Let us patronize this old and honored institution. Revs. P. P. Blalock and G. ll. Bur ton have been conducting a series of meetings at the Baptist church at Troy. Mr. Jno. K. Tompkins has been se lected as the Secretary of I he Edge field Cotton Mills now in process of erection and construction. The Kev. G. W.

Mr. Joe Ouzts has tlie contract for sawing a part of the lumber for the Edgetield eotton mill. Mr. Jasper Rush is to furnish the heavy timbers. We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Wof ford College which appears in this is sue. This is one of our best and most popular colleges. Protracted meetings are being held in various portions of the county. A very interesting one is going on in our village Methodist church. It is stated that the number of cot ton spindles in Georgia and the Caro linas has increased 200 per cent since 1S92 as against 5 per cent increase in Massachusetts. Mr. E. J. Norris is soon to erect a handsome residence opposite Mr. R. IT. Mims's in north Buncombe, hav ing exchanged his south Edge tield purchase for the building thereof. The Edgetield Institute opens on Monday September 2nd. There will be no charge whatever for tuition du ring the months of the public school term. See announcement in another column. Hicks lias predicted three storm pe riods for August. The lirst was to have come and did come iron: the 1st to tlie 4th. The second, the 14th to 16th; the last, from the 2Sth to the 27th. There will be local cloud bursts and much wind. Sow rye and crimsen clover in your cotton, especially paames near the IIOUM'. This will noe only improve the laud but alford pasturage a..d forage for cutting in the winter and early spi ag. In the Big Creek section of this, county so much fodder will be made this year that there will not be vorn stalks enough to hold it. What is to be done about il? Where is the states man to solve this problem? We are requested to announce by the President of the Big Creek club and the managers of election at that box, that on the day of the primary election after four votes had been cast, the report came that Col. R. B. "Watson had declined to make the race, otherwise he would have received probably all the votes aast at that box. We beg tocal! the attention of our readers to the advertisrment of the Leesville College in this issue. This institution is eo-educational, and of fers tine advantages to both sexes to secure that inestimable boom-an ex cellent education. I have been instructed by Mr. R. L. Fox to say to our patrons, that in or der to make room for fall stock which will br complete in every detail, we will sell anything in our line, except Waterbury Watches, at a discount ol' 25 pe-.* cent. GEO. F. M IMS. A great deal of rico has been plant ed in Edgetield County, that is to say, a great ninny people have planted a lit?le; and just as anticipated, the yielil of this cereal throughout the country promises to be twice as much as ever before in the history of rice culture. Ten millions bushels is the estimate. During: last week the following teachers and others attended the Tea'-hers Institute at this place: Misses Genie Fair, Minnie Lanham, Sudie Davis, Gertie Strom, Roper, Ola Adams, Watley, Mamie Lake, Sophie Swearingen, May Dozier, Sallie Do zier, Charlton Dozier, Hettie Shep pard, Carrie Sheppard, Cornelia Jones, Mamie Norris, Fleming, Hart, Dubois, Seigier, Holstein, Aycock, Harris.

The difference between Pills and .Simmons Liver Regulator, is just this: Pills don't go down very easy with most people, and you feel them after wards. While Simmons Liver .Regu lator in liquid of powder is very pleas ant to take, and the only feeling that you have afterwards is the great re lief that it gives from Constipation, Biliousness, Sick Headache and Dys pepsia. It is a mild laxative and a tonic. Lan ier-Lcgget t. One of Pittsburg'* fair and popular young ladies Miss Ada Leggatt, and one of Charleston's accomp 1 i s h e d young men J. F.

This year is rather hard but times are bound to improve, ami with the returning prosperity, prices must advance. The customer who buys now and gets the benefit of both the times and the reduction in rates, can safely say he gets a good deal out of it. lt is a pleasure to announce some thing in the way of business, after the long talk about the hardtimes, which is like unto the good days of the past. Is there any reason for keeping up the moan? We think not, when Ramsey & Bland are offering better bargains in quality and better displays in quanti ty than have before been seen in wag ons, buggies, harness, furniture and coth'ns and caskets. The Crops. As a sample of what the crops arc in Edgelield County we give the follow ing as told us by John Carpenter, who lives near Old Wells, taking the crops as tiley come between his home and Edgelield : "Henry Wise-Good corn, pe is high and line, cotton low. J. B. Norris-Corn line except one old negro's field in which John says he will pull the fodder too soon, that is to say, before the corn gets on the stalks. Albert s. Miller-Corn, best I ever saw, cotton line. O. Li. Miller-Corn, excellent, but I lear he is ruining Iiis land witli pease, pease in the middle, pease in the row, and has just finished sowing 'em broadcast all over creation. S. T. Hughes-Corn and cottoii good sure enough ; pease small and few in a hill. Old Julius Day Place-Elegant caops of both corn ami cotton. Joan Miller-All crops excellent. Mrs. Bettis-Plenty of cotton, not much corn but that good. Mrs. Hatcher-Tip-top corn and cot ton. Jim Miller-All cotton, but there must be good corn and plenty of it somewhere oil' the road, I never knew a Miller to buy corn, did you? Walter Miller-Best corn on the road, cotton good. Best new-ground corn 1 ever saw, ears as long as the rams horns that blew down thc walls of Jericho Foster Cheatham-Good corn and pease, pinders, and potatoes in full measure, also a sunilower patch. O. O. Burnett-The best of every thing, an excellent all-round farmer. Thence to Edgelield-Skippance.'' Association Committees.

A '-, GERMAN CORRESPONDENCE Once More Into the Breach. I have much to do-much to keep in peace This waspish, wrong head, scribling race. First Dido came, the nicest, cf them all : George Johnston whooped and straightway burst his gall. But Pedagogue-he cusses, snorts, and cries; He yells, he weeps, and then sneaks off and dies. Sam Jones says, "The hit dog hollers and the harder the lick the louder he hollers." My friend sa.^ s that I am ignorant of history. I don't den\' it, but I have man aged to learn thoroughly the histo ry of a certain self-sacrificing hero who has devoted his life to the service of his county and State. Being a young man I naturally looked around for some model to shape my course by. I could find no better one than the career of the ?inmortal Pedagogue. His course can be truced in a track of continuous light [rora his birth to the present hour. He once even offered Ul sacrifice himself to his county by becoming schcol com missioner, but old Edgefield did not want her most famous BOU thus to bury his light under a bushel and did not accept this unprece dented, sacrifice. He wanted to martyr himself, again ehe said no : he was importunate, she firm. Since then he has served her (and without pay too!) by scrutinizing with a jealous eye all the actions of her county officers since that time and raises a bow-wow and rumpus at every move. In the words of Hugh Farley, "He is tit only to raise Cain and keep hell a-hrewing all the time." But Pedagogue wants to be call ed a reformer. Faugh! Pedagogue would read me a lecture in man ners. If he wishes me to lollow his precepts be should have set un example worthy of my imitation. Dick Steele sayf?, "There is noth ing ginns so much reputation for a preacher as practising." Instead of Pedagogue's exhibiting, his lamblike courtes}', he opens the windows of his wrath and pours forth such a stream of vitupera tive filth that his article fairly reeks with it, even in print. They say that a man always resorts to cursing when he is iu the wrong on any subject and gets pinned to the earth in a controversy. I do uot say it in a boasting mo^d, but get every liue I have written and compare, and if I hav'nt kicked every single prop from under him then cuss me for a nigger. He virtually gives up the fortress in his last piece for he does'nt say a syllable about the question at is sue. He merely dabs about and picks out what he thinks to be weak points and spews his saliva over them. Pedagogue, the theologians tell us that antipathy to the Bible arises from two causes: A de praved, enfeebled, besotted, nar row, shallow intellect or a base, black, crime-steeped heart, re sulting from an evil life. Whence comes yotw fear? You wish to wash your hands of the dear old ADVERTISER just because a few of us boys have been a little rough through her columns-to wash your bauds of the paper which has "borne with your infirmaties all the year, and through whose col umns your misanthropy has found vent, under various aliases, for twenty years. "Ingratitude ! thou marble-hearted fiend, more hide ous than sea monster!" A man who puts on record a vile oath talking about mud throwing and sarcasm ! Pedagogue talks as if I had a clique of backers ready to -?ounce him at any time; I wouh.. . in sult my friends bv asking them to join me in an attack on such a pig my as he. He lays the cause of the dark ages at the door of the Catholic church. A man who has the least smattering of historical knowledge will laugh at thiis child's talk. On the contrary, the Catholic church kepi: alive the spark of learning and civilization through tho gloom of that dreadful night which settled like a pall Over hu manity after the fall of the Ro man empire. The Goths and Van dals had more todo with bringing on the dark ages than any other cause. Pedagogue has abandoned the field of argument and hopes to lead oft" the controversy to the low plane of crimination and re crimination. I don't claim to be equal in this respect to the mud battery of Big Creek, the puissant dominie, Pedagogue. My friend's objection to clergy men's teaching in public schools can be applied with equal force to their holding college professor ships. Will any one say that the sainted Drs. Smith, Maxcy, Basil Manly, Barnwell-men who sac rificed themselves to forward the cause of college education-were "in it for the money"? The preach er's business is primarily to teach. In ?ospect to the allegation that our denominational colleges incul cate sectarianism, I will quote a few words spoken by Rev. W. W. Daniel, one of the ablest preachers in the M. E. Conference, an alumnus of Newberry College. He spoke the words in an alumni symposium not two months ago. "I want to testify to the absolute misectarian?nn of tho course of study in my alma mater. I was a HB rup System md, unless a Fertilizer containing a i. Better crops, a better soil, and a ie expected. :," a 142-page illustrated book. It farmers. It will be sent free, and ddress, KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau Street, New Vork. (Methodist when I entered her ?walls, when I left them I was a Methodiststill." I don't suppose our other denominational colleges are to be ou1 done even in liberal ity. Pedagogue compared me to one Icarus. Let him rip. He is B. liv ing image of old Diogenes, who toted a tub about with him to sit in and growl and whine and snarl and bewail at everything coming under his notice. Get out of your tub, friend, and let nature's sweet sunshine dispel the darkness and fanaticism from the gloomy cav erns of your mind. SEMPHRONICUS. P. S. It's high time that Peda gogue should 6ay something about Cock Robin and his glorious death-this is ooe of his old "gags" and standbys. S. HIGH JINKS OF A TIME. A Subscriber Writes to Tell About a Picnic in an Oak and Hickory Grove That Told the Talc of Many Years Past, and is Still at it. ME. EDITOR: Please allow mc space in your paper-c. paper lhat battles for tooti people and puts bad ones in the soup-to record a picnic (record ic the word) at Mr. CO. Mayson's on Saturday the 27th July. The flatform was built in a beautiful oak and hickory grove while I hey told the tale of many years past (and they are still tell ing it.) There was a well of as good water as ever fluttered through the dark unfathomed cave of old ocean to add to the comfort of the people. The dancing commenced al 10 a. m.. the music being furnished h\' Messrs. Joe and Wi 11 ie Cart ledge, and it was as good as a water mi ll in. Mr. Joe Cartledge used the very same identical fiddle that the Rev. John Traj?n learned on. When they began lo play it Hash ed lighting to the heels of many that thought least of dancing; (or as Tam O'shanter says put life and mettle in their heels.) Refreshments were furnished by Charlie Wrenn, consisting of ice cold lemenade, sarsaparilla, and soda-water. The young ladies present were as pretty as beauty could make them and as charmiug as beautiful. Many young men went home with hearts that nothing can alleviate but the right hand of matrimony (we believe she is right-hander]) extended to them by some ol these young ladies. There were visitors from Edge field, Abbeville, and Beaufort, the right-hand of courtesy was ex tended to all. Perfect order pre vailed, everybody enjoyed the day aud went home rejoiciug of the feast. May the sun of prosperity, tem pered by breezes from the isles of the blest, blowing over mountains of ice-cream ever shine upon these people. SUBSCRIBER. George Johnstone Airain. Hon.

And a Tribute to the Delegates Elected. EDITOR ADVERTISER : Allow me to thank'n}' friends in all parts of the county for the liberal vote given me in the recent election. While I am satisfied I was de feated by the false report circula te 1 that I am opposed to a home stead exemption, yet I feel that it is no discredit to be defeated by such men as are elected. Look at the six delegates elect; a State Senator, a Lieut.-Governor, an Ex Congressman, a Congressman, and two Ex-Governors-one of the latter United States Senator. In view of this array, the large vote I received is accepted as gratify ing evidence of the confidence of the people, and I congratulate them and the gentlemen elected on the fact, that Edgefield will have, not only the ablest delega tion in the Constitutional Con vention, but. probably the ablest that any county in tho State has ever sent to any assembly.
