Alioe Bodie, at the home of thc
officiating minister.
Mies Kate Samuel left Mondax
to spend several weeks in New
York to study spring styles and to
assist Mr. Turner in purchasing
spring millinery for his two stores.
Shall the successor to the S. C.
CI be a high school or a boarding
school? This is the question which
is perplexing many parents Lu Edge
field at this time.
Mr. B. L. Holston returned from
Atlanta Saturday, where he pur
chased another lot of horses and
mules. They can be seen athis home
in western Edgefield.
Mr. T. B. Lanham is greatly en
joying the sunny south. He receiv
ed a letter from Mrs. Lanham yes
terday in which she said the ther
mometer stood at zero in Medina
Saturday.
The county treasurer's office will
close March 15, and he has enough
work to keep him busy every mo
ment between now and then. Come
forward, pay your tax and avoid
the rush.
Everybody speaks of the fine
prospect for a large yield of oats.
Unless some unusual disaster be
falls the crop hundreds of farmers
.will be independent of the western
corn grower early in May.
Probably a score or more resi
dences have been painted in Edge
field during the past 90 days, which
has greatly improved the general
appearance of the old town. Let the
good work go on.
Having completed her mid-session
examinations. Miss Elizabeth Rains
ford came home from the College
for Women to spend several days,
returning to Columbia Monday
morning last.
Edgefield merchants are already
selling seacoast cabbage plants by
the thousands, which means that
much attention is being given to
early gardens in this vicinity. As
soon as the soil is in proper condi
tion many seed will be planted in
the gardens.
Dr. R. A. Marsh has greatly im
proved his home on Main street. In
addition to having considerable re
pairs made, he has the residence
painted inside and out. The entire
premises now present the appear
ance of being entirely new.
The Southern railway oorapany
has recently had the depot wired.
The office, platform and waiting!
rooms are brilliantly lighted at j
night by electricity. Instead of be
ing one of the darkest places in
town, the depot is now one of the
most brilliantly lighted places.
Thanks to the Southern.
Those who have attended the
Oom Exposition are amased at its
size and scope, and would cot have
missed the opportunity for any
reasonable sum. There is yet time
in which to tro if you have not al
ready attended. Do not let the op
portunity pass. It in not probable
that another corn exposition will be
held in South Carolina for a genera
tion hence.
Mr. James B. Kennerly came in
off the road to spend Saturday and
Sunday at home. It was reported
that he had sever jd bia business re
lations with the lartre Cliicago house
and had made a contract with shoe;
manufacturers in Atlanta. This is a
mistake, as he ba? renewed his
chicago contract for another year.
Mr. Kennerly has made a success
on the road and is pleased wirb the!
outlook for 1913.

?very public spirited citizen in
Edgefield. Attend the mass meet
ng Friday afternoon and help solve
.lie problem.
There was only one sale of real es
;ate at public outcry Monday. One
iwentieth interest in 350 acres, J.
W. Miller, plaintiff, against George
md C. C. Fuller, defendants, was
nought by Sheppard Bros., attor
leys, for the sum of $105. The

Mr. P. M. Markeri was in town
yesterday on business and told The
Advertiser's representative briefly
)f the construction of the enormous
lam across the Savannah by the
Georgia-Carolina Power company.
Having accepted Mr. Markert's in
vitation to visit his home early in
March in order to see this colossal
indertakin?; in person, we will give
i write-up at some length for the
benefit of The Advertiser's readers.
Purchased Gasoline Engine.
Our good friend George Quarles
is netting a new pace for his Red
Hill neighbors. He came to Edge
field yesterday and purchased a
four-horse power gasoline engine
and wood sawing outfit from Messrs.
Steward & Kernaghan. Mr. Quarles
says labor ?sjscarce in section and
that he will make the engine do
many things he has been do
ing by hand-power. Messrs. Stew
art <fe Kernaghan have sold gasoline
engines to a number of farmers,
and there are yet hundred? in
Edgefield county who should have
this economical power on thoir
farms.
Off for the Corn Show.
A Ropers-Colliers j arty of pro
gressive farmers, consisting of D.
E. Lanham, E. H. Mathis, C. T.
Mathis, J. L. Miller, H. W. McKie
and Ernest Miller, left yesterday to
spend two days at tho corn exposi
tion. With the possible exception
of Mr. .1. L. Miller, none of these
trentlemen have ever visited Colum
bia before. If it served no oilier
purpose, a corn 6how is a good
thiner to pull people out of the rut
in which they have been moving for
nigh on to 100 years-such old men
as Henry McKie and Ernest. Miller.
One thing is certain, no visitors to
the exposition will receive great
er benefit than these six in
telligent men.
S.C.C. I. News.
J. C. Applewhite presided over
the Sunday night meeting of ohe
Y. M. C. A. The scripture leBson
which he read was from Matthew
5th chapter. Mr. Themas Lanham
once of Edgefield county, but how
in charge of county Y. M. C.
A. work near Cleveland, Ohio, ad
dressed our society: His subject
which he fitly and ably discussed
was, "Our purpose in life." Mr.
Lanham gripped his audience with
the earnest and consecrated talk
he made. His text was found in
Phil. 3:13 and he gave us three
rules that a Christian should fol
low: 1st, study God's word, 2nd,
talk to him in prayer and 3rd, help
others. The association greatly ap
preciated this fine address. Capt.
Taylor is trying to secure another
attractive speaker for our next
meeting.
The la9t talk that Dr. J. F. Vines
of Anderson gave us was a week
ago last Tuesday. At the chapel
exercises he especially urged us to
come to Christ and be saved.
On Friday morning over a dozen
cadets and all the college girls
marched down to the station to see
Dr. Vines depart. A hand shake all
around was all the time he had be
fore the train pulled out bearing
the beloved preacher, dearer now
than ever before to over fifty newly
saved young people.
Friday night tour C. I. boarding
girls were baptized into the fellow
ship of the Baptist church. Misses
?Sallie Mims, Myra Morrb, Clara
Sauls and Leila Bandy were the
ones that received the sacred ordi
nance. A most remarkable fact
about the girls is that there is not
a single girl boarding in thebuild
ing that is not now a follower of
Jesus Christ. 1
Sunday morning was a joyous ,
times, Pm sure, for Dr. Jeffries for
he buried six cadets in baptism that
morning. Cadets A S Kilgore, VV
K M erndon, L P Elam, H T Joye,
G S Leslie and C T Burnett. The .
special prayers of the Edgefield
Baptist church must surely now be, ?
for these new members that they
may grow in grace and usefulness. '
Mr. and Mrs. A. Ham Brant '
from Ruf?in, S. C., arrived at the
college Thursday to see their son
and left Saturday.
John Kandy from Aiken and his j
little brother were at the college
Sunday.
The following cadets are on i
leave: Private Atkinson to Colliert*j"'
lieutenant D B Woodward to Ai
ken, corporal Foster to Greenville, (
private Partlow to Augusta. Cadet
captains Horton and Croxton were ,
away Monday in Columbia to attend |,
the corn show.
Through some mistake the full I
roll of the newly elected ofiieers of ;
the Pierian Literary .Society wa9 \
not published last week. I omitted <
that of censor. Cadet J. C. Apple- ?
white wis elected to that office. t
In the recent competitive drill
heid here recently between the two 1
companies, Co. B. was successful, *
capturing both medals. Private .
Reese won the recruit medal and '
1st sergeant Kilgore, the old boys. ?
The Pierian Literary Society held :
another interesting debate which
was resolved: 'That the steamboat
has done more for civilization than 1
the locomotive." The debate was
won by the affirmative. Special men
tion must be made of the reader.
His piece was comical but well
read- The installation of the new
ofiieers took place at tim meeting.
The vice president made a splendid
inaugural speech. On account of the
absence of the president no speech
was made by him but we will ex
pect one next meeting.
It is understood that this year
the school will go ou an encamp
ment to Greenwood in April. The
cadets will march about half way
to Greenwood where the citizens of
that town will send automobiles to
convey us to that city. The return
trip will be made by the train. All
together five days will be consumed
in the encampment.
The Fiddian Literary Society for
girls also met Monday afternoon. A
full attendance with the exception
of one member, witnessed a very
interesting debate which was won
by the affirmative, resolved that
"women should be given the right
to vote. Good points were brought
out bv both sides and the meeting
was cn jo ved by all present.
