Court of General Sessions convened at Lexington on Monday with Hon. F.B.Gary, of Abbeville, as presiding judge. The Tillman case was called and Monday next "set for the beginning of the trial which will probably con sume ten days. Show us a town that is not concerned about the educa tion of the present and un born generations and we will show you a town that is in habited by do-nothing, good for-nothin? people ; a town in which stagnation prevails in stead of life and activity. -:)000(: Recently a London paper offered a prize for the best ^definition of "money." The / prize was awarded the sender /f of the following true defini tion: "An article which may be used as an universal passport to everywhere ex cept heaven, andas an univer sal provider of everything ex cept happiness.'" We salute the Baptist churches of Johnston and Ridge Spring. At the recent Ridge association these two churches voluntarily agreed tO^QJXtrlhiit?^e-fclic support ? oTafbreign missionary to the amount of $500. This should be an incentive to the churches and individuals who are liot doing their full duty. The one night corn and bun ion cures will now be placed upon the bargain counter at half price, Dame Fashion having decreed that small feet are no longer fashiona ble. A pretty, sweet sixteen teener can now walk up to a counter a/id ask for a num ber six with a bland smile ?/?opon her face instead of a &}>lush and a furtive look at the ; . clerk. When a man and woman are willing and anxious that their souls shall have a single thought and their hearts beat as one the "world, flesh and the devil," not to mention parents, can't keep them from getting married. Even dis tance avails nothing. A few days ago a couple were mar ried over a long distance tele phone, the bride being in ' Philadelphia and the groom in New York. Who said that a school would not help a town? Since it has been definitely known that the college will be ^permanently located in Edgefield more property has changed hands at fair prices , than during the preceding five years. And the half has not yet been told. We have on ly seen the beginning of what the college will do for our town, _ The Augusta Chronicle has with one fell swoop made a high dive into the half a hun dred low dives of Augusta that are veritable hot-beds of vice and crime. We com mend your manly stand, es teemed contemporary, and bid you God-speed, believing that you will winy for thrice armed is he whose, cause ls jtist If, however, reducing the n?jnber of barrooms from 91 to 40, by high license, will proportionately reduce crime, why not tax them all out of existence?. A large colony of French Canadians, who are a thrifty and sturdy people and will make excellent citizens, will soon settle near Summerville, S. C. Wouldn't it be a great thing for our old county could we attract such a class of people hither? Hundreds of families could settle throughout the length and breadth of our county and still we would have room for hundreds of others. ACCOMMODATING EYES AND EARS. Some people have eyes and see not, while others have ears aud hear not. Frequent ly individuals who are known to be eye witnesses to fist? cuffs and other personal en counters go straightway and swear that they know nothinp of the affair. But the case which caps the climax was one which occurred in Char leston a few days ago. A difficulty arose between two men in a room, during which four pistol shots were fired, and a third man who was in the room swore that he was asleep and did not hear any report of a pistol. Verily some men are liars or have accommodating ears. If this is a typical Charleston wit ness no wonder that the "ti gers" go Scott free. NATIONAL DEPOSITORIES. The South- day-by-day is becoming a more potent fact or in national and inter nation al affairs. In former years it has been the policyjof the Re publican administration to keep the government funds j in the national banks through out the north, only a few southern banks being select ed as government deposito ries. More southern banks are now being named as gov ernment depositories than ever before, among the latest be ing the National Loan and Exchange bank of Columbia. The south would never lack for funds to move the cotton crop if the government would place m ore of its idle mi liions with the southern banks. And why not? Equal rights should be ac corded to every section irres pective of geographical posi tion and special privileges to none. INEXPRESSIBLY SAD. I A picture sad enough to make the heart of Ja strong man sink_within him Dr?hg tears to the eyes of an gels, could be seen upon the streets Saturday last. A bright boy, not yet out, of his teens, who resides not* many miles from - Edgefield, was reeling and staggering maudlin drunk. Doing no one any harm, however, ex cept himself. It is sad to see a mar? of mature years en thralled by the demon, strong drink, but it is a thousand times sadder to see a tender youth fall victim of this evil. Who can blame the boy? While his mother isa refined, cultured, affectionate, Chris tian woman, his father has been a confirmed drunkard for years and the boy is only doing what he has so often seen his father do. God pity the mother ! God help the father ! God save the boy ! Reader, if you are the father of|a family and God has bless ed your home with a bright boy, is your daily walk and conversation such as you would have that of your boy to be? Are you helping the wife of your bosom to train your children or does your example counteract her ef forts to teach them aright? Think on these things. JOHNSTON. Mis6 Louella Norris has a posi tion as billiug clerk at the freight depot here. Mr F. T. Richardson came over from Augusta, and will go to Birmingham on Wednesday. Mr. Wiley Ouzts was over from Edgefirjld summonsing witness in the case against Mr. James Till man. Charming Miss Hortense Lan drum has returned frr.m a pro traced visit to Anderdon, to the delight of her many friends. Mr James A. Satcher of Wards who was reported quite ill last week died on Sunday last. Mr. Satcher was held in high esteem by the community, BC was evinced by tho large crowd of frieuds both white and colored, who fol lowed his remains to hie resting place. Deep sympathy is extend ed his wife and children. The Baptist .Association which convened at Dry Creek church, notwithstanding tho rain was a grand success, better work being sbownup, and more enthusiasm displayed. The reports were all good but the Woman's Missionen report showed a considerable in crease, toing $68S.0D, las! year it was $361.00. Thus was greeted with such eutbusiasm that on mo tion lue congregation roi>e and sung "Praise. God from whom all blessings flow," Johnston nj d Ridge Spring .ihuifhes have agre ed to support one mission rv to the amount of $.500. The ieporl on Temperance showed astounding sums of money spent for liquor and beer while Col. Robt. Watson in h is address stated som*1 plain and humi iiting facts that should cause our men to double their forc es in battle against intemperance. Our school opened Monday un der most encourcging auspices a large crowd of patrons being present. We have now two hun dred pupils. CLARK'S HILL School turill' open for the year u Monday, Sept. 16th. much to he small boy's sorrow.

Lee Scott,who wen'; to Clemson college from here, entered the Freshman class, which was a class higher than that usually entered by boys going from country schools. Wr.ilo writing on this lino we'd like to add a word to what, has al ready been so ably na id in regard to Col. F. N. K. Hailey's address at the association at Parksville. He said many terse, true things on "education", but bia plea for common schools in the rur.:l dis trict, with better teachers employ ed, at better salaries, sbouid be re peated all over the county where ftver there is a child to be taught.

They were amply repaid for llie long driAe over Ihe typical Edgefield county roads, which means thal Col. Bacon's address was a veri table lit"rary feast,-io thought and delivery, as in his inimitable phras eology. Had some of the others of mir town been as brave, or shall we say, as reckless, they too would have braved the roads in ord r to have heard Col. Bacon. Mr. Chas. B. Glover has been speuding the past week in Clark's Hill, with his many friends hero Miss Pawnee Tyler, who has been visiting Mis5es Butler, of this place, left for her home in Aiken, on Tuesday, accompanied by Miss Myra Butler. - M j-* Carri?
