Miss Cobb Entertained. On last Friday evening from eh ht 'till eleven, all the young people of "Holly Hill" enjoyed the hospitali ty of Miss Sara Cobb, cards being the interesting feature. Each game was entered into with zest and en thusiasm that bespoke fullest pleas ure, Miss Flossie Lamb and Mr. fltobo Prescott making the highest score in a game of 1 Fan Tao." Delightful repast was served, ap propriate souvenirs were distributed. After listening to Miss Sara perform a numb r of beautiful selections on the pian??, all departed unanimous ia opinion that it was the most en joyable evening of the new year. A Guest. Pa .ker-Kernaghan. The anii'iuncement that Miss Sal lie Lucretia Parker and Mr. Leslie Solee Kern ighan were married Sun day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the home of th?* bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. \U Parker, was a great surprise, even io the most intimate friends of the^e popular young peo ple. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. R Walker, pastor of the Methodist church; Only the mem ~"o?Fs of the irani diate families were present. Soon after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Kernaghau left for Florida to .pend several weeks. The bride is a descendent of an old and honored Edgefield family, who iu addition to her personal charms is a very talented musician, having ':aken a postgraduate c.mrse in music. Mr. Kernaghan is one of Edgefield's leading young merchants. He came from Columbia six years ago to cast his lot among us, and early after bis coming he established himself per manently in the esteem and confi dence of the people. He is a progressive, public spirited citizen of sterling qualities. Upon the return of Mr. and Mrs. Kernaghan from their wedding jour ney they will occupy th^.- residence on Columbia street which Mr. Ker naghan recently purchase?!. Mrs. Banerjee in Edgefield. A great opportunity was afforded the people of Edgefield on Monday afternoon and night, when Mrs. Banerjee, a native of India, spoke at the Methodist church in the af ternoon, and the Baptist church in the evening. Mrs. Baenerje wa8 entertained in the home of Mrs. Mamie N. Till man, and at four o'clock in the Methodist church a large number of ladies of all the churches assembled to greet and listen to the address of Mrs. Banerjee. It was a very im pressive servioe, Mrs. B. E. Nichol son presiding. Mrs. J. L. M i ms introduced Mrs. Banerjee to the audience. The life of this Christian woman is an inspiration, and at the same time a rebuke, to every American woman for their lack of faith and appreciation of their unusual bless ing?. On Monday evening a large audi ence greeted Mrs. Ban er j es, who was introduced by Rev. J. R. Walker. At the close of the ser vice, afternoon and evening, a col lection was taken for the ?hi ld wid ows' home in Calcutta. So impressive wat the address of Mrs. Banerjee, that everything she told will long linger in the memory of those who heard her. Wednesday and Thursday nights. Go to prayer meeting one or both. J. R.

At the close the score showed that Mrs. J. W. DeVore was ontitled to the lady's first prize and Mr. C. A. Griflio the gentleman's prize. In stead of serving light refreshments, Mrs. Holstein threw open her dining room and served a charming tea in courses. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Holstein again proved herself to be a most gracious hostess, entertaining with bridge in honor of Mrs. Kate Tomp kins Aull of Columbia. The first prize was awarded to Miss Virginia Addison and the hostess presented the guest of honor with a beautiful token. Those who were honored with invitations have pronouuced tins the most charming social event of the season. The decorations in the parlor and dining room were exquisitely beaufiful, pink being the .dominant color. The guests were seated around the large dining table and delicious refreshments were served in three courses. The maids and young matrons who com posed the congenial company were loath to leave as nightfall came on. D. A. R. Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the D. A. R. was held on Monday afternoon, beginning at four o'clock, with Mrs. Fannie Tompkins. There were sixteen out of the nineteen members present, and sev eral visitors. Several matters of business were attended to, Mrs. Aga iba Woodson presiding, among them the decision to purchase a charter and to prepare a year book. The treasurer, Mrs. D. B. Hol lingsworth, made a very encourag ing report of her work. Regret was exprssed at the de parture of Miss Gladys Chappell, who is one of the active member of the chapter. Mrs. N. G. Evans read a commu nication from the LaFayette So ciety, asking aid for the needy French soldiers.

Miss Sarah Collett, took charge of the remaining programme. Miss Emily Tompkins played that beautiful instrumental solo, "Medi tation," and Miss Collett read a condensed history of Edgefield, pre pared at the request of the State historian to be read to the chapter. This was heartily cheered by the chapter, and highly complimented, containing many interesting facts in reference to Edgefield history. At the close of the programme Mrs. R. G. Shannonhouse sang that old time favorite, Ben Bolt, accom panied by Mrs. Tillman on the piano. The hostess ? served an abundant and delightful salad course with cof fee and whipped eream. Let us all meet in the union ser vice in Edgefield Baptist church next Sunday night at 8 o'clock. Rev. E. C. Bailey preaches. J. R. Walker. Henry was very proud of the new kittens, and fetched them to show to the visitors, said a woman at the Woman's City club.

(Continued from First Page.) were Opposed to its passage. NV> body thought the bill could pass at all; I did not think so, but bad de termined to make an effort. When the senate was thinned out to a bare twenty, or such a matter-at supper, etc.-I had the messenger from the house report the bill to the presid ing officer. Senator Burton, of Ohio, was in the raid?t of a speech when this was done. He suspended his talk long enough to have the clerk of the house to report it, and I had the brass-although I had never seen it done before-to ask Burton's permission for immediate consideration cf the bill. He de murred at first, but when I assured him if it led to any debate I would not insist, and the presiding officer told him that ho would not lose the floor, he gave bis consent for its consideration. The bill was read for the information of the senate, and the usual question asked: "is there objection to its immediate con sideration? The chair hears none." The house bill v.Tas read a third time and passed almost before those who are reading this have been able to grasp its meauicg. The senate bill was, of course, indefinitely post poned. I was surprised; everybody else was surprised; but the most de lighted and surprised man of the bunch was "Jimmie" Byrnes, who had been my principal lieutenant in this neat piece of legislative leger demain. I was worn out and tired and immediately went to my hotel to go to bed. THE DELEGATION MEETING, i To save ourselves from importu nities for the three good places, the South Carolina delegation, inelud-' ing Senator Smith, met in my com-j mittee room and, after talking the j matter over, decided the best thing I to do was to immediately telegraph [i the newspapers that night the names of the men the delegation had agreed on for the judge, district attorney and marshal. I was called ove? the telephone and told what they wanted to do and heartily approved of it. Next morning I signed thc endorse ment of Mr. Johnson, which was sent to the pr?sident. Since Senator Smith and I had the friendly fight, over the marshal and district attorney two years agov in which he won out, it has bien understood by all well-posted men in the state, and out of it, that if the western district was created I should have the niming of the dis trict attorney and Senator Smith the marshal, thus evsning us up. Mr. Thurmond has told me since , I reached home tiat he has already j selected as his first assistant, Cal- ( bonn Mays, his former law clerk at Edgetield. Henry Tillman's only connection with the matter is that he and Calhoun Mays are law part ners. I have not recommended my son to Mr. Thurmond, and two j years ago I advised him not to ac cept the assistant's place if it were offered him. I do not know whether J. Broadus Knight, my secretary and clerk to the senate committee on naval affairs, will get the district clerkship or 1 not, but I hope he will. He was Mr. Johnson's ?ecretary for five, years before he came to me, and they have always been very warm friends. Mr. Ktiight is an excep tionally capable man, and deserves that or any other good place that any one can give bim. He has been with me nine years, and I will hardly know how to get along with out him, but his hold on his present office depends on my life, and as my health is poor, I will not stand in the way of his getting this life job if it is offered bira. I have joined with the balance of the delegation in endorsing Mr. C. J. Lyon, of Abbeville, for the.mar shal's place. That is all there is to this "cock and bull story" about it being a "family affair." WHAT HE SAYS. Candor compels me to acknowl edge this: That, but for my im paired health, and the esteem in which I am held by my fellow sen ators, I could not have done what I did; and instead of South Carolin ians caviling and carping' they ought to b? glad that they have a man in Washington who can wiu the friend ship and respect of his colleagues of both political parties and wield an influence, notwithstanding his health is gone. Candor also compels me to ac knowledge that I do not believe there is any other man in the senate who could have done this thing un der the circumstances; and I am bold enough to say I am proud of the job, for it gives us a good Dem ocratic judge in the western district, who will bold for life, and it gives us the prospect of three new public buildings in this state-one at Greenwood, one ut Rock Hill, and one at Aiken.
