" 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.

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.

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.
IVotice
IS hereby given that application will be
made tit the next session of tho Leg
islature of this State for a charter to build
a Railroad from Laurens C. H. via Edge
field C. H. to Augusta, Ga., or some
point on thc C. C. A* A. Railroad South ol'

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.
