It ls but right that Saluda shouh have a county of her own but tin present lines are not 'by auy raeann uatisfactory to a goodly number of t IK people in the limits of the cut-off. Our village Baptist church has sen the following delegates to the unioi meeting at Horns Creek church: Di U R. Uwaltney, O. Sheppard, T. B Lanham, J. H. jjautelou, and A. ti Tompkins. Semphronicus desires us to say tha be is not io the habit of apologizing but feels it incumbent on him to-raak ant polony to Bill Snooks for drag ging him into a controversy abou whioh he knew nothing. His mistak was a very natural one however, an? he is sorry it was .made. Brooks Mason, Esq., desires us t state that, he fully contemplates tak lng op Iiis residence-moving bis bei and board-with the good people o Saluda, the new county; that in thi section he first saw the light, and her also is where he expects to last see it Self-denial ls the one thing mos difficult to inculcate and always har to practice, especially when there ar good things to eat within reach. Bu there ia no self-denial necessary if y.o take Simmons Liver Regulato". 'I promotes digestion, prevents Di pep sia and a dose after a hearty meal c delicacies will prevent any ai seo m for lt's the best good-night toddy. In order to get local legislatio properly before the General Assembl lt is necessary to give notice for slxt' days so that objection, if there be an j eau be raised. If there is any con tem plated legislation of this characte from any locality in the county, tb necessary preliminary steps should b taken to insure success. The Town Council will probabl abandon the scheme of collecting a tw .militaron town property this yeai The Legislature gave us "live mills and the council can't eve? run two o em. The council however, is no*, t blame butfthat blamed Legislature. C course everybody is glad, Council in eluded, that we are to escape for on sacre year, at least, the payment of town tas. All taxes are odious but i seems to us that a home made tax i the worst of all: Cape. S. B. Ryan of Horns Creek rc joices with Saluda in that she has s last got her county. Stan's grand mother, a Miss Moore, was of the tia luda side and was cheated out of he property over there.

EDITOR: On', lust Sunday s the ordination of two deacoija a 1 Antioch was an occasion that wil be long-remembered by every on" present. Rev. John Lake, assiste* by Rev. J. Mealing officiated Tho services were Bolemn and im pre88ive. No better selection coule , have been mado. Both gentlemen Bro. Jas. T. Mims and Bro. Luthe * Bruuson are men whose lives ar ? exemplary and possess many trait of character of their noble am ) honored fathers. May they emu I late their virtues, and may Go bless them in their work for th up-building of His kingdom. There seems to be some misun derstanding as to Mr. Lake's ap pointments at Antioch. Hereafte preaching will be had at ll o'cloc on every fourth Sunday, Sunda School at 10, and Y. M. C. A. meei ing at 9. To all of these service the publicare invited without w gard to their religious proclivi ties. Mr. C. T. Talbert, of August? has been up to .soe the home folki Messrs.

We are delighted to hear tha Mrs. Frank Sharpton will resum the exercises.of her school at M: Jas. T. Mima's soon. It gives us pleasure to chronicl the improved condition of the ir fant child of Dr. and Mrs. W. I Prescott. G. Another Suggestion to our Coi? vention. MR. EDITOR: I have observe that great injustice has been dor to good citizens moving from otl er border states to Georgia in coi sequence of requiring a residenc of twelve months before they ca vote. I ootioe that some one i your convention would make tb residence two years before allov ing a vote. I have seen good fa: mers, some landowners and othei renters of tue first order move ii to our State from yours in Decen ber or January to permanently ri side or for several years at leas who were denied the right to vol in November thereafter 'simply bi cause they had* not been in th State twelve months. By this the could not vote for Prasideut an} where or cast a vote at all for thie years for State officers or five fe President because they ijad nt lived in the State oue or tw month* longer. Reason demand that such who make crops or pm chane bornes should not be requii Exhaust are made to produce larg? use of Fertilizers rich in Write for our " Farmers' Guide is brim full of useful information for will make and save you money. A GERMAN ed to reside longer than eight months in county and State before they can cast a vote, I mean es pecially those coming from an ad joining State, To illustrate; I have had interests in your State for a number of years and may de sire to move into it next January. If I do I cannot 1 ote at all next year for State or "ederal officers. But give me the 'ht to vote af ter a residence of tmonths and I assure you I will ie a ballot as honestly if not as . diligently as any South Carolinian. ia. P. ELAM. Leverett, Ga., Sept. 21. ie l ie Pedagogue Gives His Concluding Article. MR. EDITOR : I was a warm ad vocate for special school districts, but I wanted a common centre and district laid out in proper form. As it is the lines are as er attic as Semphrouicus. I wanted special taxes to ruu our schools eight months but as the people are not sufficiently advanced on lines of progress it was premature. In this I have been consistent. With regard to the map of Salu da county, I had finished it as r. copy from Boles's map which is incorrect and by Forrests survey. It was a correct copy. I had to 1er ve home a day or. so and my girls took my water colors and tri ed to paint the townships ?.ud they botched it up. I had not time to make another and bad to eend that ou. If he refers to that- to create the impression that I was either incompetent or dishonest he is guilty of doing me a public wrong without a pat t ide of cause. By all of his publications in the pa pers he has tried to belittle aud injury every ouewith whom he has ccme in contact. I love for a fool to call me crazy. All the expert workers, inventors, and thinkers of the world have been called cranks. Even the children were taught that Colum bus was crazy. My long right band was pawing for Saluda county and all that I advocate .was and ig for the peo ples good. He* tries to misrepre sent me in everything. I n?ver at tacked preachers in their legiti mate sphere. I do contend that they should not engage in secu lar pursuits. I have not seen any argument to disprove that the Catholic church was not responsi ble for the dark .ages. All this ie by way of explanation, and-1 am done with the controversy. Those who wish to be satisfied as to truth let them refer to the ADVERTISES for the last 3 or 4 months. PEDAGOGUE.

I needs not to be told that Mr. Lot captivated the crowd which wa thoroughly convinced that he i '.he right mau in the right place He was followed by Prof. Arthu Bedenbaugh of Newberry wh< made a ueat little talk in which hi said some nice things about Edge field. On Friday^ we went to Mr. H. D Sea8e's school exhibition. Quite i crowd was assembled, among otb era was a large number of teach ers. Prof. Sease began his exer cise8 by a prayer from Rev.-8?wle? our former pastor. The first thinj on the list was a spelling ben.
