The United Confederate Vete rans will meet in Nashville in Sep tember instead of June, as hereto fore. The exact date will be an nounced later. The "eky-scrapirg'* price of cot ton bas caused many farmers of the Pee Dee section to change their plans. Cotton will bo gpwn in stead of tobacco this year. Augusta never does anything b) halves. A detachment of pol ?ce mon raided a gambling den in that city on Satur lay night last and captured over thirty young white men. The passage of the bi-ennial ses sions measure by the legislature . will meet with the approval of a vast majority of the people who will vote for the constitutional amendment iu the next primary. 1 housands of dollars will be saved by having the legislature meet every two years instead of annual ly. J_ Yielding to au appeal from the prisoners family, the governcr ol Goorgiahas written Governor Ho ward, urging that a pardr^ he granted to Robert T. Jo.r'S who killed the Pressleys in Edgefield county in 1887, but, we all of hie . predecessors, Governor Heyward very wisely decTe(* to grant the pardon. _ The cojm^ee> of which Ho/ Tbos. % Rainsford is a memfner thai-ff as appointed by the yanera a-?embly to look into Une affair yof the state colleges^/has recom mended that the lara-feboufc-thirv acres), situated^gotrce of revenue money invested as s an endowment fund, a good recommendation ould be carried out. The introduction of so many im practicable and very foolish bills by some of the Solons can be ac counted for only by the fact that this ?B campaign year and each one must give an account of his . stewardship by telling the "dear people" what he did or tried to do. Some of the law makers seem to think that io order to win the "well done" of their constituency they must endeavor to pass a great number of laws, when, in point of fact, those who prevent their pas sage are rendering a greater ser vice. WHAT ABE THE MUNICIPAL . : LAWS OP EDGEFIELD ? The town counoil very properly passed an ordinance on January 26th which divides Edgefield into six wards. Notwithstanding the fact that this is the most impor tant measure that has emanaeed from the council chamber in soxe years, and one which deeply con cerns the entire community, we doubt if ten per cent of our citi zens know in which ward they re side, or can define its boundaries. Why this lack of information ? It is because the council, instead of publishing the ordinances in a local paper, as is done in most towns, post them in certain places where sundry advertisements, mortgage foreclosure notice?, etc., are posted, consequently but few people ever see or know anything about them. . If it be necesesry or desiiable to give publicity to these municipal laws, and certainly it is, then it becomes the duty of the council to employ the means that will reach the greatest number of peo ple. It is true that it will coal more to publish than to post these ordinances, but better results are obtained thereby. In other mat ters tho council expends money for whatever gives the best results. Why not in this ? Prior to some months ag} all ordinances yt ere published. Then, people knew what the laws were, but now a new ordinance may be passed and citizens violate it with out knowing that such an ordi nance existed. In view of the fact .that oar people have been taught to depend upon geueral and full publicity being given all or dinances, is it morally right fo^ >a88 a law aud aimply poat it ben fiue persuus who are ignoranl >f its passage, for violating it ? If the town authorities prefei not to patronize the news^apen (both of which are continually speuding a ? 1 being spent for th? upbuilding of Edgefiold) for offi cial advertising, theu they shouk give publicity to all ordinances b; having them printed on leafle't and circulated at the time of thei passage. Of the two means, th former, that of publishing the 01 dinances in one of the local papen is preferable. Then those wh? come in from tbe country woul* be informed as to the lawa of ou town. In view of all of the facts is it right to punish those wh como to our town and violate ou laws without giving\them ampi opportunity of knowing what the are? What we plead for, in behalf o I the great majority of our people I is that general pablicity be givei all municipal laws. As at presen managed, who can tell what th ordinances of our town are? T keep posted on thim would baffl even the proverbial Philadelphi; lawyer. Gentlemen of the town counci of Edgefield, it is your duty t have the municipal laws publishe< in one of the local papers or havi them printed on leaflets (nott* mention the need of their bein bound in pamphlet form) and eil culated. With nothing short o tbis will the people be satisfied. JOHNSTON. JOHNSTON, S. CV, ) Feb. 2,2904*.

IN MEMORIAM. Concordia JLotlge No. 50. A. F. M EDGEFIELD, S. C., Jan. 29th 1904. Within four short months, during the past y-?ar, three of the oldest mem bers of this Lodge, were called from their labors in life's quarry to enjoy the rewards promised to all faithful craftsmen. On the 17th day of September 1903, Brother James A. Bennett was called ; on the 4th day of November 1933, Brother Henry B. Gallman answered to the last roi I call, and on the 14th day of December 1903 Brother P. Roper Durisoe surrendered to our last great enemy. For more than fifty 'years ttese brethren were faithful laborers in the Masonic Quarry, Formoie than fifty years our broth ers were delighted to meet their brelhren -upon the Level, act with them by the Plumb, and part with them upon the Square. For more than fifty years the faith ful hearts of our departed brothers beat responsive to every commenda ble effect to advance the interest of our grand old institution. For more than fifty years our de parted brothers rejoiced ta uphold the good name of Masonry, and to pre serve the fraternal chain that binds us together. From the nerveless grasp of our brothers has dropped forever the trowel, with which they so delighted to spread thecement of brotherly love and affection. They stood firm in the perfect image of Masonic manhood, and wielded ttie implements of moral combat far its ad vancement. But the finger of God touched them, and they sleep. We indulge the hope that they have exchanged che trials and tumults of time, <"or the peace and happiness of eternity, and that they have received from the Great Architect of the Uni-, verse the full measure of reward for faithful service. Brothers"Gallm?in and Durisoe had been m the past elevated by their brethren to the Orbntal Chair of the old Lodge, and in this position they rejected honor upon themselves and credit upon their brethren ; they were all without exception, ever prompt and faithful in the discharge of their duties, and (heir vacant chairs (?asts a gloom of sadness over their brethren Our sine-rest fraternal sympathies go out to the bereaved families of our deceased brethren, and we humbly pray God to comfort arid sustain them in their distress. We recommend, as a further token of our respect and sorrow for our de ceased brethren, that our Lodge room be draped in mourning for the St.are of thirty days. Further, that a page cf our record book be inscribed to the memory of each of our departed brothers. Further, that this tribute be publish ed in the Edgefield papers and that a copy be sent to the families ol* our de parted brothers. Fraternally submitted, ?. SHEPPARD, J W W. ADAMS, ^Committee. J.
