Voting Should be Heavy.

On Thursday, March IL, munich
pal election will be upon the question
of issuing bonds for the installation
of the water and sewerage systems
for the town of Edgefeld. The hold
ing of this second election upon this
question is dop- in compliance with
q request of the recent purchasers of
the bonds, their object being to re-
move every possible doubt as to the
legality of the bond issue. If the de-
sired end is accomplished, the num-
Der of ballots in the election on
March II should be practically the
same as the number cast in the first
election last fall. There were los
votes cast then and there should cer-
tainly be not less than 100 cast in
the second election. If the balloting
is light, it will indicate to the bond
purchasers that our people are taking
practically no interest in the issuing
of the bonds. Whereas, if the num-
ber of votes cast is large or normal,
it will indicate that our people are
behind the issue to man. Every cit
izen who registered should vote, if
not providentially kept from doing
so.

February Civic League Meet
ing.

|. The Civic League met in the Ii
brary for the regular February ses
sion Tuesd"..- afternoon of last week
After an interesting discussion
with the different committees cover
ing the diversified objects of the
Leagues work, it was seen that the
cemetery work was progressing a:
nicely as the weather permitted. The
Lyceum course is proving satisfac.
tory to the patrons, and is also a fl,
nancial success, with a good number
the well known orator, Mr.. Booth
Lowrey, to complete the course as
soon as the flu quarantines he is en-.
countering at other points can be
overcome. The play ground and
swimming pool committees expect to
get their preliminary work done this
spring; the thrift chairman distribu-
ted valuable literature from head
quarters.
The president, Mrs. J. G. Edwards,
and the treasurer, Miss DeLoach, as
alternate, were elected representa-
tives to the convention which meets
in Rock Hill this spring.
After the business session, Mr.. Ar
thur Tompkins, upon request, ad-
dressed the league, explaining the
recently acquired contribution from
his brother, Mr.. D. A.. Tompkins' es-
tate.
Mr.. Tompkins' remarks were full
of inspiration and encouragement.
His explanation of the donors idea
opened a vista of future possibilities.
The legacy, which is to be 8 per cent
of the entire estate, and will very
probably amount $4,000, is to be
divided equally between the library
and the school, and is to be nucleus
with which to commence a magnif-
cent work.
Mr.. Tompkins spoke beautifully of
the love of old Edgefiled that is ever
in the hearts of her sons, wherever
they go, and certaii'y this loyal SEN
tinlent prompted Mr.. D. "A, Tompkins
70 make git tasl should eventually E
bring into being community centre
that will be pride and joy to the
beloved old town.

All Building Material High.

Unless there is a decline in build
ing material, it is not likely that
many new residences will be erected
in Edgefeld and vicinity this year,
Notwithstanding the imperative need
for more houses. Plastering laths
that sold for So per thousand few
years ago are now selling for $25
per thousand. A good grade of floor
ing can not be bought for less than
$115 per thousand. The same grade
of flooring decade ago sold for SIS
per thousand. Other building materi-
al has advanced in proportion.

Celebrated Fortieth Anniver-
M sary of Their Marriage.

An occasion of unusual interest,
landSo one that was attended with great
fjaY8and gladness of heart and soul,
was the recent celebration by Mr..
fand Mrs. George A. Adams of the
|fartieth anniversary of their mar
rage. To the surprise of this honored
asi5,d5 q dearly beloved father and moth
efthe celebration was arranged by
,ftf ,,fttfair children and in order to keep
tie preparations from their knowl-
[e6ge, it was held at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. S. T. Adams at Clark's Hill.
Here Mr.. and Mrs. Adams and all of
EEttteir children, except DR.. George
Adams of New Orleans, gathered for
this unique occasion. Fred came from
Wofford College, Robert from Glenn
son College and Miss Eva came from
Spartanburg. Mr.. and Mrs. James B.
Adams of Plum Branch were also
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams, the
bride and groom of forty years, re-
ceived number of beautiful pres
ents from their children and friends,
among these tokens were checks and
gold coins. A telegram of affectionate
greetings was received from DR..
Adams in New Orleans.
The feast that was prepared for
the occasion was princely, being
served in seven courses. The deco
rations of the long table were unique
and very pretty. Three young ladies
Of the Clark's Hill community, two
of them teachers in the Clark's Hill
school, served as mattresses, and we
rather suspect that those big, fine
looking Adams boys (perchance the
forty-year bridegroom, too) kept
sheir eyes as much on the pretty
waitressess, as on the sumptuous
feast. This very pleasant celebration
Will be source of pleasant memories
10 all who were present for many
year to come. The Advertiser hopes

Miss Florence Minis Writes
From Boston.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
I don't know who originated the
happy idea of holding conventions.
Since the word comes from the latin
meaning to come together, perhaps
some old Roman first instituted it.
At any rate have always liked them
and attended them, whether they
were religious, patriotic, political or
professional.
During the week of February 10Th,
the representatives of the Lockwood
Green Mills came together from va
rious parts of the country. Since
Superintendent Hightower, Mrs.
Hightower, their little child, Vivian,
and Miss Meisenheimer, the compe-
tent Welfare Worker at the mill,
came from Edgefeld, I enjoyed more
than one happy hour at the luxurious
Somerset Hotel on Commonwealth
Avenue with them.
There were number of represent
atives from South Carolina and I al
most turned into a veritable question
mark, for there wasn't anything in
the state that I didn't want to hear
about. On account of the club which
/ have enjoyed working in at the Ad-
olson Mills, I felt like one of the
company myself.
One evening in the "play house"
of the hotel, the actual workers of
the mills, the stenographers ETC.,
gave minstrel and vaudeville enter
tainment. / came in rather late and
did not once suspect that the minstrel
was not given by some eminently
professional comedian. Very seldom
people who handle typewriter, play
On the piano, even though the two do
resemble each other. Here, however,
he amateurs surprised the audience,
US in really profess
;ional manner. I dare say that the
trike spirit has not entered the walls
# the mills of the Lockwood Green
Company, for business with them is
o mixed with pleasure for their en-
'loyees.
Mr.. Hightower, himself, is a type
f this model company for the Addi-
on Mills in Edgefeld have improved
realty under his management.
This convention, like most such
atherings, was highly seasoned with
leasure. On Thursday night a most
laborate banquet was held for the
lembers of the Lockwood Green
company, when little Vivian High
over was presented with big doll,
'hich her mother will probably keep (,
or her to remind her of an occasion !;
'hich, being so young, she may other .
Use forget.
l am glad that the mill manage Il
lent is situated in Boston and my +
My regret was that there might not
ave been some reason why the par !
7 could not have remained at least !.
week longer.
In as large city as Boston, con- q
entions may come and conventions n
ay go, but the same life of the city b
pes on forever, but if the thing t
hich gatherings represent should $
op, the manufacture of cotton
oods, the effect would be decidedly
oticeable. So the South may boast
ot only of the cotton fields, but of
any able managed manufacturing >,
'ncerns also.

Edgefeld Real Estate Not
High.

Mr.. B. Weevil has caused no de-
cline in real estate values in and
around Edgefeld. When property
changes hands it is always at good
prices. The fact is the topmost round
of Edgefeld real estate values has
not yet been reached. Prices only
seem high because our people have
been accustomed to very low prices
in real estate. The prevailing prices
are yet much lower than other towns
of the size of Edgefield.
