NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that our banks have, according to the recent ly published statements, com bined deposits of over $225, 000-nearly a quarter of a million-there is not a wheel being turned in Edgefield by Edgefield capital. With the above sum as a nucleus or bonus, .industrial enterprises involving the investment of million dollars could be es ablished. We confidently believe that this could be ac complished if our business men would be up and doing, laboring with one accord to that end. As there is no po litical campaign this ) ear let us inaugurate a campaign for the material upbuilding ot our town and county. What ben efits one must of necessity benefit the other. THE following from The State shows that Edge field is not alone in the belief that it pays to invest money in school property : "The disposition of South Caro lina towns to vote upou themselves jtpecial taxes .'or school purposes is a healthy indication. Ander fiou has by a vote of 147 to 40 vo ted to issue $15,000 worth of bonds for a school building. Hamberg by a vote of 109 to 28 has decided to rarBe in the same way $10,000 for a new schooljbuldingaud the trus tees of the Greenville schools have started a proposition of 1 he same sort in the Mountain City. This is the spirit which means educa tion." Be it said to the credit of Edgefield that her school bonds were carried by a un animous vote and pur people are growing restless on ac count of the suspense, and delay in erecting the building, that has been caused by the tardiness of the Supreme court in filing an opinion in the bond case , that was argued three ionths ago. Every citizen 'wants to see work begin, which cannot be done till the opinion is render ed. JOHNSTON. Happenings of Interest from Our Neighboring Town, Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Madge Wallace Graydon to Mr. Frank Howlette Fetzer on the 29th instant at Abbe ville. Miss Madge ?B the oldest child of Miss Lalla Tompkins and is a most intelligent and lovable young lady and has many friends in Edgefield who wish her happi ness unalloyed. The Old Folks concert under the auspicies of the Daughters of the Confederacy, was repeated to a large audience on Friday night. Tho improved condition of the loads rendered it possible for many country visitors to witness this unique and laughter provoking play. Mrs. Zelime Stevens and Miss Lena Stevens, Mrs. Fancie Jeffer son and Mrs. Eva Lewis represent ed Meeting Street at the concert. ^Apropos of roads, we thank Mr. Padgett for the improved conditi on of the mud hole alluded to last week. .Notice of Executors' Sale.

Within taD days Ino mill expects to close its sea ion's work, which han been satis factory to the stockholders so far. Other machinery wili be added and its capacity increased before an other season. The base ball "craze" has begun, and seems wilder than ever. Last year we noticed the death of a young man caused by a ball strik ing a kuife in his hand and caus ing it to pierce his heart, as he stood pealing an apple. A day or two since we uoticed another death of a boy from bfing struck by a ball. '?Ve often see broken fingers and teeth knocked out, and hear of profanity and even fights at these gamos. Kow, if there is any thing good, elevatiug or even instruc tive in this game we havo failed to see it and ask to be enlightened.
