Norris, and the music f< the afternoon was furnished by tl victrola, giving most artistic sele< tions from II Trovatore. Each person present who had a tended the Woman's Christian Ten perance Union convention at Johr ston was called upon to make a on minute extemporaneous speech o her impressions of the occasion. A responded, and yet the subject wa not exhausted, one lady rising twic after all had spoken and asking to the privilege of one more opportuni ty to relate an idea. A Standard of Excellence for un ions taken from the last Palmeth White Ribbon was read as a sugges tion for the Edgefield organization Mrs. Tillman, who has charge o: the citizenship studies announce? that Mrs. Rainsford would give a re sume of the chapter on State anc Federal Courts which she did mos' acceptably, and made even such ? dry subject entertaining. The hostess served ambrosia anc pound cake as the meeting adjourn ed. At the close of this Mrs. Mims read the two town ordinances on Sunday closing and the liquor violations, and the fact was emphasized that the Sheriff, Mayor and Council are on oath to enforce these laws, and that the Mayor has stated that he will not enforce the Sunday closing law, although it is an ordinance of the Town Council. On motion of Mrs. T. H. Rainsford, seconded by Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, and passed unanimous ly by the women, the Edgefield W. C. T. U. c- 'ed upon the Sheriff and the May:,, 'nd Council to enforce the Sunda;. .ing law and the pro hibition ei . rent law as printed in ordi" > and 47, and which they arc Lh to do. The Wo..iai?.. Christian Temper ance Union in its declaration of prin ciples is pledged for total abstinence and the enforcement of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and to use their influence for the enforcement of all laws relating to moral questions. This is why women have been striv ing for the ballot that their opinions might be counted when it came to a question of making the streets safe for their children io walk in. Glad stone said that the purpose of law was to make il; as easy as possible for people to do right and hard for them to do wrong. This is what we want the laws of our town and coun ty to do for our children. We do not want it to be easy for our boys to go into places on Sunday where they may buy cigarettes and cold drinks. Why have not the fathers of Edge field made the streets of our town safe for our boys as the mothers have tried to make our homes safe for1 them? We call for their loyalty. Mrs. J. L. MIMS.

Election Carried Unanimously. The corner of Edgefield county down near the river voted itself into McCormick county in the election yesterday. Three men and nine ladies voted in the affirmative and not a bal lot was cast in the negative. We al so understand that the portion of "Mc cormick county east of Turkey Creek voted itself back into Edgefield coun ty with only one dissenting vote. It is better for the people involved and for both counties that this exchange of territory was made. We regret, however, to see the good citizens down near the river leave the old mother county. They will make Mc Cormick good citizens. On the other hand we welcome back to us the por tion that has been in McCormick for the past few years. No Lawlessness! The Progressive Farmer laments the outbreaks of lawlessness that have resulted in burning of cotton gins and compresses in some parts of the South. We must have no law lessness. We have a righteous and dignified cause, and we must fight a clean battle. The ginners and compress men are not to blame for low prices. Wherever some fool disgraces our people by lawlessnes s, we must purge our re cord by helping bring the guilty per son to justice. There is no other course worthy of the honorable re cord and clean reputation which gen erations of sturdy and honest South ern farmers have handed down to us of today. We must keep this record untar nished.-Progressive Farmer. ? Prepare for "FLU" ls ?
