Edgefield Advertiser jg WEDNESDAY, AUG. 17. L0GA?2 BREVITIES. . Shorter days make it .necessary to hustle more. Dr. L. R. Gwaltney is conducting a protracted meeting at Bethany church this week. The lease of the Cumberland Gap by the Southern is for 37 yeors, virtually a purchase.. Gen. M. C. Butler has shipped two colts from his Savannah river place to Camp Alger, Va. Mr. David I. Denny, late of Green . wood, will probably soon go into busi ness in our town. . Kev. P. P. Blaloek will begin a pro tracted meeting at Berea on the 4th Sunday in this month. Jule Holstein has sold a lot to the factory people, upon which they pro pose to build houses for the.operatives. Mr. Lewis Jones, of Atlanta, a bright and handsome old time Edgefield boy, is visiting friends and relatives in our town. Mr. Jas. G. Penn, well known in Edg-'fleld, is a candidate for the House of Representatives from Greenwood county. Trof. Bailey is visiting various sec tions of our county in the interest of the Institute. Prof. Bailey isa won derful man. Dr. W. B. Penn has sold his last year's crop of cottcn to the Edgefield Cotton Mills, about 30 bales. He didn't get 9 cents for it. The Edgefield Democratic club will meet in the court house on "Wednesday, Aug. 24th, at 5 P. M., for the purpose of revising the club roll. Misses Mona and Mattie Johnston request the person who received Chance * No. 1 on quilt sold for the orphanage to please come and get the prize. Cotton is just beginning to open a little in these regions. In the sand it is* opening rapidly and picking has commenced. Foster Cheatham will have out a bale this week.

Willie Woodson has been offered 30 cents a day to work in the cotton fac tory. Willie says his duty will be to sit in a "cheer" and look at the looms all day long, and he says he is a "boss hand at setting down.7' While the peach crop was fine we do not remember ever to have seen a worse apple crop than this year of grace 1893. Well, we can't have all the good things at one time. If we . did we would "bust" ? Four of the factory machinists are boarding temporarily with Mr. Jas. E. Hart. The first thing we know we'll be on a regular business boom. The factory will help greatly, but the Co Educational Institute much more. The big fog horn whistle at the Cot ton Factory blew for the first time on Tuesday afternoon of this week, and all our people wept with joy and emo tion too deep for utterance. And Fisher said, many moons ago, "the factory will start after the whistle blows." When you go to Columbia let yoqr stopping place be the boarding house of Mru. A. I. Tompkins, 121S Senate street, rear of State House. You will find it a most home like hostelry, con ducted by Edgefield people'of the old regime. The South Carolina and Georgia railroad is already running Jim Crow cars, givng white and colored {sepa rate cars, but .equal accommodation?. Banjo pickers ride in the Fim Crow car always. The other roads will follow suit on or by Sept. 1st. Chris Stalnaker's Edgefield county friends will be delighted to hear that he has been elected cotton weigher at Greenwood. This office pays some thing like $1,600 a year. Now if Green wood will elect Lewis Moore auditor she will have done another wise thing. A telegram received in this city yes terday announced the death, ??from ty phoid fever, at Chicbamauga, of Elbert DeVore, son of J. K. DeVore, formerly of Kirhsey but now residing at McRae, Ga. The deceased had many friends and relatives in this county, all of whom join in sorrow with the bereaved parents.-Greenwood Journal. At the Teachers Institute, recently held in our town, one of the problems discussed was, which is right "twice one is two, or twice one are two." All the teachers present, with hut one ex ception, we believe, held that twice one ARK two "ARK" right. We 6hould like to have some of our teachers dis cuss this matter in?extenso. Will Bro. J. P. Bean lead off? It is a great wonder that :n this day of extraordinary hungry office seeking that some one has not .ventured to tackle W. J. Talbert for Congress in his district, but then he is so popular, and bas given such general satisfac tion in and out of Congress that they, perhaps, see it would be a waste of time and expense.-Lexington Dis patch..' We have been? requested to name those who will be elected to the legis lature from Edgefield county this year. We can't do it; in fact it is the hardest problem in this line we ever had to solve. And it is not at all unlikely that there will be three primary eler, . tions to determine who shall represent us in the House of Reprobate-ab, we beg pardon, in the House of Repre sentatives. .

Come out and hear the campaigners. i Semember that in 'this county no ticket will be counted for the House of Representatives unless there are three names on it.

Ellerbe has appointed W. W. Fuller, of Edgefield, quarter-master sergeant' of the 2nd regiment. Mr. Fuller is a graduate of Patrick Mili tary institute, where he took a high position, graduating with the rank of captain. The gallant second is to be congratulated.

The attention of our readers, espe cially parents, is directed to the adver tisement of this excellent institntion. Planted at Williston where it grew and prospered for several years, it is now moved to Edgefield, which place j is within easy reach of our readers? Prof. F. N. K. Bailey, whose reputa- j tion as an educator of the first rank has been fully established bj years of 1 successful work, is at the head and he j is assisted by an able corps of expe rienced teachers,among whom we may mention Rev. L. R. Gwaltney, D. D., whose piety and scholarship has never I been questioned. The South Carolina Co-Educational Institute ought to prosper greatly, and we believe will We bespeaJk for it a liberal patronage, assured that those who go out from its walls will be better prepared in mind and .heart for the battles of life.

The Missouri Agricultural College experiment station has been conducting experiments in peach tree culture that will be worth millions of dollars to orchard growers in the growth of peach trees. Thirty had their boughs, trunks and limbs painted white with a spray of ordinary whitewash. "These whitened trees," said Prof. H. J. W?rters, director of the Btatfon, "will be sure to bear fruit next year, while the other trees io the orchard may not. It is a simple experiment that has taught a valuable lesson. The win ter killing of peach buds is the results of frezing after the buds have been made to swell by the warm weather during the winter or spring. The warra sunshine will make the buds swell prematurely while the root of the tree may be frozen or dormant. Shading and whitening the trees prevent their aborbing the heaton Bummer days aud the forcing of the buds,* as a protective measure. Shading the trees is too expensive Whitening them is cheaper. The natural color of the tree attracts and absorbs the heat of the sun as black earth absarbs it. The white coating on the peach trees repels the sun's rays. "Last year 80 per cent, of the whitened buds passed tho winter safely, while 80 per cent of those that were not whitened were killed. To show the effect of white as a repellant of the sun's rays, a thefmometer covered with purple cloth and one covered with white oloth were exposed to the sun. The one in purple registered from 10 t > 20 degrees more heat than the one in white." Prof. Waters thinks that this experiment is a simple and inex pensive means of protecting peach trees and insuring a reasonable THE FOUNTAIN CITY. An Old Friend Returns to Our ' Columns and Gladdens the Hearts ol' Many Readers. Augusta lies under the heat of summer. The wealthy and influ ential have migrated, like birds of gay plumage, to sea shore and mountain; Warsaw, ou the Caro lina coast, Tybee beach, Sullivan's Island, Hot Springs, Tenn. Those who stay at home, and even some of the society people remained at their homes on Green and lowbr Broad, drink the muddy-red wa ter from pipes flowing from the Savannah near by and cooled with ice.

The blue shadows are set tling down on the water, factory and warehouse outlined, which your mind, converts into a castle or something very fine. THE NATATORIO!. You reach the "North-Augusta bathing pond," built up and run by the North-Augusta Co. A long line of bathing houses, painted green and red, with -"for ladies'' in one compartment and "for gents" in the other. A deep clear pond railed in and banks of trees and under-brush of sweet-bay which perfumes the air. Ten cents apiece to look on, to swim, for your bath ing suit, ci- for a glass of soda, or a "Carson City punch." The men are attired in dark blue, striped, with white pants barely reaching the knees, bare legs and feet, bare arms and neck to the shoulders. They look quite*saucy and bad, and standing on the long piazza of the bathing sheds hold their hands clasped high above their heads, after the manner of divers, they make the plunge and disappear m the cool dark water. They come up, and such tricks, they swim as gracefully as born fish. Kicking those bare legs and feet in each others faces, fighting with water, and cf course swimming to the other side of the long pole, or support, stretched across, to join the pretty young girls in baggy trousers and short-sleeved, low necked bodies, and bare .vhite feet. They laugh and fight with water while harp, violin, and. flute are rippling from the long veranda oe^Jbj^JTheL^lei?tricxomes on a . stones throw of the bank, dumps down girls and boys and returns for another party. .

"It was t|je opinion of Marcian," says Mr. Gibbon, "that war should be avoided as long as it is possible to preserve a secure and honorable peace," and again it was likewise his opinion that "peace cannot be honorable or secure if the sovereign betrays a pusillanimous aversion to var." Seemingly in this peace negotia tion there is too much volition on Uncle Sam's part, he beind the recognized "sovereignty" in the matter.
