Hading. i We trust that the shortcomings | of this issue of The Advertiser will j be overlooked, as the editor as 1 Chairman of the County Registra tion Board, has devoted much of the past week to the registration for military service. Precinct registrars are requested : to be on the alert for persons who failed to register June 5, reporting 1 them to J. L. Minis, chairman of ! the County Board of Registration. Miss Minnie Lanham and Miss Florence Minis left Thursday for Black Mountain, N. C., to attend the college Y. W. C. A. conference ? at Blue Ridge. They will be away for about two weeks. The harvest of June brides throughout Edgefield county will be above normal. It appears that Cupid arranges for a "match" about every other day at Johnston and Edgefield is also establishing a new record. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Padgett have gone to Greenville to attend the commencement of the G. W. C., where Miss Gladys Padgett receives her diploma, having given her grad uating music recital in that historic school ven recently. Edgefield will send a good dele gation down to Sweetwater church , to attend the third annual memorial service. Several very able addresses will be delivered. The members of Sweetwater church deeply regret that their pastor, Rev. E. W. Rey nolds, has resigned to accept a pas torate in Sumter. Recently Mr. Herbert Dorn bad young: Jersey cow to stray from hie farm, and a week passed before he found her, being* under the im pression that the cow had been stolen. The cow was found in a ditch with her neck broken. He was offered ?40.00 for the cow the day before she disappeared. Mrs. J. Maner Lawton, Misses Julia Folk and Hortensia Woodson left Edgefield on Tuesday morning for Washington to attend the great Confederate re-union. Miss Julia Folk goes as the .Sponsor for the seconds.

King, the shrewd forger and de frauder. However instead of bring ing their prisoner to Edgefield, they placed him in the penitentiary, the iail at Edgefield be regarded as un safe. King will probably be brought to Edgefield for trial during the July term of court. Our summer terra of court of general sessions convenes now the last week in July instead of the first week in August. Registration Figures. Complete returns from the fifteen precincts in the county show a total registration of 1,853. Of thisnum 3er 511 are white persons, 1,33G colored and six foreigners.
