Learning to do Without. lt -is really remarkable how most people are learning to do without many things that were heretofore, especially in the past few years, con sidered imperative necessities. Hav ing but little cash available and with practically all of the stores discour aging credit, certainly long standing accounts, people have been forced to curtail their puchases. While it may prove to be somewhat inconvenient, this thing of having economy forced upon us, yet after all it is a fine thing. Nobody is actually suffering by not ?iaving every want gratified while they are undergoing this needed dis cipline. The war-time prosperity made money plentiful and also made credit too cheap, but with the turn of the tide we are all getting some needed training which will be helpful in the ?uture. ? ~* * * Let Nothing Prevent. .If your boy or girl has attained the college age, do not decide this early that you will be unable to send him .or her to college next fall. Conditions may improve before the opening of next session, and even if there is no improvement, let nothing keep your children out of school or college. There are not many things The Ad vertiser would advocate mortgaging your home for, but we would not hes itate one minute in the matter of sending your son or daughter to col lege. Never mortgage your home to 3xny an automobile, but do jiot hes itate in mortgaging it to send your son or daughter to college. It is the (iest possible investment you can make for them. After the college age is passed it is then too late. Say with all possible emphasis, "Come what may, my boy or my girl must go to j vcollege next fall." " v<Kl' ' ?. rr . ; ^sLufcf.?^-- ' - ; *' The Lord Provides. Much of our. worry and trouble is imaginary. We are always crossing bridges before we reach them. Early in the year, it appeared to scores and hundreds of farmers of this county that it would be impossible for them to farm this year. No way seemed open to them. At every turn they were face to face with a brick wall. Up to this time almost the normal acreage is planted in one crop or an other. By living one day at a time people have been able,'in the main, ito .carry forward their work in a ^reasonably satisfactory manner. Of /course none of us have any money, lout we ."have bscome resigned to that. The fact is, we- do not need so much . money when we lead a simple life. None of us are expecting a full or normal yield this fall, because we did -not fertilize in the usual way. But to offset this will be the small expense -J>ill. What we do make will be ours. The fact is the Lord is providing for us in this exigency as He always -Hoes, and after the period of read justment passes we shall look back and see that it all happened for the best. * * * . }. Negro Overseer Guilty. ,,The Georgia jury which passed up- , 'on the guilt or innocence of Clyde i Manning, the human implement with which the wholesale murderer, J. S. Williams, accomplished his diabolical deeds, has adjudged him guilty of murder "with a recommendation of m?rcy. This verdict automatically gives the negro the same sentence which was given Williams. It is. a re flection on the jury which tried Wil liams that he was not speedily exe- . cuted. Nothing short of swinging at the end of a good strong hemp rope, should be the fate of such .a brute. If he is guilty at all, and who would dare say he is not, he should have' paid the extreme penalty of the law. Manning has probably gotten what le deserved, but his penalty should not be as severe as that of William. By failing to suit Williams' punish ment to the degree of the crime, Georgia juries have gotten them selves into a rather embarrassing plight by giving Manning the same punishment as Williams. It is not that Manning's penalty should be less, Jbut that Williams' should be mere. Educated Motherhood. Although at times things seem to b? drifting from bad to worse in South Carolina, we do not believe it is true. South Qarolina will be ? bet ter State and a better place to live in a decade hence than it is today. Leaving- out all other contributing factors to this future betterment, we are forced to believe that the rapid ly increasing number of educated wo men will put the old commonwealth on a higher plane. There was a time in the history'of this country when it was regarded almost a crime to educate women, but that day is gone gorever. 'If the education of either sex had to be neglected, we would say educate the women first. There is no estimating the far reaching effect of an educated motherhood. As a rule a mother makes the home atmosphere and the home atmosphere largely makes the boys and girls. * * * * Our Schools First: Nobody is being criticized for it, but it is generally conceded that for several years Edgefield has not had as good public school as the town should have. Just what has been lack ing is not easily determined, yet it is a fact that some other towns of Edge- . field's size, and even smaller, have better graded and high schools than we have. It is probable that they have more funds available for school pur poses, but with the funds in hand it seems that our schools could be made to do more effective work. As all of the teachers resigned at the close of the session just ended, the trustees have upon them the Her culean task of re-organizing the tea ching'force. In this great under taking, they should receive the co operation of the patrons of ' the school. Do not criticize, but rather sympathize with them in this great undertaking. A mass meeting has been called for Thursday afternoon in the court house to consider matters pertaining to the school .Let as many of our people as possible, both men and wo men, attend this meeting, giving first place to our schools. Summer Session of School of Singers to be Held in Edgefield. The charm and atmosphere of Edgefield, South Carolina, are too well known by people of this section to need any further praise, but this summer it promises to add to its tra ditions of ante-bellum lore, the in teresting experiment of being the site of the summer session for the "School for Singers" under the personal guS pervision pf Signora De Fabritiis, whose artistic and personal success in the city of Augusta has been of amazing magnitude, considering the shortness of the time that this able musician has been in'the South. Signora De Fabritiis is one of those people who combine the "Art of Sing ing" with the "Art of Teaching." She feels that to each individual, his or her voice is their most treasured possession and in her teaching she builds painstakingly and with enthu siasm, not only the vocal instrument, and the musical side, but lays great stress on the development of the body and on the emotional significance of the art. This teacher, whose reputation was firmly established in the great center of culture in the East, for many years, is a firm believer in the value of intensive and continuous study for the voice student. The deli cacy of the vocal organ renders it particularly liable to disequilibrium, and in order to secure the perfect mascery of the instrument, frequent, if not daily lessons are necessary. The students who will be with Sig nora Dr Fabritiis this summer ses sion in Edgefield come from different parts of the South and we hope that they will find Edgefield an ideal spot for a summer school and that this movement started this year may be come a permanent factor in the edu cational life of OUT community. Mr. Quarles' Home Burned. Wednesday night of last week the home of Mr. Henry W. Quarles in the Red Hill section was destroyed by fire about one ?o'clock. The fam ily had supper and retired about the usual hour and were awakened by the heat or noise of the flarhes about one o'clock. The fire had made such head way when discovered that only a few articles of furniture could be saved. Mr. Quarles' loss was very heavy as he had only $700 in insurance.

Their marriage will take place Wednesday, June 8. While nothing definite has been generally known, concerning this approaching marriage, yet the visits of this young man from the Pee Dee section to Edgefield, naturally arous ed interest and speculation, making their plans which. were so quietly and secretly laid a subject of conver sation among their friends. Miss Ruth DeLoach is universally popular in Edgefield and the only regret among her friends in connection with her marriage is that she will leave Edge field to make her home permanently in Manning. Mr. Huggins is not al together a stranger in Edgefield, hav ing graudated from the South Caro lina Co-Educational Institute while it was located here. Many of our peo ple remember him very pleasantly. Death of Mrs. Walter Adams. . Early Monday morning Mrs. Wal ter S. Adams passed away at her home and the announcement caused much genuine sorrow in Edgefield. It was while on a mission of mercy Fri day morning ministering to Mrs. Tay lor, the wife of Rev. G. W. M. Tay: lor, that this good woman was strick en with apoplexy and she never re gained consciousness. Mr. Taylor found Mrs. Adams prostrate and un conscious on the piazza of the par sonage and she was carried at once, to her home but a few doors away. [She received the most loving atten tion from her devoted husband and other relatives and friends from the time she was stricken until the end came, but no human agency could re store her. Mrs. Adams was a devout Chris tian woman, one who never grew weary in well doing. She was an ac tive member of the Methodist church from girlhood, always cheerfully do ing her part in all of the church ac tivities. Before her marriage she was Miss Linie Horde. Mrs. Adams is sur vived by her devoted husband, their married life extending over a period of forty years. They had no children. The funeral was held at the Metho dish church Monday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. G. W. M. Taylor, being assisted by Rev. L. A. Peatross, rec tor of the Episcopal church. The in terment took place in the new vil lage cemetery. A Proclamation.
