The Parksville High School, un der the administration of Prof. Toole and his assistant, Miss Essie Jones, now foots up a total of eighty pupils. They will give an entertainment for the benefit of * the school on the Friday afternoon e and night before Christmas. Every body is expected to attend, and everybody is going to attend. ii Tobacco Culture. | v . As a number of our readers pro pose to go into tobacco culture *j next year there is one rule should be borne in mind, that the tobacco weed partakeb in color and texture of the soil upon which it is grown, for instance : a bright gray top soil T with a yellowish subsoil will pro- i duce tobacco of high ' color and grain, in fact this kind of soil ' makes the best and highest priced 1 tobacco, what is called by the trade, t "wrappers." The filling grades do best on a gravelly, or sandy soil, where the subsoil is of a brownish character. Dark heavy plug to bacco is grown on deep rich land with a reddish subsoil. Hymen at the Altar. Wednesday morning last, Dec. i 7th, Mr. John K. Wannamaker, of \ Orangeburg, and Miss Chloe Wat son, of Edgefield, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The groom is the youngest son of the 11 late Dr. Wannamaker, of Orange burg, and the bride the eldest daughter of Mr. John C. Watson, near Ridge Spring. The ceremony wa? performed at "Clouds Creek," the beautiful country home of the j 1 bride's father, by the Rev. A. B. Watson, brother-in-law and uncle of the contracting parties. The, bride wore a lovely blue serge, trimmed with feathers and smoke colored buttons, a traveling dress, as she was to take the train imme diately after the ceremony. The occasion was indeed beautiful and impressive in its simplicity. After the solemn exercises a sumptnous repast was enjoyed. At 2 p. m. the bride and groom took leave for their future home in Orangeburg, where they begin life anew, happy as the days are long. J. M.

Tho meetings closed Tuesday evening. A wonderful work has been done in our midst, and we hope that the good seed sown may bring forth an abundant harvest. We believe tfie chief reasons for Mr. Fife's success in the work is his utter dependence on his Master, his faith, and nia reliance on the promises of God. He holds to the book of God's word and makes continual references to it, and we know that there is more true power in that than in pages of man's eloquence. On Monday morning Mr. Fife preached on Forgiveness. He Baid bhat the people in Edgefield doubt less thought they were having a grand meeting, but that he wasn't satisfied, and that something must je wrong. He believed that there ar ere numbers of people in Edge ield at enmity with each other, ind he desired that they would be -econciled. During a song, num bers of people become reconciled ind there wore many hearty hand ibakes. Mr. Fife said that God vouldn't listen to the prayers of a nan who had malice in his heart, since that meeting still greater ;ood has been accomplished in our own. Sunday afternoon Mr. Fife ?reached a sermon to the colored >eople. The Opera House was xowded, and the gallery was filled. Places were reserved for the rhite people who desired to go, .nd quite a number were present: ir. Fife said that you could judge he spiritual ii of a place by the .mount of it th&t the colored peo ile displayed, and that the colored eople in Edgefield were but a bit aore enthusiastic on the subject f religion than the whites and hat they, the whites, were frozen 3 death. They sang their familiar ymns, and also the "Old Time Religion" and "I'll be There When he General Roll is Called." Every one is delighted with Mr. 'ife, and we hope that it may fall o our lot to have him in our town gain ere long. ?ne Who Has Known Mr. Fife from His Boyhood Speaks of Him and His Work in Our Town. Mr. W. P. Fife, who is now far amed as an expounder of tha octrines of God, is here holding very successful series of meetings, rreat crowds have been in attend nce upon each and every meeting, nd many a lost soul has been iven unto God! His presentations f Biblical facts backed up by uperb illustrations will kmgbe emembered by the writer, whose cquaintance with this most es imable gentleman reaches back to he days when he knew not God. Last Sabbath a feeling of gen rine joy came over us as this aighty actor of God pointed out o his many hearers the only glit ering pathway that leads to the verlasting home, home with .ngeis, heme with God I Mr. Fife- is truly a great and ;ood man and ls doing glorious york for the people of Edgefield md the territory adjacent thereto, rhrough him the light of Heaven las dawned upon hundreds in this ricinity. Mr. Fife will have closed his neetingB here after to-day much o the'regret of all our people, ^ould that he could stay with us onger and instill into our hearts he great need of salvation. S.

DEAR ADVERTISER : Super-abund ance of work and scarcity of local items together, have kept us silent quite a while. Another thing, the sweeping Democratic successes hav ing borne us bodily into the ethe real regions where we did nothing but sing the praises of Democratic triumph, and holler for Cleveland, and from which regions we had hardly come before it was an nounced that Ernest Gary (hurrah for Edgefield I ) had been elected Judge, (hurrah for Gary 1) With all this we, could not write foi "ex uberating" even if we had had locals pouring in on us faster than the fall of autumnal leaves. What is it that Edgefield wautB that she doesn't get? We notice with pride that Edge field's delegation is making itself felt in Columbia. Every one we believe serving on committees, aud their ,votes on various questions indicate that they know what they are doing and what ought to be done. With a Constitutional conven* tion and a change in the area of counties, why can't Edgefield be divided and the Saluda section be given a court house? Let some young man, with the best interests of his. country's prosperity and the advancement of the Saluda section at heart, be ready two years hence to advocate a division of the county and win forever the love and gratitude of that noble people. "Uncle" George Tillman is right when he says the day is not fai distant when we must and will have smaller counties, and a nat ural sequence of that will be more towns, more railroads, more and far better schools-a greater diffu sion of knowledge-more energy more intellect, and a prosperity unprecedented. Let us cut up th* big counties, draw the people neaiei together in the isolated district? and get on the high road to pros perity, while Cleveland is Presi dent, Ben Tillman Governor, Tal bert Congressman, and Ernes' Gary Judge ! !

AIKEN, S. C., Dec. 12.-Oneo: the saddest tragedies that has eve] occurred in the annals of our cit) took place here this evening at ri o'clock, in which Mayor Chafes an<3 Chief of Police Gaston were proba bly mortally wounded and Capt, T. G. Lamar killed. This afternoon Mayor R. A. Chafee received a tele gram from Mr. Lamar's brother stating that he (Lamar) had left their mines under the influence of whiskey with a pistol and the avowed intention of killing him. The Mayor notified Chief of Police Gaston of the telgram so that he would not be taken unaware. Lamar reached the city about 6 o'clock and went immediately to Blaylock & Co.'s saloon and began to- drink. Upon being approached by Mayor and Chief Gaston,Lamar said that he would willingly submit to arrest and started out of the bar with them. When they reach8dihe>door he drew his pistol andy shot Mayor Chafee, and then turned to shoot Chief Gaston, who struck him with his club. Lamar then staggered and shot him, and turned to Chafee. again but Chief Gaston had by this time drawn his pistol and. shot Lamar through the heart. Chafee and Gaston were - immediately taken to their homes in carriages and Lamar to the Knights of Pythias Hall, where he will remain under the vigil of members of the order until the coroner arrives in the morning. The trouble grew out of the arrest and incarceration of Lamar some weeks ago by Chief Gastm and Mayor Chafee. Lamar at that time was ill-treateng his family and at their instigation was ar rested and lodged in jail. It will be remembered that be,while drinking had a shooting affray with Mr. H. H Jordan on the streets a few months ago, and since that time has at intervals been drinking heavily. He was, when sober, a most amiable husband and father and splendid financier. But, like most men, drink completely dethroned his reason. Mayor Chafee is shot through the stomach and Gaston through the left lung. Lamar was senior member of the big kaolin firm of Lamar Bros., and was loved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and three childran. Mayor Chafee is one of the most prominent gen tlemen in the city and county. Chief Gaston is a gentlemen es teemed by every one and a fine police officer. Those nearest to them hope for the best, but grave doubts of their recovery are entertained. ANOTHER ACOOUNT OF THE AFFAIR. AIKEN, S. C., Dec. 12.-Aiken had a big sensation which will not soon be forgotten, This after noon Mayor R. A. Chafee received a telegram from Mr. Cal. Lamar brother of Thomas G. Lamar, the kaolin king, that T. G. Larmar was coming to Aiken from Lang ley and swore vengeance against him. T. G. Lamar has been on a num ber of periodical drunks, and Chafee fined him once or twice. This evening at 6:45, Lamar drove up in the city andwenttoBlalocks & Co.'s to get a drink. While drinking, Mayor R. A. Chafee and Chief of Police Robert Gaston walked up oh either side of him and arrested him. He told them to wait till he was through drink ing and he would go with them. When they got to the door Lamar had his hands in his overcoat pocket, and shot Mayor Chafee through the same in the abdomen. Pulling his pistol instantly, he shot at Chief Gaston, but missed him. Chief Gaston clubbed him to his knees. Lamar fired and shot Gas ton through the left lung just be low the heart, then Chafee fired and shot Lamar through the heart. Lamar fell down on the sidewalk and was a dead man. The body was moved across the street to the Knights of Pythias Hall, of whicn he was a member, and his wife and children notified. While the best is hoped for, Messrs. Chaffee and Gaston are dangerously wounded. Thos. G. Lamar, the dead man, was a power in the kaolin business and a thorough business man. Messrs. Chafee and Gaston did nothing but their duty, and the city is sad tonight on account of the sad occurrence. Confederate Survivors Associa tion. It is proposed to organize a Con federate Survivors Association for Edgefield county. To this end all the old soldiers are requested to meet at the court-house on sales day in January, 1893. Nearly every county in South Carolina has such an organization, whynot Edgefield? Come, let us all meet once more and fight our battles over again in memory. Many of .ur comrades have gone hence, and in a few years the very name "Confederate soldier" will live only in song and story. MANY OLD SOLDIERS. An Oyster's Sad Thought. It all happened in one of ocean'i caves, where the star fishes love tc jj linger and . seaweeds cling affectionately to the insensible rock. t An oyster rushed widlyinto the ^ humble home his industry and frugality had provided. He was very much agitated. His wife, arrested in her house hold duties, turned pale. "Oyster alive," she gasped, "what has happened?" "My darling," he impreisively exclaimed, "good by!" She sank into a seat with a low moan. A terrible fear gnawed at her bieast. "Are you called to the upper world?" Her voice died on her lips. She read in his face that her worst fears were confirmed. "Merciful heavens!" Burying her face in her hands she wept copiouly. Hastily gather ing together a change of under clothing, the oyster stood at the door and cast about him one last glance at the beloved place he would see no more. Suddenly his wife sprang to her feet. "My life," she cried, "I will go with you." He shook his nea J. "No," he groaned, "I must go alone. I am wanted for a church sociable." Dashing a tear from his eye, he kissed her cheek and was gone. When A Woman Buys Shoes. "Please try the left shoe on," said the lady who sat next to me in a shoe shop the other afternoon. "Why was that?' I asked the man who had served her when she had departed. %: "Hole in her stocking I expect. You would hardly believe many ladies have holesjin their stockings We always know it. Its, 'try the right shoe on,' or the left; 'never mind the other.' Some of them say, 'I'm afraid I have a little break ia ray stocking, I didn't expect to get my shoes tried to-day. And often the break horrified them having grown to a big break during the day. "Oh, yes; little breaks come sometimes, and the lady herself does not know it until the shoe is removed. In these cases she naturally says nothing, but just blushes. The hole is always a genuine case of accident when a woman takes it that way. Sometims they gasp, so that we shall see how surprised they are ; but then some women pretend that. We usually tell the real thing."-The Million.
