Quite a number from various sec tions were present, and three from Edgefield who were fortunate enough to attend, report having the best time of their lives and say the barbecued dinner, and all the varied accompaniments could not be excelled. Robbers Try to Get Booty From McCormick Postoffice. McCormick, Aug. 4.-The post office in McCormick was broken in to last night, which makes the sec ond time this year. The lawbreak er went in through the front door, which, being glass, was easily crushed. The thieves also broke into the office of Fred C. McCain but must have been scared off as nothing of importance has been missed at either place. Good rains which fell yesterday in and around McCormick and last night washed out any tracks that might have been made.-The State. Marriage of Mr. Thomas W. Carwile.

On August 26 and 27, the annual .meeting of the Woman's Missiona ry Union will take place at Antioch church, the sessions continuing through two days without night sessions. It is a year of interest to the Baptist union of the south, as the orginization at large has reach ed the 25th anniversary, a quarter of a century. This will be the 9th year of the organization of the as sociational work of Edgefield, hav ing held meetings at, Red Hill, Parksville, Bold Spring. Berea, Red Oak Grove, Rehoboth, Trenton. Edgefield and this yea rat Antioch. The work has made steady growth, and is finally established. We hope that this year will be the most largely attended meeting of the 9 years. The most attractive feature of this occasion will be the Jubilate program on Wednesday afternoon, when there will be a processional, and banners, each of the 30 or more societies carrying their own banners as they march. Pleasant Occasion. [Communicated.] A social event of the past week was a reception at the home of Miss Natalie Padgett in compliment to her hou e guests, Misses Margaret Collins of Mallina and Mary Tim wrman of Ridge Spring. Fifty or more young people called during the evening. They were received on the veranda by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Padgett and invited into the parlor by Miss Gladys Rives and Mr. Reyrolds. In the receiving line were Miss Natalie Padgett and her visitors. Miss Colline's dress wa9 a hand some white messaline with lace drapery and Miss Mary Timmer man wore a white crepe meteor with bead trimming. Miss Padgett was attired in pink satin. The piazza was well lighted and in a vine-clad bower at one end fruit nectar was served by Miss Gladys Padgett. As the guests were assembling4 Miss Miriam Norris added to the pleasure of the occasion with sever al delightful piano selections. "Progressive conversation" with the change of partners, was an en joyable entertainment, affording op portunity to engage in conversation with all. Sherry ice-cream and chocolate cake were served for refreshments. A Loss to Edgefield. The decision has been reached by Miss Viola Mellichampof oar town chat she will accept a position offeied her as "mother" in one of the homes at Connie Maxwell Or phanage, [there being twenty-four little girls under her charge. Edge field will be truly sorry to have to part with Miss Mellichamp, but as a friend remarked, the combination in this case is so very satisfactory and suitable that we feel that we must not regret her departure. Miss Mellichamp is devoted to children, and they to her, and has that kindly, patient, yet firm spirit, which will make her an ideal mother in the home. She spent several days recent ly at the orphanage. Mrs. Melli champ will also leave Edgefield. This whole family has been a bless ing in our midst, and we hope they will return from time to time and see us again. Miss Mellichamp as sists Mrs. Tillman in the Sunbeam society, is secretary of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, teach er of a class in the Sunday school and has made her impression very decidedly on the community. Edgefield Mourns On Tuesday morning the sad message came to Edgefield, an nouncing the death of Eileen Ouzts Bussey, one of the most be loved of all the young women who have been reared in our town for many, many years. Less than a year ago, in the har vest season, in October, Eileen was married to Rev. P. H. Bussey, and a beautiful marriage it wa9, and so many friends and relatives were gathered at her father's home to witness the pleasant and auspicious occasion. So many beautiful gifts, the tributes of friendship and love to cheer and comfort her heart in the new home to which she was going, She was so well titted to be the wife of a consecrated Christian minister. Everybody loved and praised her for her early consecra tion and devotion to the Master's service. A few days ago the little babe was laid to rest in Hartsville, and the hope ?was that the mother would live Seven though there was great suspense. Her many friends were waiting every message hoping for news of comfort and hope. Mrs. Bussey from her childhood was of modest, but winning and prraciouB manners. After she had graduated at the South Carolina Co L?l2ucc?tioitai :Inat?tutc. fnr yow she taught in the "Ked Oas wove community, and it was notable and unusual how the residents of that section loved and esteemed her. On every hand there were so many affectionate expressions of regard and confidence, and they were dis appointed to give her up at all No wonder then that the youn: minister of the gospel whose cbil< hood had been spent in that hore of Red Oak Grove, met and lovd and won this pattern of virtue .id sweetness. We were all thinking how u?rul she would be in her new hornead how happy together having so rJch in common, so congenial instes and sympathy but she is gonand the place she knew will knojier no more forever.

The great Bucees? that Lord Strat? tord de Redcliffe, the Enghah diplo matist, achieved in his career was, tn a large measure, due to his extraordi nary vigor and energy. Moreover, he expected the young attaches connect ed with his embassy to display an equal endurance and capacity for work. Apropos of this, Uber Land und Meer recalls an amusing incident from the days when Slr John Hay, a? attache to the E-'tish embassy at Constantinople, was under Lord Stratford. The ambassador enforced a rigor ous discipline upon his subordinates, and through his strength of will and character obtained complete obedi ence. But with the arrival at the em bassy of Sir John Hay. he met an attache who had a will as strong as his own. On the day after his arrival Hay was detailed to help Lord Stratford finish some pressing work. They be gan at eight o'clock. With a few short interruptions for meals, they worked steadily until two o'clock of the following afternoon. Only then did Lord Stratford re member that neither of them bad slept for over thirty hours. "Lie down and take a nap." he told his as sistant. Then he added, TH have you called in a little while, and we will continue." Hay had not complained during the thirty hours of work, and he kept si lent now, although there was a dan gerous glint in his eye. He went to his bedchamber, and in the presence of his servant took a pistol from his portmanteau, and placed it beneath his pillow. "I will certainly shoot any one who attempts to waken me before six to morrow morning," he announced, quietly. Then he went to sleep. It was not long before the inde fatigable Lord Stratford was ready to resume work, and he sent for Hay. "He's in bed," Hay's servant re ported. "Tell him I'm ready." "Forgive me, your excellency, but .he would shoot rae!" "What?" asked Lord Stratford, In astonishment. ."He said before he went to sleep that he would shoot whoever waken ed him before six tomorrow morn ing." Lord Stratford fumed, and vowed that the young attache should be Bent home immediately. But before six o'clock arrived he had fully for* given Hay, and had admitted his own fault in attempting to drive young men at a pace that no one but him self could endure.-Youth's Compan ion._ - f Traveled to Throne In Disguise.
