Mrs. L. S- Kernaghan Enter tains Music Club With Miss Miriam Norris as Belov ed Honoree. The September meeting of- the Philharmonic Music club, with Mrs. L. S. Kernaghan as the cordial hos tess, was a very charming affair, at which a gifted member, Miss Miriam Norris, was the popular honoree. Mrs. Kernaghan greeted the guests on their arrival at her pretty home, and Miss Genevieve Norris and Mar jorie Tompkins served delicious fruit punch in the wide hall, where potted plants and asparagus gave a pleasing effect. Little Movte Parker Kernaghan and Allen Samuels, Jr., gave the af ternoon's cunning favors, little score cards with a bar of music on them, tied with pink ribbon. The guests were seated in the liv ing room, where potted ferns and pink roses added to the dainty fur nishings of the large room. The program opened with a vocal solo "The Sunlight of Her Eyes" by Miss Margaret May, with Miss Gladys Padgett as accompanist on the piano. Mrs. B. L. Mims played Edward Grieg's "Wedding March." "Seig mund's Love Song" by Wagner was rendered by Mrs. H. C. Mitchell. As j' Mendelssohn's Wedding March was played by Mrs. Mitchell, the double doors into the dining room were op ened by the two little boys, Motte and Allen, Jr., who pulled the pink silk ribbons attached to an artistic love bow, fashioned of pink crepe, releasing a shower of rice upon the "bride-to-be, a:? she passed through. Mrs. B. B. Jones then presented a miniature bride bearing the instrip tion "Love and Best Wishes from the Philharmonic Music Club." Congratu lations and good wishes were then ex tended by the officers, who were the reception committee presiding in the .dining room: Mrs. B. L. Mims, vice president; Mrs. Wm. Mooney, secre tary; Mrs. M. B. Tucker, program chairman and Mrs. A. E. Padgett. The tea table was exquisite with its cluny lace centerpiece over pink, on which was an arrangement of ferns and pink roses over which the pink shaded chandelier cast a beau tiful glow. Comports of pink and white bon bons were reflected in the polished wood of the handsome table, which was sprinkled with dewy rose petals. Pink and white block cream with .cake was served by Misses R?sela Parker and Justine Cantelou. The climax to the beautiful affair came when Mrs. B. B. Jones gra ciously presented the set of Madeira napkins, which was a gift from the music club to the gifted honoree, whose membership in the club has added so to its enjoyment. The guests were invited to regis ter in the Bride's book, whose every page contained a musical quotation, by Mrs. H. C. Mitchell and Miss .Gladys Padgett. xThe favor for the bride was a dear little Kewpie playing on a violin, re presenting the great art, Music, an appropriate souvenir for one who is so gfited a musician from a club whose existence is founded on the great art. C. H. F. ^Warning to Sweet Potato Growers. Clemson College, Sept. 19.-Sweet potatoes should be dug before frost or continued cold weather approach ing frost, according to the Extension Service horticulturists, who warn that the sweet potato is a tropical plant and that both vines and roots may be damaged by temperature above the frost point. The prevalent idea that the vines must be frosted before the potatoes are dug is wrong and the practice is dangerous. It is unsafe to wait later than the dates below to gather pota toes. Many growers who waited until frost last year lost their entire crop, regardless of the kind of storage facilities. The approximate earliest date of the first killing frost in the Piedmont section is October 23, in the Sandhill section November 1, in the Coastal section November 9. Of the two evils, immaturity and frost injury, the former is least in jurious, as the immature potatoes can be kept, while frostbitten pota toes cannote be kept under any con ditions. Vines should not be removed ex cept from potatoes to be dug the same day. Experiments and observa tions indicate that: potatoes so treat ed are hard to cure. However, if frost kills the vines before potatoes can be dug, the main stem should be clipped at the base of plant before' thawing takes place. The house should be filled within two or three days, and curing should fcegin on first day, depending on weather conditions, and continued ten to fourteen days depending, upon weather conditions. There is more danger resulting from under-curing than over-curing, the latter being indicated by the ap pearance of long sprouts, a condition which is undesirable but more safe than the absence of all sprouts. Those interested in the building of a sweet potato storage house or the harvesting and handling of sweet po tatoes, should write to the Extension Service, Clemson College, for Exten sion bulletin 47, Harvesting, Grad ing and Storing Sweet Potatoes. Sudden Death of Mr. Ed Cheatham. The Edgefield friends of Mr. R. E. Cheatham were deeply shocked to learn of his very sudden death which occurred at his home on the Martin Town road about one o'clock Friday. He was att his store as usual Fri day morning, enjoying his normal health, and went to his home nearby for dinner at noon. Soon after leav ingthe dining room he complained to Mrs. Ch natham of feeling very un well and she insisted that he rest for a while instead of returning at once to the store. He still complained of feeling bad and in a short time be came unconscious. Before medical attention could be given him life be came extinct. Heart failure is pre sumed to have been the cause of his sudden death, as physicians have in the past treated him for heart dis ease. This sudden death of one who was so highly esteemed was a great shock to the community and to Mr. Cheat ham's friends everywhere. For sev eral years 'he had engaged in mer chandising very successfully and be ing generous and public spirited he will be greatly missed in the com munity. Mr. Cheatham was a member of Red Hill church, where the fu neral was conducted Saturday after noon at four o'clock. He is survived by his devoted wife, who before her marriage was Miss May West, and two small children of his former mar riage. News From Colliers.

Du ch Prophet Makes Forecast September 25 is the central date for a very decided change in the weather from hot to cool-possibly to cold, says the Dutch Weather Prophet. In northern and northwest ern latitudes, he predicts, it will be cold with frost previous to even the central date, which will move the cold wave for the West forward to Wednesday and probably~~to the same date for the East and Southeast, the time for the "germination" of the cool wave extending from September 18 to 25. September 7 was another period for a cool wave and it occur red in the West and passed north ward, having been deflected by the San Antonio disturbance. The coming winter will be the coldest since 1917-18, he says. Three snows are indicated for the territory south and east of the Blue Ridge. Indications at the same time are to the effect that the snow will extend far south, and the winter will be ac companied besides by numbers of snow flurries. "These forecasts will be confirmed more decidedly October 1, together with predictions as to possible amounnt of precipitationn during the winter and prospects for a grain crop (wheat and oats) in this sec tion," the prophet said yesterday. Precipitation will occur September in the Soi:'h and Southwest and it may include Columbia and vicinity in its progress northeastward, ac cording to his prediction.-The State. Artistic Shower Given by Miss R?sela Parker for Miss Miriam Norris. The Parker home on Columbia avenue, where so many lovely parties have been given in the past years was the scene on last Thursday afternoon of one of the prettiest functions ever given in Edgefield, when Miss R?sela Parker, that very accomplished young hostess, entertained with a linen shower in honor of the season's pop ular bride-elect, Miss Miriam Norris. Mrs. Hugh Mitchell and Miss Ma mie Dunovant welcomed the guests on the spacious veranda, at one eiid of which was a punch stand, artis tically decorated with fragrant pine needles and burrs, where Misses Mae Rives and Mary Marsh served fruit nectar. At the front door little Motte Par ker and Elizabeth Parker pinned cunning golden wedding bells on the visitors. The front hall and living room were all thrown into one and exqui sitely decorated in pink and white chrysanthemums. The lights were shaded with pink and had showers of pink ribbons from them in which were caught tiny blossoms. Myriads of tapers in silver candlesticks added to the pretty decorations giving an ex tra soft glow. Mrs. L. S. Kernaghan and Miis Marjorie Tompkins assisted the hos tess in greeting the visitors at^ne front door. The bride was enthroned in a beautifully decorated chair in the living room, placed beneath the wide mantel which was banked with chrysanthemums, set off with the gleaming pink tapers. Mrs. M. B. Tucker; sang "At Dawn ing," after the guests assembled in the living room, and Mr. Fred Parker, Jr., of Johnston, the very talented young cousin of the hostess, played a number of selections on the piano, his brilliant performing adding to the entertainment. Dainty score cards were passed around containing a jumble of let ters, out of wihch a bride's trousseau list could be made. Mrs. Sam Nichol son won first prize, a lovely bud vase, which she presented to the honoree, and to Mrs. Milton Parker went the booby, a useful memorandum book with attached pencil. After the contest, to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March, played by Mr. Parker, came in little Eliza beth Parker bearing an adorable miniature bride for the honoree, who then was conducted to the hall. Here the dividing portieres were drawn, re vealing a rustic scene in the rear hall. Pines reared their rraceful heads, cat tails and ferns nodded 'in the summer breeze, grey moss add ed its wonderful grace and an old fashioned well gave a realistic touch. The bride wa. invited to draw up the green buckets from the cool depths, and as she did Mrs. M.? B. Tucker, Miss Margaret May, Misses Sophie and Sadie Mims sang "The Old Oaken Bucket." As the refrain was reached the bucket appeared lad en with lovely gifts for the bride, an array which was proof of the deep interest taken in the coming mar riage of this popular honoree. Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Jr., and Miss Justine Cahtelou served a delicious course of pink and white block cream with angel food cake and pink and white mints, concluding the elabo rate party. C. H. F.
