Home Again. ] Edgefield has almost ceased to t 'have sensations, that is we have s had so many experiences that it has c become more difficult to stir the j public, but when any of the former . boys come home again and show love j and appreciation for their native heath, there is commotion. This was ? the condition of affairs on Monday f. .and Tuesday in our town when Frank _ "Fair, John Boykin and Sherrard Ken a nedy came over from their splendid '.homes in Atlanta, distinguished citi- * .zens of that great city, in a handsome r .automobile belonging to Mr. Fair ?and had a good time in our town with the friends and companions of their s youth. These sons of Edgefield had I been planning several years to come over together and enjoy such an oc casion, and the dream really came true. All the old and middle aged inhab itants of Edgefield knew these ab sent boys when they were young and .even infants. Mr. Kennedy was the brother of Professor Robert 'Kennedy -who taught the Edgefield school suc cessfully about 1889. He was the 'small brother who left here a bare foot boy Carrying with him memories -which he returned to enjoy. He said "he"had -never, before this visit, walk ed on the Edgefield school grounds -with shoes on, and he felt like re averting to the barefoot days. He is now the cashier of the largest bank .'in therSouth, the First National Bank of Atlanta, and highly esteemed for his integrity, and no one to see him would believe from his youthful ap pearance that he is married and has children almost grown-up. John Boykin spent all his child hood days here, and talked about the first school he ever attended taught by Miss Mollie Gwaltney, in the of .'fice -which , stood in the yard of the home now occupied by Mr. Orlando Sheppard. Only very small boys were allowed to attend this school and girls and young ladies. Rev. W. T. Hundley taught then in the old Academy. The Boykin family moved to Mt. Carmel when he was young, and from there he went to Atlanta, studying law and becoming a can didate for the office of solicitor gen . eral of Fulton county. He has been elected two terms, the last time in ' September, receiving the largest number of votes of any candidate 'for any office in that county in which Atlanta is situated. Mr. Fair left Edgefield more re cently-than the others is still known and loved as Frank. He went to school in the Academy too, and says it is a sacrilege to have torn it down. He has made good as everyone knew he would, and has a lovely home and a wife and dear little girl. Edge field friends have visited his hos pitable home in Atlanta and par taken of his generous hospitality. On Monday evening Miss Kellah Fair entertained some friends of yore in honor of her guests, Miss Vir ginia Addison and J. L. Addison, Mrs. P. M. Feltham, Mrs. A. E. Pad gett, Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman, Mr. and Mrs. Bettis Cantelou, Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Nicholson, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Can telou and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Minis. Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Jr., enter tained them at dinner on Tuesday and Miss Virginia Addison Tuesday evening at tea. Ladies are often the recipients of such social attentions, but men are not often so honored. Edgefield is proud of her sons, and is glad of their success, and wel comes them with open arms. Women go to the Polls. The women of South Carolina will have their first opportunity to vote on November the. second. Don't let that opportunity go by without cast ing your ballot. Go to the polls and vote. Some may say that your vote will not count this time so there's no use of your voting. Don't listen, you are a qualified voter and wheth er it makes any difference in the general election count or not you do your duty. ? The county chairman of the League of Women Voters wil lap point a woman at each voting pre cinct to be at the boxes with her com mittee, so that any woman who may feel a hesitancy in going where there are only men may know there will be a committee of women present. Miss Marie B. Ames in her first lesson on citizenship has this to say of election day: On election day the actual pro-' cess of electing the electors; differs according to states, bufc tn any event whatever the method^ the votes do not elect the president and vice-presi dent but merely the electors. In the State of Iowa the names, of the elec tors appear on the primary ballot but do nqt appgar 9fl the ballots on glgg-. tion day, The nsmei of the presiden tial candidates do, but in voting for the names, the voters of that state, simply designate which set of elec tO'?l w*sn chose.n If a majority of voters vo*e ^or *ne democratic candidates then'ill? democratic elec tors re chosen, or vice versa.- in other states the names of the electors ] under the party he?lSig appear and %re voted for accordingly, while in still other states the names of both candidates and electors appear, al ;hough the votes are, of course, given I mly to the electors. Thus it will be seen that the party able to command the greatest num jer of votes in each state received he whole electoral vote of that ;tate. In a few instances a state has livided its electoral vote. Naturally f the voter wants a democratic pres dent she will vote for the democrat c electors. All women who are duly register :d must take their registration cer- . ificate with them. They will not be equired to have poll tax receipts, is they have not yet been subject i o this tax, but they must take the ; egistration certificate. Make your vote count!!! -Anderson Daily Mail.
