it sufficiently to prove them
selves that it is the one and only way
by which the farmer will get fai1
prices for his products. The farmers
are experts on production, but can
not be expected to know all the ins
and outs of the intricate marketing
game. They can, however, by acting
together, employ the most efficient
business managers and salesmen to
represent them in the markets of the
country and to sell their produce
for them at such prices as to make
farming profitable.
The farmer unorganized has paid
heavy toll to the commission men
and others who perform the distribu-
ton function of farm products Un-
organized, they have also got the
worst of the bargain in dealing with
railroads and usually with legislatures
and Congress. Organized. they can
employ the most scientific traffic men,
standard experts, lawyers, tax author
tiles and other economists who will
fight their battles for them. 1t is not
the owners of the organized capital
who are so efficient in their dealings
with railroads and other organiza-
tions, but it is the men they employ
with the money at hand. The farmers
can now take leaf from the books
of these successful business organiza-
tions ane dmploy their own hired men
who are equal of any in the country.

Life of the Lamented d. A.
Tompkins, One of Edge6eld's
Greatest Sons.

! While the memory of D. A. Tomp-
kins will be perpetuated in countless
ways, through the constructive work
of his own hands and fertile brain
in establishing sundry industrial en-
terprises in North and South Caro-
lima, 'as we'll as in other states, each
standing as monument to it's build
er, yet it is fortunate for the people
who shall come after him, young men
especially, that the story of his life
and achievements has been recorded
on the printed page to be placed in
tangible way before those who need
the stimulus and inspiration that on
ly such life can give.
That biography of Mr.. Tompkins
written by George Winston of Char
lotte, himself genius in the realm
of literature, is just from the press,
should be pleasing information to the
people of Edgefled county. Not many
years after the close of the Civil War
there went out from the hills of
Meeting Street a beardless youth
with resolute determination to
make succ ,ss of life. This lad was
a son of DR.. D. C. Tompkins, his
mother being Virginia Smyly. Gus
Tompkins, as he was known by his
intimate friends, had the good for
tune to be we'll born but he was not
born great, nor did he have greatness
thrust upon him. He achieved great
ness through industry and the full
exercise of native ability, with which
he was richly endowed.
Edgefeld county has had other
sons who have scaled the ladder of
fame to greater heights, men who
have been raised to greater proml-
nence in the political forum than Mr..
