Barnwell will at an early day ask for an extra term. Other counties are likely to follow, Senator B. E. Tillman has been invited to address the Cotton Growers' Association of Greenville on July the 4th, and the public is OQ tip-toe, oxpecting him to make some statement aneut the dispen sary situation in the state. If the members of the Presby terian, Methodist and Baptist churches in Edgefiold county will do their full duty as professing Christians, in les* than sixty dayB the dispensary will be closed and not a drop of liquor will be sold within the borders of the county. Who dares deny the truth of this statement ? We trust that the mass meeting to be held in the court house on Monday next will be a large and representative one, all classes and all sections being represented. In tbe multitude of counsellors there is wisdom as well as safety. If a campaign against the pale of liquor is to be inaugurated it must be a well planned, systematic one. Citizens of Edgefield county, if you believe that the sale of in ''tox^a^-?^vLiTior8 in this county is inimical to tfi>.^nuterest8 of society (breathes ther?s^nan who does not believe this ?) it is your bounden duty to atte?d the mass meeting that has been called. Should you not utter a word be fore the body your presence will add tone, dignity, power to its de liberations. .. ..The^?tor of the ADVERTISER : has: recei^j?^ letter ^rom '^?|??|? H. Mell, president .*of Cie&tcni coll?ge/ stating that a Farmers' Institute will baheld at Edgefield. As soon as the schedule^|^da.tes has be^T^franged we will an nounceitiiB day oniwhich. the lu fifcitute will be held here. We want the farmers to begin talking it up even now, and let's make this a red letter occasion for the agricultural interests of the coun ty. =^=^^ The Anderson attorneys have adopted a rule requiring all mem bers of the bar to rise when thi presiding judge enters the court room. Whatever will restore the wonted diguity to the courts should not be left undone by the members of the legal profession* and it cannot^ be gain^.ayed that ihi? simple-^courteous act, which is an eafijeesioD of respect and de ??ai^5c?^vill conduce to that end. Let the other bars of the state follow the lead of Anderson. The first hitch in the formation of Heyward county was encoun tered last Friday when Judge Aldrich issued a temporary in junction restraining the board of commissioners from further ac tion, upon the ground .that the Heyward county project is the same as that of Hammond county which was defeated, and that an election under Buch circumstances could not be held within four year? from the previous election. The matter will be fully argued before Judge Aldrich [on July the 5th. The outcome will be awaited with interest. From the following it is clearly shown that there is far greater profit in raising sheep than in growing cotton : Mr. S. B. Mays, one of the most intelligent and successful-farmers in the county, had a flock of tweoty nine sheep. He recently sold the wool for $52. and realized $51 from the sale ol fifteen lambs. Not only have the twenty-nine sheep put $103 of ready cash in his pocket, at. s season of year when there is bu? little farm produce available for market, but he has thirty-five sheep left-nine more than he be gan with. Nevertheless, many people say they can not meet their obligations without planting n large acreage in cotton. If it pays Mr. Mays handsomely to di versify his interests-by giving ti me-to stock- raising, fruit cul ture, etc.,-why will it not pay others also ? He is not more favorably environed than are hun dreds .of others. f Rev. Charles E. Burts, Pastor o The Edgefield Baptist Church, Weds S?ss Sadie A. Watson ox Anderson, S. C. While nothing definite could ne learned, yet for many montb? it has been suspected that to Rev. C. E. Burts all roads from Edge field-whether going north, south, east, or west-led to Anderson. If he went to the eastern part of the state to preach or deliver an addrfiBS the nearest way for him to return to Edgefield was always by Anderson. This mystery has -finally been cleared. Having "wooed and won" he will not loDger have to leave or return under cover of darkness, lest some know whither he goeth or whence he cometh. Wedding beils are merrily, joy ously ringing in Anderson this morning as they announce the nuptials of Rev. C. E. Burts and Miss Sadie A. Watson, whose troths are to be plighted at nine o'clock at the elegant suburban home of Mrs. W. G. Watson, the bride's mother, the R(v. J. D. Chapman officiating. Not only is Edgefield mani festing the keenest interest in this marriage because of the very high esteem and genuine affection in which the groom is held by our entire citizenship, Lut when it is heralded over the state that Rev. C. E. Burts is married this joy and interest will become wide spread, aud be will be showered with good wishes and congratula tions. The groom, being one ol' the foremost ministers of the Bap tist pursuasion in South Carolina and president of the alumni as sociation of Furman university, is known from the mountains to the seaboard, numberiug his friends and admirers by the thou sands. The very refined and cultured bride, whom the people of Edge field not having seen already love, is possessed not only of beauty ul face and form but of a beautiful life made up of noble and en nobling qualities of mind and heart which eminently fit her for being the helpmeet of oue whose ?ll is consecrated to the service of the Master. Miss Watson ie a graduate of the Greenville Female collage and is a musician of vor) decided talent, having taken a special course in music under Ferrata, one of ^ho most celebra ted masters who has ever taught in the south. Immcdialely after the wedding breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Burt^ will depart for their wedding journey.-V?u~jttst wneiv. they will ^5^?Ttlieir honey-moon ile. one knoweth, it being the custom now a-days for newly married people not to divulge their p?aDS. All hearts and hones in Edge field will be open to receive Mr. and Mrs. Burts upon their arrival early in August. Very affection ate greetings jnot only from bis flock but from our entire populace await.him and his beautiful bride. On Monday afternoon the ladies of the W. C. T? U. met at the hospitable home cf Mrs. W. L. Seiglor. The "coining Convention was discussed, also plans for aid ing in getting rid of the Dispensa ry". Mrs. B?y T. Ouzts aud tyrs* C. F.

The excursion on last Thursday resulted in a contribution, to the town of Johnston, of four pistols and seventy five dollars in casb. The Band of Hope had then, annual picnic at. JS^Lds.
