Death of Mrs. Emma Blocker.

On Thursday June 2, the residence
of Mr.. John Blocker was burned anc
Mrs. Emma Blocker was there witt
her son when the unfortunate oc
currence took place.
AS soon as the home was burned
and she saw the situation she said tc
those around her, "Take me to Mat
tie," meaning her devoted niece, Mrs
Rainsford at Edgefeld. She came a:
soon as possible and remained with
Mrs. Rainsford until Sunday after
noon, when she passed on to he'
"home eternal in the heavens"
Saturday night she was not feeling
well and at five o'clock Sunday after
noon she had said goodbye to all hel
loved ones and gone to a better
world. Mr.. Blocker reached her bed
side before she died.
On Monday afternoon at O'Clock
the funeral took place at the Block
er burial ground and the body was
laid beside that of her husband who
was killed in battle in Virginia June
6, 1864, he being but twenty-siS
years of age.
DIR. Dorsett, her pastor officiated
assisted by Rev. G. w. M. Taylor
Mr.. John Blocker was her only
child, and his wife to whom she was
very devoted and the six grandchil-
dren, Misses Emma and Margaret,
Addie, John Jr., Elizabeth and Josie
are the immediate family to mourn
her loss.
Mrs. Blocker had been a member
of Ridge Spring Baptist church for
many years. She was in her S3rd
year.
Besides DR.. Dorsett from the
Ridge, Mr.. Robert Watson and
Messrs. Louie and Burrell Boatwright
attended the funeral and large
number of relatives and friends.
Mrs. Blocker was very much be-
loved by those with whom she was
associated, and she bore her years
so gracefully that few realized that
she had reached such an unusual age.

Should Restrain Evil Doors.

The Advertiser has never INDUCED
in criticism of judges and our courts
but with lawlessness apparently on
the increase, it is difficult to refrain
from criticizing those who are
charged with the serious and solemn
duty of fixing the penalty for violat,
ed law. If the punishment for violat,
ors of law is not for the purpose OF
protecting our homes and society
through restraining and lettering
criminals, what is it for? Then, the
punishment should be suited to the
crime. Whenever the violation of a
law becomes extremely annoying to
our people and menace to society,"
then it is clearly the duty of men who
are clothed with the proper authority
to see that everything possible is
done that will in any way restrain the
evil doers.
The law prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicants is beng
violated in every county in South
Carolina. The transgressors, seem to
grow bolder and bolder, and yet only
in a very few cases and sentences i'm
posed that will have decidedly de-
terrent effect. What does seller of
whiskey care for having to pay a
fine of s10O, or even $500 dollars?
He can soon recoup his loss through
his nefarious business. But, on the
contrary, if these enemies ct society
and good government were given a
term in prison or working on the pub
lie roads, without an alternative of a
fine, it would not be long before this
seemingly growing evil would be
stamped out.
Our only relief can come through
the juries and Judges. With but few
exceptions, juries are respecting their
oaths and are convicting men when
the testimony warrants. Now it is up
to the judges of South Carolina, both
Federal and State, to make violators
of the law feel their transgresslon
to such an extent that they will re-
spect the law. The rank and file OF
our citizenship are powerless to re-
lieve the situation in that respect.

A Texas Letter From E. M.
McCreless.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
am here all alone tonight, and my
mind occasionally gets to rambling,
and of course takes an imaginary trip
back to the dear old home state. 1t
will soon be a year since | left my
home for visit in the east. I can i'm
agine sometime that 1 can still feel
the many hearty hand shakes that /
got on the trip, and the kind words
spoken and the innumerable kind
deeds granted me. For all this tip
my hat and bow my head to all l met
and mingled with on that trip, and
hereby note with joy that I am still
enjoying good health, and am enter
tanning an idea that some day may
again land on South Carolina soil,
and again bring to memory the early
days of my childhood.
This section of Texas wherein I
live has recently had very fine rains
and we have fine prospects of another
good crop, but little encouragement
as to price. Cotton acreage reduced
some but not what it should have
been, according to my views.
The oil boom is still on but is not
very encouraging.
I now close with a request to all
who may meet at the dear old church
es, via, Stevens Creek, Mountain
Creek and McKendree chapel for
worship to remember me.
E. M. McCRELEss.

Evening Musical Treat.

On Thursday evening, Edgefeld
was peculiarly fortunate in having
for an vening's entertainment un-
der the auspices of the Philharmonic
Music club, some of the vocal class
of Signora de Fabritiis. The pro-
gram was rendered at the elegant
home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. B. Jones
on Main street, and as the guests en-
tered each was served with fruit
punch and most Hospitality welcomed
by members of the club, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones.
Lovely flowers everywhere greeted
the occasion and the home was made
most beautiful to receive the honored
guests and their friends from Au-
gusta.
The following program was greatly
enjoyed, Signord de Fabritiis in her
charming and gracious manner an
nouncing the various numbers, and
accompanying the singers as grace
fully and delightfully."- as she had pre-
viously announced the program.
The first number was a group. of
Italian songs by Miss Dorothy Jane
Scallin, student from North Da-
kota. Miss Scallin's voice is very
sweet and the auditors remarked on
the lovely effect of the singing which
not only in Miss Scallin's voice, but
in others, seemed to come so spon-
taneously without any apparent eff
fort.
Miss Margaret Wall of North Au-
gusta sang a group of 18th Century
French songs and later in the pro-
gram, three catchy little flower songs,
The Dandelion, Naughty Tulip, and
Chrysanthemum. These songs were
appropriate to her piquant style of
beauty as we'll as to her voice which
made the sweetest melody.
Miss Miriam Lanham, a pupil of
Prof. Irvine of Augusta, who is as
sociated with Signora de Fabritiis in
her school in Augusta, gave two piano
selections which were vociferously
cheered.
Miss Ruth Tompkins received
cheers before she had sung in recog-
milton of the feet that she belonged
to Edgefeld and was appreciated.
Miss Tompkins gave group of
American songs, one being an Indian
love song "Pale Moon," one "since
We Parted" and "Ecstacy." Her sing
ing ended as it had begun, with ap-
plause.
Miss Scallin gave a second group,
"Good Night, Beloved" by Nevin,
"Sleep That Fits" by Carpenter,
and "Wholl Buy My Lavender?"
This group of songs was also greatly
appreciated by the audience.
The last group of songs was "Flo-
rian Song" by GODDARD and "Ouvtes
tes Yeux Bleus," by Massenet. These
were given in a most charming man
ner by Miss Almeda Petite of Au-
gusta.
All who attended agreed that the
evening was most happily spent and
will long for another such occasion.

When there are no liens you may
know it's a lean year for US farmers.

People are gradually learning that
marketing crop is about as lmpor-
tant as making one.
If the boil weevils are "headed OH,
even father will have to work, ana
he'd better get busy, too.
Farmers of Edgefeld county should
not fare so badly next fall. Ihey
haven't borrowed a dollar this year.
Admiral Sims forgot that space has
been eliminated and that what ne
said in London could be easily heard
in America.
"Keep a stiff upper lip" whatever
that means. In other words, don't let
the weevil break your morale. With
out hope all is lost.
The "sweet girl graduates" are
now in the spotlight. Doubtless the
tsboy graduates" are wondering when
their day will come.
What ought to be done with the
fellow who says this summer that ne
hasn't time to take vacation? Make
him president of the Annanias club.
With the thermometer standing at
100 in the shade yesterday, it appears
that Old Sol is not striking for short
er hours or less strenuous activity.
Everything has not gone against
MS poor fellows. Contrary to past
wears, sugar has gone down at the
blackberry season, instead of going
mp.
Men have an advantage this hot
weather in that they can remove
some clothing but the women-well,
they can't remove any more and go
out on the street.
When you feel disposed to COM
plain of the sitting clouds of dust,
think of the plight of the Pueblo peo-
pie who have been suffering from the
opposite condition.
With human life so cheap in the
commonwealth which lies between
South Carolina and Alabama, it's a
wonder life insurance companies do
not withdraw from it.
In the war that is being waged on
..the boil weevil these should be no
relaxation. This year will decide
whether we can grow cotton or not
under boil weevil conditions.
Wonder what pleasure can be de-
rived by wealthy Northern people who
have gained notoriety through dis
graceful divorce proceedings from
having their pictures in the papers?
we would have called for some
salt when read of that Spartan
burg cow giving AZ pounds of butter
in seven days had not Brother Wal
lace of the Newberr yObserver pen
ned the story.
It's bad enough when two farmers
fall out but when "si& well known
and prominent farmers" fight out an
old feud in the public road, as they
tdid down in Georgia last week, it is
sunspeakably worse.

your paper for an article on "Starva-

submits STATEMENT
ON DANCE PAVILION

+ Timothy Nicholson has submitted
the following pertaining to the pro-
posed establishment of dance pavil-
ion in Glen Miller park:
an a recent issue of The Survey,
the leading sociological journal in this
country, were given some Of the re-
suits of two years investigation Of
dance halls in hundreds of American
cities, by John Phelan.
Zone hundred and eighty replies to
letters addressed to city mayors and
clerks were received. In addition
many other sources were consulted,
including clergy, Juvenile courts, pro-
baton officers and other social
agencies The testimony of all these
is uniform in branding the dance hall
as one Of Americas greatest social
problems: and the verdict is borne out
by the various reports of vice commits
sions, senate investigations and city
recreative surveys.
State laws are becoming more
SLTlCt III TeSdTu W udhtt HcliiS. l. VI -
six city ordinances stipu,ate that halls
used for dancing shall be brightly
lighted; shadow and moonlight
dances are strictly forbidden; provis
ions for separate and proper toilet
facilities for men and women is en-
phasiZed.
''In several cities no dance is al
lowed without the presence Of a spe-
cial policeman and dance matron, both
in uniform, to enforce the law. Other
city ordinances forbid all close dane
ing, such as coast to coast. face to
face, bunny hug and 'shimmy', and
all jazz music is specifically barred.
Some city ordinances forbid dances
to be held within a given distance of
church, a school, or public library,
! and at least one city demands that Sc
per cent of property owners within a
radius of one square must have con-
scented to the use of hall for dane
, ing before permission for such use is
! given.
"If the dance hall is such a nuisance,
! I cannot believe our citizens will per-
nit the establishment of one in our
beautiful city park.
! Respectfully,
! "TIMOTHY NICHOLSON."
