down the list l put a cross mark by
the names of all the Southern can
didates. That was the best could
do, and I proceeded into the Audi
torium. AS entered the hall which
was also most carefully guarded, I
said to the lady in charge, 81 have
had considerable trouble getting in
here, will there be any difficulty in
getting out again?" When she assur-
ed me it could be done if necessary,
I entered, and to my delight, Mrs.
Calhoun of South Carolina was speak
ing. This address on Tomassee Noun
tain School which is the only one
supported by the National D. A. R.,
was very sympathetically heard and
much applauded and resulted in
good contribution for the school.
There were, or still are at this time
fourteen hundred accredited dele
gates to this Congress. They are all
descendants of Revolutionary an
cestors and hail from every state in
the union, most of them women in
middle life and many advanced in
years, all handsomely, if not becom-
ingly dressed, many wearing bars
denoting the number of ancestors
they had in the Revolutionary, from
one to as many as fifteen or more.
In all that great conc6urse of wo-
men there was no familiar face ex-
cept that of Mrs. Calhoun and /
think Mrs. DuVall, State Regent,
who occupied the first seat in
the South Carolina section. But 1
did not recognize any of the other
women from my state, nor did 1 have
an opportunity to investigate, as /
left before the session closed.
The Corcoran Art Gallery was
open, and we went in for an hour or
more. Here took cursory glance,
literally running glance,
which was exactly what I did. saw
every picture and every piece of
statuary and those want to see
l can find again. I thought of our
Edgefeld artist, as I saw several wo-
men seated at the canvass, copying.
One landscape and the other
a portrait Of George Washington.
AS was ascending the steps, saw
two rather odd looking men coming
down, delicate and refined looking,
and yet with a full growth of beard
on their faces. They riveted my at
tention and after they had passed, l
turned and looked at them as they |
walked away. Both of them had soft
long hair, and plated and hanging
down his back, the other was plated
and coiled in the BACK like a wo-
mans. was told that it was re-
ligious sect, and then l began to Won
der where they had their Biblical au-
thority, for 1 thought it was taught
that men should cut their hair. FL
nally, decided they must. take their
from the fact that Samp-
som was invincible as long as his
hair remained long and powerless
with it cut.
Without having. seen many cities
in their entirety, | am sure that
Washington must be the most beau
tiful and spacious and looks now as
if they had just had spring clean
ing preparatory to the wonderful
opening of bud and leaf and the
summer sunshine-and the meeting
of the Southern Baptist Convention
in May which we hope to attend and
at which other Edgefeld people are
expecting to be present even if rooms
are seven dollars day.

Two Distinguished Visitors.

In 1880 DR.. ]. A. L. Waddell was
assistant professor of mechanics in
the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute
of Troy N. Y, at the time that Mr..
Thomas IT. Rainsford attended this
institution, and Mr.. V. H. Hewes was
a class-mate Of Mr.. Rainsford at
Troy. Greatly to his surprise and de-
light these two gentlemen, whom he
had not seen in forty years, visited
him Friday. DR.. Waddell is regarded
as the highest engineering authority
in the world upon bridge construc-
ton. His exhaustive treatise on
bridge engineering has been accept
ed as unquestioned authority through
out the world upon this subject. He
was professor of bridge engineering
for several years in the Imperial
University of Japan. DR.. Waddell
now has Offices in Kansas City ard
New york and Mr.. Hewes, who is
likewise civil engineer of national
reputation, is associated with him.
They came to Columbia to confer
with the State Highway Commission
concerning the construction of a
very large bridge across the Santee
river, and while there came over to
pay Mr.. Rainsword a visit. 1t is re-
GREETED that their stay in Edgefeld
was so short.

are coveted by the girl in the large
town The "girls with the hoe" who
started countryward from Philadel-
phia were not exactly clad in over
alls, but they had them in their grips,
which also contained grass clippers,
agricultural text books, cold cream,
mosquito netting and other articles
indispensable to the pursuit of life,
happiness, crops and insects on the
farm.
All of the girls were enexperienc-
ed as agriculturists, never having
planted anything but bulbs in pot,
and never having cut anything ex-
cept dress goods, the pages of a book
and cuticles. The group included
stenographers, department store
girls, college women and manicurists.

quail dialogues and violin mimicry.
Among those who have heartily rec
commended his programs appear such
names as Florence NJ. Kingsley, DR.. S.
Parkes Cadman, Strickland Gillian
and Edward J. Wheeler, editor of the
Literary Digest. Mr.. Taggart has APP
peared 200 times in New York city and
vicinity alone.
Descriptive of his own work he says:
eff you are contemplating spending an
evening with me / can assure you that
I shall be delighted to see you, and
trust that we shall enjoy ourselves to
the fullest extent. My aim is neither
to teach nor preach, to advise nor lee
ture. I shall not seek to give you In

burdens from your life for one evening

YOUNG SAM BARNETT HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Boy Carried By Swift Cur rent of Swollen Stream
 Under Bridge

Sam Treutlen Barnett, age II, son of MT. and Mrs. $. T. Barnett of Forrest Park, had a narrow escape from drowning during the rain of yesterday.
 Sam. his brother, James, age 14, and Proctor Barnett, his cousin, went out into the back yard when the rain came up yesterday to have some fun
 They soon found their way to the golf grounds of the Country Club, where they rolled in the grass and waded il
 the pool for awhile until they reached
 the stream which runs parallel to Fair mont avenue.
 Sam concluded that he would try and cross the stream which was swollen
 on account of the heavy fains. The
 swift current immediately caught him
 up and carried him down the stream 1 over a hundred yards.
 The current swept him under f bridge of which the water was nearly reaching the top. He was somewhat stunned, put all tne ume he was trying to catch hold upon q root or rock or something that would aid him to get n foothoid. The other two boys ran along she side of the stream in an effort to aid him and one time James plunged | in and caught hold of him, hut, owing to the swift current he had to let him go.
 Dr. Frank Willis Barnett, who was 1 notified of the occurrence, ran further I ahead down the stream to head hin | off, but by this time the waters ha6 twashed. out of the regular channel O. the stream and was running out into I the street, and Sam was washed ou against the curbstone.
 He was in an unconscious condition when he was picked up, but later re | sponded to continued efforts to brint l him to. He was taken home by hi 1 fat and mother and is resting well l though he is in a badly bruised con. l dition.
