NATIONAL-"The Merry
Widow"

A very beautiful production Of THE
Merry Widow" Franz L.ehar's charm
ing operetta, which Washington saw
something more than twelve years
ago for the first time. is being pre-
scented by Col. Henry W. Savage at
the National TheateS this week. 1t is
beautiful not only in magnificent
stage settings and handsome COS
tunes. but also in the wealth of vocal
and human establishment which is
rarely found in modern productions
and was a rarity even in days when
producers had care for art and for
the public taste.

duction. which Col. Savage also made

Most Deplorable Feature.

Of the many unfortunate things
incident to the general business de-
preston that exists over the country
that which is most to be deplored is
the taking away from many boys and
girls the opportunity of securing an
education. How often have we heard
in the past persons say they grew up
right after the Civil War and were de-
prived of an education. Great is the
pity that any shall have to say in the
years to come that they were depriv-
ed of an education because of adverse
conditions existing after the great
World War. Parents should see to
it that their boys and girls be given
an opportunity of securing an educa-
ton. If a sacrifice must be made, let
it be made in some other way rather
than that of sacrificing your children
upon the altar of ignorance. They
should not be thus handicapped for
life.

1t is planned to have the speaking
exercises very brief in order that all
resent might mingle with the crowd
and enjoy the picnic feature of the
occasion. The speaking exercises will
begin at 1915 p. M, on the school
house grounds. A stand will be erect
cd near the Academy branch.
1t is planned to precede the speak
ing with a parade by the ex-service
men from the Court House to the
school grounds if it is possible to Sc
cure band. The Camp Jackson au-
thorities are unable to furnish band
at this time and an effort is being
made to raise sufficient funds to en-
ploy band for the occasion; if this
effort succeeds the parade will form
at the Court House at noon, other
wise there will be no parade and the
exercises will start at 1915 p. m. at
the school house grounds.
The ladies are cooperating with
the ex-service men and a bountiful
dinner is assured. Barbecue hash will
be served in connection with the din
ner.
The athletic events in the after
noon promise much sport. There will
be first and second prizes in each
event. The following events have been
decided upon: One hundred yard
dash, running broad jump, standing
broad jump, sack race, shoe race,
three-legged race, battle royal in
which five or six colored ex-soldiers
will engage in a prize fight. Crocus
sacks will be provided for the sack
race, but all entries for the three-leg-
ged race must provide their ropes for
tying their legs together. Only ex-
service men will enter the contests.
Announcement of the picnic will
be made in all the county churches
next Sunday and all the school teach
ers of the county will give publicity
to the affair in their schools so it is
anticipated that large crowd will
be present. 1t must be remembered
that the picnic is open to all and
there will be no expenses. However,
all persons who attend are expected
to bring baskets for dinner.
Remember the date and place

Entire Farms Abandoned.

During the past decade, as the boil
weevil approached nearer and nearer
us, Edgefeld people have heard of
abandoned farms in weevil stricken
districts. 1t appears now that the wee
vii, together with the financial strin-
gency, will cause a considerable num-
Der of farms to lie idle in this county
this year. This is to be deplored. 1t
means that somebody has been brok-
en- up-unable to farm this year. Not
only will individuals suffer from such
a condition but as whole the county
will suffer. The churches and every
: thing Of public nature, as we'll as
private interests, will suffer. But it
will not be long before everything
will be adjusted to the new and
changed conditions. When Europe,
yet Frustrated by the effects of the
war, lis again on her feet, there will
come great demand for our raw ma
terial, especially the South's raw ma
terial, and again our Southland will
blossom as the rose. 1t is not probable
that any farm lands will lie idle in
this county after this year.
