The first crossing of bats between the home team and a visiting team occurred Saturday afternoon in a spirited game between Vaucluse and Addison Mill teams. The score stood j 18 to 3 at the close of the game in favor of Edgefield. The young men of the Addison Mills team are very en thusiastic over baseball and are throwing themselves into it unreserv edly. The young men up town have also organized a team, which will give both teams better opportunity for practice. We see no reason why Edgefield should not have the strong est baseball team in this section of the State. Let's stand behind both of the Edgefield teams and. encourage them in this manly sport. New Firm Opens For Business. In our advetising columns this week will be found the advertisement of Messrs Berrian & Cheatham, who have opened a battery service station in the building of Mr. T. J. Paul fac ing the public square in front of the Dixie Highway Hotel. This will be a strong firm. Mr. Berrian has been in the automobile business for a number of years, having been connected with the Yonce & Mooney garage for the past three years, and Mr. Cheatham is a skilled and specially trained bat tery mechanic. They will handle the Columbia batteries and guarantee their service to give entire satisfac tion. They will furnish water and ex amine your batteries without charge and if any battery which they send out fails to give satisfaction, it will be made satisfactory without further charge. N Practical Illustration of Benefit If one doubts the thoroughness of the work of a tractor and the fact that it can do far more effective work than with mule, or hourse power, he should go out to the farm of Mr. J. R. Cantelou and see the effect of trac tor plowing on young corn. Some time ago Messrs. Yonce & Mooney had a Fordson tractor demonstration on the farm of Mr. Cantelou, using heavy plows and harrows behind the trac tor. Later Mr. Cantelou planted this land in corn. Where the work of breaking was done with the tractor the corn has come up to a good stand and an the land immediately adjoin ing, just a furrow or two away, the corn is up only to a half stand. In fact, one can stand some distance away and easily see the difference in the color of the corn. Thta where the work was done by the tractor appears to have been planted a week or ten days earlier than -the other, and it is very probable that this difference will be apparent in the coming months and at the harvest time. A tractor does the wo'rk more economically and more thorough than can be done by horse and mule power. For a Severe Cold. ^"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cured my daughter, l Anna, of -a se vere cold and cough a few years ago and ever since then I have never miss ed an opportunity to recommend this medicine to anyone euffering from throat or lung troubles. I cannot speak too highly in praise of it," writes Mrs. D. J. Shelley, Earlville, N. Y. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy contains no narcotic and may be giv en to children with perfect confi dence. It is a pleasant syrup so they do not object to taking it. Just received a nice line of Walk Overs, ladies' and gents' oxfords. I. MUKA SHY. Chaplain Taylor Resigns From . Edgefield Post, American Legion. . Dear Mr. Editor:' , .Please allow me to make a state ment through your columns with ref erence to my resignation from the Chaplaincy and membership of the Edgefield Post American Legion. I feel that such a statement is due the public, the members of the Post who were not present at the meeting last night and myself. The American Legion is an organi zation composed of ex-service men. Its object is to perpetuate the mem ory of the men who fought and died for the cause so dear to us all and to promote the true spirit of American ism and American ideals. It will be recalled that at a certain public meet ing held on the public school grounds a few weeks ago things were in evi dence, which I need not mention here that in the judgment of some of us, brought the Post into a very embar rassing position. It. seemed to me that the people who had gathered from all over the county for the occasion had been done a grave injustice. I felt that as the Post was responsible for the program, that the women and children who were there in large num bers had been sinned against. At our meeting last night an effort was made to correct this wong in or der that the Post might be put before the public in the true spirit of the or ganization. A statement was mad? at this meeting which is most shocking. It was ?aid by one present that.the in vited speaker brought with him a bot tle and passed it around before the ceremonies began and that a past of ficer and another officer did not hesi tate to drink of its contents. An in vited speaker bringing a bottle of boot-leg liquor to such a meeting In my own judgment there is very lit tie difference between the bootlegge and the fellow.who buys the stuff Both the man who sells, buys or drinks bootleg liquor breaks the law, He lacks that much of being the cit izen he ought to be. The issue was clear cut as to whether the Post would correct itself before the public and make some kind of amends to our mothers and sisters and friends pres ent on that occasion, or whether the Post would condone such things. By majority vote it was decided that nothing could be done and from the impression ,1 got from this majority such matters are not to be taken se riously. Men may violate the law and drink liquor as'they wish and it is|j all right. Personally, I wish to dissent from such action. I am willing to leave the matter to the judgment of our people of Edgefield. If the Post wishes the commendation and respect |-| of the people of Edgefield, it must keep a clean house. But under the present management there is no idea |^ of housecleaning. In fact there is a spirit of willful gloating over situa-1 j tions that are embarrassing to others For these reasons, I felt that my | ] resignation was in order and accord ingly tendered the same. .

Detroit Power Farming ?S? Fordson The Fordson Tractor is taking care of every power iob ; it is taking the drudgery^ out of farm work and solving the labor problem. Power farming with the Ford son reduces the cost of preparing land to almost one half what it would be with horses, and saves a third to a half of the farmer's timer What machinery-does for the factory, the Fordson Tractor is accomplishing on the farm-it is increasing production at lower costs and making farm life attractive lons per hour. It will run the electric light plant, operate the milking machines and straw baler-will take care of every kind of. belt work. The Fordson plows 6 to 8 acres in a 10 hour day, handling two plows with ease in the average ?soil. It requires an average of only 1 12 to 2 gallons of kerosene to the acre. It is the ideal year-round tractor. It will pay for its fall and winter keep in many ways such as road work, hauling grain to the elevator, pumping water and moving granaries. Apply this power farming idea in pull ing your binder. More and more farm ers are making themselves independent of unfavorable conditions by using the Fordson tractor linked up with a light thresher. By seizing the right moment and being able to do the job without waiting and in quick time, crop losses are avoided and profits increased. The Fordson operates with kerosene. When used on belt work, running at full power at 1,000 R. P. M., the fuel consumption does not exceed 2 3 4 gal YONGE & MOONEY, Edgefield, S. C. H. G. EIDS0N, Johnson, S. C. Tourists Coming This Way.
