Dr. A. C. Batesburg, preached in our Baptist church on Sunday morning, and also in the evening. The Woman's Mission and Aid Suciety used this means of celebrating their first anniversary.

He was accorded a hearty welcome by I he large and attentive audience which greeted him at the morning service. The text OD this occasion was taken from JI Cor. 5:18 "And balh given lo us the ministry of reconciliation." This discourse on the great theme ot Missions was beth able aud eloquent, calculated to enthuse all ingenuous hearers. The eVeuing sermon was full of wise counsels and exhortations to his audience that they might consider their ways and "turn their feet unto his testimonies." A Woman in Trousers. At noon luncheon recently sprved in Aiken Lady Constance McKenzie appeared in trousers, riding coat and boots.

The good Lord has been merciful to Edgefield in delivering her people from the baneful influence of the Sabbath desecrators, swagger sports and mannish women that are to be found among the Northern colomy of Aiken. Not all are there aro many good people among them who deport themselves properly. Our fair Southland has a goodly heritage, but tue enviable prestige cannot be maintained if Southern people centinue to sacrifice honor and principle for a few paltry dollars dished out by aliens who const ilute a moneyed aristocracy. 1 udulgences, such as breaches o1 moral and civil lawp, are not laced on the bargain counter in Edgpiield to be granted ad infinitum for monetary considerations.
