Should Reelect Mr. Lever.
As The Advertiser has repeated
ly stated, Hon. A. F. Lever has made
one of the most useful Congressmen
that South Carolina has had in a
long time. The letters of President
Wilson, urging him to remain in Con
gress are a very strong endorsement
of his xeal worth, and his decision
to withdraw from the senatorial race
-in obedience to the wishes of the
President has caused very tgeneral
satisfaction. Mr. Lever is needed in
this crisis where he is now serving
and the people of his district should
rise en masse and re-elect him.
The War Savings Stamps.
The <lrive is on for the sale of War
Savings Stamps. Just what the record
will be for Edgefield county at the
close depends upon every man, wo
man and child in the county. Prob
ably many persons of limited means
felt relieved from purchasing Liber
ty Bonds, owing to the large amount
of the bonds, but nobody will be ex
cused from taking part in the Stamp
drive for any such reason. The small
amount involved in the purchase of
War Savings Stamps places them
within reach of everybody. Will you
be patriotic and purchase stamps to
the extent of your means or will you
be a slacker by failing to do your
duty? Every individual must answer
for himself.

Mildew on Roses.
"What spray shall I use to pre
vent mildew on roses?"
You can get the dry Bordeaux
mixture in small packages now, and '
this is effective, but it makes the
bushes rather unsightly with the .
blue color all over. Formaldehyde ?
mixed at the rate cf 1 pint in 25 I
gallons of water is also good and
makes no blemish on tbe bushes. I
have also used a preparation called
"Fungine," which cornt-s in quart
ians, and is heavily diluted with wa
ler. But any of these must be used (
befure there is any appearance of 1
mildew. We must prevent rather ,
than try to cure plant diseases.- 1

once to the University Hospital, j

for him, but without avail.
His death is a distinct shock to his
devoted family and friends. He was (
a man who counted a wide circle of
friends, who will learn of his demise
with deepest surprise and sorrow. De

C., but has resided in Augusta for the
past fifteen years. The funeral will
be held from Sweetwater Baptist

ance of $14.00 from a total of $139.
A box of 23 books, with three sub
scriptions to magazines from indivi
duals is ready to be sent on to the
Tubercular ward at Camp Jackson.
The club next year will study "The
Music of the Allies," and the year
books will be .written. It was voted
to meet only .once a month that mem
bers might be at the Red Cross rooms
even more. Miss Clara Sawyer was
appointed a committee of one to re
cord all war activities of members
during the summer months. The
names of Miss Hallie White and Mrs.
Boyd were added to the roll. Miss
Emma Bouknight was elected record
ing secretary to take the place of
Miss Anna Harmes. Many letters for
club welfare were read and action
taken. Following all business, the re
tiring president, Mrs. Mobley, thank
ed the members for their hearty co
operation and loyalty, and in taking
up the work, Miss Payne asked the
same co-operation of the members
for this only is the key to success.
She appointed the following commit
tees for the next year: Year book,
Miss Bouknight, Miss Hallie White,
Mrs. J. W. Marsh; entertainment,
Mrs. E. 0. Crouch, Miss Clara Saw
yer, Miss Heyward, Mrs. T. K. Hoyt,
Mrs. C. P. Corn; flower committee,
Mrs. L. S. Maxwell, Mrs. W. J. Hatch
er, Mrs. James Strother; relief work,
Mrs. J. H. White, Mrs. J. D. Walker,
Mrs. F. M. Boyd.
A splendid program was had, the
subject being, "Indian Songs," and
most instructive papers, vocal and
piano music and victrola music were
given, all of it being Indian music.
Later the hostess served salads, sand
wiches and iced tea.
The New Century Club met Tues
day with Mrs. F. M. Boyd, Mrs. H. D.
Grant presiding. The year's work was
concluded and the club felt compli
mented that it was told by the State
president that it had done everything
asked of it during the year. Much
pleasure has been derived from the
study course, "Southern Literature."
During the year the treasury held
$89.50 and after all gifts and ex
penses, had a balance of $14.50. The
chief gift was to Red Cross work.
Miss Eva Rushton reported having
sent a box of scrap books made by
the club members to the Base Hospi
tal, Camp Jackson, and a box of
books is to go from the club to the
tubercular ward at that camp, Mrs.
P. B. Wates having canvassed for
them. -
Several communications were read
concerning club welfare, and Mrs.
P. N. Lott was appointed to record
war activities of members during the
summer. Officers were then elected, ?
some of them not being eligible for .
re-election, having served the two
years of office. President, Mrs. W. E. '
LaGrone; vice president, Miss Eva
Rushton; recording secretary, Miss
Clara Sawyer; corresponding secre- j
tary, Mrs. P. N. Lott; treasurer, Mrs. |

ternoon so a social while was spent
and all enjoyed ices and cake served I
by Mesdames J. A. Lott and J. W. 1
