gives the condition of the public
roads leading from Augusta under
the caption of Highways Weather
Service" The Chronicle of Tuesday
referred to the road leading from
Augusta to Greenville by way of
Edgefeld, as being trough and mud
dy." It is but reasonable to suppose
that tourists and others contemplat-
ing a cross-country trip from Angus
ia to upper South Carolina will select
some other route after getting this
information. Well, for reasons too
numerous to mention, we want to see
all through travel select the Edgefield
route, and they will not do it unless
we make the route passable. .
First, as soon as the weather will
permit, the town of Edgefeld should
put the streets in passable condi-
ton, the Edgefeld link being now the
weakest link in this chain of travel.
We believe the county supervisor
will become Immediately interested
in putting the county road in sat
isfactory condition with the support
and cooperation of the people along
the way.

New Grocery Store

We will open this week fresh
stock of Fancy and Heavy Groceries
in the store recently occupied by Mr..
Israel Mukashy. Everything will be
fresh and of the best quality. We will
hold our expenses down to a mini
mum and will sell for cash, which will
enable us to make very close prices.
We will conduct our store in the
modern way, that of Cash and Carry.
By making no deliveries we can sell
cheaper than if we had the expense
of truck or dray and driver. All we
ask is that you give us trial.
We will be open for business by
Saturday,, February 5.

Bachelor Paul cogbs:rn Enter
ta::-- Beautifully.

One of the most delightful social
functions of many months in Edge
field was the seven o'clock dinner CIV
en- Tuesday evening by Mr.. Paul Cog
burn, to which he invited a score of
his friends. In spite of the lowering
clouds over head and the slush and
mud under foot, making travel by
auto, even la Ford, uncertain and
unsatisfactory, all of the guests were
present. Soon after all arrived they
were ushered into the dining room,
where the long, beautifully appoint
ed table, radiant with cut glass, sill
yer and vases of flowers, presented a
lovely scene. An elaborate menu was
served in courses, the number of the
courses and the pleasant conversa-
ton, interspersed with wit and re-
partee, caused the guests to linger
about the festive board an unusual
length of time. From the, room of
feasting they were invited back. into
the parlor, where the Victrola gave
added charm to the evening, contrib
uting the full benefit of its large and
varied repertoire. Here under the
spell of the Victrola's best time SEEM
ed to turn backward in its flight,
making all of the bellies and beaux
sixteeners again. All of their child
hood games, carrying some of them
back many years and others not so
many, were engaged in. Even the Sc
date and dignified fell in line with
the gay and less grave. The delight

were as follows

Shriners Give Banquet.

Thursday night about thirty Shrin-
ers came together at the Dixie High
way Hotel for the purpose of organ

Club. A permanent organization was
effected by the election of the follow

ident; DR.. A. H. Corley, secretary,
and Mr.. B. R. Tillman, treasurer. At
the close of the business session all
repaired to, the dining room to par
take of a bountiful feast which had
been provided. The room was appro-
priately decorated with emblems of
the Order and the tables were deco
rated with cut flowers. Manager
Vause prepared an elaborate men

courses. At the conclusion of the
feast Capt. Moore, in the role of
toats master, presented the speakers

Potentate of Omar Temple, who
spoke on the OMISSION of the Shrin-

Shriner to his Country and to Each
Other" Mr.. A. L. Traylor responded

The little four-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Birdie Davis was painfully
burned Monday. While Mrs. DAVIS
was out in the garden gathering veg
etables for dinner she heard one OF
the little children screaming in the
house and ran to the rescue, finding
little Ruth's clothes in a flame. Her

burned. In her efforts to extingulsh
the flames, Mrs. Davis hands were
painfully burned. While the misfor-
tune is deeply regretted yet there is
great rejoicing that the little one es-
capped fatal injury.

Encourage Through Travel.

AS soon as weather conditions per-
nit, conference should be held be-
tween the people of the town of
Edgefeld and the county supervisor
to the end that the public road which
traverses the county from the Aiken

main highway used for all through
travel, be put in the best possible
condition. We feel confident that the
supervisor will do his part and we be-
lieve the people along the route will
give him full cooperation.

this matter is because in its issues of

--.. carter very few boys will be
made drunkards through the example
Of Incorporate fathers. There are
not so many drinking fathers these
days. But your boy may become adj
dicted to strong drink by having some
vicious citizen who makes whiskey
place the bottle to his lips. It's time
for right-thinking, 'high-minded men

Produce More Necessities.
In we'll timed editorial few
days ago the Augusta Chronicle urg-
ed farmers to produce more of the
food stuffs that are shipped in this
territory. The statement was made
that the people of Augusta spend
$45,000 per month for butter and
that nine-tenths of it is shipped
from Northern creameries. Here is an
opportunity for South Carolina and
Georgia farmers to supplant cotton
as a money crop with dairying. In
deed score or more of Edgefeld
farmers are already successfully en-
gagged in making butter for the Au-
gusta market, and they find it profit
able. Where there are now possibly
not more than a score there could be
hundreds of farmers who could prof
itably engage in dairying.
But many of our people must
learn that successful marketing de-
pends upon the manner in which an
article is prepared for market. But
ter should first of all be moulded
in uniform cakes containing sixteen
ounces. No more, no less. If more,
you deal unjustly with yourself, if
less, you deal unjustly with the con-

we'll and attractively wrapped. Re-
Gently the writer has seen butter Of

was very carelessly and indifferently
prepared for market. Merchants
should refuse to buy butter for their
trade when it is not properly wrap
ped. The covering should preserve

HAS VARIETY OF MEANINGS
Slang Term "Hookum Snivey," Com mon In East Africa and India May
 Be LiberaIIy Used.

The Anglo-Indian word hoOkum, used also in East Africa, designates an official order, a judgment. There is also the slang term hoOkum snivey with various meanings (1) An imposi- tiOn, such as getting food under false pretenses; (2) One who does this i; (3) A crook of thick iron wire to loosen wooden bolts of doors from without.
 According to the Lexicon BalatrOni- cum," hOOkum snivey is described as feeding a man and a dog for nothing. Three men, one of whom pretends to be sick and unable to eat, go to a public house. the two well men make a bargain with the landlord for their dinner. and when, he is out of sight, feed their pretended sick companion and dog gratis"
 According to Bees Dictionary as ga practice of soldiers in quarters when they obtain grub for nix" Jo- seph Wright in his English Dialect Dictionary" gives hOokem snivey, "an indescribable though simple machine employed by boys in playing at head and harp" He quotes EdgewOrth's "Trish Bulls" edition of 1903. The term is used in DevOnshire for any thing deceitful. tricky, or sly.

IS RESTLESS AGE
Children Only Follow the Ex-
 ample of Their Parents.
Newspaper Asks the Pertinent Cues tion Whether 1t Is Not Time
 to Stop and Think.

'"The poor little rich girl" is no f1c- tiOn, as is demonstrated from time to time when surveys are taken of chil- dren to determine the causes of mal- nutrition and Over-fatigue. The chil- dren of the wealthy or well-tO-dO more often than the children of the poor are found to be under weight or nerv- OuS. Sometimes the trouble is due to careless or improper feeding, though Oftener to the cOmplexity of modern life, says Dr. Borden s. Veeden of St.. Louis, speaking before the section on the diseases of children at the meet ing of the American Medical assOcia- tion, in session In Boston, the Okla hOman states.
 "My little girl never has a leisure hOur-in fact, she is just as busy as I am," said a mother to me one day.
 ''We just cannot keep our children at home in the evening"" said another mother. I've have made a rule that they could not go out to parties or clubs except on Friday and Saturday nights, but we find we cannot en- force it."
 It's the same old stOry-keeping up with Lizzie.
 If your neighbours child must be on the "gO" continually, then, in order to keep the pace, your child must follow that silly example. At least that seems to be the popular suppOsitiOn-keep up with Lizzie if you undermine your health, if you fail to secure a sound education, if you prepare for failure instead of success.
 It is not surprising if the children and young people of today are eternally restless, if they never are content to remain at home, If they find life in- tolerable when their days and nights are not crowded with pleasure and amusements. Children always follow the example of their parents. When the mother belongs to three or four card clubs, literary club or two, at tends luncheOns, teas and dinners, plays golf, sits on committees, dabbles a little in politics, what can you ex- pect of the children? Growing up in an atmosphere where there Is no quiet or repose, it is inevitable that children should be restless, continually seeking after new settlements, competing sO- cially with those in their own circle, bent on being seen everywhere and having good time at all costs. When a mother who is always going about renOnstrates with her children for making so many engagements, that they have no time either for the nec- essary amount of rest or study, 1t is not surprising that her remarks carry no conviction.
 When either children or adults spend their lives rushing from one place to another, from one pleasure to another, what have they, in the end, to show for their scattering of energy, their expenditure of time?
 Women today are highly organized in culture clubs, patrons clubs, and civic societies. Why do they not get together on this problem of conserv- ing, the time and energy of their chill dren, saving a part of 1t from the eternal program of joy rides, dances, clubs and picture shows?

Two Harvard geOlogists, Professors Reginald A. Daily and Charles Palache accompanied by Dr. G. A. F. Molen- graaf, Dutch scientist, plan to spend the early months of 1922 in an expedi- tiOn to South Africa to study unusual geological formations in that region, the university announced recently.
 Dr. Fred E. Wright, petrologist of the geO-physical laboratory at Wash ington, will accompany the party as the representative of the Carnegie in stitutiOn.

oriuinated "John Bull"

The term John Bull" was first used by John ArbuthnOt, witty Scotch doctor and writer in "The History of John Bull," published in 1712, in which, in a discussion of the political affairs of Europe at that time, John Bull, representing England, appears as a jolly, honest. plain dealing but hot-tempered farmer. Arbuthnot's word picture was later reproduced in a drawing by Sir Francis Carruthers Gould, and now the name and the pie ture through long use have become familiar to all. John Bull wears title" hat, a swallOw-tail coat, trOus- CTS tucked in boots and across his ample waistcoat usually appear the outlines of the British flag.
