One week ago the angel of a better and holier world laid its gentle hand upon the mortal agony of young Ben jamin W. Bettie, and he-arose in ihe pride of his unsullied manhood end returned his bright life intcthe band? of Him who giveth and Him who taketh away. Throughout his short life he wore the honor of his gallant and promising youth like a diamond on his bosom, and carried in his hand even unto death the admiration of all who knew him, and the deepest love and devotion of his own beloved Edge field. With a powerful and cultivat ed intellect, with a warm and gener ous nature, with a fearless and chiv alric character, he ever made straight his paths before his fellow man. Im pulsive and vigorous, yet brave and ollected, Benjamin W. Bettie was a rong and energetic ia all thingf a Tong ia his likes, strong in his dis likes, strong in sustaining what he believed to be right, strong in de muncing what he believed to le wrong-a man who never quailed in the discbarge or at the consequences of daty. To strangers he sometimes ap peared cold; to everybody he vts. 8elf-reliant and determined. And as intimate acquaintance8hip~l?eveloped his deeper traits, he appeared bett and moat lovable, and drew about him as strong a circle of friends JS ever young mau could desire. If bis mind was a rich deposit, his heart waa ol' pure gobi ; and those who loved him here will never forget him -never 1 But good bye, Ben! There aie tears, but not for you, noble boy. Tears for our sadness-tears^ for the desolate father, mother, sister, theda voted brothers, the affectiouate friends you have left behind. Your friends would have pressed your hand on:e more, Ben, and seen that rare, sweet smile again. But "God watches His beloved while they sleep." And mean while we follow humbly on, with hap py confidence that you are at Home. "The sweet, the lovable, the just Make holv dnst; Elsewhere than on this earth, Shall come their second birth." Tile Narrow (?ange from Augusta, via EdgeGeld, tu dewberry. The Alost Practical and Promising j Railroad Meeting We llave Kv cr Known in Eage?eld. If we mistake not the signs of the times, a narrow-gauge railroad will soon be shedding life and light and money throughout Meriwether Town ship, and Wise, and Collier, and Col lins, and Pickens, and Pine Grove, and Mobley^agd Cooper, and Cole man, and Huiet-and thence screes Saluda into fair and fer J -A meeting of the Corporators of this proposed road was held in the ADVERTISER office on Monday lait and, as we have said above, it was ti. irost practical and promieing railroad meeting we have ever known in Edge field. The charter, which, in the begin niag of the proceedings, was read bv Senator Callison, who may emphat? ally be called the godfather of this enterprise, and accepted by the Cor poratore. According to this charter the title of the company is "the Au gusta sud Edgefield Railroad Com pany." Jubt so soou as it can be of ficially done, the title will be changed to "Augusta, Edgefield and New berry." Of the twenty one C??rporatoiR, the following were present : R. M. Mitch ell, James Callison, D. R. Durisoe, Lewis JoneB, O. F. Cheatham, Ernest Gary, Orlando Sheppard, A. J. Nor ris, James DeVore, J. L. Addison, 0. L. Dobson, W. S. Allen, A. S. Tomp kins, Alvin Hart and F. H. Wardlaw. Col. R. M. Mitchell, thc first Cor porator named, is the now famous and widely known President-author and finisher-of the successful uarrow gauge road which leads from Augus ta, westwards towards Sandersville, Ga., its objectivo point. Tho entire length of this road, if we mistake not, will be sixty milse.of which some twenty five are already completed aud in highly remunerative operation. Its cotai completion is only a matter ol a very short time. The Augu&ta.Edge field and Newberry will be virtually a continuation of the Augusta, Elbtr ton and Sandersville. Col. Mitchell ia now the narrow gauge kiug aid authority of the South. Two years ago, when he was just beginning the Augofta, Elberton and Sandersville road, we traveled with him from Edge field to Trenton. Every foot of the way he talked "narrow gauge" like a quarter horse ; insomuch that when we parted from him, we regarded him aa the fullest-blown enthusiast we had ever met. Time, however, bas proved that we were the fool, and Col. Mitch ell the wise man. In the light of present circumstances we are proud to "acknowledge the corn." The charter provides " that so soon as the sum of fifty thousand dollars ja subscribed, th? corporators afore said, or a majority of them, shall, by advertisement once a week fir four weeks in one or both the papers pub lished at Edgefield Court House, call a meeting of the stockholders, to be held at some place on the proposed line of said railroad, one month alter the date of said notice, for the pur pose of organizing said company, and eaid stockholders shall then and there after have power to organize the said company by electing from among their number eleven (ll). Directors, who shall immediately titer their election ohocse one of their'number lor Prest | ni dent of said company; and the term G tl of office of Pro-ident and Directors J cf paid Company shall he one year, and until their successors shall here after be elected, bat no one shall be eligible to the office of Director uu less he owns not less than five shares in the capital stock of said company, or unless he be ono of a firm owning as many times five shares as there aro members in the firm." Consequently, no permanent or ganization can yet be effected. Of the temporary organization agreed upon by the Corporators, Col. Mitchell was unanimously choeen Chairman. Or in other words he is ut present President of the Company. This wo regard as a ten strike of wisdom. Senator Callison was chosen as Vice Chairman, and siso as cauvasser of the Company to solicit subscriptions for ten miles on either side of the line from Augusta to Newberry. An other emphatic ten strike of wisdom. If the money is to be had, uo man caa get it or will get it eo quickly as James Callieon. Even before he left the ADVERTISER office, he secured bona fide subscriptions amount ing to $8,000; and before he left our town on Tuesday afternoon, he had swelled this to $13,000. Aa early as next week he will begin to canvass active ly between Edgefield and Augusta. The following admirabloand cheer ing letter, authorized by a meeting of loading citizens, of the beautiful and thriving town of Prosperity, in our sistet county of* Ne wherry, was read before {.the meeting, received with gratification and cheers, and adopted as information : PROSPERITY, S. C., Joly 31, -85.. Hon. Jas. Collison, Edgefieid, 8. C. DEAR SIR: Having noticed that a I meeting of the incorporators of the Narrow Gauge road from Edgefield to Augusta is called to be held at Edge field C. H. on Monday, 3rd proximo, aud believing that the road will be extended through our County, and feeling the necessity and feasibility of the proposed road touching at our place, a meeting of the business men was called to take the matter under consideration. At said meeting committee was appointed to lay be fore the incorporators, at their said meeting, our interest and sympathy in Baid road, and to give your body some approximate idea of the busiuess of this place, and the practicability of a route from here to Edgefield. Thin place is located in one of .the most prosperous sections of South Carolina, and we think from a care ful consideration of the business done here, and the prosperous section sur rounding us, and the fact that our people are willing to take liberally of stock in order to secure the road, will justify the incorporators iu com ing to our place with the road and theuce to Newberry. Prosperity is located in the midst of a densely pop ulated section. A large per cent, of | the white population of Newberry County is immediately surrounding our place. They are weii to do, thrifty farmers. Tue population of oar town alone, according to census of 1880, gives us 610. The route, io order to touch our town and still reach Newberry, would be only from four, to six miles further, and the country urom here to New adapted for building a road, and an examination e>f the country, we submit that the route via Prosperity will have advantages which a direct ron te to Newberry does not possess By sn examination of the country, it will be found that by coming by our town you avoid crossing BUHU Rivei and Beaver Dam Creek, and we thin the saving in the building of these two bridges alone would pay the dif terence in the cost of building th additional few miles in the length of the road to reach Newberry vi? Pros perity, not taking into consideration the business the road would gain by coming via Prosperity, nor the amount of mouoy that would be subscribed iu order to secure the road. If our suggestions meet with fa vorable consideration by your body we would bo glad to appoint a com mit tee to confer with you, and devise some plan of operation. Wc submit the following as an ap proximation of the business of Pi os perity : The total freight receipts amount to about $50,000 annually. Between 5,000 and G.000 bales ol colton have been sold this year Between 1,000 and 1,200 tons of I i guano are received here annually. The raerc.tnlile business of the town will approximate$300,000perannum The passenger travel is increasing inuually. This place has grown rap idly in the past few years, and the business is still increasing. All of which is respectfully sub j nitted. H. C. MOSELEY, E. H. AULL, L. S. BOWERS, C. F. BOYD, Committee The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the Corporators of he Augusta aiid Edgefield Railroad Company do adopt as the line of said ?oad the most practicable ronte from he city of Augusta, State of Georgia, >7 Edgefield C. H., to Newberry C. I., by the most practicable survey io he opinion of the Directors of Baid load. A resolution was also adopted that Chairman Mitchell, at bis leisure, ap .oint a Committee of three for each township along the line, to open ooks of subscription to capital stock f said Company. The heading to the Subscription jist runs thus : "We the undersigned ereby agree to subscribe to the capi al stock of the Augusta and Edge eld Railroad Company, the number f shares set opposite our respective ames, and bind ourselves, severally* 3 pay the same io instalments of not lore than 20 per cent, per mouth. Lnd we further agree, severally, to ive and deed the right of way to aid Company in the event the line f survey adopted shall pass through Dy of our lands, provided said right f way shall not exceed one hundred iel in width. And thus does the railroad proe ect of Edgefield again brighten ; for talk what we say-although it is joir-iry to the opinion of many loomy aod perhaps wise people tat if this narrow gauge be built, it ill hasten np and make ceitain the Lidding of the Carolins, Cumberlsnd ap and Chicago Road. God grant |. that our prediction may not fail. And ' now let broad-gauge be the watch word from Montmorenci to the moun tains, and narrow gauge be the slogan from Augusta to Chester. Mitchell, we look to you for great things ! Cal liflOD, we fa now and trust your vim and patriotism ! People, hold up the hands of these two men,, with an eye single to your own ami your country's good ! Probability of Jobo C. Sheppard Filling tba Executive ('bair. We fiud the following in the Co lumbia correspondence of the Augus ta Chomclc, and with all Edgefield, we can subscribe heartily to the re marks concerning our honored friend and fellow citizen, the Hon. "J. C. Sheppard*. So far as we know, the resignation of .Col. Thomas has uol been authoritatively or officially an nounced : " It is rumored that Col. J. P. Thom as has resigned bis position KS Super intendent of the Citadel Academy, and that Gov. Hugh S. Thompson will be requested to accept the posi tion. If he should do so, it would be in the highest manner complimentary to the Academy, as the Governor would resign the highest office in the State to take charge of it. It would be of great benefit to the Citadel in other ways. Gov. Thompson enjoys a wilie reputation as an educator, ami is thoroughly versed in military ai faits. The State would lose a fine Executive, but theyounger sons would gain " mni\j\ prf>VBfT,:T^- Governor Thompson's resignation would put Lieut Gov. John C. Sheppard in the Executive chair, and he would proba bly be the youngest Governor the State ever had, and doubtless one of the best. Ile is a representative of the young Democracy of the State, and as such would be specially ac ceptable to this part of the party, while his wise and conservative ad ministration would make him just SH popular with the older members." Tbe Dead Mao. Tin Sparta Ishmaclite in comment ing on the death of General Grant, says : "Grant is dead. No one want ed him to die, but the honest hearted people of this section were as indiffer ent to the news of his death as they would have been to that ol a promi nent Jersey bull. Ile had never done anything to entitle him to their grati tude or respect, and in truth he had neither. The columns of our ex changes are filled with false and ful some praises of the deceased, but that same sense of self respect which deterred us from acting towards him with the humility of a spaniel while he lived will prevent our indulging in any laudatory resolutions about Lia opeu grave. It is always right and proper to speak the truth. The seutiment of the pagan philosopher "speak nothing of the dead but good" is RB appro priate now as when penned, but in no respect violated by a truthful chroni cle of the character and record ol the dead. To speak only the truth is to speak good, if a Southern man will point to a single instance when Grant manifested the slightest degree of charity or justice io deal ing with our people during, al. the close, or since the war which was not necessitated by the integrity of his "aorj^p-rules- of (lie elvi I - ?z?ow?rTare, let it be recorded. Wo have expressed our views of this man in these columns time and again, and it is unnecessary to repeat them. They have undergone uo change by reason of the accident ul his death. They were true then, are true now, will always be true. It ?H indicative of a wretched state of |iul>lic morals that any man of his official and commercial character and associations can maintain the good opinion and respect of the people of the North even though he hail been so successful in maintaining the su Ere macy of their arms on the field of attie. May the lime soon come when vir tue and integrity will be the only passports to public honor and private respect. Slate News. Thomas D. Prentiss, son of the Rev.

Dear Sir-During tho fall of 1884 I ginned about 450 bales cotton with tho 00 SAW AUGUSTA COTTON GIN, tiring for power a G Horse Birdsall Engine I usually ginned 450 lbs lint cotton an hour Tho gin cleans tho seod perfectly, and the lint from it sold last season in Augusta at A 'o'?, per pound above ibo lint, from other gins in my section. My patrons woro well ploasod with my work. Tho gin is now almost in perfect ordor. Yours truly, WALTER TAL UK KT. AUGUSTA, GA , December 23rd, 1884. Mr. O. M. STONK, Manager Augusta Colton Gin Go. Detr Sir-During tho past season I have ginned 400 bales cotton on the 00 Saw AuguRta Gin. It clonus tho seed perfectly, makes an unusually fino sample and a splendid turn out. My gin has not failed to maka a yield of over ono pound lint to 3 pounds seed. My usual limo nf ginning a bale of cotton is from 40 to CO min utes. I can recommend tho Augusta Cotton Gin to tho public COG BURN A STEVENS. Mr. J. H. Coglin rn, of Cogbum it Stevena, also states that his gin has, during the entire season, yielded moro lint from seed colton than any of tho gins used in his section. This result was not obtained from ono plantation ouly, but from many plantations, since be used it as a traveling ginnery with a Birdsall Traction Engine. The splendid yield was due solely fr? the Augusta Cotton Gin, since drouth had caused short crops, and therefore the staple could not have boen ex ceptionally good. O. M. STONE, Manager.
