Her sister, Miss Ruth Tompkins, was with her when the operation was performed. The Yonce Motor Company an nounces in its advertisement this week just what cash payments are required in purchasing Ford cars\and trucks, stating that the balance can be paid in monthly installments.

Tax Extension _ The tax extension resolu tion introduced by Mr. Wells was adopted by both the sen ate and the House but was re turned to the senate by the governor with his veto. The senate at once passed it over whelmingly over his veto and sent it to the House for action. The latter body also by an overwhelming vote showed its disapproval of the gover nor's veto. The resolution now has the effect of a statute which extends the time for the payment of taxes until June 1, with no executions to be is sued until September. Supervisor Turns Detective Mr. A. A. Edmunds not only makes a good supervisor but within the last few days has shown that he would make a good detective also. Early last summer Mr. B. R. Tillman became bondsman for two negroes, Henry Lanham and Will Norris, who were charged with car breaking and larceny. Just before the August term of court the negroes left for parts unknown. Recently Mr. Ed munds located Henry Lanham in Augusta and Will Norris in Columbia. Both have been arrested and are now in jail awaiting trial at the March term of court. The Dixie Highway Great is the pity that the splendid work which was be ing done on the Dixie Highway in Buncombe has been retard ed by the unfavorable weather making the sand too heavy to haul. Those who have labor ed so faithfully and unselfish ly, both in and out of town, deserve the highest commen dation of our people. The portion of the road upon which sand has been heavily spread is during this wet season like an altogether different road. We trust that as soon as the weather permits the for ces will again be organized and the good work continue until the entire road in town is improved. Marriage Great Surprise Wednesday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock Miss Kate Mirns and Mr. Claud Lyon were mar ried at the Baptist parsonage by Rev. A. T. Allen, only a few close friends witnessing the marriage. The community was greatly surprised when the announcement of the marriage spread, as their plans were on ly made known to . a few friends. The bride and groom motored to Augusta immed iately after their marriage and after a trip of sever?! days will return to Edgefield the latter part of the week. Both of these young people are univer sally popular in Edgefield and their friends wish them every possible happiness. Citizens Mass Meeting at r Court House Monday Night March Sixth At an informal meeting of several citizens of Edgefield held Tuesday night the local condition with respect to law enforcement was discussed. We are of the opinion that condi tions can be made better by rallying our citizens to the cause of law en forcement. We are going from bad to worse and -if something is not done to check the open and flagrant violation of the Prohibition laws, calamatous results can but follow. * Therefore: We the ministers of Edgefield respectfully ask all our citizens, both ladies and gentlemen, to meet, in a Citizens Mass Meeting at the Court House Monday Night, Eight O'clock, March 6th, for the purpose of organizing a Law And Order League and in every way pos sible help to make Edgefield a bet ter town.

Many of the papers are giving at tention to "A Country Girl's Creed." Mrs. Flora Bullock's apostrophe to country life, written for the North Carolina Community Progress: "I believe that the country is a bet ter place for me to live than the city, because it is cleaner, quieter and more beautiful. I believe that I can find no nobler work than to use all the knowledge and skill I can obtain to make my country home a place of happiness for my family and friends. "I believe that the community in which I live is a part of my home and that I should work earnestly with my neighbors to bring more helpfulness and joy into the community life. "I believe that God did not mean to shut me in a house, away from the free air and sunshine. I believe that all the blessings of the great outdoors are intended for me. I believe that for me, too, it is an ennobling privi lege to work with Nature-to care for the life giving soil w.ith my own hands, to sow che seed and help it grow. I believe that all my life I should plan to have some work that calls me every day into the open air. "I believe in learning to enjoy good books, good music and good pictures. But most of all ? believe in reading in Nature's unwritten books the won derful stories of lpants and animals; in listening to the music of birds and insects, of wind and rain; in watch ing the ever changing picture of earth and sky. For I believe that God has given all these things to make my country hojne beautiful and dear to me."-Augusta Chronicle. NOTICE TO TEACHERS.

Carelessness in Transporting Money. ^ When a bank sends through the streets of New York something like $40,000 in cash one would expect it to give that highly portable form of wealth more efficient guardians than two unarmed negro employees,* one earning $16 and the other less, and ?a truck driver with a police record of considerable length. That the same men often had per formed such tasks before and arrived safely with their treasure at their as signed destinations may' explain the continuance of the practice, but it leaves the .beginning of it a mystery -much more of a mystery, indeed, than is the fact that in a city where large sums of money are' left practi cally unprotected bandits should be numerous and successful. The banks, it is stated, suffer no loss, because the money in transit was fully insured. But it that quite true? Insurance distributes losses; it does not prevent them or even decrease them.-New York Times. This is criticism well put. It does appear that there is a woeful lack of "safety first" in this matter of trans porting money, and that just a little more care and a little more precau tion might be exercised-not only On the part of-big houses sending out huge amounts by messengers, but by industries delivering lesser sums at plants for payroll purposes. There have been a huge number of robberies of late-of these snatch thefts. Bandits always seem to know when to attempt "jobs" of the kind, and, as a rule, "get away" with the money. One detective, no lesser a man Byrnes himself has said, that, in many instances, street robbers who "go in" for this class of stealing, are practically invited to commit the crimes of which they are guilty. If the underworld knew that shadowing every messenger carrying a satchel of money there were a couple of plainclothesmen, or other men well armed, there would be a lesser num ber of attempts at street bandits.
