On Thursday afternoon of last
week the series of benefit parties for
the Civic League opened with very
novel entertainment given by the
president, Mrs. John G. Edwards.
Unique invitations announcing that
there are paupers a plenty, million
aires a few, but every one has five
senses, come and prove that's true"
were issued.
After the guests assembled, they
were hidden to survey table in the
hall, on which. a number of articles
were arranged. Then they were con-
Quoted into the living room, where
Mrs. Mamie NJ Tillman played
medley of old favorite songs. After
this, tiny walls containing great va
riety of fluids were passed to the
guests to smell, after which little
jamie Edwards and Esther Ruben
stein carried around big cretonne
bag with many articles for the guests
to feel.
Each one wrote down as many
items from memory as possible and
Mrs. Kate Kernaghan and Miss Kath-
crime Minis proved that their five
senses were most acute, tying on
their score, Mrs. Kernaghan cutting
successfully for the dainty souvenir.
The incest test was on that of
taste. A delicious fruit salad with
crackers and ice tea was served and
each one was hidden to write down
the fruits used in the salad.
About four dollars was contribute
ed to the League fund and will be-

Charged With Forging Checks.

Brady L. Holmes, Edgefeld coun-
ty's colored poet, is in Jail charged
with forging checks on banks of
Johnston. About ten days ago he car
ried bale. of cotton to Johnston, sold
it to one of the local buyers and re-
ceived check therefor in the usual
form of cotton checks issued by the
buyer on his local bank. Holmes made
a close study of the signature and
forged the name of the cotton buyer
to two checks on one of the banks of
Johnston and received the cash for
them. The original and genuine check
which was given him in payment for
the bale of cotton he brought back
with him to Edgefeld and had one of
the banks here to cash it. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that similar for
geries had been committed in 1919
and again in 1920. 1t is believed by
some that the other forgeries were
committed by Holmes. 1t is alleged
that he has handled considerable
money in the past two or three years.
Some of it being spent on trip to
Baltimore where it is said he took a
course in medicine. 1t is probable
that Holmes will have to face the
charge of forgery at the Mrach term
of court.
