Try a sack or half a sack of aeid on an acre of cow pease and you will be as tonished at the luxuriance of the vines and the abundance of ttie pease.

Josh Harris and Jack Burnett and Bill Murrah and Bob Jack son Getting Rich in South Georgia. To thc Editor Edyefidd Adverti ser : Having been away from the hills and rocks of o?d Edgefield for some time, and having heard but 1 it-Tie from the old home will peu th 'se few lines hoping it may be of some interest to some of your many readers. We ;eft Edgefield on the 17th of December last and arrived at. Sco'. land Ga., on the same day having traveled a distance of 2o5 railes, all by? rail, somo of which was through as poor land as our eyes ever feasted on and some very fine. We don't inteud giving a synopsis of our trip , as it was a dash through with no time to eoe or learn anything on the road. At Scotland we found Mr, Josh Harris and Mr. Jack Burnett both of your county and both as you all know are mad* up of hospital ity, sociality, and general good; they delight in talking of Edge field ar.d the people thereof. Alter spending a most pleasant Christmas with the good people of Scotland, Mr. Harris and I began to ramble over South Georgia in search of a location, which we found in Montgomery county in tho forks of two railroads near the line ol' Telfair county. And here are as fins.farming lands asean be found, and as regards health there never lived a more healthy people than ve have right here. The wa ier is as pure and cold as that of Edgefield; in short if there be any who are tired of South Caroli na and contemplate a long move we don't think they can rind a bet ter place than South Georgia. I have 25 acres iu conon and think I will make 15 bales; it is about knee high all over. My corn ?8 fine. 1 have 18 acree that will make me 20 or 25 bushel per acre. Mr. Josh Harris has 150 acres in cot ton he thinks will make 100 bales. Mr. Jack Burnett cf Edgefield has 50 acres in cotton that will make him 30 or 35 bales of cotton if nothing happens t. it, it is the best I ever saw for the time of the year and is full of blooms now. Mr. Rohert G. Jackson of Edge field chopped my cotton crop 25 acres in nine days, can you beat that? Wishing the dear old ADVERTI SER mach success I wi M close my few extemporary remarks. Yours as ever, W. E. MURRAH. Scotland, Ga., May 31, '96. The Crops and People Around Folf?. The health of tho community is especially good. Rains, refreshing rains, have fallen in the last few days and all vegetation is looking r.pwar:!. Crops in this immediate neigh borhood aro fine, oats were light owing to the insufficiency of rain while heading. Mr. G. D. Minis tho successful mill b'uilder, is putting up a splen did mill and gin on Little creek, which he expects to have in run ning order by 1st of Augu-1. Then we can all have new corn bread and muffins. Mm. Elizabeth Whatley and Miss Nannie are down on a visit to friend and relatives. A double welcome is extended to them by their old neighbors and friends. Mi^s Fannie Bussey >s spending this week with her sister Mrs. Os car Tiiumerraan, and a certain gallant whistles and looks long ingly over tho way. Miss Lizzie Kubanks who has been leaching at Pine Grove 6chool house is very much missed since her h-avestaking. W? look for you back soon Miss Lizzie, do not dis appoint us.

These giants will biush away the cloud* from the horizon, and above the eastern hilltops will stand the gen tle m'.?on of knowledge-big, bright, and silvery. Some weeks ago we noticed a very able article from your gifted correspondent, "Van Star." He is on the right line. While his theo ries may not be carried into execu ti.m, on account of love of whiskey uti the part of some and desire to money in others, yet I give bim my hand on it. The proudest thing that could he said of Saluda would be that she has no liquor establish ment within her borders. But alas alackaday! how ofreu are theory and practice at variance. Prohi bitionists have to see many things in tl:is old matter of fact wo^ld that by no means conform to the High Ideal. Well, it makes us sad to read over the proceedings of any con vention now and'see the name of dear old Edgefield. We then-keen ly realize that we ca?i no longer claim that proud name. No more are the etirriug memories attached Ito that word our boasted heritage. Majestic law but uttered a single word and our birthright-being called an Edgefieldian-was snatch ed from us forever. But there is one thing no law can take from us. We can say we were born io Edge field and none dares dispute it. Senator Irby is in the last part of act V in his political drama. He is a man of no great intellect ual power and we have always thought thst old Ben was the mov ing cause in all all his wonderful "political general sh if)," but in moral courage and steadfastness, Irby;8 enemies must even adroit that he has always shown himself a man. His siu was over-presump tion ; he dared to match his own paltry power against the most splendid political genius of our ume3 and behold the result ! But he dies.game and in the pit. We see Col. Keitt speaks of en tering the senatorial tight. He is the best informed man in out State on the history of political science. His knowledge of theoretical fi nance is also profound. As an or ator he yields to no man in South Carolina. But there is nothing prac tical about him-he is a theorist, a vi8ionaire, a moon gazer-one who while his head is moving among the clouds, his feet are apt to be standing in a mudhole.
