Easter Egg Hunt. -The large garden and lawn of Mrs. Kate Butler was transformed into a veritable Fairyland Monday after noon, the occasion being the annual Easter egg hunt arranged by the Guild" of the Episcopal church. Near ly one hundred children gathered early in the afternoon, after impa tiently waiting for the hour to arrive. ^Having attended previous egg hunts given by the Guild, they knew what pleasure was in store for them. More than 300 eggs had been hidden about the lawn and among this vast num ber was a golden egg, the finder of which would receive prize. Not only ' did the youngsters vie with each oth- : *r as to which should find the great- ' ?st number of eggs but each one was 1 doubly eager to locate the golden egg. After much searching, William Byrd, Jr., found the golden egg and received the prize, a beautiful box of 1 candy. While the climax was now ' reached in the search for the eggs, 1 yet there was much fun in store for ' the rollicksome boys and girls as they ' engaged in various games and out- ' door sports. The occasion will be a source of pleasant memories to all who were present. The gate receipts and the proceeds of the sale of ice cream amounted to $18.10, $15.00 < of which will be donated to the Ar- i menian sufferers. ] You can do it in a FORD.-Yor.ee ?

Rawl, white man charged with robbing stores at Trenton and being connected with robberies in Fairfield county. The chief justice fixed at $5,000 as the amount after a habeas corpus before him in the afternoon. In fixing bail for Rawl, who was brought to the court room under heavy guard, Chief Justice Gary made it plain that crime in South Carolina must be stopped, and that one way to stop it was to keep crimi nals in jail. He told attorneys for Rawl that if the man before him was not a South Carolinian he would have fixed the bond at 810,000. Chief Jus tice Gary sf.id the laws are too sacred to be trampled upon and at this time outsiders are invading the state to break its laws. In case Rawl is able to take ad vantage of the bail it was indicated yesterday that several additional war rants; are awaiting him, including one federal.-The State. If Rawl furnishes bond in the sum of $5,000 and is released he will be at once arrested under other charges and remanded to prison. Sheriff Swearingen had forwarded just a few days ago three additional warrants for Rawl to Solicitor Cellison. It will not be an easy matter for him to fur nish he?vy bond in all of the cases on record against him. If it were pos sible under the law to hold him, he should not be granted bail at all. Such a villain and desperate charac ter as he is alleged to be deserves a permanent place behind prison bars. Miss Dorothy Wheale Visits Edgefield. Miss Wheale of Bridgeport, Conn., jpent Monday in Edgefield, the guest if Mrs. W. B. Cogburn and Mrs. J. L. Mims. An afternoon meeting of adies was held on Monday at the ?om? of Mr3. J. L. Mims. The songs of the Woman's Chris-j ;ian Temperance Union were sung, and Mrs. J. W. Peak conducted the devotions. - Miss Wheale made a very practical and thought provoking talk to the women, sounding a warning note to mothers in regard to the conditions in many parts of the country. She said that a questionnaire had been sent to Columbia University students recently asking their views on jazz music, on cigarette smoking and oth er things of like natm-e, and that the opinion of the young people was di vided about half and half, showing the tendency towards lowering of ideals. In the evening Miss Wheale spoke in the Baptist church, Rev. A. T. Al len conducting the devotions, and giving very pronounced views on the question of prohibition, and his in terest in the cause. Rev. G. W. M. Taylor of the Methodist church in troduced Miss Wheale, telling some of her qualifications for the work. Miss Wheale was a deaconess, though very young, in the Methodist church for 7 years, and took the two year course in religion at Yale University and several courses at Columbia Uni versity. She made an excellent ad dress. Tuesday morning Miss Wheale ad dressed the High School, going from Edgefield to Aiken. Sunday School Notes. One good thing about the modern Sunday school is that it takes in every age and class of people, from the cradle roll to the old and sedate. One of the most interesting class es at the Edgefield Baptist Sunday school is No. 2., composed of elderly married women and widows, a class of noble women ' who have passed through the varied experiences of life, dark and dreary days as well as bright and sunny hours, when every minute was jewelled with a joy. To them all the Bible is the great source of comfort. No place nor time is so fitted for learning the Bible as when assembled in the Sunday school class. Another great time is in the House of Worship, surrounded by the peace ful influences of prayer and lulled in a soothing composure by the peal ing anthems of the melodious organ, under the magic touch of Mrs. Ma mie N. Tillman or Miss Margaret May, and the exquisitely mellifluous mellody as rendered by MT. George F. Mims and his beautiful and gifted daughter, Miss Lois Mims and Mr.' Claude Lyon, Mrs. Walter Cantelou, Miss Ruth Lyon and Miss R?sela Par ker. Then we are lifted on the tide of Love till Hope can almost hear the rustle of a wing and Faith can see the glistening of a star. T.' One Negro Dead, Another Wounded. Sunday afternoon about five o'clock two negroes, Will Weaver and George Barnes, became involved in a difficulty at an Easter celebra tion at a school house two miles south of Edgefield. Weaver shot Barnes and thinking the wound would prove fatal fled through the woods and was pursued by about half a doz en of Barnes' friends. They overtook him about half a mile away. Two pis tol shots were heard and later the dead body of Weaver was found in the woods. Sheriff Swearingen began at once to work on the case. An in quest was held Monday by Judge J. B. Tompkins and the verdict was to the effect that Will Weaver died of a wound inflicted by Abrahm Holmes, Hamp McKie, Ernest Barnes, Claude Jennings, Warren Barnes, Bryan East and James East.
