"TheHeroes of Methodism" This is the title of the historical ad dress delivered by the Rev. S. Leard during the late Conference In Charleston. It is pronounced uni versaMy to be a-very fine paper. The New Johnston Preacher Rev. Mr. Rodgers preached in the Methodist Church last Sunday to a crowd ed and a delighted congregation. The '.first impressions" of his Johnston con gregation are exceedingly favorable. Monitor, State Grange The next meeting of the State Grange will be held in Charleston on the 3d day of February next, and it is very desira ble that as many 01 our sub-Granges should be represented in that meeting as possible. They are not entitled to repre sentation unless they are clear on the books of the Secretary, and hence it is urged that all sub-Granges make their report by the 15th of ?his month and pay up all past dues to the 31st December last, so as to entitle them to a seat and a voto In the State Grange. Fit For a King. As regards the hot supper of the Meth odist ladies on Thursday evening the 22d, in its purely gastronomic aspect, ef course it will be a feast fit for a king.

The military hop of the Edgefield Rifles in Masonic Hall, on Tuesday eve ning next, gives ?very promise of being a &ay? brilliant and refined entertain ment. The Ride boys aro mot only brave, gallant and hospitable, but they are also tasteful and genteel. Capt. Tompkins is now in Augusta, securing a band and other indispensable adjuncts for the bright evening ; and tho ladies who at tend, will no doubt be as much delight ed as on the occasion of the last hop of the Rifles, which, it will be remembered, was an unsurpassable success. On Tues day morning, along our Main Street, a Tilt will take place botween the Edge field Rangers, Capt. Butler, and the Edge field Hussars, Capt. Markeri. Our town will be alive with chivalry and with beauty, and we trust the day will be so happy a one as to be marked with a whit*? stone. Full Dress Drill. We are requested to announce to tho mombersof the Edgefield Rifles that a full dress drill will be hold in tho armo ry to-night-Wednesday. The Convict Reports. This week we publish the rev dting details of the bad treatment of Peniten tiary convicts as contained in the reports of Superintendent Lipscomb and Sur geon Trefcevant. These outrages were committed in Edgefield County, but not by Edgefield people. Indeed it can vet g easily be proved that not a single citizen o? Edgefield had anything whatever lo do with this great crime. The inhabitants of the section where those outrages wero committed, are among our purest and beet, our most enlightened and most re ligious, oor most quiet and best educa ted. Terrible wrong has beeu clearly done, but the citizens of Edgefield are profoundly free of all complicity. Starling Turner, Esq.

A Queenly Costume It is odd to make a local ?tom of Mrs. Hayes' costume, but perhaps our ladies would overlook it if put in another place : Mrs. Hayes's attire at the New Year reception at the White House may b* matter of interest to female readers. Her dress was of white brocaded satin wrought with gold threads.* The Vshaped front ' of the waist was lilied in with lace, and her sleeves were of duchesse lace with embroidery of seed pearls. The court train of satin was long t.nd square ; rose buds were worked upon it with threads of gold. The plain white satin petticoat was trimmed with bias folds of satin di vided by a fringe of gold and pearls. Broad bands ofgold embroidery separa ted the petticoat from tho court train. In her dark hair she wore a silver comb, and on lier neck a pendant-a cameo head of the President set in diamonds. Masonic Elections. At a regular communication of Wat son Lodge, No. 131, A. F.

My bark is launched on life's bright tide, And light and buoyant, loves to ride The billows of a happy fate Which seems with joy to undulate. Sweet Pleasure, with a laughing air Gaily assays the craft to steer, While Hope, with scarce more sober brow, Sits as Pilot on the prow. Happiness our port must be, For somewhoro on this smiling sea, Is situate that Haven fair, Though chart, nor compass tells me where. lu My Forties. My years have^donbled since I wrote, And yet my bark is still afloat, More steadily she rides the wave, lier crew and pilot are more grave. Pleasure, oh ! the fickle jade Has left her post, and soinewherestrayed, And Hope, less forward pilot now, No longer sits upon the prow. And Happiness, that haven fair Which we have sought for man}' a year, Our Pilot thinks, may after all Not be on life's rough soa at all. For the Advertiser. Happy and Auspicious Nuptials. On tho night of the 30th Dec, 1879, the residence of the Hon. M. A. Rountree, of Barnwell Co., S. C., was lit up with brilliancy in anticipation of the marriage of Miss Lucy BOWF.RS to Dr. P. H. EVE. The fair bride is the only daughter of Mrs. Clara Bowers. The groom is tho second son of Dr.Hidward Eve, of Rich mond Co., Ga., but for the last seven years has been a practicing physician of Boeeh Island. A host of relatives and friends wero present to wdtness the cere mony. The attendants were : Edward Eve, of Richmond ce., Ga, with Miss Annie Wilson, of Augusta. Jos.

Landrum, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Augusta, Go. Aller tho marriage, a mag nificent repast was served, which was perfectly regal in its menu. The young couple were tho i >eipients of many presents from their numerous host of relativos and friends, as tokens of their esteem Dr. Eve will take his bride to Booch Island, whore they are to live. RONALD. For tho Advertiser LET US BOUND POR WA KD INTO Ll HITLESS PROSPER I I T. M ESSES. EDITORS : in the commence mont of a New Year let us recast our horoscope, and see, if we can, what is the present and future prospect of South Car olina. In the recent past, South Carolina has been as mach a sealed book to outsi ders as the Empire of China or the Islands of Japan, Our statesmen seem to have been content with getting position with out making arty great eff >rt to let the world know, especially capitalistsand hon est industrious immigrants, the boundless hidden treasures that lie beneath our Car olina siol. But in our anomalous condi tion under the rule of the 0 iths and Vandals that robbed onr greater and bet ter than Italian domain, no great advance could he mad.) to develop th? rich re3ourccg that providence has given uJ with a lav ish bend. The mountains that .skirt our Northern border contain vast quantities of iron ore; the upper tier of counties, stretching from the Savannah on tho west to the great Pei D un th? eu?., are rich in gold bearing quartz, which will amply pay capital, labor and energy to bring it to the surface; while in th* counties stretching along our coast, we have land, marsh and river, that aro now producing tho best phosphate rock known to the commercial world. Most of the counties of the Slate will produce rye. barley( wheat, oats, and some of the cultivated gras3e9 as well as anv of the Western or Northern States, in addition lo the great staples of corn, cotton, rice, and, I may add, sugar. In short, wc have a Bilubiiou8 climate, an Italian sky, anda rich noil that will yield the products of the tropics as well as thoso of a colder clime. Lumber is abundant, and water power is ready in every county of the State, waiting the advent of capital and labor to make it Babservientjto the wealth-making energies of man. With these factors for gteatness, wealth and intelligence, what is to keep South Carolina from bounding forward into limitless prosperity ? It seems to me, we should bury Methu selah-he is dead !-and crowd into the next decade all the centuries of that illus trious personage in one great effort to co erce greatness, from the hand of Nature that bids us be great.

From a recent paper we learn that this order is now only six years old, but from an humble beginning has made remarka ble progress. It has now in tho country 1,901 lodges with 60,000 active members. Within the six years of its existence the order has distributed and paid in benefits from its widows' and orphans' fund $2,061, 930.61, and its average annual distribution and payments amount to $100,000.- Th-i Knights of Honor is a ?rand, organized, systematic charity, with its members chief ly from the middle classe* of society. It is abo of great advantage by elevating ?fi* members socially and morally, and is most beneficial in its relief of snifcringJaufL. prevention of poverty, and is therefore a benefit lo the whole community even out side of its own organization. Its stability and soundness have been thoroughly test ed, the pledges of its members can be're lied on, as has been amply ] roved. The Knights of Honor's system is much more economical and reliable than the establish ed systems of life insurance, Tho Knights paid in the yellow fever season of 1S78, $500,000 in benefits without difficulty..

For many years he has been accumulating this lilrctry until it numbers nearly 1200 volumes Many of the books are rare, and there is one of the number thal cost over a hundred dollars. The learned classical scholar, Dr. Toy, said this was the finest classical library he had ever seen in the possession of a private individual, tnd he had seen many in Eu rope and America.
