January 1, 1873. - Death of Col. Sam. J. Watson. This gentleman, who has so long filled sn honorable place among Edgefield's best citizens, departed this life on Satur day night last, after only two days illness -stricken down by Congestive Chills. Col. "Watson was ? man of strong poin te of character-bitter, towards enemies, but nobly fi;-m in his friendships. A Birave Comrade Gone. ' Hundreds of his edd friends, in all pax?f?f ttl oou?try\Siw?? be saddened to hear of the death of "Ben Jones," wnoJa^Le^^wrbefore the war: and i a the war, and since the war, as a comrade of bested bravest type. Mr. Jones died at Ninety-Six, where he was in th a mercantile business, on Friday the 3rd inst., of menlngetis-aged about thirty five years. Farther Time to Pay Taxes. This morning, Wednesday, 15th inst, Auditor McDcvitt hands us a communi catiott$qpjm Comptroller-General H?ge, dated Columbia, January 14th, instruct ing hinrnot to assess the 20 per cent penalty which attaches to all delinquents on tho 15th, but to instruct the County Treasurer to receive the simple tax until further notice from the Comptroller's office. This the Comptroller does in an ticipation that the General Assembly will pass-an Act giving him discretion to extend the time for collecting taxes. Such sn Act, we- understand, will be consummated to-day. A Difficulty in the Dry Creek Section. On Saturday last, a serious difficulty occurred in the 'Dry Creek section, be tween^L. P. Rutland, Esq., of the one part, ?bic? Mes i ira. & E. Smith and Jas. Lagrone, of tb 3 other; but as accounts thereof are quite conflicting, we state the matter very briefly. Mr. Rutland and son, it would ?iceni, went to the house of Mr. Smith to recover certain property in which they claim an interest ; and a per sonal rencbhtren?nsoing7 In which both parties fired, Smith wafTtwice shot re~ ceivfoga wound' in the breast and one in the thigh, which wounds it is feared .W?Lprove fetal. An Item or Two of the Aiken Court. Major W. T. Gary, of our bar, has just returned from the Aiken Court, and gives us an item or two. The cases of the State against Howard, for the killing of Harris, at G rangeville, and against Tom Williams (colored), of Beech Island, for murder, were continued until next term. All murder cases emanating from Lexington were also continued thus. Among lawyers present from other parts, were, Hutson <!t Aldrich, Of Barnwell; Fort, of Lexington ; Yoamans, of Co lumbia. "Judge Maher, of Barnwell, of course presided. R. O. Aldrich, Esq. acted as Solicitor. Local Items. As to the shopping ladies, they aro drawn out by the beautiful weather. Yesterday and to-day (Tuesday) have been imperial days as regards sunshine and warmth-a perfect boon after the disgraceful winter we have had. And the fine weather has also set the farmers and pulmo agents in active mo tion. The guano agents are all armed with glass jars of samples-odoriferous and suggestive of wealth. Some quite young farmers we have conversed with lately, are fearfully pregnant with large crops. They utterly ignore "thirty" and "sixty," declaring they are fully determined to bring forth? " an hu ndred fold." The Rev. Mr. Thomas, the new Metho dist pastor, preached his first sermon before a large 'jongrogation on Sunday last He is evidently a gentleman of ability, cultivation and address Tho impression produced by him was au ex ceedingly favorable one. His next ap pointment here will bc on the fourth Sunday In tba aternoon. As we write, cur stalwart friend, Dr. Hill, dashes across the square, on his perpetual round, in a beautiful new Kulkey ; end a half dozen gentlemen stop him to inspect the novel vehicle. They pronounce it superb. It was manufac tured by Seal/rook and Smith, of Kew Haven. This Smith is a brother of our Capt. Fred. bur former townsman, W. J. Ready, Esq., jiow living in greener pastures, has *r * i among ns lately, talking mighti ly alX,At tho joint stock School-House building Company of Johnston's Depot. He told us all about it. And big things are to bo built at Johnston's before long. " And speaking of school h?uaes reminds us to say that Miss Gibbes* School is now permanently located in the upper rooms of thc Episcopal parsonage. The Rev. Mr. Broaddns continues to go to Mt Talx>r on the second Sunday of each month. The young people of our town-and the old ones too as for tliat-ought to have a Literary Society, or a Musical Society, ora Dramatic Club, ora Dancing Club, or something of thc sort. Our lives are drearily prosaic and material istic ~ _ And just aa we pen the last words of the above . paragtaph, another vehicle dashes across the square, laying Dr. Hill and his sti?key qa.ita In the shade. It is anice, rte, green l?odied wagon, drawn by twoftavitrcioulos, and'loaded with pretty young girl? andhvoly boys-4 of each persuasion. The girls are very bright an4j?Ppfty -suggestive of peach blossoms, and violots, and Will Penn's Bouquet Cologne, and all those sorts of delightful, spring-like things. Wonder where they are going. Haven't the slightest idea. They are all as happy as Love's Young Dream. This species of dream, however, Ls not always happy, we believe. Perl, ap? some of our green wagon friends ex.ri throw light on the subject. _ . , . . -, The Male Academy is a nest for bats and ovtSB. Think o f it, ye who remember Staflord, Fielding, Mcclintock! What aie oar people going to do with their sonst Education and aesthetic culture neem to be held i n contempt by thc parents of the present-day-that is, *n these re gion* I tVe speak tho literal truth, and from long practical experience, when we say that if onr people pay a few paltry dollars to a teacher, they think their whole duty" done, "So supervision ol the child at home. No stern requiring that such and such duties of study and [application shall be performed. No spurring on to ambition? No inculca, ting of a love for learning, literature, science, the beautiful in nature and art. In Edge?eld, neither teachers nor schol ars, are answerable for the habits of idle ness and ignorance which now prevail so. alarmingly. It is tho parents-chary of money, chary of pains, and satisfied to eat and sleep, without caring one cent whether their ? children learn anything or not-their consciences eased, as we have said above, by paying a few paltry dollars to a teacher. Thc So. Ca. Druggists In Augusta? Their names are Huckabee & Wood. And their beautiful Establishment is san dwiched in between the great dry goods emporiums of Jas. A. Gray <fc Co. and Christopher Gray <fc Co. Their norn ber is 200 Broad Street A brilliant block that has become in Augusta. For wher ever the Grays, Huckabees <fc Woods locate, there you may be sure the'world congregates-the world of trade and the world of fashion. For thenew card of Huckabee & Wood, in another column, we bog special atten tion. These two gentlemen were among the truest, best and bravest of South Carolina's sons in the late war ; and no doubt it will afford many former com rades a pleasure to drop in upon them, and renew, if but for a moment, old as socations. Have Our Farmers Read .Johnston and Boussingault f .Johnston and Boussingault are the great writers of the day upon Agricultu ral Chemistry ; and if our farmers should read them, they would go immediately and buy untold quantities of the Soluble Paei?o Guano- sold by J. 0. Mathewson, of Augusta. Johnston, Boussingault and Mathewson have long run together ; and if our farmers and planters are wise, they wiU also run with them. Andas a preparatory step to this wealth-bring ing process, just read the card of Mr. Mathewson, in another column. ? The Queen of Commercial Manures." So says Mr. J. H. Cheatham, in anoth er column, of the famous Excellema Guano. And as long as we continue to believe that raising cotton is the chief I object of human effort and ambition, let us be careful to use the means that will wind up in success and wealth. Such a means is undoubtedly the Excellema. Masonic Elections. At the last regular communication of | Saluda Lodge, A F.

The January number of this Magazine comes ito hand as usual. It opens with some very practical hints from the Edi tor, under the head, "Thoughts and Suggestions for the month." This is fol lowed by an article from the indefatiga ble pen of Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, entitled, "A practical Essay on Plantation Econo my," for which a premium was awarded at the late Fair of the South Carolina State Agricultural and Mechanical Asso ciation. No planter in the South is bet ter posted on this subject, and this essay will be found worthy of a careful peru sal. " Hillside" on " Labor Contracts," deserves to be read, and farmers and and planters might do well to look more carefully into this department. Prof. E. W. Hilgard, of the University of Mis sissippi, gives> an article on Guano and other Ammoniacal Manures on White Lands. In the Horticultural Depart ment, Mr. Edmund H. Hart gives a very excellent article on Guava and its culti vation. In the Mining and the Mechani cal Department there is a well written article from the peu of Dr. W. W. Mem minger, entitled, the "'Manufacture of Commercial Fertilizers." Prof. C. U. Shepard, Jr., gives in applied Chemistry and Mineralogy, some notes on Foreign Phosphate Deposits. The Correspond ence is unusually varied and interesting. Published by WALKER, EVANS <fc COGS WELL, Charleston, S. C. 82. ^ESr* The chickens are roosting higher than usual.-Columbia Evening Herald.

It is well understood by thousands who have used PHOENIX GUANO in its pure and original condition for many years, that it Ss in that ?tate a FIRST CLASS FERTILI ZER. Now, it is as certain as anything can.be, that nothing is required to be added to the PHOENIX to increase its value, except Ammonia, and it is equally certain that decomposed cotton seed, will furnish, the ammonia at a far less cost than any other known substance, as the planflr has tho seed on hand, and.it is worth very little except for manuring purposes, $' 1 1 ? ? \ 1 j? * I would, therefore, recommend, in the strongest terms, the use of this combina tion or compost. Its preparation will cost the planter but a trifle, and he will have a manure ot the greatest value ali very small cost. It was extensively used the last season and is pronounced as being superior to all other fortilizors by. those who used it. It can be easily, simply and chenply prepared as follows : Wet the seed thoroughly with water. When it is well soaked (after wetting the seed it will bo best to let it remain in bulk several days before mixing) mix well together ten bushels-pi the seed and one bag (200 pounds) guano. Mix in this pro portion until the required quantity is prepared, transferring the successive mix tures to apilo or heap, under covar, to remain until required for use,-tho longor it romaiiiH in bulk before using the botter, but it is not necessary that it should re main in bulk any-length of time, in fact some planters RAVE APPLIED IT AT ONCE AFTER MIXINO with great success.
