Nobles from all over the county, South Carolina and other states, ma^e the historic old town their Mecca, and were greeted with a welcome, which, from the printed banners to the hearty hand-grasp, was genuine. Headquarters were established in the commodious B. B. Jones build ing opposite the post office. A get together session was held here dur ing the morning, bright music being furnished by the Graniteville Con cert Band. Later the jolly crowd repaired to the Graded and High Sschool build ing, an ideal place for such a gath ering, situated in its extensive, shady 11 campus. A regular program was enjoyed If in the auditorium, interspersed with | i band music. Capt- Less Moore, president of the Edgefield County Shrine Club, a loy- t al noble, and more, "one of God's r noble men" opened the program with r his usual genial manners. He in- s troduced Noble B. R. Tillman, who a was loudly applauded and lovingly i hailed from the audience as a "Son t of the Grand Old Man" and who voiced the county's hearty welcome, o Capt. Moore then gave ttfe chair a to Noble A. H. Corley, who gracious- t ly introduced the speakers. Judge s William H. Thurmond was asked to e ?riye a little sketch of Edgefield n county, in which he paid a beautiful c tribute to Masonry and particularly to the*Shrine order. Next was Noble Frank Hart, of A Columbia, who, though young in h years, has earned the soubriquet tl 'Father of Shriners" by his splendid n ivork. He is Past Potentate of Omar tl Temple and Representative of the [mperial Council. Noble Hart's talk ti stressed the point that the Shriner's fi Vlission was to make the world a f setter and safer place. A Solicitor-General A. L. Franklyn, b if Augusta, a prominent noble in Wee Temple, made an eloquent talk jn the high ideals of. the Shriners. Noble Z. V. Davidson, of Chester, Uhief Rabban of Hejaz Temple, gave i resume of the Shrine from its in ?piency-a sketch which showed low this order, though thought af as nerely social, has undertaken a mag lificent work, and will spend mil ions in its special hospitals, where :rippled children can have a chance ;o be made physically fit. Noble George T. Bryan, of Green Mile, Past Potentate of Omar and .iejaz Temples, was the last speaker, t?is tender and expressive words, :rys?allized in the poem "Glad to See fou," fell like a benediction on the attentive audience. After the concluding musical num ler the 'cue was served in the spa nous school dining room-which ,vas very elaborately decorated with :he Shrine colors, red and yellow. The several columns were entwined with the colors, and bright garlands were prettily draped around the en ;ire room, feathery asparagus being used where the colorful festoons :rossed between each window. MeJ low Japanese lanterns suspended from the beamed ceiling, gave a love ly touch to the scheme, the alter nating colors being used in their ar rangement. Four tables stretched across the room, on whose snowy cloths, vases of rich red and yellow cut flowers were spaced. All the preceding night the savory odor of barbecued meats had floated out from the huge pits above the glowing seasoned oak coals and the cue proved to be a culinary triumph. The menu consisted of hash, mutton, pork ham, fricaseed ? chicken a-la mushrooms, rice, Irish potato sakd, sliced tomatoes with mayonnaise, corn on the cob, cucumbers, Iceberg lettuce, deviled eggs, French rolls, egg bread, coffee and beer. Before the bountiful meal Captain Moore asked that everyone stand for the blessing which Noble Frank Hart reverently invoked. One of the prominent character istics of Shriners is the ingrained charity which tempers the happy, care-free atmosphere one associates with the wearers of the Fez. With customary thoughtfulness, the food left after the some two hundred guests had bountifully partaken, was sent to many homes where there was sickness and to those who need ed a helping hand. The Shrine has a wonderful mis sion-that of keeping the joyous nature of the boy alive in the man It is of. inestimable value that the business man can lay aside his duties relax his strained nerves, don his Fez and presto! the hands of Time have swung backward, and. he is a merry boy with all the youthful ca pacity to romp that belonged to his bare-foot days. Would that every man had the privilege to play, for ?the sunshine they would carry back into their business world would dis a a tl it ti a I* e: I a o: o: o is k n P g t( tl t( d tl h s! b o t; a a t: 0 t t t g s c r c c Humane Society Needed in Edgefield. Through the efforts of the lament^ ed Dr. J. H. Carmichael, a humane society was organized in Edgefield some years ago for the protection and prevention of cruelty to dumb animals. Such an organization should be in existence here now. Many a poor beast of burden would be saved much suffering were there an active organization of this kind in every county seat. Even were the members of the organization not very active, its very . presence would be a re straining influence upon those who are so heartless as to neglect and cruelly treat beasts of burden. The Advertiser would like to see someone ;ake steps toward reviving the old or ganization. In this connection, the iddress before the annual meeting of ;he Humane Society of Augusta hy ts president, Mr. A. W. Delquest is nteresting, it being as follows: "Since there is so much of impor ance to be said on the subject of hii nane work it may be well that I do tot remain silent. I wtmld be glad tb I peak of many matters relating to I .nimals worthy of thought-such for I nstance as their intellectual quail- I ies, their language by which they ommunicate their thoughts to each ther,1 their keen perception of right nd wrong in many instances, and of he fallacy that they were created olely for man and not for their own* njoyment. But I will have to limit ?yself to the Augusta Humane j So iety and its place in this community. "A year ago I reluctantly accept d the office, of the presidency of the lUgusta Humane Society. I say "re jctantly" because I well realized hat we have many men in this com iunity better fitted for the office han I am. I waited in vain for somer I ody else, but finding neither Chris- I ian now Jew ready to take the chair 1 Dr the benefit of our dumb animal jj riends, it became my duty to do so. I .nd not an unpleasant duty has it I een. I "Augusta should not be without an ctive humane society. I wonder if mong all the good people of Augusta I ?ere is one who has, as Ruskin puts I ;, "looked up to heaven with an en- 1 re understanding of heaven's ways I bout the horse?" Yes, there is one, I know, and that is our untiring work- I r, the secretary of this society, and I think now I have other in mind. "It- is not that the Augusta people re not kindhearted. It is only a lack I f understanding of the importance g f a humane society on the part of ur city fathers. If they knew what eg ; being done in other cities; if they new the real service to the commu ity any humane society, receiving ar roper aid, can be; if they knew the *? ood a humane society does, not only ^ ) the animals, but how it protects - ^ ie health of the people and helps WI ) make better citizens, of our chil Wi ren, elp would not be withheld by , ie council, but would come forth ^ ere as in other cities. ar "A fairly well-to-do community g hould not leave the work to be done s^ y a kindhearted poor old lady at her p( wn expense. (I refer to our secre- fc ary.) The public sentiment is in full ccord with the work of the society, nd the people's representatives at he city hall, though having many ther duties, should not fail to do - heir duty to this matter. All cities hat are cities give aid financially to w heir humane societies, except Au- ^ ;usta. Without aid the work of the ociety cannot be properly carried >n. hi "It is not easy to estimate the . nagnitude of the humane work a lommunity like this calls for. Just q insider for the present one animal -the horse. We know that in our K :ourts there are many cases of as iaults upon man. But for each there ti ire instances which call for at least n wenty or thirty cases of cruel and Ilegal assaults upon horses. Consider * ill thc overloaded teams, fast driv- j? ng, overworking, underfeeding, neg ect of water, neglect to properly shelter and protect from the weather, tight checkreins, sores worn by im proper harness, beating, kicking, bad ?hoeing, bad drivers and various other forms of abuses which the horse is subjeced to. Then extend this estimate to the whole circle of dumb creatures. Let it include the cattle trains, on the railroads crowd ed by cattle, hungry, thirsty, and sleepless; the starving at the cattle markets, the cruel plucking of live fowls, the cruel methods of slaught- * ering cattle, sheep and swine-the destruction of useful birds; the abom- ^ inable treatment of wornout horses; ^ the cock fights; the almost unbeliev able tortues practiced in the unnec- ^ pell much of the gloom which robs | life of its joy. ] A blessing on the boys who wear ? the Fez and may they often make j Edgefield their Mecca. . .

Humane societies a amane education would give us mo umane men and women; in cons ue|ce of which there would be le ale by the bayonet, less wars ai tore peace and prosperity. "The grand work of humane soci es is that they provide for the h jane education of children in vario pays. In connection with this I a eminded of a little story about reat king in the East who liv? tiousands of years before the biri f Christ. The story is very old ai ras handed down from gen eratic o generation before it was writte own. The story is about a great kir rho lived in India. When he came 1 he heaven of his people he toe irith him his faithful dog. At the gal hey were met by a shining ange Che angel said to the king that i vould have to leave his dog behind i here were no dogs allowed in th loly city. But that aroused the ire c be king; for he was a man with preat soul; and he said: "What! leav ny dog? Nay, never shall a man sa hat I deserted my faithful hound ?Vhen all my friends had failed m ?Vhen all my friends has failed me ny dog was faithful; and in this las lour, if he cannot enter heaven wit ne, I shall go where he goes." Am :he king turned to go with his dog But then the dog changed his shape ind rose up as a shining angel, say ing: "Thanks, good king; I have beei ?roar guardian angel on earth anc aow we will go hand in hand into thi holy city." And together they went into the holy place, where there is no night, neither orrow nor crying." That story is old, very old, older than history-a story told among heathen, to whom we send mission aries! The story has in it honor as well as kindness, sentiments of no uncertain value. The Humane Society is sentimental, but above all else it is practical; and with all the encour agement due it, we hope Augusta Hu mane Society will be able to prove itself for the coming year, more prac tical than ever."
