Friday night one or more persons entered the store of Stewart & Ker naghan and stole a considerable quan tity of valuable merchandise. The building was entered through one of the rear windows, an iron bar that held the window being removed. Among the things that were taken form the store were two -Parker guns, one Remington automatic gun, two Winchester rifles, two pump guns and two Essex single-barrel guns. Practically all of the cutlery from the show cases was carried away and a large quantity of loaded shells were taken by the robbers. It is prob able that other things were also re moved. In a large hardware stock such as Stewart & Kernaghan carry it would not be an easy matter to mis*, smaller articles. Up to this time no trace of the robbers has been found but surely they will be apprehended. It should not be possible for any man or set of men to steal and dispose of merchandise such as was stolen Fri day night without leaving some clue behind.

Mims, Editor Edgefield Advertiser, Edgefield, S. C. My Dear Mr. Mims: Until I read the appeal to delin quents in your issue of last week, it had never occurred to me to notice the date upon address of my paper to show when I should pay up for the "best weekly in South Carolina." Now I have certainly enjoyed a great deal of free reading at your expense, for I find from my copy of The Ad vertiser that my subscription expired the twenty-second of last January. You are a very patient and indulgent creditor. My check is enclosed for $4.00 which will pay my subscription until January 22, 1924. Yours cordially, Both Edgefield Teams are Victoria Friday early in the noon the girls' basketball team s football team of the McCc. school arrived to play the 1. eu teams. Promptly at 2:30 o'clock the game of 'basketball was played on the school campus between the visiting girls and the Edgefield , girls. The game was good from start to finish, the score being 12 to 8 in favor of Edgefield Those who witnessed the game have pronounced it the best of the season. Immediately following the basket ball game the football contest was held on the athletic field. Our boys had an easy victory, as the score, 64 to 0, shows. Much of the time the members of Edgefield's second team played and still McCormick was un able to make a score. The outstand ing feature of the game was the splendid playing of Edward Peak. Mr. T. B, Greneker won fresh laurels for himself also as a referee. The coach of the McCormick football team said Mr. Greneker was the best referee he has seen this season. We congratulate the Edgefield boys upon their sweeping victory, and also our girls upon their excellent playing. They go to Aiken tomorrow to play the high school team there. ? Card of Thanks.
