Jas. T. Bacon. ThosJ. Adams. EDITORS. E. KEESE, Correspond: ^ Editor. Edgefleld, S. C., Nov. 8, 1883. Death of an Origiual EdgeGeld Mau of Great Distinction. "We allude to the Hon. Armistead Burt, of Abbeville. This noble and distinguish ed gentleman, who was born in our own County, died, suddenly, in his law office in Abbeville, on Tuesday afternoon the 30th October. Mr. Burt removed from Edgefield with his father, w jen quite a young man, to Pendleton He "studied law at that'place, and in 1S2S married Mies Martha Calhoun, a niece of John C. Calhoun, after which he removed tc Abbeville C. H. and commenced tb9 prac - tice of his profession. His marriage was childless, and his wife preceded him to tb? tomb by many years. He was elected tc Congress in 1S11, and continued to repre sent hi3 District untiW852, wb?n heTe signed his seat and resumed the practice of the law. Mr. Burt was a polished gentleman, a profound thinker and'x nat ural diplomat. As has been said, he was the friend of McDuffie, "the protege o Calhoun, and the associate of Wardlaw and Perrin, and G heves, and all.the otEei great le?al lights who shed lustre upor C^.,<U Pollina ;-i Vc* Tv.lrxiact; Aava The death of this prominent and honoree man causes profound regret throughout onr State. Mr. Butt was eighty-on< years of age at the time of his death. A correspondent from Abbeville of the Char leston News and Courier, reconnting tb< circumst inces of his death, closes as fol lows: Mr. Burt was for many years a mem ber of the Episcopal Church. On las! Sunday he partook of the Sacrament ol the Lord's Supper m company with his friend, Mr. Robert H. Wardlaw, who ii the last surviving witness of his marriage. Mr. WarcHaw is a Presbyterian, but there being no service in that church he attend ed the E?iscopal Church, and together he and Mr. Burt went to the altar. Mr. Bart often expressed a dread of a lingering death. He'could not have died under circumstances more in consonance with his wishes than those which sur rounded his last moments. He died lit erally in the han.c?3 Weary of the bar den of his years and his labors he lay , down and peacefully fell asleep. It seem ed to be a grand and fitting end of a noble life. As the cortege that bore his remains to his home took its slow way along the streets the western sky was lit up with . the grandest and most gorgeous sunset I ever saw. It seemed as if the heavens were lighted to honor his coming. It seemed that the skies were illuminated to gaide his pure soul to its eternal resting place in the mansions of the blest. The very firmament did bim honor. ? The Elections To-day. . On to-day, Tuesday Cth, come off the elections in the States we enumerated last week. Next week consequently, we may have a startling tale to tell. Of all these States public attention is mainly turned to New York, Massachusetts and Virginia^ To New York because of itu importance as a factor in presidential elections, and because pf the squabbles among-the Demo cratic factions of New York City. These factions we are glad to say, -are confined to the city- and despite their selfish squaooiss/wi carry the State. In Massachusetts the contest is a very peculiar one in which there is no principle involved, lt is a mer? .personal, eon test between Ben Butler-^Beast-who wanta to be re-elected Governor, and a set ot men who hate him and want to beat him. Old Ben is not a man of lovely character? but undeniably he is a man hard to beat. In Virginia the public eye-and the patrL o'.ic heartof the South.-cen tres on the prob able downfall of Billy Mahone'a coalition. Mahone has the support of the Washing ton administration, the absolute, control of Federal patronage in Virginia, a largf fund raised by contributions and assess ments upon Federal officeholders and em ployees and with these a soul that knows no scruples in politics. He is working his game with mil the ingenuity and ability h< is master of and they are of no mear order, for he knows and feels that upor the result hinges his destiny, and he mus win or perish politically. But never sine? t'ie war have the Democrats been bette organized or made a better campaign, an< never have they , felt more confident o unhorsing the little dictator than: they d( now. If ho be beaten, as we think he will he is shelved, and coalition with Radical and negroes receives its death warrant ii the South. If, next.week, we can announce to ou reader?the triumphs of the Democracy i: New York and Virginia, we shall be satis fied with the political duse of the yea 1983.: i |Q Meettag-pf Directors and Stockholders The annual meeting of the Directors an Stockholders of the Carolina, Cumberlan Gap and Chicago Railroad is to take plac in Aiken on Wednesday of next week. I r";-iinn with the lights before us if Road it can be called-eho?l? "bellaire out of the hands of certain factors ot ? present management. ... Suicide of a Prominent Cbarlestoniat W. D. Clancay, Master in Equity ;< Charleston county, and who was appoint ed by Governor Hampton, committe suicide at his rooms in the Mills Hons on Thursday afternoon the 1st instant, b shooting himself through the head' wit a pistol. Destruction of Cotton In Charleston A fire in the yard of the South Carolin Railroad Company at Charleston on Mon day,-the 29th Oct., destroyed 2,000 bale of cotton awaiting shipment to New York The loss is $400,000, which is covered b; widely scattered insurance. ? Chappell's Depot Consumed by Fire On Wednesday afternoon, the 31st ult, the old and new depots at Chappels, al the cotton therein, a small trestle, a con siderable portion of the track, a few car and a large pile of wood were burned. The Newberry Observer of last week contains the following additional particn lars concerning the barning of Chappell*! Depot: 4?A citizen of Chappell's, who came do wi last night, gave us the following particu lars. Ho says the fire started in the cot ton on the platform, and thinks it origi nated from a lighted cigar. The flame; spread instantly and nothing was savec from the depot except a case of shoes, al though there was a large quantity o mercnandise and other things in there Inaddition to the above-, six to eight hun dred cords of wood belonging to Mr. Wil liam Reid was burned, also a car loaded with freight. The store of Mr. Simmons and of Mr. George T. Reid were saved by great exertions. At one time it was thoughtilnpossible to save them aid both moved out portions of their stocks. Mr. Reid, while on top of his store pouring water over the roof, had his face and hands severely burned. Savannah Hair Burned Up. ^ Oa Wednesday afternoon the 31st. ult, a fire broke out in the war house of Garnett, Stubbs & Co., Savannah, and spread so quickly that a young white man named James Cash and a colored man and woman who were in the building were unable to escape, and perished. 3,000 bales of cotton, ISO dwellings, the electric light works, the barrel factory and a foundry were destroyed. The dwellings were frame buildings occupied by poor white and colored people, several hundred of whom are homeless. Arrangements were made to house them in the Unit ed States barracks. The city was left in darkness by the destruction of the electric light works, and as the ne groes began to drink heavily, the militia WEB called out to aid the police in.patrolling. Forty of the burned houses were owned by the Hebersham estate. The fire rug; d from soon after noon until dark, t he email fire department being powerless to cope with it. Aid was telegraphed for to Charleston and Augusta, and a special train from the former : city carried fire apparatus through.-115 mi iee, ip 4 hours and 20. f I minutes. The flames were checked at Weet Broad street, and swept over fifteen blocks, the fire being the most disastrous one there since 1824. The los?is more than a million dollars; ? j mucu ur ii umugcuvemi ny insurance which ia chiefly ia Northern and for eign companies. We Will About Strike tbe Average. We .find the following extreme good sense in the Greenville Baily News: The Abbeville Medium wants to know what the next generation of j young men will be if the State con tinues to counter ance horse racing and gambling and the clergy fail to denounce them. Neighbor, the next generation will be about like the present one and every other in the history of the world-some good, some bad, some indifferent; a few successes, many failures, a great number of records between the extremes ; much happi ness, much sorrow and trouble, day of laughter and other days cf tears" Some of the noblest men of oar race have risen from an atmosphere of horse racing and gambling ; some of the veriest ecrube have emerged from surroundings of piety and purity. Horse racing, chicken fighting, card playing, julep drinking Virginia pro duced R. E. Lee, free from all those vices; puritanical Massachusettsevol v ed Beast Butler with more general rae cality in his composition than any other living man. We will about strike the average, esteemed cotem porary, and races and chuck-a-luck at the State Fair will not cause a moral cyclone. A Reflection on tbe Honor and Hon esty o? South Carolina. South Carolinians may well be ashamed of the showing their State makes before the country in the sta tistics prepared and published by the New Orleans Times Democrat. "This State -is the only one reporting a smaller assessment of property in showing a considerable increase against our decrease of two millions of dollars. It is notorious that the val ne oJ_ all property in South Carolina has increased greatly since 1879. New railroads have been built and thou sande of new buildinge erected, and almost all lands have been improved and made more valuable. While the assessment of 1879 may have been too high, that of 18S3 is surely far too low. It is a reflection on the honor, and honesty of our whole peo pie, and a proof that this is the prop er time for the man with the scheme to 'secare honest and equitable returns of property for taxation td trot it out. -Greenville News. : <i-_ s> Thanksgivings Day. President Arthur has issued: a proclamation designating Thursday, November 29, aa a day of national thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day ie a holiday inaugurated as a harvest festival by the Puritans in 1621. Since-then it has been pretty steadily observed in New England as a token of faith in God and thankfulness for His goodnese. It waa not made a national inetitution until during the revolution, when General Washing ton, by direction of Congress, issued a proclamation for a day of thanks giving oyer the adoption of the Fed eral Constitution. Thereafter it was not annnally observed ontside of New England until 1862, when Lincoln' ieened hie memorable call, for a day of thanksgiving to celebrate the Union victory. Siuce then it has become a fixed national inetltutioaand ie annu ally observed on the last Thursday of November. In his sermon last Sunday our wiaKbAr^/?r. JJ^J^.Smithy of the ferred to Henry Ward Beecher's visit to New Orleans :. Within the past.week there has visit?d" this city the chief preacher of the philosophy of the mockery of religious convictions. His has been a strange history. No living American, enjoyed a more conspicuous station" ; no man hada better ch?ncelo windan enduring fame. Atibe age of three sc ore.and tah he appears among us as a candidate for the plaudits of the groundlings. In his neglected old age he seeks relief from the re proaches of his own conscience by re viling the convictions of others. There can be no better illustration of the worth of his principies than him? eelf. "He has eaten o? the fruit of his own way." His name and his fame are sullied. .. Ex Congressman Manning, of Mis sissippi, who was one of the most fic tive and persistent ?ntiKahdall Demo crats in the Speakership contest four years ago, waa asked in Waehington recently if he believed that Randall conld be beaten next winter. "Nn," he said, " he can. not be beaten. Our hope was in the South,, bofr lie has gained jso thejj bt*%t?iftnit????xhif bejieve he will get more votes from that section than Carlisle. Another thing, the national Democracy . o not mean to make a fight on the tariff question and Randall is just the man to lead the conservative torces now ajt work blazing ont the way for a vic tory in 1884. Yes, as mach as I would like to see Randall beaten,' I do tot believe now that it can be done." Mr. B. Sloan, Anderson, S.
