Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Strom.
Birthday Celebration.
Hon. W. A. Strom originated a
most unique method of celebrating
his birthday on Saturday last.
About one hundred of his friends
were invited and an elaborate bar
becued dinner was prepared and
served at the Corley place on one
of his farms near Boles mountain.
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.

Woman's Missionary Union.
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. It is well th we
seek a better country, thatis an
heavenly.''
Mrs. Bussey taught one sar in
Edgefield in the graded scbl just
previous to her marriage, a was
the president of the youngO'uan's
auxiliary and superinte^01 of
that work in the Edgefie^ssocia
tion. Just last year she p'ided so
grociously at the annual meting of
the woman's missionarunion at
Edgefield.
The telegram state that she
would be brought to F^eld and
there laid to rest amon^1" kindred
and friends, and sc1 our yil

LEFT YOUNG MAN TO SLEEP
Purity Bluff and Partly Wisdom of
His Superior Enables Youthful
Attacha to Enjoy Rest.
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

Traveled to Throne In Disguise.
A ruler who journeyed to the scene
of his inauguration in disguise was
the king of Roumania. Prince Charles
Hohenzollern traveled to Bucharest In
1866 in defiance of the powers, yhen
wax between Prussia and Austria was
Imminent. In Switzerland he had a
passport made out in the name of
.Karl Hettlngen," going to Odeas*, on
mslness, with a special note retorti
ng that Herr Hettlngen wore spec
acles. At the Austrian frontier a
lustoms official demanded hie name,
?nd the prince had forgotten it Hap
illy Councilor von Werner, who ac
ompanied him, had the presence of
lind to create a diversion by Insist
ag upon paying duty for some cigars,
nd meanwhile the prince consulted
ls passport. So he proceededasafeiy
