For the card, in another column, an nouncing ?he 'fall opening of this School, ire beg the special attention of the public. On Sunday night last Capt. F. A. Belanger accidentally upset and broke a Kerosene Lamp in his bed room, in the Byan Hotel. The flam es instantly flashed over tho room and soon caught the mus quito bar and bedding, and had it not been for -, his i presence of mind, and prompt and persistent personal exertions in subduing tho flames, a very extensive conflagration would have been the re-? j snit. Capt. B., we regret to announce, had his hands burned very severely, and also slightly on his legs and feet, but this morning, although still confined to his bed, he ia thought to be improving, and hts friends entertain the hope that he will soon be np again. jtSr- Ch ea thain, Landrum db Co. are selling their Bagging at 17* cts.

In "slavery times"-or "before free dom come"-we used to make negroes work our roads and keep them in good order. And if they didn't, we whipped them-not " like thunder," as the Yan kees w iUld have the world believe, but quite reasonably and inmoderation. And now that those days (shall we say pleas ant ?) are gone, and the County Commis sioners of the new regime do not trouble their heads about the roads,, the greatest refuge of the farmer is the " LOWUEY WAGON," manufactured by J. H. Low rey, of Augusta. And no new man either is Mr. Lowrey. Long years have proved that if he cannot make a good wagon, then the art is lost. His card in another column will be interesting reading to all persons who use or need a Wagon. Weekly Religious Service. We are requested to announce that the Rev.

The Medical Department of the Uni? vcrsity of Georgia, The old and popoiar Medical College of Georgia, at Augusta, so honored une patronized by Edgefield from time im memorial, bas lately received an acces sion of dignity by being singled out ant chosen as the Medical Department of thc University of Georgia, located, as' is well known, at Athens. Cordially do we en dorse the following paragraph from the Chronicle ? Sentinel. And at the same |i me we call the attention of our peopU generally to the announcement in an other column, of the opening of the For ty Second Session of this Institution. THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OK GEORGIA. -The forty-second session of the above institution will commence on the first Monday in next Nov?rn ber. >. The splendid reputation of the College ia not only known to our own omni uni ty, bqt to? the whole country. With a Faculty ?omposed of physicians of tho highest standing, it has sent forth year after year ita graduates to battle with disease and to render aid to the sick and the suffering. In almost every town and city in the South her Alumni may be found as practitioners and teachers A grea*. evidence of the worth of this insti tution, if there wore nothing else to attest ita excellence, is the fact that it.hus been adopted sa the Medical Department of the University of Georgia, the Trustees of | the latter thus acknowledging the claims of the oldest Medical College of the State, and one among the first of the South.

Markeri, now traveling in Europe, was at latest accounts, sojourning a week or ten days at Baden-Baden, the greatest and grandest of all European watering places-or rather bath lng places. He h as written us a long, friendly, chatty letter from this celebrated resort ; a letter, how ever, not intended for the public eye. With the natural beauty and artistic mag nificence of Baden-Baden, where assem ble tho wealthy, the noble, the distin guished, of all lands,, our friend 'seems to be very much delighted. He has also traveled lately in Switzerland, visiting the famous lakes and mountains of the land of William Tell. Mr. Markeri, we think, will reach home about the 1st of October. The Association is still the engrossing topic %p thought, conversation, and prepa ration. Friday next will be the begin ning day. If we mistake not, all things are in readiness. From all wo hear, there will be a very large attendance. Dr. Dixon, of Augusta, Dr. Williams of. Greenville, Mr. Mendenhall, of Colum bia, and other eminent clergymen, have been invited. And it gives rta infinite pleasure to announce that the Rev. Luther Gwaltney will be among us on this occa sion-the guest of Mr. G. L. Penn. As regards the entertaining of.Mr. Gwalt ney, however, Edgelield always resolves herself into one family, with outstretch ed arms, and a single heart On account of the Baptist Association, there will be no service in the Episcopal Church on Sunday next. Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Wright and Mr. and Mrs. John Hollingsworth are again at home, after a long sojourn at the now celebrated Porter Springs, of North Georgia.

Strom, Chairman County Commissioners. MB. EDITOR,-Allow me again to say a few words to Mr. H. Strom, Chairman County Commissioners, through tile Advertiser* lam sorry !thet ,'l am com pelled by necessity to notice his conduct in public print But it is a duty that I owe myself, and the public in general, Especially of Edgefield County. Now for my complaint I "don't ?e the manner of letting, mit Bridges. Ton advertise that on a certain day you will reeeive and accept the. lowest bid. It is not right lt does not give a.fidr chance to those who would like to build them. Be sides itgivesa too wide range for rascality, j I don't believe that there is any good at tached to it. There is a secrecy attached to the plan that should be openly and defiantly looked into by the taxpayer, and positive refusal to pay any such tax. The Bridge you let out near Mrs. Kemp's, onCuffy Town Creek, for sixteen hun dred- dollars, has Bince hee* relefc for eight hundred and fifty dollars. The .first party makes seven hundred and fifty dollars clear profit. I suppose, however, that litter profit and the new Gin House he built out of the Bridgo On Stevens' Creek, fuily com pensates him for not ^getting pay on said Bridge. This case is only one of many that convinces me .of the impropriety of letting out Bridges under the present system. There is another feature in it I dislike very much. It is a species of gambling indirectly. For Instance, there may be several bids made on a certain Bridge, and just before the time expires, one of the bidders may call on you to know how his chance is, and if he finds out that his chance is not good, he then puts in another bid. I would like the plan much better if you -would advertise-that on a certain day (givingthe specifications of course) the contract for building the Bridge would be let out at the foot of the 'said Bridge to the lowest bidder. That would give satisfaction to all parties. It would look like old times again. But the old time rule and law has grown obsolete, and obnoxious to the present mixed generation. The new regime is ?not satisfied unless they can fill th^ir pockets with plunder, and that too from the pockets of the poor and impoverished tax-payer. You many argue that you are going according to law in this mat ter. If so, I contend , that it is a mean law. 'Ihope the next Legislature will change the law especially on this point, and give the public a fair chance. My next complaint is on the road question. There is an unfair dealing in this case also. While you aro very strict in some sections you are very lenient in others. The Townships near by you, are looked after, while the others go neg lected. I know of several Townships that.are scarcely noticed by you at all. Ouedu particular viz: "Cooper's " I am bold to assert that in that Township, there bas not been a general repair of public roads since the war. And now the good people of that Township are complaining and murmuring at your derelictions. And well may they com plain, they .have good cause. -If the ter ritory of Edgefield. County is too large for you, and you cannot attend to it as yon should, then why not employ others co help you ? You get good pay for you r sorviecs,-yea, for poor service as it no.w runs. I say good pay. Yes enough to toke all your time, your mind and. your calent, in this great and important work. Work for the public faithfully or quit the held, and tell the people that thc task is tot) laborious for your mind and constitution. That would seem manly, and highly complimentary. But I be lieve you can carry out tho law in full, if you will but half way try. I will wait a short 'while to see what course you will pursue I would like very much if you will have the law on Bridges and Public Highways published in the Edgcfiehl Advertiser. I know that the Edi'.or will take pleasure in doing it, if you will but ask him. Your overseers will thank you, and so will the bridge builders. It is highly necessary for the public mind Lo be posted on these subjects. Before I close, I will say to you that if I have made any mistakes or misrep resented any points, I am ready to apolo gize, or stand corrected. If. is for your good,' and the good of the public that I write to you thia communication. Lest T weary your- patience I must closo at least for the present. Perhaps I may say more on the subject hereafter. Your obedient but unwilling TAXPAYER. MA um ED, at Richmond, Va., on the 3rd September, at tho residence of the brides' father, by Rev. C. C. Bitting, D. D., Rev. W. A. PEARSON, of S. C., and and Miss MARY C. BASS, of Richmond, Va. OBITUARY. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord" This estimable Christian lady,. Mrs ELIZABETH J. JOHNSTON, died at Elko, S. C. Railroad, on the L?4th of May, after a long and painful affliction, which she bore without a murmur, in the forty first year of her age. Sister Johnston was indeed a live Christian, and, as Mary of old, in early life, had attained the one thing needful. She was a native ol' Edgefield, S- C , and first united with the Dry Creek Baptist church ; but on removing, with her hus band, to Barnwell, S. C., she became a member of the Rosemary church, where she remained a zealous and useful ser vant of Jesus until God, in the wise dis pensations ol' His providence, saw fit to removo her from earth to that better country beyond the skies. Few lives were so crowned with goodness, and so cluutered with fruits ol' true Christian piety, as our dear Sister Johnston's. It may in truth be said, for her to live was Christ, and to die was gain. In thc death of this noble woman, the commu nity has lost a valuable citizen ; her church has lost a bright light;,.and her dear companion and children have lost the great centre and beauty of homo; for as a wife, none were more kind and affectionate, and as a mother, she was true to her trust. Bot let us not weep or complain at this stroke, for God Almigh ty doeth all things well, and she has only left us to live in heaven, and to enjoy that sweet rost that remains .for the peo ple of God. Oh ! let us, with Christian resignation, look to Jesus and say, All thimrs n ork together for good, <fec. The humble writer of this obituarv must say that in all his visits to the sick and dying, he never witnessed a more per fect and complete triumph of faith. Even at the portals of death she calmly said, I am ready to go with Christ. Mrs. John ston leaves, both in Barnwell and Edge fiold, alarge circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss-and among them an aced father, a husband, and seven chil dren. Ohl 'tis sad; but.cast your care on Jesus. He will comfort and sustain yon in this sore trial. "'Tis sad to part with those we love In, tliis dark vale of teari ; Yet hope inspires the Chi Man's heart That we shall meet above, . , i Where'sin and Borrows have no home. And troubles shall ne'er invade Where Jesus sits upon his throne, And saints, in glory live." S. BAHNWELL, S. C., May 29, I?73. DIED, in EdgeOeld County, at his resi dence, on the --'1st "August 1878, Mr, JOHN C. HAMILTON, In the 60th year of bis age. In the death of this good old neighbor Edgefiold oOunty has been deprived of one of the old.ian dm arks .which m^de tho neighborhood of Turkey Creek so ?onorecTarid respected. He wai a good tclthsen, a kind and. Indulgent father, a loving and an affectionate husband, .ind the aoje aim or his life was to live up to the Golden Rule, "Do unto" others as you would haVo them do unto,you " He was a consistent member of''Stevena' Creek Baptist Church for ? riumher of years, and died, AM fie had lived, in the blissful hope of an immortality bevond the grave. Peace to his ash as, andover blessed be his memory. W, ft, J, CLISBY & LYNCH, Ed g ofield, S. C., Druggists ; ? Apothecaries, . ' * /. . \ . - ' ?? -, . . .. . . ; .
