Census takers began visiting households on April 1 and have been working continuously to cover their territories. The Dis trict Manager asks that house holders hold their questionnaire which were delivered prior to April 1, and have them filled out, ready for the census taker to pick up.

Keesee. On Saturday last, several of the newspapers in the state car ried an article originating in Washington, D. C. which quoted U. S. Senator Strom Thurmond as inviting his fellow South Carolinians to join him in Edge- field for the speech of the Vice President at 8 p.m. on the 25th. Chairman Keesee states that the time listed in that article is in error. The Edgefield Tricentennial Committee joins Sen. Thurmond in inviting their fellow citizens to Edgefield for this outstand ing event which will be called to order at 2 p.m. For those desiring to arrive early, there will be a tour of historical homes available starting at 9:30 a.m. A barbecue lunch will be available from 11 a.m. on at The American Legion Home, near the Courthouse Square. The Edgefield County Com mittee has one final plea: please do not come to Edge- field expecting to hear the Vice President of the United States at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 25; they fear you would find an abandoned square!
