Anent the recent sensation about starving preachers on Butler cir cuit we clip the following from the Southern Christian Advocate : "Butler Circuit.-! have been" employed by Brother Campbell to supply Butler circuit, made vacant by tfie misfortune to Brother At taway. A kinder people I never saw than these. They met us at the parson age with a Southern greeting and welcome. We found enough cook ed up to last us a week. "More and more to follow." God bless these good people and grant unto us showers of blessing during this year. Do not believe a word of the editorial in the Register. It is a base calumny, and a stab at our religion. My predecessor was am ply provided for. Please send rae, the dear old Southern for the year. Will do all I can to extend its circulation. Long may she wave ! Pray for us. FREO F. ST. CL?IR. Butler, Edgefield County, S. C. News From Eira wo oil. MR. EOITOR: Some time has elapsed since my last letter as I have had nothing of interest to communicate. Of course I could have made up 'something, but I didn't want my neighbors "a-cus 8in" at so staunch a Tillmanite as you, therefore I concluded to tell only the truth. The long, weary weather is about over, and sunshine and hope are breaking through the clouds of our discontent. Some uneasiness was feilt in re gard to the small grain during the freezes, but it stood the storms surprisingly well and promises a fair yield. Mr. Dave Strother and Miss Mattie Lake were happily married at the residence of the bride's brother, Mr. G. B. Lake, on Feb ruary 14th, by the Rev. A. B. Wat son. May their pathway be strewn with flowers. Mrs. L. P. Boone, who has been ill for a long while, is now con valescent. Master Hughes Lake had the misfortune to break his arm while playing at school a few days ago. The Advertiser is welcomed weekly by us. May 1893 bring it many friends and admirers as staunch and ai tina as PROBLEM. A Letter from Augusta. MR. EniTOR : Please say to my sisters, aunts, and cousins ihat L. F. Padgett 805 Broad at Augusta, Ga. is now selling out his entire stock of carpets at less than cost, his stock includes every-thing from a common 25 cts, cottou car pet np to the best. I know Mr P and can assure you that every thing that he says is all right. He finds upon investigation that he has more carpets than he ought to have at ? this season and he knowe-that many of them will have to be carried until next season unless run off at cost price, he thinks it is better to face the loss at once and divide, with the people by giving them the benefit nf carpets at less than cost rather than to carry them over, Therefoi, every piece of carpet has been cut down in price. This sale will last until March the 20th; small samples will be mailed if you will say what price you want to pay. Now Mr Editor I thank you very much for your time and patience and at some other time I will be glad to write you an item concering some of Augusta's big establishments, Yours very truly, Elbat Resserd, Augusta Ga. In the Name of Humanity. . . "I wag sick and in prison and ve visited me not."-Jeans. The service of Christ is the ser vice of humanity. Not the service of the good and the grateful only, but the service of the unthankful and the evil likewise. Prompted by this great truth, I am led to call the attention of those in au thority and the public generally to the condition of the prisoners in our jail. Their necessities are in some respects a just reproach to our boasted civilization, to say nothing of our christianity. In the eyes of the law they are inno cent until proven guilty, and they have the right to such conditions as are not unfavorable rte health and comfort. It is ^tru?-they are well fed and their qu?r^is jare kept neat and clean, but tobe com pelled to .lie on the floor with only a blanket and the windows open to the icy winds during the terri ble weather of the last few weeks, is a cruelty of which barbarians onlv are expected io be guilty. Do let them have at least a suffi ciency of bedding. The county pays a considerable sum I am told, for medical attention to those prisoners.. Much of this I am per suaded could be saved, if more comfortable quarters could be pro-: rided for these wretched creatures. What can be more farcical than to have a physician in daily attend ance with pills and powders and all the surroundings fostering and breeding disease? Improve the san itary condition 6*f those "fragments of humanity" and there will be but little need of them. _A. B. WATSON. TO Build up ? Town. An effort is to be made to estab lish quite a town at Calhoun, the locality of Clemson College. Yes terday the Secretary of State is sued a commission to Nelson C. Poe and David B. Sloan, of Green ville, and H. A. Strade, of Fort Hill, as corporators of the Cal houn Land Company of Calhoun. The capital stock of the company is $50,000 with the privilege of in creasing to $200,000. The shares are $50each. The company's object is to deal in real estate and put improve ments thereon. Congressman-elect Talbert. Congressman-elect Talbert spent yesterday in the city, He is known to have said some very hard things about the present Administration while here, but when seeu by a representative of The State and asked for a talk on political mat ters and a forecast of the future, he said he had not been keeping up with the current events ot late as he should, and just at present he did not care to talk much. He intimates that he will have coti siderable to say shortly. He went to Washington last evening, and will return in about ten days. It is reported that he will be in the next Senatorial fight against Gov ernor Tillman and Senator Butler. -The State. Tolbert In Trouble. United States Commissioner Bausket placed J. W. Tolbert, postmaster at Ninty Six under a bond of $2,000 for his appearance at court to answer to a charge of embezzlement of the funds of the office. He was arrested by Post office Inspector Baird and was brought to Columbia Sunday. He was] bound over in ' the sum of $1,000 by the commissioner for his appeareance yesterday. Tolbert is the son of John R. Tolbert, a Republican of Abbeville County, and it was through the influence of his father that he obtained the position. The occasion arose when he needed $1,600, and as he didn't have the ready cauh he took it from the office, expecting to return it, as he is able financially to do so. In the meantime the inspector carno in and found the shortage, before Tolbert had replaced it. He made a clean breast of the whole affair and paid back the money, but he was arrested any way. He gave the bond and has returned to Ninty Six, . AN EXPOSTULATION. "When the sons of song descend to ; trade, Their bays are sear, their former laurels fade." . BYRON.
