GOVERNOR CAUSES
PEACE IN EDGEFIELD
USES INFLUENCE TO
BREACH BETWEEN TWO
COUNTY OFFICERS
Columbia. Oct. 2.—The storv of
how Governor Harvey recently
brought pence out of a had situation
in Edgefield county has just come to
light, following publication in an
Edgefield paper of a report of the
peace making.
A personal difficulty look place be
tween Sheriff Swearingen and Supei-
visor Edmunds, of Edgefield county.
For weeks a condition ot strain ex
isted between the two officials, and
there was much concern in Edgefield
county over the relations between the
two, men and the possible outcome.
Quietly" Governor Hertfev took ac
tlon. He realized that the situation
should not continue. He wtote to
the two men and asked each one if he
vrould not' call at the executive office
bn,a certain day. He asked the two
to call at the same time and he stat
ed* in his tatter to each that )i e had
asked the other of the two to come
fit the same time. After a certain
amount of correspondence, the gover
nor effected an arrangement whereby
thipv'two men came to his office and
he talked over the matter with them.
a» man to man and as friend to
friend. The governof made It very
plain that ha was a friend to both of
t-iem: that he wanted to see them
make friends, in the interest of law
enforcement, as well, as for personal
friendship.
The governor’s kind and yet manly
position impressed the two men and
the result was they became friends of
each other again. And both went
away with, the kindliest feeling to
ward Governor Harvev. The troubled
waters have been ?qu>ptbed over; th*.

Pirates to a tie for third place with

The Chicago Cubs, after figuring
in the first division most of the sea*-

the fifth place.
Ty Cobb’s aggressive Detroit club
landed third place in the American
league, although by a margin of onlv

TIMMONSVILLE LADY
BURIED ON YESTERDAY
Timmonsvllle, Oct. 2.—Special—
Beautiful and impressive funeral ser
vices were held Sunuay In the Tim-

family plot near Penlel. beside the
grave of her husband. William JPur

Fitting tributes were made by Rev.
H. K. Williams, pastor of the church,
and Rev. W. Roy P.iillips, pastor of
the Methodist church wiio concluded
the services at the grave. It was most
remarkable to see so large a number
of relatives assembled together.
Mr. and Mrs. Purvis were the par

were here with their husbands and
wives. There were also 48 grand chil-

of October 2nd. No other holiday of
the Synagog is invested with such im
portance as is attached to this day ot
sout-seurebing repentance. U is per
haps the most distinctly Jewish holi-
ouv of the Synagog, one tiiat is most
pervasive and siaies in tullest. meas
ure tne ultimate goal and purpose oi
Israels striving. The Messianic ful
Aliment of the Jews as wo.I as hu
manity's destiny is fo.evisoned in
tne liturgy of tins service.
The ceremonial observance of the
Day of Atonement requires "the wor
shipper to withdraw from all world
ly cares, and, forgetful of the work
aday auaiis which have occuptad s him
during the year, give himself unto
God in thoughts ot prayer and re
pentance. The # devout tan * in the
synagog from morning till evening,
abstaining from food and drink, fto
that by afflicting their souls they may
tne better purge themselves of si?i.
Under the severe discipline of this
introspection and fasting the worship
per exercises a larger degree of self-
control in his relations with human
ity and thus becomes reconciled to
man and God.
Set high as life's great throbbing
star, tlie ideals for which the Jews
nave lived and died ate on the Day
of Atonement again proclaimed. In
the poetic ritual of the service, sonu
passages of which are acknowledged
to be of unparalleled sublimity, this
confidence is vouchsafed that ail men
ami women as well as the children of
the house of Jacob are factors and
processes In the bands of tlie Creator
of I lie, Universe who fashions t-he ca
reers of men and women according to
a divine plan whose ultimate goal is
the establishment ot an era of peacqjfi
and good will among men. yPo im
press upon each individual worship
per the responsibility of ids life and
action and make him duly conscious
of his Importance as an agent in fur
thering the purposes of God on earth,
is among the many lofty conceptions
unfolded In the liturgy of ^ho Day of
Atonement. v ■* y
Yom Kippur has a long ancestry,
and like many of the holidays and
ceremonials of the Synagqi has u»
oergone changes during the^ centuries
of unbroken Historical existence in
which the Jews have sojourned among
men. In the Mosaic Code, for exam
ple, on this day the high priest In the
Temple performed the important
function of expiation lor the sanctu
ary, the priesthood and the people.
in contrast to this priestly monop
oly of service with its external forms
of expiation, the rabbis of the Syna
gog clothed this holiday with the
mantle fallen from the shoulders of
the prophets of Israel aud invested It
with the doctrines of God’s mercy
and paternal love. It is due to the
teachers of the Synagog that, the Day
of Atonement was divested of its sac
rificial features as those detailed in
Leviticus 1G:2-31 and Ezekiel 45:18
20. According to their preachment
tbe conception of atonement was al
tered to enforce on the worshipper
the truer verdict that all repentance
must he effected in the heart and soul
of the sinner, the individual worship-
r. Only through his own efforts
uld a genuine reconciliation with
and man he obtained,
ue phase of the ritual in the mod
ern Synagog is devoted to the re
membrance of dear ones ca’tad to
their eternal reward. The memorial
services usually held In the afternoon
of the Day of Atonement are solemn
and impressive and are intended to
remember not only those members of
the Jewish community who nave pass
ed away hut to coaim 2-norate all good
and noble men and women who have
served the cause of humanity, and in
creased peace In the world.

GEORGIANS' REQUESTED TO FOR-
WARO NAMES AND ADDRESS
ES TO P. W. WILSON
To keep the name of their nativ"
state frosh in their memories and for
social and entertainment purposes, a
number of Florence citizens who orig
inally came here from Georgia have
been talking over the proposition of
organizing in Florence a "Georgia’
club, which will contain every origi
nal Georgian jn j'lprence in its mem
bership.
A number of other states have or
ganized state clubs in Florence, and
as there are som# fifty citizens in
Florence who claim the Cracker
State as their native heath, there ta
every prospect of a lively and bene
ficial club being established.
Those Interested in such an organi
zation, and who can qualify as nit*in
hers, are urged to send their naim
aud address to P. W. Wilson, who ha*--
an office in the old Times building nt;
West Evans street. Mr. Wilson has
consented to act as a temporary
chairman of the contemplated organi
zation until such time as 41 Aeeting is
called and a permanent club Is es
tahlished and officers and commit
tees duly elected. After Mr. Wilson
receives a sufficient number of names
ihe Baptist hoys are sure they will
carry hack the scalps of the boys by
