Every teacher and every school
trustee in the county should come to

meeting of the County Teachers' As
sociation and to attend the luncheon
to be given in their honor immediate
ly after the meeting by the ladies of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
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
report 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
other teachers for an exchange of
ideas and methods. The indifferent
teacher is generally in thc 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. Recently he and
his father and brother purchased
about 300 acres of land from Mr. H.
H. Sanders in the Antioch section.
They will be very desirable additions
to the citizenship of the county.
Do you need any printing such as
letter heads, bill heads, envelopes,
programmes, circular letters, cards,
etc? The Advertiser job office is bet

Mr. A. J. Day, one of Trenton's most
progressive merchants, in which he
adveitises special prices in hosiery.
Read his advertisement and then tell
him you saw his bargains offered in
the Edgefield Advertiser.

ville, Fla., and Mr. Ira Armfield, ed
itor of the Saluda Standard, spent

roommates. It is needless to add that
they spent a very pleasant day to
gether at the Dixie Highway Hotel.
They are both men of the highest
character and are making good,- re
flecting honor upon their alma mater.

new undertaking
AH 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
school 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 bc both pleasant
ami profitable to all who come. Im
mediately after the adjournment of
the teachers' meeting thc ladies of
the Woman's Christian Tmperance
Union will serve a luncheon in the
dining room of the hiprh schood build
ig in compliment to the teachers and
school trustees of the county,. All of
them should be present, unless provi
dentially hindered.
A Good Medicine For the Grip..
George W. Waitt, South Gardiner,
Me., relates his experience with the
grip. "I had the worst cough, cold
and grip and had taken a lot of
trash of no account. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the only thing that
has done me any good whatever. I
have used one bottle of is and the
coid and grip have left me."

! 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.
The luncheon will be served to all
who come whether it be a hundred or
ten. Come and be one of the hundred.

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
mcrman-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
not be neglected, so the continued
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 thc
harm in wanting to know what your ;
friends had to eat at a dinner or j
party? At any rate the newspapers j
know the people want to hear, or they i
wouldn't be publishing it for% their j
benefit. It isn't just idle curiosity j
either, it is genuine interest, and '
a desire to know, that they may see j
if they themselves can follow suit on j
some succeeding occasion.
At least a half dozen people had
asked this question and it was with j
genuine pride anti, pleasure that the i
request was granted by those *vho
were privileged to be a guest on this
happy occasion. Perhaps this is the
reason it was not in the paper. Some
times*a friend says "Why did you
not tell me that bit of news before?" j
and the answer is, "Oh, I thought I j
had told you," when the fact it was I
to another that the news was told.
Immediately after the beautiful
marriage ceremony had taken place,
by which time it was near thc 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.

Wilson Planning to Write Book
on Peace Conference.
Washington, Jan./ 30.-President
Wilson is having collected and ar
ranged for ready reference all pa
pers and documents in his" possession
relating to the work of the Paris
peace conference with a view to the
preparation of a book on the peace
negotiations.
Thc president in making these
preparations, it was learned today,
has accepted the volunteered ser
vices nf Ray Stannard Baker, who
was attached to the American peace
commission. Mr. Baker during the
past two weeks has spent several
hours each day at thc White House
putting into shape all available data
on the peace conference in the presi
dent's possession.
While it is not believed that the
president contemplates beginning the
actual work of writing or dictating
thc proposed book, during the few
remaining weeks of his term of office,
it is understood that he has in mind
the inauguration of real work upon
it shortly after his retirement to pri
vate life. It is known that Mr. Baker
has only undertaken the task of ar
ranging the material and that his du
ties do not include in any way the
literary workmanship.
Friends of thc president are un
derstood to have urged upon him
for sometime past the desirability
of recording from the viewpoint of
an official American participant
events of ^such .monumental impor
tance as took place in Paris during
the peace negotiations. They have
pointed out that one who played such
a major role as he and whose deci
sions later became the subject of
such violent controversy both in the
United States and abroad could not j
afford to lose the opportunity of sat
ing before the world the motives be-1
hind the many disputed decisions, as
involve Shantung, Fiume, . Danzig, j
thc Anglo-Franco-Amcriean alliance
and thc Russian question.
Officials close to the president
hav? said recently that whatever the j
president might write after his re
tirement from the White House,
would not be autobiographical in j
form, as thc president's preference j
has always been towards history as J
a form of literary expression.

of the American commissioners, had
prepared a book which takes issue

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 for colds, croup and whoop
ing cough. Its pleasant taste and the
prompt cures which it effects has won
the good opinion of mothers 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 sings at dawn,
Fills you with music too.
It's love sweetest impulses stored
For a rainy day;
It'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.
