UNEASY lie the heads that wear the crowns throughout Europe, since the brutal murder on last Thurs day of the king and queen of I Servia. GREENVILLE County alone lost $20,000 in bridges as a result of the Pied mont flood. If Greenville lost this sum what would be Edgefield's loss should such a rain fall up her hundreds of | creeks, rivulets and rills? THE merciless floods swept away not only the superstructure but the foun dation stones of some of the Pacolet and Clifton mills, but could not shake the confl uence of the stockholders in Presidents Montgomery and Twitchell, who have been in structed to rebuild the mills with all possible dispatch. SPECULATION is rife as to what disposition will be made of the applica tion for a change of venue in the Tillman murder case. Few are they who believe that the defendant would not receive a fair and impartial trial be fore a Richland jury. A carte blanche acquittal may not be had but justice would be ad ministered. Justice does not always mean an acquittal. REPORTS from far-off! China state that the anti-foot-binding society i s liberating the distorted feet, of many benighted Chinese women. Would not an anti waist-binding society liberate the distorted persons of| American women ? Alas, we fear not. They are hope lessly fettered by the gyves of fashion. Of the, two evilsj the latter, we >w, is. ? JOHNSTON. Happenings of Interest from Our Neighboring Town, Seemingly apropos of Dothiog, there came "a pang of selfishness" in my last contribution. It should have followed the elegant tea serv ed by the "New Century club" to themselves-while the ??next para graph should have followed the al lusion to the "Deestrick Skulc. This latter entertainment took place Thursday eveumg a:?d was repeated Friday, being the most laughable play of the season. Ed itor Terrell was a success as the old-time pedagog. Miss Mamie Coleman, as "sister," and Mr.John Wright, a s "buddy," brought down the ^house. The latter's costume, knee pants, white stock ings, a loug checked hom?spun ap ron to keep his clothes clean, and a bran new pair of shoe?, was uni que in the oxtreme. The water drinking boy, the crying girl, the sorry girl, the giggling girl, in fact all the parts were well enacted, and laughter was the order of the ev ening. Mrs. James A. Richardson, Mrs. J. G. Strother and Master Stanton Lott, after a week's stay in Atlan ta and Augusta, are welcomed home. Miss Mamie Leland, of Charles ton, after a week's visit to rela tives here will spend some time in Ridge Spring before returning home. Quite a number of our town folks attended the marrriage of Miss Lena Smith to Mr. Wiley Ouzts, which took place at Harmony church on Wednesday last. The marriage of Miss Palm Reames to Mr. Charles Bailey took place at the residence of Mr. L. B. Asbill on Wednesday evening, the bride and.groom leaving-on the 2 o'clock morniDg train the next day for an extended trip north. Tho pretty cottage home wt sb ?ai? tifully decorated, the supper ele gant and the guests declare a pret tier wedding, a handsomer bride, a happier groom, or more enjoyable occasi m would be hard to find. Many good wish* s follow. Miss Arnold will leave Satur day for Allendale. A dining iu her honor was giveu at the home of Mr. P. N. Lott, and a tea fol lowed at the home of Mr. W, J. Hatcher. On Friday afternoon at the large and beautiful home of Mr. C. F. Strother the Daughters of tho Con federacy gave a mo6t elegant re ception in honor ofMiss A. S. Ar uold, a former vice-president, and the New Century club. |Delightful I refreshments were served, while the decorations were exquisitely lovely. The colors of the organi zation prevailed, being white an( red. Every one had a nice time, aud the unanimous decision was that it waB a most delightful oc casion. Parlor games for prizes bav< been declared by Williamston Co. Ell., grand jury to be gambling] within the law, aud citizens urged to prosecute if they arcoon ti nued. More, than $100 has been raised by our citizens, and a box of cloth ing is being collected for the flood stricken sufferers. CLARK'S HILL r . ADVERTISER : T h ter continues warm, with Ey of raiu.

According (o appointment the county executive committee met in the court house on Saturday morning last for tho purpose of selecting a man to be recommend ed to thu governor for appointment to the supervisorship of Edgefield couuty. Chairman Thomas. H. Rainsford, Secretary N. G. Evans, and a representative from each of the 21 clubs were in attendance. A goodly number of citizens al so gathered lo witness the doings of the committee. After the com mittee was df. dared ready for bus iness the secretary read applica tions from the following gentle men : R. A. Cochran, J, M. Mays, H. S. Quarles, D. P. Self, Sum Cheatham, J. R. Strother, VV. E. Sheppard, J. M. Bell, Jr., R. H Parksand J. A. Hamilton. Mr W. E. Sheppard, who was a mern ber of the committee aud an ap- ?[Mess yon. plicant requested that Mr. W. B. Quarles be allowed to 6erve iii hi? stead on the committee, which was granted. Capt. John R. Blocker, in well chosen language,p&iuted out where in the committee had erred in withholding the selection of a supervisor from the people, stat ing that the action of the commit tee in arrogating this right to it self was without precedent and contrary to the principles of the Democratic party. In concluding this strong plea for government by the people iustoiul of by com mittees, Capt. Blocker ol?tred a resolution to the effect that the former action of Ihe committee, piovidiug lor an election by the committee, be rescinded a?d that a primary election be ordered to be held on Tuesday, 23rd instant. This was carried and the primary was ordered. An effort was then made to refer the matter of choos ing a supervisor to the delegation, but this motion was lost. The members of the committee then handed in the names of the managers for their respective c'ubs, a complete list of which we pub lish elsewhere. The candidates will not bo assessed as heretofore. Each will pay for his tickets in stead of the committee. It was very gratifying to all present that, while there was a dif ference of opinion aa to the wis dom of holding a primary, tl ere was not a ripple of discord to mar the harmony of the meeting. All's well that ends well, and this is well for it ended in a people's ric tory-Democratic victory. Feels Very Thankful.
