Tompkins, Jr., of Co lumbia, spent the week-end in Edge field with Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Tomp kins. Farmers are taking advantage of good condition of the roads, com paatively speaking, and are hauling commercial fertilizers in geat quan tities. Judging from the great number of <alls at this office for mortgages of personal property, people are giving and taking more mortgages than usual this year. Capt. P. M. Feltham, who has re cently undergone another operation ?at the Walter Reed Hospital in Wash ington, D. C., is spending a leave in Edgefield with his family. Our friend Gus Edmunds, is still enlarging. Rather we mean his popu lar boarding house is being enlarged by four additional rooms. The work is in charge of Mr. Heath. There is a demand for more stores as well as more residences in Edge field. There have been a rush of ap plications to lease the stores on the first floor of the new hotel. Senator J. C. Sheppard returned to his legislative duties in Columbia yesterday. Mr. J. L. Mims was detain ed in Edgefield until today on ac count of sickness in his home. There will be no let up in Edge field's boom. It has come to stay. The installation of water and sewer age systems will make the old town ?till more attractive to outsiders. Mr. John T. Nicholson is conceded to be the youngest man in the coun ty for his age. He is a visitor in Edge field to-day and is always very cor dially welcomed by his friends. Mrs. J. W. Peak is in Columbia for a day or two where she met her daughter, Mrs. Britton, of Sumter, and together they will be with Miss Willie Peak at the State Sanitorium. Miss Royal Peak who hold a re sponsible position as stenographer and book-keeper for a leading Insur ance Company of Greenwood, visited her father, and mother Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Peak recently. Miss Helen Tillman went to Athens last Thursday, having accepted an in vitation from the Atlanta Athletic club to the spring athletic meet at the University of Georgia. She returned to Edgefield Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Morgan, Jr., are the happy parents of a little daughter and as she was born on Sunday, the 29th of February, which was the fifth Sunday, she can not celebrate her birthday very often. The present legislative delegation will complete its legislative duties this week, as this week will mark the close of a long session of eight weeks. For the session of 1921 the people of Edgefield will elect an altogether new delegation, as none of the pres ent delegation will stand for re-elec tion. The ladies of the Baptist church held two very helpful days of prayer on Monday and Tuesday at the Bap tist church, following out the plan of self denial week for Home Missions. Some work toward having an early graden would not be amiss as the soil is sufficiently dry. Succulent veg etables in season not only reduce the cost of living but they raise the health average of the family. Mr. M. W. Shive, manager of the Davis Realty Company, has purchas ed the Dozier place midway between Edgefield and Trenton from Dr. J. G. Tompkins. This is very desirable as well as very valuable piece of property. The walls of the Dixie Highway Hotel are rapidly going up. If the contractors can get several weeks of favorable weather, the brick work would soon be completed. There has been but very little weather favor able for building since Christmas. The Hamilton Auto Company re ceived Monday a solid car load of Maxwell automobiles. This car is growing in popularity in this section. This is evidenced by the number that the Hamilton Auto Company are sell ing. It is announced from Y. W. C. A. headquarters in Columbia that Miss Frances Herbert who will sail in the summer for Japan as a Y. W. C. A. secretary, will speak in Edgefield in the interests of this great cause on March 23. Further notice will be giv en later. The Overland Four car is by great odds one of the best cars made for the money. They are sold in Edgefield by Mr. J. D. Holstein, Jr., and at Johnston by the Consolidated Auto Companys which is managed by Mr. J. P. Bland. Read their advertisement in this issue of the Overland Four. Our young friend, H. G. Gardner, who moved several years ago to Hel ena, Ga., is now one of the leading business men of that place. He is one of the corporators of a two hun dred thousand dollar enterprise of Helena. Edgefield men always make good, it matters not to what part of this old mundane sphere they go. The acreage in small grain is not as large as it should be. Many far mers were prevented from sowing their usual quantity last fall by the drought. Mr. T. P. Morgan was in Edgefield Monday and told The Ad vertiser's representative that he ex pects to sow spring oats. He stated that he has sown oats as late as the middle of March and made good oats. A number of farmers should follow his example. The Edgefield good roads bill which has now become a law is meet ing with general favor from the peo ple. Mr. W. H. Harling, cashier of the Farmers Bank, says it is the best piece of legislation of the kind he has ever seen. Mr. G. D. Mims speaks of it as a good piece of work that has come at the psychological moment. The people are anxious to have good roads legislation. They want to get out of the mud. Mr. Israel Mukashy's stock reduc tion sale has been well patronized. His bargains have attracted a large number of people. He announced this week that very low prices still pre vail at his store in order to reduce his stock to maka room for spring goods. He is sti'il giving one pound of sugar free to lavery customer who purchases goods to the amount of $5.00. See what Mr. Mukashy says in his half page advertisement this week. You can depend upon what he says. Little Beulah Lee Improving. Everybody in Edgefield has been greatly concerned for a week on ac count of the extreme illness of little Beulah Lee. From a merry, singing little girl who attracted everyone who saw her, she was prostrated by illness. But even then the doctor said she was the best little patient anyone could possibly have. She had been looking forward to seeing herself at the moving picture baby show on Sat urday night, but many of us feared she would be changed to another land of children by that time. With the prayers of such good parents as she has and the many others in our com munity and the devoted work and at tention of Dr. Tompkins and the trained nurse and other helpers, she is on the road to recovery.

Dr. McGIothlin at the Baptist Church. On the third Sunday in March, Dr. McGIothlin, President of Furman University, will preach twice at the Baptist church. Dr. McGIothlin is a scholar of great renown and an au thor of far-reaching influence. He is at his greatest when speaking on the things pertaining to the Kingdom. We should count it all joy to have this noted preacher and profound scholar and author to preach in our midst. The present plans are to have him preach in the morning at 11:30 to all who will hear him and at 3:30 in the afternoon to men only. Let none miss this opportunity. Slogan Contest Extended. The Slogan Contest will be extend ed until Saturday, March 6th. Sug gestions will be voted on by members of the Board of Commerce Tuesday night, March 9th. This opportunity is open to the people of Edgefield County. School children especially. Send in your suggestions to CAPT. 0. P. BRIGHT, Sec. How Enforced Prohibition Will Help Our Country. (Continued from Page Seven) Beyond, because as long as he is deal ing in whiskey he is committing a great sin, and there is no chance, in my mind, of his ever entering the Kingdom of God, for he is worse than the man who drinks it. He is making drunkards and wrecking happy homes, all for the sake of the al mighty dollar. Prohibition will help our bankers, merchants and farmers in their bus iness transactions. Ladies that are clerking and bookkeeping in the stores and banks will not be embar rassed by drunkards. Bankers will not be worried in making loans to drunkards, for it is embarrassing to turn down a good-hearted man that cannot pay his debts on account of drink. Clerks in dry goods and gro cery stores will not be bored by the drunkard, as they will have money to pay for what they get. Merchants are not bothered by their bookkeepers and clerks getting their books tan gled on account of being under the influence of whiskey. Our county officers will not Jan bothered with the drunkard begging for money to buy whiskey with. Pro-: hibition wlil help the county officers themselves, as they heretofore, have been accustomed to drinking with their friends. It will enable them to keep their books and accounts straight. There has been a time when it was dangerous for a lady to drive on a public highway for fear that she would meet up with some drunkard on the road. It is different now as we have prohibition. Without prohibi tion it would almost be impossible to travel the roads in automobiles, as whiskey and gasoline will not mix. The poor old horses and mules that the drunkards used to drive could be whipped and made to get back into the road. The automobile refuses to obey under the lash of the whip. Be fore prohibition, nine out of ten wrecks in automobiles were caused by whiskey. Prohibition will help the railroad men, because there are so many lives that are dependent on them. There are a great many people who claim that they can get all the whiskey they want but we are proud that a great majority of the men of Edgefield county are too proud to slip around to a bootlegger to get whiskey. Prohibition brings about energy and thrift, and helps to bring out the qualities of man. There was an old Irishman who liked rum, and he used to call it the DeviPs fire water, which name, I think, is very appropriate. I think it was intended for the devil and not for the men of Edgefield county. We have as good blood in the veins of the men of our county as there is ir? the world, high-toned, big-hearted gentlemen. Anyone who wants to see, can see that prohibition has already helped our county a great deal. One hardly ever sees a drunken man now. Why should not the men of Edgefield county be. as far from drink as the ladies are? Prohibition will help them to be. Prohibition for me once and al ways. Let us all strive to enforce pro hibition and we will always have it. FOR SALE: One good mare mule about 12 years old, weighs about 1,110 pounds. One registered Jersey bull four years old. L. D.
