dered by Mr.. and Mrs. G. NJ Reaves
of Proctorville, N. G. on Friday even
ing, this date being the twenty-fifth

both these decorations and the music
of the evening combined to create a
truly nuptial atmosphere.
The guests were welcomed by Mr..

Dorm, who lives at his fathers old
homestead, where my father used to
oversee for James Dorm. 1t was the
place where be lived when he gave up
his position to join the Confederate
army. After being in the army short
time he contracted case of measles
and was sent home. In short time
he died. All readers of these lines i'm
agine my feelings upon visiting this
place in my seventy-thlrd year. On
the old Dorm place l saw some of my
fathers work still being used, two lot
gates in particular that he made before
he died February s, 1865.
Inext visited in what was known as
the Good Hope section, then to Saluda
and Batesburg. From Batesburg I
journeyed to Graniteville and Augusta,
returning to Graniteville. Next l went
to Edgefeld again ard then went
through the country to Greenwood for
start back to my home in the Lone
Star State.
Now / want to say in I'll candor that
everywhere l went met with hearty
welcome, and my life is too far spent
for me to ever forget the exceedingly
pleasant trip. Time and space forbid
my writing of all l met withs as L
would like to do. l haven't written
as much about my trip as | expected to
do, but dear readers, remember that 1
will be seyenty-three yearsold the 18th
day of this month, February.
In conclusion 1 wish to say to all
who are interested, that l am enjoying
good health, and that this country has
surely made bumper crop of cotton
only to be sacrificed. Yesterday our
campaign was begun to establish
Federal Farm Bureau, which it is to be
hoped will bring about better times.

TEXAS LETTER.
Mr. E. M. McCreless Writes of
His Visit to Relatives and
Friends in Edgefeld
Last Summer.

Since my trip to my beloved native
State last summer it seems overwhelm-
ingly dear to me- l wish to recall the
places visited after reaching South
Carolina. The first place that found
any one knew was in Greenwood, and
l hadn't seen any of them in about
fifty years. Still l knew them just as
soon as l found out who they were.
After tarrying in Greenwood for a
short time sailed by rail to McCor-
mick. Afterwards. back to Greenwood
and thence to Ninety Six. From there
l went through the country travelling
in various ways. Partly with an old
friend, Rev. Sam Whatley. For a
while in an auto and then footback.
Next in buggy with colored man
who had pity on me and offered me
seat. This was the second day. When
my ride was at an end with the negro
! had all the road to myself for several
miles. 1t was warm day in August.
too. l was then picked up by two
young men WHO were motoring through
the country. These young men deliv-
cred me to another young man who
was travelling in buggy, and he took
me to the home of my dear old friend
and companion, C. M. Williams. My
next visit Was to Edgefeld; then back
to Girls home.
Soon afterwards l made trip into
what we used to know as the Dutch
settlement. taking in the country
around Sleepy Creek church and my
dear old home church, Stevens Creek.
Then 1 wended my way back to my
dear old friend Girls Williams, but to
see him linger and die. In short
time returned to the Dutch settle
ment, where large portion of my
childhood days were spent. Oh, what

we could wish. In order to know
where we stand / want to urge that

There has been a good spirit of CO.

is not difficult to clip a pledge from
the county paper and mail it to me.
Organization means in effect unit
ed for a common purpose. 1t means
with us cooperation as to acreage re-
daction, and pledged to reduce to the
point where cotton will become
scarce. Unless we sign these pledges
no one can give definite information
as to what Edgefeld county will do.

Miss Florence Minis Sees "Real'
Americans" at Ely, Minnesota.

Dear Advertiser:
spent last Weekend in Ely, Min
nesota, town about twice the size Of
Edgefeld, perhaps fifteen or twenty
miles from the Canadian border.
Between Aurora and Ely near a
place called Tower, there is a large
Indian Reservation.
When we passed through this town,
I walked up to the forward coach to,
see what the train official called "real
Americans. At first l thought he
meant ordinary Americans like my
self, of which there are few enough
here to make US particularly con-
spicuous.
On reaching this coach, I found,
greatly to my delight, that he meant
Indians, for seated there were real
swarthy Chippewas, with red SKIN. and
very black hair. 1 have never been
able to repress my enthusiasm, and

nearly everything needed can be rails

and when you sell it, knock out the
middle man. When you sell cotton, it
is a self evident proposition that you
are contributing by the sale your
proportionate share to the livelihood
of the cotton buyer. has he always
given you a fair price and a fair
grade? There is no use to back and
fall on it. You do not know. 1t
stands to reason since the average
cotton buyer is in that business to
make money, that he buys as cheaply
as possible and sells as dear. A few
years ago public weighers for cotton
were provided for Next in order, pro-
vision was made for official graders.

stand anything at all that l said, for
besides being English, my speech
had Southern accent, but the tone
of voice cne uses is ineligible when
words are not. l wonder whether the
papoose's name is some characters
tic prae-nomen like Eagle-Eye or
Cross Feather or whether it was Tom
or some other adopted American
name.
The papoose was wrapped in a
plaid Indian blanket and lying in a
little cradle, which the mother would
hang on her back when she left the
train.
The Indians on the shores Of the
Atlantic were incensed when their
land and hunting grounds were usurp
ed by the English. Now they have
been pushed farther and father west,
and these last habitations are in the
line of march Of the great northern
European hordes who are populatlng
this part of America.
The history of the Indian race cer-
tainly repeats itself for wherever
they find new home, they are soon
er or later followed up by more Eu-
ropeans.
However small the number of re-
manning Indians may be, the name
they have given the state of Mime,

towns will always remain, as we'll as
their quaint legends and their inter,

The white birch trees, the lovely
lakes, the fleet footed deer, and tho
forests, seem made for the Indian, OF
the Indian made for them.
Beside them, the white man seems
a stranger in strange land, for,
"One loved the solitude, the fores
paths,
The lonely night, the voices Of the
stars,
The rain upon the roof, the seen
of trees.
The light upon the hill, the oper

comradeship,
The bustling streets the plaudint

The council hall, the camp, the bat

The glare and tumult of the vic

viously decided to, invite musicians
to come and the entertainment would
be for the pleasure of the public.
The giving of the medal to the pu-
pill making best average at High
School was discussed and Miss Fran
ces Turner and Mrs. E. B. Dasher
were appointed to decide on the
grade and the prize or medal.
An invitation was read from the
Edgefeld Music club inviting the
president to attend Reciprocity day.
An excellent p rogram on "Lulla-
bies" was had, Mrs. o. D. Black lead
ing. In opening she said sWe like to
know the origin of everything and
we could readily decide that the first
lullaby was the grooming over the
first child of Adam and Eve. Ever
since then, mothers have followed in
her wake and nothing stands out in
our remembrance as the lullabies
sung tor us in our childhood. The
mother love then has crept in as
theme for many of our musicians,
and finds expression in numberless
compositions under the classification
of lullabies.
The program was composed Of
paper on the subject and several pia-
no and voice selections. The hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Minis Walker and
Miss Orlena Cartledge served a tempt
ing salad course.
