Once upon a time not many moons ago, an Edgefield merchant became in volved in his business matters and finally broke, kicked the financial bucket, so to speak. In talking to S im Taylor of tba catastrophe, this mer chant remarked to him incidentally. "Sam 1 am broke, I haven't anything left IIOW but my conscience." Sam made no audible response but fell over backwards into the Dispensary cellar and when he struck the bottom com menced to cry as though his heart would break. ''What is the matter Sam" some one asked. "Oh said Sam, I am crying for that poor man; he is too poor lo live, he says he has lost ev erything but his conscience and that puts him in a worse lix tuan the widow spoken of in ancient times who had nothing in the world she could call her own, except one single, solitary di vorced chicken mite," and Sam still weeps, on the sly, when he ttl i II ks of the poor man who had lost everything hut his conscience, v.'c aro requested to anuounce that tile Hon. Geo. I">. Tillman and Gov. Sheppard will speak af. the cam paign meeting at this place on next Saturday the27th instant. The Hog-eye Mun.

In speaking of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Kev. G. \V. Bussey's pastorate of the Parks ville Baptist churcn, the Baptist Cou rier has the following pleasant words of pastor and people : ''We congratulate Bro. G. AV. Bus sey and his people on the happy cir cumstances which brought them to gether last Sunday at Parksville. Com paratively lew persons are permitted to celebrate a twenty-tifth anniver sary-of their pastorate, and the breth ren of Parksville, Ked Hill and Red Oak Grove churches did right to ob serve Hie occasion in an appropriate manner. We regret that we could not be present to enjoy, with pastor and people, the delightful services. We do not see why Bro. Bussey should not remain on his present field the rest ol' his days, except that he would do re markably weil in a number of places that would be glad to have him pastor. The Kdgetield people have been for tunate to hold him, and he has been one of the most useful men in the State. And, bf it said to their credit, he has been the happy pastor of a no ble people.

Fuller of Batesburg has been for some weeks giving his views on the best management of the dif ferent grades in school teaching. It seems as if Mr. Fuller is having all the "fun" to himself ; hence let me otter a suggestion or two. People will differ in opinion, and it is necessary that it should be so. because variety is the life of society. 1 beg to suggest that no fourth render ever be used in school. Why not take up the study of history in its stead, and thereby kill two birds with one stone? After the pupil bas read throu??h the third reader he or she is supposed to be able to read very well, and then the teacher needs to begin storing the pupil's mind with knowledge, while, at the same time, learning to read is going on. Do not use a text book which would be so difficult to read as to deprive the pupil of the proper ap preciation of the subject treated, and I feel safe in saying he would learn to read faster, appreciate more, and have his mind develop ed to a higher degree. Time is the most valuable property one can possess in this short lile, and we must take this into consideration in our schools where it is more pre cious than anywhere else. Again, I beg to differ from Mr. Fuller on the subject of teaching language. My observation has been that the best way to learn any art is through its correlative science. Some may say, "learn your art by practice, or learn io do by doing." But how much could a man learn in a lifetime, if he had to do over and ever everything he learned? Now the use of our lan guage is an art, and English gram mar is its correlative science; therefore the conclusion is, that the best way to leam the ari of using our language is lb rough the study of English grammar. I have not S..C11 Tarbell's Language Les sons, but, if they are put up in about the same way as some 1 have seen, they would only Berve as a ?

A< GERMAN ] dead lift to the memory and clog the child's mind with a quantity of indigestible menial food. Give the child mental indigestion, and you do for the mind what physical indigestion does for the body. The child eau not memorize enough correct English sentences to serve his purpose. If Mr. Tarbell intro duces, in a mild form, the subject of grammar, and gives the child some reason why he should use one expression instead of another, the work may serv J the purpose, but if no reason is given the mem ory is overtaxed, and the child be comes disgusted. I agree with Mr. Fuller that the memory is one of the first faculties to develop-and a good memory is desirable-but the reason, that faculty of the hu man mind which differentiates it from all oth< r creation, should n- ver be subordinated to the mem ory. As early as possible the child should be taught the reason of things, and then be interrogated concerning the faith that is in him. Finally, I ?lo not believe stand ard literature should be taught as early as Mr. Fuller suggested. What good does Mr. Fuller hope for the child to get from this Blady in the fourth grade? What end does lie hope to attain? Does he mean for the child to?r*?ad it mere ly for an historical enjoyment? If so, why not use any simple story, whether it be in standard litera ture, a newspaper, or anything else? To stud}' standard literature successfully require? more accom plishments then one might think of at first thought; certainly more than the child has at the age and mental development, that Mr. Ful ler would have him begin. I have been under the in pres sion that one studied the works of a literary author for I he purpose nf absorbing to some degree his style and enjoying the dexterity with which he u-es our language. We must try to put ourselves in the same state of mind with the author and see things a*: he saw tin-in. We must be able to define the words he uses and see tn? rela tion between the words. What does ?,he child in the fourth grade com-! prehend about style when the wisest man in the land cannot define it. At least one must know English grammar and have some knowledge of rhetoric before he eau get much more from literatu-e than a mere historical story. J. D. DUNOVANT. Big Creek Items. MK.

A Very Dignified, Manly, and I*jitriotic Card from Governor Sheppard. MR. EDITOR: Having been announc ed as a suitable person to represent, the County of Edgefield in the Constitu tional Convention soon to convene, it is my duty to say to my fellow-citi zens, that the conditions by which I am surrounded make it utterly impos sible for roe to undertake a canvass of the county. On account of this fact, it bas occur red to me that I should decline the nomi nation altogether; but many friends, among Conservatives and Re formers alike, whose advice I have no disposition to ignore, and whose re quest I have no right to disregard, have urged, that in an emergency such as that which now confronts the Slate, it is tbe privilege of the people to call upon any man in their midst fortbebest service in his power to render, and that duty demands a cheerful response to such call. ' am indebted to the people of Edge field for numerous and various mani festations of confidence, and kindly consideration in the past, it is roy ex pectation that my fortunes, and those of my children, shall be linked with their own in the future; and hence have neither the right, nor the incli nation, to place myself beyond the reach of their call. My record is be fore the people; they know whether or not I have been worthy of the hon ors which they have bestowed upon me. If in the past I have served them with such fidelity aud efficiency as to i nd uci' them again to assign to me a post, ol'duty, it will berny purpose to perform the duties thereof so as to de serve the confidence reposed in me. On the contrary, if the people prefer ;ed Soils ? ir and better crops by the Potash. ," a 142-page illustrated book. It farmers. It will be sent free, and ddress, A (CALI WORKS, 93 Nassau Street. New York. ^ the services of others of my fellow citizens in the Constitutional Conven tion, I shall neither complain, nor feel a pang of disappointment. Certainly no man, who adequately appreciates the gravity of the responsibility inci dent to the framing of the fundamen tal law-whereby the rights of the people are to be guarded and their liberties so' hedged about by consti tutional limitations as to be safe alike from the designs of the demagogue and the despot-would hesitate to be relieved of all such responsibility. I commit myself into the hands of the people, and will abide their judg ment. J. C. SHEPPARD. Mr. Yeldell Declines. EDITOR ADVEKTISEP. : I see that my name appears in your paper as a can didate for the constitutional conven tion. Allow me space to thank my friends for their solicitation to become, and for nominating nie as a candidate for the position of delegate LO the con vention. I appreciate the honor that would be conferred if elected, but my busi ness is such that I will have to de cline. Besides there are nine good and able citizens already in the Held. Very respectfully, AV. II. YKLDELL. Longmires, July IS, '95. UNCLE GEORGE ACCEPTS. Straightforward and from the Shoulder as Usual. To THE VoTKits OK EDOEFIELD : Numerous friends in different por tions of the County have nominated me for the constitutional Convention, without any agency of mine. In de ference to their kind wishes I write to sav thal, while I am nota candidate, and have not electioneered for the of fice, and shall not lie able to canvass for it, if the people of Edgelield think proper to elect me, 1 will cheerfully serve them to the best of my ability. As many people seem very much alarmed about white supremacy, 1 will remark that it is uot in the slight est danger, because every decent white man favors it. 1 will also observe that a larger homestead exemption for the family, and a constitutional school tax to educate the children of tbe fam ily; as well as smaller counties and much more township home rule, to gether with a county court to try mis demeanors should be provided for in the Constitution. But as I cannot now enumerate all the important fea tures which, in my judgment,ought to be embodied in fhe fundamental law, 1 will merely add that at various times during the last forty years the people of Edgetield have intrusted me with many high commissions and are fa miliar with my record asa public ser vant, and my character as a man. I hope they have not lost confidence in my capacity or integrity to represent the best interests of the State as 1 see it. Respectfully, G. D. TILLMAN. Clark's Hill, July 22, '95. Prompt and Generous. Mr. B. B Evans. Manager of the Union Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, of Portland, Maine, has received the following letters : [Copy.] THENTON, S. C., June 13th, 1895. Mr. Barnard B. Evans, Manager Un ion Mutual Life Insurance Company, Columbia, S. C : DEAK SIR : I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your company's draft in payment of policy No. 98061, being the face of policy on the life of my late husband, John C. Swearingen, for $2,500.00, less amount of premium and interest which was due company for the year 1SW, making the exact amout received $2,809.84. My husband, after having made three annual payments, defaulted on premium for 1894. The action of your company in pay ing this claim, under such conditions, is entitled to most honorable recogni tion; also for their promptness and liberality. The agreement on the policy allows the company three months after tiling of proofs in which to make the pay ment; yet, though the proofs were not filed until June Stn, your draft was received this day, June 13th, covering same. Such promptness certainly should receive cordial recognition at the hands of the insuring public, and I take great pleasure in commending the "Union Mutual" to all persons who desire to get insurance ina safe and reliable company. Yours very respectfully, Mus. ANNA T. SWEARING EN. [Copy.l TEENTON, S.C., July 9th, 1895. Mr. Barnard B. Evans, Manager Un ion Mutual Life Insurance Company, Columbia, S. C. DEAK Sin: I desire to express my appreciation ot your kindness in so promptly settling the claim of my sis ter, Mrs. Anna T. Swearingen, for life insurance in your company. It is certainly a beneficent feature of the Maine law that gives a person insured a right to collect the full amount or face of the policy for a cer tain period, less the amount, of the premium unpaid, and it should make your company very popular. Such in surance is really an investment. With best wishes for your continued success, 1 am, very truly, etc. B. IL TILLMAN. Subscribo t? tho Edgetield An VERTISUK. FOB SALE.
