By supplying the most appropriate
title to the Augusta Chronicle's pic
ture last week, "A Plan on Foot to
Relieve the Fuel Shortage," Mr.
Frank Huggins won first prize, five
dollars in cash. The fact that he has
won a number of prizes in similar
contests recently is not due to luck
or a stroke of good fortune but rath
er to his talent. Mr. Huggins possess
es unusual talent.

advantages Ford owners have in be

ternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Walker-is
an able preacher and most convinc
ing in his presentation of the Gospel
truth. He has for all who hear him a
helpful message.
Republican Fleas Biting.
There is a trite and homely say
ing which runs something like this,
"If you lie down with dogs, you'll get
fleas on you." Wiley Ouzts and Alex.
Watson, along with Milton Strother j
and Scott Stevens, attended the
"white, black and tan" convention
in Columbia and got some Tolbert
fleas on 'em, and judging from the
way they are squirming to clear their
skirts, the fleas are bitin' vigorous
ly. But, speaking of fleas, hereafter
Edgefield people will class these two
disloyal Democrats along with the
Irishman's flea.
Don't Fail to Register.
Monday next, the first Monday in
October, will be the last opportunity
to register for the general election
which will be held on Tuesday, No
vember 7. Those who fail to thus
qualify themselves for voting will
fail to do their duty. This year more
than ever the call to our people
comes strong and loud. Do not fail
to heed it. If the Republican admin
istration in Washington should un
dertake to reduce our representation
in congress or attempt some other
harmful legislation because of our
failure to vote we will have nobody
to blame but ourselves. There is
much at stake. Register and vote.
Two Strong Teams.
Friday afternoon a spirited game
of foot ball was played between the
teams of the Edgefield High School
and the Ninety Six High School. As
the teams were evenly matched the
game proved to be interesting from
the start. Although the contending
forces played with ironlike endur
ance and determination, not a score
was made by either side. The Edge
field boys are a splendid set and our
people should support them loyally.
Another game will be played Friday
afternoon between the Edgefield and
Johnston teams. A large number
should turn out to witness the game.
That was asplendid body of young
people that came down from Ninety
Six Friday. We hope to have them
visit Edgefield again.
Had Passed Age Limit.
Along with him, the friends of Mr.
T. T. McManus regret that he had to
give up his work as city mail car
rier on account of the age limit fixed
in the postal regulations. The regu
lations require that a city mail car
rier and his substitute likewise shall
be between the ages of 18 and 45
years. Mr. J. G. Holland, th? post
master, would have been glad to con
tinue Mr. McManus in the service
but was forced under the regulations
to make a change. He has appointed
Mr. D. P. Morgan, who has served
as assistant postmaster.since his hon
orable discharge from naval service,
as city carrier. Mr. Morgan is already
familiar with the duties and will ren
der satisfactory service from the out- J
set. The appointment of Mr. Morgan J ?
by Mr^olland is being very general
ly coniroended.' '

Gov. Harvey Reconciles Differ
ences Between Edgefield
Men.
Governor Harvey has proven that
he is on the alert to serve the people
in every posible way, and having
been informed that an unfortunate
situation existed in Edgefield because
of the very strained relations be
tween the sheriff and supervisor, an
indictment and a counter indictment
having been made, he requested these
two men to come to his office for a
conference over the matter, looking
to an adjustment. Of course, both of
these officials reported to him as re
quested and after reasoning with Mr.
Swearingen and Mr. Edmunds a com
mon ground was reached, through
the chief executive's good offices as
P'sace-makfr, and the following state
ment, dictated by Governor Harvey,
was signed by Mr. Swearingen and
Mr. Edmunds, which now, henceforth
and forever buries the hatchet. Gov
ernor Harvey and both of these men
are to be commended for this ami
cable adjustment of an acute and un
fortunate situation. It has caused
very general rejoicing over the coun
ty.
Anna Quiller, the "bone of con
tention" or original cause of the
trouble, was transferred to the peni
tentiary some weeks ago, so she is
out of the way and serving her sen
tence in Columbia. The following is
the signed statement which is digni
fied by being witnessed by the high
est officials in the commonwealth,
the governor and secretary of state:
Columbia, S. C.
September 14, 1922
Whereas, the difference of opinion
o?j&r. W. R. Swearingen and Mr. A.
A. Edmunds arose# a few weks ago
and as a result blows and words were
exchanged beween the parties, and
whereas, Mr. Edmunds later armed
himself and returned to the scene of
the difficulty, but surrendered said
arms at the solicitation of friends
and officials and returned to his home.
And whereas mutual friends effect
ed an agreement that the parties
would allow the differences to remain
for friends to adjust, but later in the
diay, Mr. Swearingen appeared! to
r?sume the difficulty and this has
brought about greater intensity of
feeling and resulted in legal steps
being taken by both sides, ali of
which is prejudicial to the best in
terests of the individu?is concerned
their families, their friends and the
welfare of the state. Therefore, it
has been mutually and jointly
agreed by and between the above par
ties simultaneously and jointly to ex
press regret to each other, to the
community, to all parties and inter
ests involved for whatever participa
tion they may have had in the said
difference and it is further agreed
that all legal or other procedures
now pending will be immediately
withdrawn and not resumed.
This agreement is made in honor
and in good faith by and between
the two contending parties as men,
Masons and as patriotic citizens.
