County Essay Contest.

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of this county is getting
ready to send each teacher at an
early date literature on the two SUBJ
jects for essays. For boys and girls
over IA the subject will be Law En-
forcement, for those under that age,
"Why Our State Has a Law Against
the Cigarette?" For the best on each
subject, $500 will be awarded, for
second best on each subject $500.
The teachers are requested to require
each child to try as an English lesson,
and thus help the movement to arouse
our people everywhere to more ear
nest thinking along these lines. The
contest will close March Is, when all
essays are expected to be in the hands
of Mrs. Tillman at Edgefeld. If the
teachers of this county can get the
people in their respective communi-
ties to thinking along these important
lines through the enthusiasm of the
children, it will be a great benefit to
our county.
Apply to Mrs. Tillman for sug-
gestions. A very good plan is to Sc
lect some speaker from your commu-
nifty or elsewhere to speak to the chill
dren on these subjects and allow them
to take notes which they can use in
writing their papers.

My dearest Mother:
The trip from York to Edinburgh,
was made this afternoon in about FIVE
hours on an express train with. only
one stop, which was at Newcastle. L
have heard of the "coal of Newcas-
tie" all my life but can add two more
assured facts to that bit of inforna-
ton. 1t is a city of about three hun
dred thousand people, and it. has its
share Of cold as we'll as coal. The
weather here has been fierce, for be-
tween fogs and smoke it was almost
impossible to get clear impression
of the scenery such as we had all day
yesterday from the train.
1t seemed (from the glimpse we
had now and them the landscape be-
comes more. rolling-almost noun
famous in which l imagine
must be the mining districts. The
ground was covered with snow, and
if there were any black mines, they
were well camoufaged under their
white mantle.
York was such queer sort of place
it semed pity not to stay longer, but
we simply can't take in everything
1t is a walled city built by the Re
mans in the year 400 A. D. We climb

Successful Meeting of Edge
field Cotton Association Sat-
urdaY in Court House.

The meeting of the Edgefeld
branch, American Cotton Association,
which was called by President B. R.
Tillman, last Saturday for the pur-
pose of compiling the acreage reduc-
ton pledges, and also to take up the
question Of marketing Of cotton and
the retaining of CVtton Grading work
together with that of providing
means of retaining County Agent
work, which was not provided for by
the members of the delegation from
this county.
The meeting was we'll attended by
farmers and much interest was shown
by those present to reinforce the
ranks for an attack toward progress
siveness.
The results of the campaign for
acreage reduction has been success
full, about rs per cent of the leading
farmers have signed up and at least
80 per cent of all who have been ap-
preached have signed. The results are
very flattering to committeeman and
those who have assisted in securing
the farmers pledges. 1t means that
the farmers of Edgefeld county are
determined to combine their efforts
for one united purpose.
The failure of the county delega-
ton to take care of these splendid
progressive citizens of Edgefield
farmers by failure to make the insig-
nifcant county appropriation to take
care of the County Agent work is
regretted. One prominent farmer
made the statement that the County
Agent work was worth more to him
than all the other public Offices COM
bined, as he assisted him in every day
problems of handling his farm.
However the County Agent is to
be retained and the people who are
interested in farming should see
some of the committeeman who have
been appointed to look after the pub
lie subscriptions which are being
raised to take care of the work, and
subscribe such amounts as you care
to give.
A committee was appointed to
meet Saturday, February 26 at IL
a. m. at the Court House for con-
ference to lay plans for Cooperative
Marketing of cotton in Edgefield
county. Mr.. F. L. Harkey, Agent IN
Marketing and Mr.. E. c. Parker,
Agent in Cotton Marketing Demon
strations of Clemson College will be
present at this conference.

My dear Mother:
We are stopping here fof the night
on our way to Edinburgh, the second
stop we've made this morning since.
leaving London.
The trip was most beautiful, as we.
came through very fine farm and
stock-raising country, the home Of
the South-down sheep and Longhorn
cattle. You can not imagine the high
state of cultivation this land has been
brought up to. Every field is garden:
and no ordinary garden at that. All
the roads and fields are bordered with.
the neatest of hedgerows, and when
no crops are growing the g-ound is
hidden under the greenest of well
moved grass. This is one place where
our careless methods in America show
up worse by contrast than any other.
Our farms seem rough and crude af-
ter seing these, yet in such things as
hotels and modern improvements we
can give them "cards and spades"
Since coming into this room a par
ty of young men walked in and one Of
them came up and introduced him
self. They recognized US as Ameri-
cans and Southern Americans at that.
The boys are from the South and are.
Cecil Rhodes scholarship boys at
school at Oxford. They were in camp
at Camp Jackson. Isn't it strange how
small the world is!
Our Southern accent gives us away
wherever we go, yet I know it will
take full month after / get home
to drop off English expressions that
will attach themselves to our speech
like cockle-burrs.

Miss Florence Minis Writes Of
Oratorical Contest in the
Aurora Scool.
Dear Advertiser:
On last Thursday evening a pre-
liminary contest in defamation and
dramatic reau.ng was held in the Au-
rora High School. On this occasion
two students, a boy and girl, were
selected to represent Aurora in the
contest in Hibbing, which takes place
March 3rd.
There were eight students trying:
out and these eight students repre-
sented five different nationalities,
Finnish, Austrian, English, Swedish,
and Irish. Il
A tiny little sophomore won the.
first place, giving selection about a
negro hero, Toussaint L'overture.
1t was really pathetic to learn after
wards that the little boys father,
though present on the occasion, cfs IL
not understand "a word of Eng
an and s7Wfien the winners name Wai
nounced he did not understand. on
being told by his wife, who under
stood English that their son had won,
he thought it too good to be true,
and after much explaining was final
ly made to understand.
The hall was crowded and many
were standing. Back of the contest
ants huge American flag was hung.
The audience was composed of almost
every conceivable nationality, and all
these people are in the process of be-
coming good Americans.
The next best thing to hearing
ones own teacher read, is to hear
ones own pupils. The superintendent
stood on the opposite side of the hall
from me and the students could not
have had two more appreciative lis
teners than he and I, for the general
audience took a general interest, but
ours was keenly personal.
The girl who won first place read
an o Henry story, "Mammon and the
Archer" wherein a good old soap
manufacturer proves the fact that
money can buy everything, even
time.
An audience likes to laugh and pat
itself on the back that it sees the
point to a complicated story and ap-
plauds partly in praise of its own
cleverness at understanding and
partly at the appreciation of the
reader. Applause is a tickle thing and
should never be taken too seriously.
Public speaking is very popular
subject on "The Range" Eveleth, a
nearby town has two instructors, a
dramatic coach and teacher who
does the class room work.
The judges for the contest were
the public speaking teacher of Gill
bert, the dramatic coach of Eveleth
and lawyer from Biwabik.
Rather late that night after the
contest, the superintendent of the
Aurora School District, the principal
of the Aurora High School and &C
companied the judges to their respec-
tive towns, and it was pleasure to
hear their comments of approval on
the work which the students had
done.
