They were greatly pleased with their stay in the capital city. Being on duty on ly a short time each day, gave the soldier boys much time for sight seeing and pleasure seeking gener ally. The highest score among the Edgefield boys was made by Mr. John Batten, who will probably go to Charleston- to participate in the practice thereat an early day.. A Correction. In the write-up of the commence ment exercises in The Advertiser last week an error, which was alto gether unintentional, was- made in giving Miss Couch and her pupils credit for the splendid concert on Thnrsdayevening,when the program, I with the exception of two numbers, was rendered by Miss Fannie Shep pard's pupils. Miss Francis Bur gess, who played a very difficult se lection without notes and of whose skillful performance special mention was made, bas been Miss Sheppard's pupil for four years. It Ava s Miss Sheppard Avho introduced the four pianos in the S. C. C. I. After graduating from the S. C. C. I., Miss Sheppard attended the Brenan Conservatory' of Music and comple ted'the full course in that institu tion. She is not only a very talent ed musician but is unusually gifted in the art of teaching. That her services in connection with the mu sic department of the S. C. C. I. baye been of the highest order is attested by the Arery marked progress her pupils have made. Her Works do Praise Her. Frequently persons pass away and.are soor forgotten, leaving no impress, nothing that is enduring by which they can be remembered. Such was not the case with that saintly woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Day, v ho peacefully entered upon her eternal sleep on Thursday last at her home near Trenton, where she passed her entire earthly sojourn. Her good deeds and consecrated Christian life will be an imperish able monument to her memory. In deed she will continue to live in the upright, exemplary lives of her sons and daughters. Although she bas at last been called up higher, Providence dealt kindly Avith the kindred, friends and neighbors of Mrs. Elizabeth Day in sparing her to them for so long a period. Every .life that came in contact with hers became truer and nobler by reason of the association. Her beneficent influence was not confined to her immediate commu nity. EA'en those who did not enjoy a personal acquaintance Avith this good woman were made better men and better women by lier Christ like example. Mistress (in awed voice): "Nora, my husband is just raving over those chops you sent up. He says they are raw and he is acting like a wird man." The Cook (placidly): Thin shure, mum, if he is acting like a Avoild mon ra AV meat is-just the food for him."-CleA'elano Leader. Activity in Building Circles. There is considerable building being done in Edgefield. The Beav er Dam Mill' has just completed several neat and comfortable cotta ges for operatives. Mr. D. A. Tompkins will begin at once, tbrough Mr. W. S. G. Heath, the erection of a two-story, brick residence on the lot opposite the home of Mr. B. Timmons. Mrs. Susan B. Hill has had plans made for-a very attractive two-story residence on the lot on Main street adjoining the home of Mr. A. S. Tompkins. The material is already being placed upon the ground. Mr. W. S. G. Heath has been awarded the contract by Mrs. Hill. Graduates From Davidson. The editor of The Advertiser has watched with very keen interest the college career of our young friend, Mr. Dozier A. Lynch, who tQ-day reaches the long coveted goal. His. four years of hard work will have been crowned with full fruition when he receives his diploma from the hands of the president of Da vidson college to-day. Ile has made a good record at college, ranking easily as the leading orator, of the student body. He it was who won the trophy in the oratorical contest this spring between Davidson and Wake Forrest. Besides being an exemplary young man in every oilier respect, Dozier has been a hard student from thc very first day that he entered school as a bare-footed boy. He has laid a good, solid foundation for his fu ture career. We understand that it is his purpose to take ap the law as a profession. During the summer, he will do som? engineering in Georgia, and will probably enter the law department of the South Caroliga University in the fall. Delightful School Picnic. ; During the past session the school at the mill village has been .very successfully taught by Miss Sophie Abney, assisted by her sister, Miss Marie Abney. Several weeks ago Miss Abney began planning to give the children a picnic at the close of the school, having selected Centre Spring as the most suitable place for the day's outing. Everything being in readiness the little folks came together Saturday morning and boardsd the buggies and wag ons that Mr. B. F. Zimmerman had very kindly provided. They thor oughly enjoyed the ride out to Cen tre Spring, that ideal spot for pic nicking. The day was very pleasantly spent in romping, playing and en gaging ?i. all sorts of gimes. At the noon hour the Misses Abney spread a great feast for the little folks and every one of them enjoyed it to the fullest extent. The last item of the menu, but by no means the least, was ten gallons of ice cream, with cakes of all kinds in like propor tion. As the shadows lengthened, the little folks returned to their homes in town, being profoundly grateful to their very kind and faithful teach ers for the day's outing, the like of which many of them had never ex perienced before. The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths, ' There is a ?disease prevailing in this country most dangerous De eau se so deeep ' I ?fflJ?A ti\e.

On Thursday last our community; waa saddened by the announcement j of the-tj?eath of Mrs.' Eliz?befh Day. Mrs. Day has been ill for the great er part of the year and only one of temperate habits and a strong con stitution at such an advanced age could have held up so remarkably well. She spent her whole life where she wa* born. If we were to write only one sentence expressive of her life it would be, "She went about doing good." She came from one of the oldest and most prominent- fami lies of old Edgefield district, the Hatchers. Before the war she was married to Julius Day and to this union ten. children were born, of whom si* preceded her to the grave. Those, surviving are P. B., B. J., Mrs. W. M.*. Yann and Miss Kate. Her life was blessed with many years andv.she used them for a bless ing to those about her. Whenever! her name is mentioned it will re mind us of some good deed, some act of friendship, some kindly ad vice, some Christian service. Her j life was as. noble as it was gentle. Her words of encouragement have made many rejoice. Her advice has given hope to the doubtful. Her cheerfulness has gladdened the heart burdened with sorrow. Her Chirs tian life has led others to seek their peace which only heaven can give. To her church she was dutiful; to her Lord faithful unto death. In the last hours she called each of her grandchildren separately to her bed side and gave them her farewell words, words of hope, encourage-1 ment and ?Christ'like advice and a request that they should bear her body to its last resting place. While her life has had its share of sorrow and tears we can but say, "Surely goodness and mercy hath followed her the days of hsrlife and now she will rest in the house of the Lord forever." May the young look upon her life to emulate those graces of j Christian character that makes life worth the living, The funeral services were con ducted at the church of Our Saviour, ol' which she has been a member for years, and the body laid to rest in Ebenezer cemetery. The concourse of sorrowing friends and the floral offerings bespoke for the esteem in in which she was held. All Trenton is bowed with sorrow. ,.T. II. C. Trenton, S. C. U. D. C. to Meet.

Shannonhouse," The Edgefield Advertiser, says, "is the Burbank' of Edgefield. He is, not only the earliest and best gar dener, but, his garden contains plants and vegetables that hitherto have never been grown in Edgefield. It is indeed wonderful how plants respond to his magic touch." N An expert gardener is an educa tor in a community and, moreover, he is nearly always a teacher of other things. The man who pro vides an object lesson in gardening contributes to the elevation of his neighbors. Wherever are well kept and well tended gardens, the people, are progressive. Good gardens and civilization go hand in hand.-The State. Doctor: " Now, don't worry, whatever you do; a man with heart disease can't afford to Worry. Avoid all company of any kind, drink nothing whatsoever, and on no ac count touch meat and vegetables. By the by, I won't be able to call till Wednesday, as I have to attend the funerals of three patients." Melbourne Leader. EE29B5E 1 Feeling" Out of Sorts? ver and Kidneys are out of order.
