Judge DeVore Indulgent Judge DeVore is not only an ex cellent lawyer and dispenser of jus tice, buta kindhearted, unselfish gentleman. While he had to "sweat'* it out in his official judicial robe while court was in session, he gave the jurors and newspaper reporters the privilege of laying aside their coats and make themselves as com fortable as they could when the heat in the court hon-c was almost unendurable. It is needless to say that the recipients of Judge De' Vore's consideration appreciated it and availed themselves of it with alacrity.-Orangeburg Press and Demoorat. .'Follow Thou Me." Rev. P. P. Blaiock filled tbe pul pit of the Baptist church Sunday morning last, selecting as his text these words of the Saviour, "Follow Thou me." Mr. Blaiock developed his theme along helpful and practi cal lines, the scripture which he ex pounded and the truths to which he ! gave utterance being easily applica ble to the lives of those who heard his very excellent discourse. He spoke throughout with his accus tomed earnestness i;nd fervor. Mr. Blalock's Edgefield friends were glad of this opportunity to hear him preach. Mr. Ouzts Appointed. Mr. J. P. Ouzts has been duly ap pointed as postmaster to succeed the late Capt. W. H. Branson. He went to Washington Friday to file his bond and returned Saturday with his commission.

He is a good business man and will manage the affairs in a manner that will be acceptable to both Un cle Sam and the patrons of the office. Visited Paper Mill. Mr. S. T. Williams was in town Monday for the first time since his recent stay in the mountains, and it was exceedingly interesting to hear him speak of the paper mill which he visited near Asheville. It con sumes 31 cords of wood each day in making a coarse heavy paper. The acid that is extracted from the wood as it is being converted into pulp is collected in ranks and ship ped to western tanneries to be used in tanning hides. The entire plant covers 14 acres and represents an investment of $5,000,000. Meeting of Rosebud Club.

Instead of holding the regular meet ing next Thursday, the members of the club will give a picnic, this be ing the last of the season. Seed Likely to Advance. Mr. W. E. Holston, the oil mill man, spent Saturday and Sunday in Edgefield. Owing to Mr. Holston's experience, close observation and conservative judgment, what he says upon the oil and seed outlook for the season can be received and depended upon as expert testimony. He says the' seed supply has been cut short considerably and that oil shows some advance, with the pros pect of continued advance, which means that seed will likely com mand a higher price later. Monthly Meeting of W. C. T. U. On Monday afternoon September llth, 1911, the ladies of the W. C. T. U. met at the home of Mrs. Ma ry Norris. Notwithstanding the fact, that we had thunder, lightning and rain at that hour, a goodly number of our ladies were present, and we had a very helpful meeting. ' A nice program had been arrang ed by Mrs. Beauregard Timmons, who presided over the meeting with much ease. Mrs. Greneker read a paper: "Do weak hearts need alcohol." "Do alcoholic liquors aid diges tion," was read by Mrs. Lott "Is coco-cola a harmless drink" was read by Mrs. Tillman. A very interesting and instructive talk was made by Mrs. Tillman on the W. C. T. U. work at Chautau qua, New York, where she spent five weeks this summer. Mrs. Minis, our president, not being able to be with us, had a very sweet and encouraging letter, read by Mrs. Lott. Her words are al ways "fitly spoken" and enjoyed by all, because she has the love and confidence of us all. If all our members worked as she does onr Union would be much stronger.

Driscoll, at a dinner in New York, told a number of amusing stories about his strenuous life as a commissioner of weights and measures last year. "A friend of mine," said Mr. Driscoll, "noticed one morning that his grocer looked very sad. "What's the matter, old man?" my friend asked jokingly, "The weights and measure man hasn't been dropping in on you has he?" Yes, he has," snapped the gro cer. "But you don't really mean to say," exclaimed my friend, that he caught yon giving only 15 ounces to the pound?" "Worse than that!" groaned the grocer, I've been giving 17!" NOTICE.
