Besides selling a considerable quantity of peaches upen the local market, be shipped sixty-odd crates to Charleston that netted him about $165, the price ranging from $2 to $4 per bushel. We asked Col. Mays why it was that his peaches survived the cold while fruit everywhere else was killed. He said that he could no . explain it, and that he did nothing to pro tect it. In portions of his orchard, particularly on the most elevated pla i^B, there are no peaches. Good Wishes Attend Him. Mr. S. W. Williams has ac cepted a position with tbe E.

In the first place we do not waut to lose him, and in the second place it is almost an open secret :bat losing him will also cause the 083 of one who is very fair and *e'l beloved. Cemetery Being Cared For. For some years the village cemetery, be it said lo the shame )f tho towD, was very grievously neglected. But since it was taken in charge by the cemetery associa tion a year sgo, the condition ind geueral appearance of the cemetery have been wonderfully mproved. Recently ihe officers of ,he association havu had a force if hands at work catting and re novicg the weeds and grass from he walks and squares. The en lanced appearance as a result of his work bas been very marked md very generally commented ?pon. The next improvement to De made will be the erection of a lubstantia) aud attractive fence ill aloug . the west side of the cemetery. Those who have had -hese ereat improvements made mould re?oive the thauks of our mtire citizenship. Notice of Election.

The ball giyen in tho opera house on-Thursday evening under the auspices of the Edgefield Rifles has been pronounced a great success, financially ?8 well as socially. There wece seveDty-odd couples in attendance besides a number of onlookers. The compa Dy made about forty dollars after paying the baud and other inci dental expenses. ? Financial Success. By dint of good management, the Dragoons had the sum of $47 left in their treasury after payiug all expenses of the Centre Spring picnic. The gross receipts from all sources wore $398.93 aud the total expense was $305.93 This left $93, but of this amount the members of the company paid $46 by way of assessments. So the actual net proceeds of the pic nic were $47. Considering the great amount of work, worry and anxiety that is connected with the management of so large a function, the profit is really very small. The net profit is not only very small but there is always a possibility of a loss. "Day of Pleasure and Edification." In his letter of July 21st to the News aud Courier, the Edgefield correspondent, Mr. S. McGowan Simkins, makes the following notice of the. annual meeting of the Citizens' League which has been called for Monday next: "The annual meeting of the Citizens' League of this county, the purpose of the organization being the promotion of good citi zenship and the enforcement of law and order, will be hsld at Edgefield on Monday, the 29th inst. The chief feature of the oc casion will be an address by New berry's gifted and distinguished son. Lhe Hou, George B.

Mr. James Stevens, th ? young est son of Mrs. Ida Stevens, ie at home for a season of rest. During the past six months James has been a member of au engineering corps that has been engaged in surveying railroads. They began in South Carolina and went north ward through North Caroliua aud are now in the heart of the. moun taius of Virginia. James likes ac tive, out-of-door life and was de lighted with his work uutil the corps went up against the "moon shiners" ofVirgiuia. He says they are the toughest proposition iu the form of human beings that he ever saw. They have neither fear of God nor regard for mau, and take greater delight in shooting any on* suspected of being a reve nue officer thau they would in killing a rabbit. James says he doesn't mind wading creeks, scaling mountains, crawling through cane-brakes and briar patches but he will draw the line when it comes to invading the haunts of the- "moonshiners."

I Two Edgefiold boys, Alfred Covar acd Jamie Peak, were awarded scholarships in the Char leston college. The Advertiser on gratulatee these two young gen tlemen upon their good fortune. Notwithstanding the fact that the people in upper South Carolina kuow but little of this institution, it is one of the best in the state. .Being handsomely eudowed, the Charleston College has a very able faculty and the standard of the institution is high. These young gentlemen will leave for Charles ton abou.t September the 25th. Quarry to Close Down. ? The quarry has not been op erated with a fulL force for some time, and having filled all con tracts the owners have now deci ded to close down indefinitely. Mr. Ross recently bid on eeveral large contracte but the awards were made toother parties. A man will be left in charge of the work and will run the pumps to prevent an accumulation of water in the excavations so as the owners can begin work at any time in the future without having to remove millions of gallons of water. The quarry pay roll, especially if operated to the full capacity, would greatly increase the volume of busiues* of our town during the summer aud fall. However, let us hope that a full crop of cot ton at a full price will "even up" matters. ' Dr. Child Captured Edgefield. To say that Rev. Dr. R. A. Child captured and captivated Edgefield during his visit is only oxpressiug it mildly. H?B rormon iu the Methodist church OD Sun day morning from the text, "Ye must be boru again," has been prouounced by many to be the ablest discourse ever delivered in Edgefield upon that subject. It was simple, logical, forceful, con vincing. Dr. Child is richly en dowed with a very logical and well disciplined mind, which en ables him not only to expound the scripture and discuss any subject intelligently but most effectively. He was born and reared near Old Cambridge in *his county, and practiced law very successfully at Bickens, S. C., for sixteen years before entering the ministry.
