GREW WHISPERS TO GET JOB
And Secretary of State Hughes Has Worn the Required Facial Adorn-
 ments Ever Since.

Charles B. Hughes, secretary of state, gave little indication to his teachers and classmates at Brown uni versity that he was to become a leader in the nation, though it is true that he had his bachelor degree before he was twenty-One. He planned to make teaching his life work, and he did devote some years to that occupation. His first application for a job was as teacher of Greek in a small Eastern rOllege The head of the department received him kindly. but evidently re- garded his youthful appearance as making him an impossibility in that line.
 Why" said he, you have no more hair on your face than an egg"
 If a beard is necessary I can raise one" said Hughes, who knew his own ability in that line, and soon was able to qualify for the job and got it. And, by the way, he has the same whiskers yet. He has never worn a clean shaved face since.-Columbus Dis Patch.

CARRIED SECRET TO GRAVE
Canadian Prospector Refused to DiVuIge Location Where Gold
 Cropped Out.

A man who kept his secret to the end was the Canadian hunter Gilbert son. Sixty years ago, when he was making a canoe trip up the Wapshe river, the New York Evening Post states, he struck camp for the night near what later discoveries indicate must have been a large body of gold bearing ore. Without knowing what this ornamental stone was, he took home a big piece to use for a door weight. A while after this a geOlo- gist who was visiting Gilbertson identi- fed the ore, and a rush to stake claims along the Wapshe ensued. But the unwilling prOspectOr would never tell where he made his great find. In later years he became insane and died, still refusing to reveal the location. This season a systematic search of that country Is being made in hope of rediscovering ''the Gilbertson lode"

CAREFULLY CONSIDER
 DIVERS ENTERPRISES
Hasty Conclusions Should Be
 Cautiously Avoided.
No Reason for Assuming All ActiV- ities of Farm Should Be Devoted to One Big Money Crop
 Study All Angles.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 In making use of the results of a years cost accounts for the purpose of perfecting the organization of the farm, nasty conclusions should not be drawn. Sometimes a positive decrease in profits may ensue if an enterprise be dropped, because, taken alone, it has failed to pay. Cows, for instance, may not be showing a net profit, but If all the cows were sold there might be no other way of using up the roughage and it would become dead

the most delicious sort of dramatic

something to think about.

Death of MIR. j. o. Seigler.

After period of i'll health ex-
tending over more than a 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 Nof near McRea, Ga.
Mr.. Seigler was in his 7Srd 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.

ly for the columns of your paper,
which 1 call the best county paper /
know of.
Since my trip there last year I
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 I 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, sand
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
a good crop feed of covers. This is
no big farming but it will sound good
to some people. I 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 I 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.

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 $1.25 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. G..
was delightfully."- entertained by Mrs.
P. P. Blalock, Sr., on Tuesday after
noon, December 1Sth, at 8 o'clock
with the president, Mrs. ]. 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. M. 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
tion 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 unani-
nous determination to work to get
this cup for Edgeheld. Mrs. Feltham
mentioned the prize offered by Mrs.
Woodson for the Edgefield 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 a 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.. 3lalock 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. j. G. Edwards.
The next meeting will be held with
| Mrs. R. C. Padgett in January.

ion1s ol1 upon generations to come.

tlons upon generaIlonS 20 COME.
Culture does not spread from
South Carolina to Oklahoma with
anything like the rapidity with which
the boil weevil travelled from Texas
eastward. Neither have people given
the spread of culture the study that
they have given the barring of the
boil weevil. We are ever ready to bat
tie for the things that will help or
hurt us financially and materially.
The west does not seek our finer
civilization because it does not know
that it lacks it.
In all the American history have
ever heard or read, there is little
more interesting to me than this: Six
counties in Southern Oklahoma, Lo-
gan, Oklahoma, Kingfsher, Cleve-
land, Canadian and Payne counties,
which had never been given to the
Indians were opened up for settle
ment by whites at IL o'clock the
22nd of April in 1889!
Any people who desired made "the
run" into these counties. The land
was staked off into homesteads, and
the first person arriving at any given
share, afoot or on horseback, or in
wagons, had the sole ownership there
of.
This race, so to speak, starting at
12 o'clock was known as "the run" !"
The history professor at the Univer-
sity Preparatory school was telling
me the other day how his people had
taken part in the famous "run."
The most interesting part of my
story is yet to come. On arriving at
their given farms, some distance
from civilization, how do you suppose
they lived? Dugouts were made in
the ground, like the cave man built
in the Stone Age, and there they lived
with covering over this ground
dwelling. Remains of these dug-outs
are still to be seen.
So instead of cutting down trees
and clearing the forests, for there
were no forests, these sturdy farmers
went to work to till the prairie soil,
to raise wheat and cotton and corn,
and thus did the early days of Ok
Ilahoma begin.
