Miss Patti Major is due great cre dit for having secured such a splen did delegation, and for the general impetus in our county towards the conservation of food and the proper preparing of it, in the canning and poultry raising industry, as well as in gardening by the children and young people. Miss Major has proven her real worth to our county and has not only been worthy, tut is also highly appreciated. Very Patriotic People. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Norri? and the editor of The Advertiser went up to the Sullivan and Fruit Hill schools Monday to present the War Sayings Stamps to tlie good people of that section. About ten o'clock a representative body of white peo ple gathered in the Sullivan school house, the meeting being presided over by Mr. J. P. Sullivan, who re quested Mr. Jasper J. Mayson to oller a prayer. The occasion was a very inspiring one. As a result of the rally pledges to the amount of more than *1,300 were taken for War Savings Stamps. The people manifested such a loyal, patriotic spirit. The committee from Edge field enjoyed every moment spent with them. The ladies also organ ized a War Savings Society. We accepted an invitation to take dinner at the beautiful and very hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Sullivan near the school house. We enjoyed a beautiful feast, notwithstanding the fact that Mrs. Sulivan made it conform in every detail to Mr. Hoover's regulations. The great variety serv ed attested Mr. Sullivan's energy and successful management, and the beautiful manner in which it was served reflected great credit upon Mrs. Sullivan. In the afternoon, accompanied bj Mr. J. P. sullivan, Mr. S. W. Sul livan, Mr. G. R. Mayson, Mr. Gus Winn and several other patriotic white citizens, the committee wtnt to meet the colored people at Fruit Hill school house. They were promptly on hand and likewise manifest a loyal and patriotic spirit. After the War! Savings Stamps were explained to them, following a patriotic appeal, they responded generously, pledges being received for more than $2,300 worth of stamps. We do not believe, consider ing the ability of the white and col ored people of that section bordering on McCormick and Greenwood coun ?ties, that any other people in the State have surpassed them. The day was thoroughly enjoyed, both morn ing and afternoon, by each member of the committee from Edgefield. Neither of them will have to be urg ed to visit this community. The peo ple have proven what splendid people they are. They are loyal, patriotic and generous. New Red Cross Auxiliaries. On last Thursday afternoon Mr. Shannonhouse, chairman of the Edge field Red Cross chapter, went with the extension committee to organ ize an auxiliary at Roper's Cross Roads. After short talks by Mr. Shan nonhouse and the ladies, the auxil iary officers were elected. Mrs. W. L. Timmerman was made chairman; Miss Sallie May Miller, secretary; Miss Emmie Lanham, treasurer. A very pleasant discussion of the different departments of work now being done by the chapter resulted in a request for a number of gar ments to be given at once to the aux iliary. On Friday afternoon Mr. J. R. Timmerman again placed his car at the service of the extension commit tee, thus helping in the organization of an auxiliary at Cleora. A number of ladies assembled at the schoolhouse, Cfficers were elected and a request made for immediate work. The Cleora officers are: Mrs. W. T. Reel, chairman; Miss Janie Reel, secretary; Miss Alma Williams, treasurer. The Edgefield chapter is happy to welcome these two auxiliaries whose enthusiastic interest at their initial meeting gives promise of earnest, faithful service to the Red Cross. Annie M. Clisby.
