Besides these popular fictions, a
set of splendid books-The Library
of Entertainment, in twelve volumes
has been added also. In these books
.the able editors have attempted to
?distinguish the chaff from the wheat,
ihe weeds from the harvest in the
writings of those authors who have
achieved such fame and standing as
to be above the commonplace pen
men. They have succeeded most ad
mirably, and their works present a
'boundless source /of entertainment
and an infinite field for intelligent
diversion and development. Charming
-biographical sketches and water color |
paintings\ of the homes and favorite
haunts of the authors give Additional
understanding and pleasure. One
merely has to turn down the pages
without a thought of trying to choose
the treasures from the literary hodge
podge. The best of all the ages has
been arranged at last. Odysseus, who
for the last three thousand years, as
. Sir Philip Sidney has put it, "held
children from play and old men from
the chimney corner;" Falstaff, chuck
ling at the comical ease with which
he hoodwinks all about him; Lady
Macbeth, who, even in her dreams,
may not forget the dread stain upon
her little hand; Faust, ever seeking
to rid himself of . his demon accom
plice; the knights of King Arthur's
around table; Robin Hood and his
merry men; Dickens' troop of immor
tal grotesques; Bret Harte's rough
miners, with their hearts of gold;
Irving's droll New Yorkers of the
."Knickerbocker era; Longfellow's
blacksmith and his Evangeline.
"These and a host of other undying
.notables make life far richer for us
all, and ours is the fault if we do not 11
avail ourselves of their magic. The
Edgefield Library will furnish the
jpopular fiction which, as "best sell-ll
?rs," are important for their little
Jhour, but it wishes to do something!]
more than that and the new set of I
.tbooks, with their rich literary treas
ures, are but a beginning of the
werks to be gathered for Edgefield
readers. It is earnestly hoped that
.parents and teachers will cooperate
?with the library in encouraging the
jyoung readers to take advantage of
?these splendid books, also Nelsons
Loose Leaf Encyclopedia, which is
..generally acceded to be the most com
plete encyclopedia known.
Civic League Makes Appeals.
At the last meeting of the Civic
League, among the worthy measures
decided upon were two appeals: one
ss in behalf of the Edgefield ceme
teries, which are now in good order,
due to the untiring efforts of the
League workers. Sandwiches are sold
?t the school twice a week for funds
to carry on this work and, as ladies
who are not League members have
eignified their willingness to contrib
the sandwiches for this cause, it was
?decided to give the opportunity to
others too, for perhaps there are
many who would like to help with a
cause so dear to all hearts.
Mrs. J. G. Edwards, president, or
Miss Ethel DeLoach, chairman of the
"emetery committee, will gladly re
ceive arny communication concerning
his appeal.
The second appeal is in behalf of
he school children. The League
vants to install a sanitary drinking
fountain on the school grounds, a con
venience that is absolutely essential
L.o the health of the school children,
"his money is to be raised by the
.ale of sandwiches also, which is an
deal lunch for hungry youngsters as
3 proven by their eager purchases
always. Anyone who desires to fur
bish a few sandwiches for this fund
.viii please notify Mrs. P. M. Fel
tham. Similar fountains ar^ installed
n all schools where there is running
water and now that Edgefield has an
abundant supply of good water, it j
is only right that our children's |
health should be protected by a san
itary fountain.

Death of Miss Ina Hill.
.Several months ago, Miss Ina Hill
who had lived for a number of years
in Edgefield and all her life in the
community, went to Belvedere near
North Augusta to make her home
with her niece, Mrs. Osmond Wil
liams. Mrs. Maggie Hill was also re
siding there which made a congenial
family group. Miss Hill had resided
in Columbia a few months during
l^st year, but desired to return to
her friends and relatives in Edgefield.
At about 9:30 on Monday night
Mr. Roger Hill, her nephew, who
was at Belvedere, phoned to Edge
field that Miss Hill had passed away,
having fallen a victim of pneumonia,
and on Wednesday her body was
brought to Edgefield, the funeral tak
ing place from the Baptist church of
which she was a member, Rev. G. W
M. Taylor, pastor "of the Methodist
church conducting the service, Dr
R. G. Lee, her pastor being out of
town.
The music was furnished by the
local D. A. R. of which she was a
member and this organigation follow
ed in a body to the grave. Beautiful
floral designs were laid on her casket
from many friends and organiza
tions.
Miss Hill was greatly beloved in
Edgefield, was a kind friend and in
teresting in conversation, always
tiaving congenial companionship in
1er old age and hours of loneliness.

Dr. R. G. Lee's Resignation.
To the Members of the First Baptist
'Church of Edgefield, Edgefield
South Carolina:
Dearly Beloved:
With courage to do the right as
God gives me to see the right, I here
by offer my resignation as pastor of
the church, the same to take effect
the first Sunday in April, that Sunday
included.
With grateful acknowledgment of
every personal courtesy and kindness,
with deep gratitude for the response
made to the pastor's leadership, with
humble petition that any mistake I
have made may not hurt the heart
of friend or cause hindrance to'the
work of my Lord's Kingdom, with
humble .praise to God for all that has
been done during my pastorate for
His Kingdom through His people,
with abiding love for all who have
heard my voice or attended worship
here, with everlasting joy that God
has given me the privilege of coming
this way and of serving as your pas
tor, with earnest prayer for His
blessings upon every home and heart
and life, with anxious yearning that
the church with unfaltering faith in
God and His leadership and with un
swerving devotion to duty go forward
to greater and grander things, would
I ask you to let me depart.
Moreover, I beg that you let roe
have a voice in the selection of a suc
cessor; that you pray for me as I
go to another corner of His wide har
vest field ; that you bid me God-speed
as I gird on .my armor to fi^ht His
battles in another section of His far
flung battle line!
And until we meet at His throne,
may His grace sustain and keep you
one and all-and all in all.

Dr. Robert G. Lee to Preach at !
University.
Dr. Robert G. Lee, pastor of the ,
First Baptist church at Edgefield, ar
rives in Columbia next Tuesday to
conduct a three day revival at the
University of South Carolina, the
services being held under the aus- 1
pices of the university Young Men's 1
Christian Association. 1
The revival services will open with '
a short address by Dr. Lee in the uni- '
versify chapel at 10:30 o'clock Wed
nesday morning. These short address- ?
es at the regular morning chapel ser- i
vices will be repeated Thursday and. 1
Friday to supplement the three night 11
services which will be held in the 1
university chapel at 7 o'clock Wed- <
nesday, Thursday and Friday. The i
public is invited to attend both the i
morning and evening services. The 1
Columbia 'Seminary quartet which i
proved of such valuable and enter- i
taining assistance in the recent re- 1
vival at Clemson college, will furnish
the music for the services. \
Dr. Lee is a graduate of Furman j
university continuing his studies at \
Tulane university and at the Univer- {
sity of Chicago. Dr. Lee holds the i
degree of doctor of philosophy from
the University of Chicago. 2
Although a comparatively young i
man, Dr. Lee is one of the leading j
Baptist ministers in the state, a (
forceful pulpit orator and a careful ?
student of the Bible. The Rev. Wil- t
liam Roy Davis, pastor of Cameron (
Baptist church, whom Dr. Lee aided
in the conducting of a revival service (
last year says of him : "As a preacher ,
he is equal of the best. I have heard j
some of the leading preachers of this <
country and Europe and I can unhesi
tatingly say that in the presentation
of the Gospel message in a way that j
appeals to men he is their equal. He .
is not a "as dry as dust" preacher;
neither is he a sensationalist, but
i
is a happy medium between the two. .
His preaching is of the kind that
produces results. And with it all he .
possesses a charming personality." J
Dr. Lee has recently been called to
the pastorate of the First Baptist }
church at Chester and has accepted
the call.
Special prayer meetings are being '
held at the university every night at !
10 o'clock in the various dormitories
in preparation for the coming ser- i
vices and a meeting of 1 select com- ,
mittee of the leading Y. M. C. A.
workers on the campus will be held
Monday night at Flinn Hall to make
final preparations for the opening of '
the revival services.-The State.

REMEMBER THE STOF
Signora DeFabritiis Popular in
Augusta.
Mrs. Willis C. Holt, editor of the
Woman's Page of the Augusta Chron
icle, in an editorial in the Sunday
paper, headed "Music Column Ap
preciated by Club Women," has the
following to say of Signora DeFabri
tiis:
. "The editor can not refrain from
igain calling attention to the beauti
ful articles by Signora DeFabritiis,
ivhich appear on the club page each
week. It is very gratifying also, to
leam from the expressions of appro
bation, which have been received that
nusic lovers from the towns and com
nunities in the district are enjoying
:hese ai*ticles as much as the people
n Augusta, and are deriving- much
nformation and inspiration from
;hem.
"The article today contains an un
usual feast of good things, not only
.for people who love music, but for
;hose who appreciate reading the
ihings which inspire them to higher
deals and achievements.
"Signora DeFabritiis' influence is
ilready being felt to a marked degree
n the musical life in Augusta, and it
s the hope of the editor that many
)f the dubs in the Tenth District will
ivail themselves of the opportunity
;o hear her in concert, or lecture re
ntal, in the near future."
The following is a quotation from
>ne of Signora's comments on the
ieath of a recent musical critic in
tfew York, whose criticism she said,
'never left a sting."
"Unfortunately to most people,
:he verh "to criticize" means "to find
fault with," "to disparage" the ef
forts of others, to tear down the tis
sue built by so much painstaking (if
not properly directed) work. They
forget, that every effort of man to
achieve an ideal, no matter how far
short he falls of the mark, is some
thing that makes stronger the mental,
moral and spiritual fiber of that man,
md that whatever the imperfections
surrounding the work, it must be
judged, not Dy comparison with what
some other .more gifted person may
have accomplished in the same'given
line, but in the light of his own per
sonal equipment and use of it."

Taxpaying Time Extended to
the First of May.
Governor Cooper yesterday morn
ing signed the joint resolution post
poning the time for the payment of
state and county taxes until May 1,
with the penalties of 1 per cent for
January, 2 per cent for February, 3
per cent for March and 3 per cent for
April. From May 1 to May 15 the
penalty will be 7 per cent, and after
May 15 executions go into the hands
of the sheriff.
The resolution as signed by the
governor was introduced the firS)t
week of the session and was passed
by both houses and the free confer
ence report adopted. With the signa
ture of the chief executive on the
resolution it becomes a law and tax
payers may wait until May 1 to pay
their taxes and will only have to pay
an interest or penalty of 3 per cent
as a total, as the resolution provides
that the penalties shall not be com
pounded.
Strong pressure was brought to
bear on the governor not to sign the
resolution, but he was informed that
in case he vetoed it the general as
sembly would override his action. The
resolution will mean that thousands
of dollars of taxes will be held up
until the last days of April and may
mean embarrassment of school and
other county functions. As an exam
ple of how much money on the 1920
taxes is still due it was said yesterday
that in Richland county alone fully
$275,000 of taxes has not yet been
paid.-The State.
