Now that the last election hat >een held, electing public officials rom coroner to governor for at least wo years, let's cool oif and resume he even tenor of our way. Most of is are prone to become too excited n our eagerness to elect certain in lividuals to office. Whether our friends or favorites have been chosen ?r not, let's forget politics and turn ;o things that are more worth while. " Whether satisfied or disappointed vith the result, let's get back to nor nalcy. Would that elections were ?eld quadrennially instead of bi mnially! * * * . Loyal Officers Needed. Under all circumstances law and ?rder can best be. promoted by having efficient and loyal officers to execute ;he law, but especially during the af ;er-the-war period of demoralization ;hrough which we are passing do we leed one-hundred-per-cent law en forcement officers. Greenwood, along vith some of the other counties, has lad some flagrant violations of the aw during the past few years and iince it has come to light that a ru ral policeman of that county has )een indicted for spiriting away an mportant witness in order to thwart iustice one is not surprised that such i condition prevails in Greenwood :ounty. Sworn officers of the law who wink it crime are a hindrance rather than i help in enforcing the law. In se ecting men to become executive or aw enforcement officers, the people ?hould give their support to those vho are known to be foursquare and oyal to the last degree. Law en forcement is at a low ebb in any sounty where men who are sworn to ?phold and enf oi-ce the ' law tacitly mcourage its violation. Away with i nen of the type to which that rural ?oliceman in Greenwood belongs if ie be guilty of the charge of spirit ng away a witness in orded to de feat justice. The Second Primary Election. The second election passed off juietly yesterday, and let us all give hanks that it is over. In the first ?rimary 1,821 votes were cast in Sdgefield county and 1,809 were :ast yesterday.

In the state election, this morn ng's papers give the following fig ires; Mr. Blease 83,293 and Mr. Mc leod 98,390. Mr. Hope 104,543 and ir. Swearingen 73,528. Altough hese figures are unofficial, Mr. Mc leod will be the next governor and Ir. Hope will be the next state su erintendent of education. >eath of Mrs. P. M. Quarles. The severing of earthly ties and ie breaking of the home circle is Iways sad, but when a mother, leav lg not alone a bereaved husband at small children, is taken in the lidst of a useful life it is unspeak bly sad. Monday Mrs. Quarles, the ife of Mr. P. M. Quarles, died at 2T home in the Red Hill community. he had been in failing health for ?me months, having spent several eeks in the hospital in Augusta for ?ecial treatment. Nothing could be ?und that would bring relief. Mrs. Quarles was a devout Chris in woman, a member of Red Hill lurch. She was a devoted wife, a nder and indulging mother, and 3 greatest sympathy is felt for cse who are left in the broken ?me circle to mourn her passing ray. The funeral was conducted at Red ill church yesterday at noon by rv. P. B. Lanham. Delightful Social Gathering at "Englewood." Friday evening "Englewood," the rarely ancestral home of Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Rainsford, was the scene jf a brilliant social function, the rirst of the autumn season. They threw wide their doors to about 100 of their friends from Trenton, John ston and Edgefield, including also some out of town guests, and the spirit of extreme cordiality, good cheer and gracious hospitality per meated the atmosphere. The color scheme of the attractive decorations was pink and white which was car ried out to the minutest detail, even in the refreshments that were served. As the guests arrived they were re freshed with delicious punch, a large bowl being placed at each end of the front piazza, where a bevy of beautiful girls dispensed lavishly the fruit nectar. Mrs. Sadie Johnson Hill, the mother of the hostess, who though now is regarded as one of the older generation, yet surprising ly youthful and sprightly in spirit, assisted the host and hostess in greet ing the guests at the front door, ex tending a warm welcome with old time Edgefield cordiality and gra ciousness. Progressive conversation was the chief form of diversion for the young people, the pink and white date cards being pased by the two little idols of the home, Sadie and Adeline Rainsford. During the conversation the latest victrola music, both instru mental and vocal, gave added zest to the occasion. At the conclusion of the progres sive conversation pink and white block cream and individual cakes were served, pink and white mints being served from silver compotiers. The occasion was faultlessly plan ned by the host and hostess and noth ing was left undone that would con tribute to the pleasure of their guests. The delightful party at "En glewood" will be a source of pleas ant memories to the guests who were honored with invitations.

This is to authorize you to begin taking applications again. Our ap praised force is now so organized as that we can give evei-y assurance of reasonably prompt appraisals. We have been fortunate enough to have assigned to us two very experienced appraisers from the Federal Land Bank, to work for us sixtyv days. These two appraisers, with the three I have of my own in the state, with an additional one in training, should permit us to cover the state rapidly. And in order that we may get the benefit of the services of these extra appraisers, we shall greatly appre ciate it if you will make a special effort to get us in some applications at once. While we are prepared to handle the minimum and the maximum loans permitted by the bank-$1,000 and $25,000, inclusive-yet we have a predilection for the loan averaging from $3,500 to $10,000. We are pleased to tell you that we are closing loans daily in gratifying amounts; and while the Executive Committee is slightly behind with the applications, we are doing our best to close the loans promptly. Our recent bond offering is most successful. We are sending you under separ ate cover a dozen application blanks. This, we presume, will serve your purpose temporarily. / Very truly yours, A. F.
