AUTUMN ARRIVES
UNDERSUNNyS SKIES
Came to Town at 1919 A. M,
and Will Remain Till
December ~
TURN CLOCKS BACK SUNDAY

Autumn arrived this morning at 10:
o'clock with a comfortable temperature
and an abundant supply Of sunshine 1t
will remain with us until 1Oli l.. M.'
December 81. when winter arrives.
The change in season is due to the
fact that the sun gets into position
squarely over the equator. One -halt
Of the earth from pole to pole is divided
equally into night and day.
Old Man Eastern Standard Time will
return to his wonted roost in City Hall
Tower Mt . o'clock Sunday morning,
and n reception committee comprising
the entire population of the city Will
welcome him with fitting ceremonies
Eastern standard time will be remem-
bered as the eldest son of Old Father
Time. but for some time past his young
brother, Daylight Saving Time. has
usurpcd his lawful place and he has
been rclegatcd to Broad Street Station.
Joseph Gaskill. who presides over
the machinery in the clock tower, says
the mechanism will be stopped at >
o'clock Sunday morning for sixty min
uteS. thus allowing one hour of time
to slip by unrecorded. When the wheels
start turning again the big clock will
be operating on Eastern standard time.
Clockmakers as a body recommend
that method Of losing an hour in pref
ercnce to that of turning the clock
backward one hour or forward eleven
hours. Clarence Riggs. a Philadelphia
authority on time recording devices,
says any timcpiece with chimes or strik-
ing mechanism will be seriously dam
aged by turning backward and only an
experienced person should undertake TO
turn il forward. It is far better to
stop the clock for an hour just before
retiring Saturday night by fixing the
pendulum at either end of its are sc
that it cannot swing. There is no harm
in turning watch backward or for
ward, however, unless it is equipped
with striking mechanism.
The Dig point to be remembered is
that henceforth all clocks must register
one hour less than they have heretofore
done. Three o'clock daylight saving
time becomes = o'clock standard time
and so on. Tho suburban schedules OF
! the railroads will return to their old
status instead of one hour early. a,
printed on the timetables in use during
! the summer months. But there is Onr
rccompcnSe for all the trouble and
confusion of the change: Everybody
gets an extra hour of sleep Saturday
night.
Changes made in train service whcr
daylight saving became effective will b,
abolished.

The change at this time was justified
by Senator Penrose on the ground that
Mr.. Thornton already has served eight

The Dixie Highway.

Although it cost the county pile
of money, the Dixie Highway is about
finished and is the pride of the peo-
pie. 1t traverses Edgefeld county and
is main artery of travel for peo-
pie not only of this and adjoining
States, but for the far away sections
as well. 1t is not uncommon to see
cars passing almost every day bearing
the name-plate of Canada or some
extreme northwestern State. This
splendid new tboroughfare should in
spire our people to modernize other
highways in the country-but let's
do it on less expensive scale.

son and Rev. G. w. M. Taylor enter
ed into copartnership to grow Irish
potatoes this year, Mr.. Taylor hav-
ing been reared in Virginia where

THE WORLDS BIBLE.
Annie johnson Flint

80 Annie Johnson FEnt
Christ has no hands but our hands
To do his work to-day;
He has no feet but our feet
To lead men in his way;
He has no tongues but our tongues
To tell men how he died;
He has no help but our help,
To bring them to His side.
We are the only Bible
The careless world will read;
We are the sinners gospel,
K, We are the scoffer's creed;
We are the Lords last message,
Given in deed and word;
What if the type is crooked
What if the print is blurred?
What if our hands are busy
With other work than His?
What if our feet are walking
Where sins allurement is?
What if our tongues are speaking
Of things His lips would spurn?
How can we hope to help Him
And hasten His return?

Father And Son.
Edgar A. Guest.

Edgar A. Guest.
Be more than his dad,
Be a chum to the lad;
Be part of his life
Every hour of the day;
Find time to talk with him..
Take time to walk with him,
Share in his studies
And share his play;
Take him to places,
To ball games and races,
Teach him the things
That you want him to know;
Don't live apart from him,
Don't keep your heart from him,
Be his best comrade,
He's needing you SO!
Never neglect him,
Though young, still respect him,
Hear his opinions
With patience and pride;
Show him his error,
But be not a terror,
Grim visaged and fearful,
When he's at your side.
Know what his thoughts are,
Know what his sports are,
Know all his playmates,
It's easy to learn to
Be such father
That when troubles gather
You'll be the first one
For council he'll turn to.
You can inspire him
With courage, and fire him
Hot with ambition
For deeds that are good;
He'll not betray you
Nor lily betray you,
If you have taught him
The things that you should.
Father and son
Must in all things be one
Partners in trouble
And comrades in joy.
More than a dad
Was the best pal you had;
Be such a chum
AS you knew, to your boy.
