that they will find ready sale for
all candy they provide for the occa-

Sunday school add large sum to it's
treasury through the efforts of those

Valuable Merchandise Stolen.

Friday night one or more persons
entered the store of Stewart & Ker-
naghan and stole considerable guam
tity of valuable merchandise. The
building was entered through one of
the rear windows, an iron bar that
held the window being removed.
Among the things that were taken
form the store were two Parker guns,
one Remington automatic gun, two
Winchester rifles, two pump guns
and two Essex single-barrel guns.
Practically all of the cutlery from
the show cases was carried away and
a large quantity of loaded shells
were taken by the robbers. 1t is prob
able that other things were also re-
moved. In a large hardware stock
such as Stewart & Kernaghan carry
it would not be an easy matter to miss
smaller articles. Up to this time no
trace of the robbers has been found
but surely they will be apprehended.
1t should not be possible for any man
or set of men to steal and dispose of
merchandise such as was stolen Fri
day night without leaving some clue
behind. They should be apprehend-
ed and punished to the full extent of
the law.

called upon to preside over the liter
ary program, and called on Mrs. j.
W. Peak for a paper on Thanksgiv
ing. This was very helpful to all who
heard it, both for its historical fea-
lures and it's spiritual appeal.
Mrs. M. B. Tucker sang love
song, DAWN" which was the only
musical number, but which enlivened
the program.

to make report of the proceedings
of the recent d. A. R. Conference in

Interesting incidents as we'll as busi-
ness affairs.

living rooms, and the silver service of
this battleship which is now in the
possession of the State Regent, and
will be held by the South Carolina

Both Edge6eld Teams are
Victoric,

Friday early in the noon the
girls basketball team :ootball
team Of the McCo. school
arrived to play the L. en teams.
Promptly at 2:3O o'clock the game of
basketball was played on the school
campus between the visiting girls and
the Edgefeld girls. The game was
good from start to finish, the score
being 12 to in favor of Edgefeld
Those who witnessed the game have
pronounced it the best Of the season.
Immediately following the basket
ball game the football contest was
held on the athletic field. Our boys
had an easy victory, as the score, Cd
to 0, shows. Much of the time the
members Of Edgefeld's second team
played and still Mccormick was un-
able to make a score. The outstand-
ing feature of the game was the
splendid playing of Edward Peak.
Mr.. 7. 3, Greneker won fresh laurels
for himself also as a referee. The
coach of the Mccormick football
team said Mr.. Greneker was the best
referee he has seen this season. We
congratulate the Edgefeld boys upon
their sweeping victory, and also our
girls upon their excellent playing.
They go to Aiken tomorrow to play
the high school team there.
