Benjamin W. Beltis.
One week ago the angel of a better
and holier world laid its gentle hand
upon the mortal agony of young Ben
jamin W. Bettie, and he-arose in ihe
pride of his unsullied manhood end
returned his bright life intcthe band?
of Him who giveth and Him who
taketh away. Throughout his short
life he wore the honor of his gallant
and promising youth like a diamond
on his bosom, and carried in his hand
even unto death the admiration of all
who knew him, and the deepest love
and devotion of his own beloved Edge
field. With a powerful and cultivat
ed intellect, with a warm and gener
ous nature, with a fearless and chiv
alric character, he ever made straight
his paths before his fellow man. Im
pulsive and vigorous, yet brave and
ollected, Benjamin W. Bettie was
a rong and energetic ia all thingf
a Tong ia his likes, strong in his dis
likes, strong in sustaining what he
believed to be right, strong in de
muncing what he believed to le
wrong-a man who never quailed in
the discbarge or at the consequences of
daty. To strangers he sometimes ap
peared cold; to everybody he vts.
8elf-reliant and determined. And as
intimate acquaintance8hip~l?eveloped
his deeper traits, he appeared bett
and moat lovable, and drew about
him as strong a circle of friends JS
ever young mau could desire. If bis
mind was a rich deposit, his heart
waa ol' pure gobi ; and those who
loved him here will never forget him
-never 1
But good bye, Ben! There aie
tears, but not for you, noble boy.
Tears for our sadness-tears^ for the
desolate father, mother, sister, theda
voted brothers, the affectiouate friends
you have left behind. Your friends
would have pressed your hand on:e
more, Ben, and seen that rare, sweet
smile again. But "God watches His
beloved while they sleep." And mean
while we follow humbly on, with hap
py confidence that you are at Home.
"The sweet, the lovable, the just
Make holv dnst;
Elsewhere than on this earth,
Shall come their second birth."

The Alost Practical and Promising j
Railroad Meeting We llave Kv cr
Known in Eage?eld.
If we mistake not the signs of the
times, a narrow-gauge railroad will
soon be shedding life and light and
money throughout Meriwether Town
ship, and Wise, and Collier, and Col
lins, and Pickens, and Pine Grove,
and Mobley^agd Cooper, and Cole

-A meeting of the Corporators of
this proposed road was held in the
ADVERTISER office on Monday lait
and, as we have said above, it was ti.
irost practical and promieing railroad
meeting we have ever known in Edge
field.
The charter, which, in the begin
niag of the proceedings, was read bv
Senator Callison, who may emphat?
ally be called the godfather of this
enterprise, and accepted by the Cor
poratore. According to this charter
the title of the company is "the Au
gusta sud Edgefield Railroad Com
pany." Jubt so soou as it can be of
ficially done, the title will be changed
to "Augusta, Edgefield and New
berry."
Of the twenty one C??rporatoiR, the
following were present : R. M. Mitch
ell, James Callison, D. R. Durisoe,
Lewis JoneB, O. F. Cheatham, Ernest
Gary, Orlando Sheppard, A. J. Nor
ris, James DeVore, J. L. Addison, 0.
L. Dobson, W. S. Allen, A. S. Tomp
kins, Alvin Hart and F. H. Wardlaw.
Col. R. M. Mitchell, thc first Cor
porator named, is the now famous and
widely known President-author and
finisher-of the successful uarrow
gauge road which leads from Augus
ta, westwards towards Sandersville,
Ga., its objectivo point. Tho entire
length of this road, if we mistake
not, will be sixty milse.of which some
twenty five are already completed aud
in highly remunerative operation. Its
cotai completion is only a matter ol a
very short time. The Augu&ta.Edge
field and Newberry will be virtually
a continuation of the Augusta, Elbtr
ton and Sandersville. Col. Mitchell
ia now the narrow gauge kiug aid
authority of the South. Two years
ago, when he was just beginning the
Augofta, Elberton and Sandersville
road, we traveled with him from Edge
field to Trenton. Every foot of the
way he talked "narrow gauge" like a
quarter horse ; insomuch that when
we parted from him, we regarded him
aa the fullest-blown enthusiast we had
ever met. Time, however, bas proved
that we were the fool, and Col. Mitch
ell the wise man. In the light of
present circumstances we are proud
to "acknowledge the corn."
The charter provides " that so soon
as the sum of fifty thousand dollars
ja subscribed, th? corporators afore
said, or a majority of them, shall, by
advertisement once a week fir four
weeks in one or both the papers pub
lished at Edgefield Court House, call
a meeting of the stockholders, to be
held at some place on the proposed
line of said railroad, one month alter
the date of said notice, for the pur
pose of organizing said company, and
eaid stockholders shall then and there
after have power to organize the said
company by electing from among their
number eleven (ll). Directors, who
shall immediately titer their election
ohocse one of their'number lor Prest | ni
dent of said company; and the term G
tl
of office of Pro-ident and Directors
J cf paid Company shall he one year,
and until their successors shall here
after be elected, bat no one shall be
eligible to the office of Director uu
less he owns not less than five shares
in the capital stock of said company,
or unless he be ono of a firm owning
as many times five shares as there aro
members in the firm."
Consequently, no permanent or
ganization can yet be effected. Of
the temporary organization agreed
upon by the Corporators, Col. Mitchell
was unanimously choeen Chairman.
Or in other words he is ut present
President of the Company. This wo
regard as a ten strike of wisdom.
Senator Callison was chosen as Vice
Chairman, and siso as cauvasser of
the Company to solicit subscriptions
for ten miles on either side of the
line from Augusta to Newberry. An
other emphatic ten strike of wisdom.
If the money is to be had, uo man
caa get it or will get it eo quickly as
James Callieon. Even before he left
the ADVERTISER office, he secured
bona fide subscriptions amount ing to
$8,000; and before he left our town
on Tuesday afternoon, he had swelled
this to $13,000. Aa early as next
week he will begin to canvass active
ly between Edgefield and Augusta.
The following admirabloand cheer
ing letter, authorized by a meeting
of loading citizens, of the beautiful
and thriving town of Prosperity, in
our sistet county of* Ne wherry, was
read before {.the meeting, received
with gratification and cheers, and
adopted as information :
PROSPERITY, S. C., Joly 31, -85..
Hon. Jas. Collison, Edgefieid, 8. C.
DEAR SIR: Having noticed that a I
meeting of the incorporators of the
Narrow Gauge road from Edgefield to
Augusta is called to be held at Edge
field C. H. on Monday, 3rd proximo,
aud believing that the road will be
extended through our County, and
feeling the necessity and feasibility
of the proposed road touching at our
place, a meeting of the business men
was called to take the matter under
consideration. At said meeting
committee was appointed to lay be
fore the incorporators, at their said
meeting, our interest and sympathy
in Baid road, and to give your body
some approximate idea of the busiuess
of this place, and the practicability
of a route from here to Edgefield.
Thin place is located in one of .the
most prosperous sections of South
Carolina, and we think from a care
ful consideration of the business done
here, and the prosperous section sur
rounding us, and the fact that our
people are willing to take liberally
of stock in order to secure the road,
will justify the incorporators iu com
ing to our place with the road and
theuce to Newberry. Prosperity is
located in the midst of a densely pop
ulated section. A large per cent, of |
the white population of Newberry
County is immediately surrounding
our place. They are weii to do, thrifty
farmers. Tue population of oar town
alone, according to census of 1880,
gives us 610.
The route, io order to touch our
town and still reach Newberry, would
be only from four, to six miles further,
and the country urom here to New
adapted for building a road, and
an examination e>f the country, we
submit that the route via Prosperity
will have advantages which a direct
ron te to Newberry does not possess
By sn examination of the country, it
will be found that by coming by our
town you avoid crossing BUHU Rivei
and Beaver Dam Creek, and we thin
the saving in the building of these
two bridges alone would pay the dif
terence in the cost of building th
additional few miles in the length of
the road to reach Newberry vi? Pros
perity, not taking into consideration
the business the road would gain by
coming via Prosperity, nor the amount
of mouoy that would be subscribed
iu order to secure the road.
If our suggestions meet with fa
vorable consideration by your body
we would bo glad to appoint a com
mit tee to confer with you, and devise
some plan of operation.
Wc submit the following as an ap
proximation of the business of Pi os
perity :
The total freight receipts amount
to about $50,000 annually.
Between 5,000 and G.000 bales ol
colton have been sold this year
Between 1,000 and 1,200 tons of I i
guano are received here annually.
The raerc.tnlile business of the town
will approximate$300,000perannum
The passenger travel is increasing
inuually. This place has grown rap
idly in the past few years, and the
business is still increasing.
All of which is respectfully sub j
nitted. H. C. MOSELEY,
E. H. AULL,
L. S. BOWERS,
C. F. BOYD,
Committee
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Corporators of
he Augusta aiid Edgefield Railroad
Company do adopt as the line of said
?oad the most practicable ronte from
he city of Augusta, State of Georgia,
>7 Edgefield C. H., to Newberry C.
I., by the most practicable survey io
he opinion of the Directors of Baid
load.
A resolution was also adopted that
Chairman Mitchell, at bis leisure, ap
.oint a Committee of three for each
township along the line, to open
ooks of subscription to capital stock
f said Company.
The heading to the Subscription
jist runs thus : "We the undersigned
ereby agree to subscribe to the capi
al stock of the Augusta and Edge
eld Railroad Company, the number
f shares set opposite our respective
ames, and bind ourselves, severally*
3 pay the same io instalments of not
lore than 20 per cent, per mouth.
Lnd we further agree, severally, to
ive and deed the right of way to
aid Company in the event the line
f survey adopted shall pass through
Dy of our lands, provided said right
f way shall not exceed one hundred
iel in width.
And thus does the railroad proe
ect of Edgefield again brighten ; for
talk what we say-although it is
joir-iry to the opinion of many
loomy aod perhaps wise people
tat if this narrow gauge be built, it
ill hasten np and make ceitain the
Lidding of the Carolins, Cumberlsnd
ap and Chicago Road. God grant
|. that our prediction may not fail. And
' now let broad-gauge be the watch
word from Montmorenci to the moun
tains, and narrow gauge be the slogan
from Augusta to Chester. Mitchell,
we look to you for great things ! Cal
liflOD, we fa now and trust your vim
and patriotism ! People, hold up the
hands of these two men,, with an eye
single to your own ami your country's
good !
Probability of Jobo C. Sheppard
Filling tba Executive ('bair.
We fiud the following in the Co
lumbia correspondence of the Augus
ta Chomclc, and with all Edgefield,
we can subscribe heartily to the re
marks concerning our honored friend
and fellow citizen, the Hon. "J. C.
Sheppard*. So far as we know, the
resignation of .Col. Thomas has uol
been authoritatively or officially an
nounced :
" It is rumored that Col. J. P. Thom
as has resigned bis position KS Super
intendent of the Citadel Academy,
and that Gov. Hugh S. Thompson
will be requested to accept the posi
tion. If he should do so, it would be
in the highest manner complimentary
to the Academy, as the Governor
would resign the highest office in the
State to take charge of it. It would
be of great benefit to the Citadel in
other ways. Gov. Thompson enjoys
a wilie reputation as an educator, ami
is thoroughly versed in military ai
faits. The State would lose a fine
Executive, but theyounger sons would
gain " mni\j\ prf>VBfT,:T^- Governor
Thompson's resignation would put
Lieut Gov. John C. Sheppard in the
Executive chair, and he would proba
bly be the youngest Governor the
State ever had, and doubtless one of
the best. Ile is a representative of
the young Democracy of the State,
and as such would be specially ac
ceptable to this part of the party,
while his wise and conservative ad
ministration would make him just SH
popular with the older members."
Tbe Dead Mao.
Tin Sparta Ishmaclite in comment
ing on the death of General Grant,
says : "Grant is dead. No one want
ed him to die, but the honest hearted
people of this section were as indiffer
ent to the news of his death as they
would have been to that ol a promi
nent Jersey bull. Ile had never done
anything to entitle him to their grati
tude or respect, and in truth he had
neither. The columns of our ex
changes are filled with false and ful
some praises of the deceased, but
that same sense of self respect which
deterred us from acting towards him
with the humility of a spaniel while
he lived will prevent our indulging in
any laudatory resolutions about Lia
opeu grave.
It is always right and proper to
speak the truth. The seutiment of
the pagan philosopher "speak nothing
of the dead but good" is RB appro
priate now as when penned, but in no
respect violated by a truthful chroni
cle of the character and record ol
the dead. To speak only the truth
is to speak good, if a Southern
man will point to a single instance
when Grant manifested the slightest
degree of charity or justice io deal
ing with our people during, al. the
close, or since the war which was not
necessitated by the integrity of his
"aorj^p-rules- of (lie elvi I -
?z?ow?rTare, let it be recorded.
Wo have expressed our views of
this man in these columns time and
again, and it is unnecessary to repeat
them. They have undergone uo
change by reason of the accident ul
his death. They were true then, are
true now, will always be true. It ?H
indicative of a wretched state of
|iul>lic morals that any man of his
official and commercial character and
associations can maintain the good
opinion and respect of the people of
the North even though he hail been
so successful in maintaining the su
Ere macy of their arms on the field of
attie.
May the lime soon come when vir
tue and integrity will be the only
passports to public honor and private
respect.

Dear Sir-During tho fall of 1884 I ginned about 450 bales cotton with tho 00
SAW AUGUSTA COTTON GIN, tiring for power a G Horse Birdsall Engine I
usually ginned 450 lbs lint cotton an hour Tho gin cleans tho seod perfectly, and
the lint from it sold last season in Augusta at A 'o'?, per pound above ibo lint, from
other gins in my section. My patrons woro well ploasod with my work. Tho gin
is now almost in perfect ordor. Yours truly, WALTER TAL UK KT.
AUGUSTA, GA , December 23rd, 1884.
Mr. O. M. STONK, Manager Augusta Colton Gin Go.
Detr Sir-During tho past season I have ginned 400 bales cotton on the 00 Saw
AuguRta Gin. It clonus tho seed perfectly, makes an unusually fino sample and a
splendid turn out. My gin has not failed to maka a yield of over ono pound lint
to 3 pounds seed. My usual limo nf ginning a bale of cotton is from 40 to CO min
utes. I can recommend tho Augusta Cotton Gin to tho public
COG BURN A STEVENS.
Mr. J. H. Coglin rn, of Cogbum it Stevena, also states that his gin has, during
the entire season, yielded moro lint from seed colton than any of tho gins used in
his section. This result was not obtained from ono plantation ouly, but from
many plantations, since be used it as a traveling ginnery with a Birdsall Traction
Engine. The splendid yield was due solely fr? the Augusta Cotton Gin, since
drouth had caused short crops, and therefore the staple could not have boen ex
ceptionally good. O. M. STONE, Manager.

Dear Sir-During the past ginning season wo used one of your ?0-Saw Augusta
Cotton Gins, with a 0-honte power Ames Engine. Wo usually ginned a bale ol'
cot m in 45 minutes. Tho seed was always perfectly cleaned, and the turn-out ns
good as could be expected frouisany gin. The sample was very Gue. Tho gin is
very strong and well made, and has given perfect satisfaction both to oursolves and
patrons.
Tho 32-inch mill, built for us by the Augusta Cotton Gin Co., makes excollent
meal and works well. Wo grind 8 bushels an hour when rocks are in order.
