Post Office Building Destroyed
by Fire

Early Sunday morning about $50
o'clock the building in which the
postoffice was located was totally
destroyed by fire. The building was
owned by DR.. J.. G. Tompkins and
DR.. R. A. Marsh, who had offices on
the second floor, and the entire first
floor was used for the postoffice.
The fire company responded prompt
ly to the alarm but the flames had
made such Roadway that it was i'm
possible, despite the desperate eff
forts made, to save the building. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Not
withstanding the fact that Drs.
Tompkins and Marsh carried $1,000
insurance on the building, the post
office equipment, medical library and
surgical instruments, they will lose
heavily. Mr.. C. M. Mellichamp, the
postmaster, has opened temporary
quarters in a building across the
street, owned by Mr.. B. B. Jones,
and is doing everything possible to
handle the mails with dispatch until
a better arrangement can be pro-
vided.

Law and Order League
Formed

Promptly at eight o'clock Monday
night, in spite of the inclement
weather, a large number of citizens
of Edgefield, including a consider
able number of women, assembled in
the court house in response to the
call for a mass meeting, issued by
the ministers of Edgefield in the
papers last week. Rev. G. w. NJ.
was unanimously chosen as chairman
of the meeting and he stated at some
length why it was deemed wise for
the citizens of Edgefield to come to-
gether and discuss the prevalence of
lawlessness and seeming increasing
disregard for law. T. B. Greneker
offered resolutions urging those in
authority to be more diligent in en-
forcing the law and calling up the
citizens to give the officers Of the
law their support and cooperation.
Before the resolutions were acted
upon, being finally adopted unani-
mously, a very through discussion of
local conditions, especially with refer
ence to the violation of the prohibi-
lion law, was engaged in by about a
dozen citizens. The two candidates
for mayor of the town, DR.. j. G. Ed
wards and w. w. Adams, made brief
statements. 1t is generally conceded
that the discussion will have a whole
some effect and that the meeting will
bear fruit in the form of a better en-
forcement of the ordinances of the
town. A law and order league was
organized by the election of Rev.
G. w. M. Taylor, president; M. B.
Tucker, vice president, and w. G.
Lynch, secretary and treasurer.
The following are the resolutions
introduced by Mr.. G%reneker:
WHEREAS, there seems to be an
utter disregard for law and order
by some of the citizens of our county
and state, and,
WHEREAS, unless something is
done to check the same and instill
into the minds of our people a higher

To a Friend of Mine

Tonight my lights. r burning low
Ny flags at half mast
Sorrow has dimmed the sunshine
glow
That cheered me in the past.
For a friend of mine, to me so dear
Has foundered on the rocks
The tidal wave; him swept SO near
could not stand its shock.
He fought so bravely against he tide
Not only for himself to win
But sought to help others by his side
That struggled in the din.
With manly pride through each or
deal
That tried his soul with fire
His hand was outstretched to each
appeal
From unfortunate's in the mire.
With face to the front, he braved the
storm
Only stopping now and then
To give word of. cheer, or save from
harm
Some Brother, child, or friend.
His sensitive nerves were too high
strung
TO stand waves of CLASS" discord
That on the business sea is being
sung
Both here and all abroad.
o, God of Hosts, hear this prayer
of ours
For a raft in the cloud
That hovers near It's threading
showers
In distant thunder cry aloud.
o, Giver of life whose unseen hand
Guides us Ger the ymstery Sea
Show US the way, give the command
That will bring him back to me.

general sessions convened Monday
with Judge Ernest Moore presiding.
All of the other court officials were
promptly at their respective posts

very able charge to the grand jury
was made by Judge Moore, in which
he stressed the Importance of the
grand jurous discharging their duty
to the end that a better enforcement
of the law be brought about. He al
so urged that the county offices be
examined and that attention be gi en
to our public schools. Judge Moore
ranks among the ablest judges on
the bench and his charge was timely,
forceful and effective.

ASPARAGUS TO
RESIST RUST
Washington Variety Developed
So it Will Stand against
This Disease

The recent visit to Southern Califor.
MIA by DR.. W. A. Orion, Pathologist Of
the Bureau of Plant Industry, brings to
mind the story of the Washington
strain of asparagus, which, after near
ly fifteen years of experimentation by
DR.. Orton and his associates, was intro
duccd here about year ago.
The Washington asparagus is rust
rcsistcnt variety. For the past twenty
five years the asparagus growers of the
United States hava been worried by rs.
paragus rust. California suffered, too,
but sulphur dust sprays were found to be
effective in cultailing the losses from
this pernicious trouble.
Asparagus rust is caused by a para
Site fungus, Puecinia asparagi. 1t was
not found i'll America until 1896, when
it was introduced into the New England
States. In IN wears it had spread 70
