Editor Edgefield Advertiser: A protracted meeting and revival closed at our North Augusta Baptist church last Wednesday night with an addition to the membership of .49 souls. Pastor Surles was assisted by Dr. Lambroux, of Ridgeway, S. C. Dr. Lambroux is an evangelist and preaches with great convincing pow er. In addition to the 49 members, the entire membership seemed to be greatly revived. E. L. Scott, state constable receiv ed several letters from persons in Edgefield county since I last wrote to your paper, beseeching him to go into the county and break up liquor stills and capture all who make and sell the "vile stuff." . These persons gave the names of several white man "who were making it and the lands on which it is being made. .In this connection I will state that if Scott does not act as promptly as these good people think he should, just put it down to the cause that he is unable to keep his car in runinng condition and gas in it;, for be it known that his work is gratis to the state and also, to the fact that it is hard for him to find anyone who is willing to go with him without com pensation. Since I last wrote Scott captured Ben Thomas, an old ne.?ro bootleg ger and his whiskey in North Au gusta. Ben Thomas is the old fiddler who formerly played for al lthe big dances at Lanham's and Mathis' Springs in the long ago when these annual picnics and barbecues were held. Many of your readers will re member old Ben the fiddler. Some North Augusta boys and girls went 'possum hunting. A young man meant to give them a scare. He went into the woods equipped for that purpose. The dogs got after him and ran him up a tree. The tree be ing too large to cut down a negro boy was sent up to shake the "'possum'7 down. The "'possum" threw his cap at the boy and the boy turned lose and fell to the ground. Thereupon, one of the young men shot up the tree and cut leaves near the "'pos sum's" ear. The "possum" turned lose the body of the tree and came down trimming the tree as he came, scaring dogs and girls into a run for life. After the excitement subsided to a degree a large frying size girl told the ""possum" what she thought of such conduct and then fainted. The above is true even though I told it. I would say to all your readers who are anxious to break up distilling and bootlegging in Edgefield county, to report not only to Ernest L. Scott of this place, but to George' C. Bow en, Federal Prohibition Director, Greenville, S. C. Give him as near as possible the location of stills and who you think are running them; also who is running them. And then the first opportunity Mr. Bowen will send a raiding party down to see after the gents. I know he will do it for I have tried him-had a still pulled in Mc Cormick county and is having the man prosecuted. J. C. WHATLEY. North,Augusta, S. C. Kirksey News. Mrs. E. T.

Crouch-Horde. A wedding of much interest throughout this section of the state was that of Miss Ruth Crouch to Benjamin T. Horde, which was sol emnized at St. Paul's Methodist church Thursday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. The church was decorated with Southern smilax, stately palms and baskets of white chrysanthemums. On either side of the altar was a large cut glass candelabrum with white candles. The bride and bride groom stood under an arch draped with white tulle in lovers' knot ef fect. As the appointed hour drew near, Miss Myrtle Higginbotham of Columbia sang "At Dawning" and "Because." Rubenstein's "Melody in F" was rendered by Mrs. B. W. Crouch, she having the musical pro gram in charge. A chorus consisting of Misses Lucile and Edna Reames, Aline Trout, Eva Sue Etheredge, Mesdames J. H. Jennings and W. H. Crawford sang the wedding march from Lohengrin. Misses Perrine Crouch and Lida Lewis, candle bearers, came in first, followed by the ushers, E. W. Crouch of Columbia, brother of the bride, Ed. Harrison of Trenton, A. H. Day of Newberry and Dr. Morrall of Trenton. Next came Carroll Mar ion Crouch, nephew of the bride, car rying the ring in tho heart of a white chrysanthemum. Following came the maid of honor, Miss Sabe Miller of Trenton, and the dame of honor, Mrs. C. J. Ramage, sister of the bride. Just precding the bride came the two dainty little flower girls, Mildred Ma theny and Imogene Posey, dressed in white organdie. The bride entered on the arm of her brother, M. C. Crouch, of Harts vtfle, by whom she was given in mar riage. They were met at the altar by the bridegroom and his best man, William Wise, of Trenton. The im pressive ring ceremony was perform ed by the Rev. J. L. Singleton, pastor of the bride. During the ceremony Miss Floride Crouch rendered "Sou venir" on the violin and Mendels sohn's wedding march was played as the party left the church. The bride was clad in a handsome gown of s ilver cloth trimmed in lace and carried a shower bouquet of pink roses. The numerous and handsome gifts received by the bride and bride groom attested to the poularity of the couple. The bride is a graduate of Win throp college, a splendid musician, and has been stenographer in the law office of Crouch & Ramage here for the past few years. She is a young woman of attractive personality and has endeared herself to many, who wish her a life ' of much happiness. Mr. Horde is the popular cashier of the Bank of Trenton, where he will take his bride to make their home. Saluda Standard. New Dog Tax Law. For the benefit of all who own dogs I give below the law applying to tax on same: "Dog tax is payable during Janu ary of each year. February 1 is last day of payment. A dog is liable to this tax if six months old or older on January 1. A dog born on June 30, 1922, is liable to the tax January, 1923. "This tax is in lieu of all other tax es or licenses on dogs, either county, municipal or otherwise. "Dog license tax payable January, 1923, the tag issued by the treasur er should bear this inscription, 'Dog license, 1923.' It should show the se rial number and name of county. "Tax not to be charged on audi tor's duplicate nor carried on the or dinary tax receipt. Separate receipts are necessary. "Do not turn this tax over to the sheriff for collection. Non-payment is a misdemeanor and punishable by fine or imprisonment. See Sec. 4 of said act. "It is the duty of school trustees of each district to see that this tax is collected. The treasurer is to re tain 25 cents for each tag sold to re imburse him for keeping the records and paying for the tags. The county pays for printing the rece'ipts." The above is the law as it now stands. For the convenience of the public I have arranged with the treas urer to allow trustees to handle the tags and make collections. In this way each district will receive all dog tax money paid therein. Purchase your tags from your own trustees, and we can keep the records straight on this money. W. W. FULLER, Co. Supt.
