Office No 61 Residence, No. 17 Wednesday, February 20. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. f No, it appears that the backbone of winter is not broken-only cracked. Mrs. W. S. Boyd of Greeleyville is here visiting her parents, Rev. and Mrs. P. P. Blalock. Miss Addie Walker, a be inti ful young lady from New York, is here visiting her aunt, Mrs. N. G. Evans. They tell us that the corn crop of 1917 was the biggest on record and yet it is difficult to buy a bushel of western corn. Mr. and Mrs. T. Garrett Talbert of Parksville spent the early part of the week here visiting Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Parker. Miss Helen Tillman had as a guest for the week-end a college friend, Miss Julia Pace, a very charming young lady from Albanv. Ga. Wo are delighted to report that Mr John Hollingsworth is improving. His mother, Mrs. D. B. Hollings worth, is with him in San Antonia, Mrs. L. Wigfall Cheatham is in Greenwood for a week as the guest j of Miss Madge Turner, whioh ac counts for the lonesome, absent minded look of the Colonel. Mr. A. N. Kieffer, Esq., a promi nent auc;uey of Springfield Ga., and a college class-mate of Rev. A. L. Gunter, spent the week-end at the Methodist parsonage. The time will soon be out for the payment of your 1917 taxes. Alter, March 1 the penalty for non-pay-j ment will be very heavy. Pro crastination may mean a heavy penalty. Mr. A. S. Tompkins, Jr., is ill with pneumonia at Camp Wads worth, Spartanburg, and his parents. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Tompkins, are with him. His Edgefield friends hope and pray for his speedy re covery. Col. S. B. Mays was the first per son to come in and report on the flour he has on hand. A number of others soon followed Monday morning. Our people are respond ing heartily and patriotically to the appeals of the iiovernment. The response to the appeal of the government to report the quantity of flour on hand in excess of 30 days' supply is meeting with very general response. The people ap prove of the course adopted by thc Food Administration in Washing ton. Mrs. Agatha A. Woodson has been spending the past week in Au gusta with her daughters, Mrs. Walter McDonald and Miss Eliza beth Woodson. The latter is a trained nurse and has volunteered for Red Cross duty and has been accepted. Mr. Milledge Holston, the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Holston, is at tending the Bailey Military Insti tute at Greenwood. Milled<re has always made a good record at school and we confidently expect to hear good reports from him while away from home. Services at the Methodist church Sunday are as follows: Sunday school 10:30 a. m. Preaching by the Rev. Walt Holcomb, Nashville, Tenn., 11:30 a. m. Frances Wil lard Memorial service, under W, CT. 17M* 3:30 p. m. Preaching by Mr. Holcomb again at 7:30 p. m. Seven consecutive days spent in the court house examining regis trants, as was done last week by the members of the local board, is equal to the arduous trench duty of Eu rope. Therefore, before many more weeks elapse there will be three worn-out war veterans here in Edge field. _^ _ Dr. Lightfoot in Edgefield. The Mission Society of the Bap tist church, having as their subject on Friday afternoon last, "Camp Evangelism," invited Dr. E. M. Lightfoot Camp Pastor at Camp Jackson to come over from Colum bia and address an audience at the regular, meeting. Dr, Lightfoot arrived on the 2:30 train and was the guest in the home of Mrs. Mary Norris. Dr. E. P. Jones conducted ser vice and the devotions were con ducted by Mr. Orlando Shep pard. Dr. Lightfoot made a splendid I impression and gave an interesting account of bis work at Camp Jack son, A contribution of $10.00 was made by the audience for a phono graph at the turberculosis hospital at the camp. A business session of the society was heir1 after the address. Coulv* Be Infinitely Worse. It is extremely unfortunate that farra labor has to be disturbed at this seasou through the draft sys tem. Some farmers are yet unde cided about their plans for the year. However, Germany must be de feated and in order to accomplish this end an army has to be raised as early as possible, and in order to send an army to Europe men have to be sent first to the training camps. All must therefore be pa triotic and heroically rise to the oc casion, making whatever sacrifice is required of us. As bad as our situ ation is, even the woist of us, it is not one-tenth as distressing as that of the European nations. Condi tions could be infinitely worse. Miss Elizabeth Woodson Army Nurse. Miss Elizabeth Woodson (Army Nurse Corps) was notified on Satur day to proceed without delay to the base hospital at Camp Gordon to enter upon the duties as a regular army nurse. Later, as soon as the unit to which she belongs, the Em ory College No. 43 of Georgia, is fully made up, she will leave for foreign service. Miss Woodson left on Sunday, and is now in the service. So Ed?re?ield now has a Ked Cross nurse in the field. Miss Woodson is a daughter of Mrs. Agatha Woodson, whose two sons are in a machine gun battalion at Camp Wheeler. The Local Board. The board has completed the classification of all registrants ex cept those who have failed to fill out questionnaires. A netrro is lo cated here and there every day or two who has not received a ques tionaire. Citizens should co-ope rate with the board in locating these men. Practically all registrants in Class I have been examined physically. About GO were referred to the Medical Advisory Board, as pro vided in the Selectiye Service Reg ulations and Dr. R, A. Marsh ac companied these men to Columbia for examination Monday. All of them were accepted for some form of service except about half a doz en. Even a one arm nesrro was held by the Medical Advisory Board as a laborer. The local board will, in response to the 10th call for men, send 102 colored men to Cam)) Jackson Sat urday morning at ll o'clock. A nice lunch will be provided for the men and they will receive good attention, all expenses being by the government. A list of the men to be sent to camp Saturday will be published next week.

The rtquirement for successful farm managers in the future will be the ability of young men to operate machinery rather than their physi cal strength to handle hand imple ments. There was a time when strong men able to use the hoe, the ax and the grub hoe were in great demand as farm hands. Today the farm hand who can UBe machines and the latest improved farra imple ments are wanted. But successful farm managers are few. There are still farra hands, though, they are not as easily hired as formerly. Hut young men with the ability necessary to manage the farm are very hard to find. The time will come, doubtless, when land will be so high thal it will take young men without capi tal many years to pay for a home. This is true now in some localities. But it does not seem that the time will ever come when good farm managers will not have great op portunities. Those who are com p?tent to manage farms will have far greater opportunities to earn enough to pay for farms of their own than many employed in cities and towns. The boys and young men on farms should have every opportuni ty to learn some of the details of farm management as well as farm work. Whether they live on farms of their own or seek employment on other farms they should know how to manage the farm.-Farm and Ranch. CAN'T DENY IT. If This Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Edgefield You Might Doubt lt. The average man is a doubter. This is not surprising-the. public have been humbugged so frequent quentlythey are skeptical. Proof like the following will stand inves tigation. It cannot be disputed. W. B. Paul, painter it paper hanger, Butler St., Edgefield, says: "I was bothered by kidney trouble nearly all my life. It grew worse after an attack of measles. Doan's Kidney Pills removed the pains and strengthened and regulated my kid neys. My health became better than it had been in many years." Over Three Years Later Mr. Paul said: ''I have very little trouble with my kidneys now. When I am bothered slightly that way, howev er, Doan's Kidney Pills never fail to relieve me." Price (?Oe. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that cured Mr. Paul, Foster-Mil burn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Life and Work, Rev. W.S Brooke.
