When a relative or friend is visiting you, or you; have anything oise of a newsy character we would be glad if you would hand it to us. Ex-Governor John C. Sheppard, of Edgefield, is spoken of as a probable candidate for United States Senator. He would fill the office with credit to himself and the State.-Walterboro Courier. Baldwin's Guano is the best. "Make bay while the sun shines"' and haul your Baldwin's Amrao niated guano while the roads are good. Supply on hand at W. W. ADAMS'S. The McCormick News says: There are some widows around McCormick. "We believe if the subject was mentioned by the proper parties they would answer favorably. Try it, some of you widowers at a distance. There were $2,310 paid to ?0& Edgefield county pensioners dur ing the fiscal year just ended; all Confederate veterans and widows. -*bJ(^^^ufort county had only one pen ^sToTTeST-and Georgetown had two. Spartauburg has the largest list 203. Rev. W. T. Hundley preached for the srud'-utsof Clemson Col lege on Sunday last. He was much pleased with the outlook and the inlook at Clemson, and says there are 500 applicants for admission in February to the four hundred now in attendance. Mr. Henry Mays aged sixty-five years, died at the home of Mr. John M. Proctor, near Dysons in this county, on last Friday, and was buried at Fellowship Church near his old home on the next day. Mr. Mays has been unwell for a num ber of years previons to his death. On Tuesday Gov. Tillman com muted the sentence of John Dubois, once of this vicinity, to imprison ment in the county jail at Barn well for one year, provided he or his friends pay the jail fees monthly in advance. If this is not done he will be sent to the penitentiary. There is to be a Ferris wheel at the Augusta Exposition. The Evening News of last Friday says : Mr. Henry C. Carroll and Mr. Ashley Howell are up to their eves in the Ferris wheel business, and they are busy having the castings for an 80 foot conci rn made at Lombard's. Mr. Carroll is amover and he will make a success of his wheel as the Exposition to a dead certainty. If any gentleman within the sound of our voice would like a nice two-dollar-a-day job to drive bob-tail horse cars in Washington; D. C., let him write a letter to B. P. Perry, of that city. He, Perry, is in the horse car business at pres ent, and is very obliging, especially to new converts. Address in your own hand writing, not necessarily for publication, but that the horse car people may judge from the fist you write whether you could pull a bell rope over a mule's spine, or not. As the day approaches for the assembling of the State Confer ence, our village Methodists,indeed our whole people, are becoming ex ercised over the loss of Rev. A. B. Watson from the pastorate of this church. Is that law or rule of the Methodist Church that restricts the length of a pastorate at one place to four years immutable? If not. it is hoped; that some.'means may hn devised to keep this popu lar and indefatigable worker among US. It would be invidious to say that Mr. Watson has done more for Methodism in Edgefield in three years than had been done in all the years since the war-and wo will not say it. But we will think so all the same. Lot thf beautiful new Methodist Church in our town-a monument to th h reverend gentleman's persevering zeal and piety-do the talking. Mr. George Wise, a handsome son of Dr. George Wise, of Trenton, is clerking for W. W. Adams. Mr. Elbert Mundy, of the Old Wells section, sends us a number of magnificent mammoth yams. Mr. Mundy made sixty-five bushels on a quarter of an acre. If you want a nice breakfast, try my silver back Mackerel and spiced Pigs Feet. W. W. ADAMS. A cotton boll containing the un usual number of 26 pods is claimed to be in the possession of James F. Williams, of Villa Rica, Ga. Four pods are generally about all that are found in each boll. When it became known for a cer tainty that the Sherman bill would be repealed by the Senate stocks and bonds went up while cotton went down. Is this the kind of good times the repeal of that meas ure is to bring? Jos. H. Cantelou, Esq., has rent ed au office in the Chronicle build iug, up Btairs, and his law card apyears in this issue of the AD VERTISER. This young gentlemon has the grit and the perseverance that prognosticate success in his chosen profession. The South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church will convene in Sumter, S. C., on the 6th of De cember. Members of boards, dele gates, and ministers who do not expect to attend, are requested to notify A. J. Stokes, Sumter, at once. Sam Jonee recently preached to the darkies at Dyersburg, Ky. After the sermon, a good old sister came to him, and srid: "Brother Jones, God bless you, you is the preacher for me; I understand every word you say. You preaches just like a nigger ; you has a while skin, but, thank God, you has a black heart." At another service held for the colored people the preacher who prayed the opening prayer asked the Lord to "bless Brother Jones, and help him to preaoh; and, O Lord, when he stands before Thee a wretch un done, have mercy upon him, and take his feet out of the miry clay, and place them on the Rock, where hope nor mercv can never reach him." Giuliotise Burned. The ginhouse of Dr. D. P. La grone was burned one day last week. It was supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The loss was about fifteen hundred dollars, with five hundred dollars insurance in the'Farmers' Insur ance Company. Advertised Letters. List of letters remaining in the postoffice at Edgefield C.

Devil's Headquarters. Col. John Terry says that the devil has had his headquarters on Log Creek ever since the revolu tionary war, and has not been dis turbed except on two occasions; once when Lorenzo Dow in 1785 preached at Moore's meetinghouse and gave him some hard raps, and again this summer past when Mr. Watson conducted a tent meeting on the bank of this turbid stream. The colonel says that the "old boy" has changed his headquarters since the tent meeting, but wouldn't tell us exactly where he now encamps. investigate and Report. While investigating the various county offices, we think it would be well for the grand jury which meets next week to examine the county dispensary at this place and make a report of its workings and management. It is a new feature iu our government, and should have the patient and con scientious attention of the grand inquisitors of the county. The people generally are entitled to know, officially, how the dispensary is being run, how it operates as a reform measure, and also of its revenue, if any. Weather for October. Weather Observer C. A. Long, of the Trenton statior., makes the fol lowing report of the weather for the month of October: Mean temperature, 67.4 Maximum tem., on 1st and 9th, 82 Minimum tem., on 31st, 59 Total rainfall, inches, 5.29 Greatest rainfall, 1 day, 13th, 2.90 Number of clear days, 16 Partiv cloudy, ll Cloudy, 4 Prevailing direction of wind, east.

The brick building now being erected in Edgefield for Mr. Alvin Hart is about eighty feet long, forty feet wide, has two enormous doors, front and rear, large enough to admit a twe-horse wagon, large windows, two front and two rear, and three stove flues on the west side.

A Hard Winter. Loren Cushman, au aged fanner of Plymouth, Chenango Co., N. Y., has quite a reputation as a reliable weather prophet, and whenever he makes a prognostication his friends and acquaintances regard it as worthy of credence. Mr. Cushman believes the coming winter will be an unusually severe one, and bases his opinion on the following grounds : First, the husks of corn aie much thicVer than usual, auu of a deep orange tint, instead of a light lemon hue. Second, the hog's melt runs jagged, instead of smooth. Third, the goose bone taken from a May-raised fowl shows larger and whiter spots than customary, which resemble the canals of Mars. Fouith, the crop of nuts of all kinds is immense and the squirrels and chipmunks are laying in prodigious stores early in the season. Fifth, the partridges and woodcock are light ing in barnB and outhouses, instead of trees, and ducks are flying in U-shaped, instead of V-shaped flocks toward the South. Sixth, the green frogs are changing their skins and are even now seeking cool wells and springs for their winter quarters. Mr. Cushman believes the coming winter will be the most severe this country has experienced since the winter of 1833. Jurors, First Week.

News Notes from Faifa. MR. EDITOR : Cotton picking is about over, and most of it has been sold. Some predict a rise in the cotton market after Christmas. But all ?tbe sanie the citizens around Faifa can boast of having more ''hog and hominy" for an other year than for several years previous. Mr. M. Timmerman, one of our leading and best farmers, has nine very fine hogs to kill an J his barn full of corn. That is nothing new for our friend though. M rs. J. B. Timmerman, of Parks ville, is on a visit to friends and relatives iu this section. The angel of death has again visited our peaceful community and claimed the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. George Sharpton, on the 31st ult. Mr. Willie Timmerman, from Langley, is at his father's quite sick. Willie has the heart-felt sympathy of his many warm friends in Edgefield in the loss of his devoted wife. Master Charlie, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Hammond, who has been suffering with rheumatism for some weeks is improving rapidly under the skillful treatment ot Dr. J. N. Crafton. Mis* Sallie Dorn spent last week with Miss Mattie Timmerman. Miss Sallie is a lovable girl and makes friends wherever she goes. The union meeting of the secoud division convened with Parksville Baptist Church. There was quite a large crowd in attendance on Sunday. The missionary sermon was preached bj Rev. G. W. Bus sey. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Dorn spent last Thursday at the home of Mr. M. Timmerman. Come again, old neighbors, you are always wel come. More anon. AARON. Faifa, S. C. Items from Newberry College. MR. EDITOR: I am again at Newberry College though not in the Collegiate department, but am plodding my way through theology. The college has more students now than it has had since the war. How is that forcucceBs. Some one said the other day that tho Jfame of Newbeny Colleae was spreading from the rugged shores of the Atlantic to the peaceful shores of the Pacific. I may say it has spread over much of the territory, as we have one student from Pennsylvania in the east, and one from Minnesota in the northwest. The "state" of Edgefield is not behind either. She still has her representation of noble young men, of which Edgefield has many. We have had some bilious fever among the students, but nothing serious, we are glad to say, as most of the patients are conva lescent. Miss Mary Boyd gave us a candy-pulling some evenings ago, at which we enjoyed ourselves hugely. One of the boys in play ing crossquestions asked a young lady, "you look line you could remember thirty years, eau you? Thinking he had by his ques tion outwitted any auserer that could be given, all smiled, but when the young lady replied, you look tough "enough to last for ever," the whole house roared with laughter. The old Excelsior sociely is still on a boom. "Excelsior excels The Phrenies do well The excelsior'll out go The Phrenies you know." Prof. A. G. Voigt gave the theological students a supper Thursday evening. He and his highly esteemed wife made every thing as pleasant for us as pos sible. Of them it may be weill said. "Those who know them best love them most." "The young people's luther alliance is still moving along in its U3ual progre; g ve way. Mr. Geo. S. Bearden who aided us so effectively in our ^meeting at Good Hope last summer is sup plying a charge in the "Sad Hills' of Lexington county. B. New'wrry College. Hampton's Manifesto. The Stute "I have waited to ascertain the views of the Democratic press of South Carolina, for these papers represent in my opinion, the only true Democratic sentiment of the State, and this sentiment should be expressed by what are called the Conservative papers. My own judgment is clear that the time has come when the line should be drawn between those who stand on the Ocala platform and those who stand on that of the National Democracy. No man who upholds the former can claim properly to be a Democrat, and unless our peo ple choose to support the fallacies of the Ocala adherents or to be led into the Populist party the true Democrats of the State should organize to maintain the principles of the Democratic party as set forth in the Chicago platform. "If my Democratic fellow citizens agree with me that this is. the true policy to be adopted I shall at once proceed to organize National Democratic clubs throughout the State and I shall exert my utmost efforts to keep the State where it properly belongs in the great Democratic column. I believe that it can be done, for our people will scarcely now in the hour of victory, forsake the flag they followed steadfastly and so faithfully when that flag went down in defeat. Unscrnpulous demagogues have by false promises misled many of our most honest men, and they have brought shame upon our proud State. "I still have an .abiding faith in the men who ]f ol lowed the Starry Cross through trials 'and carnage, who bore with the heroism of mar tyrs the sufferings of the Recon struction era, and who, with a devotion and pluck never sur passed, rescued the State in 76. Those men cannet forget the past nor can they forsake the banner under which the viotory of 76 was won. If I can once ?more give aid to my State I shall gladly enlist in her service, and I shall rejoice to fain those who seek to maintain h or welfaee, to protect [her honor against shame and disgrace." WADE HAMPTON. The Florence Messenger, speak ing of Clevelands opposition toa compromise on the siiver issue, says, "when tho news was circula ted last Tuesday, the price of cot ton immediately rose 16 points, this seems a fair indication of the high price the staple will bring, when the repeal is an assured fact." It is just such reckless promises on behalf of-Cleveland's friends, that jeopardise the exist ence of the Democratic party. To carry out their aims, they have promised heaven and earth, and the enevitable failure of fulfill ment that awaits, will meet at the ballot box a people "unwilling longer to trust them. Any sensible man knows that neither the iepeal of the Sherman law nor free silver, will immediately restore prosperity but since Cleveland has so promi sed, the people haven righi of ful fillment, and if men can's pick up $10 bills in the road after the Sherman law ii repeled, it is uot because tnis administration has not. indirectly led them to believe so.-Reform Advance.
