Drive Against Illiteracy by
Cotton Growers Association.

4 y M EidItor:',
The Cotton Growers Association
lof this county has decided to put on
drive against illiteracy from July
Es0thsnext, to continue for 80 days in
E9uri county. The executive committee
llSorgthe respective subsidiary organi-
azIhons in the county is requested to
tselect some lady in each school dis
Etrict and have her organize her
school district for this drive-the
ruFpose of which, is to teach every
l'iliterate white person over the age
IA years to make his or her sig
nature and to learn the English al
tphabet, and to encourage and inspire
Iguch persons to pursue the course
and learn to read and write.
bbssour whole state needs similar
ttdrive;--let Edgefeld lead. Our terri
ttoryHhas been so cut that our iniu-
Fence in matters of state, so far as the
numbers of voters is concerned, is
Emuch reduced, and it behooves US, if
we maintain in history the glorious
Ep,ace inherited, to give better edu-
lcational facilities to our citizenship,
I:and to prepare our people for great
fer: achievements and leadership in all
fields of service.
I have seen some good business
lmen who could not write their names
fbut all such will tell you what great
Handicap it is. Let those persons to
|be, taught, understand that they are
Fapproached with the best intention
|inS the matter, and fol. their own up
Lift, and for the uplift of their fam
lilies and for the uplifi; of the county.
Certainly all reasonable persons
would be much pleased to learn to
write their names and thereby be re-
|lieved Of the embarrassment to them
and their families and the county,
caused by this inability. Our county
is an all zie,'.- - - ! 80,

everybody was invited to partake OF
the bountiful feast that was spread
upon the public table under the trees.
Notwithstanding the large atten-
dance, after every appetite had been
satisfied much of the meats and
sweetmeass were left untouched.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the good people of Sweetwater know
how to entertain their friends and
are gifted in dispensing generous
hospitality in true old Edgefeld
style. The social hour which followed
the dinner was exceedingly pleasant
Early in the afternoon the congre-
cation re-assembled in the church
for the remainder of the exercises.
Rev. j. H. Thayer, the pastor, had to
fill his pulpit in North Augusta in
the forenoon but came to Sweet
water for dinner and had charge OF
the afternoon service, preaching a
very inspiring sermon. He next intro
duced DR.. Joseph H. Sewer, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church OF
Augusta, who selected for his sub
iect the scripture which compares
the growth of Christian to that OF
palm tree. The figure or comparison
was effectively carried out, many
helpful lessons being drawn there
from. Rev. H. R. Chapman ,superln-
tendent of education of Aiken coun-
ty, was present and spoke briefly IN
concluding the exercises, of the great
need for country churches to be up
and doing in order to hold and devel-
op the young people of the rural
districts before they are lured to the
towns and cities.
The music provided for the memo
rial exercise was very inspiring. BE-
sides the organ and more than doz-
en- voices, violinist and cornetist
added much to the musical feature
of the programme.
The sweetwater memorial services
are always inspiring occasions and
those who are in the habit OF attend
ling hope that not one year shall be
allowed to pass without the holding
of this beautiful service. 1t softens
sweetens and ennobles the lives OF
those who are living to set apart one
dav for honoring and paying tribute
Ito the departed members OF the
church and community.

plicity of reporters going here, there
and everywhere trying to get accu9
rate records of what the. town and

not always in the place where there
are the most people that the most in
teresting things are transpiring, as
was evidenced by the experience at
the annual County Home Picnic on
Wednesday. q
Mr.. Allen, the new superintendent
had been notified that the ladies OF
the Johnston, Philippi and Edgefeldl

Mr.. Allen and his gracious wife and
family. "a
Quite number of ladies were pres
ent from Johnston, Meeting Street
and Edgefeld, and large number OF
children taking part in the medal
contests.
The dinner on the table was abun-
dant and large boxes of good things
to eat were filled for the ten inmates
of the County Home, six white and
four colored people, and a bucket OF
lemonade sent to each one. Iced tea
was also provided.
Rev. W. S. Brooke ,of Johnstors
asked the blessing and all who came
had an abundance of dinner served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen furnished the
best part of the dinner which were
spring vegetables, Irish potatoes and
beans and other good things beside.
After dinner everyone congregat-
ed in the chapel with Miss Halle
White at the organ, and the: children
of the Johnston Loyal Tenn ace
Legion entertained the audier, with
songs and readings, Rev. @ $.

For the entertainment of the con-
gregation, Miss Laurie Hoyt, silver

Miss Ora Belle Perry, a gold medal
winner sang "The Better Plan." Miss
Jennie Thrailkill gave Americas
Creed as reading and Miss Louise
Jones read Married to Drunkard. !"
The contestants in defamation
were Helen Walker, Louise Rhoden,

Scott Derrick, Edna Hutto winning
the silver medal.
The song contestants were Virgin

Marjory Kellar, Lois Sawyer, Frank
Glover, Stewart Boyd, Estelle Wright
and Vera Koon. Little Miss Rather

daughter of Rev. and Mrs. David
Kellar, the Methodist minister of
Johnston.
Mr.. A. S. Tompkins presented the
medals and made a talk which show
ed his appreciation of the activities
of Mrs. White and the Loyal Tenn
perance Legion, and was also humor-
Gus and appealed to the audience. He
congratulated the inmates of the
home on having Mr.. Allen as their
superintendent and said if there
could be better man for the place
than Mr.. scurry it was Mr.. Allen.

MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Large Crowd Gathered at the
Sweetwater Church For'
Memorial Exercises. In
teresting Program.

Following a beautiful custom
which was established four years ago,
the members of Sweetwater church
held memorial exercises last Sunday.
Two services, morning and after
noon, were held, dinner being served
at the church. AS the people gather
ed, some travelling long distances in
automobiles, they went at once to the
cemetery and placed flowers on the
graves of scores of friends and loved
ones.
Mr.. C. B. Murrah presided over the
exercises of the forenoon, extending
a very warm welcome to all who were
present, and Mr.. G. L. Toole of
Aiken responded to the address of
welcome. The next speaker was one
who needed no introduction to the
people of Sweetwater community or
the Sweetwater church, Rev. Eugene
w. Reynolds, who served Sweetwater
two years as pastor, leaving this
church to accept pastorate in Sum-
ter, where he has labored successful
ly since that time. Mr.. Reynolds was,
and is yet, greatly beloved in the
Sweetwater community and he and
Mrs. Reynolds received a very af-
fectionate greeting. He selected as
his theme, "Along the Trail of Mem
ory." Mr.. Reynolds is devout, con-
secrated man and his discourse was
very appropriate and inspiring.
While he was pastor four years ago
Mr.. Reynolds suggested or originated
the idea of an annual memorial SER
vice, the setting apart of one day in
each year for paying tribute to those
who are sleeping in SweeIwa1ar cell

Vogle was injured on July 1s, last.

the premium at the time Of injury OF
the workman. The buread officials

paid. and that responsibility for pay
