Mackey.-Thomas J. Mackey? late Captain of C. S. A., is writing; for The Peterson Magazine, a new life of George Washington, the Citizen, the the Soldier.the Statesman, the Patriot.'' '?'tie first instalment appeared in the June number of Peterson. Judge Mackey is admirably qualified for such work. So far the chapters are written in the highest style of the literary art. Ths illustrations are pro fuse and elegant and the story grows in interest with each successive instal ment. Peterson is a monthly of the high standard, has a corps of able con tributors ard only costs one dollar a year." We bet Mackey doesn't know that George Washington was ever in Edge field, that he took dinner at the Pine House, and fou idered his horse be tween Ward.s md Ric"ge Spring. And yet this is the record over George's own signature. Two Edgefield Boys. From a recent issue of the Confed erate Veteran, Nashville, Tenn., we copy the following, aud as it relates to two Edgefield boys, boys at the time, the one living and the other dead, it will prove of interest toEdge tield people : "During the night of the first days fight at Trivillians, Va., Whitfield Brooks and John Green, privates of Company li. 6th Regiment Cavalry of S.C., went off from their Regiment; butin the morning of the second day, Sunday, 12th June 1864 rejoined their command, having captured three Fed erals a Lieutenant and two others. Brooks had the squad and the Lieu tenant's sword in his posesssion. When I Genl. M. C. Butler was told of the cut off of these two men, he replied : "They are from Edgefield, and will turn up all right," which was the case. Late Sunday evening, the second day, Brooks was killed. He was a nephew of Hon. Preston S. Brooks, member of Congress from S. C., Ile was a mere lad when Killed not 19-a braver boy never went to battle. VKTUAX. Personal Mention.

To George Johnstone "B. M. E. R. Buzzard's Meat Exceedingly Re freshing." Georgp, I am forced to think those letters which form the tail part of your name are a sort of sly advertisement to your butch er's shop in which is sold that com modity you so dearly love. "Geo. Johnstoue's buzzard meat is the best to be had"-eo the dogs and feline ramblers say. He can fur nish you anything from tender, de licious gosling flesh to the steak of a venerable: patriarch who has been rex convioii at many a spread. Give Georgie a call ; that what sot him to writing for the papers. His trade was slim and he wanted io advertise. Not having as he says "de necessary free coined sil ver ter du 1? wid," he wants his dear friend "Sem" to give him a boost (free) through the corres pondence columns of the ADVER TISER. This is what this dear fool has beou trying to beg me to do in his two letters addressed to me. He also offers me some advice in return for the "boom" I wa6 to give him. He has been a little inconsistent aud mealy mouthed in his advice but I'm suro the good people of Edgefield will look over this failing of his-ho'n such a dear innocent, inoffensive crea ture. Why he would'nt harm a red-bug in blackberry time. Geo. isas nimble in his heelsasacayotte of the Great Waste. When a man is awakened in the dead of night by this prowler's gnawing his b..ot heels, saddle, etc., and picks up a club to frail him, all to be seen is two pairs of long lags, two flop ears, and a "jinted" tail making a streak for the woods. Exactly so with George; every lime I reach out fer his collar, he slinks away. His life is as full of trouble as that of tbi poor school teacher depic ted by Bill Snooks after the piece cr me out in the ADVERTISER. Don't you think Bill Snooks wrote that piece a little too soon, George : wouldn't it have been better to have wait ;d'till his time was out ? George the first time you wrote, 1 thought you were an Edgefield man, but I'm glad you aint: her dear old soil would spurn such a son. George m}r "two minutes" assertions seemed to stick you. It was a rankling thoru in your flesh. What hurt you was that you knew I was telling the truth. "I hab never seen you," Bosh ! George I never had a fight in my life, but I can take a gal baby from its mammy's arms and make it run you out of 3'our bide. I know who you are. Yes; I have worried the good readers of the ADVERTISER. l 'ad mit that in sack cloth and ashes. I humbly beg their pardon. But I worry such spittoon-cleaners as you ten times more than I worry them, You say I steal my views from somebody else. Maybe so, but I never was so close run as to steal them from a rival-all your trumpery about Rausey Sniffle was stolen from my article on "Georgia Scenes"-your brain never rises higher than your stomach ; hence you've got to filch or go without. You say I'm trying to get into politics, aud you lie. Does a politician antagonize something he knows to be popular? Did'nt I fight woman's suffrage? Did'nt I take a position on a question last winter I knew to be unpopular? Just because I don't tote a slick pants seat around like YOU, you need'nt think I'm devoid of com mon sense. If I wanted to get into politics, I'd keep my mouth shut, and agree with everybody (but Goff and Cleveland.) You ask me when I got to be a reform er. Well, when Capt. B. R. Till man was editor of the Alliance column in the ADVERTISER. While I have'nt swallowed everything the reformers have put up, I have al ways called myself a reformer. But you a reformer! You are a ten cent coat hanger. You say I'm liable "ter git fertigued." Y?P, running something down to get to beat it is very fatiguing, and I'd have that to do. You are a little hairpin-legged, red-shoed, long haired dude who weighs 120 lbs. and wears big breeches. If I'd give your breeches, a kick, the air in them would collapse like a shot gun. You could'nt stamp the tail feathers out of a decent bantam rooster. You say you're "in luv" that's always been your fix, but "de debbie ob it is thisluving" has always been on one side. George don't you remember that time you found a girl's handker chief and returned it with a beau tiful poem-when the old man was hunting the poet with a club, how you denied the authorship with the most sacred oachs? Ah! the days of auld langsyns! George I'm glad to know that at last yo've got something that suits you bet ter than teaching, i. e. spittoon cleaning-its better than I thought you would ever do. It'll pay bet ter than making poetry and aping a nigger. George did you think 1 would'nt recognize you? I've heard you spit out all those funny things thousands of times, you'd better try your hand on a stranger next time, maybe you caD bluff him. Now George, if you're not the man I'm thinking of and want to let out any "wine" go ahead.

When you cali rock-ribbed reform er you'd better leave your meat shop in good hands-you might never get back to it. George, as thia is the first time you've ever been in a newspaper spat, you need sympathy. I don't waut any; as the readers of tho ADVERTISER know, I've got used to abuse and cussin from pop-guns long ago. Let this injunction of Solomon sink deep into your heart: "Who so passeth by and meddleth with strife is like him that taketh a dog by the ears."

She. think ing he had committed suicide, got up and went to look for him and as she thought found hjm; but it was not he, it was a log and he is still alive. She says she could not sleep that night for thinking of the dead dude. We all enjoyed our barbecue last Saturday. The dudes shook their feet and bowed tbei: h^de to the "Queun" and went homo with light hearts. Look out dudes, for four in a hill are too many for one runner.

OIi the Roads thc Abominable Roads-rAlmost Impassable Barely Jackassble. EDITOR EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER : DEAR SIR : By your permission I send some thoughts-on the sub ject of roads, I do uot know of auy subject at this time that is of more importance and that affects the public weal more than this. With your permission I also in vite a discussion on this subject through your paper, not that I ex pect to throw any great light on it myself, but I want to start the ball rolliug. I am in favor of worki?g the roads by taxation and by contract and I believe if the issue were made in Meriwether Township to da) I would win. I say, without fear of contradiction, that it costs the people more to work the roads under the present system than it would by direct taxation, that is if you take into consideration the condition of the roads at this time and grant that we will uever have better onos under this system, which I can prove. Why sir we have no reads at all in some places ; they are a disgrace tous., I was in Augusta Georgia a short" while ago and wanted to hire a horse and buggy to come home. I inquired of a stableman if I could abtain them and he said no sir \ve cant let our teams go through your country you have no roads there. Now the nature of our soil is not the cause of this condition of our roads. It is the slip-shod way that we work them. If they were properly shaped up, making them wide enough where now too narrow, arching them to the mid dle, straighting the ditches, mak ing the ditches d*ep and wide enough to hold the water and car ry it off, making the road-bed high enough for the water to drain and seep into the ditches, aud worked in dry weather they would get almost as bard as a brick and stay so. Instead of that what do we find? We find that most of the work is done when the ground is too wet. The ditches above the road bed so crocked that any trash that might fall in them would clog them up and cause the wa ter to flow into the road and either hlay there and make it boggy or carry the dirt all out of it; and the worst feature of it all is thal nearly every overseer will postpone the working until it is a.matter of impossibility for him to put the road in any sort of shape even though they were to work the whole time required bylaw. Let me say right here I hat, I don't see that we have any usc for a County Supervisor under the present system, nor would we have any if the roads were let by con tracts. I don't mean to cast any reflection ou Mr. Whittle when I say this either. But under other system the township boards could elect their chairman and those so elected would form the county boards as they do now. That board could elect a permanent chairman to preside over their meetings call them together au do any thing else that the County Supervisor could do' except draw his salary; Iherehy savin? that eigb' hundred dollars that we would ha\e to pay him. Operate this way together with the convict ! ii bor of the county put on the roads or buy some improved ma chinery to work them with. The public has received but little good from the work of the Supervisor or oldCounty Commissioners either as to roads. About all they have done was to appoint overseers, put a little notice in the papers warn ing them to work the roads by a certain time, telling them to throw out all loose rocks, cut off all over banging limbs and such stuff as that. They make big mistakes about building bridges, and worse ones in letting them out, in buying new roads at big prices, when the old ones could have been worked for less money, and made better roads, and by jiireing a clerk and attorney paid by the county as I understand it, to help them to do it. Now, Mr. Editor, I hope Borne one else will take up this question of road8 and keep it a-going until we can have better roads. It ought to be kept before ''the people from now until next summer when can didates will appear on the scene for legislative honors, and make them take it up and discuss it, and tell us what they intend to do about it if elected to represent us. We can have good roads if we will only try. Let us all work together and never tire until we do get bet ter roads. L. Ropers, S. C.
