liegt. S. C. V., will hold a reunion at Mt
Willing on the second Saturday in Sep- j(
Lamber-the 9th day of the mont ti. This 'f
Company was commanded hy Capt. A. P.
West; and its Lieutenants, if we mistake
not, were Jame!) Boat wright, John Bell
and Robert. Watson. These are good
names: and the names of the privates are
equally good. The survivors are scattered

Townships. All survivors ate requested j <
to be accompanied by their families. And
.ni! families are requested to carry picnic
baskets Further particulars concerning

Sea Inland aud Jerney India.
Mr. Motte Parker, who farms-and i
very skillfully-between Tren lou and
Harmony, brings us pome curious looking
green cotton hollis. They are long and
conical, and look like scaly-bark hickory
nuts. Some are of the Sea Island Cotton
and some of the Jersey India. He gol
the seed at the Atlanta exposition, from
the cotton growing on the grounds, and
is experimenting carefully. He promises
to let us hear more on this subject.
The Citadel Academy.
See notice in another col mint of the
opening of the Citadel Academy. No
better place could be selected for giving
your sons a capital education, and a tho
rough training, mentally, morally and
physically for the great battle in life.
We hope Edgefield will be represented in
this excellent institution.

Holmes is again on the road. And when
he pays you a visit in the interest of the
great and reliable establishment he rep
resents, we hope thal you will have dis
cernment enough to >-ee at a glance that
of all men in the woild he is the man to
fill your bill fot all goods in his line.
Asparagus.
Our people aie coming slowly bul j
surely to diversified Plops and the ?mallei j
agricultural industries. When we were j
ou a visit I" our friend. John T. Nichol
son, Esq., f-n the Ridge, a few days hark,
we found lum making arrangements to
plant a half acre in A spa i nuns, lor the
Richmond and Northern markets. In
our low count iv, fortunes are being rap
idly! made by raising trish potatoes, cab
bages, and asparagus for the northern
markets. Bul especially is asparagus al
ways in demand, and at paying prices.
We asked our friend if it would not take
some fifty million roofs to set ont a half
acre; and he astonished anil amused us
greatly by drawing Borckmans' Catalogue
upon ns, in which we read (hut asp
shoots-intended for market beds
be".set out. at intervals of 4 fee
way. Who would have dreamed ol
a thing?
Another Picnic at the Pavilion.
We hear something of another pi?
the Hussar Pavilion-on Wednes
next week. This time, however, :
lie rather given to the Hussars tl
them. If we understand aright, i
'je a social neighborhood affair.

A Brave and Faithful ?H?lster.
We did not hear tho Rev. Mr. Whit
niiin's discourse r?n Sunday morning bis!
And we regrel deeply that we dui not.
From al! we have heard of it, however,
it mti'si have been the bravest, best, faith
fullest admonition heard in Edgefield in
tinny year.?. ,It waa in regard to people1
home duties to their children, home watch
ing, and home training, and home teach
ing, and home praying. Mr. Whitman
was right. And we Know of no commu
nity that needs such an admonition anil
exhortation more than Edgefield. Foi
sometime past, particularly during the
last year, children in IClgefield, of both
sexes, between len and sixteen years ol
age, have been allowed liberties and li
censes, and have indulged in dissipation?
thal can but result in a generation of ven
corrupt men and women. We honor Mr
Whitman for lifting up his voice am1
hands so faithfully: and we can asstnr.
him, for his comfort, and support, that in,
more than one household that WM know of j
his brave and earnest words have had a j
startling and salutary effect.
A Vigorous Administration.
We arc delighted to see that our newl
Intendant, Capt. C. h. B. iMarsh, isgiv-1
ing indications of a vigorous and con-H
scientioas municipal administration. Capjy
Marsh filled this plane a few years bar
and it is but. justice to him to say that. we.
have not seen his like since. He has the
head for the place, and an industry that
shirks no personal hardship. Already he
has i?,0?9 feet of i um Lf-r delivered, for the,
improvement of our very wretched ?ide
walks; and we know that lie has plans ol]
retrenchment and economy that, if earn
ed out, will redound alike io ids honor
anil the welfare of our town.

County is aroused and thoroughly in
earnest. The Democratic primary
canvass is uow in progresa and pub
lic meetings are ol almost daily oc
currence. The supply of candidates
is tully equal to any demand and the
speakers are doing their best to make
the people see the supreme import
ance ol electing them to office. Ves
terday there was a splendid mass
meeting at Ward's station, on the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad. Af least ~,500 people
present, and the greatest, enthusiasm
prevailed. The Clintonward Ran

force, aud large numbers of beauti
ful women lidded their delightful

For the Advertiser,
Sod Manuring.
E'lycjiehl Advertiser: Yeara ago
the Geuesee Valley, the finest, wheat
section of New Yoik, began to fail io
wheat even though fertilized by all
formulas. Tue temedy was found in
sod manuring. Clover was planted,
a sod jgrowu, super phosphate used,
and wheat grown ag.ui.'. Thewiiter
has experienced the same thing here,
using sod manure for cultou and the
cereals. It is mo?e profitable where
land is cheap, labor and fertilizers
being high. Mr. Wm. Walton, ol
Meeting Street, S. C., told the wiiter
ot his success in sod manuring, which
is wonderiul. Paradoxical as it may
appear, Mr. Walton is meeting with
more success by raising grass and
weeda to make crops than others are
by destroying grass and weeds to
reach the same end. II ? is inverting
the pyramid.
Space forbid" entering into details.
Air. Walton would obligingly give
liiein to any one asking.
The writer, by invitation,called on
Mr. Walton to see his farm, but the
latter was unfortunately absent.
Looking over into a near field, we
saw c lion as high a? a ten rail lem e,
cud in one spot equal to a praiiie
slough. All thiH ou a farm which
was HO unproductive before Mr. Wal
ton's time as lo drive away any oc
cupant.
Think of cotton like that grown
in a prarie slough in old Kdgedeld!
Mr. Walton spends money lor fer
tilizers which the praiiie man dues
io'; bul Mr. Walton's expenditure is
imply an insurance that he guts h:s
very year, while the prain-* mun
;etfl his one in thre?. is ir not muir*

The country between Edgt-fieM
md Mr. Waltona ia generally u
gently undulating coutirry, open to
"use three horse plows, ten foot har
rows, and other ne?.- machines. When
fthcse are liberally uaed in that, eec

effected. FARMER.

The Sunday School Picnic ai Sam!
Ridge.
\ -
? (Coper and Gray Endorse the
Ticket anti (lie mun rm.
Messrs. Editora: With uo little
I gratification I intended the Sunday
I School picnic at ?Saud Ridge yestei*
?clay. Everything waa well uud
^tastefully arranged. Seals were
placed under the shade of the tall
and beautiful oaks for the accommo
dation ol* the congregation, and the
stand for the speakers was partially
covered with a tent cloth, and was
cost beautilully decorated with
evergreens. The little Sunday School
girls and boys occupied the front
seats, and it was delight!Til to see
v/ith what joy they entered into the
exercises.
Brother John Taylor, the faithful
and efficient Superintendent, pre
sided over the meetiDg with rare
ability. Graceful, dignified and skill
ul, he has but few equals ami no
uperior. Mis Sunday School, whose
verage attendance is fifty, is one ol
he most nourishing iu our noble
ouuty. Both teachers aud Bcholars
are ardently attached to him, a..i do
not intend to let him give up the
Superintendency, if they can preven)
it.
Any thoughtful person who knows
the character of the Sand-P?dge com
munity, would naturally expect that
they would have a nourishing Sun
day School in their midst. Having
been acquainted with them from my
boyhood days. I can say truthfully
thnt they are an industrious, in
telhgent, hospitable and deeply pious
people. Sand-Ridge is not a church,
but a achoo! house, where Bro. Tay
lor holds his Sunday School two Sun
days in the month, and where J
preach every fourth Sabb.ith at 11
o'clock. This community treat ail
persons well. The rich and the poor,
the iute-lligeut and the ignorant, per
sons occupying very high position!:
and those in very humble circutn
stances, if they conduct themselves
rightly, alike snare their hospitality.
Quit" a large crowd of people
fron. ions part? of the county
were in attendance. Among flits
were a great many candidates. The
first speaker introduced was the Hon.
W._ J. Talbert, a man true to his
y, and a very zealous Sunda)
worker. His address was
nd forcible, containing miny
le aimonitious. Dr. W. H.
Siman was next introduced,
