Edgefield Chapter IX. D. C. was
held at the home of Mrs. Jos. H.
Oantelou on Tuesday afternoon, the
13th, conducted by the president,
Miss Gladys Rives, who opened the
business session by a repetition of
the Lord's Prayer in concert.
The first business to come before
the chapter concerned plans for
Memorial Day. Miss Rives , an
nounced her committees and Mrs.
Woodson read a tentative program.
No speaker has yet been selected
and the matter was left iu the hands
of the president. The exercises
will be held in the opera house and
a picnic dinner will be given on the
grounds of thfi Baptist church. Mr.
James O. Sheppard will be master
of ceremonies,.and all veterans, their

The next business of importance
was the choice of delegates and al

the 29th of April, and the arrange
ment8 for taking the members of
the chapter who signify, their desire
to attend. The following delegates
were elected: Mrs. Mary C.Marsh,

the ladies down, and as many as can
go down are urged to do so.
Mention was made of the practi
cability of writing the conference to
meet with our chapter in April 1921.
It was moved, seconded and unani
mously decided to ask for the con
ference for next year.
We feel that our chapter has
been highly honored, in that one of
our members, Mrs. P. M. Feltham,
has been selected to make the re
sponse to the address of welcome
for the district.
A committee was appointed toset
in place the new Confederate mark
ers wherever it is found that they
are to be put. This committee is

C. Marsh and Mrs. Curran Feltham.
This is to be done before Memorial
Day. All persons who wish graves
marked are requested to notify any
member of this committee, and
identify the graves.
Mrs. Marsh suggested that Mrs.
M. E. Barker, who for many years
has been an efficient, active mem
ber of the chapter, should be made
an honorary member- This sugges
tion was put in the form of a mo
tion and carried.
Mrp. Woodson moved that Mrs.
David William Thomas, the sister
of Mr. Thad Strom, who has made
us so many Memorial Day talks,
should also be made an honorary
member, This was seconded and
carried. Mrs. Feltham proposed
the name of Mrs. James Hungerpil

i
Meeting of Agricultural Commit
tee Chamber of Commerce.
j Several days ago A. B. Carwile,
chairman of the agricultural com
mittee of ihe Edenfield Chamber of
Commerce, called the agricultural
committee together for a discussion
of the problems facing the people
interested in tbe welfare of the
farming interests of the county.
Among the things taken up the
most important to us just now is
the matter of securing a cotton
grader for the county. The benefit
of such a man cannot be told in
such a short space. We shall only
point you to the other sections of
the State where the graders have
been instrumental in raising the
price of cotton several cents per
pound where they have been at
work. Anderson can be cited as
one of the best examples of this
worthy work during the past year.
The question is just now ia do we
want a cotton grader bad enough
to go into our pockets and bring
out a few dollars to pay the salary
of this man? The Chamber of
Commerce thinks we do. The next
work will be getting the farmers'
clubs of the county and the Cham
ber of Commerce at Johnston inter
terested, and we can ea^i'y put across
a piece of work that will mean many
dollars in the pockets of the pro
ducer, where they have been giving
to the buyer heretofore.
Another item mentioned ' is that
important matter of club work in!
the schools of the county. Mr.
Carwile reported that he has never
been able to do the club work with
the boys of the county that should
be done. The committee agreed to
get together to raise several prizes
to put up in order to encourage this
work among the boys of the county.
Also, steps were taken to arrange
for a club show at the court house
in case tbe work is a success, and
for the holding: of a short course
for the club members.
Farmers Get Together.
During the past week the farm
ers of tbe Harmony and Trenton
communities held meetings at their
respective schools. County Airent
Carwile reports several things of
interest taken up by these men.
The Harmony people plan to build
a storage house for sweet potatoes.
Quite a bit of discussion was given
to bringing into the community a
bull out of a dam of 500 pounds or
more of butter fat, for the purpose
of building up the grade milk cows.
The county agricultural agent will
do more work along this subject.
Other things taken up were run
ning cotton breeding: tests for indi
vidual and community good, corn
testing plots, co-operation to push
the cotton association work through
out the county and the securing of
a county cotton grader.
At the Trenton meeting the farm
ers decided to form a permanent ag
ricultural club to meet several t^mes
during the year. This club will
endeavor to do everything for the
agricultural good of the commu
nity, laying particular stress on the
continued success of the asparagus
industry, on pushing tbe swine in
dustry so as to make Trenton a
hog sectiou of the State, on promo
ting the growing of peanuts and
sweet potatoes as substitutes for
cotton under weevil conditions, and
devoting a great deal of attention
to the breeding of a standard corn
for the community a?d on improv
ing the cotton varieties to suit their
conditions after the boll weevil be
gins to take a portion of the crop.
This club will co-operato with the
county agricultural agent, the Cot
ton Association and all forces in
the county and State that are work
ing for the good of the farming
people.

Resolutions Adopted by Berea
Church.
All partings cause more or less
sadness, but there is a peculiar sor
row which attends the severing of the
ties binding a church and.her pastor.
This fills our hearts as we look back
over the six years and five months
during which Brother H. B. White
has so faithfully ministered unto us
as our pastor.
Since he feeling that the time has
come for him to give up this pastor
ate and has tendered his resignation,
with the request that it be accepted
the first of April,
Therefore, be it Resolved
First, That we, the members of
Berea Church .accept his resignation
with deep regret.
Second, That we hereby express
to Brother White our sincere appre
ciation of the thoughtful and helpful
sermons he has given us, as well as
of the influence exerted over our
lives by his strong Christian charac
ter.
Third, That we assure him of our
heartfelt gratitude for the constant
and earnest prayers he has made for
us, and the sympathy and love he has
shown us.
Fourth, That our love and our
prayers shall attend him when he is
no longer our pastor and that we
ask God's guidance of his steps and
richest blessings upon him in his
work.

ence, April ll, 1920.
