Annie Quiller Yet in Jail Here.

The statement was made in The
Advertiser last week that the negro
woman, Annie CUTLER, who is in jail
under sentence of two years for
manslaughter, was carried to the
p~enitentiary Wednesday morning.
Acting upon the advice of the county
attorney, the supervisor secured a
release from the clerk of court for
the woman and also a commitment
to the p%enitentiary and engaged Mr..
w. E. QUITS to take the woman to
Columbia Wednesday morning, but
the j~ailer, acting upon the advice of
the woman's attorney, would not de-
liver her to Mr.. QUITS. Therefore the
manner or place for serving her SEN
tence is still an undecided question.

Union Meeting at Gilgal.

The attendance upon the union meet
ing at Gilgal Sunday was large and the
session was profitable. Rev. A. I. Al
len preached an inspiring sermon in the
forenoon and several helpful talks were
made in the afternoon by Mr.. r. T..
Strom, Mr.. Orlando Sheppard, Mr.. }.
T. GriHis and others. Mr.. R. T. Strom
served as moderator. The next union
meeting of the second division will be
held at Bsrea church the last Saturday
and Sunday in October.
The members of Gilgal church and
the people of the community proved
themselves to be charming hosts, as
they always do on such occasions. A
bountiful dinner was served on a public
table and everybody was cordially in
vited to partake of the feast. All who
attended the meeting at Gilgal Sunday
went away gladstone and happy.

ty, he has made a record that was
entirely satisfactory to the govern
ment. He also had the trying expe-
rience involved in one fire and six
removals of the office from building
during his administration. While
doubtless he made errors, as any
one else would have done, yet the
wonder is that he rendered so near
ly a 100 per cent service under such
trying experience. With office torn
up by frequent removals, disrupting
his system, and too having at times
only the crudest possible equipment,
who could have done better than MI.

pleased to say to him, swell done,"
at the close of his term of faithful
service.
Mr.. Mellichamp has also had a
very courteous and capable assist
ant in the person of Mr.. D. P. Nor
gan, who entered upon his duties
in the post office within two weeks
after he returned from naval duty
in Russia, where he served during
the war. He has likewise served faith
fully and well, being not always at
his post of duty but meeting and
greeting the public in a courteous
manner, it mattered not how great
the %provocation to be otherwise. He
likewise deserves our hearty, "Well
DONE"

Successful Whiskey Raids.

In the matter of law enforcement,
things happened quick and fast in
Edgefeld Thursday morning. A bunch
of federal officers dropped in town and
suddenly got busy, with the assistance
of the town marshal and sheriff. Fed
eral officers Kennedy, Baskin, Lyon
and Kay, accompanied by Mr.. L. H.
Harling, the town marshal, and Sheriff
W. R. Swearingen, searched the store
of M. w. Holston and found concealed
in the wall, after removing a trap
door or loose plank, about two gallons
of whiskey. In addition to the charge
of violating the federal law, an indict-
ment was brought against Mr.. Holston
under the town ordinance. Friday morn
ing he pleaded guilty before Mayor Ed
wards and was fined $50. 90, which was
promptly paid.
After this raid was made the same
group of officers went straightway to
the place Of Mr.. Pierce QUITS, and as a
result of search of the premises found
about two gallons of whiskey in fruit
jars concealed beneath his butter bean
vines in his garden. In addition to the
federal charge, he likewise was charged
with violation of the town prohibition
ordinance and on Friday pleaded guilty,
being fined $500 which was paid.
Thus ended the raids in town, but
federal officers try to be on the job
everywhere and having been informed
that a still was doing business on a
rather large scale three or four miles
southwest of Edge6eld, they turned
their faces in that directioa, and not
without results. They failed to find
the still. it having been removed, but
destroyed a large quantity of mash and
beer, whatever that is. No arrests
could be made as the parties had bust
ness elsewhere when the officers visited
their place.

love of God, we have no right to ex-
pect the ungodly to do it for US. The
kind of. government our inertia
metes out to us will be better than
we deserve.
If you are a man and do not feel
the strong impulse to get in every
stroke for a clean and righteous adj
mi%nistraticn in South Carolina you
are like the fellow from "Georgy"
that Congressman Upshaw tells a
bout, who said, "Politics is so dirty
I amt voted for nigh onto 20 years.
And like him you are helping on the
festival of filth.
If you are a woman and can not
break away from the bonds Of the
past, if you can not step out into the
new liberty that was from all eter-
nifty your right anyway, if you do
not vote you should not complain if
we have a government contrary to
your taste, for you have helped to
make it what it shall be.
Remember there is no such thing
as not voting. You shall throw your
vote always to the winning side, ac-
cording to parliamentary usage,
whether you cast it in person or not.
If you stay away from the August
primaries you will help elect every
man and woman who is successful.
Love your government better than
you do any ideas of your W about
|.rwoman's sphere" love the little
children too well to leave a stone un-
turned that the morale of Jul state
may be raised, love the future citi-
zens of our commonwealth so well
that you wo. be willing to make
any sacrifice, even unto death to pro-
tect it's fair name. "Mere man" has
laid down his life often for the hon
or of his country. What about you,
oh, newly enfranchised?
Is it too much to do to start the
wheels in your head to working and
to think this thing out to a finish and
to action? Had there been more logi-
cal thinking there would have been
less fighting.
Do you want a continuation of
war and graft and misrule? If you
do, then go on acting as though the
government of your state is no con-
Germ of yours.
But if you want peace and law and
order here in South Carolina you
must shelve every selfish c%onsidera-
ton and every old worn out argu-
ment, and not register your protest
against demagoguery, but you must
get out among your neighbors and
make it easy for them to do so.
The women of South Carolina are
in the balances today and many Of
them do not realize it.
The greatest opportunity Of the
age is now at their feet, either for
the picking; up or the trampling up
on. Which shall history record?
Oh, Christian women of South
Carolina, know the day of your OPP
p%ortunity and power and use it for
the injecting of Christian principles
into the political life of your state
that your children and your chill
dren's children may be safe.
