SHEPPARD, OF EDGEFIELD. For Secretary of State, JAMES N. LIPSCOMB, OF NEWBERRY. For Attorney-General, C. R. MILES, OF CHARLESTON. For Comptroller-General, W. E. STONEY, OF BERKELEY. * For State Treasurer, JOHN T. RICHARDSON, OF SUMTER. For Stale Superintendent of Education. REY. ELLISON CAPERS, OF GREENVILLE For Adjutant and inspector General, A. M. MANIGAULT, OF GEORGETOWN. Next to tae'Saivation of the Im mortal Soul is Education--The Training of the Mind* And with this conviction strong upon us, let us all attend the Educa tional Meeting in our Court House on Monday night nest, resolved to do anything and everything in our power to at once secure a first class and permanent school in Edge field. A graded school, upon a sure footing, is what we need, and what we can have-without our people have sunk to the level of the bru te that perisheth. The call for this Educational Meet ing may be found in another column. It comes from our Board of Trustees, and is signed- by their Chairman, John L. Addison, Esq., a man deep ly interested in the cause, and one who is willing to spend and be spent in the effort to secure for the chil dren of Edgefield better, higher and more permanent educational advan tages. On either side of us-in Ab beville and in Graniteyille-there is a large and permanent graded school, au infinite blessing to each place, and an infinite honor to the men who inaugurated and sustain them. And at this meeting in our midst on next Monday night, the plan, aim? and workings of these Schools will be set forth. Teachers of great worth and expe rience have been invited to speak on this occasion, and we earnestly hope our whole population will be out to evince their interest in the great cause. The ladies are especially in vited, and certainly they will be will ing to join heart and hand in the great undertaking. An educational mass meeting is of vital import to every class of society and not secondary to a Sunday School or religious celebration: Education PX0<(^the cultivation . of hotfl heai i and" mm?fis either twin B^M ~T beautiful handmaid of religiorffWf in our chaotic political condition, if we retrograde in the former, we nec essarily turn backward in all social purity and religious progress. The establishment of high schools is the paramount duty of our people and the individual or community founding one, adequate to our wants, creates an ever-springing fountain ol good that will '"ow through every channel of life for many future years. Let this first meeting be so large, so enthusiastic, so practical, so lib eral, as to at once secure the early establishment in Edgefield of a first class graded school. Our Congressional Convention. The Congressional Nominating Convention of the Second District will take place in Aiken on Friday, the 8th of September. And we hope that not one of Edgefield's twelve delegates will be missing. Edgefield Salutes Colonel Joseph Uayneswortb Earle of Sumter. The Sumter Watchman says : Sumter County was honored last week at the State Convention by hav ing one of her sons so highly thought of by the leading men of the State as to urge his consent to allow them to place his name before the Conven tion as a candidate for the position ol Attorney-General, but Col. Earle em phatically refused to consent to any such proposition as he himself es poueed the claims of another for the position, whose nomination he second ed in a most forcible and eloquent manner. The gentleman whose claims Col. Earle so eloquently and stead fastly espoused, was our beloved com patriot, Col. John R. Abney. And for this act of appreciative and knight ly generosity-no less than for a gen eral career of high honor and bril liant promise-Edgefield salutes the coming man of the Game Cock County. \ Colored Man Preparing for Him self Vanity and Vexation of Spirit. We copy the following from the Newberry Nt ws and have no doubt every word of it is true. Paris haB been in letj.-ernent since 187G, but ihe late success of Smalls and the hope that the next House of Repre sentatives will be Republican have probably called bim to the front again. Paris love? money t^ven better than he does poli ical distinction; .and a .Republican contestant now-a-days seems always to get money even if he does not get the place. But we venture the prediction that, in this case, instead of money and honor, Paris will rear vanity and Vexation of spirit. " Paris Simkinp, a prominent col ored Repub icau, was on a visit here a few days ago. He is a clerk in the Charleston post office, but says that he will be a candidate for Congress in the second District. He further says that the Republicans will not op] the State ticket, but will have ca dates in all the Congressional tricts.*' -? - Status of tbe Har io Eg)pt.

A Strong Plea for Working the rubik Roads by Contract. Messrs. Editors: I wi.ih to write you something about roads. Every body complains, and especially the men who are running for County Commissioner. The farmer, when going to market with oats and cotton, complains; and again wheu hauling guano and white bacon in the spring, that he has bought on credit, at a ruinous interest-he does more than complain. He actually curses. First the roads, then himself and every body in creation. And I guess even you, with your (esthetic nature, curse these "horrid" mud holes and rocky hillsides a hundred times before you come to them, and the picnic or cue you are attending loses half its at tractions in anticipation of the ride home. I think the proper plan is to work the roads by contract. I have t dked to a large number of citizens and every man is in favor of the contract system. And the negroes are entirely willing to pay their por tion of the tax. I think it would be well for some of our members elect to the Legislature to make this new departure, i. e., working roads by ' contract, an object of special legisla tion. It would certainly be a most useful and popular law. In our sis ter State of Georgia, in Richmond County, the public roads are worked by contract, and consequently it is a pleasure to drive over the smooth, hard roads, kept from one year's end to another in a perfect condition. And to say. nothing of the com fort and convenience of having a good road, the system is a cheap one; and when you take into consideration the wear and tear on buggies and wagons, the impossibility of putting a full load on a wagon, the length ol time consumed in goiug to and from market-over these execrable toads, the injury done a man's temper and soul, it surely behooves us to look around for a remedy. Very few men are ever ready to pay tolls or work the roads. It is always at an incon venient or busy time tor them ; they : will not do any more than they can help when they are called out; they . say they will "patch" the worst places now, and work it good at some , more convenient time. And that : convenient time is always coming. ? Under the present law and system, . no County Commissioner can have ; the roads properly worked, no mat ter how many assertions he may t make to the contrary during the , canvass. And though his friends r and constituents may hope for better things under a new ruler, it will be ; as it has always been heretofore. . Our great expectations will surely i end in disappointment. If good s roads be a sign of progress, of en ! lightened civilization, we are assur i edly in the dark ages. I give you only a few crude thoughts, hoping you and other able men will .agitate L tho jabj??t, frrWuciag^ncTr id^fcand plans. Xf any good can be nocom plished, he will certainly be a public benefactor who brings it about. "Help me Cassius, or I sink"-not, in the Tiber, but in some of the mud holes of the Martin town road! Youl s truly, H. H. T. Fur the Advertiser. A Blue Striped View of the 8?? natioB. MESSRS EDITOBS : The fiue?t oat crop eiuce I was a little girl ! And alas ! that has been sixty odd years_ Fruit in abundance-let na give thanks to a merciful God !-and now the finest prospect for corn and cot ton since Columbus tailed over the ocean blue in 140_ ! And the most luxuriant crop of candidates-shall we thank God or not?-ever known in any nation ! And speaking of the candidates, there is the greatest stir among them (hat I have ever seen in my sixty-five years. You actually can't go to mill without eeeir-g some of theta striking into by-paths and devious ways. I nm sure I have ee^n a thousand dill':rent ones, though my "old mun" pays it's only the sime ones pull, d down or puffed up by circumstances, as the case may be. Well, the gathering time is ne;u\ and I am fearful, as the nights are so cool, thivt but few of them will have time to mature by the last day of Au gust. But there is comfort for those who do not ripen: they will be in the majority; and that is Democratic. Your meandering man of the old ADVERTISER ha* made a slight, mis take about the location nf Richland Spring, but as he had lent, out his Built sud was cold, it will be over looked. It is a mighty hard matter for a man to stick strictly to facts with his shirt on; but with one's shirt off-oh Lord ! I daresn't contemplate the situation. A(t(-r all, men is no bler than women, for we never lends away our shirt off of our backs. And as for the young man that had on the editor's shirt, w.i thought he look ed the coldest of the two. But they say he is a ripening fast. Well, I waa invited to the united barbecue down af Ward's pond not long ago; and such a time I never saw ! Five thousand people, and oT dead sheep, and 9 large dead beeves, and all the Irish potatoes and on'ons and tomatoes within ten miles around, and .SO thousand of the finest kind of pies and sweet cakes that was ever made by womanly skill I And still none people could not wait till the dinner waa ready. And consequent ly many genteel people that, would not scramble, got nolhitg. But 1 was not like my good friend down at old Untie Bud's; I had my shirt on -though among ourselves we don't call it "fchirt"-and I felt game. At Warda pond the difficulty was not a scarcity of provieiona, but a want of what we Democrats call "organiza troD." An awful fact, though, ist some mighty hungry man-Ik no was a man-eat up tny buggy brella and swallowed the staff. f\ the consequence is that, since t time, I have got very wet, and ne ed the services of a man that is w ing to lend his shirt. Well, my old man and my boys discusses nightly which can dates is a ripening the fastest. A] strange to say, they seem to be ;i ious to vote for those whom t consider quite mellow. But I, be a woman, ai nt of that stripe. I lieve in sticking to one's friend matter if he is a grass green c. blin. I find that men is prone to ijun after ripe things. I hope your editor will come I to Richland Spring very soon ffg?in. With or without a shirt we are ?al ways glad to see him. BLUE STRIPE Mine Creek, August 20th 18S2. P. S. I have a little weazeny, o ieh grandchild that aska me-ai8er hearing one of our nightly discus sions about the candidates-if so^6 of them ain't likely to be "rot ripe." B S For the Advertiser.
