When Mr. Perry Harling passed, away at his home in Plum Branch on the 19th of January, another gallant Confederate veteran joined the ranks of those who have crossed over to the other shore. He was in h:.s sixty-eighth year, and entered the Confederate army, along with four other brother?-, at the a*,e ot fifteen. No family in Edgtfield county contributed more to the cause of the Confederacy than did this one. Of the five brothers who went to the front two were slain in battle and one had a leg shot off. Mr. Harling's life was an honor to the name which he bore. He was beloved by a host of friends. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. J. N. Grif fi? and Mrs. Emmie Ellis, and two brothers, Mr. Whit Harling and Mr. Arthur Harling. Always on the Job. We caught the Hon. S. T. Wil liams on the wing Monday while he was en route from his home to Co lumbia, and had a very pleasant conversation with bim. Mr. Wil liams is proving himself tobe a hard student and is rapidly learning the ways of a lawmaker. He is al ways in his seat and studies every question of importance which comes up in the house. He voted for the prohibition referendum and confi dently believes that it will be rati fied by the people if submitted to them in an election next summer. He supported the bill repealing the cotton reduction acreage law. Mr. Williams is lined up against the cotton warehouse bill, one that should never have been enacted. He is very wise.ly not making himself conspicous this, his first session, but will yet be heard from. Frequently the legislators who introduce the fewest bills render greatest service to the people, the killing of iniqui tous measures is far more commen dable tban the introduction of need less legislation.

Edgefield Auto and Repair Shop JOHNSTON LETTER. (Continued from First Page.) book studied is "The child in the ni id Pt." The children of the Confedercy which is under the leadership of Mrs. John Mobley, had a very pleasant social in the home of two of its members, Misses Isabel and Bessie Bean. There were about 24 present, each being privileged lo invite a friend. One means of en tertaining was writing telegrams Telegram blanks were given, eafih telegram to be of ten words, and each word to begin with the f?ame letter. One of the telegrams was thus: "Servia-Sallie Smith starv ing, several suffering; send some thing substantial soon." This one written by Miss Mary Waters and Mr. Cecil Kenny and this with the one by Miss Clevie Moyer and Mr. Mark Toney were considered the best and a box of candy was pre sented them, which Mis? Clevie Moyer won. This was opened and all enjoyed its contents. The tele grams were all read out and bro.ught forth much mirth, there being a tendency in some to tease some of the young couples. Partners were next gotten for a chat by guessing the maid's nose, which alone were visible from a curtained corner. Later a variety of sandwiches with chocolate and eoffee was served. The death of Mrs. Yonee which occurred at her home near town on last Thursday morning was a very sad one, the cause of her death be ing pneumonia with other compli cations. Before her marriage she was Miss Josie Sat cher and she had been a happy wife scarcely three years. She was 23 years of age and was a sweet and lovable character, and as a student here of tho high school, was loved by all her young friends. She was a christian tri ri and early identified heiself in the work of her Lord. Th*1 burial took place Friday afternoon at Calvary Lu theran church cemetery. The hus band with a bright little babe of a year or more is left with many oth er relatives to mourn her. Mrs. VV. B. Ou/.Ls entertained a numbei of her friends on Friday af ternoon and two hours were happi ly si ent. This attractive new home is an ideal place for a social gath ering and the beauties of the home were enjoyed by the guests. Eight tables of progressive rook were played and Mrs. B. T. Boatwright making the highest score was pre sented with a chiffon and lace cami sole. A delightful salad course with coffee was served. Mr. VV. L. Coleman went over to Augusta the first of the week to see Mrs. Coleman who is at Wright's hospital, Augusta for medical treat ment. Libraries For Young People. Let us not forget the (public school and the importance of hold ing community meetings in the school houses. The profitable farm ing campaign should be continued; the importance of raising livestock and diversification of crops to feed them is all paramount at this time, but let us not forget the schools, the school house meetings and li braries to give information and wholesome recreation. There has never been a time when we needed to know our neighbors better; we have never needed our neighbors' sympathy, cooperation and help more than we need them now. Our people have never had a better opportunity for .prosperity and for higher ideals of citizenship than they how have. How shall we use this opportunity? Will we wait till the tidal wave of prosperity moves past us or will we look to the future, get ourselves ready and start with the wave? We will never accomplish alone what might be accomplished by the people of the neighborhood think ing and working together. Nothing is more important than teaching the young people morality and citizen ship and in placing high ideals be fore them. We jan do this best by community meetings where w? may instruct, entertain and elevate by special programs and by placing in their hands the best books, papers and magazines. We will never produce more with out more study, more logical rea soning, more co-operation. The mind is the first essential in pro duction and marketing. A trained mind is necessary before better farming, better citizenship and a greater appreciation of health and contentment. With papers, maga zines and books within the reach of all it is an easy matter to store the mind with useful information and thus increase one's earning capaci ty. Earning and intelligence go hand in hand. The greatest need of the hour is more reading, mere information, more intelligence. A good way to begin is to put libraries in reach of the young people.-Farm <fc Ranch. Community Leadership and the Pastor. When the members of a family plan and work together for the com mon good., the family life is most satisfying and approaches perfection and the welfare of each member is most successfully advanced. If the family is not blessed with such spon taneous co-operation leadership is required to bring it about. Such leadership may develop in the father or mother, but id more likely to come, under the circumstances, fi om a son or daughter. The community is but an enlarged family. There can be no legitimate clash of interests as betweeu its citi zens; their interests are largely com mon, and working together'for the common good, intelligently, persist ently, means a full, wholesome, satis fying community life, and a greater success and a happiness for each fam ily and individual in the community. If such community co-operation is not spontaneous-arid it seldom is-lead ership will be required to bring it about. The number of families is multi tudinous in wnich circumstances al ready fixed or lack of effective leader ship forever denies the fullness of life. The number of such commu nities must be infinitely smaller be cause of the broader source from wh.ch to draw leadership. In a community of several score families and hundreds of individuals there ought to be home-grown material for leadership, if not, and the need of leadership is locally recognized, it can be brought in.. For one man 01 one woman, with inspiration, in telligence, indtiatry and integrity, can bring any community to co-op eration.

If 1 either fails in this respect, he is in ' the wrong* community or else he ha-* I mistaken his calling; three-fourthH ) of the functions of each is leader- i shin. If there is any difference in the I degree of responsibility in this re- 1 spect, as between the teacher and the pastor, the preponderance is * with the lattpr. The former's great 1 care is the children and their devel < opment; the pastor's concern is with every condition that affects the wei- ' fare of every individual, young and ! old, in the community. 1 The teachings of Jesus are won derfully adapted to every phase of human activity" and interest; they are the God given guide for the in- 1 vividual or for the community. Ac- ' cording as the pastor leads the peo 1 pie to follow them in every-day af- ? fairs-in their every relation with { each other, in family life, in relation '' to the soil, and to the animals and < crops to which God gives the in- 1 crease-even so does he justify his ' calling. Happy, indeed, is the com munity with a pastor four-fourths | qualified for his work; a teacher so | endowid but adds to the efficiency , of the other.-Farm & Ranch. i On Saying "Yes." ? I think there are parents who might say "yes" to their children I much more frequently than they do. It is very touching to see a family < of children planning for themselves some little treat or pleasure, select ' the youngest because he is the pet or the one whom they suppose to be | the one most in favor, to go and ? ask papa or mama, as the case may i be, for the coveted permission; as if < papa and mama were two dread I se.not to carry over ng and summer.

"ices are for CA! tyrants who must be approached ivith utmost tact and discretion, and: taken in a genial mood, or the little petitioners woild not attain the* nuch-desir?d boo >. Many a time have I been ap proached by some small fiienrl and requested to ''ask mama for me; she rill do it for you, but she would .say 'no' right awav to me." And Ir reeline this would be the case, have exercised whatever tact I possessed ?vith the mother, and when I have ivon the coveted permission, have ?one with the happy sentence, "Yes^. nama says you can do it," to gi ad ?en the heart of the little petitioner waiting without. Surely this is all wrong. It is true, a wise mother is obliged dur ng the course of the day to refuse perhaps more than she is able tc 'rant, but every child ought to have issured confidence that these refus ils are the result of no tyranny or caprice, but that thiy are all given n a sp;rit of perfect kindness and: .ruest love. Often a busy mother has no time .0 explain reasons for refusal, some times it is best not to explain; in iither case the chiid must accept .he decision, and he will do it cheerfully if he is absolutely sure nother would gladly say "yes," if" me could. That is Just the trouble. Why should Polly wear the blue rock instead of the garnet one?" Why must Jack's new hat be a lerby when he wants a soft felt? Why will you make gingersnaps when the children prefer cookies? Why cannot their tastes, ideas, and preference be suited when it would lo no barm?
