a two days outing or pleasure. The
opportunity of visiting the State
capital at so small a cost will not
be given again soon. Make up a
party of friends for the trip..

Scholarship Examinations.
Pursuant to the announcement
published, County Superintendent

examination in the court house Fri
day for the purpose of awarding
scholarships in Clemson college and
in the University of South Carolina.
James Bledsoe was the only one ap

ry D. Salter, Walter H. Mays and
W. D. Ouzts applied for the Clem
son four-year scholarship. Ben T.
Huiett, James H. Spearman, G. W.
Collier and A. Guy Horne applied
for the normal scholarship in the
University.
Very Uw Rate..
In this issue will be found an ad
vertisement of the Southern rail
road in which very low raies are
made to the principal points of in
terest in the mountains of western
North Carolina. The excursion will
be run on July 21 and the tick?ts
are good to return on any regular
train up to the 2 6th of July. Do not
lose this opportunity of seeing some
of the grandest scenery in the world.
The cost ia a mere bagatelle, this
being probably the lowest rate ever
made to the mountains at this sea
son. Do not fail to seize the oppor
tunity. Ample accommodations will
be provided for all who desire to
avail themselves of this opportunity
to see the "Land of the Sky" and
the "Beautiful Sapphire Country."
Should Receive Co-operation.
The women of Edgefield whoi
have manifested commendable al
truism and public spirit by organ
izing themselves into a Civic League
should receive the hearty co-opera
tion of the people of the communi
ty in whatever they undertake by
way of beautifying the town and
improving its sanitary conditions.
The town council, which is the em
bodiment of the community in an
official capacity, should be especial
ly willing to lend a helping hand in
whatever these women undertake.
That they accomplished something
along this and other similar lines
in the past can not be disputed. But
for the efforts of the women of the
commnnity the village cemetery
would not have been properly kept
during the past decade. Other
things could be cited to prove the
woathiness of their cause. Let's all
give them the heartiest co-operation.
Delightful Social Gathering.
Several of the Edgefield boys and
girls received invitations to a party
in Johnston Tuesday evening which
was given ac the home of Mrs.
Wright in honor of Miss Martha
Boozer of Columbia. The occasion
was very pleasant when the young
people of the town might mingle
together for an evening's entertain
ment. The spacious grassy law n was
dotted with Japanese lanterns and
rustic chairs for the comfort of
those who preferred out-door en
tertainment. The guests were cor
dially greeted and invited to par
take of punch. Conversation aidtd
in making the stay more pleasant.
Refreshments consisting of delicious
ice cream and cake were served. The
[esta left at half past eleven bid
ig the hostess farewell after en
Jfying the hospitality of a Johnston
onie.
