In response to the call of the .J county- chairman, ? mpptirar-af the 1_ County Democratic "Executive ' com-'1 mittee was held Monday and eleven i of the sixteen clubs in the county ? were represented. The following res- 1 olution was introduced by Capt. J. R. Blocker: i Resolved by the County Democrat- ] ic Executive Committee in meeting assembled that while we recognize ] that it is within the jurisdiction of ] this committee to order an election to . fill the vacancy in the clerk of court's ( office caused by the death of the la mented Mr. W. B. Cogburn, but . owing to the fact that he had served j only six honths of his term of four ; years for which he had been elected without opposition in the primary last August, we deem the special election inexpedient and inadvisable at this time, and inasmuch as the regular primacy will be held next summer J when there can be afforded a better opportunity for the voters to pass 1 upon the qualifications of the various ] candidates for this and other offices, ? we recommend to Governor Cooper and our legislative delegation that ' appointment of the present deputy ! clerk, Paul L. Cogburn, as clerk of the court, his commission to hold un- ? til the next general election, when his regularly electer successor chos- ; en in the primary next year shall , qualify and assume charge of this office. Immediately after the resolution , of Capt. Blocker was introduced, Mr. B. R. Tillman moved that the name ? of Mrs. W. B. Cogburn be substitu ted in lieu of that of Mr. Paul L. Cogburn, as Mr. Cogburn had ex pressed the wish that, should he die in office, Mrs. Cogburn be permitted to fill the unexpired portion of his term. After some discussion pro and con, the vote upon the amendment of Mr. Tillman was five for and six against, being lost by one vote. The amendment having failed of passage, the resolution as originally presented was adopted unanimously. Dorsey-Britt. The friends of Mr. Charles W. Dor sey and Miss Adelia Britt will be in terested to learn of their marriage which occurred Thursday, July 7th, the Rev. Zech Ford Bond officiating.

It will be interesting to the people of Edgefield to know the names and number of our foreign population at this time. Some of these have been in Edgefield too long to be called for eigners, but citizens and neighbors. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union has been greatly interested in the subject of Americanization and has been in terested in a national way in giving the English language to foreigners who come to our shores. This organization has kept in touch with Ellis Island and has distributed to all foreigners who land a greeting, in the various tongues and a warn ing against the evils v hich may greet them when landing.

A dainty salad, course was serv n(yt pretty little Misses Julia Aull f str< Bessie Rainsford assisti. r by Buffaloes and Bears in Yel lowstone Park. Dear Advertiser: The animals of the Park are to me among the most interest features. To see elk, "bear or buffalo caged is quite a different matter from seeing them roaming " wild and unafraid in their own i native haunts, unafraid of a| gun because they have never heard one,,and unaccustomed to.attacking man/because they have no need, and because they are scarcely conscious of tyeir native strength and power. Once in this same west any uses or signs, of modem civilization were curiosities, when the Indians in tribes and buffalo in herds roamed plains in thousands. Now the reverse is the case,] and an Indian tomahawk is a curLxity, arousing admiration where dncejit aroused fear in the hearts of the |orty-Niners. Now the National Parkiprides itself on the herd of six hunched buffalo which it keeps on a Iwra ranch. Fifteen of them are ke$ttnear the Mammoth Hotel in whktjis known as a corral, a fenced p'ffv^ffiture, fo~ the enjoyment of the fcmfu&hds of tourists who travel throujh the Park each season. Last yearvjhere were thirty-five thousand. i^?S buffalo is an ill formed crea ture, beautiful in the way that some pepi? consider a storm* beautiful, s0n^ sort of grandness that borders ?tf'ttt terrible. To say that the buf falo ;p mostly head, would convey the idia that he has sense, but my im ? is that his characteristics are ajbmbination of unused strength, tendiig toward laziness, and slow stupidty. I sat in the hot sun this [riornjtg unmindful of sunburn, for ibnoj an hour, fascinated, watching -bese-inimals which were too lazy to ?ven stand. Like a person suffering frpm^nu^^the^paid - no. atten iheffence and wer? rather^B?raPat .heidea of being admired. From a iisance they looked like large, brown >oiders lying in the grass, so bulky in< immovable were they. 'he ranchman who takes care of ;hen seemed to have a rough, though ;inere affection for them, telling of ;h<r various merits in a sort of fath er! way, and remarking every now in! then, what very fine looking buf 'ajes he though they were. To him ;hy were like another division of ;h human race, fully as interesting isthe people to whom he showed ;hm. " Vhen a sufficient number of peo J1< had gathered at the edge of the :orall, the keeper would open the jae and ride in on his tall mountain ??se, to stir the buffaloes up and nke them stand, so that they could ) more easily seen. They arose with ? alacrity that a small boy shows; nen the school bell rings in th?: rly morning and enticing visions fishing ponds and swimming holes ise before his eyes. The effort to ind up immediately was too much,, e expense of energy all at once en ely too great, so they each took a mble, raising clouds of dust, and. ally when the urgency of the com md had at last penetrated their ads, they arose and stood in mass formation, shaggy heads all in a w, as though they had taken mili :y tactics from some brave officers. Fort Yellowstone. They seemed to actually posing for pictures, so ll did they stand, and many kodaks re busy getting pictures of the mstrous, sleepy creatures. Almost soon as the keeper had ridden out d closed the gate, they were set igdown again with the solid com .t of the hot sand and grass. The keeper remarked on how hap he would be to have nothing to do 2 the buffaloes, and my companion narked that a human being with ;hing to do would become stupid 1 useless unless he had something keep him mentally fit. A buffalo i be only a buffalo, but I think a .son can be a little higher than the reis, if he chooses to live instead exist. Yellowstone Park and its vicinity fe helped to furnish three em ms for the United States' money: buffalo, the Indian and the eagle.

Mammoth Hotel, Yellowstone Park, Wyoming.. June 2, 1921. Card From Mr. Wright. I wish to say to the readers of the dear old Advertiser that I have re turned from the land of the roses. I had several articles nearly ready for the press of my trip to Florida. Two of them were a continuation of the Silver Springs, and the Silver river, also one about the ancient, his toric city of St. Augustine. But after being crushed in ' an automobile wreck in Jacksonville I lost them some way, in fact I came very near losing my life. I was on my way home but had to remain there ten days. But now I'm back in God's country and am fast improving from the shock. When I get able, I will repro duce the articles named and will send them in for publication. I had a jrand time for five months, until I was partly killed at Jacksonville. J. RUSSELL WRIGHT. Resolutions on the Death of Mrs. W. S. Adams.
