Silver Tea For the Public Xi brary. "On- Monday afternoon the oivic League gave a silver tea for uie en largement of the present library. Miss Marie Abney, who has be?n so unselfish in her work for the library, and Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, the presi dent of the Civic League were in charge. A large number of ladies and some of the gentlemen of the town were present. Miss June Rainsford explained li brary methods to those assembled, in a very interesting manner. Delight ful iced tea and sandwiches with mints were served. The silver offering will go toward the sustenance of the library. Child Bitten by Mad Dog. Monday afternoon the little son of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Corley of the Cle ora section was bitten on the upper lip by a dog that appeared to have hydrophobia. It was at once killed and the head carried to Columbia and an examination indicated that the dog was affected with rabies. The lit tle child was carried to the madstone of Mr. Bush in the Philippi section but the stone did not adhere to the wound. The Pasteur treatment is al so being administered. The parents of the dear little boy have the as surance that those who take Pasteur treatment after being bitten by a dog with rabies rarely ever become the victim of the disease. There is every reason to believe that the little fellow is safe, yet his parents are taking ?very precaution. Mrs. Jas. S. Byrd Entertains. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Jas. S. Byrd entertained delightfully for her many friends. The occasion took the form of a rook and bridge party. The hall, parlor and dining room were filled with tables at which sat a host of card enthusiasts. Dorothy Perkins roses were used for decoration.

Holstein had won the first bridge prize, while the consolation fell to Miss Annie Bee. Misses Elizabeth Smith and Ju lia Roddey drew for the rook prizes. Miss Roddey was the winner. ' Delightful refreshments, consist ing of iced tea and a salad course, concluded the happy afternoon. Two Young Soldiers Conva lescing. Almost without exception our sol dier boys have come back home from the training camps, from the navy and from overseas duty, greatly im proved physically. It is true that sev eral who have reached home sustain ed slight wounds from which they will finally recover. The announce ment that Major W. A. Collett and James 0. Sheppard have arrived in New York and are in government hos pitals has been greatly depressing to their friends. When they left Edge field for ovrseas duty both of these young men were strong and robust, being 100 per cent physically fit. They were both victims of influenza during the winter and are now suffer ing from some after effects. We trust that they will soon recover and secure honorable discharges. Hardy's Letter.

Breaking Overland Model 90 Travels Seven Days and Nights Without Stopping Motor COVERED 4,370.1 MILES Gear Was Sealed in High, Making Hardest Possible Test on All Car's Work ing Parts. Remarkable automobile perform' anees are not as frequent these days as they were four or five sea sons ago; the American automobile manufacturer has attained so very high a standard of product. That may explain why so much unusual attention has been attracted dur ing the last few days to a new world's performance record made by an Overland stock car, Model 90. New from the factory, this Model 90 was taken from the salesrooms of the Carhart Motor Company at Oklahoma City, Okla., on March 29th, and driven to the lobby of the Lee-Huckins Hotel. There the gear shift lever was disconnected from the low, middle and reverse gears, and the gear-box was seal ed in high. Thc motor was start ed; the car left the hotel and did not return for seven days; that was April 5th. - The Overland 90, driven by a re lay of four drivers, ran night and day, the motor never stopping for 168 continuous hours. The drivers had no advantage of gear shifting during the two days of rain on muddy roads and the twelve to fif teen hours they spent each 24 hour day on good and bad city pavements, in the rush of traffic, and on the Oklahoma roads. It has been said that if a motor car will stand up on an Oklahoma road, it will endure in any other section of the world. In these seven days and nights during which the gear could not oe shifted from high, nor the motor stopped for carburetor adjustment or spark plug change, the Model 90 broke the world's record for a test of this kind. The speedometer, care fully checked, showed that it had traveled 4,370.1 miles. That is prac tically one-sixth around the world, or a distance equal to a trip from New York to Los Angeles and back across the southern trial to Oklaho ma City. This remarkable non-stop perfor mance in high gear exceeded the next best record ever made by 129.1 ' miles. Another unusual record was afc tained by the four drivers of this Oklahoma car. The A. A. A. record for a 24-hour non-stop, gear-sealcd in-high run is 587 miles. That mile was made in Chicago, several This closed a most delightful day, I anly wishing that this fond parent's j *n birthday would come quarterly and.wl lot annually. After wishing her all mj the best things that come in the evan- ? ing time of life and that God would ?pare her to come back to her "home, ;weet home" at Winterseat, to enjoy tier "going away" to the Celestial City whose builder and maker is God, to these kind friends, who carried us there and all who made the time jo pleasant for us, we can with per petual thanks say, "We only wish :here were many just like these, who :ould lighten many like weary heart, ind make glad those of us who are ,iot quite so fortunate." May God's richest blessing rest on Mrs. Ellen Youngblood and her noble rirls, Misses Bessie and Leilah, who ire their mother's chief joy. Mrs. Manly Timmons of Edgefield is another daughter of Mrs. Young blood. The Edgefield Chapter, U. D. C., will hold their annual election on Tuesday afternoon, June 3rd, at the residence of Mrs. J. G. Alford at 5 o'clock. For the Historical program, there will be a celebration of Jeffer son Davis' birthday. A full attendance is requested. Please notify the hostess. MRS. A. A.

A. A. record. That was the third day an afternoon and night of rain with muddy going under the axles. The car then fell eight miles under the mark, but its performance was so unusually high that it averaged 624.3 miles for each day of the 168 hour run. The motorist is interested in tests of this kind only as they point him to some feature of economy in oper ation and upkeep. The test made by E. R. Carhart, Overland distributor in Oklahoma, appears to be replete with such features. The judges of the contest were the president of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, and the managing editors of the two leading daily newspapers.

The captain of the driving team was Linn Math ewson, well known in the east and middle west as a famous racing driver on the speedway tracks. He is now the retail manager for the Carhart Motor Company at Okla homa City. The Oklahoma public was advised in advance of the test.- The daily newspapers bulletined the progress of the run each day. In addition to that publicity, Mr. Carhart ar ranged to flash on the motion pic ture screens of the city, the car's mileage every four hours. The run' was officially started by F. W.
