You don't have to pay for the store when you deal with Ramsey & Bland. The boll worm is playing havoc in the cotton Ileitis of the Mississippi valley. Ramsey & Uland say they are will ing to part with every chair in the store. M. P. Wells. Esq., is, we regret to learn, quite sick with fever at the res idenee of Mr. D. R. Durisoe.

Gaines has the contract for building a bridge over Cutfeetown creek. It is a pleasure for Ramsey & Bland to show you their goods, because they know you will get a bargain. The boll worm is doing considera ble damage to the cotton in port;ons of our county. Aud they've quit settin' out sweet potatoes at last-the people is done quit settin' 'em out. Jule Carwile made the Edgelield Chronicle of last week whiz and hum and zoon like a brand new top. Don't exert yourself if the day is very bot but simply step into Ramsey & .Bland's cool store and order a nice bed room suit. John Ware has secured two elegant tonsorial artists in his barber shop who are as anxious to please as are patrons to be pleased. Hold on to a good thing when you lind it. This is why so many of Ram sey and Bland's customers are old friends.

Mrs. Shaffer, by her untiring ellorts has already raised the money to pur chase a beautiful cornet for the Bap tist choir. Mr. George Mims mani pulates the keys with skill, adding much to the church music. Every merchant in Edgelield is looking forward to a good trade this fall and with good reason, for the pro vision crops being good, the cotton will be nearer a surplus crop t han ever before. Cotton is trembling in the balance at seven and seven-eights. Will it go up to ten cents or down to live? Op timists say it will go to ten, men of tine judgment limit it to eight, while the pessimist is sure it will soon tum ble to five. \ Since writing the above, good mid. diing cotton has reached the Sc mark in Augusta. The total advance last week was 40 points, nearly Inlf acent We must not bank on 9cts cotton this fall, but we may hope and yearn for it. ? have been instructed by Mr. R. L.

Already Edgefield'* financial arid oor.. uiercial veins are beginning to fill up wit li new blood and to pulsate willi quicker beat because of the bricb-mak ilig anti t ile saw i i; g lumber and I he so fort hs and the mi-forllis for tbe big cotton factory. Farmers in Fairfield county report that cotton ?ti various sections is be ing ruined with the mst caused by poke berry bushes growing in the fields, hence its name, it is bery apt to poke itself in places where it's not wanted. D. A. Tompkins vice president ol' The Edgefield Manufacturing Com pany is in Europe, at this writing, for the purpose of buying machinery for the Edgefield Cotton Factory. The ladies of the Presbyterian church propose giving an entertainment in the Opera House on Tuesdi y evening, September the Hrd,to aid them in buy ing a Heater for their church. The en tertainment will consist of a magic lantern exhibition, managed by Prof? A. C. Moore, of Birmingham, Ala. Admission 25cts. Children locts. Re freshments served. Memory is a little reacherous now and then, and causes one to forget some things worth remembering, un less one has an experience like that which rame to Mr. D.E. East, Mo?a t's Creek, Va., who says "1 had been suf fering for years with a torpid liver and found no relief uni ill I took Simmons Liver Regulator when 1 was entirely relieved ol' my troubles. 1 never in tend being without Simmons Liver Regulator." . Ex-Constable Henry Johnston of our county Hus found distilling much more lucrative than that of huntiug the blind tiger in his lair or of capturing contraband. After leav ing the constabulary force be estab lished a distillery ac Hamburgand is now selling his corn liquor to the State. The Dispensary bought 70U gallons from him. The barbecue and picuic at Lan ham* on last Thursday was a dismal failure on acco'unt of the steady down pour of rain nearly all day. The Hus sars had made abundant preparation for a rare feast and fete and the heavy expense incident thereto has left them in the soup to the amount of eighty five dollars. The many friends of this gallant troup will remember this and come lo their aid when occasion of fers. Wanted, to exchange a clock for a small beef-can out run a skeered dog that is the clock can. Xo boot allowed or to be thought ol'on either side. Ap ply at the ADVERTISER Office, Bud Russell will show you the clock and you can show him the sleer, but don't tote him up stairs in your anus, it might skecr the clock, but take bim over to the ''spense" and tell Johnnie Davis to bold him till some of us ar rive. The presentment of the Edgefield grand jury seems to have created quite a sensation in the county. It appeas to have rattled some members of the county board. Gentlemen, pre serve your equanimity. You havent done anything presentable, so far as we know-so far as the public knows - but if you get rattled you may do something foolish. ;During the war we have known of a regiment stam peded by hearing a loose horse gallop ins: down the road. Don't let that loose horse stampede you. Mr. J. H. Reel living near old Dun tonsville, this county,made this year on half an acre of land 90 bushels of Irish potatoes which he soldat .$1.00 a bushel. We know this to be so for we have seen the potatoes. Tin's yield was made on land of the old Harry Reel place, that literally and truly would'nt sprout cow peas a few years ago. lt was claimed at one time, be fore the war, that it would sprout la dy peas, but it never was proven. Mix brains with your joanne* if you wish to win. Sam Taylor says he has engaged Mr. Jim Paul to make the survey ol' his new county, the Ben Thompson, and that he is "whetting of his in struments now for the work." Sam says he "has made the projected line a very crooked one so as to leave out all the" Vnti's," but Jim wants to crook it so as to leave out all the ramrackers, and that he specs him ai.d Jim will mix on that very pint before the sur veying is done, the pint ol' where to leave out "antis" and where to take 'em in." Snake Root. McDonald Furnian has found among the records that when South Carolina was a Colony, an annuity of about $500 was granted a negro named Sam son for discovering a cure for the bite of a rattlesnake. Snake root is suppos ed to have been the antidote and this is the derivation of the name Samson snake root. Shakespeare In It Too. MR. EDITOR: When they found that monster in "The Tempest" with all the questioning they could not determine what it was. What is this anyway that is fighting me? What offense did I give it? Show mo the least cause in any thing I have written. It is a po litical nondescript existing with out a cause. When a student of Newberry College he was a bitter anti domineering over his fellow students, and when he came to Edgefield be became a bitter Till man ite and acts as il he would ride over the correspondents of the ADVERTISER, but he will find he has "a long, stumpy road to travel." If I had known how to slip on and off political coats like my young friend it is more than like ly that I could have been school commissioner. In politics you will always find me on my platform defending its princip.es. Was it a crime that I was defeated? lam sure I was competent for the of fice, and the school interests of tho county suffered as much by my defeat as I did. There is not one who voted forme, nor any oth er voter fu thc county, but knows I t The One C of farming gradually exhausts the la high percentage of Potash is used larger bank account can only then h Write for our ' ' Farmers' Guide is brim full of useful information for will make and save you money. Ai '-, ?? ?-. GERMAN that w? would now have had a flourishing school system if I had been elected. "S." knows this him self if be will be candid, and it is more than likely that-he would vote for me if he were of age. I assure him I never cried when I was defeated. Again, if I am euch a pigmy I why are you wasting so much am munition upon me? Your acts be lie your words. You attacked me from the beginning and forced a personal controversy which I tri ed to avoid. Not one argument have you advanced against my position, only dogmatic asser tions. Iustead of fearing the Bible I reverence it, and am not willing it should be made a foot ball to en graft sectarianism on our public schools. I still believe that cler gymen should not engage in sec ular pursuits, but that all their [time should be devoted to their masters work, and a christian people will support them and their families. There was not the most distant allusion io the ADVERTISER, but to bitter, quarrelling correspondents. Any one could tell that ''S." was a young, inexperienced boy or he would not assert that denom inational colleges were not, secta rian. I have never advocated any bad principle in the papers tb^t I have written, and in the pur suit in which I have been engaged I hope I have doue some good, and I hOjie "S." will never engage in anything less honorable. I have i?i the last twenty years opeued the budding minds of many, and the most of these ad mit they were taught correctly. The story of "Cock Robin" was applied to Saluda, and I feel com plimented that I was her cham pion. Jack Norris can tell you all about it-how all of our repre sentatives except George Turner yielded to the perfume of cologne and musk, Even our handsome doctor fell beneath the seductive smiles of beautiful woman. Diogenes was a patriot and corrected the evils of his day. Who had not rather be he than Alexander? I would rather be the author of his reply, "Stand out of my suushine!" than possess all of Alexander's earthly diadems. I must now bid "S." goodbye. If at any time he has a subject to discuss I will enter the lists pro vided he will argue, not abuse. I will leave )OU aud that "nigger" Johnstone to fight it out. ? I am really sorry the nigger is get'.ing the best of the white man. Be a good boy and mend your ways. . PEDAGOGUE. CORRESPONDENCE A GEORGIA TEACHER GIVES SOME SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE WHO ARE TO MAKE THE NEW CONSTITUTION. MR. EDITOR: Your able delega tion to the Constitutional Conven tion should certainly be a guaran tee that the general welfare of Edgefield County and of your State will be fostered in that con vention. Yet I do not feel at all presumptious in offering a few suggestions for that convention about some minute details of im portance to our farming people that might be overlooked by the delegation, for I am interested in your State and am aware that the most of the delegation move in railroad, mercantile, and newspa pers circles, in which predomi nates the sentiment that the use of money is to loan and bank on for the highest rates of interest; associate with men who would con tinually ask for outside capital regardless of the drain created by the interest to those outsiders, aud ignore the fact that a boom on extravagant credit is a curse to any people. South Carolina has au interest rule that encourages compound in terest, which is contrary to reason, for certainly the Jaws of any State should exhort her people to be satisfied with only simple inter est. I could demonstrate that the present law has compounded in many instances where the lender would have been co?tent with I simple interest had the law not have computed for compouud. Your oflicials in order to avoid compounding sometimes use the Vermont rule which does not give simple interest aB desired. I have a rule which guarantees simple linierest every time in all pay ments, and which no doubt can be adopted by that convention and thus enable South Carolina to en courage simple interest among ber people. A bonded state debt is a curse, to its people, undoubtedly contra ry to the spirit of a republican form of government, against the judgment of wise men of the past, based upon a false theory und sel fishness of a shortsighted state craft after the manner of the ex treme of corruption, the Radical party. All State debts should be wiped out of existence in twenty or at most twenty-five years. How to do this iii your State should be ono purpose of the convention. Hero again my new rule for com puting interest with the principle rop System .nd, unless a Fertilizer containing a L Better crops, a better soil, and a e expected. ," a 142-page illustrated book. It farmers. It will be sent free, and ddress, KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau Street, New York. involved in tho rule will* he a helper. Your 44 per cent bonds can be paid principal and inter est in 26 years by making a six per cent payment each year: Your 5 per cent bonds, in 19-3-7 years by a 1\ per payment each year. That is," on $1,000,000 bonds bearing 4$ per cent interest (by my new rule guaranteeing all the simple interest and principal) by making a payment of $60,000, yearly for 26-2-5 years the whole debt will be canceled. Yes, $1,584,000 pays the debt, whereas calculated and paid by your present rule it will require $2,188,000 to settle at the end of 26-2-5 years. Mnke a payment of $75,000 on one million of 5 per cent bonds yearly and iu 19-3-7 years the whole debt will be paid with $1,457,143, instead of $1,971, 430, the present lawful rule re quires. It is observed in the foregoing figures thai with 5 per cent bonds und.-r presen; rule the one million of debt in twenty years has taxed the people one million by way of interest and still the original debt goes on. If we stop and think for a mo ment we must conclude that no such authority perpetuating a debt. thur? upon tax-payers rms ever in tended in any constitution. No moral right, no legal right to curse them thus and hence a fraudulent assumption, and therefore your convention of the people has the reserved right to rid them of the' curse. I will not at present dis cuss the rash assertions made re lative to debt and the authority for making same by a State, for I *ay false theor\r, selfishness, etc., with a knowledge of their import, and with some acquaintance with plausible pleas made for such tiebts (fee. But let the convention consider my interest rule. Give space to this and I would iike to give Pedagogue and Sem phronicus, etc., some dots ou the public school system tor the con sideration of that same conven tion. Respectfullv, L. P. ELAM. Leverett, (ia., Aug. 16. Old Co. "B," 14th S. C. V., Holds a Reunion.-A Pleasant De scription of a Very Pleas ant Day. MR. EDITOR: The old soldiers of Compauy B, 14th regiment of South Carolina, had chosen last Saturday as the date of their re union, and Richland Springs as the appointed place. Having a de sire to see those faithful old he roes meet, and not having a very great expanse of space to overcome, we went down to be a spectator. Where is the youth whose bosom would uot bc overcharged with en thusiasm, and whose very soul would not he animated when be holding the bravest men that ever shouldered arms greeting one n other after thirty years of separa tion? As I saw them shake the hands that never refused to raise arms in defense of what they thought to be their dearest rights. I felt as though I stood upon con secrated soil-yes, consecrated by the blood of those who sleep peacefully beneath the green of that land for which they died. Again, I thought of those old sol diers' experience-the changes the vicissitudes of life had wrought iu the personality of each within the last thirty years: how often they must have thought of one an other; and how their children must have heard the oft-told sto ry of their comrades in arms. Ob, memory! faculty of the human soul, thou alone can in the twiukliug of an eye, link the past with the prespnt and send, thun dering down the ages, that mes sage of heroism from ancestry to posterity-that message, I say, which is wont to kindle in the bosom of every youth a burning love for his race and country. The company met m the school house and arranged th? programme of the day. Hon. W. J. Talbert was elected orator of the occasion. Then the company formed in Hue and marched to the stand, pre ceeded b}' delightful ' straius of music produced by the Palmetto State Brass Band from Summit, S. C. On reaching Ihe stand Capt. Wess, who had been elected chairman, introduced Mr. Tal bert who came forward and deliv ered a good speech. In his speech be commented on the bravery of our Southern sol diers, and he said further that they were never wbipt, but just concluded to quit killing thc Yan kees, and came home. Ho also spoke in warm terms of the en durance and bravery of our wo men, and said that if he wished to find one person more loyal to home and country than another, he would look for that one among the women who stood as living monuments amid tho heat of four years of the most severe warfare that ever devastated a country. On this point Mr. Talbert sure ly met the approbation of every man who hus any conception of tho virtues of our women. You might become a wanderer o'er earth; yea travel o'er mountain and valiey, hill and dale; mingle in' the highest society on this mundane sphere ; plunge into the revelries of Paris or gaze upon the picturesque cataracts of the Rhine ui the search for a nobler Woman hood ; and when, at la^t, overtak en by gray hairs, in despair you could only return like a prodigal son and he laid in your grave iii the land of the most 'amiable, beautiful, and courageous women on earth ; women, without whom no meeting is graceful, and no enterprise successful; women who sit at the fireside and shape the destinies of the country; and women whom we hope never to see pushing their way into poli tics, and thereby forfeiting the grec.t influence for good they now wield. After Mr. Talbert's speech, eve rybody went down to the table and enjoyed a good dinner-cakes and all kinds of nice things served up with some of that same good hash which is characteristic of the ge nius of Capt. E. B. Forrest. Then back to the stand, and we hear from Capt. Waters and Hon. R. B. Watson; the one on the subject of warfare, the other on -the great necessity of general education both good speeches. Next the old roll of company B was called, and about twenty-five were pres ent. The way in which tbs people turned out showed their apprecia t ion of the old heroes in tbe evening of their lives. I*, is toe opinion of many that a thousand people were present. Before we close, honorable men tion is due our fellow countryman, Mr.- Thomas Whittle, in whose mind the plan of reuuion first originated,and by whose uutiriug efforts ii;wa8 brought to a success full issue. And now old heroes, we bid you adieu. We hope to meet you a gain and enjoy another happy day with you, but, if it should be our fortune never to see you more, we trust" your last dava will be your happiest, ?and that the rising generation will so conduct them selves as to make you feel proud of the country for winch you fought.
