IS 'JunIor-Sen1or Receptions;


The Junior class Of the Edg gefeldi
High School entertained the Senior,
class at reception on Friday even.
ing May IL, at the home Of Miss Eliz-
abeth Lott.
The guests were entertained in the
spacious parlor until the charming
hostess, Mrs. w. E. Lott, invited them
in to partake of the delightful re-
freshments, where two tables We're
prepared for them. The menu consist
ed of dainty salad course including:
Chicken salad, sandwiches, olives,
crackers, chips and pickle and iced
tea; block cream and cake and mints.
When this delightful repast had
been enjoyed to the highest extent,
Miss Sara Reeves acted as toast-mis-
tress of the occasion, calling first on
Miss Gladys Lawton. Miss Lawton
arose and made toast to the seniors
in which she spoke very kindly and
lovingly of the "Be Square" class and
wished them much luck in their col
lege career. Eleanor Minis, as presi-
dent of the senior class, responded in
a wish for their success as seniors
next year. Mr.. w. o. Tatum, Jr., was
then toasted by Elizabeth Lott in
many words of praise, and wishes for
his great happiness and success in
years to come while he grows young
er year by year. Prof, Tatum re-
sponded in few words, blushing IS
a worthy person might well do, at the
thought of such praise. Isabel Byrd
toasted the Faculty, as farewell to
the ones who leave this year, but to
all, good Fortune. Miss Beckham, as
lady principal responded in a few
words.
Progressive conversation followed
for an hour, during which all the top
les of the day were discussed, espe-
/ cially the weather, though privately.
Among those present were Mrs. S.
A. Morrall and Mr., Edward Platt Of
Graniteville, who were very welcome
guests.
The guests departed at the all too
early hour of eleven-thirty, hoping
that this occasion might not be the
last to both Juniors and seniors.

Our Absent Friend.

James n. Williams was known far
and wide,
For the wonderful way in which he
could ride;
Often he caused excited looks on
many anxious faces,
By his fearlessness on the track in
motorcycle races.
In his home town, Savannah, he was
known quite well
And in other cities he has been in ra
ces too numerous to tell.
Although as pilot Of motorcycles he
would generally ride,
Many racing automobiles he has also
driven beside.
In Savannah, April 26th, he was to
enter an automobile race,
And when he started out little did he
know of what he was about to
face;
He had already had one accident
that day,
But that did not drive his determine
tion away
In the trials for track record James
hadn't gone far,
When his Essex was turned over
twice and he was thrown from the
car;
Immediately he was examined by his
old physician,
And it was learned that he was in
very serious condition.
The physician and nurse tried to give
him comfort, but vainly they tried;
And soon the Death Angel came and
made them stand aside.
He gently grasped our dear James by
his hand
To pilot him on to that better, better
land. =
"James, we all miss you, but the dear
Lord knew best;
And He saw fit to take you to His
Heavenly Home Of rest.
While you have left US behind with a
tear in each eye,
With pleasure we look forward to
meeting you by and by"
The writer had known James for two
years or more,
And not finer boy have / ever met
before.
His chair will always be vacant in his
large circle of friends,
And we will never stop missing him
until our life's journey ends.

Reply to MIR. Harling's State
ment Last Week.

1t is much regretted that Mr.. Har-
ling has misinterpreted my statement
that 81 demanded of him to arrest
the parties referred to in my article
in The Advertiser of May 4th. In or
der that the public may not misun-
derstand Mr.. Harling nor myself, the
following explanation is made in ref
erence to the matter. Mr.. Harling has
stated that I never made a "demand"
upon him to arrest the parties.
In reply assert that I did make
such demand. I did not say 81 de-
mand of you," which would have been
la direct demand, butsdid make an in
direct demand as will be seen in the
following words, which are as both
Mr.. Harling and myself recall the
conversation: "Chief, are you not go
ing to arrest those men? You know
they should be arrested" Without ar
gument, these words constitute an
implied or indirect demand, and Mr..
Harling must admit it if he will think
it over.
He states further that I did not
speak to him "until after the parties
had already gotten in their cars and
driven away" If he will refresh his
memory, as he has admitted to me, he
will recall that he walked up to the
railroad tracks beyond MIR. w. G.
Byrd's store, with the intention, so
he tells me, of protecting me, as they
would pass me at that point in leav-
ing from the front Of Mr., Byrd's
store. He will also recall that he has
admitted that we were talking togeth-
er as one of the cars passed in which
part of the men were riding.
l. have been perfectly fair with Mr..
Harling. Upon my request he accom-
panied me when I consulted nth the
mayor about the warrants on the
morning of April 10Th. In his pres
ence told the mayor what Mr.. Har-
ling had saibabout 'shis hands being
tied" Later, before gave the article
to The Advertiser, told Mr.. Harling
the substance Of the article, and he
said he had no personal objection to
it. assured Mr.. Harling repeatedly
that did not wish to put his position
in jeopardy, nor to cast any false
light on his attitude in the case. Had
he come to me and so requested, l
would have gladly made a public
statement correcting his misunder-
standing of my demand" upon him.
I do not believe that anyone doubts
but that Mr.. Harling is conscientious
and will do his full duty if not handi-
capped.

Wednesday, May IL.
Gee, won't dem politishums roll

Watch for slump in the chewing
gum sales this summer, on account
SO much chewing the rag over poll
lies.
Lieut-Gov. Harvey's good fortune
will cause the woods to be full OF
candidates for lieutenant governor
this summer.
When the town authorities fail to
do their duty thanks to Federal au-
thorities for stepping in and putting
10 route violators of the law.
Already Office seekers are bowlng
a little lower and raising their hats
a little higher to women than in for
1ner voting years. There's reason.
It would be difficult to decide whihc
was the happier of the, two over Gov
ernor Cooper's Federal appointment,
The Governor himself or gentleman
from Charleston.

With money gone, credit gone,
morale gone, and practically nothing
left for him and his but mortgage
on the farm-that's the fellow who
is in need of sympathy. Not alone
sympathy expressed in empty words,
but practical, helpful sympathy.
Two Elements of Citizenship.
candidates for office, both county
and State, should bear in mind that
there are two distinct elements Of
citizenship in Edgefeld county. There
are those who sympathize with the
making and selling of whiskey, on
the one hand, and those who stand
unqualifedly for the suppression of
whiskey, on the other. 1t is generally
conceded that the men and women
who stand for sobriety are vastly in
the majority. Furthermore, the line
of cleavage between the two is clear
and unmistakable and, to be. success
full, candidates for Office must be as
clear cut in their affiliations. The man
who thinks he can win the support
of both elements deceives himself.
There was time when a candidate
could run with the hare and the
hound but our people are too intelli-
gent now for such policy to win.
Will Volley and Thunder.
More than for a number of years,
,demagogues will volley and thunder
this summer about high taxes, but
thoughtful, intelligent men and wo-
men will not be deceived by them.
The great need in South Carolina to-
day is not less expenses in running
the government in all Of its branches,
including the support our schools
.and colleges, but more equitable
distribution of the tax burden. The
fact is, more money is needed, in
stead of less, if we would keep
abreast of other States.
Speaking of proper distribution
OF the tax burden, the polltlclan WHO
advocates this in the campaign this
summer will have mounted this po-
litical hobby too late. A great for
ward stride was made in this direc-
tion by the last General Assembly
and had more luxuries been taxed,
as an effort was made to accomplish,
a satisfactory conclusion would have
been reached. Beware Of Office seek
sers who pose as the poor mans
friend. Their promises are generally
stepping stones to Office and are for
gotten after the election.
