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.

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.

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. IS AN EXAMF on As An E. All Riot Price.

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."

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.
