Memorial Service at Baptist
Sunday School.

Sunday morning memorial SER
vice was held in the Baptist church
in memory of Mr.. A. S. Tompkins,
who had so long been a superintend-
ent of the school.
Mr.. Orlando Sheppard who was
the only speaker, recalled the inter-
esting fact that in his memory, there
had been but four superintendents
of the Sunday school, all of whom
had been close friends of his in the
passing years. The first was Mr.. A. j.
Norris, for long years an honored
superintendent, then Mr.. A. S.
Tompkins, who served perhaps longer
in this capacity than any who pre-
ceded or followed him. He referred
to their close and abiding friendship.
Following Mr. Tompkins was Mr..
W. B. Cogburn, who served as super
intendent Of the Sunday school in an
era of its greatest success during the
administration of DR.. C. E. Burts,
and later. Mr.. Sheppard spoke of the
great loss he had sustained personal
ly in the passing away of this faith
full friend.
The present superintendent is Mr..
J. H. Cantelou, who has followed in
the footsteps of his predecessors in
keeping the love of the Sunday
school deeply implanted in the hearts
of the children.
At the close of the talk, the class
of Mrs. B. B. Jones, consisting of
14-year old girls sang from the choir
the "Sweet BY and BY" and the
names of the church members who
had died during the year were read
by Mr.. Cantelou as follows, Mrs. Ida
Mrs. E. E. Adams, Mr.. w.
B. Cogburn, Mr.. A. S. Tompkins and
Mr.. j. D. Holstein.

Resolutions on the Death of
MIR. A. S. Tonpkins.

Whereas: For the past thirty years
Arthur smyly Tomp&ins has been
one of the truest friends of the Edge
field High School. He gave his time;
his talents; his means; and was loved
and revered by the entire student
body. His visits to the school were
always hailed with delight. His talks
were always instructive as well as en-
tertaining because of his intellect
and inimitable wit and he never
came without leaving some child's
heart happier.
Measured by the standards of ser
vice and self sacrifice, he who sleeps
today bears with him to the tomb a
legacy so rare that even envy is COM
PEELED to pay the tribute of adrai-
ration.
Therefore, be it resolved
First, that while we shall miss him,
we bow in humble submission to Him
who doeth all things well, and shall
strive to emulate his worthy example
Second, That copy of these reso-
lutions be published in the next
school paper; copy sent to the fam
lily; page in our minute book be
dedicated to his memory and a copy
be published in each of the county
papers.

Much Needed Enterprise.

A movement is on foot to estab-
lish a creamery in Edgefeld which
will enable the farmers who have
but a few cows to realize profit
from the cream. Instead of having
to ship the milk and cream away to
other towns, once or twice a week
and paying high express, they can
bring their cream to Edgefeld any
day in the week. More than half the
capital stock for the creamery has
been secured and the balance will
be easily secured. This is a much
needed enterprise and one which
should be profitable to the stock
holders, as we'll as helpful to the
farmers.

LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION

Today marks the one hundred and
thirty-fifth anniversary of the adoption of
the American Constitution. In 1887 the
population of the United States was less
than four million; today, with its outlying
possessions, it is nearly one hundred and
twenty-five million. From an aggrega-
ton of colonial dominions for century
and half previous to the adoption of the
Constitution, we have risen to the first
rank among the nations of the world.
The names Of Washington, Hamilton,
Franklin and Madison will remain i'm
mortal for having bequeathed TO the
world the greatest charter of liberty ever
known to mankind. After reading the
Constitution, William Pitt said:
ut will be the wonder and admira-
ton of all future generations and
the model of all future constitutions"
The trainers embodied in this document
the political wisdom and genius of all the
ages and with foresight equal to prophecy,
Incorporated provisions which render
it adaptable and responsive to the needs
of a growing people. 1t has withstood
every attack from without and within,
without sacrificing a single principle upon
which our government was founded. 1t
contains a legal remedy for every evil
which it is within the power of human
government to cure. No constitution ever
before secured political equality to man
or established a government based upon
the consent of the governed.
Demagogues have assailed it, men who
have taken a solemn oath to support it
have encouraged its violation, but none
has ever offered anything in lieu of it.
Those who would destroy it constitute a
negligible minority, while millions have
offered their lives in its defence.
For one hundred and thirty-five years
the Constitution has proved to be the
strongest foundation for the political
security of a people that has ever been
devised. No finer nor more just tribute
has been paid to it than that of the late
Baron Rosen, the former Russian Ambas-
sador, whose people are today struggling
under yoke of despotism:
although not citizen of your
great country, | am heart and soul
with you and your associates in the
glorious fight you are making for the
preservation of your peerless Consti-
tuition, which has made your country
what it is, and which is today the
brightest hope of mankind"

TODAY'S BEST TlHOUGMT

Under the American Constitution was realized
the sublime conception of nation in which every
citizen lives under two complete and well-rounded
systems Of laws,--the state and the federal law
each with its legislature its executive and its judi
ciary moving one within the other noseessly, and
without friction. 1t Of the longest reaches
Of constructive craftsmanship ever known in the
world There never was anything quite like it be-
fore, and in Europe it needs much explanation even
Tor educated statesmen who have never seen its
workings. Yet to America it has become much
matter of course that they too sometimes need to
be told how much it signifies In 1887 it was the
substitution OF law for violence between states that
were partly sovereign. In future still grander
convention we trust the thing will be done be-
tween states that have been wholly sovereign,
whereby peace may gain and violence be diminished
over other lands than this which has set the
example" JOHN FISKE
