Mrs. Elizabeth Russell is still ill with fever we regret to say, but with the unremitting*care and attention of her devoted son and daughter it is Hoped tnU aged a?d est?em?<i lady will soon be up again. Mr. Bppas Norris, of our northern suburbs, ordered potato slips from Florida in February last,and in March set out two acres. As a consequence friend Eppes will be eating new pota toes next Sunday. The Beauregard Timmons mansion is beginning to look very much like a bouse, and it will be a very handsome and commodious one. The archi ects, Messrs. Timmons & Wright, certainly know what they are doing. The "old Held school" of the past is being derided and ridiculed by the apostles of new methods in teaching the young idea how to shoot. We call on our friends Russ Bodie, Milton Bell, and Hodge Stallwortb to man the breach for the sake of lang syne. The Charleston News and Courier of the 8th inst, paid a very high com pliment to Solicitor Thurmond for his couduct of and speech in the Crawford case recently heard at Camden. Wt regret that we cannot lay our hands on the copy named that we might re_ produce it in these columns. The case of Calliham against Wood, which came up before Judge Bell, was compromised by each party paying $1.45. Whereupon Judge Bell "squash ed" the indictment. This was the peaceful outcome of the matter in which pistols were drawn and much bad temper shown. We are under obligations to Mr. G. H. Bunch, son of John W. Bunch, of Columbia, foran invitation to the com mencement exercises of the South Carolina College. June 19th inst Among the graduates from Edgefield are John Eldred Swearingen, the blind son of Mrs. J. C. Swearingen, and George Henry Bunch aforesaid. Mr. Harry Hill, who has given the matter some consideration, is opposed to the adoption of the round hale by Southern ginners. He thinks that, in asmuch as the round bale people refuse to sell their machinery, but only lease it temporarily, that in a few years they will have a monopoly, the square bale machinery being out of the way, and will tfrind the cotton grower more than he is ground at present. A sensible husband said to his wife the other day, "Ji?ue, don't spend a cent with merchants who don't adver tise." The wife who is a business wo man, replied : "You old goose, I learn ed better long ago than to go where I was not invited. You would be an old bachelor now if you had not invited me to be your wife. Catch me going to a store without an invitation. I guess not." .For three days last week the ther mometer is baid to have reached the unprecedented figure of 102 in our town. "We do not remember ever to have seen the regirter so high. In the city of Columbia it went to 103, and Saturday Jlast in Greenwood 105, but the delightful rains of Sunday p. m. relieve us of any apprehension that the mercury will ba called upon to do anymore such exploiting, for a while at lea?t. "We understand thal the county com missioners at their last meeting levied an extra tax of one-fourth of a mill on the taxable property of Edgefield county with which to buy a road ma chine and to work tho roads. We also understand that County Attorney X. G. Evans advised against this extra tax, but they downed him it seems. During the absence of Dr. J. Glover Tompkins in Philadelphia, which will bc tor several weeks, Dr Marsh will be assisted in the Tompkins-Marsb practice by that old wheel horse, Dr. J. Walter Hill. Dr. Tompkins goes to Philadelphia to attend clinics in a pri vate hospital, in that city, to get on to the latest and best methods of the treatment of diseases at the head and centre of medical knowledge and skill on this continent. Miss Sadie Furman,a matriculate of Hollins Institute, Va*., is spending her vacation with her aunt, Mrs. Charlotte Guerard. Miss Furman is the daugh ter of Judge John C. Furman, of Texas, late of Edgefield, and is a most beau tiful young lady of the brunette type, and is moreover a charming and viva cious conversationalist. Edgefield ex tends to hera hearty welcome, and it is to bs hoped that she maybe per suaded to make this her permanent home. On Monday morning of this week Mr. Sam Gardner, of the Petri sect ion, set out three acres in sweet potatoes* Of course this was not his first setting out. He had three or four acres al ready planted before the rain. And Icicle Dan McClendon, of the same section with Mr. Gardner, set out four acres in sweet potatoes, but then "Uncle Dan" is a sweet potato farmer. He bedded ten bushels in the early spring and set cut a couple of acres from the first drawing. And if it don't rain he doesn't wait, but sets out and waters. "Uncle Dan" is an all round sure good farmer. Cards are out announcing the mar riage of Miss Mamie E., the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Chat ham to Mr. Janies G. Hilton. The marriage will take place next Wednes day, June the ]4th, at toe residence of the bride's parents. Miss Mamie is an accomplishrd young lady and is very attractive socially and in every way. She is a conscientious Christian young lady worthy of the love and esteem ol' any mau. The Journal extends con gratulations to the bride and groom and wishes for them long life and great happiness. May their honey moon never have an end.-Greenwood Journal. Edgefield makes a notable record this year in the various colleges of the State, for instauce : Mr. John Eldred Swearingen graduates at the Sout.li Carolina College with first honors, re ceiving the highest marks ever given at that institution. Miss Kate Goode Carter and Miss Sallie Dantzler grad uate at Winthrop with the degree of A. . B. Miss Effie Sheppard at Green ville Female College with degree of B. E. Miss Lizzie Teague, grand daughter of Dr. H. Parker, graduates at Converse College. To say nothing ol one of our S. C. C. I. graduate! who won th? West Point cadetship in the competitive examination at Blackville a few weeks ago. And there are oth ers no doubt whose names we have not seen. The good natured controversy between Rev. R. W. Audersju, of our town, and the editor of The State as to whether "'nigger" should be spelled with one "g" or two, re minds us of something Beast But ler said on one occasion before he died. Of course he said it before bodied, if he said it at all. for he has not been heard from since. What he said was this : "That if you wai t to move in the best so ciety in the South you must spell nigger with two 'g's'." Of course this was a slander on the South, for we invariably spell the word with one *'g" in writing, but ia or dinary conversation it takes two "g's" to do UP.

Accident to Rev. J. C. Abney. Rev. J. C. Abney was one of the party who started from here yes terday at noon to attend Governor Ellerbe's funeral at Sellers, huton account of a bad accident he was preveuted from going. While the special was flying past Congaree station at the rate of 40 miles an hour Mr. Abney, who was sitting next to au open window ou the right side of the car, was stiuck on the arm by , some object which fractured the radius, the exterior bone of the forearm. The acci dent was rather mysterious. Mr. Abney was rPdting his right arm on the wiudow sill when something struck it with such force as to break the bone. It is thought that a stick of wood fell from the tender, struck a box car on a side-track and rebounding, bit; Mr. Abney. The marks of the lick were plaio?y visible on the window sill, and it wu8 evident that the blow inucd have been accompanied by consid erable force, so that one supposi tion is that the object was thrown at the train, but tb.it. seems im probable.-'The State. June 9. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : "I was in a most dread ful condition. My 6kin was almost yellow eyes sunken .>ugue, coated, pain continually in ? ack and sides, no appetite-gradually growing weaker day by day. three phy sicians had given me up. For tunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters:' and to my great joy and sur-prise, the first bottle made a aecid ed improvement.

To the People of South Carolina: In the. providence of Almighty God, his Excellency, Wm. H. Ellerbe, late Governor of South Carolina, has passed to his reward. I regret the sad eveut. which makes it necessary for me to assume the duties of Governor of South Carolina. The constitution, how ever, is mandator}\ 1 have taken ?the oath ol' office and assumed formal control of tho executive de partment to-day. I have thought it proper to.addr^ss a word to the people of the Slate. I realize fully the responsibility of the postion. I shall endeavor to be faithful and conscientious in the discbarge of duties which ! shall be mine. ID the wisdom which devised i our system of government three distinct departments were made -the legislative, the executive, the judicial-to make the laws, to execute the laws, to interpret the laws. Under our own con stitution they are to "be forever separate and distinct from each other," and no person exerising the duties of tbe one shall assume to discharge the duties o?: tho other. It is a wise provision. My duty mainly is to see that the laws aB placed on the statute books by the legislative department are en forced. This I shall attempt todo faithfully and impartially, and without fear or favor, following only where duty points. lu doing so, however, I ask and shall expect the hearty cooperation of every officer in South Carolina, whether he holds a State office, a county office, or an office under a municipality. Not only so, but I ask the hearty support and encour agement of every citizen of South Carolina in the enforcement of law, in the promotion and advan cement and progress of our own commonwealth. I realize the impotency of of any officer, however faithful" he may be, who does not have this support. We are on the eve of a gi eat industrial advance-in manufac ture, education, commerce, and agriculture-and I stand ready to contribute; my part as citizen and officer lo this forward industrial movement, and to do anything in my power for the welfare of my people- I have no political punishments to inflict and no polifical rewards to pay. It shall be my aim and steadfast purroso to give the people of the State a strictly business administration, and to be the Governor of all tho people. To this end I seek their sympathy, their counsel, and their prayers, praying myself that peace and happiness and prosperity may como to every home in South Carolina. Yours respectfully, M. B. McSweeney, Gov. of South Carolina. Weather for May. Weather Observer C. A. Long, of Trenton, ends us the following data of the weather for the month just ended : Max. Temp. 95; date 17th. Min.

C., upon which he will erect a residence which will be second in the South only to George W. Vanderbilt's palace, Biltmore, near Asheville, N. C. The residence will be sit uated in the midst of a park ter raced on four sidos throughout seventy-five t:cies of land; There will be thirty-seven rooms, above the average _si/.e, fronting * hall way twenty-two feet wide and sixty-one feat long. The drp.wing room will be a dream of luxury and spaciousness. It will be nine teen by. thirty-seven feet, and ad joining a dining room nineteen by t'venty-four feet and a consHrvra toiy eighteen by thirty-two feet. From Judge Beckwith's hospitable board may be viewed this conserva tory filled with the choice plants ol'the world and lighted by elec tricity from an. independent plant, which will supply lights Lot only for the park, but for 200 or more acre6 devoted to stables and amuse ment grounds, a race course and polo games. A road to Aiken will be graded 300 feet wide and fin ished with white sand aud gravel, "Ocher Die Sterne Ist Ruh."., Tis a weary world, dear boort, I know, There's many a cause for a sigh, Buh, surcease comes for the work and woe In the beautiful bye and bye; And the tired heart and the fevered brain Will find from the stern behest Relief from all the rack and pain, For "over the stars is rest." For the trial here is a triumph there, For a pain is a palm on high, And a laurel wreath f jr a thorn of care, Awaits in the bye and bye; And a jeweled crown for the cruel cross Is kept for ihe faitnful blest, A crown of gold-no earthly dross And "over the stars is rest." So the labo^of love is never vain, Or the.weariness or the sigh, And the purple blood from the heart of pain Is the pledge of the bye and bye ; Tnen work away,;; dear heart, and know If ever we do our best, For all of the wealth of work and woe That "over the stars is rest." -Atlanta Journal.
