Edgefield boom consists in just one new building after another. After all, it is a fine thing that the advance in cotton came after the planting season was practically at an end. If Abbeville can have an eighty five-hundred-dollar fire engine, it seems that Edgefield might have one of some kind. The biggest man on American soil to-day, President Wilson being in Europe, is Sergeant York, the great est hero of the World War. Wonder if wedding presents have advanced like everything eise? We'll all know after the June weddings are over. Edgefield's postmaster received 50 baby chicks by parcel post a few days ago. He would not be surprised next to receive a real baby. The people of Abbeville are in the throes of a campaign and primary e lection tp fill a vacancy in the office of county treasurer. Th?y have our sympathy. If the size of the Victory Loan ? subscriptions can be taken as a test, ! the American people are all right 100 per cent loyal. The subscriptions will_aggregate five and a quarter bil lions of dollars. . ?The sooner the Huns sign and set their house in order, the. better it will be for them. There is.no questioning the fact that they have made the .rest of the world . dance and - now they m,ust pay for the music. jj - ? The newspaper folk will be in mighty good hands when they assem ble in Greenville for their annual meeting. For climate, hospitality, in tellectual and heart culture, the Mountain City is not easily surpass ed. It seems that the international court, too often like our State courts, is rather slow in meting out justice to! the red-handed criminal. The old kaiser should been made to answer for his nameless and numberless crimes against humanity before now. If those Germans arouse the "Yanks" again, they will not stop short of Berlin. The fact is most of the returned soldiers who saw real service at the front are of the opin ion that the Stars and Stripes should have been unfurled in Berlin before an armistice was agreed to. Help Along the Hospital. There can be no questioning the fact that Edgefield needs a hospital. Every county in the State should ?s^ tablish and maintain a county hos pital. There is sufficient wealth in Edgefield ^county to easily establish such an institution here and if inter est and enthusiasm are aroused a mong the people of every section, a hospital can be built. Talk to your friends- and. neighbors about the hos pital. Tell them of the advantages of. getting- special treatment ,here at lome. One of Few Breaks. President Wilaon raay>not have.in-j ??ded it but he mad? wine and b?er t$ck go up by leaps and-bounds, pur ?resident, who is right about 'fiinety-4 line times out of a hundred but oc casionally, like the balance of mor ftals, makes a slip, seemed, for the: time, to forget that citizenship ret rogades in proportion as the interests ofiwine and beer are advanced. The belief1 is current that congress will not adopt the president's suggestion kabput repe^dmg the wine and beer ?anse of the prohibition measure, we rather hope it will not." Annual Press Meeting. June 30 and July 1 and 2 have been fixed as the time for holding the animal meeting of the South Caro lina Press A~;-ociation in Greenville. Our hosts in the Mountain City are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the newspaper makers of South Carolina. Besides a game of baseball each afternoon, a barbecue in the mountains and an automobile trip to Asheville, a ban quet and dance for the young people will be given the last night. There will also be o!;her entertainment fea tures. The Imperial Hotel, which is one of the most modern and best appoint ed hotels in the State, will be the as sociation headquarters. The business sessions will be held in a large recep tion-room on the second floor of the hotel-an ideal place. An attractive programme is being arranged, so as to make the occasion one of real profit as well as pleasure. Hon. Josephus Daniels, secrejfcayy of the navy, has been invited to deliver an address Monday night and another speaker of force and national repu tation will be invited to deliver an address Tuesday night. The railroads will issue transpor tation in exchange for advertising to all persons who desire to attend. As this is an off year in politics and the war clouds having about disappeared, everything points to a large atten dance. I Unusual Photo Drama. Hailed as one of the most unusual photoplay productions of the year, "THE LUST OF THE AGES," direct from its extraordinary New'"York run, will be shown in the Edgefield Opera House Friday night, May 30. The Ogden Pictures Corporation, the producers of "THE LUST OF THE AGES" have inaugurated a program of eight releases for Miss Walker with a photo attraction that has been pronounced by the trade critics to mark a new era in the si lent drama. "THE LUST OF THE AGES" is built along the lines of a tremendous spectacular production with neverthe less a story that is gripping and in tense to the extreme. The play depicts the unholy alliance of wealth that re sults in the destruction of all that is good in man. In line with its policy to release only* extraordinary attrac tions, the Ogden Pictires Corpora tion have spared neither time nor ex pense in the staging o?: this produc tion: Every element that tends toward a successful cinema attraction, enters into this product??nrPulsating" with heart interest and pathos and a strong trend of humor characteristically por trayed in the acting of Miss Walker, wonderful\scenic effects with the em ployment of thousands of sheep, tre mendous sets, together with a most unusual photo drama. It was only through special ar rangements that the Manager of the Edgefield Opera House has been able to secure this attraction even for a limited run.
