As we sat in Mr. W. P. Yonce's of fice late Monday afternoon and "lis tened in" on the radio wires to a mu sical program that was being render ed in Atlanta we thought of the first telegraphic message which was sent after the Morse code was invented, between Washington and Baltimore, "What God hath wrought." Truly it is wonderful. Owing to the presence of so much electricity in the atmos phere at this season, at times it is difficult to hear distinctly but it seems that after nightfall more sat isfactory results are obtained. Fre quently Mi*. Yonce can receive mes sages, market reports and musical concerts from Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York. By installing the ra dio equipment Mr. Yonce has render ed the community a great service and he deserves the appreciation and com mendation of our people. He has an attachment to his instrument which will render the messages audible some distance from the machine. Having a radio equipment in our midst keeps Edgefield abreast of the other pro gressive towns of the state. One Negro Boy Killed Another. * Saturday afternoon Monroe John- t son, a negro boy 13 years of age, j shot and instantly killed John Oli phant, another negro boy ll years of age. They resided near Pleasant Grove church. It seems that the two boys were left at home together and ? about two o'clock Saturday afternoon j the shooting occurred. Whether acci- ( dental or whether the crime was com- t mitted in a fit of temper, is not \ known. But very probably it was ac- t cidental. After Monroe shot John he j dragged his body some distance from ( the house and placed it in a gulley, i stating that he did this because he t was frightened. The shotgun was fired -\ at close range, the entire load passing t through the little boy's body. An in- ? quest was held by magistrate J. B. r Tompkins Monday and the verdict cf 1 the jury was to the effect that John e ?liphant died of a gunshot wound in flicted by Monroe Johnson, who was placed in jail. At iihe inquest and af ter being placed in jail the youthful slayer seemed not to realize that he had committed a dreadful crime. J < Y. W. A. Meeting.

Chorus Oh Dod I want a little sister, I wants her, oh, so bad I'll give her all my playthings And everything I has Now Dod please send my sister,. And send her right away Just tell me where I'll find her, In the house or in the hay. Sister, have you come to stay?
