Edge6eld Boy Repeatedly
Promoted.

When Edgefeld boys go out from
home to seek their fortune in other and
larger fields of endeavor it always
gives us pleasure to chronicle their sue
cessful achievements. Soon after en-
tering the employment of the United
States Shipping Board in Washington
four years ago Mr.. j. Glover Tompkins,
Jr., was promoted, and has been re-
peatedly promoted, the last promotion
being chosen traffic manager of the
South Atlantic Division with Savannah
as headquarters. Five ports, Whining
ton, Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick
and Jacksonville, are under his super
vision, he being the youngest traffic
manager in the service of the board.
This is nc mean distinction, and being
yet very young I'VE confidently expect
to see Glover Tompkins go yet much
higher, having only begun on his sue
cessful career.

Mrs. w. c. Tompkins and Mrs.
E. G. Asbell Hostesses for
Miss Wofford.

Friday. evening there were parties
galore in Edgefeld, but none was
the scene Of happier time than the
one arranged for the Girls Auxil-
iary and Royal Ambassadors at the
home of Mrs. W. C Tompkin.s. Mrs.
Tompkins and Mrs. Asbell were hos
tesses. on this occasion and as ghosts
and hobgoblins, pumpkin heads and
witches were abroad in the land
Halloween night, of course that was
the time when boys wanted to prowl
around and have some fun. They en-
countered all sorts of weird and
gruesome creatures on the way, but
finally arrived at Mrs. Tompkins'
door safe and sound.
About twenty-five boys were there
and sprinkling of girls. One of the
amusements was biting an apple at
tached to string without touching
the apple with the hand. This seemed
we'll nigh an impossible task, but by
one means or another the apples were
all eaten.
The piece de resistance Of the
evening was the talk by Miss Wof-
ford, who is especially interested
in boys and all of whom before they
left the party, she knew by name,
and said she would remember how
they looked and their names after
she left Edgefeld. Her talk was very
entertaining containing story or
two of missionary interest. Her de-
scription of the encampment at the
Summer Assembly in Greenville was
very entertaining, and she said there
would be- one hundred places reserv-
ed for the boys this summer, and
she wanted twenty-five of the boys
to be red headed. She invited the
Royal Ambassadors of Edgefeld to
come and enjoy the week there this
coming summer.
The refreshments were fruit jelly
and cakes.
A big pumpkin head with lights
inside was very attractive to the
boys and girls, and they fingered
around it like candle flies around an
electric light.
Besides the other pleasant things
mentioned, games were. played and
each one carried a small offering
with which they will purchase Mis-
sion study books for the two organi-
zations

Death of Mrs Emma Wash.

Early Monday morning Mrs. En-
ma Wash passed away at the home
of. her daughter, Mrs. T. A. Broad
water, in Edgefeld. She was sick but
a few days. In fact, it is thought the
trip to Edgefeld proved too much
for her failing strength. She made
her home with her children, dividing
the time between them, and had been
with Mrs. Broadwater but few
days when she was taken i'll.
Mrs. Wash had passed the four
score mile post on life's journey and
her long life has been a blessing not
only to her immediate loved ones but
to scores and hundreds Of others
whose lives she touched and inspired
to nobler living. Everybody who
knew this devout Christian woman
had a kindly word to speak of her.
What tribute this wasI For many
years she was a member Of Rehoboth
church, near which she passed most
of her long life, and where too her
influence will live on and on as the
years shall come and go.
Mrs. Wash leaves four sons, H. W.,
r. A., Sidney and Thomas Wash,
and three daughters, Mrs. Ed Strom,
Mrs. James Gilchrist, and Mrs. T. A.
Broadwater. The funeral was con-
Quoted at Rehoboth Monday after
noon by Rev. A. T. Allen of Edge
field.

Miss Wofford.

Baptist Woman's Mission So
ciety Entertains for Miss
WoHord.

Friday was an auspicious day for
the Baptist Mission societies when
Miss Azile Wofford of the Baptist
Headquarters in Columbia, field
agent for the Woman's Missionary
Union, came for a visit to our town
and county.
Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the home of Mrs. A. A. Woodson, a
reception was held for her when a
good number of the membership
came. Miss Wofford is a Winthrop
graduate educated by a scholarship
from the South Carolina U. D. c.,
which was one of the interesting
statements she made at the meeting.
The representatives of the various
mission societies of the various
churches were invited to be present
to get the inspiration of Miss Wof-
ford's presence. Rev. G. W. M. Tay-
lor,. on invitation of Mrs. Tillman,
president of the society, sang "I
Know He Watches Me-"
Mrs. Tillman introduced Miss
Wofford who spoke about half hour
Of the conditions in many sections
of our state and the poor opportuni-
ty for women to serve, and rejoiced
in the great doors of opportunity
and the privilege of those present to
do great things for upholding the
kingdom work.
Mrs. ]. L. Minis was called on
and made some remarks along the

Banquet in Honor of President
of Mill.

Mr.. T. A. Hightower, the capable
superintendent of Addison Mills, never
grows weary in we'll doing. Friday
night he and mis- co-workers, the heads
of the various departments of the mill,
together with the Office force, gave an
elaborate course dinner at the hotel in
compliment to Mr.. H. P. Kendell of
Boston, the president and treasurer of
the Addison Mills. About 1880 o'clock
nearly hundred persons, including a
number of ladies, gathered at the ho-
tel, engaging in pleasant conversation
in the spacious lobby until the dining
room was opened.
Promptly at eight Mr.. Hightower In
vited all into the dining room, where
they were seated about large rectan-
gular table. The numerous vases of
beautiful cut flowers, sparkling glass,
china and silver made the table sight
pleasing to look upon. This and the
beautiful manner in which the dinner
was served in courses reflected the
good taste and skill of Mrs. Chisolm,
the proprietress of the hotel. Rev. H.
E. Wright rendered thanks and invoked
the divine blessings upon the OCCASION
While the several courses of the elab-
crate menu were being served musi-
cal program was rendered, several en-
cores being also responded to. Vocal
numbers were rendered by Edgeield's
"Scrap-Iron Sextette," composed of
R. M. Scurry, j. H. Tompkins, w. O..
Posey, L. H. Prescott, w. M. Harling
and Claude Lyon, with Miss Ruth Lyon
as accompanist on the piano. Mrs. M.
B. Tucker also sang a beautiful selec-
ton.
At the conclusion of the feast, as
cigars were being passed, the host, MIR.
T. A. Hightower, arose and gave ex-
preston to appropriate words of well
come to the o,lests Of the OCCASION.
]. L. Minis responded on behalf of the
guests, and then an opportunity was
given to those who felt inclined to
speak, the occasion being altogether
informal. Short and very appropriate
talks were made by Mr.. j. VIM. Thur
mond, Mr.. N. G. Evans and Mr.. NJ. B.
Tucker. Mr.. Hightower took occasion
to extend personal greetings to Rev.
H. E. Wright, who has so recently en-
tered upon his ministry here as pastor
of the Presbyterian church, and he
made brief and appropriate response.
The last speaker of the evening was
the guest Of honor, Mr. Kendell, who
spoke in the highest and most appro-
pirate terms of the loyalty and splendid
service that is being rendered the COM
pany by Mr.. Hightower and the men
under his supervision.
Instead of being a cold, austere man,
Mr.. Kendell is genial, easy of approach
and quickly WINS those with whom he
comes in contact
So exceedingly pleasant had been the.
several hours spent together that all
regretted when the time for adjourn
ment" came, which followed short
prayer by Rev. G. W. M. Taylor.

Union Meeting at Berea.

There are no more significant gath
erings in our county than. the union
meetings which have been handed
down from time immemorial as a
heritage to the Baptists of Edgefield
Association. The Saturday programs
are not so we'll attended, but that is
not q reason for Encouragement,
but fer more work in making pro-
gram worth while and for man to
leave his business and come. There
has never been a time when every
body was interested. The fact that
there are those not interested is the
reason for continuing the good work,
and we raust speed up in obtaining
this interest
Sunday, tn writer reached the
church while Rev. A. T. Allen was
preaching, and afterwards heard
many expressions of appreciation Of
his splendid message, taken from the
text, "With God, all things are pos
sible."
Following the sermon the query
on Sunday school work was taken up
and discussed by A. S. Brunson and
]. L. Minis:
Mr.. W. B. Matthews of Stevens
Creek church acted as moderator on
Sunday and his remarks and splendid
interest in his task added greatly to
the value of the meeting.
The recess hour was spent around
the long and abundant table, where
fried chicken, pies and cakes and
salads of various kinds, all the prod
ucts of good cooking, were enjoyed.
No one has yet written eulogy ade-
quate in praise of the faithfulness
of the good. women of Edgefeld as
sociaticn who for the decades past
have given their cheerful labors IN
this form of hospitality. 1t is a get
together time, the influence of which
can never be computed.
There are ways by which the busi-
ness world can get together, but it
is necessary for Christian people in a
community and county to know
each other and have fellowship.
In the afternoon a part of the
program was in charge of the Wo-
mans Missionary Union and at this
time, Mrs. J. L. Minis, Mrs. Mamie
N. Tillman and Mrs. A. T., Allen
spoke on the respective departments
of the work in which they were most
interested.
Mr.. E. C.. Asbell of Edgefeld, as
the last speaker, made very effec-
tive plea for the IS Million campaign
pledges without referring specially
ito the campaign itself, and his re-
marks were heartily received. Mr..
Asbell expressed his great pleasure
at being with the union meeting at
Berea.
The place of next meeting will be
Edgefeld fifth Sunday in April.

Just a Few Men
Now Needed for
New Company

Only a few more men are now
needed to complete the roster of the
new Brigade Headquarters company
of the Maine National Guard now
being formed in Augusta.
While the enlistments in the new
organization have not been rapid,
every man who has signed up has
passed the necessary physical exam
iuation. one of the recent recruits
is Ernest II. Sherman. assistant
baker at the Sunbeam bakery. This
means, of course, that when the boys
go into camp another year they will
have pretty high grade cooking.
Captain Hart and Lieutenant Net
calf will be glad to receive recruits
tonight at the almory of the Quarter
master Detachment on Grove street.
1t is hoped that the young men Of
Augusta will show sufficient interest
in the new organization so that it
will begin functioning not later than
the first of the year. AS soon as it
is fully organized work with radio
and other means Of communication
Will be started.
