Banquet in Honor of Mr. Everett. Tuesday night the large, modern ly appointed dining room of the Dix ie Highway Hotel presented a lovely scene. Nearly half a hundred ladies and gentlemen attended an elaborate banquet given by the superintendents , of the several departments of the Ad dison Mills in compliment to Mr. Henry C. Everett, Jr., of Boston, the treasurer of the company. Mr. T. A. Hightower, the superintendent of the mill, who acted as toastmaster call ed upon Mr. A. R. Sharp to invoke divine blessings upon the occasion. .The bountiful menu was served in courses and at the conclusion of each -course. Mr. Hightower called on some one to speak. Those who responded were Mr. A. S. Tompkins, Mr. J. H. Caughman of Columbia, of the South ern Railroad, Mr. J. L. Mims and MT. M. B. Tucker. At the conclusion of the feast Mr. Everett, the guest of honor, was called upon. After ex pressing his great pleasure in being able to meet and mingle with those connected with the Addison mills, he referred to business conditions, the depressed condition of cotton mills along with all other lines of business. Mr. Everett explained why it had been necessary to make two. reduc tions in the wage scale of the mill. The mill is making hospital material for the government which is used in dressing wounds. During the war this sold for $1.43 per pound, while now the price is 45 cents per pound. Mr. Everett made a splendid impression upon all who heard him. His open, frank and very sincere manner in spired confidence. The occasion was a very pleasant as well as_ profitable one, and all regretted when the time for parting came. At the conclusion all stood and Mr. Sharpe dismissed the very auspicious occasion with a brief invocation. ''Death Loves a Shining Mark" The poet spoke truly when he penned these words: "Death loves a shining mark." Not only was the pass ing away of our beloved young friend, Dozier Lynch, last week a striking instance of death cutting *3own a young man on the threshhold .of a career of unusual promise, but xwice before in Edgefield has this statement of the poet been very strik ingly exemplified. In connection with Dozier Lynch, we refer to Thomas H. Rainsford, Jr., and John C. Sheppard, Jr., all contemporaries and about the ?ame age. Not since the writer has been old enough to observe the af fair? of Edgefield do we recall three young men of such exceptional worth as these. How often it is that young men, whose parents, are abundantly able and willing to give them every possible educational advantage, fail -to improve the golden opportunities at hand. Not so with these. All three were college bred men, completing the full course with honors. The first to be claimed by death "was Tom Rainsford who graduated from the Citadel with honors. The next claimed was John Sheppard, who likewise was an honor graduate of the University of South Carolina, and the newly made mound in the village ?cemetery marks the last resting place 'nf Dozier Lynch, an honor graduate of Davidson college, the last of this trio of young men who, during their short span reflected such great honor upon Edgefield. Truly, "Death loves a shining mark." A large shipment of dresses in taffeta and crepe-de-chine in any :shade you want arrived this week, prices reasonable. ,.;rJoS5^.

Hol stein, Jr. It has been suspected for some time that Cupid had some plans in Edgefield concerning the lives of two popular young people but their friends did not know that a consum mation of these plans would be real ized so soon. We refer to the mar riage of Miss Margaret Cothran and Mr. J. D. Holstein, Jr., which occur red Tuesday afternoon in Aiken at the residence of the officiating min ister, Rev. Mr. Henderson, pastor of the Presbyterian churchof Aiken. To many of their friends the marriage was quite a surprise. Mr. Holstein and Miss Cothran motored to Aiken, being accompanied by Misses Ruth and Grace Tompkins, Elizabeth Smith, and Margaret May and Mr. Perry Whatley. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and MTS. Holstein left for Florida to spend a month. The bride, who is a beautiful and veiy talented young lady, was the only daughter of the lamented Mr. and Mrs. Wade S. Cothran of Abbe vilile, who since the recent death of her father has been making her home in Edgefield with her aunts, Mrs. Su I san B. Hill and Mrs. W. C. Tompkins. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J.. D. Holstein who has been very successful in the automobile business. The Advertiser joins his host of friends in wishing that the future may be fraught with all possible good fortune for him and his charming young bride. Upon their return from their wedding journey Mr. and Mrs. Holstein will make their home with Mr. Holstein's parents, Mr. and Mrs Julian- D. Holstein, on Main street. Edgefield Music Club Has Dis tinguished Visitors. The Music Club was entertained on Wednesday of last week at the home of Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman, when a most delightful program was given, Miss Arual Lebby of Sumter and Mrs. N. G. Cooner of Columbia. Miss Lebby has a remarkable lyric soprano voice, and added to this is her personal magnetism and dramatic gifts. She is a graduate of Coker Col lege where she went to take the reg ular literary course and piano. One day as she was practicing or attend ing to something in one of the music I rooms she was singing to herself, all unconscious that she was expressing herself in a gift that had not been recognized. The teacher of voice Miss Rowland, passed the door and overheard this spontaneous warbling of one of nature's masterpieces, the human voice. She immediately spok to Miss Lebby and urged her to cul tivate her unusual gift. This she be gan to do and studied voice while she was at Coker under Miss Rowland who now has a private studio in Bos ton. Miss Lebby studied voice two summers in Greenfield, Connecticut under a specialist of renown, and the winter of 1920 in Boston study ing voice. While there the beauties of her voice were so recognized that she sang in one of the most promi .r.ent of the churches of that city and was a part of the Boston Symphony Concert during a part of the season Miss Lebby is a cousin, of Misses Minna and Annie Bee, and .Mrs. R A. Marsh. She sang two selections at the Baptist prayer meeting on Wednesday eveninng. Mrs. Cooner was also considered a musical prodigy at Coker, where as Miss Lizzie Calais she finshed the mu sic for a degree in two years, after wards teaching in the Batesburg High School. She then met Mr. Cooner of that family of musicians by nature andtraining and a romance culminat ed. Mr. and Mrs. Cooner now five in Columbia. Mrs. Cooner and Miss Lebby were entertained in the home of Mrs. Till man, and at te3? with Mr. and Mrs. J. L. MIms. At the Music-Club, Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Blalock were made honorary members. They had planned to have the music club to meet with them, but on account of the sad death of their friend, Mr. Dozier Lynch, they had to defer this. The refreshments serv ed at MK. Tillman's home were pro vided; by Mr. and Mrs. Blalock. It has been decided to offer musical prizes for the pupils of Miss Fannie Sheppard and Miss Margaret May. Card of Thanks.

Clemson College, March 12.-Re cent issues of the Weekly News Notes stressed the importance of purebred seeds, particularly those of our main crops, cotton and corn. As has been stated, only standard va rieties of proven- merit should be used, avoiding the so-called "specials" which have been handed down from one generation to another with only limited local improvement. The object of seed improvement is to acquire the best yield and quali ty from least land at minimum cost of production, suggests J. F. Carhery, Extension agronomist. Pure bred ?seeds occupy, no more land, require ;no more fertilizer, or care, yet yield .larger and better returns, i Keeping s?eds up to highest stand lards requires field selection, identi-J fication of plant and crop germina tion test, and application of good judgment,, each factor contributing to success as a whole. During the past few years, we have been able to sell nearly every thing whjch we produce and frequent ly there was little difference between the price of high grade produce and I that of low grade. But we have reach ed a time now when quality is going to be very important in marketing what we raise. It will pay to have the best quality possible. When You Feel Rheumatic.
