DULY EXECUTED BY MILITARY

whose average age 20 years. shot i'll patches OF

were accused OF having attacked Crown forces few weeks
before the sixth for having revolver and
milton in his possession. 1t was the sentence of this
last voungser that the Court OF the Kings Bench had
confirmed few'days before in its decision that state
OF war existed N ireand, giving the military full power

OF warning against their country not against the

captured boys accorded least the simple status OF

he was not shot by them. On the contrary he
scrupuousy treated with all the consideration accorded
a prisoner OF his rank between civilized nations

Death of MIR. j. o. seigler.

After a period of i'll health ex-
tending over more than year, Mr..
j. o. Seigler breathed his last at his
home Friday morning about five
o'clock. During the many weary
months of declining health he was a
great sufferer but everything that
could be done to allay his suffering
and make him comfortable was done.
He was born and reared in the COM
munity in which he died, being a de-
scendant Of one of Edgefeld's Oldest
families. Mr.. Seigler was twice mar
ried and the children Of his first
marriage who survive him are Mrs.
S. M. Cheatham,> Mrs. John Talbert
and Mrs. Smith sof near McRea, Ga.
Mr.. Seigler was in his 73rd year at
the time of his death and his friends,
both young and old, will miss him in
the community where he has resided
so long. The funeral was conducted
Friday afternoon at Rehoboth church
by Rev. Mr.. Kugley, the pastor of the
church, and the interment took place
in the family square in the Rehoboth
cemetery.

Crowned With Deserving
Success.
Success.

Edgefeld leads in many ways and
in many things. We believe that Edge
field is second to no town in the tai
ent or special gifts of many of its
people. Whenever an entertainment
is to be staged, it matters not what
the character, there can always be
found local talent to fill every place.
Edgefeld has many musicians, pos
sessing both vocal and instrumental
talent, and Too, in their gfttss gfftts as ac-
tors and actresses Edgefeld occupies
no second place. In the minstrel
which was recently given in the OPP
oilse the yonE men of ths
'Baraca class there was abundant eV-
idence of this superior talent. Ex-
pressions from those who attended
were exceedingly complimentary, de-
servedly so, too. Their entertainment
attracted probably the largest audi
ence ever seen in the Opera House.
Encouraged by their splendid success
here, the young men gave their en-
tertainment in Mccormick last night
and were equally as successful there
as in Edgefeld. The receipts last
night amounted to S167. The young
men were charmed with their recep-
tion by the good people of McCor-
mick. They were treated to an elab-
crate supper free and are loud in
their praises of the lavish hospitality
of the Mccormick people.

Farmers Curing Potatoes.

While in Edgefeld several days
ago Mr.. E. L. Yonce told us that a
considerable number of farmers in
his section grew sweet potatoes this
year and are storing them in the po-
tato warehouse in Johnston, which
was erected by stock company COM
posed largely of farmers. Mr.. Yonce
stated that in car lots sweet potatoes
can be sold now at S1.25 per bushel
which, after ,deducting the cost Of
crates and cost of curing, will leave
the growers a good profit. We see no
reason why sweet potatoes can not
be substituted for cotton as money
crop in South Carolina.

Delightful U. D. C. Meeting

The Edgefeld chapter, u. D. C..
was delightfully."- entertained by Mrs.
P. P. Blalock, Sr., on Tuesday after
noon, December 18th, at 8 o'clock
with the president, Mrs. j. M. Wright
in the chair. The principal features
of the session were the reports of
the State convention recently held in
Batesburg. These were made by Mrs.
P. NJ. Feltham and Mrs. A. A. Wood
son, Mrs. Feltham telling of the So
cial side of the convention and Mrs.
Woodson bringing the message to the
chapter of the work to be carried on
next year: She stressed the work of
the Historical committee, and men
ticn was made of the beautiful cup
to be given by Mrs. st. j. Allison
Lawton, the retiring State president,
to the chapter doing the greatest
amount of historical work in the di-
vision. This chapter made a unani-
nous determination to work to get
this cup for. Edgefield. Mrs. Feltham
mentioned the prize offered by Mrs.
Woodson for the Edgefeld chapter
to the daughter of the division send
ing il, the best poem during the year.
The chapter bestowed another honor
on Mrs. Woodson by calling this prize
for her mother-the "Sue M. Abney'
prize.
Mrs. Woodson made. the suggestion
to the chapter that as they did such
beautiful things beautifully, that
they do one more beautiful thing and
make the three former presidents of
the chapter who were charter men,
bers, honorary presidents for life.
These three women are Mrs. N. G.
Evans, Mrs. j. D. Holstein and Mrs.
Robt. A. Marsh. This suggestion was
put in form of motion by Mrs. Eel
than and carried.
During the historical session, which
finished up the years study of Con-
federate Heroes, a, paper was read
by the historian on John H. Morgan,
and sketch of Morgan's Raid was
given.
Mr.. 2lalock delighted the chapter
with an instrumental selection of
great beauty
Mrs, Blalock served delicious sal
ad course; assisted by Mrs. P. P. Bla-
lock, Jr, and Mrs. ]. G. Edwards. 4

ly for the columns of your paper,
which I call the best county paper !
know of.
Since my trip there last year l
have enjoyed the best of health, reas-
onably active, can go upon the house
top and do good days work, at the
age of seventy two last birthday, for
which l am due thanks, not only
every Thanksgiving day, but every
day.
This section of the state made
reasonably good crops this year. We
don't have the boil weevil to contend
with here and are very hopeful, ,and
such a thing as fertilizing is un-
known. My son farmed on my place
and his near by this year, hired one
man and made 18 bales of cotton and
good crop feed of covers. This is
no big farming but it will sound good
to some people. want it understood
that boosting anything is out of my
line, but / candidly think this a good
country. One important feature here
is we have but few negroes to con-
tend with and hope we never will, for
as / see it they are a curse to any
country and ought to be colonized.
I now close with love and good
wishes to all the dear ones there to-
gether with all the readers of your
valued paper.

this from feeling of appreciation
We hope yet, to see several of the
small schools consolidate, also the
churches come together and form
pastorates, thereby having preaching
services every. Sunday, all being en-
couraged by the Sood roads system,
as that is the most disadvantage we
see in the way, unless it is the habit
we Southern folk have of hanging to;
the old custom Of things. Let's try a
bigger way of doing things.
Life in the country or wherever
we are, is just what we make it We
should work six days in the week
wherever we are and give tile Lord
the Sabbath, and if we do that con-
scientiously He will surely be near

spend Sunday happy and halIow the:

week, for the Lord does not appre-
ciate or promise to love and protect

Economy Home, an Institution
for Orphan Children.
There are 482 motherless, home
LESS children seeking admission to
the Economy Home, located at Kings
Creek, S. c.
What will bring you more real joy
on Christmas morning than the
thought that you have assisted in pro-
Ividing for them a home where they
will be cared for by loving, skilled
hands, provided with nourishing food,
warm clothes and Christian training?
The Economy Home is chartered
and licensed by the State. of South
Carolina. j. N. Nesbit, M. D., of Gaff-
ney, S. G., is president. 1t is on the
southeast side of Kings Mountain
battle-ground, two miles. of Kings
Greek Station on the Southern Rail
way on the backbone of a beautiful
high ridge, at one of the finest miner
al springs in the state, formerly
known as Piedmont Springs.
We have so children and 4S2 ap-
plicants. "Please take care of my ba-
bies" is the dying request of poor
mother contained in a letter which
now lies on our desk. The last thought
of every dying mother is Of her ba-
bies. Many of them know that there
are loving, tender hands to care for
their children, but oh! the anguish
of those who, have not this consola-
tion as they lay on their death beds.
Would that we had a thousand
tongues that we might tell you in
thundreing tones the appeal of these
dying mothers: "Save my babies,
please"
We lay the appeals of these child
ren at the door of your conscience.
If you can hear their cries and help
them they will rise up and call you
blessed not only while you live but
after you are gone: ss
