The topmost topic in a few short weeks will be the "flu." * * * * This is extremely favorable weath er for the fellow who must hold on to his straw hat a little longer. * * * * With both sides unyielding, it is a sort of "flint and steel" strike throughout the North. * * * * If additional houses are not built in Edgefield, tents will have to be provided by the end of the year * * * * With men's shoes selling for $16.50 per pair in a near-by city, what would a man do if he were a quadruped?-Go bare-foot. Everybody wants to see the new > hotel going up. Unless something is . done soon, people may have to walk the streets some nights. * - * * * While the whole thing was dis graceful, yet one can hardly help wishing that the eggs which were .thrown at Senator Reed were stale. * * * * Atlanta has won fame from a new angle by having a street car conduc tor "knock down"-steal, to use ..common language-one thousand dollars in three months. . * * * * Wonder if those green-eyed, en .vious Republicans are now satisfied, the list of gifts to President and Mrs. Wilson having been made pub lic? * * * * With summer "lingering in the lap" of autumn, there will be no in . terim between the ice and coal bills. Generally we get a rest between the two seasons. * * i * With blank news paper selling for $140 per ton now, as compared with $50 per ton before the war, gives the reader some idea of what publishers are up against. * * * - Rape, murder, lynchings, strikes and forms of lawlessness too various and varied to chronicle are abroad in the land. What will the end of it . all be? * * * * If he can make good, Commission er of Agriculture Algood, of Ala bama, who has fixed the price of cot ton at 40 cents and the price of seed at $100 per ton, is rightly named. * * * * Unscathed by the World War, it seems that riotous Americans will consume themselves. Individuals, classes and political parties are grap pling violently at each others throats. * * ? * One reason people are not build ing more houses in Edgefield is be cause of the shortage of carpenters. It requires about three weeks now to get some one to build a chicken . even. * * * * Georgia has added another indeli ble scar to its escutcheon. Some times we almost wish the Savannah were broader. But seriously we do 7iot.! There are yet many good people in Georgia. * * * * Thirty thousand divorces were granted in Berlin within the past six month?. Can it be that many Ger man men showed themselves ter be such brutes the women refused to live with them? * * ? * This is the kind of "strike" news paper workers are engaged in : "Strike-for your altars and your fires! Strike-for the green graves of your sires! God, and your native land!" * . * * The black brute who shot dead two officers of the law while in the performance of their duty in Green ville shou?d' be given a seat'in the electric chair in the shortest possi ble time. Society and the State gain when such a depraved life becomes extinct. World Sustains Heavy Loss. Countless sacrifices have been made by individuals and people of the uarth during the past five years, but none have had as far-reaching consequence as the sacrifice which Ignace Jan Paderewski, the world renowned pianist has made. People who are capable of judging, have pronounced him to be the most gift ed living performer upon the piano, the queen of instruments, and yet he has given up his art for his country. Poland has gained by having the pi anist become the Premier, but the world has lost heavily. It requires more than one generation to produce a Paderewski, and it seems a pity beyond expression that he should be ?all?d upon to make the sacrifice. Paderewski was the man of the hour. Towering above his fellows, he seemed divinely raised up to save Poland for itself and for the world. No one else could have done it and Paderewski says that he is happy in the sacrifice for his country. Although it has now' been two years since Paderewski gave up the j ; piano, let us hope that after he shall j I have established an orderly govern- j j ment in Poland he will be -seized with not only an impelling desire but an 1 i irresistable sense of duty that he re- ? j sume his place in the forefront of ? the musicians of the world. Then ! Poland will have profited and the .world will not have lost altogether. * + * * Great Day for Baptist Church. Although the week appointed for J closing the 75-Million Campaign was fixed for November 30 to December 8, Dr. R. G. Lee announced about 'three weeks ago that he would ask the members of his church to raise their apportionment the first Sunday, in October. Having completed the1 I campaign for his church early,' he ! j would then be free to assist other j churches in the association in raising their apportionment. ' In season and out of season (if ' there could be a time out of season ?for such work) for the past several weeks, Dr. Lee has planned and la bored to the end that everything be in readiness for the climax on the .first Sunday. At the morning hour ?he made an earnest and effective ?presentation of the great enterprise, i greatest the Baptists of the South have ever undertaken, and then gave the ; lo in opportunity to state volv 'ii:rice of pre ey -. :-.." five chi::--"h v el ... v ..

Promptly at the appointed hour for the night service the house was well filled with persons eager to hear the result of subscriptions of the day.'Before the announcement was | made by Dr. Lee, no one else being in possession of the information, many persons could read Victory in his beaming countenance. The figuresi that carried joy to every heart were $51,656, which was about 30 per cent, more than the church's quota of $40,000, others are yet to sub scribe. Dr. Lee announced that he would not preach a sermon and after singing several songs of praise he ' stood on the lawn in front of the church and shook the hand of every person present. Dr. Lee has been heartily congratulated upon the suc cess of his effor;s. Memorial Services.

Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Mason and children of Callison spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs? N. F. Manly. Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Parkman visit ed relatives in Columbia during the past week. Mr. and Mrs. McKie Bailey are re joicing over the birth of a daughter, who will be called Carrie Rachael. Master J. P. Timmerman celebrat ed his second birthday last Wednes day afternoon. Mrs. Wilson Pardue has returned from a visit to relatives in Columbia. Mrs. Carrie Bailey has returned to her home near Callison from an extended visit with relatives here. Misses Ruth and Grace Herin are visiting relatives near Johnston. The Private Soldier. The private soldier represents the noblest type of patriotism. He enters the service with no higher aspiration than loyal service to home and coun try; he freely casts his life in the scales of hardships and danger with unflinching courage. Staring fate in the face, he prepares to stand or fall for his honest convictions. No allur ing promotion prompted or tempted him to deed of valor. It was patri otism and pride that stimulated and encouraged him. Half starved, half clothed, barefooted, with nothing but a full cartridge box, a trusted rifle, a brave heart and a steady nerve fully describes the Confeder ate soldier in the "sixties." We see the private soldier at his home in Sparta, bidding farewell to mother and friends, on the Acropolis and at Athens, his armor glittering in the sun-light of a Greek day. It is at Thermopylae that we see the Per sian and Greek die like men. One re joicing at a victory, the other sigh ing over defeat, both heroes. In Gaul with Caesar in the forum of Rome, he proclaims a truth for which he will die. No doubt when under pe culiar circumstances officers and men stood motionless in the,face of the enemy, unable for the instant to com prehend the situation, and some hum He private at the critical mo ment seized the colors and rushed to the front shouting, "follow the flag." ? The act proved' an inspiration and a resolute charge swept the field, changing the tide of the battle. ? The private was indirectly the in strument through which armies mov ile ucvcr-bu-oe-iorgotten yell of our<troops as they charged the panic stricken enemy on the countless fields still echoes in our ears. Its inspiring music that rose above the battle storm of First Mar.assas re sounded down the bloody fcur years ?P of the struggle, to the fields cf Ap pomattox, where shrill notes wer2 heard as the last charge was made. No tongue can ever describe the electrifying and heart-stirring im pulse it aroused. Memory withdraws the veil that shrouds the past and re veals a picture replete with glory and with woe. The Confederate soldier was un ique, both in war and in peace. "Our heroes" were without number or State distinction. They measured up to the highest standard of chivalry. No matter from what section or un 1 der what circumstances they were placed, the honor of their country was fully sustained and the ^.lory and courage of that imnr -tal host will live and brighten w h the com ing ages.
