?SUE ADVERTISER. :___;_ Terms, ?3,00 per Annum. " Fannie Griffin.?' We speak of her in the gentle and fa miliar language of long friendship. This young arid x?uch-bcl?ved girl, daughter of STANHOBEB. GRIFFIN, ?sq., passed, on Thursday last, from Earth to her Heavenly Rest. In her death, her family ana our' community hsve sustained a heavy loss, which they will not easily repair. We are' fully conscious how much our -words. iniport,and havo a pro fbtrncT conviction of their truthfulness. Peacefully and in calm/assurance did her young spirit return to the God who gave it! Give the First Place to the Railroad Call. In reading the Advertiser this week we hope all our citizens, in all sections, will give the first place to the Railroad Call. We publish, also this week the proceedings of a railroad Meeting recent ly held in Spartanburg. Let our Edgefield Meeting on Sale-day next be one out of which something shall come. Let the owners of real estate all along the proposed route bo here, pre pared to give their views-and, if they shall be convinced of the advisability their money. The remote advantages of the contemplated Road are many. The more immediate and local advantages aro still more numerous, and of greater importance. There is every inducement to invite the hearty co-operation of all our citizens in a vigorous effort to secure the Road. Our meeting, then on Monday week should be one tremendous in numbers and in vim. _. _ Edgefield Enterprise Invading Au gusta. As will be seen by reference to our ad vertising columns, three young gentle men of Edgefield have jusF opened a large Grocery Business in Augusta Capt. Tom. Carwile, Mr. Edward Carwile, and "MJ. Willie Carwile-sons of our universaUy esteemed fellow citizen, Ma jor Z. W. Carwile. Theso three brothers are widely known in our District, al though the Senior, Capt. Tom, is still quite a young man. They are thorough gentlemen, and thoroughly good men. As gentlemen, as citizens, as business men, they will wear well wherever they go. Everybody at home-one of the best signs in the world !-unfeignedly wishes them well. And wo can assure the business world and sochd'eommuni ty of Augusta that they will be gainers by the acquisition of the Carwilea. Thflir Establishment is a few doors be low " Richards," on tho same side. Mighty Mellow, and Still a Mellowin'. '.Red hot and still a heatm'." as our humorous young friend, H. B. H. would say. We allude to the bottle of Oxley Whiskey presented us the other day by Dr. SANDERS. Nine years old! Read what is said about it in Dr. S's. new ad vertisement. It is superhumanly fine. But don't try it, any of you. It will lift you too high and too permanently above the earth. A Big Thing at Graniteville. Wo don't mean the lato duel, or any thing of that blood}- sort. Oh ! no, quite a different affair. We allude to the won derfully -Fine and Cheap Dry ' Goods Establishment of the Henderson Broth ers. And did we say Dry Goods? Yes, to bo sure, but not Dry Goodsalone. Thc Hendersons keep immense supplies, cf | Groceries, Ready-Made Clothing, and but read their new advertisement, and see for yourself. They are as clever fel lows as ever lived, and wc bespeak for them universal favor and patronage. The Tidal Wave at Markcrt & Clisby's. As we have said elsewhere, they are Opening a Tidal Wave of New Things at MARKERT i CLISIIY'S Drugstore. And. to be sure, their now Advertisement this week will go far to prove tho truth of what we s?y. We hope none of our readers will overlook it. And be certain to bear in mind that MARKERT& CLISBY are as well provided in tho Grocer}' Line as in the Drug Line. And then too Markert it Clisby arc both eligible and aspiring bachelors, longing for a new blessedness. As these facts, however, do not appear in the ad vertisement, perhaps we had best not enlarge upon them. And then-but "you knowhow it is Yourself!" Exit of a Talented Editor. Mr. E. R. STUART, for a few years past Editor of that popular Avcckly thc Wiunsboro New?, has retired from that position and gone to the Saud Hills, near Augusta, where he has become Principal of a largo school. He is devoted, body and soul, to the great cause of education. He thinks broadly and is a philosopher. Under his leadership the Wihnsboro News stood out in bold relief for origi nality and usefulness. --? ??^>>.-i Tr.bute of Love to the Memory ol Miss Fannie ll. Griffin. At a meeting of thc Baptist Sabbath School, on Sunday the 17th inst., the fol lowing Preamble and Resolutions were presented,by Dr. W. A. SANDERS, Super intendent of the School, and adopted amid the deepest sadness and emotion: WHEREAS, It hath pleased Almighty God, in his inscrutable wisdom, to re move from us thc gentle and pions FAN NIE B. GRIFFIN, the accomplished Or gauLst of our Choi.-, and thc best beloved of our association, who exhausted so much of her energy and spent her young: lifo so freely in Christian work and charity for all, and more especially for thia Sabbath School, anti the Church to which it is attached. Therefore Resolved, That in her death this School, this Church, and the community of tin Village of Edgefield, have lost one \vh ? in all the relations of life, as Daughter, Sister, Friend and Christian, was ever, in our estimation, even while upon this earth, entitled to the same "Well Done, Thou Good And Fail.hful Servant!"' which has so lately welcomed her into the life of thc Just mad<* perfect. Ilexntved, That while we bow with ali humility to tho omnipotent mandate o. Him who gathereth up His Jewels at such time as it- suiteth Him, and while wo console onr grief with the thought, that our loss is her eternal gain, yet our feelings ot' regret for tho sad bereave ment will not allow us to refrain from this poor tribute of our heatfelt sorrow for the early demise of her whose memo ry we will ever cherish, and whose life aiid services we will ever hold up as tho brightest exemplar to our association. Truly in the death of our?youthful friend and sister we have a striking illustration of the truth, confirmed alike by Heathen and Christian, .that "They whom God 1 >ves die young." .Resolved, That a page of the Sabbath School Record be dedicated to her memo ry- _, ,_ jpt'K J. Ransier, the colored Lieu tenant-Governor of South Carolina, and Chairman of the Republican State Exec utive Committee, publishes a letter in the News, strongly opposing the propos ed declaration of martial law. He thinks tho civil powers amply sufficient to re press existing disorders, and that mar tial law, as a remedy, would bo worse than tho disease. 'p?F A fireman's row occurred at Nor foUc, Va., on Saturday night between the United and Hope Companies ol' that place, in which revolvers were freely usod and six men wounded. m In conse quence steps will probably be taken to nbolish the volunteer system and substi tute a paid Fiie Department, _?rir D. EL Farmer, of Walterboro, has been appointed Judye of the Second Cir cuit for the unexpired term of Judge Z. Platt, deceased. -Marvelous Escape of This Old Town from Complete Destruction* On Saturday night last, a little before ten o'clock, our community was surpris ed and alarmed Ly cries of "Fire !" The church-bells rang out wildly, and in a few.inbiutes the whole male population, white and black, was gathered around [ the burning building. This was tho long and roomy Stable belonging to the .Hotel, tho property and residence of S, S. TqMTKU?s, Esq., and standing imme-j diately in rear (about 45 feet from it) of the large two-story wooden building f owned.by Capt. F. L. SMITH, but occu pied by Mr. M. A. MARKERT asa Work Shop and Undertakers Rooms. The Sta ble was rented by Mr. WALLS, who runs a hack between this and Pino House Depot. When the fire broke out there were in the stable four horses and three or four .jhicies belonging to Mr. WALLS, also a considerable quantity of .fodder. Tho horses and vehiclos were promptly rescued, though not without considera ble peril to the rescuers, the fire having spread almost throughout tho entire j building. . By the time the crowd assem bled the Stable was totally past redemp tion, and the only thought was to save Mr. MARKERT'S shop. The said build ing stands on the back street, almost in rexr of, and extremely near, thc long row of stores commonly known as Park Row.. . Had it caught fire, the whole public square bf Edgefield 'would have been inevitably doomed to destruction. The wind blew the Hames directly against it, while showers of huge cinders were borne aloft, falling, as thick as hail, upon tho roofs of Park Row, upon tho Adver tiser Office, and upon the Drug Store of j MARKERT <fc CLISBY. Every merchant in town expected to see his store-room and his goods consumed in a few hours. The tremendous rains of Friday night had so thoroughly saturated the shin gles, however, that they withstood it all. And to this fiict, no less than the brave work of our citizens, white and black, must be attributed the saving of our j public square. The scene was a wild and startling one for Edgefield. Tho contents of Mr. MARKERT'S shop, consisting for the most part of coffins of various sizes and styles, and also a .hearse, had been hastily mov ed out, and these lying about the square, or leaning against the chains of the Park fence, gave to the occasion, as tho Hames glared upon them, a very weird and tragic chara?ter. But many people worked wisely and unremittingly, and the building was. saved-and with it all thc business part of Edgefield. And most of these people who worked so well were freedmen. It has become rather the custom of tho present day to publicly praise tho efforts of thc colored people on such occasions as the one wo describe. But in this case we mean no conventionality and no stuff. Tho conduct of the colored people was simply as brave, as noble, and as unsel fish as it could be. They worked with a vim and cheerfulness which was alto gether spontaneous, and which had no motive but that of doing right. And n pleasant fact to note, was that a number of colored men who may be called lead ers hereabouts, were not the least promi nent in setting a good example. And oven a few colored-women rushed Inaiid made themselves conspicuously useful. One-Eliza Simkins by name-luggei stich quantities of water, and so uurc mittingly, that she'may well be callee hereafter "thc Fire Engine." And now the other side of thc picture. After the danger and suspenso wert over, came thc fun. Tho blacks who had bchavrrd so well-and liad so forcibly called to mind their old time faithfulness during tho war-were almost literally bathed in whiskey. In fact both white and black needed it strongly. The .Messrs DcRlsoEand MARKERT cfc CLLSBY sent forth tho fluid in buckets and tubs, and for once in our life we saw whiskey yo begging. And after tho whiskey came, thc dance, the song and the general jol lification. Upon the whole, it was an cx tremel^rousing night in this dull town. As to the origin of the lire, tho gene ral opinion is that it was caused by thc carelessness and inattention of those who frequented the stable. The loss of Major TOMPKINS is estimated atSSOO or $1000. That of Mr. MARKERT, from damage to furniture and lumber, about $:>00. And now is the time to organize a Fire Company and buy a Fire Engine. When a lire breaks out in Edgelield, we arc hopelessly and pitifully atits mercy. We escaped on Saturday night, but in a man ner almost miraculous. God takes care of us, as has lately been strikingly il lustrated, but lie also, in affairs tempo ral as well as spiritual, calls upon us to be co-workers in our own salvation. Local Jottings. For three nighs post, that excellent preacher and earnest christian, tho Rev. W. H. LAWTON, who lives in the Nine ty-Six section, has preached to large con gregations in the Methodist Church of our town. Signs of deep and serious feeling have been manifested, and it is probablo this preaching will develop it self into an important meeting. Lately we have had floods and torrents of rain-almost equal to the " Tidal Wave" predicted by Prof. Agassiz. Ol' course almost every one lias heard, by this time, of the fearful Tidal Wave, 50 or 60 feet high, which Prof. Agassiz says is to devastate all the Southern Atlantic Sea board, for 20 miles back, on the night ol the ">th of October. It is occasioning much talk and speculation, and in .some quarters great alarm. But Prof. Agas sis, who is now in South America, is too > truly a Scientific man to have really made any stielt prediction. I. s all stud", and no Tidal "Wave will come. But wo have had several lately in the Beaver Dam and Academy Branch, occasioning great trouble to bridges, wayfarers, and bot tom-lands. Very soon we arc to have tho usn_ ejuinootial "New Goods" sensation. The first pf our merchants to depart for " tuc great marts .of trade" was Mr. J. H. CHEATHAM-our friend "TORY" who has been gone so long that he must be looking at each and every article ' through a spy glass, before buying it. Mr. W. H. BRVXSON luis also been gone lmig enough to be back, but still he lin gers. Both these Edgefield merchants aro doubtless at this moment "chin ning" either Stewart, Claflin, Jaffrey or | Madame Railings. And then there is our popular next door neighbor; young CLISBY (generally called "CLIS" as a term of endearment) who .is already opening a Tidal Wave of new Drugs, Medicines and Fancy Articles. CMS is already in a waiting j posture for men, women, and money. After a vacation of over two months, the boys ?nd girls have again swung on their school satchels and resumed their studies. The summer although a hot one, has not been unpleasant for j^oung ' people. They have had their social gath erings, pic-l?es, fishing parties, an abun dance of fruit, and with all been blessed with excellent health ; and now if they are not.thankful, and willing and deter mined to study hard and improve their time why they ought to be-killed! Miss BUTLER'S popular school opens with full ranks and much esprit du corps. But there is still room in it for more. The Rev. Mr. BROADDUS opened tho M:de Academy on Monday tho l?th, and is already-hard at work. If our people will give him a half chance, ho will build up a line school in our midst. Of little incidents about town we know none. Conflagrations and Tidal Wave have been our staple for a week past. Last week, in Americus, Ga., so w< read, a small boy-pretty and sharp got himself up in girl's clothing (woulc you call him-wolf or sheep?) and went round, making candy and sweetmeats hy selling kisses to "certain young mer chants and clerks of that town. Verbum ! sap ! So look out, Clis, and Willie P. I and Charlie C. and Stephen ll., lest you bo beguiled of your sugar-plums. ? ' -.-?on i-'? AIKEN ELECTION.-The annual election for Intendant and Wardens of the town of Aiken took place on Monday last. Early in the day it became evident to all that the entire Lounsbery ticket would be elected by a large majority, and the friends of the other tickets did but little drumming. Mr. G. H. Lounsbery was elected Intendant, having received 229 of the 276 votes cast, Mr. Carsten, 28; Mr. Kemme, 14; Dr. Rockwell, 5. Messrs. CC. Moseley, McKay, J. N. and C. D. Hayne, Stoney and Major were elected Wardens. Special Notices. Exuberant Health. TL a blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those who have been favored by nature with strong constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to neglect the precautions necessary to preserve these precious en dowments. Indeed, as a rule, tho more hnalthy and robust aman is, the more liberties he is inclined to take with his own physique.' It is some consolation to tho naturally weak and feeble to know that they can be so invigorated and built up, by a proper use of tho means which science has placed at their "disposal, as to have a much better chance ol long life, and exemptions from disease and pain, than tho most athletic of their fellows who are foolish enough to suppose them selves invulnerable, and act accordingly. It is not *oo much to say that more than half the people of the civilized world need an occasional tonic, to enable them to support the strain upon their bodies and minds, which the fast life of this restless age occasions. In fact, apure, wholesome, unexciting tonic is the grand desideratum of the busy millions, and they have the article in Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters. It is a staminal medicine, i. e. it imparts permauent strength to weak systems and invigorates delicate consti tutions. Its reputation and its sales have steadily increased. Competitive prc prepations have been introduced ad' libitum, and, as far as thc public is con cerned, cid nauseam, in the hope of rival ing it ; but they have all either perished in the attempt, or been left far in the rear. It has been the great medical suc cess of the present century, and it is quite certain that no proprietary medicine in this country is as widely 'known, or as generally used. Ten lightning presses, running inces santly (?suncUiya excepted,) tho whole year through, barely supply thc demand tor thc Illustrated Almanac", in which the nature and uses of the preparation are set forth, the circulation now being over eight millious a year. IMPORTANT TO BUILDERS AND CON TRACTORS.- We learn from our Charles ton exchanges that Mr. P. P. TOALE, the well-kno vn manufacturer of Doors, Sash es, Blinds, &c, has established a dopot at No. 20 Hayne street, where he keeps con stantly on"hand not only all articles from his own manufactory, but also every va riety of builders' hardware, French and American window glass, both plain and ornamental, slate mantels, and, in short, everything necessary to finish handsome y a residence, a store or a church.

Thc Original Stock Life Insurance Co. o? the United States. OFFICERS: WILLIAM WALKER, President. HENRY J. FURBER, vice-President GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. JOHN IL BEWLEY, Secretary. E. W. LAMBERT, M. D., Med. Ex. This Company Offers tho Following Important Advantages to those About Effecting Insurance on their Lives: 1st. Insurance at Stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 Per Cent, less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies. 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will shnre iu thc Profits of the Company to ?thc same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal amouht of the Capital Stock. 3d. Every Policy issued by the Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING TIIE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY READ TUE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience hos demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily charged by Life insurance Companies aro from twenty-live to thirty per cont, in excess of what are necessary for a sale and legitimate conduct of thc business. In other weirds, carefully and prudently-managed Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been utile to return to their policyholders fruin 25 to 30 percent, of ?h<; amount chu rged ?r premiums. When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, tho reliability of the data upon which thc premiums were constructed had not undergone thu lest of experience. It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which \\<oula, in any event, meet all thc presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was bettor to fix the rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to tho policyholders, at certain intervals, such pr' 'ion of thc premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that the?c rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them ? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accor dance therewith, and which has proved to bc fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty five per "cent, lower than those charged by Mutual Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch as the rides so established were as near as could possibly be determined fair rates, and not in excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders in Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage ment" justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of the Company, for thc risk incurred by them in undertaking tho business. ^Experience has shown that there are sources of profit in thc practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in the calculation of the premiums. These results from a saving in thc mortality of the members of a Com pany owing to the medical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the Company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from the lapsing and surrender of Policies by the members, and from other minor sources. Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and do ing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in ex cess of what were counted on by the Directors of thc Universal at the time of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among the policyholders of the Company a large part of the profits accruing from the sources named, all of which have, heretofore been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division is as follows : Every person who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockhol ler to the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policy ; and wibi share in the profits of the Company to precisely thc same extent as a Stockholder owing an equal amount of the capital stock. By this sys..;m of Insurance, original with thc Universal, the policyholder secures the following important advantages : U-Jt ii FIRST. Insurance ai the regul?r "Stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay oj about twenty to thirty per cent, less than that charged by Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to a yearly " dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum of $1,517,000. To effect the. same amount of insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them an initial outlay of ^000,000. By allowing its policyholders to-retain in their own pos session this excess of $483,000, thc Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend" ol $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the ena of one or more years. It impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by returning to its policyholders an equal'Amount upon similar receipts. SKCOND. Participation in thc legitimate profits of the Company, upon apian which secures to the policy'holders the same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award themselves. This system of participation, in connection with the low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure to thc policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates, of rlremium compel economy, and, ('mdepen'dent.of participation, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by thc proposed plan of participation in what may be considered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in theprofits it is confidently believed that thc UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. Those of the existing Policyholders who desire to participate in the Profite der the new'Plan can do so by making application to the Heaa Office, or to any oi Agents of the Company. The Company is in a iqtfntf financial condition. Ratio of Assets to Liabilities 136 to 100.
