So far as we know Hampton is
the only county that has adopted
the contract system of working the
roads.
The cotton crop ia sight amounts
ro about 8,000,000 bales, or about
2,000,000 more than it did this
time last season.
Senator Hanley, of Conn., says
that "the ten commandments could
not pass the United States Senate
now." Which statement, we may
remark, friends are echoing res
ponse in all the heans of all the
people.
The nev/ county government law,
as we understand it, allows a com
mutation' tax of two dollars in
lieu of working the roads, if paid
by March 1st. After that date it
becomes three dollars. All these
malters should be understood by
the people, and we have no doubt
fiat Supervisor Whittle will pub
lish a synopsis of the law before
long.
The Administration at Wash
ington sold'last waek to a syndi
cate of brokera $62.000,000 of four
per cent bonds at 104 when the
seme class of bonds, four per cent,
are selling in other markets at 110.
If this thing had been done by pri
vate parties an investigation
would have been in order. Has ev
erybody got to stealing in this
Christian land of ours?
The following crop made with
four mules is given as a model for
some farmers to work up to. It
was mado by Mr. Samuel Fried
heim, of Rock Hill. On TS acres
in cotton he made 82 bales, aver
aging -1G0 pounds. He also made
GOO bushels of corn, SCO bushels
of oats, 32 bushels of wheat. 25
bushels of rye, 50 bushels of peas,
100 bushels of sweet potatoes and
2,000 pounds of pork. Mr. Fried
heimsays: "Farming is like any
other business, if managed proper
ly it. will pay.
The cotton factories will go
South in obedience to natural
laws. ?The change har. been inev
itable since the abolition cf sla
very, the advent of free- labor at
Jhe South, the creation there of a
commercial and industrial spirit
and the building of adequate lines
of transportation. The mills are
being transplanted, as one of their
managers says, because their sta
ple is grown there and because la
bor and fuel are cheaper, taxes
lower and the climate conditions
more favorable.-New York World.
Dr. Sampson Pope's petition in
Congress has bern referred by res
olution of the United States Sen
ate to Senators Butler and Irby as
to what shall be done with it.
Peop'e who know say that Senator
Butlerjwill rote "aye," and Sena
^^to?rlrby "no," producing a dead
lock which will last through all
eternity, or at least as long as
these senators remain on this
mundane sphere. It is tho first
smart thing the United States
Senate have done since they've
' been there. They have played
many a sharp trick on the people,
but this is the first sharp trick
they have played on members of
their own body. If they had ad
ded to the resolution of reference
that the afoiesaid Senators should
be fed on bread and water till they
agreed then we at home here
could have a little peace and fun.
Winter Chautauqua.
A Nacional AVinter Chautauqua
Assembly has been organized by
some of tho most distinguished
educators of the North, and Au
gusta, Georgia, chosen for the lo
cation of the Assembly. As the
summer Chautauqua was the out
growth of summer resorts ana the
necessity of correcting the idle
ness enforced thereat, so the win
ter resort side of life, developed lo
such an enormous extent at the
South, demands assembly facili
ties. Many prominent people of
all sections are interested in it and
it-will doubtless attain the success
and celebrity of the Northern
. Chautauqua. Augusta has been
chosen as thc location of the
Southern Assembly through the
instrumentality and effort of
Hugh C. Middleton, an Edgefield
% Doy.
In token of the appreciation in
which Mr. Middleton is held in
Augusta we give the following from
the Augusta Chronicle:
We want at this time, in behalf
of the people of Augusta, to ex
press tho appreciation that is felt
in the community of the daun'
less, tireless and intelligent f?'orts
of Mr; Hugh C. Middleton in be
half of Augusta, and to congratu
late him upon the progress, al
ready made wifh the National
Chautauqua. "When it shall have
become an established fact in thia
community, we shall take it upon
ourselves to see that, at the dedi
cation exercises, there shall be fit
ting and substantial recognition
of Mr. Middle:on's services in thig
great work.
Cotton Acreage in 1895.
"The question of acreage to be
put iuto cotton this year is oue thal
is now receiving a good deal ol
a'tteiition, and accompanying it
the suicidal theory is being ad
vanced that, owing to the prevail
ing low prices, the amount of cot
ton planted will be greater than
heretofore in order to make up ir
quantity what is lost in price.
.It is of course impossible tc
arrive at any accurat3 average cos)
of producing cotton in view of the
widely differing conditions prevail
ing in different parts of the South
nevertheless it is hardly to be dis
puted, that the cost in the Atlantic
States is over 6 cents per pound
and in Texas, Arkansas, and the
Mississippi bottom lands, probably
not less than 41 cents, or, an average
of probably not less than 5i to 5-j
cents at thc plantations for the
whole country. With the quotation
forjjMiddling in Liverpool 2-334d
or roughly converted into Americau
money 5-15-16 cents, in New Yorl*
for immediate delivery 5? cents, ?L
New Orleans 5 cents, and in thc
interior towns from 4\ to 4$ cents
it seems almost grotesque tba!
arguments should be put forth
that the South can afford to raise
cotton at the present prices
Doubtless the theory that one'f
neighbor will plant less may lead
some to conclude that by putting
in more they will reap the advan
tage of their neignbor's contribu
tion to the public good, but thal
any such policy should actuate
any grower of the great staple,
under present circumstances, seems
hardly capable of belief
It is with great satisfaction 11
be obseved that the President o?
the American Colton GrowerF
?ssocition is making a tour of the
Cotton States with a view of secur
ing a reduction in acrage of at least
2?c/r, which is a movement in the
right direction, and it is to be hop
ed that his efforts will be crown
ed wi!h success.
If, however, a large reduction in
acreage is to be made, the quest ion
arises, into what shall the farmers
of the South put their land, and
out of what are they to derive a
livlihood? Some of those wbo still
retain the feeling of responsibility
to those whom they employ, and
who are dependant upon them, are
apt to indulge the idea that wo'rk
must be provided for the depen
dant das?, and as there is nothing
else they can do but grow cotton,
therefore they must plant ali they
can, irrespective of the price it
brings. . .
If the figures given as to the
probable cost of raising cotton are
correct, and which, even under the
most favorable circumstances of
growth show no profit,) while, un
der less fortunate circumstances,
show a positive loss, it would seem
the part of prudence and good
judgment if the whole cotton grow
ing community should, with one
accord, reduce their acreage, not
25% but 75%, thereby joining in
an action to their best interest and
so reducing the supplies of the
world that 10 to ll cents per pound
in New York, for four or five years
to come, would be assured. By so
doing, the single season of fallow
land, if need be, would be abun
dantly recompensed in the price
for cotton to be subsequently ob
tained. The South can well afford
to do this, even at the loss that
might be entailed by the support,
without labor, of those who are
dependant upon them if such an
alternative were necessary, as the
loss entailed thereby would cer
tainly be no greater than that re
sulting from making cotton and
selling it at the "prices ruling in
the world at the present day. The
necessity for this severe contribu
tion to the enhancement of the
price of cotton in the future is not,
however, altogether apparent; for,
while it is true that cotton is the
great crop of the South, neverthe
less, when prices have reached a
level such as the present, the adop
tion of a policy of practically
growing only such crops as are
necessary to sustain life is certain
ly a reasonable one and the doing
of which does not necessarily argue
that efforts in this direction must
be confined to corn and meut.
There are many other articles
which contribute to support life
that might be grown with a net re
turn to the planter at the end of
the year fully equal to the loss en
tailed by the support of those de
pendent upon him. It is to be
hoped that this view of the castv
may be impressed upon the agri
cultural oommunity of the South,
and that the preparations for the
next crop will be on a very largely
reduced scale as compared with
that made within the past few
years; for, unless something ap
pro-idling to this in its radical na
ture is done, there is no reason to
expect that even present* rrices
will lie maintained. Airead)', Liv
erpool, which market after all is
the maker of prices fer cotton, be
ing the largest consumer, is sell
ing next crop deliveries at 3-3d,
or 6-16 cents which means not
more than 4k cents nt thn planta
tions and which price is justified
and will continue, with possibly
even still lower prices, unless the
outlook for future supplies gives
promise of a very marked reduc
tion. Nor is the making of this
price the work of gamblers and
therefore of public execration. If
we are to have another ten million
bale crop, 3-33 2^]. in Liverpool
for October-November delivery is
not unreasonable. It is b< cause of
a growing feeling that cotton can
be made and sold at 5 cents yield
ing a profit and that the South will
plant as much or more this year
than last, that such prices are made
iu Liverpool.
The remedy for the South is
within its own keeping let them
plant but 25% as much cotton as?
last year, planting the other 75%
ju such thiugs as they may, even
to allowing the land to lie fallow,
and their own salvation is at
hand."

Death of Dr. J. B. DuBose-And
the People Mourn.
A cloudier sky. and a bright j
sun hangs in the heavens this, |
noon, 17th of February, although
the earth is thickly covered with
snow, and sorrow reigns in many
households. The sad news ot' Dr.
J. B. DuBose's death in Baltimore
was received at Ridge Sring on
Saturday a.m. Tho "Iron entered
his soul" when his son, Dr. St.
Pierre DuBose, who was the daily
companion and friend as well as
the devoted son the prop of his
declining years, was in God's mys
terious providence taken from
him. Dr. DuBese has never rallied
from this blow and had by advice
of friends gone to Baltimore for
treatment. He .died after being
there only three days; his son-in
law Rev. R. W. Barnwell left on
Saturday to bring on the remains,
and his grinf stricken family are
now awaiting the home coming of |
the body of their tender, loving,
aud well beloved father. Most of]
the Ridge community mourns the |
loss of the faithful physician, Joy
ed friend, good citizen, hightoned
and courteous gentleman gone
forever from their midst.

Pedagogue Wants to Know
Something.
MR. EDITOR: Will tho school
commissioner iuform the public
why bebas a surplus of school funds
to the amount of $6,000? Alse, if
that fund is deposited in the Far
mers bank to purchase school
checks at 90 cents on the dolla)-?
Also, if the bank divides the coin
with the school hoard.
The former commissioner used
some of that fund to p;.y dissatis
fied district, or in other words, to
use for a corruption fund. Kow
des this fund accumulate? Will
the present commissioner please
publish for several proceeding
years the amount appropriated to
Edgefield County by the state
board? and, elsa the amount the
commissioner appropriates to the
districts? We shall not only call
the attention of the grand jury to
this matter but we shall have a
good deal to say in the papers un
less a satisfactory answer is given
followed by a distribution of this
money to the children of the coun
ty.
PEDAGOGUE.
Some Good Advice Given hy a
Close Observer ol* Men and
Things.
EDITOR ADVERTISER: I com
mend our Supervisor for deciding
to work the public highwaj's un
der the old law. I think his deci
sion is favored by a large majori
ty of the people, The old law is
sufficient to keep the roads in good
condition. All that is lacking is
good overseers, aud they can be
easily remedied by the Supervisor
having all of them fined who do
not obey orders and come to time.
If that was done they would then
begin to dance to the tune played
aud have the roads worked right
It is a disgrace to the State and
counties that enough men can't
be had for overseers who will do
their duty and have the public
roads well worked. Wake up men
of Carolina, turn over a new leaf
and begin to do better and get out
of the slothful way you have been
doing business. Nine-tenths of
the people are more able to do the
work than pay the compound, the
law requires in lieu of work. It is
true hands that are liable to road
duty can work out their time un
der the new Jaw, but here UK
trouble comes in. If a contractor
was to call on them any time from
first of April to latter part of July
they could not possibly leave the
farm to do the work required of
them on public roads. Under the
old law overseers can warn out the
hands and have the roads worked
before busy time in the early part
of the year, and then again in Au
gust and fall of the year, and in
terfere very little with their farm
work. This is one advantage the
old law has over the new law, in
regard to working out time on the
road. The county is too poor to
pay road tax, aud a levy ought not
to be made. Taxes are already too
high, they oppress the people.
Rigid economy is what iva need
and all salaries ought to be reduc
ed, and Int office holders share, in
part, the hard times with the
masses of the people.
TOO MANY COLLEGES.'
There are too many coll'-g^s for
the people to support these hard
times, as their financial abilities
are weak, but we need more com
mon schools in reach of the peo
ple in tho place of so many col
leges, that are not much benefit to
the poor classes. I think tho Slate
is over-doing the thing m the way
of colleges, considering its fi
nances, and it is high time to call
a halt in that direction. I am not
opposed'tocolleges, provided the
State was abb? to support them,
but do not believe in the Stale be
ing oppressed by taxation foi col
leges that only benefit a few who
are able to al lend them and nine
tenths derive no benefit at all be
cause they are too poor lo enter,
but never-the-less they are taxed
to support them. I favor a further
reduct iou of salaries, and every
thing else possible, to curtail the
expenses of State and conn ry and
run them hythe closest economy j
and any member at the next nieet
ingrof Ihn Legislature who dops
not. work for the above suggestion
onght never to be sent back again,
but let him retire to private life
and rest from his labors.
THE SMALL GRAIN CKOP.
The oat crop is nearly all de
stroyed by thc cold wave," it is im
possible for any oats of conse
quence to be made this year, which
will make times very hard-on poor
farmers. I don't see how they are
to live if they do not raise their
meat and bread at home.
SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR.
It is an impossibility for farm
ers to raise c.-tton at present prices
and buy meat corn and flour. Eve
rything that farmers use they
ought to make at home. If this
was done thev would not need so
much money to live on,, less cot
ton would then be made, and much
better prices realized for what was
made. The farmer would then be
gin to prosper and make some
money, and if he would work
steady six days in the week, in
stead of four as he now generally
works, he would make more mon
ey still. A great many men do not
make any manure of consequence
at home during the fall and win
ter and what is dropped about
their lois let that waste and wash
away, and not do much work of
any sort, and then iu the spring of
of the year go and buy guano. I do
not wonder at such farmers being
in bad financial circumstances and
cannot pay their debts.
. MERCHANTS IN THE SOUP.
Most of the merchants are near
ly run down, aud not able to help
the farmers, if they were 60 dis
posed, and in most cases through
out tlie country the farmers are to
blame for it, by buying tia much
and working too little. Now who
will they look to for help? The
farmers have loaded the merchant
down with worthless paper, and
cursed him because they did not
get along belter n the world,
while Ibu farmer himself was to
blame. Tho banks in country
towns are loaded with un negotia
ble pap-r they can't collect, and
where is relief for farmers lo come
from?

Thc Georgia Scenes, A Book Ev
ery Edgefield Eoy Should
Kcad.-"Semplironiciw"
Delighted Witto Its
Quaint and Queer
. Olia Podrida.
Will the reader pardon a few
thoughts (jut of the usual order of
newspaper correspondence? There
is no pleasanter task tbaii delving 1
in I he past and rummaging out
bi13 of reminiscence; especially, 1
when it deals with scenes"and ac- '?
tors in whom we have a living in
terest. ?'
Such a collection of reminis
cences is the Georgia Scenes. '
While not purporting to be a his
tory, it is in fact a history in the
truest sense of that word. It is'as
truly a hisiory of middle Ge?i-gvaT
as the ''Spectator" of Addison aird
Steele isa history of London life
in the reigns of Anne and George
I. I will suggest a few thoughts
on this quaint old book.
Middle Georgia is perhaps the
most noted sect ion in thu South.
Dear to every Southern heart,
must be the home of that match
less orator Robert Toombs; of
Alec Stephens, the brilliancy of
whose intellect, vastness of learn
ing, and keennessr.nd soundne.^sof
logic, made him the terror of ene
mies and the idol of friends; of
the seraphic Bishop Pierce and the
immortal Grady. There is a pe
culiar interest attached to the
region itself, considering its wide
spread notoriet}'.
"The Georgia Scenes" is a col
lection of sketches showing tbe
manners, customs, and character
of the people of Middle Georgia,
written by Judge A. B. Longstreet,
himself a man of wide attain
ments, who had been brought up
among just such characters as he
portrayed. Hence the scenes are
picturesque and life-like, being set
forth with the minuteness and
vividness that can come only from
an eye-wifeness.
Longstreet was one of the most
gifted men that the South can lay
claim to. Jurist, diviue, college
president, and man of letters, hu
won renown enough in any one of
these callings to satisfy the ambi
tion of a less industrious man. He
was also a man of the keenest
sense of humor and a profound
student of human nature.
Each scene is claimed to have
been witnessed by one of two his
toric characters, Dr. Lyman Hall,
one of the signers of tbe Declara
tion of Independence, or Abraham
Baldwin one of the framers of the ?
constitution. In general, Baldwiu
depicts the frivolities, petty rival
ries of men and especially women
in the higher circles. Dr. Hall on !
I he contrary relates the foibles,
gnarled prejudices, robust exer
cise.?, r.nd hardy games of the com
mon people. Society and its small
talk was Baldwin's delight; men
and sylvan sports were Hall's
forte. Of course the whole Illing
was Longstreet's own work, but
there seems to have been :i dis! inc
ti.m that he okserved in using
these tinnies. These skelohes are
speciul'y iitler^sliiig tu Smith Car
olinians from the fact that the jiu
thor was for awhile the president
of the old South Carolina College
-a position the most diguified
and influential in the State at that
time.. And furthermore, the book
attained wide popularity in ante
bellini) days among our people:
many of its expressions and names
passing into our political par
lance.
1 will no;iee only iwo scenes out
of a great number equally inter
esting. The first is styled the
"el bating society." This givesns
a picture of the debating society j
in the famous Academy of Dr.
Waddel, where some of our mosti
famous r?en were educated. The
two leading debaters of HUP socie
ty were the author of tba scene
and the groat orator McDuf?ie-\
theil two school-boys: Mci)?Hiv
i:> cul] McDonnell, and Longstreet
ha? liiis to suv of him : "He was r.
mau of the high*Pl ordur cf intel
lect," who, though he bas since bo-j
como known throughout the union
as one of ihe ablest speakers of j
the. country,'seems to me to have
added utile to his powers of de
bute since his twenty-second year/'
Th? author and McDuffie wishing
to puzzle the oth^r members, com
posed this subject of debate;
" Whether at public elections
suould tho vote of factions predom
inate by internal euggesiionb or
the bias of jurisprudence." This
isa jargon of words, utterly devoid
of meaning, yet seeming to present
a subject for discussion. The
scene is filled with attempts of
members to make something out
of this subject and their failure,
together with the very meaning
less speeches of the two who got
the query up, and ends up the .
ludicrous affair by the president
throwing up a knife to make a de- .
cisi?n.
But the crowning glory of the ,
whole book is Rancy Sniffle. His
name alone sheds a halo of im- I
mortality around these queer, dc- 1
lightful scenes. The master's hand j
is everywhpre seen throughout this ?
capital delineation of the meddler,
news-tattler, and fun-maker.
Shakespeare has re-produced the 1
typical money-shark in the person
of Shylock, and the typical brag
gart in Jack Falt6afT; Dickens has
given us the personification of
hypocrisy in Pecksniff, but neither
bas represented the "busybody" {
so accurately and with eucbjbumor
as Longstreet does in Rancy. ]
The circumstance se-ving as a \
hack-ground lo this figure is a
fight. Every event of this inter
resting scene is sketched with a -
master hand. .
Rancy wus a thin ciayearing '
fellow "from the red gullies of
Richmond," who throve only in i
blackberry time, and whose great- I
est delight was to keep all thc r
mischief iu the seulement from r
stagnating. When lie found mil v
lhere was bad blood between two t
neighbors, he was in a fever of ex- {
ci temen t until he brought things j
to a crisis. Billy and "Bob the two
bullies of a criaio district were
brought together iu a light-by his .
instrumentality. The greater par!
of the scene is a description of the
fight that ensued, in which Bob
licked Billy. lainey Sniffle be-i
came a name for busybodies of all j
kind after the publication of th s
book.
If space permitted. I might dis
cuss the cha meter? of Ned Brae,
George Baldwin's ?wife, and many
others scattered throughout these
rambling scenes. This is a book
that should not perish in the dusts
of time; for it embalmed and
transmitted a knowledge of the
customs,- habits, and nfodes of
thought of the fathers of a genera
tion of orators, jurists, men of
letters, statesmen, and warriors.
