Delightful Social Gathering at
"Englewood."

friday evening "Englewood," the
ta:ely ancestral home of Mr.. and
.SIrs. F. F. Rainsford, was the scene
of a brilliant social function, the
irst Of the autumn season. They
threw wide their doors to about 100
Of their friends from Trenton, john
ston and Edgeield, including also
some out of town guests, and the
spirit Of extreme cordiality, good
cheer and gracious hospitality per-
,neated the. atmosphere. The color
scheme of the attractive decorations
was pink and white which was car
ried out to the minutest detail, even
in the refreshments that were served.
AS the guests arrived they were re-
freshed with delicious punch, a large
bowl being placed at each end of
the front piazza, where a bevy of
beautiful girls dispensed lavishly the
fruit nectar. Mrs. Sadie Johnson
Hill, the mother of the hostess, who
though now is regarded as n of
the cider generation, yet surprising
ly youthful and sprightly in spirit,
assisted the host and hostess in greet
ing the guests at the front door, ex-
tending a warm welcome with old
time Edgefeld cordially and gra-
ciousress.
Progressive conversation was the
chief form of diversion for the young
people, the pink and white date cards
being passed by the two little idols
of the home, Sadie and Adeline
Rainsford. During the conversation
the latest victrola music, both instru-
mental and vocal, gave added zest
to the occasion.
At the conclusion of the progress
sive conversation pink and white
block cream and individual cakes
were served, pink and white minis
being served from silver compotiers.
The occasion was faultlessly plan
ned by the host and hostess and moth
ing was left undone that would con-
tribute to the pleasure of their
guests. The delightful party at "En-
glewood" will be a source of pleas
ant memories to the guests who were
honored with invitations.

Back to Normally.

Now that the last election has
been held, electing public officials
from coroner to governor for at least
two years, let's cool off and resume
the even tenor of our way. Most OF
us are prone to become too excited
lin our eagerness to elect certain in
|dividuals to Office. Whether our
Friends or favorites have been chosen
|or not, let's forget politics and turn
to things that are more worth while.
Whether satisfied or disappointed
with the result, let's get back to nor
|,malcy. Would that elections were
held quadrennially instead of bi-
ennially!

Loyal Officers Needed.

Under all circumstances law and
order IAN best be. promoted by having
efficient and loyal officers to execute
the law, but especially during the at
ter-the-war period of Generalization
through which we r passing do we
need acknowledgement law en-
|forcement officers. Greenwood, along
with some of the other counties, has
had some fragrant violations of the
law during the past few years and
since it has come to light that a ru-
raj policeman of that county has
been indicted for spiriting away an
important witness in order to thwart
Justice one is not surprised that such
a condition prevails in Greenwood
county.
Sworn officers of the law who wink
at crime are a hindrance rather than
a help in enforcing the law. In Sc
lecting men to become executive or
law enforcement officers, the people
should give their support to those
who are known to be f~oursquare and
loyal to the last degree. Law en-
forcement is at a low ebb in any
county where men who are sworn to
uphold and enforce the law tacitly
encourage it's violation. Away with
men of the type to which that rural
policeman in Greenwood belongs if
he be guilty of the charge of spirit
ing away a witness in orded to de-
feat justice.

Sept. z, 1922.
Mr.. j. H. Cantelou,
Edgefeld, S. C.
Ny Dear Mr.. Cantelou:.
This is to authorize you to begin
taking applications again. Our ap-
praised force is nov so organized as
that we can give every assurance of
reasonably prompt %appraisals. We
have been fortunate enough to have
assigned to US two very experienced
appraisers from the Federal Land
Bank, to work for US sixty days.
These two appraisers, with the three
/ have of my w in the state, with
an additional one in training, should
permit us to cover the state rapidly.
And in order that we may get the
benefit of the services of these extra
appraisers, we shall greatly appre-
ciate it if you will make a special
effort to get us in some applications
at once.
While we are prepared to handle
the minimum and the maximum
loans permitted by the bank-s1,OOO
and $4,000, inclusive-yet we have
a prediction for the loan averaging
from $500 to $4,000.
We are pleased to tell you that we
are closing loans daily in gratifying
amounts; and while the Executive
Committee is slightly behind with
the applications, we are doing our
best to close the loans promptly.
Our recent bond offering is most
successful.
We are sending you under separ-
ate cover a dozen application blanks.
This, we presume, will serve your
purpose temporarily.
Very truly yours,
A. F. LEVER,
President.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL IS
 APPROVED BY COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Ship Subsidy Bill was approved yesterday by the Senate Commerce Committee, with the elimination of the Madden amendment limiting the amount of aid which can be given to shippers through Congressional appropriations. In place of that amendment there was substituted the Willis Lenroot compro. mise amendment, which requires the consent of Congress to increase the aid over and above the amount called for in the original contract. Chair man Lasker, of the Shipping Board, opposed the submission of the bill as designed, but the Bill Committee was told that either the original or the substitute as outlined must stand, or the bill would not be favorably re- ported.

''DOUC" LOSES SUIT AGAINST MOVIE CO.,,
 ON OLD FILMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The plea of Douglas Fairbanks, in suit brought against Hyman Wink and other nov ing picture producers, in which he sought to restrain them from re- vamping certain films in which Fair banks appeared years ago, was de- nied yesterday in a decision handed down by Justice Wagner, of the State Supreme Court. The Court held that inasmuch as Fairbanks was merely an emplcye of the company that made the films, the producers had the right to make changes in the commodity which they had hired Fairbanks to help them produce. The decision is expected to have far reaching effects as to the old films of other motion picture actors and actresses who have become stars since their early pictures were made.

STRIKING COAL MINERS FIND CONSOLATION IN
 HUNTING AND FISHING

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. B. Resident and nonresident hunters paid into the treasury of West Vir- ginia $69584 between January 1 and October of the present year in fees for hunters licenses, reports of County Clerks for the nine months show. A total of 64,93s resident and 308 nonresident licenses were is- sued.
 During the same period total of 239 persons were arrested on charges of violating the fish and game. laws. Convictions numbered 218. The ma jority of the alleged violations had to do with the dynamiting of fish. With sixty-two persons arrested and fifty six convicted, Kanawha County led all other counties in arrests and convictions. The total of fines col lected for violations of the game and fish laws was $3,595.
 According to officials of the Fish and Game Commission, the large in crease in the number of licenses is- sued was due to the coal strike. Dur ing their period of idleness many of the miners sought relaxation in hunt ing tH ~s

RElIEE AT WORK

ASTORIA, Dec. g. Fifty hotel keepers, who are in session at state convention in Portland have donated the sum of s5000 for the relief of the stricken residents of Astoria, who are homeless and des- titute today as the result of yester- days disastrous fire. For the use of the homeless as temporary shelters, the South Bank Railway has placed at the disposal of the relief com mittee a number of railway coaches, while the Columbia River Packing Company has given two of their larg- est steamers for housing purposes. More than a hundred citizens met yesterday at the call of Mayor Brem- ner and formed Relief Committee, which is now in charge of the work of caring for the sufferers.
 Courageously surveying the losses and undaunted by the catastrophe, which has laid the heart of the city
 
 ing nebulous, though determined plans for rebuilding on larger and more substantial scale. This will be started as soon as possible. With the ruins still smouldering, however, the first objects of endeavor are the relief of the homeless. Hundreds of telegrams offering relief in money and supplies have been received, and scores of homes have been opened to those who have been made desti- ute. Temporary sleeping quarters have been arranged in the remaining public buildings. Although compara- lively few residences have been de- stroyed, apartment houses, hotels and tenements were burned, many of the occupants of these barely escaping with their lives.
