A Worthy Cause.

The Jews in the United States have
commenced a nationwide campaign
for the relief of the Jewish orphans,
and others as well, in the war-strick-
en- countries of Europe: While the
work is being done by the people of
the Jewish race, the help given is to
be distributed in the countries where
the Jews predominant and no dis
elimination is to be made as between
races in the distribution of the funds.
Because all people of whatever
race are to be helped, and principal
'ly because the Jews in the United
States in all the great calls during
the war made patriotic responses, the
people generally are asked to contrib
ute to the fund being raised.
Mrs. Rubenstein and Mrs. Mukashy
are making a canvas here in Edge
field for funds for this very worthy
cause and we trust that u people
will respond as generously as they
can afford. None of us have much
ready cash but we should be willing
to share what we have with those
who are less fortunate, Our people
have been apportioned $500 of the
100000 South Carolina is asked to
contribute to the Jewish relief fund.

and this advantage of the pitcher
over the batter will be equalized," he
wrote.

Miami, Feb. 15-Mr. VIM. J. Bryan,
responding to inquiries today whether
he would be a candidate for the Sem
ate, issued statement, saying:
"If the democrats of Florida felt
that as senator / could render service
to the state and to the party in the
nation sufficient to justify them in
calling upon me to represent them at
Washington, would consider the
matter from the standpoint of duty
and in connection with other claims
upon me, but | have not thought of
entering into a contest for office"
The statement said he preferred to
continue to serve the public without
the cares of office. "No friend will
expect me at my period of life and
when my political record is known to
all, to solicit support or to take the
risk of alternating those pledged to
other aspirants. | am looking for
ward to a congenial association with
Florida democrats who have been my
co-laborers for quarter of century.
l am sure our relations will be pleas
ant so long as my plans do not con-
fiict with the ambitions of others or
with their personal preferences"

CREAMERY DEMONSTRATION

Upon the invitation of the Marion
County Creamery Company number
of people gathered at the plant this
morning at 1880 to see what sort of
demonstration Mr.. Shearer had for
them. AS soon as all the invited
guests had arrived Mr.. Shearer made
a short talk, explaining his reason for
inviting them to the plant. Those
present were Mrs. P. G. Murphy, Mrs.
Carl Ray, Mrs. F. w. Cook, Mrs. ].
w. Dumas and Miss Katherine Pyles,
Messrs. L. T. Izlar, Louis Chazal, J.
c. Johnson, Harvey Clark, R. F. Rog-
ers, B. Goldman, Robert MacKay, P
G. Murphy, Carl Ray, C. G. Rose, J.
w. Dumas, S. M. Lummus, T. B
Barnes, Mr.. Thomas and DIR. Watt.
1t was the desire of the creamery
management to let people see what
clarified and pasteurized milk really
meant. First, Mr.. Shearer called at
tention to the Sharpless clarifier and
separator. This is really a washing
machine for the milk. The milk is
first strained through cheese clotf
and poured into the Sharpless, which
is a steam driven centrifugal machine
turning at 10000 revolutions to th'
minute. This machine separates th'
cream from the milk and takes al
dirt and foreign matter out of tht
milk. In order to give the visitor'
vivid picture of the dirt that th'
Sharpless took from the milk, MI
Shearer had the machine dissemblee
in the presence of the crowd. Full!
two solid quarts of foreign matter
hair, dirt, ETC., was taken from th'
machine This dirt had collected il
clarifying 200 gallons of milk.
From the clarifer the milk goes II
the pssteurizer, where it passes owe
serie sof cold pipes until it is coolies
to about 40 degrees at which time
is botteled for use.
Mr.. Shearer treated his guests t.
some good creamery ice cream afte
he had completed the demonstration.
1t will be several days before tn
judges in the ice cream name contes
can make a decision as there is {
large number of names.

B. Y. P. U. VALENTINE PARTY

The members of the B. Y. P. u. and
few of their friends had jolly good
time at the home of DIR. C. L. Collins
last night when they met for their
valentine party. Each guest was met
at the door and presented with q
fancy paper hat decorated with
hearts and was invited into the house,
where all lights were shaded in red
and glowed romantically.
Many games were enjoyed and
jokes played on unsuspecting victims.
The unfortunate boys at the affair
were taught to thread a needle with
one eye shut and a terrible time they
had of it.
When the time came for refresh
ments to be served, each girl was
given a bow and arrow and told to
shoot down a heart that was fastened
on the wall. These hearts belonged
to the boys present. When a boys
heart was pierced by the arrow he
was declared the partner Of the
archer for the time that it took to
consume delicious sandwiches, hot
chocolate and cake.
After the refreshments were served
someone suggested wedding, so a
lovesick couple was selected and a
preacher ordained for the special pur-
lpose of making them one. All went
well until the preacher insisted on in
cooperating in the ceremony the prom
ise on the part of the bride to darn
all socks. The girl decided on single
blessedness and refused to let ths
groom salute her in the customary
manner.
The party ended at a late hour and
all went home happy just as vaien-
tine moon peeped from behind bank
of clouds.

right and proper in their treatment of

right and proper in their treatment of
Milton.
Judge Bullock, however, if they
needed his words, dissipated this er-
roneous idea. He gave them severe
lecture, in which he conclusively show
ed they had offended morality and
broken the law. He then sentenced
them as follows:
Will Chappell, $4OO and costs or ten
months Imprisonment.
Roger Lyles, Wesley Lyles and
Clyde Ray, each $3.50 and costs or nine
months. Roger Lyles tried to take
the responsibility for the offences of
another defendant, James Hooker.
James Hooker and Harvey Waters,
each $50 and costs or six months.
Harry Lee Bostick, $25.
1t seems that Bostick, when he
realized what he had done, became re-
pentant and confessed. He did not
excuse himself, but his confession
was probably the reason for his light
er fine.
1t is the impression that Judge Bull
lock, by his equitable sentences and
severe condemnation of the outrage
on Milton has given lawlessness a
setback and contributed greatly to the
safety of law-abiding people.
