Enroll! Enroll! Enroll! Enroll! * . # ? What is a political platform ? Something to get in office on. " * * * * If you would vote in the primary, place your name on the club roll. DO IT NOW. * * * * After all, which is the greater menace, the boll weevil or the voter who will not enroll * * * * Thus far "flappers" haven't "flap ped" very much in Edgefield. It is well not to be abreast of the times sometime. ? ? ? . . k The Apostle Paul wrote frequent ly of the "bond and the free," but certain it is that Edgefield people are more bonded than free. * * * * Water, one of life's essentials, is being made one of death's most ac tive allies. Did you ever read of so many drownings before? ? . . ? The reason most of us are having to live hard is because credit busi ness is a thing of the past. It's now pay as you go or you can't go. * . . . ?Between the toll claimed by swim . ming pools and auto accidents it is nip and tuck in some sections as to which will lead, the birth rate or the death rate. * * * ? Now, if Henry Ford will call Lim self a Democrat and not an Independ ent, he can put us down as one of his campaign "rooters" for the Presiden cy in 1924. * ? * ? "If every other man in this town were just like me, what kind of a town would this town be?" Is this not a pertinent question for every maur - ??oTwoman, too? * * * ? In his candidacy for the Presiden cy, if Mr. Ford can get the support of all Ford owners and all who want to be, he will bave a sure passport to the White House. m m m 'rn Edgefield county polled 1,540 votes in the primary two years ago and should poll 2,500 this year. How ever, the number depends upon the enrollment. Only those who enroll can vote in the primary. * . ? . ' The individual who thinks no more of the welfare of his country than to be indifferent about voting is not as good citizen as he or she should be. Measured by this standard, are you a good citizen? * * * * Blessed is the man who has a checking account with some bank. It is a fine thing to store away some ;money in a bank for a "rainy day." Tn fact, a bank account is a mighty good friend in sunshine or shadow. * * * * How strangely they do things over in Georgia. About the time most peo ple plan to relax and "lay by" their "work the Georgia general assembly meets, and it is useless to say the So lons are having hot times these days in Atlanta. * * * * Although he is now in his 88th year Chauncey Depew says he never played tennis, never rode horseback, |_jlover went hunting and never saw a game of baseball in his life. "Un cle Chauncey" has missed a lot of in nocent pleasure; * * . . Marconi has not yet succeeded in I linking up with Mars but that Chi cago professor wiho obtained hjeat of 50,000 degrees while making an experiment the other day must have made an under ground connection with the nether world. * * * * Somebody said away back yonder, 'When thi?ves fall out honest men get their dues." Be that as it may, let us hope that when Republicans fall out Democrats will get their) dues. When old-line Republicans like Borah and LaFollette knock the pro .oosed tariff legislation it makes us hopeful that Democrats will be able ;o protect the interests of the masses >f the people. m m m . A Good Selection. The vacancy on the board of trus tees of Clemson College has been ??led by the election of Mr. B. E. Geer of Greenville as a life trustee. Mr. Geer is a high-minded, forward looking man whose name would do honor to any college or university. For a number of years he was a mem ber of the faculty of Furman Uni versity and gave up that position to actively engage in cotton manufac turing in Greenville upon a large scale. He is also connected with oth er industrial enterprises. By those who know him best Mr. Geer is look ed upon as one of the foremost men of the state. Mr. J. E. Reese Arrested in Georgia.

He is held there to be tried upon the more serious charge of big amy. Successful Revival Meeting. The revival services which came to a close at the Baptist church Wed nesday night were a pronounced suc cess. The very earnest sermons of Dr. Vines twice each day resulted in adding 21 names to the church roll and many church members were greatly benefitted. All of the ser vices were well attended, even from the opening of the meeting, which indicated that the people were in a receptive frame of mind arid heart. The pastor and Mrs. Allen also gave themselves entirely over to the ser vices, making it easier for Dr. Vines to do his part of the work. Those who sang and played the instruments also added much to the effectiveness of the meeting. Through Dr. Vines' preaching the following united with the church by letter: Mrs. W. R. Swearingen, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mor gan, Miss Nellie Bryan, Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Gilchrist, Mrs. J. P. Timraer man and Mr. Louis Wood. The fol iowiuff woro received upon a profes sion of faith, Mr. Warren Paul, Fran ces and Harry Paul, B. E. Timmer man, T. J. Denby, Horace Dornj Catherine Mims, J. R. Timmerman, Jr., Rhett Morgan, Orlando Morgan, Sara Gilchrist, Lucy McManus and Perrine Mims. The ordinance of bap tism was administered Sunday night very beautifully and Impressively by Mr. Allen. In Memoriam. In memory of my dear cousin, Lil lie Ransom Ousts, who departed this life four years ago, June 22, 1918. A precious one has gone from us. A voice we loved is still. A place is va cant in our home. It is sad to think dear Lillie has gone never to see her on earth again. But it. is sweet to think that we will meet her in heaven some day in the bye and bye. I often sit and think of you, dear Lillie, when I am all alone, for mem ory is the only thing that grief can call its own. Two short days she bore great pain and seeking a cure was all in vain. But God who doeth all things best did ease her pain* and gave her rest. A COUSIN. Edgefield, S. C. HAMBONES MEDITATIONS r---?
