Death of MIR. j. D. Moore, Jr.

Death of MIR. j. D. Moore, Jr.
Early Wednesday mrning, Novem-
Der 20, Mr.. J. D. Moore, Jr., passed
away at the Aiken Hospital after a
short but painful suffering caused
from an accident which occurred at a
saw mill near his home on Friday,
November "a.
Many of his friends did not know
how seriously he was injured and his
death was a surprise to many.
Mr.. Moore had not been in South
Carolina but about four years, but
had made many friends and was but
recently married, and was highly re-
garded in his home section. The fu-
neral was conducted by Rev. G. W.
M. Taylor at Berea church Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. A large num-
Der of friends and relatives attended
to pay a last tribute to him.
He was laid to rest by his father
who died about a year ago. He is sur
vived by his young wife, who was
Miss Hazel QUITS, and a devoted
mother, several brothers and sisters.
To these bereaved friends we extend
our sincere sympathy.
A FRIEND.

Revival Meeting Closed at the
Presbyterian Church.

Edgefeld has had many revival
meetings, but none in recent years
has been calculated to do more good
to the community than the one held
last week and a part of this week in
the Presbyterian church. DR.. W. II.
Mile of Davidson, N. c., brought the
gospel message every day and night,
and Mr.. w. Furman Belts of Raleigh,
led the singing. The first service at
which DR.. Mile appeared was at the
Methodist church on the morning of
Thanksgiving Day, when he came
from Trenton where he had just
closed a four days. meeting. The ar
rangement to Edgefeld was rather
unexpected, and had not been adver-
tised in advance, hence it was several
days before the public knew of it. DR..
Mile preached morning and evening
through Wednesday night, and his ex-
position of the scriptures was full of
power and enlightenment. His illus
trations were taken from personal
experiences for the most part and
were original and entertaining as well
as giving splendid emphasis to the
truths he emphasized. Those who
were fortunate enough to hear DIR.
Mile were greatly benefited spirit
ually, and his going away was regret
ted. His presence vas a benediction
to our town and community, and it is
a great comfort to know that the
kingdom of God is in the hands of
such men, and that they will go on
conquering and to conquer.
Mr.. Belts sang with great fervor
and gave the gospel message in song
at each service, and added a great
benefit to the meeting and the COM
munity. AS a result of the meeting,
there were three additions by con-
fession and three by letter to the
churches of the town, and seventy
persons expressed their desire to re-
conecrate themselves to a fuller
service.

Death Of Mrs. M. B.. Hamilton

The Edgefeld friends Of Mrs. NJ.
B. Hamilton were deeply saddened
by the announcement of her death
which occurred at a hospital in Co
.lumbia at II o'clock Monday. She had
been there for treatment since the
latter part of September and the last
information received by her friends
here was to the effect that she was
steadily improving, which accounts in
part for the shock caused by the an
nouncement of her death. She had
been in failing health for a long
time and bore her suffering with
beautiful patience and Christian for
titude. During her long illness she re-
ceived the most devoted attention
from her loved ones and also had the
best medical attention. Gods work
for her here had been completed and
He called her up higher to join loved
ones who had gone before. Mrs. Ham
ilton was a devout Christian woman,
being an active member Of Berea
church for many years. She vas al
together unselfsh, finding her chief
JOY in contributing to the happiness
Of loved ones in the home circle. BY
them she will be greatly missed and
to these: bereaved friends we extend
profound sympathy.
Before her marriage Mrs. Hamil-
ton was Miss Helen Greene, a daugh-
ter of the lamented Mr.. and Mrs. II.
F. Greene. She is survived by her
devoted husband, three sons, Fred,
Clyde, and Marion Hamilton, and
three daughters, Mrs. James Lamb,
and Misses Lallie and Myrtle Ham
lton. The funeral was conducted at
Berea church Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock by Rev. P. P. Blalock.

City Beautiful Club.

A town or city is largely an aggre-
cation of individuals and an aggre-
cation Of homes. One individual or
one home cannot make a town but
hundreds Of individuals and hundreds
of homes make a town. Then it fol-
lows too that the appearance of the
town as a whole depends upon the ap-
pearance of the individual homes.
When a majority of the homes on
a certain street or in a certain section
of a town are neglected, have an I'M
attractive environment and need a
coat of paint then We say that that
section of the town or that sreet is
unsightly and creates an unfavorable
impression upon visitors who come
and go. On the other hand, when up
on another street is located attrac-
tive residences, newly painted, sur
rounded by well-kept grounds and
made more beautiful by flowers and
shrubbery, then that street is not in
frequently referred to as the beauty
spot Of the town. Upon which street
would you prefer to own a home? The
answer is evident.
The general appearance of a town
or community is what the people
make it or want it to be. When the
streets are neglected, when vacant
lots are almost covered with waste
paper, little and trash, when private
premises are neglected and not prop
erly kept it is because the people are
Indifferent and neglectful. In other
a town, from every point of
view, is largely what the people make
it.
Now, in order to improve the ap-
pearance Of the city as a whole by
improving the appearance Of the in
dividual homes, Greenville has inaug-
urated a City Beautiful movement. A
club has been organized with several
hundred members, each of whom
pledges himself or herself to make
their own home and home surround
more attractive. Every town
should have its City Beautiful Club,
of men and women who
will bestir themselves and make their
premises more attractive. Use the
paint brush whenever and wherever
possible-certainly apply the white
wash brush mor frequently-plant
evergreens, Towering shrubs, roses
and the sundry ANNALS that will give
added color, life and beauty to the
home surroundings. With all of the
homes in Edgefeld thus improved,
the general appearance OF the old
town would be enhanced an hundred
per cent. Certainly that much and
more in some sections. If Greenville,
the Pearl of the Piedmont, feels the
need of a City Beautiful Club, how
much more should .Edgefield feel the
need of such a identifying agency!
Who will move in the matter of or
ganizing a City Beautiful Club for
Edgefeld?

Educational Week.

We are in the midst of National
Educational Week, and the South
Carolina next to the bottom in the
matter of ~illiteracy, surely We, need
an educational stimulus. According
to the statistics of 1920, Louisiana's
illiteracy is 21.9 per cent and South
Cardinals is 1871. While of course
great forward strides have been made
in the last decade in every section Of
the state, and particularly so in
Edgefeld county, yet there is much
room for improvement. Our people
should press forward for better and
better and still better schools, with

A Better Spirit Prevails.

A year ago the people of Edgeield
county, with but few:exceptions, were
f%oundering in the Slough Of des-
pond" Not only were back debts
piled upon them, with practically no
returns from the years work with
which to pay off these debts, but that
which made an already bad situation
worse, was the detected and hopeless
condition of u people. They had no
heart or courage to plan or project
anything for the future.
Conditions have already changed
and improved. The very satisfactory
yields of cotton that have been made
this year in many sections of the
county, including the rough, clay
sections, has demonstrated that cot
ton can be p~roftably grown right here
in Edgefeld county under boil weevil
conditions, especially at the prevail
ing price. A half bale to the acre sell
ing for rs cents, near more profit
to the farmer than a bale to the acre
did at the pre-war price of 10 or IL
cents. The success of this year has
caused scores and hundreds of our
farmers to resolve to plant more cot
ton next year, and not only plant
more but MAKE MORE cotton. They
realize that with early and thorough
preparation, rapid cultivation and fire.
quent applications of poison cotton
can be grown right here in spite of
the boil weevil.
Yes, a better spirit prevails among
our people, and with a larger meas
ure of success browning their efforts
in 1923 they will press forward for
greater and greater achievements I'M
til normal conditions have been re-
stored. We do not near the abnor-
NAL conditions of 1918 and 1919. 1t
would not be best to have a return of
such conditions as prevailed then.
