Should Have Chautauqua.
, Through its spring Chautauqua
just held Trenton has set Edgefield a
?good example. Chautauquas cost
something but they are worth what
they cost and more to a community.
Why accumulate wealth at the ex
pense of our manhood and woman
hood? That which develops our citi
zenship along right lines should have
first place in a community's budget
of expenditures. Let's not have an-,
other season pass without a Chautau
<|ua for Edgefield, cost what it may.

Edgefield'* Needs.
While knowing ones tell us that
Edge?eld is not suffering as acutely
from the sudden deflation as some
other parts of the country, yet others
tell us that business is better in some
sections of the State than here. Doubt
3ess, paradoxical though it may seem,
.both statements are true.
Some other towns that are situated
Un the heart of an agricultural region,
. ila which crops were not as good last
;year as they were in this county, are
N ^suffering more than Edgefild. But
towns that are supported by regular
industrial weekly pr bi-monthly pay
arolls, in addition to their agricultural
backing, are in a far better plight
than Edgefield, whose only support,
practically, is the farms of the coun
ty. All of our eggs are in one basket,
consequently when farming proves
unprofitable every other interest suf
fers in the like manner. _ - - m
Edgefield needs several industrial
enterprises that would not only afford
profitable employment for a consider
able number of men and women but J
?would regularly put cash money into
circulation that would benefit every)
.line of business. This would in turn
?beue?? the farmers also by providing j
ra larder local market for country pro
? duce.
Edgefield needs a laundry, can-?
-,-nery, chair factory, a bakery, wood
- working plant and other similar small
^manufacturing plants. Such enter
prises pay elsewhere. Why would they |
-nd.t-.pay in Edgefield?
Educate Your Boys.
Two lasting benefits are derived
'from educating a boy: First, the boy
"himself is inestimably behefitted
:through being fitted for a larger
: sphere of activity, A well-rounded
??education" broadens, deepens, sweet-1
i-ens, ennobles life. Education means |
^-expansion and ignorance means
contraction. The second bene
-ciety and humanity at large. These
thoughts came into the writer's mind
as we read the following item in the
xmrrent Weekly News( Letter sent
.out by the Department of Agriculture
;?n Washington:
"B. H. Rawl, assistant chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
.'States, Department of Agriculture,
ihas resigned, effective April 30, to
t?ke charge of the educational work
of the California Central Creameries.
He will have headquarters in San
Francisco.
"Mr. Rawl Ls one of the most wide-1
ly known dairy specialists in the
world. A native of South Carolina, he
is a graduate of Clemson College. He j
took special work in dairying at Penn-1
sylvania State College and the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. He has been
with the Department of Agriculture
for 16 years. He inaugurated the edu
cational work of the Dairy Division
in the Southern States and later was
placed in charge of all the production
work of- the division. He was appoint-j
od chief of the Dairy Division in 1909
and assistant chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry in 1918. He has
been largely instrumental in bringing
about the great advance of the past
decade dr sp in scientific dairying."
We do not know Mr. Rawl but
the name leads us to credit him to
either Saluda or Lexington county.
Suppose Mr. Rawl or his parehts had
been satisfied with merely a common
school education, and had made no
effort to send him to Clemson col
lege, how great would have been not
only his lo?s but the loss to his State
and the entire country. We are told
that in addition to his training at
Clemson he took a special course in
dairying at Pennsylvania State Col
lege and at the University of Wis
consin. Through the enlarged vision
which Clemson gave him he was in
spired to climb'higher and higher un
til he has aboutireached the top round
of the ladder ofWccess in his chosen
field. How different would his life
have been, and how great would have
been the loss to the dairy interests of
the country, had he remained at
home, satisfied to lead a narrow and
contracted life!
Encourage your boy to press for
ward until the capstone is put on
their education. Completing the high
school or one year at college is not
enough. Mr. Rawl would never have
been the scientist that he is today,
had he stopped short of a college edu
cation. What has been penned here
with reference to educating the boys
applies with equal force to educating
the girls. One is as important as the
In Loving Memory of Little
George Lanham.
"Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to Heav'n conveyed
And bade it blossom there."
On last Tuesday night, April 12,
at ten o'clock the Death Angel enter
ed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben L.
Lanham and took from the loving and
tpnder arms of the young and devoted
mother, the second child, little George
Fr?derick, aged 5 years.
Heaven is sweeter to us since little
George is there. He was too good,
sweet and pure for this sin cursed
world and sq Cod took him home to
be with Him-where lillies will ever
more bloom.
Though deprived of his eyesight
from birth, he always seemed so joy
ful and carried such a sweet angelic
smile. He will be missed in thehome,
and especially.' will the two little
brothers and sister miss him in their
daily play.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock
by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Barnes.
The pall-bearers were: Messrs David
Timmerman, G. D. Boswell, Lenwood
Timmerman and Clarence Atkinson.
The little body was laid to rest be
neath a mound of beautiful flowers
which had been arranged by loving
hands. Little George is waiting with
out-stretched arms to embrace Mama,
Papa and all the other loved ones,
and by the bjessing and grace of God
this humble writer shall try to meet
George at the pearly gates.
"Goodbye, George; to mortal sight
Thy vermeil cheek no more may
bloom,
No more thy smile inspire delight
For thou art garnered in the tomb.
Rich harvest for the ruthless power
Which hath no bound to mar His
will
Yet, as in hope's unclouded hour
Throned in my heart, I see thee
still."
Lovingly,
"AUNT DOLL."

Fine Art of Cooking Rice.
Bluerice can be cooked so that it
is flaky and so that each grain re
mains separate, say food specialists
in the United States Department of
Agriculture. To obtain this result
wash the rice thoroughly, boil it in
a large proportion of water, and do
not overcook.
To one cup of dry rice, use 4 or 5
quarts of water, and one teaspoon of
salt. Wash the rice through several
waters until all the loose starch is re
moved, and drain it. Have the boil
ing irater ready in a deep saucepan,
add the 3alt, slowly drop in the rice,
and allow it to boil rapidly for about
15 or 20 minutes, or until a grain
when pressed between the thumb and
finger is entirely soft.
In order to prevent the rice from
sticking to the pan, lift it if neces
sary from time to time with fork, but
do not stir it, for stirring is likely to
break the grains. When sufficiently
cooked, turn the rice into a colander
or ? sieve, and after the water has
drained off, cover with a cloth and
set over a pan of hot water on the
back of the stove or in the oven; or
turn the rice into a shallow pan, cov
er with a lid, and place it in a warm
oven for a short time. Treated in
this way the grains swell and are
kept separate.
Meeting of Civic League.
The regular meeting of. the Civic
League was held in the Library Mon
day, April 18th, at 5 o'clock with
Mrs. J. G. Holland presiding.
After repeating the Lord's prayer
many plans were discussed, among
them being final arrangements for
Clean Up Week. The inspection of
yards will take place Friday morning.
Also final arrangements were made
for Miss Ruth Tompkins' play which
will be given Friday night in the
Opera House for the benefit of the
Civic League.
It was suggested that we confer
with the manager of the moving pic
tures to see if, by co-operating and
advertising the pictures, the League
could not get a per cent., of the
profits at stated times.
Some tourists have passed through
our town and found this a. desirable
place to stop. They expressed a wish
for a camping ground on the out
skirts of town. These wealthy tourists
travel mainly for-the out door life,
and if a town does not welcome them
as campers they go miles out of the
way to avoid the town. Mrs. Will
Dunovant, Sr., Mrs. Edwards and
Mrs. Feltham were appointed to meet
with the Chamber of Commerce and
present this idea.
The president was requested to as
sure the Chamber of Commerce that
the League will back them in protest
ing against the raise in telephone
rates. We need modern telephones,
and should have them if the rate is
increased.
Two book cases have been present
ed to the Library, one by Miss Vir
ginia Addison and one by Mrs. J. G.
Holland.
The Civic League desires more
members and urges every woman in
terested in the up building of our
town to join and attend the meeting.
A Lyceum entertainment was an
nounced for May 5th. .

Taking the Medicine.
j Don't you remember when you were
a little boy
And ate all those green apples,
How what happened after killed all
your joy
As the pain in your stomach grap
ples?
And didn't they make you so awful
sick
That for days you hoped to die?
For mother with castor oi1 came quick
And at the sight of it-oh my !
Protest as you would you just had to
take
Two tablespoonsful of the stuff.
While cold chills of disgust were mak
ing you shake
As you swallowed, gee whiz, it was
. tough!
And that being over you felt better
and better
Each day till you regained your pep;
And you begin to forget how pains
like a fetter>
Had you where death was just a step.. [
And business it seems to the writer
of this creed
Is passing through the castor oil
stage;
We are getting just the kind of physic
we need,.
Our business pains to assuage.
After taking such a diet, a prosperity
gorge,
When money came to us so easy,
We splurged .too much, and now, by
George,
We feel kind of sick and crazy.
But its only the medicine that now
makes us sick,
Though its drastic as such remedies
are;
It will pull you through, the thin and
the thick,
But please remember the "jor!"
