Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Thursday afternoon at 3:30 .o'clock a large number of the com Tades of the White Ribbon gather .ed at the home of Mrs^ Chalmers ?Hoghes for the December meeting, and to bring a contribution for the annual box to the "Door of Hope." The program differed somewhat from the conventional one laid down for our December topic, a3 therei were so many things which had to be heard from. The devotions, in the absence of Mrs. Wells, was con ducted by Mrs. E. P. Jones and was a Bible reading ou "How We .'Should Teaoh the Christmas Spirit to Our Children," which led to re maiks from several along this line. One called attention to the faot that the word Xmas should never ?be used instead of Christmas, for if we take the Christ out of Christmas what will be left to us? At this moment little Frances Caroline Rogers, of Blenheim, who is a White Ribbon baby, was 'brought in by her mother, Mrs. Raymond Rogers, and introduced by Mrs. J. L. Mims to the interest ed assembly. ; A reading on the subject of Res .oue was given by Mrs. J. L. Mims, .that being the stated subject for December. Quite a nice contribu tion of packages were piled in the ?hallway to be sent to the Door of Hope, thus continuing the custom ?pf many years standing of remem bering this institution. As it was near the Christmas time, the year book committee had thought of the Christmas Eve more than forty years ago, when the pio neer crusaders in temperance reform had braved the animosity of the whole world to launch the Holy Cause, and Mrs. D, B. Hollings worth brought some sketches of the early crusaders. So full of pathos were some of these early incidents that there was' scarcely a dry eye ?mon? the listeners. This was followed by a enthusias tic report of the great progress of the prohibition movement as exem plified by the recent wonderful Na tional Convention in Indianapolis, when four great states and the ter ritory of Nebraska sent victor* mes sages. It was decided to send the Union Signal, tbe national organ of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, to the ministers of the town as a Christmas gift. The hostess* served z delightful .course, consisting Charlotte Rasse and several kinds of cake. The January meeting will be held on the 14th with Mrs. W. R. Swearingen, the date being a week later on account of the week of prayer for missionaries at the Bap tist church. F. A. M. Death of Miss Paris Munday. A newly made mound in the Sweetwater cemetery marks the resting place of Miss Paris Mun day who died while visiting rela tives in Harlem, Ga. Her body was brought homo and interred in the family square within the shad ow of Sweetwater church, of which she was an active member. Miss Munday made her home with her brother, Mr. John W. Munday, and her death will be keenly felt in the Roper's community. She will be greatly missed in the community where she was reared and passed her life. There yet remain of the immediate family one sister, Miss Fannie Munday, and three brothers, Mr. Pierce Munday, Mr. J. W. Munday and Mr. E. J, Munday. Honor Roll of Rehoboth School For November.

P. Lewis spent a part of last week in Batesburg with her mother, Mrs. Timmerman, who hat* pneumonia. Mrs. L. C. Latimer and Miss Sa rah Carwile have been visitors in Hartsville, with their niece, Miss Mary Lucia Mobley. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Dobey.have moved into town from their farm, and a oordial weloome is extended them by every one. They are dom iciled on West Main street. Dr. J. D. Chapman preached on Sunday last at the Baptist church. For this month he is representing the Edisto Academy, and the cause that he presented was well received, and a good contribution was given for the Institution. The last meeting of the Mary Ann Buie Chapter, U. D. C., was held with Mrs. E. D. Moyer, Mrs. James White presiding. The meet ing was a most encouraging one, this being tjge largest attendance of any meeting! during the year. All reports of officers and committees showed each one actively engaged. Four new members were added to the Chapter Toll, Mrs. W. E. Lott, Edgefield; Mrs. Ida Stevens, Meet ing Street; Mrs. Ollie LaGrone and Miss Eula Taylor. Tber.e were cor dially welcomed into, the Chapter. Mrs. Lott is a charter member of the organization, 1896, but after making ber home elsewhere, she has had her name withdrawn. It was her father. Capt. W. D. Allen, and father-in-law, Mr. William Lott, that brought about the organization of this Chapter. So it is a peculiar pleasure to again have her name on I the roll. The visit to the County Home on I Thanksgiving was told of, and the service held for the inmates. Plans for the Lee Celebration were discussed, and|the matter was left with the historian, Mrs. O. D. Blaok. Several other matters per taining to the Chapter welfare, were discussed. The meeting was turned over to the historian, Mrs. Black, but she stated that as the reports from the General and State Convention were so fall of informing matter for the members, she had arranged only a short program. She gave several points of inter est concerning the recent Conven tion in Union along historical lines. A flag will be offered next year for the best historical work, and she was very ambitious for the Chapter to again have the distinction of be ing the first in the State. She was a guest of honor at the Convention, and upon reouest, gave a paper on "How We Did lt." The report of the General Con vention given by Miss Emma Bouknicht, was very interesting. The Chapter was delighted to have her go, and thus not be represented by proxy. The report of the State Convention wafs told by the dele gates, Mrs. M.T. Turnerand Miss Zena Payne. Mrs. White, who at tended, also gave what most im pressed her. Awhile was spent so cially, and the hostesp, assisted by Misses Clevie Moyer and Maud Saw ( yer, served ices and cake, which wa? greatly enjoyed. 1 Mr. Will Sawyer attended the Southern Commercial Congress in Norfolk, Va., on Dec. ll, 12 and 13th, going as the representative irom South Carolina. He was ap pointed by Gov. Manning. Spelling Bee a Success. The spelling bee which was giv en in the court house Friday night by the Daughters of the American Revolution was well attended. Sev eral hundred, besides the large num ber who entered the contest, assem bled to witness the spelling. Mr. E. H. Folk acted as schoolmaster, deporting himself with the ease ol a veteran teacher. The referees were Prof. Lyon and Mr. Thur mond, who decided all matters in dispute. It was a surprise to many that Edgefield has such a large num ber of good spellers, several hours being required to "spell them down" The record showed that the capi tal prize offered for the best speller wa3 won by Miss Annie Clisby. The best speller among the ladies was Mrs. J. G. Edwards ano! there was a tie between Hon. B. E. Nich olson and Col. L. W. Cheatham for the honor of the beat speller among the men, so they cut the big cake offered as a prize. Among the gra ded school pupils the honors were won by Isabelle Byrd and Benjamin Cogburn, and Miss Nita Ouzts and Strom Thurmond wop the high school prizes. The occasion was exceedingly pleasant for al', who attended, and the "Daughters" added about $35 to their treasury. Agents Wanted at Good Pay. ? - F.

GEORGIA WOMAN GAINS TWENTY POUNDS ON FOUR BOTTLES OF TANLAC. SUFFERED 15 YEARS. DOCTOES HAD TOLD HEB THAT No MEDICINE WOULD DO HEE ANY GOOD. "I i have gained twenty pounds since taking Tanlac and ray im provement in every way has been so great that when I stand before the looking-glass I am actually amazed and hardly know myself," was the remarkable statement made by Mrs. Elizabeth Jennings, of Hepsibah, Ga., to the Tanlac representative at Howard's Drug Store, at Augusta, Ga., a few days ago. "Fifteen years ago," continued Mrs. Jennings, "my health began t ) fail, and the mor? medicine I took the faster I seemed to go down hill. My troubles multiplied until they were many, and my condition became complicated and very seri ous and no one seemed to under stand it. My stomach was.in such bad shaoe I could not digest any thing, and what I would eat seemed to poison my system. "My blood was thin and my arms were covered with spots. My back about my kidneys ached and hurt me dreadfully, and I was told I bad spinal ?effection. The rheumatio pains all over my body were so aw ful they were hard to bear, and my bead ached me constantly. I lost flesh and strength until I got so weak I could not walk to my gar den without help and I kept going down until I was simply a physical and nervous wreck, and I believe I was all but dead. My condition w?s too awful to even desoribe and [ cannot tell you half of my suffer ing. "When a d.vy wQuld close on my miserable existence I could think ii nothing but another day of sui* fering tomorrow, and I was so nerv )ur and racked with pain I could not sleep. "I wanted to live, and my hus band spent thousands of dollars trying to get me well, but nothing iid me any good. The doctors said Lhere was no medicine that would help me. Finally, I became so weak and out of heart I prayed to die, .' "When I read about the wonder ful help other people were getting from Tanlac I bought a bottle and began taking it, and I began to im prove a: once. I have t ken fou_ bottles now, and honestly I would ?ot take ten thousand doLars for the difference in the way I feel now and the way I felt the day I bought my first bottle of Tanlac. "I oan eat now and enjoy my meals, and when night comes I can lie down and sleep like a child. I i do not bava any more trouble with my kidneys and the hurting I used to have in my back has left me and all the rheumatic pains have gone. My blood has thickened ap and seems to be in good condition and those ugly spots have left my arms aud my head does not aohe me any more. I do Bot know what all was the matter with me, bat I have been relieved of all my suffering and, as 1 have already said. I gained tweu ty pounds in weight betides. * Tan lac has made anew wo? man of me and I feel better than I have 8ince I was sixteen years old." EDGEFIELD COUNTY. Edgefield, Penn & Holstein.
