The Greater Citadel.

Already favorably known through
out the South for the efficiency of its
system of military training, the Cit
adel, at Charleston, is preparing to
raise its collegiate standard to the
level which is being universally set
in institutions of higher learning.
Steps are now being taken to achieve
this end, and, necessarily, the first
of these will be the raising of the
standard of entrance requirements.
This is as it should be. The Citadel
was not designed as a preparatory
school, and its graduates must be as
we'll equipped as those of the Univer-
sity, for instance, to take up post
graduate work in larger universities.
Such is not the case now, for the Git
adel diploma is not always recognized
as evidence of sufficient preparatory
work for the advanced courses.
In order to eliminate the impress
sion that the institution is an inter-
mediate school instead of college,
it's official designation was changed
some years ago from the South Caro-
lima Military Academy to the Mill

B. Y. P. U. Growing.

An organization that is filling a
great need in Edgefeld at this time
is the Baptist Young Peoples Union
While its name indicates that it is
altogether Baptist organization and
is membership confined to that par,
ticular sect, yet such is not the case
The organization has fc-ty-odd mem,
bers and practically all of the church
es in the community are represented
in its membership. The union held
public services in the Baptist church
Sunday night, one service of the or
ganization in every month being a
public service, and the entire pro-
gram was highly creditable. An or,
ganization of this kind composed only
Of young people gives them an op'
portunity to exercise and develop
their talents. Nearly dozen young
men and young ladies had a part ii
the services, fully half-dozen, bott
boys and girls, leading in public pray
er. We bid the young men and young
ladies, boys and girls, God-speed ir
their important work in the, church
and community life. Last night the
members of the B. Y. P. U. gave 6
moonlight picnic at Smiths pond anc
the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed
by all who attended.

Will Go to Camp Perry.

Sergeant Ralph Byrd of the Cita-
dal corps of cadets will go to Camp
Perry, Ohio, on the 9th of August
as member of the Rifle Team of the
Citadel. Sergeant Byrd made fine
record in craftsmanship at the Cit
adel and he is one of ten cadets from
the entire corps who will represent
the Citadel at this National Match
at Camp Perry. He will be at Camp
Perry until September %. This is a
splendid opportunity, and distinct
honor, for this young man. Sergeant
Byrd is son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. B.
Byrd of the Pleasant Lane section.
The Advertiser is always greatly
pleased to chronicle the successes of
our Edgefeld boys.

tary College of South Carolina. Fol-

tary College of South Carolina. Fol-
lowing out this idea, the title Of the
superintendent has been changed to
president, and the usual nomencla-
ture of classes, freshman to senior,
has been substituted for the West
Point nomenclature, fourth class to
first class, respectively. Small things,
these are, but they will have cumu-
latiye weight.
A magnificent new home for the
institution is rapidly going up at
Hampton Park, approximately two
miles from the present cramped site
in the heart of Charleston, and ample
facilities will be afforded for physi-
cal expansion. With it's military stan
dard firmly established, through many
years of being rated distinguish
ed," or Class A military school by the
War Department, with its physical
equipment soon to be unsurpassed for
its purpose, and with the proposed
raising of the standard of the cur
riculum, the Citadel will become
more than ever a source of pride to
all South Carolinians, as it now is to
those who know of the records of it's
graduates. 1t will be indeed the

Only Ten Chief Justices.

1t impresses one to recall that this
great country of more than a hun
dred million people has had only ten
chief justices. A man living can re-
member six of these and still claims
that he is not an old mana not
very old man anyhow. The United
States is young country! Maybe
that is why it does so many foolish
things.
1t will be interesting to run over
the list of chief justices; they are:
John Jay of New York; appointed
by Washington.
John Rutledge, of South Carolina;
appointed by Washington.
Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut;
appointed by Adams.
John Marshall, of Virginia, ap-
pointed by Adams. &
Roger 81 Tansy, Of M land; sp!
pointed by Jackson.
Salmon P. Chase, native of New
Hampshire; appointed from Ohio by
Lincoln. !
Morrison R. Waite, native of Con-
necticut; appointed from Ohio by
Grant.
Melville W. Fuller, native of Maine
appointed from Ohio by Cleveland
Edward Douglas White, of Louis
lana, appointed by Taft.

Bonuses for Ex-Service Men.

President Harding, and those who
endorse his action, say there are so
many war veterans that the United
States cannot afford to pay them a
bonus. But the fact is, if there were
five times as many they would get
the bonus. There are so few veterans
of the World war in comparison with
the entire voting population, that
they do not count in national elec-
tions against the great hordes OF
profteering taxpayers; and so the
dominant party thinks it can play the
taxpayers against the ex-soldiers in
a national campaign. 1t is not so
much matter of government econ
omy as of political policy.
A government that can burn up so
many thousands of tons of powder
in times of peace sinking millions OF
dollars worth of warships, while it is
planning at the same time for spend
ing many millions more for great,
er navy, would seem to be inconsist,
ent at least in pleading poverty for
its war veterans.
It may not be able to do for them
all they ask for, but it certainly could
do more than it is doing.-Newberry

Thomas-Plyler.

A marriage of much interest was
that of Miss Corrie Wynonia Thomas
to Glenn Parnell Plyler, which was
solemnized yesterday afternoon at
8 o'clock at the First Baptist church,
DR.. Thomas Clagett Skinner, the
pastor, officiating. Only few of the
brides intimate friends were pres
ent.
The bride is originally from Edge
field but for the last year or so has
made. her home in Columbia, holding
a position with the Hammack-Wil-
son company. Her bright nature and
attractive personality have won for
her many friends here.
Mr.. Plyler is formerly of Lancas-
ter but for the past few years has
held a responsible position with the
American Railway Express company
of this city.
The bride wore a travelling suit
of dark blue tricotine with, accesso-
ries to match.
Immediately after the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Plyler left for the
mountains of North Carolina and
Wrightsville Beach. After their re-
turn they will make their home at
1916 Washington street.-The State

Meeting Of Farmers at ] Johnston
to Consider Dairying
To the Farmers of Edgefield and saluda Counties:

You are doubtless perplexed
as we are and as practically
all other land owners of this
section are, as to how we are to
proGtably employ our farm
lands. Being an agricultural
people, we are dependent upon
the income from our lands for
a support. At the present time
the income therefro1n is both
small and uncertain. A change
in cur system IS necessary, 9TH
serwise, serious consequences
must result.
In other years of financial
depression, we had our cotton
crop to "fall back on" and
that fact tended to stabilize
values and to keep up the NOR
ale of our people. The fear of
the boil weeviI did not haunt us
then, as it does today. We are
as a t'ship without a rudder."
We lack program. We need
a Working Plan. If we had a
plan that would inspire conf
dence in our people, they
would go to work with new
determination. Plenty of plans
are being suggested, but few of
them give us any encourage
ment. We need a safe, sure
and workable remedy.
We are not agitators, nor
politicians, nor "doctesss;" we
have no cure-all to suggest. We
are plain farmers, with diff
culties very much like your
own, and, as such, we are try-i
ing ing to find a solution Of the.
troubles that beset us. We have
a tentative plan to offer, and
we believe If will, if adopted

Rev. L. E. Roberts to Preach
Sunday.

The pulpit of the Baptist church
will be filed Sunday morning and
evening by Rev. L. E. Roberts of
College Park, near Atlanta.
DR.. D. W. Key in writing to the
board of deacons has this to say,
among other things, concerning Mr..
Roberts: "Rev. L. E. Roberts is re-
garded as one of the best ministers
of the Atlanta Baptist Ministerial
Conference" and Congressman Up
shaw of Georgia, in letter to the
chairman of the board of deacons,
said "Rev. L. E. Roberts is man of
rather unusual brillancy in the
make up of his sermons. A man, ]
think, with a very clear head and a
true heart"
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1921-08-10

such a scheme, if and when
successfully carried out, will
reach the whole community
and help all. Our suggestion is
that we take up Dairying. We
are decidedly of the opinion
that ''Dairying as a definite
and considerable part of our
farming operations, with hog
raising in connection, is as
reasonably certain to be profit
able as any other line Of farm
ing we can undertake" While
this is a new phase of farming
to5ns, and many objections and
difficulties arise in your minds,
we firmly believe it will work
and pay. Furthermore, all of
the. objections and difficulties
can be overcome if we have the
mind to will and to work. Ger
tainIy it will do no harm TO
come together and hear the
msster discussed and that is
all we ask you to do now.
Al meeting of the farmers of
Edge6eld and Saluda Counties
will be held at the School
Building here in Johnston, on
Thursday morning, August the
1Sth,at ten o'clock, the pur-
pose of which will be to con-
