Death of Jackson Cacar, Esq.
Another of our oldest and be3t beloved
citizens is gone. The steadily failing
health of Mr. Jackson Covar, of late
months, and his recentserioun illness had
prepared his friends for the announce
ment of hi? ?e&ta at almost any time;
?nd, consequently, while none the less
pained, they were not surprised on Mon
day, the 15th inst, to learn that very
early on that morning be had yielded up
hie spirit to tho God who gave it.
.The deceased was In bis sixty-seventh
year, had lived in Edgefield all the days
of his life, and was Identified with her
best interests and her best memories.
He was the oldest child of the late John
Cover, Esq.,'.who was a citizen of Edge
fieldin its extremest early days. The
subject of our notice was a good man
and a good citizen. Truly was he
"The kindest man,
The best conditioned and unwearied
spirit,
Lt doing courtesies."
He was buried in our village cemetery
on Tuesday morning. His funeral ser
vices were conducted by the Rev. H. A.
Whitman, of the Baptist Church, and the
Rev. 8. L. Morris, of tho Presbyterian
Church. Almost our entire community
were present to do honor to bis memory.
He leaves a widow and nine children.

M When You Get Our Prices You Gel
the Lowest in the Market."
? It is a great satisfaction 'o know thal
you can get furniture justas cheap in
Augusta, as you can In New York, Bos
ton or Philadelphia. This is no mere
assertion, but a solid fact, and if any ol
.our readers are disposed to be sceptical,
let them write to some New York house
and get the lowest figures on a par ti cu
. lax piece of furniture, and then call on
J. L. Bowles it Co., of Augusta, and price
the same article. They will find that the
furniture can be, bought as low from
Bowles & Co. as from the New York
house-and lower-leaving out the ques
tion of freight charges altogether, which
is no small matter. Now with this fact
. staring ns in the face, is it not far better
to patronize home enterprise ? We do
' sot see bow there can be but one answer
to the question. And besides, Bowles <?
Co. keep none but the best of everything
in their line; and they always have the
veiy latest novelties. Bowles & Co. nev
er misrepresent anything, but tell you
exactly what you are buying, so that
they never tail to give satisfaction. We
advise our readers to read their new card,
in another column, call on them, and in
spect their stock.

Fire-Proof Warehouse.
Messrs. Wheless & Co., cotton (actors,
Angosta, Ga., who had their warehouse
barned last winter, have had the same
rebuilt on the most approved plans, and
can now boast of one of the best fire
proof warehouses in the Southern States.
It is divided into sections with strong
fire-proof walls between them, and has
water plugs and every convenience tbat
is necessary in case of ?re. Those ot our
readers who ship cotton to this firm may
rest assured that it will be as well cared
' for as it possibly can be. With the i,m
provements they have in their building
they get the lowest possible rates of in

MB. ALFRED SPEER,-Dear Sir: The
visit I made to your vineyards, wine
presses and vaults at Passaic, N. J., sat
isfied me that the wines produced by
yon are pure, and the very best that can
be offered to the public for medicinal uses?
' I have recommended your Port Wine
and Burgundy: more particularly in
my practice, I am satisfied with marked
benefit to my patients.
There can be no better proof as to thc
Wine being made of the finest Oporto
Grape, than a visit like I made to your
acres of land covered with the vine bear

R-adings of the Baptist ladies' series,
Mrs. Kate W. Cheatham's singing of

A Specialty of Delpb's Vocabulary.
Dolph, the great stove merchant of
Augusta! And in his vocabulary there
are no such words as "a poor stove " He
keeps none but the best. He knows none
but the be3t. A fact which those who
patronize bim are always willing to at
test. Nor does Delph confine himself to
stoves. On the contrary he keeps always
on hand one-of the most complete stocks
of house-furnishing goods to be found in
the South-cooking utensils, kitchen
ware, cutlery, and every other article
usually found in a fire^-class establish
ment of this kind. And if any part of
your stove breaks or wears out, go to
Dolph's and get the broken part dupli

TRENTON S. C., Sept. 15,1884.
lb the Editors of the Edge field Advertiser:
We have noticed an extract in your last
issue, copied from the Charlotte Observer
of the second mst., making charges against
Trenton, a station on the Charlotte, Co
lumbia and Augusta Railroad, as a bad
locality, (without comment) which is cal
culated to make a false impression on per
sons who do not know the contrary to be
true. Trenton, is an incorporated town as
well as a Railroad Station, and we claim
that our municipal record, as well as the
record of our county and also the testi
mony of all goofl and fair minded* men,

k ^^^^^fr us up in the asasrtio;
that iv. standing, obedience to lawi
' and wholesome local government, we wil
compare favorably with any other locality
e great or small, on this line of Road, o
any other Road in the State of Nortl
Carolina, or our own proud little State
r And we further say, and challenge proo
" to the contrary, that our officials in an<
about Trenton have ever shown a willing
ness and readiness to give all the assist
} ance needful and necessary in their pov.-e:
1 in ferreting out crime and punishing
criminals.
We further state that no complaint bai
1 ever been made to us by Conductors Alli
1 son, King, or any other Conductor, o
shooting at the train or throwing rocks ci

conduct, toward any employee of tht

*? The Toniest and Best in the Two

Who, more than Edgcfield pooplo, need

comfortable dinner, or a little lunch, ora
cup of coffee, tea or chocolate, or a bottle
of wine, or ? mug of beer. For those

of a higher standard of morality ; on '

that such legislation would be unwise
vexatious."
3. And Vice President Hendricks,
his grand speech at Toledo, Ohio, on tl

and people, said; "What say you,

Furlber on the Subject of Road
_~ Working.
. ". -MEETING STREET, Sept; 13, '84.
. ?DITOBS. EDGETIELD ADVERTISER :
Since a great deal h is leen, said re
cently thiough the papers in regard
to working of the public highway?,
you will please allow me space suf
Scient for a short letter.
A correspondent of one of the
newspapers last week, asked the ques
don, whese fault is it that the roads
are not worked? He answers the
question by saying: the white peo
ple who live along the roadf. Th';s
is to. a great extent .true, but not en
tirely so. The white people who live
along the roads are to blame for not
making an honest effort to work
them. The County Commissioners
are to blame lor not prosecuting the
Supervisors. The Supet visors are to
blaine for not forcing the overseers to
call out bands and work 12 days in
each year. The. overseers are to
blame tor not making the bands as
signed to them work the 12 days.
And the people, tboee who live along
the different roads, and those who
sit on juries, are to blame for not sus
taining the overseers in their efforts.
The over8eeis, I believe, though, are
mainly in fault.- They should work
12 days a year, and should have some
rule or system of workirg. lu most
places road working ia only a farce
and a frolic. No work of any conse
quence is done. Hands com? to the
road at nine, ten and may be ll
o'clock-laugh and talk three or Tour
hours at noon, and go home an hour
Or two'before'Vigut. For this the
uverseers are alone responsible. Un
der the law an overseer has just BB
much authority as he wants. If the
hands fail to appear and work, or if
they refuse to work under instruction,
the law makes it a misdemeanor and
they may be punished for so doing.
I know full well that a road overseer
ship is an ungratetul office, but we
certainly have honest and public
spirited men enough in the country
to accept the position, and discharge
their duty. It is some trouble of
course to return hands, and very
discouraging to try to work a road
when a number of hands try to avoid
road service through'a doctor's certifi
cate, and those who occupy the jury
bench do not sustain the overseer ;
but nevertheless it must be done, or
our roads are gone to the devil. In
deed they are not far from it now; I
am an overseer myself, and I expect
to work every one of the hands ae
signed me 12 days. Then if I have
not a good road, it will not be my
fault. . I am determined to return
every hand assigned to me who works
at home, and will not work the road
under my instructions every time
they fail to work. I do not care il
they have a baaketfull of certificates.

SAM TiioRrE AT HIS OLD TRADE -
On last Saturday night Mr. Henry
Melton, an elderly gentleman, who at
tends to Mr. F. M. Warren's mill,
heard an unusual commotion about
his chicken-house. Seizing his gun
he soon made his appearance on the
.scene. Sam Thorpe was there-in
side-interviewing the chickens. Un
fortunately, however, he was too
quick for Mr. Melton, and instead of
getting a load of buckshot as he de
served, he got in a blow with a stick,
breaking one of Mr. Melton's arms
aud thus he was enabled to make good
hiseacape. .Thorpe has not been
served out a sentence of six or twelve
months for stealing chickens from
Mts. Bacon. The walls are yearning
for him again.-Monitor.
The ?Aiken Journal and Review
8ay8<t?at the auditor's abstract of the
rea^aUf! personal property of Aiken
County does not make a very credita
ble showing lor the county. While
the returns for real property show an
increase of $10.057 over last year's
ieturn8, the returns for personal prop
erty have fallen oft' to the extent of
180,330. The auditor saye that had
the GranitevMe Mills and the Lang
ley Mill made the same returns as
last year, there would have been an
increase in this year's taxes of over
$206,000. As it is the Grantville
Mills returned $170,070 less of per
soual property and the Lungley Mill
$26.430.
The Keowee Courier 6ays : " We
venture the assertion, without the
fear of contradiction, that any farmer
who will put the same amount, of ma
nure per acre on ten acres of land,
plough it in and sow and barrow in
Oats, he will realize, with one-fourth
the expense in cultivation and har
vesting, more money from the ten
acres than he could make in cotton.
The same ie true of wheat. After
these grains are harvested the same
land can be planted or sowed in peas
and these he can cut, adding to his
profit. This kind .of farming, too,
not only prevents the washing of t he
lane1, but gradually enriches it. . We
see that for fifteen years, with all our
large crops of cotton, the fartneif
continue io debt and live year by
year from hand to month."
The Greenwood correspondent o!
the Abbeville Press and Banner says:
" John Tolbert was in town laal
week. He says his majority over
Aiken will be three thousand, and
that four white men here and eighl
at Ninety-Six have promised to vote
tor him. He says the only com
puDCtioo of conscience he has in op
posing Col. Aiken is that they botl
belong to the same church."

Dear Sir: In reference to the Hnll Gin, I must say I am well pleased with it.
It gives perfect satisfaction, and a better turnout in lint I have nevei bad than the
Hall Gin gives. I ginned last season live hundred bales, and every one was satis
fied with the turnout of their cotton, as it over thirded itself considerably ; and
another thing about it, you cati gin the cotton wet and it will gin it clean from the
seed. This is a great thing for a ein to do-that is, ginning lor the public.
On the 70-saw Giu I bought of you, I have ginned from twelve to thirteen bales
