Oar Supplement.
This week our Supplement, in addition
to several important State laws, contains
a varied selection of interesting miscella
neous reading, to which we invite the
attention of our readers.
'Our Devil, on the eve of going to
press, played the d-1 with our "Notes
in Brief from Johnston's Depot,"-and
in consequence of his carelessness we
are now necessarily compelled to defer
the said " Notes" until our next issue.
" It Blesseth Him Who Gives and
Him Who Takes."
Such a bouquet as we (D. R. D.) re
ceived lately-wi *h kindest wishes upon
an anniversary day-from our honored
friend, Mrs. Nathan L. Griffin, ia "a
thing of beauty, a joy forever"-blessing
"him who gives and bim who takes"
Our thanks and our appreciation, we beg
to assure our esteemed and gentle friend,
are very heartfelt and very genuine.
A New Organ for the Baptist Church.
We would direct particular attention to
the card, in another column, of Simmons
<fe Clough, organ builders, of Detroit,
Mich.
We are glad to announce that the Bap
tist congregation of our town, will soon
receive one of the popular instruments
of Simmons A Clough-whereupon we
shall have more to say upon the subject.
An Aiken Editor Visits Oar Town.
It gave us much pleasure, a day or two
since, to receive a visit from Mr. H. F.
Sparnick, .avery agreeable gentleman,
and editor of our neighbor and co tempo
rary, the Aiken Tribune.
A New Citizen and Professiolal Man.
With much pleasure we call the atten
tion of the public to the card of Dr. Shaf
fer, in another column. Dr. Shaffer, who
has lately settled among us, is a gentle
man of the highest character-and in his
professional character is skillful and ex
perienced.
The Floral Fair-The Sabre Club
Contest-The Ball.
AU -these grand and brilliant things
are to take place in Augusta soon. The
Horticultural Exhibition is to be held
on Wednesday and Thursday, May 8th
and 9th. " The grand and novel Tourna
ment between the Sabre Clubs of Savan
nah and Augusta wai take place on the
same days, and at the same place-thc
grounds of the Cotton States Mechanics
and Agricultural Fair Association. The
Ball, to be given in T^ral Hall, .will w?nfl
np the two days' amusement. If all thi<=
does not draw a throne: of visitors from
Edgefield, we do rot know what will.
We are happy to acknowledge the
receipt of a complimentary ticket to the
Horticultural Exhibition.
Fatal Accident.
Mr. John Red, a young man from
Barnwell County, who has been residing
in our town for several months,-an in
dustrious, sober and clever young man
was killed by the cars of the C. C. & A.
Railroad on Friday night, the 18th inst.,
near the junction of the two Railroads
at G rani tevillc.
No one having seen Mr. Red at the
time the accident occurred, the circum
stances attending the. killing are not
known. A jury of inquest was empan
nelled on Saturday last, but on account
of the absence of material witnesses, it
adjourned its session to meet again on
.to-day, Thursday.
The Columbia Union, of the 21st inst.,
contains the following:
GJSAJN'ITKVILLE, S. C., April 21,72.
To the Editor Daily Union :
A heart-rending accident occurred at
this place last night caused by the neglect
of the. C. C. <fe A. train to sound their
whistle at the usual place. The name of |
the victim was Red, who, I am informed
by the Hon. John Woollev, was a man of |
estimable character. He leaves ? wife to
mourn his loss.
It is said that at the time of the occur
rence the two trains from Augusta, due
here at the same time, were running a
race. Evidently Mr. Red attempted to
iump upon the train, which he would not
nave done had the whistle sounded the
usual " stop." The community is justly
incensed at this manifestation of indiffer
ence on the part of the derelict engineer.
RUPERT.
We have heard of late of the frequent
occurrence of Railroad accidents in the
. South. And when it is established that |
an accident occurs through negligence of
the officers of the Road, not only should
the public manifest its indignation, but
the parties who hereby are deprived of
the stay and support of the family, should
resort to the law, and require these cor
porations to answer in heavy pecuniary
damages for their acts of carelessness.
Mr. Red leaves a family -who were de
pendent on his labors for a support.

A Little Unpleasantness in the Mt.
Williup Section.
One Richard Major, a highly colored
individual, telling a highly colored tale,
was in our town a day or two ago, seek
ing a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Wm.
Purifoy, a son of the-Rey. Mr. Purifoy,
who, he alleged, had shot him while at
work in the field. Major, if we mis
lake not, was in the employ of Mr. Pu
rifoy. Ho had a wound in .the.back, but
not(a dangerous one. Trial-Justice Ram
say issued the warrant. .
"Great On!?* from Little Acorns
(Crow."
A line which most people have heard
before ! But the oak-what and where is
it? It is Johnston's Depot S miles to thc
East of us. It is not yet a great oak, but
it really promises to become one You
would be surprised t<> sec how rapidly
it is becoming a town. And the "Fred
ericksburg Store" of Johnston's Depot
is that of our friend, George J. Toncy,
who has been so long in the- real Fred
ericksburg Store in Auuusta. Sec Mr,
Toney's advertisement in another col
umn ; and remember that yon need go
no further than Ton cy's*, at Johnston's
Depot, to buy everything you could in
Tew York-just as new, just as fashion
ble, and just as cheap-cheaper in

Read Mr. Johnson's card in another

Fashionable Twinklings,

"he Alsatian bow is tlie latest novelty
' the day in trimming and is used on
-esses, cloaks, sacques, and bonnets.
Plain gold sleeve studs, rounded like a
button, and without chasing or mono?

A new kind of lace for trimming dress
-es is called "daisy lace," and is about a
finger wide, tho edge being formed by
. large silk daisies. Tho effect is fine on a
.black siJk.
There arc three kindsof lace-the hand
made, called point lace; that mad..; mi a
-cushion, which is Valenciennes, and tho
machine lace, which is noir so m u ca used
for trimming.
Graniteville Manufacturing Com- "
pany.
The annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of tho Graniteville Manufacturing
Company (says the Chronicle <fr Sentinel
of Saturday,) took place at their office at
Graniteville, yesterday. After the usual
routine of business, an election was held
and the company re-elected the President,
H. H. Hickman, and the old Board, com
posed of the following, viz : James P.
Boyce, W. L. Trenholm, A.' B. Davidson,
A. S. Johnson, J. M. Clark, H. Beattie
and Alexander MacBeth.
The executive officers were all contin
ued, and aro as follows: W. E. McCoy,
Cashier ; John Knott, Manufacturer ;
George Kelly, Manager; James H. Giles,
Secretary.
We understand from reliable authority
that tho Board has been instructed by
the shareholders to extend the opera
tions of the mill-as they may deem fit
and we trust that the great success of the
past may induce the early erection of an
additional mill.
For the Advertiser.
MR. EDITOR: On a recent visit to Gran
iteville, I was surprised to learn that the
population is now three thousand souls.
I had supposed only about fifteen hun
dred. I also learned that it is contem
t plated to increase the business capacity
of the Mills to about double the present.
In looking around at the several splen
did establishments of merchandize, I
chanced to fall in to the House of our
good old friend and fellow-citizen, Mr.
L. G. Swearengin, who has recently es
tablished himself as a merchant in that
town, jdr. S. was marking and shelving
a very large addition to his already fino
stock, and when the work was finished,
I must say that my eyes have seldom
looked upon a better or more tasteful
stock of goods. Call upon Mr. Swearen
gin, and he will take pleasure in show
ing you his beautiful goods, and when
you make your purchases (as you cer
tainly will,) you will find your bill?
low as the lowest. A.
Political.
PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-A meeting
of Liberal Republicans appointed a com
mittee of thirteen to arrange for the Cin
cinnati trip. Gen. Thomas said that he
labored to build up the Republican party,
but now he was free to say that it was the
most cerrnpt party on the face of the
earth. Col. McClure said the English of |
the whole thing was rebellion and the
bringing of it to tho dignity of revolu
tion. Five years ago there might have
been necessity for the exercise of milita
ry power in the South, but not now. The
speaker differed with Grant upon princi
ple. The dangerous thing tho free in
stitutions of the country had to meet,
was the policy of Gen. Grant to carry
elections by force of the bayonet. To
his mind the South has been more deso
lated since than during the war.
&- The Great Republic, a Democratic
weekly, published in Philadelphia, de
clares that " it is manifestly the duty of |
all Democrats to bury party feeling and
differences, at least for the present, and
I join issue with the Liberal Republicans,
in order to defeat tho common enemy,
the Radicals." The Great Republic flies
thc names of Charles Francis Adams for
President and Jacob D. Cox for Vice
president at the head of its columns.
(g**?* An Englishman, temporarily- re
siding in Lowell, Mass., says that he sees
mor? drunkenness there than he ever
saw in any town in England. He con
cludes that the Prohibitory law is a farce,
the State police a machine to squeeze
money out of people, and the result a dis
grace to the city and Stale.
???r A very wicked Connecticut man
being recently taken ill, and believing
he was about to die? told a neighbor that
he felt the need of preparation for tho
next world and would like to see some
proper pc m in regard to it, whereupon
thc feeling friend sent for a fire insurance
agent.
KEEP THE HAIR UNBLEMISHED.-" I
am like an old hemlock-withered at the
top," said a venerable Indian Chief, point
ing to his thin and bleaching locks.
Thousands of men and women in civil
ized society, much younger than the old
Sagamore," are like him, "withered at
the top," simply because they have neg
lected to use the means of preserving
and beautifying thc hair which science
had placed at their disposal. If LYON'S
KATHAIKOX be faithfully applied once
or twice a day, to the fibres and the scalp,
it is just as impossible that the bair
should decay, wither, fall out or become
harsh and fuzzy, as that a meadow, duly
refreshed with*nightly dews and sunlit
rains, should become arid and barren of J
-jrreen blades. This matchless prepara
tion not only keeps the hair alive and
the skin of the head in a healthy and
clean Condition, but actually multiplies
the filaments and imparts to thom a lus
tre, flexibility and wavy beauty unat
tainable by any other mode of treatment.
It does not, like the metallic and sulphu
rous hair dyes, dry up the natural mois
ture of the scalp, bat supplies nutriment
to the roots of the hair and vigor to the
fibers.

"From the above fair arid; accurate 'comparison of raies, it will' be seen fiat,
while the rates of insurance tor male risks in.the Brooklyn are ;a fraction
cheaper than the established rates of other first class 'Companies,, yet the-1
additional charge for fendale risks, and the average male and female,* makef "'
the rates muoh higher ihan-the Piedmont &? Arlington ; to say,nothing ol
the fact that the premiums (all cash) in the Piedmont &. Arlington may-be*
reduced by Dividends after one annjual payment, and in the Brooklyn ^!'-at
the settlement of the third annual premium, and annually thereafter.!-.' *
The intention ?of this article'is to remove from th? minds pf ^som?,oi the;
patrons of .our Company, the;ir?pression that we are t Jargingjth.em more for;
Insurance than they w- old have to pay in-other good Gompaniesrran'd net -

we proceed to*present in general terms, the peculiar "advantages.* of "fte"
'Piedmont & Arlington-. ' .'-"' , \ ??j .; .'I - . .*';
It.is the only Sout/iern -Company tliat has..pass?3" th? rigidei?ispe)?,?ion of
the Insurance Deparhuerits of :Ne*w^Tbrk, Oliib. .Missouri^ California, andj
ote?is',', and is working. succ?ssX?llylwith Northern agents, at "ho * extra' ex-,

no'expetise b'utthe regular mod?rale".oommiss?ons.paid Agents here. . To.lae
bri?Cwe offeKyou a well-established Southern Company, which will insure
your lifeand paya fair intereston your mon'ey .from the day you invest, and.,
the principal punctually when due^ not requiring.you, toilet yoyr capital lay%
idle fw several years as is thccustonirof niaiiy Companies, without tne, usual -
forfeitures- -of policies from- death- in violation of the law .of the.S^ife in.'
which yoW.r?sid?,. or'the United States, or from non-payment of premiums
when prevented bj wat; as wa^s lately-the"case at the South...' s v. { '..
-Toar-;inyestm?nv is . so/er..;in the Piedmont & Arlington,^. because.it.musi'\
be-based on real estate of twice the value^vithout restriction as taterritory,
and cannot be destroyed m 'one fire, as was,the case at.Chicago, and aa "may
be-'afc?nt/ time in. any-;Gompany; (fire or life,) organized in the Stata of.Iiew.
.Yorlc, -"fot"th'?-:State.-raws-reslrictVthelr investments to.NI'w.?ork cit/, and
"fifty miles1 around, under penalty'of forfeit?r? of 'CKarter' jor violation pf law..
Thus^s.toie'ap'preheh^ the' danger of desVuctip'n of Capital
and Ass?tslbyfire," as wafl'jielc^wrtli about 60 fire' Companies at .Chicago,
but also the lower rate of. interest era first class in vestments., from, restriction
of territory by State laws. That the'New York Com^anics^Jrth^s rtistrii'
tion, is'proven by,the persistent efforts of fheir different ?risur-'.nci?-C?nven
tions to have it removed, so *s to allow '.their vapt and rapidly- accruing
capital to have .the advantage of the larger rates of interest, and gi*ear. 'i
choicAof.investment.8; butsthe contracted, policy of dieif Stat^^legislators,
' who can see only the local interest of Ote Ody and vicinity^ has so far defeated
all effort* of their financiers, and every dollar paid them ,:mnat.be taken'
from our own impoverished ..country to be invested^ less,safely, and at les*'
advantage, for the benefit of that section which is opp>-essing an^^rraswW
you with unjust taxation, and whose hordes pf armed merCejaarie? ^re.-no.w..
imprisoning and hunting down your best citizens, insulting ?ind robbiiy the
innocent females, and creating "a reign-of terror" unknown in lue modern
history of enlightened, nations, and unsurpassed by the,. Neroes and jnosj
cruel barbarians of the: dark ages.
We do not mean to. attribute to th-- Northern Insurance Companiea this
state of affairs, or to impute our sutferirigs to their agency, hatuhey belong to
a. section always inimical lo us, and o?r institutions.-pur conqjteruis. tyrants
and oppressors,-ar \: we can see no goodrea?jii why moul; peuple sioull.b?
expected to p->ss by and ignore a noble Southern'.enterprise, reared ?upid the
smoling ruins of our falb-n country, established by the hard eariied'saving^
of our luiried people, and daily dispensing to the. destiuite'-widows and ot-.
