Mr. W. P. Gordon's business as public cotton grader is picking up as activity increases in business circles. He went to Trenton yesterday and graded 163 bales of cotton and has orders to grade several hundred more bales. Those Trenton farmers are wise and know the advantage of hav ing their cotton graded. The new system of working the roads adopted by Supervisor Ed munds seems to prove satisfactory. He appoints overseers and they no tify all persons who prefer working on the roads to paying the road tax repoit for duty on a certain day. Mr. L. Y. Bryan has recently worked thc road from the town limits to his home by way of the Gary place. You can form some estimate of a school teacher by their interest in the County Teachers' Association. An alert, active teacher who is eager for new ideas and new methods is always glad of an opportunity to meet with j other teachers for an exchange of ideas and methods. Thc indifferent teacher is generally in the teaching profession for the salary and nothing more. The Advertiser is pleased to learn that Mr. R. H. Adams has decided to make his home permanently in Edge field county. He came to Edgefield about two years ago to engage in the saw mill business.

Do you need any printing such as letter heads, bill heads, envelopes, programmes, circular letters, cards, etc? The Advertiser job office is bet ter equipped than ever befroe for doing all kinds of printing. In this issue of The Advertiser will be found an advertisement of Mr. A. J.

Young College Mates. Capt. B. F. Gaines, now of Gaines ville, Fla., and Mr. Ira Armfield, ed itor of the Saluda Standard, spent Sunday in Edgefield.

Mr. Parks has many friends who wish him all possible good fortune in his. new undertaking. All Teachers and Trustees Expected. On account of the very unfavor able weather, it was decided last Thursday that it would be the part of wisdom to postpone the holding of the teachers' meeting and the lun cheon to the teachers one week, until Saturday, February 5. At that time the trees were breaking down with ice and the roads were in a dread ful condition. Some of the teachers did not receive the notice of post ponement and came Saturday last, the day at first selected. Those who came then and all other teachers and i-"chool trustees in the county are in vited and urged to attend the meet ing of the teachers and the luncheon by the members of the W. C. T. U. next Saturday, February 5. We be lieve the day will be both pleasant and profitable to all who come. Im mediately after the adjournment of the teachers' meeting the ladjes of the Woman's Christian Tmperance Union will serve a luncheon in the dining room of the high schood build ig in compliment to the teachers and school trustees of the county.

Teachers' Association Next Saturday. It was genuinely regretted that there should have been a condition last week which interfered with the meeting of the Edgefield County Teachers' Association. The snow and the rains made it impossible for a full meeting of the teachers to be held especially those from the rural districts. This is to renew the invi tation for the coming Saturday, when the Woman's Christian Temperance Union will serve a luncheon to all those who come and hope by the de lay to have a better dinner than they could have had last Saturday. There will be no postponement this time. If roads are impassable make your plans to come by air plane or by rail, or come the first fair day and stay over.

Item of Interest Omitted From Timmerman-Williams Wed ding. Sunday morning coming from the Presbyterian church, a lady accom panying the writer said "You did not mention in The Advertiser any thing about the dinner at the Tim merman-Williams wedding. Why was that?" The reply was that it was written because the delinquent scribe remembered distinctly the process of thought gone through in planning what was to be written. "No,"- said the lady, "not a word appeared about the dinner." Such an oversight could J not be neglected, so the continued jr account of a most delightful occasion is herewith added. There is one rule of etiquette which is continually broken and that is the one which forbids the asking uf what the hostess had to eat. It is a very foolish rule too, for what's the harm in wanting to know what your|\ friends had to eat at a dinner or j c party? At any rate the newspapers j y know the people want to hear, or they ! 1: wouldn't be publishing it for^ their benefit. It isn't just idle curiosity either, it is genuine interest, and a desire to know, that they may see if they themselves can follow suit on some succeeding occasion. ? At least a half dozen people had t asked this question and it was with j1 genuine pride and. pleasure that the i i request was granted by those ?diojt were privileged to be a guest on this j i happy occasion. Perhaps this is the i ^ reason it was not in the paper. Some j 1 times'a friend, says "Why did you!' not tell me that bit of news before?" j t and the answer is, "Oh, I thought l!l had told you," when the fact it was to another that the news was told. Immediately after the beautiful marriage ceremony had taken place, by which time it was near the noon hour, friends began to enter with the refreshments, a bountiful and well selected menu for the noontide, consisting of chicken salad, turkey, cranberries, crackers, pickle and several varieties of delightful sand wiches, passed more than once. When the first course had been finished hot coffee and whipped cream with fruit and pound cake were served, followed by mints^vhich have become an indispensable accompani ment or ending to a wedding feast. . It was a most appropriate and bountiful dinner for the noon hour and enjoyed by all the large number of guests. F. A. M. FOR SALE: A good farm mule. Apply to H. A. Smith. 2-2-1tpd.

P. er < Vilson Planning to Write Book on Peace Conference. Washington, Jan./ 30.-President Vilson is having collected ai.d ar anged for ready reference all pa lers and documents in his" possession .elating to the work of the Paris leace conference with a view to the ?reparation of a book on the peace legotiations. Thc president in making these ?reparations, it was learned today, las accepted the volunteered ser 'ices of Ray Stannard Baker, who ras attached to the American peace :ommission. Mr. Baker during the >ast two weeks has spent several lours each day at thc White House ?utting into shape all available data m the peace conference in the presi lent's possession. While it is not believed that the ?resident contemplates beginning the ictual work of writing or dictating he proposed book, during the few .emaining weeks of his term of office, t is understood that he has in mind he inauguration of real work upon t shortly after his retirement to pri rate life. It is known that Mr. Baker ias only undertaken the task of ar ranging the material and that his du ies do not include in any way the iterary workmanship. Friends of the president are un lerstffod to have urged upon him :or sometime past the desirability >f recording from the viewpoint of m official American participant ?vents of -such .monumental impov ;ance as took place in Paris during he peace negotiations. They have )ointed out that one who played such i major role as he and whose deci sions later became the subject of j such violent controvei'sy both in the United States and abroad could not ilford to lose the opportunity of set ng before the world the motives be lind the many disputed decisions, as involve Shantung, Fiume, . Danzig, ,he Anglo-Franco-American alliance ind the Russian question. Officials close to the president lave said recently that whatever the president might write after his re Direnient from the White House, would not be autobiographical in form, as the president's preference ias always been towards history as i form of literary expression.

Announcement was made several weeks ago that for mer Secretary of State Lansing, one of the American commissioners, had prepared a book which takes issue in several important chapters with decisions made by the president. This book is to be released to the public March 5th, the day after President Wilson retires from office. An Informal Luncheon. Mrs. W. L. Dunovant of Edge field, president of the Congaree Presbyterial, Mrs. J. B. Stillman and Mrs. F. S. Flanden were charming ly entertained ' on last Thursday at noon with luncheon at the Rosemary Tea Room.-Columbia Record. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a Fa vorite. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a favorite with the mothers of small children fer colds, croup and whoop ing cough. Its pleasant taste and the prompt cures which it effects has won the good opinion of mother's every where. As this remedy contains no opium or other narcotic it may be given as ?confidently to a baby as to an adult. Kindness. "Kindness weaves a golden thread In the silver cloth of life. It's moonlight when dark paths we tread, It's a star that leads from strife. It's sunshine on a chilly morn, That warms you through and through; It's a song bird that sii -s at dawn. Fills you with music too. It's love sweetest impulses stored For a rainy day; lt's opening spreads delight where soared Clouds of gloom and poverty. Kindness brings a rich reward, too, When it's freely given; For it will return and bring back to you The key to an earthly heaven. W. S. G. HEATH.
