When he had finished speaking, they made a contribution which they gave in appreciation of him, which will be put into a permanent form, so that their gift will be always remembered. They made Dr. Lee promise that he would come again and speak to them when he returned to Edgefield at some future time for a visit. Increase Tobacco Acreage. Despite the fact that his tobacco barn was burned last year, offsetting all and more than the profits, Mr.

R. N. Broadwater told The Advertiser's representative Monday that he will plant about seven acres this year. He also stated that in the "tobacco belt" of the county about 500 acres will be planted, which is a considerable increase over last year. It is the purpose of the tobacco growers to build a saleswarehouse at Johnston this fall, which is the proper thing to do.

Tobacco growers have engaged Mr. E. M. Williamson to have general supervision of the tobacco culture this year. He proved himself last year to be a very successful grower.

Old Timey Spelling Bee. The Civic League is arranging an old fashioned spelling bee to be given in the Court House on Thursday evening of next week, March the 31st at 8:30. The admission will be ten cents for each person and that will be an investment which will bring at least 100 per cent of genuine, wholesome fun.

Now, get out the old blue back speller, brush up on it and come and join in the fun. Try hard for the first prize, for it is one of Mrs. W. B. Cogburn's incomparable Angel Food Cakes, fit food for real angels.

Cake Sale on Saturday. The D. A. R. decided at their meeting Tuesday that they would have a cake these cakes will be made by some of the best cooks in Edgefield.

Being a good cook is getting to be quite a distinction and especially as the statement is made that the wives of President Harding's cabinet officers are much more interested in cooking than society. There will be a variety of cakes and candy and it will be sold by the slice or in larger quantities. If any one wishes to buy a whole or half cake for Easter Sunday, leave your order at the Mitchell Cantelou drug store and the cake will be supplied.

Cogburn are in charge of this. The following new officers were elected: President, Mrs. J. G. Holland; Vice-president, Mrs.

J. G. Edwards; Treasurer, Miss Ethel DeLoach, Secretary, Miss Emmie Lanham. Beautiful Concrete Walk. The members of the Methodist church are proving themselves to be public spirited and commendably progressive by having a concrete walk made in front of their valuable lot on Main street down to the corner in front of the church.

They have acted wisely and well in making this substantial improvement. The ways leading to worldly and secular places are made easy and attractive, then why not the way to our churches be made easy and attractive? Decrease in Insurance. The local insurance agents have received the revised fire insurance rates for the town of Edgefield, following the survey and inspection which was made about a month ago by insurance experts. The new rates show a decrease ranging from 15 to 33 per cent, owing to the location and class of risk. This decrease will partly pay the increased levy made for the payment of interest on the bonds issued to install the water system.

The modern water system plus the fire engine and organized fire fighters have caused Edgefield to be rated from an insurance standpoint, as a third-class town, instead of fourth-class. It goes without saying though that in every other respect Edgefield is a FIRST-CLASS town. Concerning an Old Edgefield Family Name. Mrs. Grace Ennett recently sent an interesting clipping from a London paper home in a letter.

At one time the Smyly family, among the earliest settlers in the county, was quite large and very prominent, while now the name is almost extinct in this section. As the Smylys came originally from Ireland, the clipping which was sent home by a descendant of the Smyly family, is especially interesting at this time. It is as follows: Major Richard Smyly, the new City Marshal of London, is both amused and embarrassed at the insistence of the Press that he is an especially handsome man. His Irish sense of humor, however, is one of his saving graces. He is a member of one of the leading Irish professional families, his uncles, Sir Philip Smyly and Sir William Smyly, having been acknowledged leaders of the medical profession in Dublin.

Clemson Club of Edgefield County Will Meet in April. We have been asked to give the information that the recently organized Clemson Club of the county will hold the proposed banquet about the middle of April, as this is the earliest time that Alumni Secretary D. F. Folger can meet with this club. Mr.

Carwile, Class '16, who is acting as County Secretary in the absence of Mr. Sam Hughes, received a letter last week from Mr. Folger, who asked that the meeting be arranged for near the middle of April. Clemson men will be interested also to learn that Mr. J.

C. Littlejohn, who is Registrar and Assistant to the president, has written Mr. Carwile that Clemson College is in a better condition today than she has ever been. Mr. Littlejohn further states that Clemson College is doing more for South Carolina today than ever before, and that the boys at the college seems to be doing better than ever before.

He also says that Clemson will have some football team this fall. Marriage of Miss Carrie Massengale and Mr. Clifton Hall. It has been suspected for some time that Cupid had some plans in Edgefield concerning the lives of two popular young people, but their friends did not know that a consummation of these plans would be realized so soon. We refer to the of Miss Carrie Massingale and Mr.

Clifton Hall, which occurred Thursday afternoon, March 10, at the Baptist parsonage by Dr. R. G. Lee. The marriage was a quiet one, the only ones present were Miss Ila Massingale and Mr.

Griffin Hall. The bride, who is a beautiful and talented little brunette is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Massingale of Edgefield. The groom is the oldest son of Mr.

and Mrs. A. M. Hall of Steadman, S. C.
