In a letter to the Atlanta Constitu

of commencement at Shorter College,
the fact was mentioned that Miss Ma
ry Gwaltney, of Edgefield, would be
come a member of the faculty of that
institution in the fall.
Th? rains oi the past week prevail
ed generally all over the county. In
some sections these down-pours
amounted almost to cloud bursts. Tn
the old Duntonsville section especial
ly, the windows of the heavens were
opened and gullies were washed, in
-mnr^ftecea, .fifteen feet deep. The
damage to crops was of course very
considerable.
From Prof. J. H. Lewis in far-away

young man and we are glad to chroni

we would like for them to register
now while we have so much time."
Cow Pease, Sow 'Em. *
The original home of thecowpea
was doubtless India, but this is'nt the
reason why it is the king of soil re
stores, nor is it necessary to inquire
why; sow all and plant all you can.
Acid is the thing for cow pease. Arno
niated guanos are emphatically not
Hie things to use under this legume.
Try a sack or half a sack of aeid on an
acre of cow pease and you will be as
tonished at the luxuriance of the vines
and the abundance of ttie pease. Cup
pine we should tell you of a man who
made and gathered ii) bushels of un
known peas from one acre to say not ii-,

Josh Harris and Jack Burnett
and Bill Murrah and Bob Jack
son Getting Rich in South
Georgia.
To thc Editor Edyefidd Adverti
ser :
Having been away from the
hills and rocks of o?d Edgefield
for some time, and having heard
but 1 it-Tie from the old home will
peu th 'se few lines hoping it may
be of some interest to some of
your many readers.
We ;eft Edgefield on the 17th of
December last and arrived at. Sco'.
land Ga., on the same day having
traveled a distance of 2o5 railes,
all by? rail, somo of which was
through as poor land as our eyes
ever feasted on and some very
fine. We don't inteud giving a
synopsis of our trip , as it was a
dash through with no time to eoe
or learn anything on the road.
At Scotland we found Mr, Josh
Harris and Mr. Jack Burnett both
of your county and both as you
all know are mad* up of hospital
ity, sociality, and general good;
they delight in talking of Edge
field ar.d the people thereof.
Alter spending a most pleasant
Christmas with the good people of
Scotland, Mr. Harris and I began
to ramble over South Georgia in
search of a location, which we
found in Montgomery county in
tho forks of two railroads near the
line ol' Telfair county. And here
are as fins.farming lands asean be
found, and as regards health there
never lived a more healthy people
than ve have right here. The wa
ier is as pure and cold as that of
Edgefield; in short if there be
any who are tired of South Caroli
na and contemplate a long move
we don't think they can rind a bet
ter place than South Georgia. I
have 25 acres iu conon and think
I will make 15 bales; it is about
knee high all over. My corn ?8
fine. 1 have 18 acree that will make
me 20 or 25 bushel per acre. Mr.
Josh Harris has 150 acres in cot
ton he thinks will make 100 bales.
Mr. Jack Burnett cf Edgefield has
50 acres in cotton that will make
him 30 or 35 bales of cotton if
nothing happens t. it, it is the
best I ever saw for the time of the
year and is full of blooms now.
Mr. Rohert G. Jackson of Edge
field chopped my cotton crop 25
acres in nine days, can you beat
that?
Wishing the dear old ADVERTI
SER mach success I wi M close my
few extemporary remarks.
Yours as ever,
W. E. MURRAH.

The Crops and People Around
Folf?.
The health of tho community is
especially good.
Rains, refreshing rains, have
fallen in the last few days and all
vegetation is looking r.pwar:!.
Crops in this immediate neigh
borhood aro fine, oats were light
owing to the insufficiency of rain
while heading.
Mr. G. D. Minis tho successful
mill b'uilder, is putting up a splen
did mill and gin on Little creek,
which he expects to have in run
ning order by 1st of Augu-1. Then
we can all have new corn bread
and muffins.
Mm. Elizabeth Whatley and
Miss Nannie are down on a visit
to friend and relatives. A double
welcome is extended to them by
their old neighbors and friends.
Mi^s Fannie Bussey >s spending
this week with her sister Mrs. Os

Miss Lizzie Kubanks who has
been leaching at Pine Grove 6chool
house is very much missed since

from the horizon, and above the

tle m'.?on of knowledge-big, bright,

Some weeks ago we noticed a
very able article from your gifted
correspondent, "Van Star." He is
on the right line. While his theo
ries may not be carried into execu
ti.m, on account of love of whiskey
uti the part of some and desire to
money in others, yet I give bim my
hand on it. The proudest thing
that could he said of Saluda would
be that she has no liquor establish
ment within her borders. But alas
alackaday! how ofreu are theory
and practice at variance. Prohi
bitionists have to see many things
in tl:is old matter of fact wo^ld
that by no means conform to the
High Ideal.
Well, it makes us sad to read
over the proceedings of any con
vention now and'see the name of
dear old Edgefield. We then-keen
ly realize that we ca?i no longer
claim that proud name. No more
are the etirriug memories attached
Ito that word our boasted heritage.
Majestic law but uttered a single
word and our birthright-being
called an Edgefieldian-was snatch
ed from us forever. But there is
one thing no law can take from us.
We can say we were born io Edge
field and none dares dispute it.
Senator Irby is in the last part
of act V in his political drama.
He is a man of no great intellect
ual power and we have always
thought thst old Ben was the mov
ing cause in all all his wonderful
"political general sh if)," but in
moral courage and steadfastness,
Irby;8 enemies must even adroit
that he has always shown himself
a man. His siu was over-presump
tion ; he dared to match his own
paltry power against the most
splendid political genius of our
ume3 and behold the result ! But
he dies.game and in the pit.
We see Col. Keitt speaks of en
tering the senatorial tight. He is
the best informed man in out State
on the history of political science.
His knowledge of theoretical fi
nance is also profound. As an or
ator he yields to no man in South
Carolina. But there is nothing prac
tical about him-he is a theorist,
a vi8ionaire, a moon gazer-one
who while his head is moving
among the clouds, his feet are apt
to be standing in a mudhole.

In 30 years 20,000,000 bottles
have been sold to cure Blood

troubles, Scrofula, Pimples, etc.
Attack the foundation of dis
ease, cleanse the blood, bring it

may be other ways, but the best
is by using the tried and true
