4 *TM^ ADVERTISER. - . n - - Terms, 93,00 per Annum. Be Prepared to Settle. We have secured tho services of Mr. ELIJAH KEKSE, well known to the peo ple of Edge?eld as a thoroughly reliable and courteous gentleman, as Canvassing Agent and Collector forlhe Advertiser ; and commend him to the kind attention of our patrons. We hope those indebted to tia will be prepared to settle when our collector calls on them. The Dedication at Spaun's. We are authorized to announce that the dedication of the new Spann's Church will take place on Sunday next, the 2nd day of November. ? ~ Local Items. Weather still bright, lair and mild. Cotton picking and cotton ginning still the order of the day. Ginning brisker than picking! A gentleman who arriv ed in our town a day or two ago, from Sumter County, tells us that all along his route, from beginning to end, the fields were literally white with unpicked cotton-so much so as to be worthy of comment. - The Right Rev. Bishop Howe, of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, ar rived in Edge field on Friday evening last, on his annual visitation to Trinity parish; and on Saturday and Sunday last, very interesting services and ser mons were heard in Trinity Church. The Bishop was accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Edgerton, of St. Thaddeus' Church, Aiken, a young divine of deci ded ability, and great prominence among the clergy of our State. During his so journ in Edgefield, Bishop Howe bap ti zed one adult, one infant, and confirm ed- six persons. He-quitted our commu nity on Tuesday afternoon, for a visit to the new and flourishing Episcopal con gregation of Ridge Spring, whose beau tiful Church will soon be ready for con secration. The session of-the Storm Branch Asso ciation (colored Baptist) at Pleasant Grove, tb?reo miles from us, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday last, was attended by numbers, which, apparently, arith metic would fail to compute. If we are net mistaken it was a very, decorous meeting. The next session is to meet at " Dead River" on the Port Royal Rail road. Tie Sabre Club drilled actively on Sat urday last, and will do so again on next Saturday. On the Saturday following, will take place the last drill before their departure for Columbia ? On this day all the pretty girls are coming to bright en the scene ; also the Johnston's Brass Band. And Maybin Griffin will give a Barbecue-and there will be dancing and all that. The Sons of Temperance flourish at Johnston's, and the average Johnston's man now takes his lemonade without ..a fly in it" as heretofore-and yet they are not happy. They look "blue" and chilly like, these cold mornings. Who did not know Alfred Blocker, the jug-factory man, who for the last twenty years has been driving up to our doors and putting out jugs, jars, pots and crocks? An honest anda pleasant fel low was Alfred, black (andso black!) though he was. And now he is dear I and gone. And tho veteran one-legged Dave Drake is left alone with his glory and his jugs. The mont accomplished house servant |n Edgefield County, and thc most niag ^jdcent. biass cleaner in tho world, is Ben. Hatcher (colored). Who'sayVnot ? Times are dull and hard. Trade in our town, except on Saturday's is buta sickly phantom. The colored people, who will undoubtedly part with money when they have it, buy a Tittle on Satur days. We notice that Smith, Jones Si Co. by hook or by crook, (we suppose it is thus-or is it by plentiful tolls?) man age to pay off their hands every Satur day. Our daily mail now-a-days is ready for distribution about IC o'clock A. M. Mr. Willis Odom, of the Meeting Street country, sends us some magnificent Yam Potatoes- 2. 3. and 4. pounders-which leave the Barrs, and Hatchers, and Marshes, and all the sand-country men, quite in the shade. Wewould'nt be sur prised to see big watermelons come from Meeting Street next sommer. Next week, or the week after, we should, by rights, have Court ; but as usual we shat! have none. No juries are being drawn-no preparations made. Indeed, if we mistake not, we have at present no Jury Commissioner. Bar ker's time has oxpired, on account of which expiration the people are much delighted, but his successor has not been appointed. This sort of higgledy pig gledy, rascally business, however, is nothing new anionic the Radicals. Bat?svllle Business Notices. W. G. KERNAGHAN ?fe CO.-Our old friends, tho Kernaghan Brothers, whose name, like those of their kinsman, Ham mond, is identified with Cotton-buying in the palmy days of old Hamburg, send us their card from Batesyille- where they wjsely settled when the now flourishing }ittje town had but three houses. They jjqy Cotton and sell <}oods of all kinds. S|ep (heir card in another column. . W. P. CTJ^LTJM,-Mr. W. P. Cullum, another of the pioneer merchants of BatesviUe, also honors the Advertise? this week wi:h an announcement of his popular Establishment, where are sold Dry Goods, and the numerous line? ol articles which, in the country, generally go with Dry Goods. Mri Cullum in au Edgefiold man, intermarried with th* Holstons. He buys and ?hips wotton, and advances money on the usine. We beg special attention for his new card. Boatwrfglit, Watson & Co., ot Ridge Spring. Wo bespeak universal attention for the card of this house, which appears in this week's Advertiser. It Is a lar^e, strong, popular, flourishing and high-toned firm. Itu mern hers are Messrs. R. B. Watson, Faust Boatwrigbt, W. E. Carwile, John C. Watson and Stan moro Watson. Mr. Ar temas B. Watson is the book keeper.

Now, Mobile and Mont gomery, Ala, Marshall, Columbus and Corpus Christi, Texas ; and Bainbridge, Georgia; are included in these reports. Bainbridge, in the extreme Southwest ern County of Georgia, the terminus of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, is being verv seriously aconrged by the pestilence. And in this town and ?ouuty live not a few EdgefteJd people There ls little doubt, however, that the late rains and frosts will cause the fever tn ?jcrcaie rapldfy,-* and soon disappear .atirtljr. Another Gleam of Railroad Hope.. We hear from an undoubtedly reliable source that President Bridges, of the Wilmington <fc Augusta Railroad, and of the Charlotte, Columbia* Augusta Rail road, has said unreservedly that if the town of Edgefield, and the country in terested, will give him Thirty Thousand Dollars, he will build a Railroad from Edgefield to some point on the C. C. & A K R., East of the Pine House; and that he will not only build it, but equip it and set it in operation. This offer is sim ply magnificent, for of course President Bridges would have to add another $30, 000-or even more. What may be the motives of President Bridges in making this strikingly liberal offer-or rather expressing his willingness to make it-it matters not for ns to enquire. The road he.would thus build would undoubtedly be our salvation, and that is en?ugh for us to know. ' Our duty to ourselves first; in this sort of aflfai r, at all events. As to our people not giving him the proposed ?30,000, we scoff at the idea. Ofcourse they will do so promptly and gladly. If they will not, then a high wall should be built around them, sepa rating them from the world of progress and enlightenment, and civilized people alma id come and gaze sneeringly at them while they die in poverty, ignorance, palsy and dry-rot ! But in the full assurance that there will be no difficulty about the $3?,000, we now call upon the Committee ap pointed at our last Railroad meeting, for the purpose of applying to the Legisla ture for a charter for a Railroad from Edgefield Court House to some point on the C. C. ?fe A. R. R., to be up and doing. Not a day should be lost The Legisla ture is now in session ; and the sooner the application is made, the better. Un der any circumstances-promise or no promise, prospect or no prospect-this charter should be secured. The Effects ot the Panic on the Work ing- Classes. NEW YOKK, October 26. The effect of the late financial troubles are beginning to be felt among the work ing classes in many trades. A large num ber of operatives were discharged at thc close of the week for the want of em ployment or for the want of funds to pay them. Three manufactories closed on Saturday night indefinitely. The em ployees in one establishment were offered work at reduced wages, but the men re fused to work for wages below those es tablished by the Crispin Society, am: were consequently discharged. Nearly every trade is affected similarly. Th' c gar makers have been informed that their wages will be reduced to the rate* of last year. . The Panforth Locomotive Works ir Paterson, N. J , employing five hundred hands, will soon stop. Strong's Silk Works are now running on half time. A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., says that the managers of the Cambria Iron Works at Johnstown have given notice to thc workmen of a suspension of payment ol wages until such timo as money can bf collected. The company will guarantee to emploj'ees all necessary supplies to the extent of their earnings. COHOES, N Y., October 25. The Harmony Cotton Mill, the larges! of its kind in the world, will close to night indefinitely. It is probable that the woolen manufacturers will soon fol low this example. The closing of the Harmony Mill is not owing to financial difficulty oranythiug else connected with the money stringency. It is merely in fulfillment of the annual custom. NEWBTJRG, N. Y., October 25. Owing to the stringency, the Newburg Steam Mill luis ??topped. Four hundred hands are out of employment. ???~uS. Washington special says that Attorney-General Williams received on the C5th, a letter from Montgomery, Ala bama, saying that in consequence ot heavy rains and the destruction of tin cotton crops bj' the army worm, great destitution exists in several counties, es pecially in Sumpter and Marengo. In somo places there is actual starvation, and unless help is rendered during the Winter months many persons must per ish for want of food. ?gr- The Anderson Intelligencer says : "The relatives of JohnGilstrap, (a mem ber of one of tho South Carolina regi ments, who was killed at the battle of | Fair Oaks or Seven Pines,) can obtain valuable information by corresponding with Rev. Nathan B. Durell, Box 255, Norristown, Montgomery county, Pa., or with J. S. M. Smith, Timmonsville, S. C. If we remember correctly, the de ceased hailed from Pickens county, and was a member of tho Fourth Regiment, S. C.' Volunteers. jE?rTho Presidential expenses and salary now cost the country the round sum of $127,000- expenses $77,600, salary $50,000. A question now under consid eration by the people runs thus : Does the country get an equitable return from this outlay. jsB~ Mrs- Judy Golf, an old lady of sixty-two years, living near Millcdge ville, with her husband, upon some laud owned by Thomas Harris, was shot in a terrible maimer by thu latter, who had quarreled with them about some work. Mrs Gofl' was riddled with shot while stunting in her front door, and her re covery is doubtful. Harris, who is about 70 years old, is in jail. f.,9-" The arrival of Prince Bismarck at Vienna, where Emperor William is now tho guest of Emperor Francis Joseph, has already given birth to all sorts of J rumors. The rumors may be well or ill founded, but it is certain that Bismarck is still tho mau on whose shoulders the imperial German edifice rests. He built it. ne still supports lt. Germany is not fairly ou her leys, and without Bis marek it is difficult to see how she would get a'ong.
