Satan would rather have one beautiful woman work for him than 10,000 men. We regret to hear of the serious illness of Mr. B. F. Sharpton, our late" efficient town marshal. Miss Annie Bee, who has been spending the winter near Mc.Lel lanville has returned home. If you promise to meet a man or to do a certain thing at certain moment, honor your engagement. Never believe all you may hear; for he who believes all that he hear3 often tolls more than he hears. Man sp?nds his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, and iu trembling respect ing the future. The art of living easily with re gard to money is to pitch your scale of liviug at least one degree below your means. The best government is not that which renders rnan: the happiest, but that which renders the greatest number happy. Envy pursues its victims throughout life. It ceases to gnaw only when the grave-worm its brother reptile, begins. J Mr. W. J. Lanham, former clerk of Alvin Hart & Co., now with J. B. White & Co., of Augusta, was in Edgefield on Suuday last. It is reported, at this writing, that Gov. Tillman has "hung" the Supreme Court of the United States on the railroad tax cases. The meeting of the County Alliance on last Friday was the largest held in two years or more and seemed to bo quite enthu siastic. In all negotiations of difficulty a man may not look to sow and reap at once, but must prepare business, and so ripen it by de grees. Rev. L. R. Gwaltney will preach in the Baptist Church to-night, Tuesday, and will continue ser vices for an indefinite period, per haps a week or more. Mr. L. L.

Derrick, of Ethe ridge, has teturned homo from a trip to Texas. He hasn't anything ; to say against Texas, but is of the opinion that there is no place like South Carolina.

Sulphide of carbon is said to be an unfailing destroyer of vermin in poultry and pigeon houses. Small vials are filled with it and hung about the house. When it has partially evaporated and be comes yellow it must be shaken up. We publish the programme of the Interdenominational Sunday School Convention of Edgefield county on our outside. Give ita perusal, reader, and see if you are not down to do something, or at least if it isn't, your duty to be there when the general roll is colled The large cotton acreage in this section is more apparent than real. The impression comes from the large quantities of fertilizers bought. This is explained by the high price of cotton seed last win ter : farmers Bold their seed and replaced them with commercial fertilizers.-Newberry Observer. Mr. OBcar Burnett, who pur chased the Dr. Henry Tompkins place where he now lives, proposes to leave out ten acres every year apd not cultivate it af. all except to sow peas, but changing the pea patch every year so it will be in a different place. In this way in a few years all his lauds will be rich in vegetable matter or humus. "Ev6ry hour of tiroe lost, sa Napoleon, "is a chance for misfc tune." Money can't save a man, but can keep him mighty fat until h time comes. Cotton seed for planting, con mon varieties, is selling in certai portions of the county at 50 cen per bushel. It is said that a pinch of sa placed on the tongue, and allowe to dissolve slowly, is a certain eui for Bick headache. Examination of applicants 1 teach in the public schools of thi county will take pluce Friday an Saturday of this week. Mr. Albert Nicholson advertise his valuable plantation for sali See description in the advertis? ment herewith published. Capt. Geo. B. Lake reports frof on Monday morning of this wael not enough to do much harm, bu the veritable frost was visible. Mr. John R. Scurry hos bee elected town marshal by the ne1 council, vice B. F.

If your neighbor borrows thit paper to read, which he sureh does if he is not a subscriber, show him this paragraph that bi may know he can have the papei a whole year for one dollar anc fifty cents. On Monday morning of thit week the thermometer had faller to 46 degrees, within six degrees ol frost, but the danger of killing frosts we may now believe to be over. No more frost this year until persimmons get ripe. Our genial friend, Sam Colgan, has decided td take a course at the Aiken Keeley Institute. He left for that place on Monday of this week. It requires about three weeks to get a diploma. Aftei Sam's return we shall interview him for the benefit of our readers. A story is going around about a man whose wife has gone, visiting and would not listen to his appeals to come home before her visit was out. He took a copy of his home paper, carefully clipped out just one item, then sent the paper to her. She wrote and asked what the item was about and he refused to tell her. The scheme worked admirably, and in less than a week Bhe was at home to fiod out what had happened that her husband did not want her to know.-Ex. "There is a new organization just formed in Newberry known as the Sons of Rest. The main objects of the new order are to take ease during the coming summer months and not to worry or fret about not having anything to do, for their leading object will be to take ease. The membership is already large, but a few more applications will received if put in without delay." We have no doubt this organiza tion will be very popular aB to the season advances. Three C's Redivivus. It is reported again that the Three C's Railroad is to be com pleted very soon. The Herald and News hopes the report is true. The branch of it from Augusta to Blacksburg is very much needed. It would be a great thing for New berry, but then railroads nor any thing else can make a town grow unless the citizens are possessed of some public Bpirit. Still we would be very glad to see this part of the road built and that speedily, and we hope the report is true.-New berry Herald and News. Ridge Spring Crop Prospects. Mr. G. W. ThrailkilJ, who lives in the Ridge Spring oountry, was in our office on Tuesday of this week. He reports that the oats in his section are suffering for rain, especially those that are beginning to head. The fruit crop he says promises to be abundant, in fact there are too many peaches on the trees and the peach growers have already commenced thinning out the overladen boughs ; about two thirds is the rule to take off. Wa ter melon growers aro planting largely of this delicious fruit stimulated by the big prices of last year. Good News. We have some good news for the farmers, the farmers who expect to plant all cotton, it is this: Eli Perkins has been down in Louis iana and Texas and has written to a New York paper that the people down there have gone wild over sugar raising, abandoning cotton culture, that by reason of this fact this years cotton crop will be a million bales short, and as a consequence cotton will be very scarce and very high. All that spoils this bright prospect is the fact that Eli Perkins is known to be the biggest liar on the conti nent. We publish Perkin's letter on our outside. Oh, but Perkins is such an awful liar! Rev. J. Wesley Barr. Just as we go to press a tele gram has been handed us an nouncing the sudden death, at his home in Jackson county, Ga.', pf our old, genial, and kind hearted friend, the Rev. J. Wesley Barr, who removed from this county some seven or eight years ago. Alvin Hart & Co. That big double column adver tisement of Alvin Hart & Co., does not need any notice at our hands, it speaks for itself; only read it, beloveds, and it will do the rest. The bargains a/e so great and. so many that your shekels will be wisely taken from your pockets and dropped into tho tills of this popular firm. Let 'em drop. Spanish Peanuts. Mr^B. L. Rambo's success with Spanish peanuts has put every body in this region in the notion of planting largely of that variety this spring. You can plant this kind after oats, and it will yield abundantly, and then it is so much les3 trouble to gather than the other varieties. You simply reach down, catch hold of the vines, give a sli?ht jerk, and lo and be hold you have pulled up a peck, more or less, of the little liver invigorating beauties, There is no necessity afterwards to do any digging; that little jerk which pulled up the vine got 'em all. Revival Services. Will you kindly state that the Rev. Geo. G. Smith, of the North Georgia Conference, will conduct a two weeks revival service in our Methodist Church, beginning about the 5th Sunday in.this month. He is an author of considerable prom iuence,Jaaving written most excel lent biographies of Bishops An drew and Pearce, history of Meth odism in Georgia, and quite a number of smaller works of de cided merit. He is, perhaps, un excelled as a popular writer for our religious periodicals, and is said to be specially gifted in preaching to children and young people. Let prayer be made con tinually that a more abundant life may come to our community through this meeting. A. B. WATSON. Something Progressive. Mr. Giles D. Mims, of our town, che noted architect and contractor, is putting up near the Gumberland Gap depot a three-story building, sixty by seventy feet in size, and later there ie to be an addition of twenty by seventy feet for the storage of lumber. This building is to be used by Mr. Mims and his emyloyees as a general work and sales shop for the making and sale of all kinds of furniture, coffins, sash, doors, blinds, house finishing material, etc., and also as a depot of lumber supplies of all grades and sizes. Steam will be used in the shops, for all purposes where it can be used, and a railroad track will connect with the Cumberland Gap and run through the shops for. the convenient manipulating and shipment of stocks. There will be an abundance of room, and steam power to spare at this estab lishment to run a cannery, and Mr. Mime is more than willing that they be used for such pur poses, It goes without saying that the smaller industries make the nickels hop. "Let Us Dispense With Non sense," So Says a Horsesensi ble Anti. MR.EDITOR: I am an anti-Tillman ite, but I do not propose to cut off my no*e to spite my face, as some anti-Tillmanites are doing by fighting the Dispensar}'law. This law beyond any question is bette than bar-rooms and better than blind tigers, and what is of great moment to us in the town of Edge field, it will prevent the levy and collection of a big town tax. I am opposed to Tillmau, but I do not hate him bad enough to pay. a town tax specially to spite him. In all our get tings let us antis try to get wisdom, how to fight and when to fight; and if we must play the fool, let us play it about something that will not cost us F J much as a 5, 6, or 7 mill town tax. So let's have a Dispensary in Edgefield, and fight Tillman on some other battle field than that of his own choosing, heaven knowe there are enough of them| A HORSE SENSIT, LE ANTI. Edgefield, S. C. Good News from Upper Choty. MB. EDITOR: The farmers are wide-awake in this section . and moving their plows with a vim ; all seem to be in high spirits and looking forward to a good yield of everything at harvest time. All, however, are planting a big cotton crop, and every one of them deny ing that he is so doing. But I re joice to state that while the big cotton crop will be planted a big acreage in corn will also be put in -the biggest since the war. Of course there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth this fall over 5 and 6 cents cotton, empty purses, and unpaid debts but sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Oats are looking well up to this writing, but they need rain. Mr. Editor, ac so much has been said about planting more corn, wouldn't it he well to adv'Re the farmers to work their corn better, and neglect the oottou if any orop has to be neglected. Touch 'em up along this line. Mr. J. W. I., is the biggest feel ing man in all Choty-hits a fine gal. We saw John a few days ago and he appeared to be two inchei taller and very happy. The whooping cough has given the little folks a hard time this spring. Nearly every family in this section has had cases of it. We hear that the chimes of wed ding bells are soon to ring in this bailiwick, and ere this is seen by the eyes of the public your corres pondent "Rip Van Winkle" will be made happy. We wish him a long and happy sojourning in this vale of tears. The Rev. B. 0. Berry at Barr's Chapel on last Sunday furneral ized the remains of Mrs. Martha Shinall to a large and attentive congregation. Brother Berry is a fine preacher and a faithful worker in the vineyard. We met the Hon. W. J. Talbert a day or two since and he prom ised to lecture at "Our Hall" on the second Saturday in May. Mr. Editor, if the ground don't get too hard or the mule too lazy, you will hear from us again. Luck and prosperity and all the<goods of life to you and the old ADVERTISER. A CHOTARIAN. Franklin, S.
