Prudential Rates I am a Candidate for the Prudential Hundred Thousand League this Year Help me to the goal, that I may win one of the best Life Insurance trips. I have a good start so far of the one hundred thousand. As we have something better than others, and something better than usual, I feel warranted in a good sum advertising expense to inform the people. To give you an idea of the dependable soundness of the PRUDENTIAL'S Policy and its popularity, the Company' issued and revived more Life Insurance in one year (191G) last year, than any other of the more than 260 companies operating in the U. S. had in force from its entire record of existence, excepting eight, ac cording to the Blue Book published by the Spectator Company in 1916. !

It has the lowest rates with annual dividends, further reducing the premiums. The policy is plain with no catches. The policy pro vides without cost, that if the holder becomes physically disabled, he is excused from paying the premiums, and this without effecting the policy. You can surrender a 20-pay life policy with annual dividend off at the end of 20 years to the Company for more cash than you have paid the Company.

Celebrated Seventh Birthday Several hours of Tuesday after noon were made to seem very short to the little folk who were honored with invitation? to the birthday party of little George Edward Shep pard which wa9 given by him at the home of his grand patents, Mr. and Mrs. Orlando Sheppard. Vari ous contests and games that are of especial interest to children were engaged in until all grew weary aod then they were refreshed by delicious ice cream and cake. A number of the guests presented the popular little host with some token of affection and the host presented each guest with an attractive whistle, some thing that every little boy prizes as much as big brother does an auto mobile. The pleasure that each little guest derived from the very delightful occasion is reflected or evidenced by a remark made by one little fellow upon reaching home: "When I have a party I want one just like George Edward's." Hundreds of Acres of Food Crops. While in Charleston last week, the editor of The Advertiser took an automobile ride of 15 miles one afternoon up the Ashley river to Magnolia Garden, which is uni versally conceded to be one of the beauty spots of the world. A de scription of ita bewitching beauty, at this seasoD, would baffle a poet. However, that is not the feature to the joy-ride which we set out of1 mention. For almost the entire distance we passed through fertile acres devoted exclusively to truck farming. How we did wish, at this time when growing foodstuffs is being stressed, that hundreds of Elgefield county farmers could sie the sights of the Ashley. Much of the land had been drained and several hundredacres plantedin Irish potatoes, beets and cabbages, all ex cept the latter being about ready for market. In some of the potato fields-not patches-there were scores of negro women at work stooping as if they were picking bugs from the potatoes. The speed at which our chauffeur was traveling made it impossible for us to see just what was being done by this small army of low-country women. The acres upon acres of food crops pre sented an inspiring sight. Upon our return home our few rows of potatoes appeared as only a grain of sand on the seashore. However, if the bugs will not be too greedy, we hope to make enough potatoes "to do us." Early Closing of Stores.

Car roll would speak caused a large number of Edgefield people to as semble in Macedonia church Sunday afternoon, almost half of the assem blage being white people. Rev. Carroll and his work are well known in Edgefield. He has been visiting Edgefield at intervals for nearly twenty years, and attracts a larger number of persons to hear him each succeeding visit. His address Sunday afternoon was preceded by appropriate remarks by Mr. Orlando Sheppard. In his ad dress Rev. Carroll gave his hearers some wise counsel, never at any time using language that would arouse the prejudice or displeasure of any reasonable minded person. He urged the white people to be al ways kindly and just in their deal ings with negroes, and urged the ne groes to render honest and faithful service. He also advised the ne groes to remain in the South instead of yielding to the allurements of Northern agents. His address was well received in the afternoon, and at night he again spoke, but espec ially to the colored people. While Rev. Carroll is in the em ployment of the Baptist Home Mis sion board, at this time he is engaged in the cause of ciyic or food preparedness, and along this line gives his people some advice which will be of great profit to them if heeded. Whenever Rev. Carroll comes to Edgefield hereafter he will be cor dially welcomed, as he always proves to be helpful to the people among whom he mingles.
