Those dollar-day bargains don't help the fellow who only has ninety cents. . * * m Speedy trials, with appeals elimi nated, will prove to be an effective antidote for crime. r A fellow who is so lacking in cour age as to straddle on election day will have but little influence. . * * * When "bonnets" and "hats" are thrown in the political ring together sometimes the "hats" get awfully scared. . * ? * Wherein are small boys and pigs so much alike, especially in hot weather?They both like to wallow in puddles of water. . . * . Governor Harvey is more easily satisfied than most men who fill the governor's chair. Instead of two. terms or more, he is satisfied with a portion of a term. . . ? ? A useless recipe this year: "How to make a cherry pie."-Newberry Observer. Another useless recipe: "How to launder a silk shirt." . . . * It is said that the armament limi tation conference cost the American government $250,000. Well, it was worth that and more. Promoting peace is not nearly so?expensive as prosecuting war, leaving out of the question the shedding of human blood. . . . . Community Market:;. One of the greatest needs of far mers at this crucial time is better marketing facilities. According to the Newberry Observer, Newberry has the best community market in the state and Spartar.burg has the next best. Greenwood also has a fine com munity market which is of great ben fit to the consumers as well as the producers. Suppo.se a farmer brings a load of fresh vegetables to market, anstead of having to peddle them from door to door in an unsatisfac tory way, he takes them to the com munity market where the housewives and others go every morning to sup ply their needs. In that way chick ens, eggs, butter, vegetables and oth er farm products are disposed of at good prices. In short, a community market is a means, of making it easy for the producer to sell and likewise easier for the consumers to buy. j Community markets are made possi- ' ble in other counties through the ef- I forts of county and home demonstra tion'' agents. Other counties have these helpers in the time of need, but Edgefield has not. m m . m The Late Governor's Pardons. Governor Cooper, in his reply to the Greenwood Index-Journal, defies public opinion in South Carolina and says, "I don't intend to explain my pardon record or the recent pardons which have been criticized," and adds "The records are iri the governor's office, and anyone can examine them there." It would be rather inconvenient for bis late constituents to go all the .way to Columbia for that, when he could do it for them in a few words. -Newberry Observer. It appears from Ex-Governor Cooper's statement that he does not intend to ask further honors at the bands of the people of South Caro lina, else he would not assume such an independent attitude. But whether be intends to ask for further favors or not, he owes it to the people, for what they have already done for him, to make a reasonable explanation of his official acts when requested to do so. As the Newberry Observer says, j few people have the time to go to Columbia and dig into the records of '. Governor Cooper. As he seems so f averse to making an explanation, j probably Ex-Governor Cooper would just a little prefer that the records, be not given to the public. ?j Card of Thanks.

ARTHUR M. T?MMERMAN. Parties for Miss Margaret May The series of parties for Miss Mar garet were arranged through the day preceding the beautiful May-May marriage. Cn Wednesday morning, Mrs. Douglas DePa'ss, who was over from Columbia to be a dame of honor, en tertained at a lovely bridge luncheon at her spacious old home on Colum bia avenue. Three tables of players enjoyed the merry games, the yellow card ta ble covers matching the yellow of field flowers artistically adorning the pretty home. Misses Grace and Mae Tompkins won the pretty hand made handker chiefs given as prizes. The hostess presented the honoree with a fasci nating yellow flower bowl filled with yellow California poppies. A tempting luncheon, in two cours es, was served the guests at the card tables, the delicious viands testifying to the cleverness of the young hos tess, who is becoming an experienced house keeper in her new Columbia home. A charming feature of the morn ing's pleasure was a suite of songs by Mrs. Brown Mahon, of Greenville, who, with her husband were guests of Miss Grace Tompkins and who sang so beautifully preceding the cere mony Thursday evening. On Wednesday evening the entire bridal party was entertained at the Dixie Highway Hotel by Mr. John M. Mays, Jr., one of the ushers at the wedding. The guests assembled in the par lor of the hotel, which was brighten ed with vases of roses, impromptu music enlivening the moments. When supper was announced, the merry company repaired to the din ing room, which was attractive with masses of Shasta daisies. An elaborate menu of breast of chicken, rice, giblet gravy, macaroni, green peas, biscuits, Saratoga chips, pickles and iced tea, tomatoes with mayonnaise and chicken salad on let tuce hearts with ice cream and pound cake was prepared and served with the splendid service that Capt. and Mrs. Moore have made the Dixie I Highway hotel famous for. The host proved a most adept toast master, calling on a number of guests for responses and reading the good wishes that each guest had written on slips of paper by their dainty place cards. Mrs. Roger T. Hill and Little Miss Helen Dunovant En tertain for Miss Rives. The beautiful home of Mrs. Roger T. Hill was the scene of one of the gay season's loveliest parties on Fri iday evening when she, with her young sister, Helen Dunovant, who is to be in the Rives-Greneker wedding on Wednesday evening, entertained for Miss Gladys Rives. The spacious hall was adorned ?with roses, the adjoining living and dining rooms being beautiful with masses of vari-colored sweet peas, and in this charming suite of rooms were arranged the card tables. Mrs. Rhett Nicholson made top score, receiving a couple of dainty handmade handkerchiefs, which she pesented to the honoree, who, also was presented by the hostesses with a cabinet of note paper and corres pondence cards with matching envel opes. Misses Carrie and Eleanor Duno vant assisted in serving a delicious sweet course. Mrs. St. Clair Hilton was to have shared the honor with Miss Rives in being an honor guest on this occa sion, and it was generally regretted by her many friends that she was un expectedly recalled to her home, missing the beautiful party in which she was to share.

On Saturday afternoon Miss Gladys Rives, the popular bride to be, was the honoree at a. delightful party given by Mrs. B. B. Jones and Mrs. Milton Jones at the home of the for mer. There are few homes so suited to entertaining as this spacious one. The guests were met at the door by Mrs. Janies Hart, Jr., and Mrs. Milton Jones and invited to partake of delicious punch served by Miss Nelle Bryan. The entertainment for the after noon consisted cf a program of ar tistic numbers. The first was a song, "Love, Here Is My Heart." by Mrs. Rhett Nicholson. Miss Florence Mims read two poems, "If I Were King," and "My Ships." Mrs. Hugh Mitchell gave a piano solo, "Berceuse.". Miss Ruth Tomp kins then sang a love song, "For You Alone." The last feature of the pro gram was an Egyptian dance by Miss Lucy Sheppard. At the close of the program a de lightful salad course with iced tea was served, followed by mints. The hostesses presented the honor guest with a lovely silver vanity case on a heavy silver chain, with all of the usual appointments of such a case. The honoree and two of her attend ants, Mrs. Julian Bland and Miss Elizabeth Rives were served sep arately, Mrs. Lovick Smith rolling in a tea wagon adorned with brilliant nasturtiums and lighted yellow can dles. They made a very attractive group. Miss Rives wore a very be coming gown of periwinkle lace with hat to match. The decorations of the parlor and drawing room were unique and at tractive in the extreme. Orange lil lies were gracefully draped from the chandeliers, while the lights were covered with orange shades. Nastur tiums and lighted candles adorned the Colonial mantles so that a.yellow glow was diffused over the group of beautifully gowned guests. This was one of the most beautiful of the number of parties given for Edgefield brides this spring. The out of-town guests were Mrs. Berrien Walker of Chicago, Mrs. Gaskin of Columbia, Mrs. Julian Bland of John ston and Miss Katherine Earle of Landrum, S. C. "Also Ran" Recites His Woes. Indianapolis-The trials of an un successful candidate for public of fice were set out inthe expense ac count of Patrick Dugan, who "also ran" for Republican precinct com mitteeman in the Republican pri mary. In his statement filed with the county clerk he says: "I lost 1,349 hours of sieep think ing about the election. "I lost two front teeth and a lot of hair in a personal encounter with an opponent. "I gave away two pairs of suspend ers and one pair of shoestrings. "I paid $1.50 for advertising. I gave away thirteen baby rattlers, and kissed 126 babies. "I kindled fourteen kitchen fires and put up three stoves. . "I walked 275 miles, shook hands with 4,076 persons, told 10,101 lies, and talked enough to print sixteen volumes.

Memorial Day, 1922 As springtime wanders on its way To seek the merry heart of June, We, whom they saved, pause, kneel and pray For those whom Fate called all too soon. Yet, not "too" soon, for by their death They taught us living is not all; That worth and not mere length of ?ife Will be the test at Judgment call. They proved once more that right ls might; That human virtue must endure; Each man, like Galahad, worth ten,. Becase he served a purpose pure, Now, wrapped within the starry flag, They rest beneath the peaceful sod; With praise from all their fellow men And benediction from their God. For those who safe returned again, Triumphal pomp and pageant gay; For this new army of the dead, The cross, flag, laurel, and this day; For us, for whom they gave their all, Lone hearts-but proud-and eyes that weep, Yet courage gained to meet that hour When we shall earn the poppied sleep. -John H.

The Association Against the Pro hibition Amendment is receiving some interesting replies to its com munications sent to candidates for Congressional honors. That from a certain Pennsylvania candidate, pub lished in the North American of Phil adelphia, disposes of the program of .the Association in a satisfactory fashion : "I have pleasure in replying, promptly and categorically, that your association and myself are on dia metrically opposite sides of this question. "To make answer to your numbered questions in their order: "One-I heartily declare that I will advocate and work for the main tenance and fullest observance of the Volstead Act. "Two-I will faithfully labor against any legislation legalizing the sale of light wines and beer. "Three-I do not favor your policy of leaving the legislation to enforce the 18th Amendment to the sev eral states. The Constitution of the United States is Federal law, and therefore to be enforced by Federal agencies. "All of the foregoing is but an other way of saying that I am in con viction, as by personal practice, whol ly 'dry.' If I go to Congress, I pledge my best effort to help stiffen up law enforcement so vigorously that the law-defying, life-destroying and man-hood corrupting practices of bootleggers and their fellow con spirators may substantially increase the population of our px-isons." Former Federal Prohibition Commissioner Kramer Sounds Alarm. John R. Kramer, former Federal prohibition commissioner, who re cently toured the state of Missouri under the auspices of the Anti-Sa loon League of America, in one of his lectures declared, as quoted by the Springfield (Mo.) Leader, "that the enforcement of prohibition is only a matter of a few years, for within a short period the coming generation will take charge of the affairs of the nation, and that generation will have little knowledge of the appetite for liquor, due to the fact that the man ner in which it is now sold attracts no one but the man who has an un usually strong appetite for the same." Mr. Kramer sounded an alarm to the supporters of prohibition and pointed out the following mistakes made by them. "Slacking up of efforts of the sup porters of prohibition after the pas sage of the law. "Leaving the enforcement to the Federal government. "Lack of interest of local officers in the law's enforcement. "Feeling by the prohibition sup porters that they have won, and a 'cocksure' feeling as to the ground that has been gained." One important essential quality of Americanism is obedience to the laws, a respect for the majority. That is the basis for all nationalism. If one lacks that there is nothing on which the structure of Americanism may be erected. The man who does not ob serve the laws of Americ ' is not 100 per cent American.
