Mr. Joe Holland liassent us an Irish potato through which a sprig of wire grass has grown. How did it get there? Did the grass grow through the potato or'how? It is a great curi osity. It will be sent to Sam Colgan as a hoodoo to conjure Spaniards when he reaches the Moro Castle. Capt. Stan Ryan says that in the Confederate war the Confederates always won the victory when ever they went into battle hungry. This, Stan says, was a rule that had no excep tions. He came to Edgefield on Satur day expressly to see Gen. Butler and to put him on to this racket, but the General had gone to Washington. Mr. H. T. Hendrix, former stenog rapher for N. G. Evans, Esq., and who made a rao3t patriotic effort to get into the United States army, is in Edgefield fora few days. Mr. Hendrix was rejected by the medical examiners on acconnt of his weight, and enlisted a second time in another company and was rejected again. He still hopes, however, to get in the army.

C This elegant seaside hotel, with 300 rooms, is the largest and best equipped in the South. The Messrs. Pettyjohn, of Augusta, Ga., are in charge and will be glad to see you or to hear from you.

Banks is a candidate for supervisor of Saluda county. If Joe lived in Edgefleld we would elect him again.

Long's weather re port for May, published herewith, we gather that May was- short on rain, only a little more than half an inch having fallen during the whole of that month. Of course we will have it this month, if the doctrine of compensation holds good.

Scott, H. W. Wright, and William B. Coleman. Death of Mrs. Hilton. Mrs. James G. Hilton died last Fri day night at her home near Fellow ship church in this county. This was the saddest death of the year, as Mrs. Hilton was in her usual health Friday morning, had prepared a picnic din j ner for the family, and Mr. Hilton and the children had gone, enjoyed the oc casion and returned, finding ber still well. But before the shades of the! evening fell upon the earth the good wife and mother was stricken and in j midst ot' the night the precious life departed. How strikingly troe was the inspiration of Wilder when he wrote these lines : "My life is like the summer rose That opens to the morning sky, And ere the shades of eveningclof e Is scattered on the ground to die." M. . xitlton was a daughter of Ar W. Adams, deceased, a well known lawyer of Edgelield years ago. and a neice of Dr. P. i?. Adams, of Phoenix, and Mrs. E. A. Hackett of this city. A husband and niue children are in mourning to day over the loss of a wife and mother whose presence will come to them no more only in fond and tearful recol lections of her inestimable worth In the h( ur of such sorrow there is refuge and comfort alone ia rhe great Fa. her, whose linger points to the Paradise ol' the immortals where loved ones .shall one day meet again nmid rhe gladness of the eternal ages.-Greenwood In dex.

He will be tbeir comrade aud they will always act well because it will please him for them to do so.-Abbeville Mediumf The Editor of The Saluda Senti ucl Takes a Jaunt. [Published by Requeit.J Sunday morDing with Mr Walter Gillion as pilot we bead ed for Wards. After a rather warm drive of two hours through a magnificent section of our coun try we arrived at the pretty little town of Wards on the Southern Railroad. We drove at once to the pleasant home of Capt. Clinton Ward, whose doors are always open to strangers as well as to intimate friends and acquaintances with that hopitality born of a typical South Carolina gentry. Refreshing ourselves with cool water, and still having a few moments to spare before church time, we took a stroll into his superbly arranged and well kept gardens and vineyards. The flower garden bespoke taste and refinement; the vegetable, thrift and energy; the vineyard, ease and luxury. In the latter there are one hundred varieties from the sour fox and wild bull to the delicate flavored malaga, luscious coucord aod the old standby scuppernong. Services bad commenced when we got to the church. We found about as many people outside the shade of the spreading oaks as there were in the church. At the same time the church was full, so that we had to take a seat on Btep of rostrum or stand. We preferred the steps. Rev. Reamy of John ston preached an excellent mis sionary sermon from the story of Jonah. After the devotional services, everybody was invited to a splen did dinner sumad under those shady oaks. The representative of The Sentinal was looked after by the ladies and right royally did he fare. In the aftenoon the last subject on the program, "Which is the better method of teaching the Sunday Scnool lesson,' askiog question or .lettiog the sc?olars?" It. was noted that the query was worded wrong and it should have been ''lecturing" instead of "letting." However this little error only added to tbe interest of the debate and tho speakers all agreed that moio interest could be created in a recitation by giving the children an opportunity to , ask questions. Mr. S. J. Watson opened with a neat little speech laden with good practical suggestions for successful teaching. Capt. Joe Edwards introduced Mr. H. S. Cunning-, ham of Saluda, who made a few remarks on ?he practical side. Kev. Reamy, Mr. M. W. Peurifoy and the Moderator. Mr. P. N. Lott, made short, but interesting talks. After a little more routine business and resolutions of thanks to these good people for taking care of them so well during the convention adjoured. being one of the best and largest ever hold in the Union. After a sojourn of a couple of hours with the genial captain and his estimable wife, who, by the way, might bo called the motb.jr of this church, we ordered our horse. While waiting, we were shown many ancient and valuable relic of the family. We have often heard the expres sion. "Take a horn with me." We saw a genuine horn cup that was in use by the elder Wards ono hundred years ago before the uso of glass tumblers. One of the few busts nov; in existence of Calhoun, books of 1670, a news paper about ?he size of a single sheet of fools cap published in those days on hemp paper, a wax taper that once burned in the bod chamber of Queen Victoria, which was given to Captain Ward's ancpstor, who was a warm friend of the Queen, and many otbor relics that our space won't permit us to mention this time.-Saluda Sentinel.

Tho Solace, our hospital ship, was a fine steamer of the Morgau Line, fitted up with 500 spring beds, and several hundred ham mocks, medical and surgical stores, delicate food especially prepared for the 6ick and wounded,, with a iot of surgeons and nurses aboard. It accompanies the war ships as an angel of mercy. Tho other ships go out kill and destroy; she to receive the maimed aud dying. The Solace is painted white and green, the most conspicuous colors, and stands high out of the water, RO that she can be seen at a long long distance, while at her mast heads float the flag of the Red Cross, which will protect her from all civilized enemies. This is a new idea in warfare. In the midst of a battle she will stand by out of danger, but within signaling distance, and when the fighting is over, the othei ships will deliver to ber the wounded to be cared for'and the d<;ad to be prepared for burial. If a ship of the enemy is captured or sum*, she will offer her merciful hospitality to it offi cers and crew. The Augusta Herald beaides printing a telegraphic service from The Associated Press, the biggest news-gathering concern in the world, has ou a special and exclusive service direct from The New York Journal's office. The Herald's war news is costing a pile of money, but the people appreciate the best, and the enterprise and energy of The Herald are rapidly pushing that paper to the front. hr**"' H r . -* f yoillyo Every mother feels an inde scribable dread of the pain and danger attend ant upon thc most critical pe riod cf her life.
