LOCAL AND PERSONAL.
Mr. and Mrs. Julius M. Vann of
Trenton were among the visitors in
Edgefield Tuesday.
These crisp mornings make one
feel that the sausage and spare-rib
aeson will soon open.
Hon. and Mrs. Walter McDonald
* of Augusta spent Sunday in Edgefield
with Mrs. Agatha A. Woodson.
Mrs. T. B. Culbreath, Misses Lu
cile and Annie Mae Culbreath, were
among visitors in Edgefield Monday
Tell your friends about the raising
of the County Service Flag at Edge
field Friday afternoon, November 15.
Julian D. Holstein, Jr., came down
from Camp Sevier on a furlough of
l?verai days, being very cordially
greeted by his friends.
A* trio of pretty Meeting Street
girls, Miss Mary Lewis and Misses
Emma and Margaret Blocker, were
visitors in Edgefield yesterday.
The many friends of Mr. Ben Ru
benstein will be pleased to know he
is able to be up after an attack of in
fluenza at his home in Augusta.
The influenza has kept people so
close at home that the newspapers
liave little to chronicle by way of
the coming and going of people.
Grain sowing goes merrily on in
every section of the county. We have
observed more seed oats shipped to
Edgefield this fall than probably ever
before.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Cogburn have
two sons in the service. Horace ar
rived safely Overseas a short time
ago and Paul sailed from an Atlantic
port last week.
People did not have to vote early
to avoid the rush at the polls yester
day. Our people are entirely too in
different in the matter of voting in
the general election.
Mr. Willie Salter of Columbia vis
ited the home folk last Sunday. He
is just up from an attack of influen
za. His many friends are delighted
that he has recuperated.
The Advertiser household had mus
tard salad, tomatoes, butter-beans,
new-crop Irish potatoes and lettuce
from our fall garden yesterday. But
our hens never lay an egg. 1
Three Edgefield boys who volun
teered for Naval service, Albert
Cheatham, George Broadwater and
Roy Ryan, are up from Charleston
on a furlough of a few days.
Will you be satisfied to do just a
bit for our boys at the front when
you are approached for a contribu
tion to the United War Work Fund?
DO YOUR BEST, not your bit.
J. T. McManus, Jr., who is at home
.n a furlough, entertained his friend^
last week with an ever-interesting
hallowe'en party which was greatly
?njoyed by all the young people.
Corporals Cephas Posey Derrick,
George C. Craig and Private Law
rence Lott of Camp Jackson spent
last week-end with friends and rela
tives in the Philippi community.
After the harvesting season closes
it is a mighty good time to have some
deep fall plowing done. Just how
much should, be done depends upon
the character of the land one culti
vates.
Since cotton dropped so low, the
sale has practically stopped, which is
as it should be. The public square
has been almost as free of cotton the
past few days as it is during the
month of August.
The many friends of Mrs. T. A.
Hightower will be glad to learn that
she is now steadily improving at the
Steedly hospital in Spartanburg. It
is hoped that she will soon be suffi
ciently strong to return home.
The heavy rush of ginning is prac
tically over in this neck of the woods.
Instead of running until the small
hours of the night, the gins are idle
much of the time. Watch for a heavy
falling off of the gin figures in the
next report.
The corn crop has been very fine
throughout Edgefield county this
year. You hear a greater number of
farmers than usual say, "I have
made enough corn to do me." Quite
a number say they will have corn to
sell.
While nearly evat* htf?e ia Edge
field has been visited by influenae,
we should all devoutly give thanks
that there were but few cases of se
rious illness. Edgefield has been pe
culiarly blessed daring the influenza
scourge.
There are more eetton seed on the'
farms of Edgefield county HOW than
there has been for twenty years dur
ing November. The price-fixing has
almost stopped tho sale. However, be
fore planting time most of them will
find their way to market.
Mrs. Manly Timmons, Manly Sim
mons, Jr., and little Jeanette Tim
mons have gone to Winterseat to
spend several weeks. It is probable
that Dr. Manly Timmons will return
with them and locate permanently in
Edgefield.
Send The Advertiser the letter*
you receive from our soldier boys.
The relatives and friends bf the boys
in all parts of the county enjoy read
ing them. The Advertiser cheerfully
gives space to them-will devote a
page every week if necessary.
Probably the most inspiring e&ea
sion ever held in Edgefield will be the
raising of the County Service Flag
on the public square the afternoon of
November 15. The flag will contain a
star for every Edgefield county boy
in the naval and military servie*.
In the list of Liberty Bond sub
scribers through the Farmers bank,
as published in The Advertiser, the
following: names were inadvertently
omitted: Mr. M. B. Byrd, $500; Mr.
L. H. Hamilton, $500, and Mr. F. P.
Walker, $200, A. Daitch $200, and
C. M. Williams, $100.
Mrs. D. T. Mathis, Jr., carno home
from her school at Pacolet^and spent
several days with her father and
sisters at Ropers. Miss Emmie Lan
ham went up to Pacolet to nurse Mrs.
Mathis who had a case of influenza.
She has sufficiently improved to re
turn to her school this week.
The autumn vacation, due to the
closing of the school to head-off the
influenza, has enabled many children
to aid in harvesting the cotton crop.
The Advertiser children have packed
about a bale and put their money
every week-end in thrift and war
savings stamps. The children are ap
prehensive lest there be no more
thrift stamps after the war:
Carroll Rainsford, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas H. Rainsford, who
has been attending the Citadel has
volunteered for military service and
will the latter part of November be
sent by the local board to the infan
try officers' training school at Camp
Fremont, California. Carroll is only
18 years of age, and his acceptance
for the officers' training school by
the Provost Marshal General is a de
cided compliment to him. He has
made an excellent record at the
Citadel.
About Croup.
If your children are subject to
croup, or if you have reason to fear
their being attacked by that disease,
you should procure a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and study
the directions for use, so that in case
of an attack you will know exactly
what course to pursue. This is a fav
orite and very successful remedy for
croup, and it is important that you
observe the directions carefully. -

Mrs. Joseph Sprott, President,
South Carolina W. C. T.
Edgefield, S. G.
Dear Madam:
Find enclosed herewith staten
of the Government's need for
thousand stenographers for work
Washington. It is our wish to see
the cooperation of the South Ci
lina W. C. T. U. in advertising i
and other needs of the Governm
for women workers and any mail
list which you may be in a posit
to furnish us will be appreciated,
j Assuring you of our appr?ci?t
of any assistance you may render,
suggestions you may offer,
Very truly yours,
H. L. Tilghman,
Federal Directe
. I
Stenography bas become so 'mp
tant a war industry, that a nati
wide drive for 5,000 stenograph
ano" typists is under way by the U.
Employment Service. Every posai
agency has been asked to eoopar
to furnish tho desired quota.
Well known manufacturers, indi
ing the Remington, Underwood, L.
Smith, Oliver and Royal typewri
firms have placed the facilities
their offices at the disposal of the E
ployment Service, and hav* not o:
offered the use of their machin
but will supply examining clerks
well. A civil service examiner will
present at each examination held i
der the auspices of the various co
panies designated.
Many of the foremost colleges J
offering secretarial courses, which
elude stenography and typewritii
Stenographers are expected
qualify for one of the three class
1. College graduates and worn
of wide business experience. Salari
$1,320.00 and up.
2. General Stenographers-sala
$1,200 and up.
3. Typists and' stenographers
limited experieuce-salary $1,1
and up.
The various departments in Wa;
ington in need of stenographers a
typists will send in each week t
number desired and the U. S. E
ployment Service will pro-rai>e t
assignments according tc thc ne
of each department and the supj
which the Employment Service h
on hand.
Women who make the Civil Servi
examinations at the suggestion of t
U. S. Employment Service, are pla
ed in departments where civil se
vice is required. There are, howevc
eighteen departments of the Gover
ment outside of civil service, and f
those desiring work in these depai
ments, it will be necessary to me
the qualifications outlined by the 1
S. Employment Service.
Washington offers many attractioi
to women engaged in war work. Tl
Government has appropriated $10
000.00 to house employees who ai
serving at the National Capital.
Early in the year, the first of
series of residence halls for wome
will be completed. The initial res
dence hall is being erected opposit
the Union Station, and will afford
home for 2,000 women. It will b
operated on the plan of an apartmeii
hotel. Each bedroom will have rur,
ning water, arid a commodious cloj
et. The furnishings, while not prc
tentious, will be attractive and i]
keeping with the latest ideas of in
terior decoration. In the meantim
many private residences are being ta
ken over by the Government to aff
ord homes for women.
Probably no war capital in tb
world has so many agencies enlistee
to provide interesting forms of rec
reation for girls doing Governmen'
work. The activities provided an
practically the same as those founc
in the leading Women's Colleges ir
the country. The Community Cen
ters of the Washington Public
Schools hold dances in the centrally
(located school houses nightly for the
entertainment of the girls and men
in the service. In one of the large
schools equipped with a big natato
rium, swimming classes are held for
girls every night at 7:00 o'clock fol
lowed by a dance to which are invit
ed soldiers and sailors stationed in
Washington or passing through the
city.
The outdoor sports include archery,
horseback riding, golf, tennis, boat
ing, trap-shooting, and aquatic meets.
Some of the girls form military
companies and drill several after
noons a week back of the. White
House, in order to keep themselves
physically fit. They are instructed by
regular army officers and non-coms.
In addition to the athletic and so
cial activities, there are free lectures,
SPORTING GOODS
The season is now upon us when sporting goods ap
peal to our people, ? At this time of the year, after the
harvest is practically over, men who are sportively in
clined give some time to recreation, and very properly
so. We want them to know that we can supply every
wish. If we haven't got what you want we will get it
on short notice.
In guns we have a large assortment of Parker lw-16
and 20 gauge, L. C. Smith and Ithica guns. Come in
to see them.
We also have a large stock of Legging, Hunting Coats
and Gun Cases. We have a complete stock of Bicycles,
Bicycle Tires,, Automobile Tires and Tubes, Hand Horns
and Electric Horns, Weed chains and Red-O-Skid chains.
Make your wishes known to us. We can supply them
with dependable goods at reasonable prices.

A France-Land Lullaby.
Sleep, thou little child of sorrows,
War's harsh din fright not thine ear;
Sleep, and dream of happier morrows,
Rest thine heart and feel no fear.
Bends thy mother's angel 'bove thee,
Leans thy father's spirit near;
France, thy Mother-Land, will love
thee,
She'll defend thee, baby dear.
Sorrow's child, did f oemen wrest thee
From the breast, serene and sweet,
Where a mother's love would nest
thee;
O'er a heart which for thee beat?
Sleep, thy Mother France will hold
thee;
Sleep, for other loving arms
Shall with tenderness enfold thee;
Shield thee safe from war's alarms.
Now the sun sinks to its setting;
Shadows slant across the sky.
Dream, sweet child, in sleep forget
ting
War's grim specter. Lullaby!
Rises o'er thy birth-land stricken
Hope's clear, shining star of light.
Sleep, no shadows 'round thee
thicken ;
Wake to day-dawn, blest and bright.
