Terms, 93,00 per Annum.
Be Prepared to Settle.
We have secured tho services of Mr.
ELIJAH KEKSE, well known to the peo
ple of Edge?eld as a thoroughly reliable
and courteous gentleman, as Canvassing
Agent and Collector forlhe Advertiser ;
and commend him to the kind attention
of our patrons. We hope those indebted
to tia will be prepared to settle when our
collector calls on them.
The Dedication at Spaun's.
We are authorized to announce that the
dedication of the new Spann's Church
will take place on Sunday next, the 2nd
day of November.
? ~
Local Items.
Weather still bright, lair and mild.
Cotton picking and cotton ginning still
the order of the day. Ginning brisker
than picking! A gentleman who arriv
ed in our town a day or two ago, from
Sumter County, tells us that all along
his route, from beginning to end, the
fields were literally white with unpicked
cotton-so much so as to be worthy of
comment.
- The Right Rev. Bishop Howe, of the
Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, ar
rived in Edge field on Friday evening
last, on his annual visitation to Trinity
parish; and on Saturday and Sunday
last, very interesting services and ser
mons were heard in Trinity Church.
The Bishop was accompanied by the
Rev. Mr. Edgerton, of St. Thaddeus'
Church, Aiken, a young divine of deci
ded ability, and great prominence among
the clergy of our State. During his so
journ in Edgefield, Bishop Howe bap
ti zed one adult, one infant, and confirm
ed- six persons. He-quitted our commu
nity on Tuesday afternoon, for a visit to
the new and flourishing Episcopal con
gregation of Ridge Spring, whose beau
tiful Church will soon be ready for con
secration.
The session of-the Storm Branch Asso
ciation (colored Baptist) at Pleasant
Grove, tb?reo miles from us, on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday last, was attended
by numbers, which, apparently, arith
metic would fail to compute. If we are
net mistaken it was a very, decorous
meeting. The next session is to meet at
" Dead River" on the Port Royal Rail
road.
Tie Sabre Club drilled actively on Sat
urday last, and will do so again on next
Saturday. On the Saturday following,
will take place the last drill before their
departure for Columbia ? On this day
all the pretty girls are coming to bright
en the scene ; also the Johnston's Brass
Band. And Maybin Griffin will give a
Barbecue-and there will be dancing
and all that.
The Sons of Temperance flourish at
Johnston's, and the average Johnston's
man now takes his lemonade without
..a fly in it" as heretofore-and yet they
are not happy. They look "blue" and
chilly like, these cold mornings.
Who did not know Alfred Blocker, the
jug-factory man, who for the last twenty
years has been driving up to our doors
and putting out jugs, jars, pots and
crocks? An honest anda pleasant fel
low was Alfred, black (andso black!)
though he was. And now he is dear I and
gone. And tho veteran one-legged Dave
Drake is left alone with his glory and
his jugs.
The mont accomplished house servant
|n Edgefield County, and thc most niag
^jdcent. biass cleaner in tho world, is
Ben. Hatcher (colored). Who'sayVnot ?
Times are dull and hard. Trade in
our town, except on Saturday's is buta
sickly phantom. The colored people,
who will undoubtedly part with money
when they have it, buy a Tittle on Satur
days. We notice that Smith, Jones Si
Co. by hook or by crook, (we suppose it
is thus-or is it by plentiful tolls?) man
age to pay off their hands every Satur
day.
Our daily mail now-a-days is ready
for distribution about IC o'clock A. M.
Mr. Willis Odom, of the Meeting Street
country, sends us some magnificent Yam
Potatoes- 2. 3. and 4. pounders-which
leave the Barrs, and Hatchers, and
Marshes, and all the sand-country men,
quite in the shade. Wewould'nt be sur
prised to see big watermelons come from
Meeting Street next sommer.
Next week, or the week after, we
should, by rights, have Court ; but as
usual we shat! have none. No juries are
being drawn-no preparations made.
Indeed, if we mistake not, we have at
present no Jury Commissioner. Bar
ker's time has oxpired, on account
of which expiration the people are much
delighted, but his successor has not been
appointed. This sort of higgledy pig
gledy, rascally business, however, is
nothing new anionic the Radicals.

W. G. KERNAGHAN ?fe CO.-Our old
friends, tho Kernaghan Brothers, whose
name, like those of their kinsman, Ham

in the palmy days of old Hamburg, send

Corpus Christi, Texas ; and Bainbridge,

Bainbridge, in the extreme Southwest
ern County of Georgia, the terminus of
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, is being
verv seriously aconrged by the pestilence.

There ls little doubt, however, that the

Another Gleam of Railroad Hope..
We hear from an undoubtedly reliable
source that President Bridges, of the
Wilmington <fc Augusta Railroad, and of
the Charlotte, Columbia* Augusta Rail
road, has said unreservedly that if the
town of Edgefield, and the country in
terested, will give him Thirty Thousand
Dollars, he will build a Railroad from
Edgefield to some point on the C. C. & A
K R., East of the Pine House; and that
he will not only build it, but equip it
and set it in operation. This offer is sim
ply magnificent, for of course President
Bridges would have to add another $30,
000-or even more. What may be the
motives of President Bridges in making
this strikingly liberal offer-or rather
expressing his willingness to make it-it
matters not for ns to enquire. The road
he.would thus build would undoubtedly
be our salvation, and that is en?ugh for
us to know. ' Our duty to ourselves first;
in this sort of aflfai r, at all events.
As to our people not giving him the
proposed ?30,000, we scoff at the idea.
Ofcourse they will do so promptly and
gladly. If they will not, then a high
wall should be built around them, sepa
rating them from the world of progress
and enlightenment, and civilized people
alma id come and gaze sneeringly at them
while they die in poverty, ignorance,
palsy and dry-rot !
But in the full assurance that there
will be no difficulty about the $3?,000,
we now call upon the Committee ap
pointed at our last Railroad meeting, for
the purpose of applying to the Legisla
ture for a charter for a Railroad from
Edgefield Court House to some point on
the C. C. ?fe A. R. R., to be up and doing.
Not a day should be lost The Legisla
ture is now in session ; and the sooner
the application is made, the better. Un
der any circumstances-promise or no
promise, prospect or no prospect-this
charter should be secured.
The Effects ot the Panic on the Work
ing- Classes.
NEW YOKK, October 26.
The effect of the late financial troubles
are beginning to be felt among the work
ing classes in many trades. A large num
ber of operatives were discharged at thc
close of the week for the want of em
ployment or for the want of funds to pay
them. Three manufactories closed on
Saturday night indefinitely. The em
ployees in one establishment were offered
work at reduced wages, but the men re
fused to work for wages below those es
tablished by the Crispin Society, am:
were consequently discharged. Nearly
every trade is affected similarly. Th'
c gar makers have been informed that
their wages will be reduced to the rate*
of last year. .
The Panforth Locomotive Works ir
Paterson, N. J , employing five hundred
hands, will soon stop. Strong's Silk
Works are now running on half time.
A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., says that
the managers of the Cambria Iron Works
at Johnstown have given notice to thc
workmen of a suspension of payment ol
wages until such timo as money can bf
collected. The company will guarantee
to emploj'ees all necessary supplies to
the extent of their earnings.
COHOES, N Y., October 25.
The Harmony Cotton Mill, the larges!
of its kind in the world, will close to
night indefinitely. It is probable that
the woolen manufacturers will soon fol
low this example. The closing of the
Harmony Mill is not owing to financial
difficulty oranythiug else connected with
the money stringency. It is merely in
fulfillment of the annual custom.
NEWBTJRG, N. Y., October 25.
Owing to the stringency, the Newburg
Steam Mill luis ??topped. Four hundred
hands are out of employment.
???~uS. Washington special says that
Attorney-General Williams received on
the C5th, a letter from Montgomery, Ala
bama, saying that in consequence ot
heavy rains and the destruction of tin
cotton crops bj' the army worm, great
destitution exists in several counties, es
pecially in Sumpter and Marengo. In
somo places there is actual starvation,
and unless help is rendered during the
Winter months many persons must per
ish for want of food.
?gr- The Anderson Intelligencer says :
"The relatives of JohnGilstrap, (a mem
ber of one of tho South Carolina regi
ments, who was killed at the battle of |
Fair Oaks or Seven Pines,) can obtain
valuable information by corresponding
with Rev. Nathan B. Durell, Box 255,
Norristown, Montgomery county, Pa.,
or with J. S. M. Smith, Timmonsville,
S. C. If we remember correctly, the de
ceased hailed from Pickens county, and
was a member of tho Fourth Regiment,
S. C.' Volunteers.
jE?rTho Presidential expenses and
salary now cost the country the round
sum of $127,000- expenses $77,600, salary
$50,000. A question now under consid
eration by the people runs thus : Does
the country get an equitable return from
this outlay.
jsB~ Mrs- Judy Golf, an old lady of
sixty-two years, living near Millcdge
ville, with her husband, upon some laud
owned by Thomas Harris, was shot in
a terrible maimer by thu latter, who had
quarreled with them about some work.
Mrs Gofl' was riddled with shot while
stunting in her front door, and her re
covery is doubtful. Harris, who is about
70 years old, is in jail.
f.,9-" The arrival of Prince Bismarck at
Vienna, where Emperor William is now
tho guest of Emperor Francis Joseph,
has already given birth to all sorts of J
rumors. The rumors may be well or ill
founded, but it is certain that Bismarck
is still tho mau on whose shoulders the
imperial German edifice rests. He built
it. ne still supports lt. Germany is
not fairly ou her leys, and without Bis
marek it is difficult to see how she would
get a'ong.

THE GRAND Fox HUNT CHALLENGER.
-Messrs. Suit, Marshall and Cross, of
Prince George County, Md., who recent
ly issued a challenge for a grand fox
hunt, to which Mr. R. G. Sneed, of
townsville, N. C., responded on the 30th

The above we are constantly do
Sing, and hereby pledge ourselves to
continue to do for our patrons. The
~m query is : " How can we AFFORD to
JG doit?" To explain, we would say,
~ it is easy to. make a present when it
j, costs nothing We simply save to
*4 those who purchase through oui
""^rriarss the agent's profit, which
every one knows must bo large. Agents
nust make large profits to pay them for
.anvassing tho country to make their
sales. Music establishments must make
arge profits to cover the expenses of
their business and make a living out of
it, to say nothing of making a fortune in
the trade as many do. We have neither
of these contingencies to provide for.
We give th6 benefit of the larger part
of the discount (that is the agent's profits)
to our patrons, thus saving to them the
monev named as a gift.
We deliver instruments FUI:io UT FREE,
lirectly from manufactories, and can
therefore sell as well North as South.

-DEALERS IN
DRY GOODS !
JjARGE discounts and variations of terms for CASH payments are ruling
in the Northern markets, and a? we always buy our Goods for Cash exclu
sively, and have a member of our firm residing in New York,. we have
taken due advantage of the great panic. Our stock of assorted Dry Goods
is now very extensive, and purchased at a price that will allow us to
SELL CHEAPER THAN WE EVER DID BEFORE,
We have now on hand DRESS GOODS in every style and quality.
White and Red FLANNELS, both plain and twilled.
Opera FLANNELS, in all shades and colors.
Cotton FLANNELS and LINSEYS.
CASSIMERES, some very fine, and a full Une of medium and low-priced.
Kentucky JEANS, in every quality, and a few very fine Doeskin JEANS.
SHAWLS, in every quality and price.
Brown, Gray and White BLANKETS, from the cheapest to the heaviest
and finest, and many other desirable goods peculiarly adapted to the com
ing season.
At the time we purchased these goods the best paper was selling at from
25 to 40 per cent, discount, and our payment for them in CASH enabled us
to avail ourselves of them at a time when the Northern merchants reduced
the prices on their merchandize to more than the above rele? rel discounts.
Merchants, planters, and the public generally, will find it to their advan
tage to carefully examine our stock, and profit of this excellent opportunity.
During the exigencies of the period now upon us, we will taite Cotton,
at its full market value, for all accounts and notes due us.
