On Monday last, the customary memo rial ceremonies, in part, were performed in our village cemetery. There was no address, and no ostentation, but the Edge field Rifles, assisted by the ladies of the community generally, visited the graves of the Confederate dead and adorned them with flowers. The men who fill these flower-decked graves died for their country, and thereby entitled them, selves to everlasting remembrance and eternal honor. And great will be tho shame if this annual tl oral tribute is neglected while even one survives of the generation that saw these heroes give up home and go cheerfully to death. Let this bountiful and appropriate custom live far on through everlasting ages ! The Most Beautiful The two graves most beautifully dec orated on Monday last, were those of two ol the finest fellows that ever breathed the breath of mortal life-or died to il. lustrate tme nobility-Linet. Lamar Wardlaw and Lieut. Edmund Penn. The first was lavishly and artistically adorn ed with magnificent flowers of all kinds and colors, while the latter was almost covered beneath crosses and circlets of the purest white roses, without even a Heck of coloring. A Noble Feature. The Augusta Evening News of Monday last had a very large and well executed engraving of the new Confederate monu ment in Columbus, Ga., which must be very handsome. We enjoyed both pic ture and sketch very much. " No truth is lost JFor Tr bi eh the true are weeping, 'Nov dead for which-they died.*' A Dead and Darling Child On Sunday afternoon next-though we know not exactly at what point-the Rev. Mr. Leard will go up into the old Block er section to preach a funeral sermon in memorj' of little Emmie Chiles, the dead and darling grandchild of Dr. and Mrs. John Lake. Dr- Bland. As regards Dr. Bland'? condition, we can only say that it is not worse than it was a week ago, when we last wrote con cerning him, but, sad to say, it is no bet ter. He lives from day to day in very much the same state, and always with high fever. This morning his spirits are better tlian for two days past We had . earnestly hoped and prayed that we might, this week, be able to say some thing more cheering in regard to his case, but what we now chr nicle we have just received from a member of his family. Census Enumerators. Next week probably we shall be able to announce the Census Enumerators throughout our County. We would be .obliged to persons thus appointed, if they would notify us of the fact. Lost Their Names. On Monday afternoon-the day of the County Convention-two gentlemen sub paper to bo sent to them at Dorri's Mill. We took down their names on the mar gin or a newspaper, which newspaper, in the excitement of the day, we lost. Nor have we been able to recall the names. We hope these gentlemen will write and instruct us anew; and pardon UR for our seeming indifference. The Escaped Negroes No news yet of Watson and Brooks, the two negros who lately escaped from our jail. Treasurer and Auditor Announcements of candidates for Treasurer are Auditor and now in order. We hear of several aspirants for these offices before the primaries. Mr. Glover. Mr. Glover is now doing well, though it is said that his recovery will bo very slow and that he will be confined to his house for several months. On Thurs day of last week, Dr. DeSanssure Ford, of Augusta, came to see him and probed a large abscess which had formed in the region of the wound. Upon this being done, he was immediately relieved, and lias been getting along well up to this time. He-elected Mrs. .Tolin E. Bacon has been unani mously re-elected President of the Co lumbia Memorial Association. Xershaw's Brigade At the reunion of Kershaw'? Brigade in Columbia, during the Fair week of next November, Gov. M. L. Bonham, the first commander of the brigade, is to deliver the address. Unconstitutional. On our first page will be found an an nouncement of Judge Pressley's late de cision that imprisonment for non pay ment of poll tax is unconstitutional. An Edge?eld-Lexington Boy Col. John F. Hobbes, who has been studying law for some time ia thc office of Messrs. Pope & Fair, will apply for admission to the Bar the present term of tho Supreme Coure-Newberry Herald. Ward!s Depot Wo understand Ward's Depot is to be mide a regular station, with side track, ag?nt and all. Several lots have been sold and store-bouses are to -be erected and stocked with goods, and ere long wo may expect another pretty little village dotting the line of the C. C. & A? Rail road.- Monitor. The Seed Cotton Abomination. It will be remembered that on the last Saturday in this month-the 20th-the Centre Springs Farmers' Clnb will hold their meeting for tho discussion of ways and means to suppress the infamous traf fic in seed cotton. And it will be re membered also that we last week an nounced the appointment of delegates from Meriwether Township to attend said meeting. In the meantime we have been asked to request other Townships or Clubs to do the same thing. There is still plenty of time; and certainly the matter is one of paramount importance to our farmers and planters. Fan and Parasol To have a finely painted fan and para sol is to be just now both (esthetic and fashionable. A Neglected Question. The question of tho repeal or continu ance of the two-thirds rule by which the Democratic party has been governed in National Conventions should have been grappled with and decided by our late County Convention. To us it seems that the changing of the two-thirds rule which has carried us safely through so many Presidential elections in which the Democratic party has been successful, would be inadvisable at this juncture, when it is so important, in view of tho momentous struggle before us, to keep down every question which might agi tate and disturb the harmony of the par ty. This consideration alone, outside of the real merits of the ease, which we do not propose here to discuss, should cause us to let w*ll enough alone. How to Tell Him. Yon can always tell a clerk in a dry goods store from the millionaire proprie tor by the good clothes the (derk wears. Joe Stevens. Joe Stevens, the negro man who will be sentenced to be hanged at our June term of Court, has not yet been brought back from Columbia. He will be, how ever, before the assembling of the Court. Genuine Religion. An exchange says: "If a man's re ligion compels him to pay his debts, you may be sure his religion is genuine." If this is fact we know of some who have no more religion than a cocoa-nut. Interesting- to Farmers Now that the revenue officers are mak ing their raids throughout the country, it might be well for our farmers to be a little cautious how they handle tobacco on their plantations. It is a weil known fact that many farmers buy tobacco and let it out to the hands on the place with out for once intending to evade the reve nue laws. The revenue officers, howev er, charge that a farmer who sells tobac co in this way is liable to arrest for sell ing tobacco without a licsnso. They claim that every farmer who buys tobac co from the merchants and sells it to his tenants for any purpose whatsoever is liable to indictment. The Census. We would suggest to every one to be ready for the census enumerator when he comes around in June. Bear in mind that this has nothing to do with the as sessment of property for the purpose of taxation. Go to work now and get as near as possible to the actual amount and value of products of last year. This will include everything raised on the farm, as well as all farm animals. The names and ages of the family will be required. It will facilitate matters very much if these facts are all prepared beforehand. If you have neighbors, white or colored, who do not* read. the. jjapers. and, ivho may be ignorant of tho purport of a cen sus, explain it to them, so they may be prepared to answer without reserve. Immortalized ! The Abbeville Presa d> Banner says that if the editors of tho Edgefield Ad vertiser will get the name of an Edge field juryman who will vote in the jury room to punish the improper use of "concealed weapons," that juryman would be immortalized.

It was important that Gen. Gary's own county should give him support^ and it was but right that Gen. Gary should have the opportunity of setting at rest the reports that have arisen of his intention to run as an Indepen dent.

LEXINGTON, Kv., May ?'>.- The South ern Baptist Convention assembled at th First Baptist Church. Organization was effected by electing the following officers: President! Rev. Dr. Mell, of Georgia ; Vice-Presidents, Governor Brown, of Geor gia, Dr. Winkler. of Alabama, Governor Leslie, of Kentucky, and Dr. Yeaman, of Missouri ; Secretaries, Mr. Dobbs, of Kentucky, and Mr. Gregory, of South Carolina. The attendance is said to be larger than ever before, probably not fewer than six hundred delegates, besides a great num ber of visitors. Devotional exercises, led by Dr. John A. Broaddus, occupied the time while the tellers were counting the ballots. In the afternoon session the an nual report of the board of foreign mis sions was presented by the secretary, Dr. Tupper, and the annual report of the home mission board by Dr. McIntosh. The foreign mission report notices first the death of Dr. Jeter in appropriate terms. It mentions the departure of sev eral missionaries during tne year for sta tions in the heathen lands and in south ern Europe Itgives a full accountofthe work done in China, Alrica, South Amer ica and Italy, showing the stations all to be ina prosperous condition. The sum of $50,000 is represented as obtained and disbursed in this work. The home mission report also is en couraging and hopeful in tone. A prom ising mission has been among the Chinese in California under the auspices of this board, and the work among the Indians 1 has been faithfully prosecuted, as also the work of assisting destitute communities in the older parts ol' the country. Some $.20,0110 has been collected and used, and the indebtedness so long burdening tho board has been liquidated. The various sections of tues? two rep nts wer? referred ^appropriate committees.

J EDITOR REGisTEr. : A great many pa pers throughout the State are advocating the policy of placing a new man in the field, or, in other words, let us have an other candidate outside of Hagood and Gary; it is impossible for either of these gentlemen to unite the Democratic party. The friends of either will doubtless com bine harmoniously for some other availa ble candidate for Governor. If the Dem ocratic party of South Carolina is to be torn asunder by party factions and wrang lings it is a matter of grave importance to the June Convention to consider the fact of nominating a man more accepta ble to the people at large than Hagood or Gary. Considering the facts, then, that we must have a new man, let us bruigforward that distinguished gentleman of South Caroli na in whom every citizen can repose con fidence and whos-: virtue and mod?ration entitles him to the honest vote of every man in the State. Where can we lind a man to imitate more the example of the noble and illustrious ILnipton than the Hon. W. D. Porter, of Charleston? Gentlemen of the Convention, run W 1). Porter for Governor and peace and har mony will soon pervade the Democratic ranks. " A word to the wise is sufficient." A well wisher for the commonwealth, p HARMONY. ; Allendale Falls into Line in the Anti Pistol Column. [News and Courier.] ALLENDALE, MAY ?.-The following - ordinance passed on April IS by our town council entitles Allendale to a place on your roll of honor as an anti-pistol town. Two or three homicides have occurred here owing to pistols and whiskey, but I hope that this law will prevent such dis graceful occurrences in future. J. B. W. AN ORDINANCE to prohibit the carrying of concealed weapons within the cor porale limits of the Town of .Allendale. Beil arda ried by the town council of Allendale, now met and silting in council, and it is hereby ordained by authority of the same : SECTION 1 That on and after the pass age of this ordinance-ihe carrying conceal ed about the person of any pistol, dirk, butcher-knife, sword or spear-cane, metal knuckles or other weapons ol' offence, is hereby prohibited within the corporate li :ts of the town of Allendale, under a penalty of not less than ten dollars fine or ten days' imprisonment for each and ev ery offence, upon conviction thereof; Pro vided, that this ordinance shall not apply to the sheriffs of this State or their depu ties, or to any special or regular constable, or to the town marshal or his duly ap pointed assistants, in the discharge of their respective duties as such. .SEC 2. That it shall be the duty of thc town marshal to report all offenders against this ordinance to the intendant of the said town, who shall forthwith issue his warrant for the arrest of such offender or offenders and have them brought br', fore Council for trial. That upon failure of the town marshal to discharge the du ty herein required of him he shall upon conviction thereof be fined or discharged in the discretion of council. SEC. 3. That upon all convictions under this ordinance, when the line is realized out of the defendant, thc informer shall ba entitled to receive one-half of the same. Done in Council this 13th day of April, A. D. 1880. L. li. O'BRVAN, Intendant of Allendale. P. A. SCOTT, Clerk of Council. Whiskey and i'istols. The work goes on weil, and the indica tions now are that the Legislatare next winter will be forced by public opinion lo regulate whiskey tra flic and pocket min der. In themselves laws will not ::hange the habits of a community. They require the support and countenance of the people or they soon become a dead letter. In the present casi, the legislation cor.cerningp's tols and whiskey will be thc expression of a vigorous public sentiment already exist ing, and ready to crystallize in any form in which it will be effective. Behind the laws will stand the deliberate opinion of the thinking public that intemperance and the hajbit of carrying concealed weapons are the root from which springs wastefulness, profligacy and crime in the State. There is no reason, therefore, to regret the pre vious inaction of the Legislature. Every day the good cause wins new friends and advocates. Some cheering facts have been recordel during the week which ends to-day. To the Roll of Honor are ad'Jed the towns of Beaufort and Allendale which have prohibited, by ordinance, the carry - of concealed weapon?. The Grand Jury of Orang-murg County have fixed the price of liquor licenses out side of the town at twelve hundred dol ?an. This will have the effect of shut ting up the road side and cross-roads grog shops. The people, however, must aid the public officers by reporting promptly any illicit dealings in whiskey. The grand jury has also recommended the passage of a law prohibiting, under severe penalties, the carrying of concealed weapons. One objection advanced is that in traveling through the country, especially at night, it is necessary to carry firearms for pro tection. This is no reason why they should be hidden. A pistol buckled around the waist will have more effect, as a m^ans ol protection, than two in the hip-pocket. It is the concealed weapon, not the displac ed weapon, that maims and slays in quar rels and drunken brawls. The bai rooms in the Town cf Lincaslet were closed last week, and'will remain closed for a year at least, as the Town Council are determined lo enforce Ihe law against all persons who sell any kind of in toxicaling drink. Two of the barkeepers, whose occupation is gone in Lancaster were on their way to Charlotte at lasl accounts. These are gratifying signs of the huh that the Whiskey and Pistols movemen already has in South Carolina. The new? papers have come to the aid of the pulpit and when the women of the State, win feel so deeply, shall speak out and act up on their convictions, the remedial agencie will be both potent and complete.-New and (burier. \ STATE NEWS.

William Rice, a colored convict from Georgetown, attempted to escape from the Penitentiary on Sunday last while outside of the walls unloading w?od boats on the canal. Springing into the ri ver he swam about sixty yards, when he was fired upon by the guards.

Thc last Bickens Sentinel says : We had thc pleasure of a call from Dr. Anderson, j of Dacusvillc last Monday. The Doctor informed us that the stock law was giving general satisfaction in that section, and that if the Radicals and Independents ex pect to make any political capital on that issue, they were mistaken. There was a heavy white-frost in this section on last Saturday morning, the 1st instant, and in some localities thin ice was < formed. No damage, so far as we can learn, has rr-sulted from the frost.

In the Ridgefield County Convention on Monday General Gary swept the field against all opposition, and in spite of the most infamous efforts both inside and out side of the county to malign his good name and destroy his party strength he carried a solid delegation to the Stale Convention. This will be most gratifying intelligence to his friends all over the State, and ever, (hose oflns personal aud political oppo nenls who are moved by a sense of fair play will be glad to know that he has lived down the falsehoods that have been spoken against him Those who have tried to cripple his chances and weaken his hold Upon tho affections of the people and confidence of the party by saying that he would run as an independent can didate for Governor will have to hunt up some new slander.

A correspondent of the Charleston Nervs and Cornier, in an interview with a lead ing member of thc Republican party in Charleston, was informed that Major D. T.

Cochran, ex-Congressman Simeon Corley and others, who represented the brain and i-ourage of the Republican par ly in this State, are intensely disgusted with the composition and conduct of the recent Republican Convention held at Co lumbia. They say that adversity has taught their party nothing. That the same disreputa ble crowd that ruled and disgraced the party in the past is as powerful and as rampant as ever, and if they should again recover power in the State would disgrace the party as heretofore. It has leaked out since the adjournment of the Convention that the most respecta ble members of the old party expected to obtain powerful moral support at least from the North and West in the coming canvass, and hoped, by this means, that they might make some impression on the solid Democracy of South Carolina. They are now so utterly di-gusted that, in their present frame of mind, their friends at the North will bestserve them by letting the THE PRESBYTERIAN- GENERAL ASSEM BLY IN CHARLESTON.-On tbe 10th of this month thc commissioners of the Gen eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church will come to Charleston from ail the States litely known as the Southern Confederacy arid from Maryland.
