WEDNESDAY. JULY 5,1905.
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

. 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

intellectual life tower above tl
average ol either sex, but she yv
wonderfully endowed in inusi

did she improve her talents th
she easily ranked among the for
most musicians of the state. .

precluding the possibility of in

the casket was borne- l o the pa

Edgefield, warm friendp of Col.
Bailey, acted as pall k :,s.
The very numerous. jd sur

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.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED
By the Summer School in Honor of
the Memory of Mrs. F. N. K.
Bailey.
Ou Wednesday morning (lb?
day after Mr?. 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,

uuuaually wide and profound ; and
that her manners were surpassing

mark of respect to ?>e memory ol

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.
