THE ADVERTISER. Terms, $3,00 per Annum. Thc Advertiser Taking on More Sail. The Advertiser ia in it? Thirty-sixth your, and this week it appears before its honored patrons, enlarged by four col umns, and stamped throughout with tho impress of bran new type. Instead of Thirty-two, as heretofore, the Advertiser has now Thirty-six columns, and, as re gards externals, the old sheet is as fresh and bright as the green leaves of Spring. Pride for our paper, forour-District, and for our people, impels us to this ?marge ment and improvement. Wc say no more, but simply express tho hope that as the Advertiser grows, so may the love of j our people grow -with" it -and around it.

The summer has set in unusually carly, and the fiery rays of old Sol ar? already causing people to pant for green pastures and cooling drinks. Wo will say nothing about the green pastures, but as regards the coolinga debriks, Dr, SANDERS has boldly taken up the cudgel? ?g-unst old Sol.

J??r A band of negroes in disguise, a few nights since, made au attack upon tlie house of Mr. Pud Shaw, in Laurens County. They demanded money, and fired several shots into the house. Mr. Shaw is a very old man, himself mid wife living entirely ?Jone, and the vil lains no doubt thought that they, would have ari easy job? but it so happened that a young friend was with him at thc time who scattered-thc {rang by sprinkling them with shot.

Trade at Hope. TT Edgcfiold is crowded with new Dry Goods, Groceries and Drugs. Our advor tisiug columus are rich iu tho Spring ad vertisements of our honored and enter prising villago Merchants. Wo hopo those advertisements will not pass unno ticed, for really cverjr man's interest is consulted by encouraging his homo trado. Supposing he can as well supply his own wants in his own town, District, or State, as elsewhere, he wrongs himself when he goes elsewhere to spend his money. When it is known that this is his rule of action, every fair dealer in his neighbor hood will aim to trade with him, so as to enable him to realizo the worth of his money. It is an injury to the place in which you live, to use your spare money for the benefit of a place elsewhere, and thus create a rival. Build up your own home interests, and thereby you increase the value of your own property. You will share in the profits if you wish to sell or remove at any time. A lively thriving town invites new settlers, enter prise and capital, which arc but additions to the aggregate wealth of your home. If one is to enjoy life, and is fit for it, he must desire to see those around him prosper. His law is " live, and let live," Our people can supply most of their wants in their own county town, and from men whom they know and should support. We say again, our merchants. | have full and fine stocks, and our people should trade at home. Local Dots. In this old town, Spring is radiant and" triumphant. In the park and around the public square the trees are as deeply green as in July. As we gaze from our j window on this beautiful April morning, all looks frightfully calm and peaceful. Aiid as if to illustrate the scene, a young salesman in a popular store across the way, closes both his front and back doors with an angry liang, and says jeeringly, "For fear 1 shall sell all these new goods before we can get more, I'll close up and bar out the crowd." And there comes Dr. SANDERS, and wc are reminded tliat he is the person here abouts who first had green peas this spring. The Dr. had them more than twoVeeksago; and next to him conies our friond CHARLIK CHEATHAM. Hut! as regards cabbages CHARLIE is ahead of j thc Dr. So you all know now who are f thc two "'big irijuns" in thc gardening linc. And pcrccivo those nine little negroes going to schcol.

Thc negro school-house and thc negro grave yard are upon ihc hill in the rear of Mr BRYAN'S residence, and the spot for so new a ono, is curious and well worth vis iting. Both thc nivmber of graves and their fioral decorations arc subjects of ] surpriso and astonishment. The school, wc believe, is quite large. Thc most salient feature of our village life last week, was tho Entertainment in behalf of the Soldiers' Monument in Co lumbia. This was gotten up and carried through by two ladies of equal energy and taste, Mrs. LEWIS JONES and Mass MAXIE JONES. Thc Charades, acted by very young persons alone, wore lively, piquant and decidedly well played, while thc Tableaux, presided over by our artis tic friend U. H. Mi.ns, were among thc most beautiful we eve? beheld. As re gards thc supper, it was all that becomes the fame of Kdgciicld ladies. Thc occa sion was in all respects a delightful one, and the ladies, if we are not misinformed, realized ?hORt One Hundred Dollars. Another pleasing ?*??/;;-f village life, lately, has been tho Kastor decorations | and the Kastor music in Trinity Church. Tho blessed season of rejoicing has been worthily commemorated and all, we hope hayo "kept thc feast, not with the old leaven ot ttWjji'C and wickedness, but with the unleavened br^?d of sincerity and trutb." ? Colder o? Money"-Cold, Colder, Coldest. A du* ar two ago wc overheard a man, who was-trying io g?? %. drink'in a bar room on credit, say, " I'm colder of ;uonoy just now than I ever was in my lite be fore." There was a flatness and force about the expression that struck us won derfully. Could anything bo more strong ly or more hopelessly expressive? We have added a chorus "Cold, Colder' Coldest," and wc should like to sec thc man or woman in these parts, who could not f#kc it ttl? with a full and feeling voice. ? Wo learn (says tho Anderson In telligencer) from Judge Orr that there was little or no business before thc Court, at Bickens last week, and that only two bills were given out to tho Grand Jury, one of >vhich was ignored. On tho civil docket, no ?ttgp of importance went to trial. It will be rcmejiiwci'^U that thc November term was even more destitute of interest, as there was not a single in dictment or any business before the Cojjrt Kight months of practical ex emption frpm legal business entitles Picken* to the prajsp as ? model county. ?SBr A wag thus eulogizeshis Ids musi cal attainments : " I know two tunes ; the one is 'Auld Lang Sync' and the other j isn't.

Our gay and festivo Bowen is certainty ecljpscd by this Wes tern marry ing-man. THE STATES STILL SOVEREIGN.-The .Supreme Court of the United States re mit ly struck a death blow, to the Radica] doctrine of cirjtraljzatjon. It held the axt-nintion bf State Courte from all Federal ifiterierence, and declared the States, un der the Constitution, ''as sovereign and independent as the General Government." That is the true doctrine.

The Distinctive Feature of the Stock system of Lifo Inguran?ej os o? posod to the Hutnal, is a jow^ rate'of1 premium tor a stated ?um insured, which >'? m MEDIATE, SECDBED and CERTAIN ; in ! jeu of a 'high rate nf premium' with a promised dividend, which ?8 DISTAHTy C0NTIHaj5)IT ?pd pVptjlfiUf y this so called dlriijond bain- merely a return of a portion of tho excessive and unnecessary pre mium charged in the firititndorjOQ. Illustration, Suppose that an individual aged thirty de sires to devote $200 a year for ibo purposo of effecting an insurance on his life : this amount will itu me 'Holy secure bim in tho UNIVERSAL the sum pf $11,7?1, payable en his-decease. This sum, paid to a oompany charging the or dinary mutual rates, wo\$d ?ecafe him tho sum of $8,474-diiferenee, immediately secured, in favor ol tho UNIVERSAL, $3,277. To illustrato tho importance to the policy bolder of low premiums in more general terms, it may be stated that by a reduction of twenty-fire per cent, in the rate of premium, the same amount of money will secure a policy thirty-three and one third per cont. greater, and likewise that a reduction of twgufy?Bvo percents in the rate qf pr?g?uai ia preciiiely equivalent to an ? ? M liai cash dividend nf thirty-three and une-third percent, payable in advance, or to a dividend of forty-five per cent, payable at the end of fivo .'ears. By tho Stock plan Ihe full cash effect of the premium is immediately secured to tho in sured, tho Company taking all the risk! By the il u LU al plan the full vu lue in insurance of the premium paid is not secured to the policy bolder, who takes portion of the risk himself. The Premiums charged by th,p UNIVERSAL are as low as the actual experience of insured life in this coun try will justify, and on the ordinary Life and Ten-Year Non-forfeituro policies are NEAR LY ONE-THIRD LOWER than those charged by the majority of Mutual Companies. Special attention is asked to our " Return Premium Plan," by which the amount uf the policy is secured simply hy ?Le temporary de posit of the animal premiums, which aro re turned in full, together with tho amount as sured, to the holder of policy when it shall become a claim upon tho Company. A clause is inserted in the policios issued by the UNIVERSAL, in which these results aro dis tinctly xpecijied and guaranteed. GEO. ll. LAKE, G.eaciai Agent. g5?"Qood Canvasser wanted. Edgefield, S.
