The State dispensary is carrying a

Gov. Evans has appointed Hon. W.
H.Yeldell Inpector of dispensary, un
doubtedly a good selection.
The old Bath paper mills are to be
resuscitated and converted into a big
cotton factory.

We hear divers reports from various
sections in regard to the oats. Some
report almost total destruction of the
crop, and all agree it was ternb'y in
jured by the severe weather.
The Newberry cotton mills are at
a stand still for the purpose of putting
in new machinery. The old boiler and
engine have been shipped to Green
wood to run one of the new factories
in that city.

future will be his insurance headquar

Edgefield is too much of a pent up
Utica. Mr. D. R. Durisoe will occupy
his office.
The negro preachers in the State
have commenced to organize their fol
lowers, so that they can be registered
and voted at the coming election for
delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention. There are none in Edgefield
County doins" this thing that we know
of.
Rev. Dr. S. L. Morris, a former pas
tor of our village Presbyterian church,
is booked for a trip on the Steamer
"Friesland" to the Meditenarian Sea.
He will visit the Holy Land and will
be absent two or three months.

The News and Courier has given
Mr. Chris Williams the oredit for hav
ing raised the second largest hog in
South Carolina, and Mr. Mark Shealy
the ft?fib largest, but he got the pig
from "Scratch" Whittle.
The new county board of commis
sioners decided, we believe, at their
meeting last Saturday not to adopt the
contract system for working the roads
in Edgefield County. We would sug
gest however that they experiment
with this system on one road ora por
tion of a road in Edgefield where the
conditions are most favorable for such
experiment.
It is not generally known, perhaps,
that ic is a violation of law to put
fire in the woods. Everybody should
let it be known, for such fires are fre
quently very dangerous and always
destructive.
Guano factories are not rushed with
orders as is usual at this season of the
year, and guano agents are rather
down in the mouth. Up to this time
no prices have been established and
no plans fixed upon,
"We direct the attention of our read*
ers to the advertisement of Simmons
Liver Regulator on another page. We
have used the medicine in our family,
and are prepared to say, from expe
rience, that fora torpid liver or a dis
ordered stomach it is a good remedy.
When travelling' we usually carry
some in our valise."-From the "Chris
tian Visitor," Smithfield, N. C.
People are paying taxes very slow
ly ; the continued rush from now to
the end of the chapter would scarce
suffice to accommodate the tax-paying
public. There ought to be some plan
by which taxes might be paid at any
time from January to January, We
believe this was the plan before the
war.
The Bamburg Cotton Mill, a small
plant" comparatively speaking, pays
out |3,000 per week to the operatives,
and every dollar of it is spent in Bam
b? rg, so says the Bamburg Herald *
This shows what a cotton factory
would do for the merchants of Edge
Held, aud the wisest in vesmentthey can
make would be to subscribe liberally!
?o the stock of such a factory to be lo
?ated here.

that by 50 cents per hundred (tho

caustic political cartoons, will continue

comment on the lesser doings of the
