"T. J. 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

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

yet this is the record over George's
own signature.
Two Edgefield Boys.
From a recent issue of the Confed

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.

CORRESPONDENCE
Seniphronicus Trees George
Johnstone in Another County.
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. If
you're too blood-thirsty tn ride

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

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.
