North, South. East and West, the great cause of tem parante is making steady prog tees-iii t?ir form of prohibi tion iu ?Mu?Staha?.hiKhilconseinsorae, and local opiion in others. And weare glad to say thaUhe.-?piScopal Church of America is ??^tinj ih?good fight with uplifted arm.^ add dauntless crest. The Triennial Convention of the said Church is now in session in Philadelphia; and the mother church in England is repre sented by the Lord Bishop of Rochester. or.eof the most distinguished prelates of all Great Britain. In answering the address of .welcome tendered him by tho Conveoilofc; tho Bishop of Rochester conclndetPin these significant woxds: M Wo may have as many free churches as "sre please, we may open as many free libraries as we please, but as long as the demon pr intemperance haunts onr bomes/?rim-ches v?u be useless, ser mons will be useless, "and the efforts of laymen useless. At St. Louis recentlv he heard some of the best speaaing he had ever heard in his life. A man got np at that meeting stating that all tho ravages of Aro. civil war, ?fcc , were pot equal totbevovil caused by intemperance, "Ii voil wan?to earn the eternal grati tude oMrue masses von will use your en ergies and prayers ia thia battle-?gain?t iutempe*anc?. What he desired and hoped to see was a thorouchly organized avstem of temperauce. If the Episcopal Church of America will throw herself iuto the strife the blessing of God will be with her. In conclusion, he said that the deputies hail his best and most pro found wishns for the success of the Epis copal Church. May God aid them, he said, in an unwearied and indefatigable effort to evangelize the masses.'' In tho meantime the temperance or ganizations aro gathering all they^ can into their respective tolds. A few years ago a numberof genth menof New York City, deslrbrrsof promoting temperance, conceived the idea of what might be called graded pledges, to suit the differ ent classes with whom they might come in contact. Their plan met with success from the start, and in a little while thou sands of pereons, embracing all classes of people, were enrolled on then- books. And now the Womau's Christian Tem perauce Union, of Greenville, in our own State, have adopted the same idea in the following series^ of pledges, which they are nov.- circulating for signers among the people of that city and vicinity : Pledge, No. 1.-I herein solemnly promise to abstain from the use of ail intoxication ikpwrs a? a beverage. Pledge, No. 2.-I herein pledge my word of honor .th?t I will not drink al coholic beverage? in any public place, or social gathering, where my example would induce others to drink. Pledge, i?o, 3.-I herein pledgo my word of honor that I will not use wine or any alcoholic beverage on'my table. Anti-treat Pledge, No. 4-1 herein promise on nay word of honor not to in vite others to drink, nor to drink with others on their invitation, nor to pay for such drinks at any public place or club. Membership Pledge, No. 3-1 herein solemnly promise, God helping me, to abstaini?ir^all distilled, fermented and mait liquors, mending wiue and cider, and to employ all proper means to dis courage the use of, and traffic in the same While all of these pledges are good, as our brave and able cotemporary, tho Charlotte Journal-Observer well says the fourth is worthy of special attention,' for if generally adopted it would put an end to the habit of treating so common In tbifvcojantry, and from which so much confirmed dissipation has followed. It would practically put an end to the bar room. There are thousands of young ?~ESn rn nearly every ci|y of America to day who drink liquor more or less to excess who took their first drink of li quor as a treat. Aside from its baneful results it is a senseless custom, which has found favor in no country but this we m?rn tho custom of promiscuous treating, standing up at a bar, hastily swallowing some fiery liquid, and within a few minutes repeating, not because the drinkers waut it, but because each wishes to reciprocate tho courtesy ex tended by the other, simply because he dreads being considered penurious in failing to treat after having accepted an invitation: to drink. Many a man has gone into a bar room sober to take one drink and staggered out drunk with a doze^under his shirt The successful propagation of this pledgo will do more effective work for the cause of temper ance than prohibition, local option and all the other pledges combined. -_-, . -. Rake I? the Poll Tax Closely and Conscientiously. - We call the attei.tion'of our Treasurer and our people to the following portion of an Act entitled "An Act to raise sup plies and make appropriations for the fiscal year commencing November 1st, 1SS2," : "SECTION 1. (Extract), a * . ? Should any person fail or refuse tp pay said poll tax, ne shall be guilty of a misdemean or, and, on conviction thereof before any Trial !ustice or other Court having ju risdiction of the same, sh:.Jl be punished by a fine, which shall not exceed $10, to gether with the costs of said suit; or by imprisonment in the County jail for u period not exceeding thirty days." The poll tax-is a very important par! of the school fund, and it is of the ut most moment that lt should be closely and conscientiously collected. We hope that it will be collected without difficul ty, and without any penalty attaching At the same time, if there should be i large list of delinquents, the purposes tr which the polL? are, applied aro cr toe great impm tance to permit of any fail ure to enforce the law. There are ovei seven thousand voters in Edgefield coun ty; "and since tho registration law ha; been in operation a great many partiel who have heretofore escaped notice hav< been placed on the list. Consequent^ no one who has voted need hope that hi will be permitted to exercise the fran ehise, and at the same time throw on otb er people all the burden of taxation. Mayor Courtney in Edgefield. Mayor Courtney, of Charleston, whos wise, noble and patriotic administratif of the municipal affairs of the ancier city, entitles him to be considered proudly repr?sentative son of the Pa! metto State, spent a day and night i Edgefield last week, as the guest of Mn Pickensa* Edgewood. Indeed Mr. Cour! noy, who ia Treasurer of the Mt. Vorno fund, came to Edgefield for the expr?s purpose bf conferring with Mrs. Piel ens, as Vice-Regent for South Carolini in regard to the future status of Sout Carolina's room at Mt. Vernon-the ol dining room of George Washington. M: Courtney's large heart is no less in th] patriotic-historical work than that of th noble and devoted Vice-Regent, wh< like a lofty chatelaine of the feudal age so earnestly strives to keep bright n< only the history but tho tone aud chi\ airy of preuder days. When Mayo Courtney, of Charleston, holds up tl hands of the widow of Francis W.Picl en* in this high ci.nse, we may well coi sider South Carolina as already rang? side bv side with tho very proudest i the ancient home of the Father of H Country." _ Subscribe to the ADVEBTISEB.

I8S3. STATE OK ROUTH PAROLINA, ] EDEPIELD COUNTY, I To the Hon. A. l\ Aldrich, Presiding Judge for the October Tenn of Court, 1S83. We the Grand Jurors of Edgefield County beg permission to make the fol lowing Report: That we have again inspected the Pub lic Offices and the Public Buildings of our County. We found the Court House? iu good condition, except some repairs needed in the Jury rooms and in the Judge's retiring room. The Jail is a model of cleanliness and neatness ; and in excellent repair, with the exception of the windows which need many panes of glass. We found no bedding on hand, and would recommend that the County Commissioners purchase a supply at one \ We have looked into the School Com missioner's Books, and found thom very well kept, and quite accurate in so far as we had leisure to.verify his calcula tions by investigating quite a number of pages taken at random. We found also that duplicates of Pay Certificates issued to Teachers correspond with the records in said Books. We found the SherifPs Office in good order. The following moneys were found in his olfice : Edward Lynch vs. M. H. Eich elberger, 8759. IS J. M. Sullivan et al. vs. W. M. Thomas et al. $1150 55 At the Poor House we found thirteen inmates-six whites and Reven colored The recommendations made at the June Term are being carried out. The prem ises are in good order-clean and neat. Among said inmates, we found a female child about ten years cid. We recom mend that this girl be sent to the State Orphan Asylum, as we do not think a County Poor House a proper place for children of this age. We find the Office of the Judge of Pro bate, as heretofore, in good order, and no irregularities. We find the Clerk's Office in excellent condition. The following moneys are on band here: O. F. Cheatham, Ad'or., Plaintiff, VS. Wm. Retalie. Th: To ain't received from sale of De fendant's land, Sept. 18, 1883, $70.27 Cr.

From the Office of County Treasurer and of County Auditor, there is no im portant information in addition to what has already b?en laid before the public. Our Auditor's labors for 18.83 will be complete some day this week. We have examined the records of the County Commissioners and approved of them with this exception : Tn their min nies, we find a contract for lumber and building a bridge on a road which is not a public highway. It has been failed to the attention of this Grand Jury that certain roads in the western part of the coumy have not been worked in three years There are certain bridges on thet^ Cum ??rilli;?. roj?*l nenr Edgoflel^Prmrt Hou.se, wherv? several accidents have ra ce 'tly happened. Over cuts and branches we recommend that lumber iustead of poles be used. We again call the Com missioners' attention to our previous recommendation that a Book ol* Record be kept in their Office for complaints as to roads and bridges. The County Commissioners have fur nished the mileage of public roads in the County, except Wise and Blocker Townships. Total number of miles 81?, number of bridges, 39, and one ferr}*. Our people have been trying, for hun dreds of years, to destroy the shady woods overspreading the landscapes, and now they benin to wonder why the dry weather prevails more and moro each succeeding ten years. By transplanting some millions of trees where forests and rains had heretofore been unknown, the Egyptians have succeeded in bringing down upon their thirsty fields frequent and refreshing showers. Let every stream in our State be lined with trees, and then the neighboring vales and hills, by reason of regular rains, will yield exuberant crops aa in the days of yore. We recommend that a stringent law bo passed for the protection and increase of our timber. The Iraffic in seed cotton, from the knowledge of this Grand Jury, being of such extent and injurious to the interest and morals of our community, that wo would respectfully suggest that, a law being now of force, allowing local Coun ty option restricting tho sale of spiritu ous liquors, we request the members to the Legislature from this county, to use their best efforts to enact a local option law allowing this county to vote up r making the selling of seed cotton a fel ony, and the buyer an accessory alter th< fact. We recommend that the Bond in tin caso of Thomas E. Deas be forfeited ant the money be ordered placed in tb< hands of the County Treasurer, Dea: not having appeared at the two terms o the. Court. A true bill having been found by thi: Grand Jury, the Prosecutor having set tied tho case on the payment of 5>15.00 the costs having been taxed before thi: Grand Jury, amount to $7.80. The re mainder being left in the h'?nds of tin Prosecutor and still in his hands. I this within the Statutes, and if so, wha disposition should be made with the re mainder? We respectfully request hi Honor, the Judge, to inform us wbethe or not after a true bill has been found cases can be settled by consent and th Prosecutor receive any money othei than the actual cost in the case. Custor seems to have sanctioned it, but it i liable to abuse. To the Pn-siding Judge, as well as th Solicitor and the other officers of th Court, we desire to express our appro' ation for courtesies and uniform kind ness. Respectfully submitted, EDGAR L.
