Attention Teachers of Edge field County! The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union of Edgefield wishes to secure the interest and co-operation of the teachers and school boyi and girls of the county in their annual essay contest While we were gratified at the number of schools that responded last year, still we can be satisfied with nothing less than the enlist ment of every teacher and scholar in this important work. As long as the papers bring to ns the daily record of the awful toll of crime that is directly traceable to intemperance. No teacher can affoid to neglect this opportunity of aron< ing interest and stimulating inquiry about this vital matter of temper ance with an earnest prayer for God's blessing and guidance on the effort. It may be the time of sowing a seed of truth or a principle which may be a futute safeguard for the boy or erirl and therefore of inesti mable value. The subjects for this year are "What will be the effect of a saloon le?s nation in 1920," for oupils 16 ye<ir? and over. The ?econd is ' Why is the cigarette an enemy of the boy" all pupils under 15 years of age. Thpre are two prizes of $5.00 each offered for the best essay on each subject and two prizes of $2 50 for the second best essay on each subject. All essays must be in by the loth of March. Send these and any appe lions for literatuie to Mrs. Thos. H. Rainsford, Edgefield, S. C. Two Interesting Subjects.

A London Adventure. (Concluded.) In my laBt article I had lost Mrs. Walker in London Saturday ni^ht. She and some others had lest M?M Del p. Mr. Baty, our Canada friend, phoned to Miss Delp's hotel to find ont if she had returned. She and a few others of our party had rooms at a hotel under same management as and near the one in which most of our 80 people were staying. In some way the hotel office did not have Miss Delp's room number and Mr. Baty could get no information there. About 11:30 o'clock our five people began to try to get hack to our hotel. One of their troubles in rinding their way was a drunk street car or bus conductor. After goins.? in different directions and trying different modes of travel, they final ly reached Miss Del p's hotel, anil then how were they to find out whether she had returned in safety or not, for they did not know the number of her room and had not been able to find out from tin office? But at last they aroused some others of our party rooming in this hotel and found from them the number. Soon after getting her seat at the horse show, Mies Delp grew uneasy at being separatad from her five friends in this crowd of 10,000 peo pie in great London, so many miles away from her hotel, and decided while it was early she had best start for her hotel. She happened not to have enough money with her to hire a taxi, so she had to make her way by car or motor bus. In ellinging and trying to find the right way, she to her dismay found herself wandering about in what seemed to be one of tho worst sec tions of London. But finally ?he found her way safely home before her friends reached her hotel. By a little after 1:30 Sunday morning Miss Delp had been found in her room. Mrs. Baty, who in great anxiety had been walking her room, was relieved by the return of Mr. Baty, and I was happy again by Mr. and Mrs. H rann and tho others bringing Mrs. Walker bac'< in safety.
