With this week the work of the Bummer Behool for the teachers of Kdgefield county will close. From every, standpoint-efficiency of instructors, character of work done bj the teacher-students, and attendance-this has been the most successful school cf the hind that has ever been taught in toe county. In no other way could a e im liar amount of the public sohool funds haye been ex pended that wou'd have brought ns large returns. Superintendent Byrd, by all means, secure the tame instructors for the summer "ichool of 1906." Dispensary Doomed in Edgefield. Pursuant to the call for a mass meeting a great number of citizens assembled in the court house oo Monday for the purpose of taking fcteps to rid thi?f county of tho dispensary. Never before have we seen a 'more representative or more harmonious meeting iu Edgtfield. The body was organized by the election of 0. Sheppard, Esq, chairman, audHou. B. E. Nichol souj.secretary. Ou motion of Rsv. P. Jj. Lanham the chair appoint ed .4committee of three, consist ing?ef Rev. P. B. Laubam, Rev L.i-?A. Cooper and Hou. W. J. Ta?pert, to draft resolutions for thCcousiderafcion of the body. The committee reported the following resolution, which was practical ly?ujiai?imo?8ly adopted : .Resolved, That it is the sense off this body that petitions be cir culated aLpnce, iff each township in Edgefield county, asking for an election upon the question of dis -pen?ary;or no dispensary. ?Thera was a very marked ab sence pf the long-winded speech es iig^Jhai; usually characterizej^qb-orc people seem to prefer to ^^CQtisider the matter quietly, thoughtfully, dispassionately . each man for himself. This desire was evidenced by the fact that a motion providing for public meet-j ings for the discussion of the liquor problem before the people was unanimously! rejected. The chairman was empowered and directed to appoint at once three citizens in each township to circulate the petition. It is reasonably certain that the dispensary will be rejected in this county.by an overwhelming ma . jority. Several prpj who are not e?ven to over-estima-1 ting sucVmatters, after witness ingUagyeliberatiouB of the mass .^SeTting, expressed the belief to us that the vote would result three to one against the dispensary. The chairman will announce the.township committees in next j week s papers. ; AN IRREPARABLE LOSS. Edgefield's Tears Mingled With Bamberp's in the Death of Mrs. CF; N. K. Bailey-The Latter Her Home by Birth, the I Former by Adoption. The dawn of new aDd greater Edge field is co-existent with the removal of the Routh Carolina Co Educational- Institute-w hose founder and president is Col. F. N?K. Bailey-from Williston to this place seven years ago. With .its-coming there came new life, intellectually, religiously, socially and commercially, to our town. - The peals of the college bell, as it cails the student body to duty, has always carried joy and gladness to our hearts and homes. The mainstay of this institution D8B been its able, energetic, never tiring president, and the mainstay of Col. F. N. K. Bailey has been Mrs. Bailey, whose sudden death from acute appendicitis on Tues day afternoon completely crushed the husband of tenderest devotion, and shocked and grieved our Com munity to a degree that cannot be expressed. The deceased, to Col. Bailey, was more than a wife, io the or dinary acceptation of that term. She was also hie co-Iaborpr in the cause of Christinn education, in which great cause he is ever spend ing and being spent. It was her good fortune to have been born of God. fes ring, God-serving parents, Drvand Mrs. J. B. Black, ot Bam berg, and reared in a happy home, wfco'?e atmosphere was pure, re fined, cultured. Being ambitious and richly endowed with uatural .fciits she seized upon and improved the splendid opportunities that wj^re given her.- AB a result ehe - well-rounc -long wirh her mind i d a strong, vi brist i an charact dhown "that in additi a gentle, tender, levi .ug. congenial compaoi . Bailey was fitted by natl .d training-intellectually a spiritually-for being the he meet of one whose life is de ! ted, yea, consecrated, to shapi the lives and characters of you men and women. When Col. Bailey was ov burdened with weighty respon bilities she shared them w: him ; when in a quandary as which course to pursue in this that matter he sought her cou sel; when overwhelmed by 1 lowering clouds of discouragenie such as come to every man, sought the sunshine of her pr euee; when cast down by vicis tudes and trials, incident the duties of his position, \ sought her sympathy, which w bestowed with rare spon taneil In ajy and every exigency, wh oftentimes ?.hose about her we put to confusion', she maintain au equipoise that is seldom deuced, which caused Col. Bail to lean upon her trustingly, co fidectly. Not only did Mrs. Bailey's dei pbty, c )U8 oration and lovii service put to ?hame the mat indifferent pud lukewarm Chris iaus-not o;ily did her spotle character and life stand Out i bold relief i'd this day of Gxce sive social dissipation and worl< ly indulgence-not only did b intellectual life tower above tl average ol either sex, but she yv wonderfully endowed in inusi the divinest of all arts.

The heavy and continuous rain precluding the possibility of in terment on Wednesday afternoon the casket was borne- l o the pa rental home, where it remained until 9 o'clock Thursday morning, when the mortal body of- the be loved Mrs. J?. N. K. Bailey was tenderly laid to rest, Rev. Marvin Auld officiating. Eight citizens o? Edgefield, warm friendp of Col. Bailey, acted as pall k :,s. The very numerous. jd sur passingly beautiful . ral' trib utes evidenced the genuiue affec tion wnicbvmauy bore for Mrs. Bailey. Not only were the flowers that were heaped upon the bier, from Edgefield and Bamberg friends, but from different parts of the state many were sent by college-mates and graduates of the S. C. C. I. . The All-wise Creator deemed it best to Bumroon this good woman to his presence before she had passed the allotted sojourn Upon earth ; but God be praised for permitting her to spend at least a portion of it in Edgefield. dB-- j BBBMBMMg?

Bailey's death), the students of the Summer School for the teachers of Edgefield Coun ty assembled as usual for religious service. Capt. Bean, the Acting Principal, read three verses of the eighth chapter of Mark,MS follows : "And when he had called the people unto him, with bia disci ples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after rm-, let him deny himself, and take up bis cro63 and follow me. .'For whosoever will gav?? Jr.i life shall Jose it ; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gosppPs, the[same ehall eave i < "For what shall it-profit a man, if he shall gain the "whc'.e world, and lose his*own soul?" Mr. M. G. Woodward, one of .he students, then led in a beau tifully appropriate prayer. . When the prayer was c -ucind -d, Mi*s Fairnie Lanham ns* and offered tho following preambles and resolutio is : Whereas, Mri. F. N. K. B <iley, the loving and balo^ed wife of the Principal of our Summer Sc'.iool, was,, on yesterday, called from earth to Heaven ; and Whereas, Most of us knew her for many years ; and Whereas, We crave to express, in some way, our lovo' and admi rai ion for ber: Resolved, That we, th ? students "bf the Snmuier School for the teachers of Edgefield Couuty, can say, not it: empty form, bat in deep sincerity, that she wa3 one of the very noblest of women; that her intellect was exceedingly biilliaut; that her- learning was uuuaually wide and profound ; and that her manners were surpassing ly gentle and refined. Resolved, That we tender our deepest sympathy to the belovec. Principal ol our Summer School, President F. N. K.

Resolved, That, as an additional mark of respect to ?>e memory ol Mrs. Bailey, the Acting Princi pal of the Summer School is here by requested to suspend the work of the scho il lill to-morrow morn ing. Miss Lanham read several of of the foregoing paragraphs willi faultless elocution ; but tears soon moistened her cheeks, as well ss the cheeks of the oihers present,, and she mingled sobs with the leading of the remaining para graphs. The preambles and res jiu tiona being unanimously adop'ed, Caji*. Beau stated that he heartily con curred in every sentiment express ed by them, and spoke with niue J pal hos of Mr,?. Bailey's man} noble qualities. J-le then suspended tho work of the Summer School lill the next morning, and, the toucher students tiled out of the hal!, tears "were trickling down their cheeks.
