Mrs. Lyon Entertained. Thursday afternoon from four to .six o'clock Mrs. T. J. Lyon enter tained a number of friends with auction bridge in honor of her sis ter, Mrs. P. P. Burns of Birming ham. A dozen skilled players were seated about the three tables that had been arranged by the hostess, and as there was not a novice among rthem the gamej was exceedingly spirited. Miss Faunie Sheppard, a sister of the hostess, made th? high .est score, but she very graciously withdrew in favor of Miss Annie '. Bee who made the second highest j record, the first prize, a pair of silk hose, being awarded her. The con solation prize was borne away by | Mrs. E. H. Folk. Instead of serving refreshments in the usual manner, at the close of j the game the guests were invited into the spacious dining room and were sealed about the handsome mahogany table, which in addition to 9 large vase of beautiful red car nations, was adorned with a richly embroidered centre piece and mats of cluny lace. The red shades of the candelabras reflected a soft glow of lijrht that heightened the beauty of the enchanting scene. A three course tea was served by the hostess. It | was around the large mahogany .dining table, rather than about the three card tables, that the climax of the delightful occasion was reached. Mrs. Lyon's guests Thursday af ternoon were Mesdames J. G. Hol land, N. G. Evans, C. A. Griffin, J. D. Holstein, W. S. Oogburn, E. H. Folk, J. S. Byrd, J. H. Tomp .kins, P. P. Burns, Miss Annie Bee and Miss Fannie Sheppard. As the guests departed each one was presented with a red carnation as a souvenir of the occasion. Capt. Duncan Encouraged. Soon after the announcement was made that the Edgefield Rifles would be inspected on February 8,j Cifcpt. Duncan made a strenuous ef fort to enlist the active co-operation of the men who in the past have -composed the company, to the end that acreditadle inspection be held. Having failed to receive the sup port of a sufficient number to pass the inspection, Capt. Duncau de cided that it would be useless to make an effort io continue the com pany, and so announced at the last j meeting Thursday night. However, pursuant to the announcement made, ! lieut. Hunt came to Edgefield Mon-1 .day to hold the inspection. There, were not sufficient men available to f hold the regular inspection but a j considerable number were assembled in the armory and marched to the | public square, where they were in stiucted in squads under the direc tion of Lieut. Hunt. Both of these I officers, one representing the State | and the other the National, ffovern ment, seemed to be pleased with the nucleus that Capt. Duncan has for a company, and encouraged him -and the other officers in their ef forts to maintain a militia company in Edgefield. It is to be hoped that the young men will rally to the support of the -officers of the compan}7, who pub lish a card in this issue of The Ad vertiser. The business men and the citizens generally should also give them their moral support. Let's not have the Edgefield Rifles mus tered ont. . Ch kora and College For Women Consolidated. Columbia, S.

Sunday morning at 3:00. o'clock the useful life of Mrs. Annie Duri soe Day came to a close. Her leave taking was sudden and unexpected, hut for her, it was a merciful means. Why should one HO cheerful and gracious as she be called upon to pass through days or weeks of pain and suffering, and the anticipation of leaving so happy a home, and so noble and devoted a family, the idol of her husband and sons? She was greatly loved and possessed of a winsome manner, which drew new friends to her, and old ones closer. The immediate cause of her death was said to be apoplexy, and after the first attack she never re gained consciousness of the1 world about her. Mrs. Day spent her childhood and girlhood in Edgefield and vi cinity, the daughter and only child of the late D. R. Durisoe, for many years connected with The Edge field Advertiser. She was married to Mr. P. B. Day and living at Trenton in the earliest recollection of the writer, but from childhood the name of Annie Durisoe had been often lovingly spoken of by many friends who knew and loved her in Edgefield. Mrs. Day was a member of the Episcopal church of Trenton and ene of the most active members. Just a few weeks ago she was in Edgefield in order to aid in the ar rangement for a W. C. T. U. con vention at Trenton, and to visit again, and, as it transphed, for the last ?time, some of the friends of her youth and renew the associations of the past. She was one of the most interest ed and active temperance workers of pioneer days in Edgefield county, having been enthusiastically asso ciated with this work from the ear ly days, and at thc time of her death was leader of the Loyal Tem perance Legion of Trenton. Mrs. Day leaves her husband Mr. P. B. Dav and four sons, D. R. Day, J. F. Day, P. B. Day, Jr., and George Day, and friends all over our county who weep over their loss, but rejoice that such a genuine, and ?devoted soul was al lowed to spend her life in our midst. F. A. M.

Mr. Miller's Stock Farm. The agricultural page of Tues day's State contained the following notice: "J. W. Miller, merchant and planter of Plum Branch, is con ducting an expsriment in the breed ing of graded stock for dairy pur poses, success of which may lead to other ventures of the sort in the Savannah valley. Mr. Miller has put under fence a tract of 100 acres of pasture in the Savannah river bottoms, has bought a young registered Holstein bull and has carefully built up a heard of some 40 cows." Co. F. Has Come Again. The Adjutant General and Lieut. Hct, of the regular army, came over to inspect us on the 8th of February. We must have a compa ny, tbey say. The state government and the federal government are do ing their best for us. We are due them our loyalty and our energies to make a great company of the Edgefield Rifles. We are due it to ourselves as men who care something for iheir obligations and responsi bilities. We are due it to the town and county and we think that the citizens of this community and sec tion are due us their help and their enthusiasm. They must all help us push things; help us 1 whoop it up." The moral support of the men and women of Edgefield and the sur rounding country is absolutely nec essary to the re-organizing and maintaining of a good military com pany here. We have a chance now to try again. We will meet each Wednes day at our new armory-Adams Hall-at 7:30 p. m., and we will meet each Saturday at 4:30 p.m., until further.notice. Business men and others employ ing these young men are urged to assist us as much as possible by en couraging the men they have in their employ to attend the meetings. W. J. Duncan, W. A. Collett. W. C. Tompkins. I Feeding Cottonseed Meal and Hulls to Horses and Mules. We have already heard it stated that The Progressive Farmer has advised feeding horses and mules on cottonseed meal and hulls, the statement being made as if we ad vised using these feeds ooly. We have stated that idle horses and mules would get along on hulls and meal, and the best proof that, they will, is that considerable num bers are actually doing so; but we have not advised this method of feeding. We have also stated that where hay was scarce horses and mules might have from a third to a half of their roughage from hulls, but that is far different from advis ing that cotton-seed hulls be the only roughage. We have also stated that every horse and mule in the South now being fed as much as < two pounds of grain a day should receive two pounds of cottonseed meal because, feeding value con sidered, it is our cheapest concen trated feeding stuff at present prices. But this is a long way from advertising that working horses and mules should be required to woirk on cottonseed meal and hulls alone. No doubt horses and mules may in some cases get along on hulls and meal for a short period, even when given enough meal to enable them to do hard work; but the man who asks his work stock to get along on cottonseed meal and hulls alone when doing hard work is asking too much. Hulls and meal do not make a good ration for cattle for long feeding periods, and it is pretty certain they will prove less satisface tory for hard working horses.and mules. For work stock we have not ad vised the use of more than fonr or five pounds of hulls a day and two pounds of cottonseed meal. The bal ance of the ration should be made up of hay and corn, or some other grain. In fact, any man who buys hulls to feed horses and mules proves himself to that extent a poor farmer. They are nc t a good rough age for working horses and mules. The horse's stomach is small and he should be given better feed. Progressive Farmer. Not an Isolated Case.

Announcement of the death of Francis Piokens Bonham at his home in San Francisco, Cal., on Thursday morning:, was received by his relatives in Columbia yesterday. He was a brother of Miss Annie Bonham and Mrs. Gadsden E. Shand of this city and Gen. Milledge L. Bonham of Anderson. Other rela tives in Columbia are Mrs. Frank C. Tompkins, Mrs. David G. Elli son, Miss Roberta Aldrich and Geo E. Sparkman. Mr. Bonham was married five years ago to Miss Georgia Merton vof JSan Francisco, who with two sons, aged four and one year, respectivtly, survives him. The fu neral and interment will be held in San Francisco. Mr. Bonham wan a son of the late M. L. Bonham, war governor of South Carolina, and his wife, Anne Patience Bonham, being the young est of 24 children. He was born on his father's plantation near Edge field, March 13, 1873, but came to this city early in life when his fa ther moved his family here from Edgefield. Until reaching manhood Mr. Bonham resided in Columbia and many of his friends and former schoolmates remember him with pe culiar pleasure, as he was endowe 1 to a rare degree with the qualities that made him generally popular and endeared him to all who knew him well. After leaving Columbia he resided for a time in Savannah, Atlanta and other southern cities. When war with Spain was declared Mr. Bonham was prompt to volun teer his services and was a member of the First Georgia regiment. Later he served in the Philippines and after returning to the United States made his home in San Fran cisco, where he has since resided. The State. Twelve Things to do This Month. 1. Do not burn the cotton and corn stalks; plow them under. 2. Keep the plows running every sunny day; now is the time to turn under trash that it may rot and not be in the way of cultivation. 3. Give the garden a liberal fer tilization and get the earlier vege tables started. 4. Write your representatives in the legislature-tonight-about the legislation for.farmers so repeatedly urged in The Progressive Farmer. ?St.- Let your United States senators .and representatives hear from you tftrtrtrt our need tor a rural credits law. 6. Co-operate with a few of your neighbors and buy your fertilizers in car lots. I. Roll the stored cotton out and look it over carefully to see wheth er it is entirely dry and not rotting. 8. Give the farm implements and harness a thorough going over, to see that everything is ship-shape for the spring rush. 9. In plowing the rolling fields don't forget to keep the broad ter races plowed up to the proper height and width. 10. Open all half-filled ditches and drains, that the water may keep moving and that the fields may dry out for ?pring plowing. II. Keep after the stumps, weeds and briars that make too many of onr fields look slovenly and un businesslike. 12. Keep the road drag going that the spring hauling may be made easier.-Progressive Farmer. --?-.?.. Trespass Notice.

T. Ouzts, dec'd. Feb. o, 1915-3t. When a Farmer is Governor. Of sixteen governors of Sooth Carolina sinse 1876, five have been lawyers. They have not been wholly dependent for legal advice on an attorney general's office. Eleven governors, besides the in cumbent, have been farmers or bu siness men. When the governor is not a lawyer, and one of considera ble attainments, he is daily, some ! times hourly, in need of advice from the attorney general's office. In some cf the States a legal ad viser, not connected with the attor ney general's offics is provided for the governor. Governor Manning's chief pri vate interest is farming, though he is also a banker. Most of his ex perience has been that of a farmer. He is certainly not a lawyer. The State will not now discuss; the question that has arisen be tween the offices of the executive and the attorney general, but we direct attention to the fact that the people have elected a farmer aud business man, not a lawyer, as their governor. Whether theyhave given him fa cilities for obtaining the legal as sistance required for the adminis tration of his office, they may judge for themselves. Every farmer in South Carolina can imagine what his feelings would be were he compelled to de pend for advice on lawyers whom he believed to be unfriendly to his interest, whether or not that belief were well founded-The Stale.

And there is no good reason why st should not pa?s. Why should not the voters be given an opportunity of saying whether they want a state wide law or not? If they want it, they have a right to it, and if they don't want it, they will say Bo and that will be an end of the matter. But there will be no end to the pro-, hibition agitation until the people have had a fair trial of state-wide prohibition. Ever since 1892 there has been a strong prohibition sentiment in the stale. In that year a special box was provided at the polls in the Democratic primary, and the prohi bitionists carried the state by 10, 000 majority, but when the prohi bition bill was introduced that fall in the legislature, Governor Till man, who was dominating that body, ' had it enact the infamous dispensa ry law, which made conditions far worse than they had been. South Carolina has tried the bar room system, the dispensary and local option- indeed, about every thing else but state-wide prohibi tion. Now that Tennessee, Virgin ia, West Virginia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Georgia and Ala bama, all have a state-wide law, why should not South Carolina make the venture? We say pass the law and make no exceptions as to Char leston or any other locality. There is no good reason why Charleston should not take her medicine just- % like Columbia, Beaufort, George town and other places. It comes with ill grace any wav ,for Charles ton to be asking in one breath to be allowed to have-her own way and in the nsxt breath making the threat that a state-wide law 'can never be enforced in that city.
