Philharmonic Music Club En-
tertained.

The Philharmonic Music club was
very delightfully."- entertained by
Mrs. A. E. Padgett and Miss Gladys
Padgett on Wednesday afternoon of
last week si aere pro city
meeting and the Edgefeld Civic
League was represented by Mrs. Ed
wards, the president, who gave a re-
port of the work of that organization
which has made so many improve
ments in the town. The Winthrop
Daughters were represented by Miss
Katherine Minis, and the Harmony
School Improvement Association, by
Mrs. Jeff Wright. The inclemency of
the weather prevented other repre-
sentatives of the county clubs being
present. A letter from Mrs. Corn,
telling Of the phases of the Fedora
tion work that need stressing, was
read to the club.
The musical program was unusual
ly lovely, the first number being a
vocal solo, "Of Thee Pm Thinking,
Margherita, and "Her Rosen by Miss
Rainsford which were greatly enjoy
ed. Mrs. Tillman played eur Elise"
Beethoven, displaying much skill and
clear technique. "Barcarolle" from
"Tales of Hoffman was a violin duet
by Misses Rosela Parker and Annie
Wilson. Miss Norris sang "Love's
Flowers Shall Bloom" which COM
pleted the program.
Mr.. Nixon, manager of the Paul
Ryman concerts was then introduced
and made a proposition to the club
which was voted on and accepted. 1t
was decided that the Philharmonic
Club with the u. D. G. would bring
Mr.. Ryman, the noted tenor, to Edge
field for a concert at an early
date. This will be most un-
usual opportunity to hear an artist
of his note,. and it is hoped that this
will meet with success.
The hostesses served block cream
and cake at the close Of the pro-

Are You Farmer or a CIod-
Hopper?

When a manufacturer or merchant
fixes price for his wares which al
lows him profit above the cost, and
then holds his goods on his shelves,
or in his factory until somebody
comes along and pays that price, we
call that "good business" and ap-
proved generally; but let group of
farmers do the same thing, it's pure
speculation and boarding, and every
body, from the man who parches pea
nuts to the one-horse country banker
and up, denounces him.
The merchant or manufacturer
who takes steps to. get a fair price
is a good, estimable citizen. The far
mer who uses the best resources at
his command, who tries to protect
his wife and children and assure them
a decent living, is a "vicious hoard
err" "profteer," and maybe a
"Bolshevik."
Farmers, aren't you sick and tired
of this silly stuff that the "knocker''
is handing you. hear something each
day in Edgefeld about "organiza-
tion" of farmers. The old "knocker'
says it can't be done, in fact few
knockers tell me the farmer "hasn't
sense enough to organize" and mar
ket their crops. Whoever tells You the
farmer can't organize himself and
sell his products is an "ignoramus.' D
It's true you can not organize "Clod,
hoppers," but you can Farmers.
Please get your dictionary and ascer,
tain the meaning of Farmer" and
"Clod-hopper," then decide which
class you desire to be placed in.
It. is estimated that Edgefeld coun
ty has about seven hundred tillers Of

that of some of our most insensate
cotton buyers. There never will be a
better time than now for the farmers
to get themselves together and put
into operation business principles
which will bring success as sure as
to remain as we are has brought
Failure. Yes, Failure is what I said,
and unless we shake off the shackles
of present-day methods the word
Failure will fail to express what the
result will be. Here we are with a
normal crop of cotton on hand and
world full of people freezing to death
because they haven't enough clothes
to keep them warm, and cotton is
about as cheap as dirt. There must
be cause for all this cheap cotton,
and these thinly clad people. Now,
where does the trouble lie? Let's give
ourselves credit for letting the other
fellow tell US how to run our busi-
ness, when to make our notes due,
when and how to sell our cotton, then
resolve within ourselves that if our
Great God of heaven will have mercy
upon US and forgive US of our past
records as poor managers, we will,
by His help, use what little gray mat
ter He has given US and show the
Guano agent, Bank collector and old
Mr.. "Knocker" that we can manage
our own affairs in such a way that
we will eventually owe no man any,
thing save good will. Farmers let's
get busy and cut out all our past
wrong, plant less cotton, pool that
cotton we do produce together in q
marketing system, conducted by our
own farmers, and then in mighty
short time we will show the cotton
mills of our country who they will
have to talk to in order to buy cot
ton!

Paul Ryman Pleases Augusta
Audience With Beautiful
Recital.
Recital.

Mr.. Paul Ryman gave an hour of
genuine enjoyment last night at the
Grand when he was presented by Mr..
Benjamin H. Nixon, in a song recital.
Mr.. Ryman has a voice of beautiful
quality, and wide range, and also
sings with an intelligence and dis
eliminating Interpretation that made
every number pleasure.
His voice has the richness and
strength of dramatic tenor, with
the clear sweetness in its upper reg
lister more suggestive of a lyric voice.
His opening number Celeste Aida
that song ever dear to tenors-was
we'll received and displayed much of
the finest qualities of his voice, and
his following group of old English
songs were very charming.
But all of his American songs were
especially beautiful, and nothing
could have been lovelier than each
of the three songs in his second
group. The gem of the program how
ever (Which was very short) was his
"Vesti La Giubba" from Pagliacci,
which he sang magnifcently. He re-
sponded in one or two encores but his
audience would have liked to have
heard him in number of other sell
ections. The sympathetic, charming
accompaniment of Claire Svecenski
added much to the concert.
There were two very lovely groups
of songs rendered by Miss Grace
Stephens of Atlanta. Miss Stephens
is young singer just making her de-
but, and she has not as yet gained
sufficient confidence in herself to let
her voice to it's fullest capacity, but
it is extremely sweet and clear, and
she sings with a correct placing of
her notes, and a smoothness and bird
like quality that made her songs very
charming, and as she gained in conf
dence the beautiful training her voice
has received was evident. Her Eng
lish songs were especially good, and
the accompaniment of Miss Nan
Stephens was pleasing.
The audience was a very represen-
tative one, and one unusually large
for musical attraction in Augusta.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Ryman will
be heard again here, for he made a
most delightful impression last night
with his beautiful voice, and also
won many friends personally since
coming to Augusta.-Augusta Chron-
icle.

Effects of Constipation.

Constipation causes stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the sys-
tenn and often poisons the blood and
causes numerous disorders. No one
can afford to neglect his bowels. A
dose of Chanberlain's Tablets will
affords relief. Avoid drastic cathar-
tics as they take too much water out
of the system and their use it likely
to be followed by constipation.

A Day on Wine Lake.

A Day on Wine Lake.
Dear Advertiser: atI
Last Saturday I had one of the
most thrilling experiences of my
whole life, and they have been rathS
er many. 4
A party of eight of the faculty
were invited to a spend-the-day party
five and half miles from Aurora,
up on Wine Lake.
Knowing that the deep snow would
be rather tedious for long hiking, we
dressed in our most rustic clothes
and took the omnibus, which left
town at ten of ten, and rode to what
is known as the dam on the shore of
Wine Lake. At this point the wilds
of the woods begin. &
The mist on the tree tops and the
deep snow on the solidly frozen lake
give the landscape a charm that cam:
not be reproduced on canvass nor ads
equately described by the pen, fols
they both lack the vivid sensation Of
reality. s
We walked straight over the midsS
dle5of' the frozen lake-an all afetalled'
to mind the story of Peter walking
on the sea of Galilee. In the fall, I
had sailed up this same lake in a
boat, and at that time, l scarcely
would have believed it if 1 had been
told, that few months later / would
walk over this same surface and not
fall through.
However, so many heavy sleighs
had been driven over the road that
it seemed that the waves had frozen
while in the air, so broken up was
the large sheet of ice. In some parts
of the road, it was task to put one
foot before the other, for every step
necessitated climbing over a bank of
snow.
Two of the girls went ahead, and
we rejoiced to see them, at the end
of mile and half, turning off to
the cabin only a short distance from
the lake shore. Two of the gentlemen
of the faculty, Mr.. Kirkpatrick and
Mr.. Aase were the hosts and one of
them came to greet US on long skis,
so that the feet reached US about a
half yard before his welcoming hand
grasp.
What could be better than real
rustic cabin, made out of round logs,
with the bark still on them with the
white oirches growing outside and
the chipmunks and birds to make
friends with? On seeing that his pic
ture was to be taken, one cunning
chipmunk jumped from his perch on
a stump near the cabin and then
jumped up again, the second time
facing the camera squarely with the
most alert expression on his face, abb
solutely unafraid. The nearer the
kodak came up to him the more
he seemed to pose, seemingly
conscious that he must be wearing
pleasant expression.
had my first toboggan ride down
the hill with four Or five others on
the toboggan with me, and such yells
of pure excitement could be heard as
we went flying down the hill, only to
have to pick up the ropes and pull
the toboggan up the hill again. We
all had the bloom of health on our
cheeks when we came inside to get
warm, but the trouble with outdoor
exercise is that ones nose and chin
get red as we'll as the cheeks. Nature
does not understand the art OF
rouging.
Inside the cabin it was at once
evident that it was owned, neither by
an Indian nor an ignorant trapper
for there was a victrola and a com,
