We talked with a number of rep¬ resentative citizens who were in town Monday, and without a single exception they expressed themselves as being opposed to the issuing of the proposed cotton bonds at this time, as they would be of practical¬ ly no benefit to those who need aid. We are confident that two- thirds of the people of this county are opposed to the bonds being is¬ sued. Destroyed by Fire. Mr. Sam Agnew who resides about 12 miles southeast of Edge- field lost his residence by fire last Wednesday morning. The roof caught lrom the chimney about seven o'clock in the morning. The neighbors responded quickly to the alarm and saved practically all of the furniture and clothing. Mr. Agnew carried some insurance but we are not informed as to the amount.

We believe he is yonnger now than either of his eight sons. Some time ago Mr. and Mrs. Winn went to Hot Springs, Ark. She went for treatment and he went along just for a rest. Mr. Winn, like almost all others who go to Hot Springs, is loud in his praises of the place. Teachers Will be Paid. For a time it bas appeared that on account of the financial strin¬ gency the teachers of Edge- field county would be forced to dis¬ count their school claims, but through the efforts of the efficient county superintendent of education, Mr. W. W. Fuller, the necessary funds have been secured to pay all salaries of teachers in cash. This commendable action on the part of Mr. Faller will save the teachers of the county a large sum in the aggregate. U. D. C. Meeting. The Edgefield chapter U. D.

Wednesday afternoon, October 28, the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Nicholson was the scene of a pretty wedding, the occasion being the marriage of their daughter, Miss Lillian Nicholson, to Dr. John F. McGrath, of New York. The ceremonv was performed by Father Lanigan of Aiken. During the cere¬ mony Miss Miriam Norris softly saDg "All For You," and Mrs. E. S. Rives accompanied on the violin. The groom entered the parler with his best man, Mr. William Mc¬ Grath of New York, and the bride entered upon the arm of her father. The maid« of honor were Miss Sal¬ lie Dnnovant and Miss Sophie Nicholson. Little Misses Mary and Helen Nicholson were the flower girls and Francis Johnstone was the ring bearer. After the conventional shower¬ ing of greetings and congratula¬ tions, ice cream and cake were served. The tokens were numerous and of great variety. Soon after the ceremony the bride and groom de¬ parted upon their wedding journey of several weeks. Visited Her Parents. Miss Mable Prescott, a student nurse of tne city hospital in Augus¬ ta, spent a portion of last week in Edgefield with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Pres'sott. She is thoroughly in love with her work as nurse and is certain tobe attend¬ ed with success in her chosen field. While in Edgefield Miss Prescott spent a part of the time at the bed¬ side of Mr. Abner Covar in his last illness. Some time next year Miss Prescott will complete her course and will go out into the world well equipped upon her mission of alle¬ viating the suffering of humanity. What nobler life-work could one choose? Distinguished Guest of Honor. The Methodist church on Tues» day afternoon was the scene of an unusual and beautiful occasion. At 3 o'clock a most impressive service began, with Mrs. T. H. Rainsford, president of the local mission so¬ ciety ii. charge, who most gracious- ly welcomed the representatives of all the mission societies in our town, a» this reception for Miss Mary Cul¬ ler White of Soo Chow, China, for many years known and loved in Ed afield. Miss White was called upon to conduct the devotions, after which, Mrs. R. A. Marsh was called upon to speak words, of greeting from the Episcopal church. This she did most appropriately, and told some of the purposes of theil work in South Carolina, as well as abroad. MTS. M. P. Wells of the Presby¬ terian church spoke especially of the unity of the church in foreign fields, and of the ad visa- bility and growth of unity in the work of missions. Her talk was very much appreciated by the audi¬ ence. Mrs. J. L. Mims greeted Miss White in the name of the Baptist Mission society. Miss White made a most thrill¬ ing address on "China Old and New." She placed on the black¬ board in opposite columns the con¬ trast in China in 1904 and 14. Some of the roost striking contrasts were in reference to foot binding, the prohibition of opium, the wonder¬ ful modern educational fiystem, as contrasted with the fossil system, the breaking down of idolatry and the working up of the Chinese church. To listen to tb is conse¬ crated eye witness to the conditions she depicted, was to rise from the level of earth and get a glimpse into a sphere of faith beyond the pen of ordinary mortals. Miss White will speak to everybody both men and women on Thursday eve¬ ning in the Methodist church. At the close of this address, a social half-hour was spent together, and sandwiches and cocoa served by the ladies of the Methodist! church. Opposed Bond Issue in Senate. Acting with characteristic wis¬ dom and conservatism, Senator B E Nicholson opposed the bond issue as it was adopted by the house and finally passed by the senate. In an interview he gave his reasons for voting against the measure, which are as follows: "When I voted for the passage of the bill to submit to the qualified electors of the State the question of issuing bonds for the purpose of re¬ lieving the cotton situation I did so for the reason that I was in hopes that this plan might furnish the ba¬ sis of relief to the people of our State in the the time of their dire necessity. I had not had time to consider the matter carefully and at first blush it seemed to afford the only possible plan that could do anything to relieve the situation. 1 protested against the 6enale adiing on the bill in haste and stated thai while I voted for tho bill for the reason that I did not wish to be put in the position of opposing the only plan that I thought might do something to afford relief, I did so with the distinct understanding that when the whole matter had been thrashed out and the free con¬ ference report submitted that I would vote against the free con¬ ference report unless I then felt sat isfied that the bill as finally present¬ ed should pass. I have given the matter ray most careful considera¬ tion and have reached the conclu¬ sion that the bill will not afford re¬ lief to the farmers who need it most until too late to do them any good and that it will lay a heavy burden of taxation upon all the people and the benefit* derived from the bond issue will be confined to compara¬ tively few of the citizens of the State and will not include the small farmers and those most in need of immediate assistance. I also vote against the bill for the reason that I do not think there is sufficient time before the election to give the peo¬ ple sufficient notice of the terras of the bill and that they will not have an opportunity to give expression to their mature judgment on a mat¬ ter of such vital importance and far-reaching results. I do not think the bill as amended by the house 'should pass and that it will impair the credit of the State and impose a burden of taxation on the people without affording the relief de¬ sired."

It will be an irreparable blander if Congress ad jorams without doing something to insure adequate cur¬ rency for lending farmers to hold cotton until conditions become nor¬ mal. This is an emergency condi tion and emergency conditions re quire emergency measures. When the Salem, Massachusetts, fire occurred did not Congress make au outright gift of 82,000,000 to its people? When the war came on did not congress levy extra taxes in order to keep $75,000,000 in the national banks and did not Leader Underwood declare the govern¬ ment should have gone "to the res¬ cue of these institutions whose sol¬ vency was jeopardized not by any fault of their own, but by condi¬ tions coming from the war zone of Europe"? Is it not equally trae that the sol¬ vency of the suuthern farmers is now "jeopardized not by any fault of their own?" And while they ask no gift from congress, they do ask that congress help them to help themselves. They do ask that Con¬ gress provide sufficient currency at reasonable interest so they may | / borrow and carry the crop at their own risk and their own expense un¬ til conditions become normal again. President Wilson should not for¬ get bis own testimony against the "Money Trust." of New York and should not forget that small south¬ ern banks cinnot take care of their ordinary obligations and carry this enormous burden of financing the cotton crop. President Wilson and secretary | J McAdoo are great men, but con¬ gress is responsible, not to them, but to the people. It should never adjourn without providing, not a gift, but sufficient currency, which secretary declared would be avail-1 \ able for carrying the crop till reasonable market can be found but which present banking condi tions do not provide.-Progressive Farmer. 10 per cent off on hats, shirts underwear, sweaters, boys suits, raincoats.
