Essex and Maxwell
Cars

Now that the period of bad roads has passed
and the balmy spring weather has come we
want to demonstrate the superior qualities Of
the celebrated Essex and Maxwell cars to per-
sons in Edgefeld who contemplate buying cars.
We claim, and make good the claim, that
there are no better cars on the market for the
money than these cars. We have satisfied users
of Essex and Maxwell cars over Edgefeld
county who have put them to severe test and
can testify to their worth.
Come in and let US give you demonstra-
tion We have the cars already in our sales
room You will not have to wait for delayed
delivery.

Wednesday, April z.
Both Political Parties at Sea.

While both great political parties
are at sea, here's hoping that the
Democratic party, the peoples party,
will not be submarined, but steered
wisely and cautiously to victory.
Up to this time neither of the par
ties have been able to fully find them
selves. Both have able men in their
ranks but there seems to be no
strong figure in either party silhouet-
ted against the political horizon
above his fellows. While not admit
ting it, each party seems to be walt
ing somewhat on the movements of
the other. At this time the overshad-
owing issue seems to be prohibition.
Away down in Dixie we do not think
of this question as live one, as we
settled it once for all here in South
Carolina decade ago, but in the
North and East they are yet in their
prohibition swaddling clothes. The
old liquor rings in the large cities
that have been having things largely
their own way are dying hard.
There is an element or wing of
both parties that would espouse the
cause of the liquor people but such a
plank will not be popular in the
South and West. The South is as
solid on prohibition as on some other
things, and may it remain so.

Teachers Salaries Increased

In response to a call Of the trustees
of the Edgefield school goodly num-
Der of persons assembled in the
Court House Monday afternoon for
the purpose of devising ways and
means of increasing the funds of the
public schools. The young ladies of
the teaching force requested the
trustees to grant an increase of $40
per month for the remainder Of the
term. The trustees, through the chair
man, Mr.. w. C. Lynch, who presided
over the meeting, also called atten-
tion to the fact that under the pres
ent levy, sufficient sum would not
be raised to employ teachers for an
other year. After some discussion, a
resolution was passed authorizing the
trustees to pay the lady teaches $40
per month from the 1st of January,
in addition to their regular salary.
Mr.. Fuller, the county superinten-
dent of education, stated that if the
people would vote ten mills for school
purposes, which would be only an ad-
ditional two mills, he would be able
to secure from the State sufficient
funds to pay the increase in the
teachers salaries. A petition is being
circulated asking that an election be
ordered to vote on the question of
voting an additional levy.

are urged to attend the meeting next
Monday night at 8 o'clock, in the
Court House.
The consensus of opinion among
those who attended the smoker last
Monday night is that if the older citi-
zens of Edgefeld county will give the
company their moral support, the or
panization can be made success and
a lasting benefit to the county. 1t is
hardly probable that the company
will need financial support because
the government equips the company,
but even if financial support is need
ed the young men want the support
of the older citizens. 1t is hoped that
quite a number of older citizens will
attend the meeting next Monday
night.
The following information relative
to the equipment of tank company
will be of interest to all: Headquar-
tiers; one captain, two first lieuten-
ants, forty-two enlisted men; Each
platoon: two second lieutenants, thir-
ty men; grand total, nine officers,
one hundred thirty-two enlisted men.
This is minimum strength. Twenty
four light fighting tanks, one light
signal tank, ten thirty-seven MN
guns, one rolling rubber-tired kitch-
en- drawn by truck, two motorcycles,
with sidecar, six three-ton tractors,
truck, twenty-five fve-ton tractors,
one trailer, water tank, one one-ton
delivery truck, 141 pistols.
