The Eternal (Sometimes Call- ?
ed Infernal) Ford.
My old nineteen-ten Ford goes rat
tling down the road,
With many a groan and squeak;
Though the tires are flat, what care
I for that,
So my radiator don't spring a leak.
I have only one fender and there's
nothing: to hinder
The mud from splashing my clothes,
The foot brake don't work, and when
the lever I jerk
The windshield bumps into my nose.
I've lost the hood, and the bearings
are no good,
The carbureter run down at the heel,
In the place of the dust pan, I have
old lard can,
And there's just four spokes to the
wheel.
If only one cylinder hits, she gets
up and "gits"
At a rate that's really surprising;
And although the transmission has
gone to perdition,
She's the last word in economizing..
Now, you needn't hanker to drive her
or crank her, , .
For she's not for sale or to loan;
And I expect to run her, yet a long
time', doggone her,
If she does look a little bit worn.
The cushions ride so "saff," you have
to stop and "laff"
Or else you'd take a nap;
And I'm sure the recoil wouldn't hurt
even a b?il
On the reverse side of your lap.
If I step on the/ gas, and get to
"gwine fass," ??
Somebody's got to get "outen" the
road,
Because the steering gear don't work
'very clear;
It gets jammed against the running
board.
I call her Betsy Jane, until she gets
me profane,
Then I call her-let's leave it off;
Because you'll find ont, if you are
ever about v
When I crank her and" she refuses' to
cough. ^

Road Working.
Supervisor Edmunds has about
completed the work down on thfe
Five-Notch road and will move his
road working force to Ropers this
week and work to Edgefield. After
completing this road he will n'ext
work" the road leading from Edgefield
to Meeting ^Street. With the generous
cooperation of the citizens of the
community, >Mr. Edmunds has put
clay on the Five-Notch road from
Sweetwater church almost to Mr.
Sam Gardner's. North of Mr. Gard
ner's Mr.-Edmunds says the road has
always been clayed and always will
be. The people south and southwest
of Edgefield are very^grateful to the
supervisor for the manner in which
he has improved their roads. That sec
tion of the county has received but
little attention for the past five
years or moro.
Good Game of Ball.
The baseball team of the Edgefield
High School played the first game of
the season in Aiken Friday after
noon, bringing away the scalp of the
Aiken team. The score stood 8 to 7
in favor of our boys. Hurrah for
them! They are a fine, manly set and.
will make a good record this season,
both in score and as fair, high-mind
ed young athletes. v
. The line-up of the High School
team is as follows: Theodore Ai-thur,
manager and catcher; Robert Gray,
pitcher; Amos Moore, first base; Wil
liam Hughes, second base; Dixon
Timmerman, 'third base; Rhae Tim-;
merman, short stop; Earl Arthur, left
field; Clyde Arthur, center field and
John Wells, right field.
Prof. Tatum is taking a great in
terest in the team and encourages
them in every possible way. Their
new basebal: uniform is attractive.
A Tribute to Mrs. Samantha
Green.
A Mother of Israel has gone to her
reward. Mrs. Samantha Green was
born about five miles above Edgefield
village on the 27th day of October,
1841.- In early life she united with
the Stevens Creek Baptist church, of
which she remained for many years a
consistent member. In 1888 when the
church at Berea was organized she
with her husband removed their mem
bership and became charter members
of the same.
She was married on January 1st,
i861 to Newton Chiles Harling. Soon
after the marriage Mr. Harling re
sponded to the call of his country and
enlisted in the Confederate army,
and was killed at the battle of Chat
tanooga on September 20, 1863.
Of this mariage one child was
born, who in after years became Mrs.
Hattie Hart.
In October 1865 the subject of this
sketch became the bride of the late
Henry Green who became a conspic
uous figure in the community and
church.
Haying been Mrs.. Green's pastor
for more than 17 years I learned to
know and value her. By nature she
was gentle, refined and poetic and
her life was one long beautiful poem.
I have re?d with pleasure verses writ
ten by her which expressed senti
ments and tender. But the
crown feature of her existence was
her religion. Never in my experience
have I known a more practical ex
ample of Christianity; her daily life
and walk seemed to be with God. In
my long association with the family
I have never heard one harsh word
fall from her lips; she was never
known to criticise or speak evil of
others.
When her son, when taken away in
the very bloom of youth, was missed
so terribly by us all, her heart seem
ed lonely and she wept bitter tears
but not one murmur was heard.
In life she possessed both the
characteristics of Mary and Martha.
Like Martha she prided herself on
her domestic affairs, and it was her
joy to serve her friends, preparing
good things to eat and making them
welcome and comfortable. Like Mary
she enjoyed the one thing needful,
and it was her pleasure to be present
at all church services, and to enjoy
the kingdom of God and His right
eousness.
In her last illness, which lasted fer
mor? than 2 years she was pateint,

kind and cheerful. 1
Surrounded by her loved ones, on i
the 22nd day of March, 1922, she
quietly and peaceably fell asleep. ,
And yet Mrs. Green is not dead, for ]
she lives in the hearts of her children
and friends, and her example is beau- j
tiful to us all, encouraging us to a
higher, purer and nobler life. \
