?As Senator Gaines and Representa
tive Yeldell both live in that portion
of Edgefield which has been donated
to Greenwood county, it will be neces
sary for Edgefield to elect a new State
Senator and new Representative some
time this summer.
The late legislature extended the
time for paying the commutation or
road tax to the first of April. We
confess we do not exactly know what
this means, chat the legislature should
extend the time for paying this tax,
and not extend the time for paying
other taxes.
The Baptist Courier says : **In the
Legislature there are 48 Methodists,
39 Baptists, 22 Presbyterians, ll Epis
copalians, 6 Associate Reformed Pres
byterians, 6 Lutherans, 4 Christians,
2 Second Adventists, 1 Catholic, 1
Israelite; Baptist inclined 5, Method

pal 3."
8. C. Stalnaker, of Rosa, it> a candi
date for Sheriff" of Greenwood coun
ty. Mr. Stalnaker's father vas Sheriff
of Edgefield connty years ago, and
made a good one, and we have no
doubt that Chris would make Green
wood an excellent officer. He has the
courage of a Numidian lion, and would
arrest Julius Caesar or anybody eise if
it became his duty to do so, and he
could find him.
Miss Bessie Jones who has been vis -
iting: her grand-mother Mrs. Lewis
Jones in Edgefleid, has returned to
her home at Ridge Spring.
We are advised that quite a
percentage of bottles shipped from
the dispensary at Columbia to the
county dispensaries are broken in
transit, and that much of the li
quor contained in such broken
bottles is not spilled. What be
comes of such unsalable liquor?
Whose perquisite is it?
"The roads, the roads, the awful
roads." This is the cry from Edge
field's Dan to Edgefleld's Beersheba.
We do not believe it possible under
present conditions and environments
for Edgefield to have absolutely good
roads, but they might be made passa
ble. May the mantle of old A pp: us
Claudius a3 a road builder fall on t he
broad shoulders of our worthy coun
ty superintendent H. Q. Talbert.
Mr. Jefferson Briggs of the Cold
Spring section died at his home one
day last week very suddenly, it is sup
posed of heart disease. His remains
were interred at the family burying
ground on the day after his demise, the
Bev. J. P. Mealing officiating at the
funeral. Mr. Triggs was the oldest
brother of the old and honored family
of that name, ne was a good solcher
in the Confederate army and was an
honest'man. Peace to his ashes.
Blow thc Whistle. .
Complaints have been made that
trains on the Gap road do not al
ways blow the whistle as they cross
the Beaverdam trestle coming in
and going out from the depot, the
special gravamen being that, per
sons travelling in vehicles are
sometimes caught under or near
the trestle by the trains, absolute
ly without any warning; and the
danger of runaways is always
immiu'nt in such cases. We know
Col. Fowler well enough to say
that he will amend the matter of
whistle blowing.
Accident to F. R. Timmons.
Thn following account of an ac
cident to Mr. F. R. Timmons, son
of Dr. F. R. Timmons, of our
town, we clip from the Augusta
Chronicle: "F. I\ Timmons, a
prominent citizen of Ridge
Springs, S. C., was quite badly
hurt last night at 9:36 o'clock at
the corner of Telfair aud Sixth
streets, while attempting to board
the out-going train on the South
ern Railway. Mr. Timmons'grasp
ed the left bar of tho last coacb,
and as he went to put his feet on
the bottom step slipped. In this
position he was dragged for some
distance before anyone went; to
his assistance. He was afraid to
let go lest he fell under the wheels,
and so he received a severe bump
ing. He was so affected by the
accident as to become very ill and
so was taken in the city hospital
only a few yards away. There
were nc fractures."

GEORGE G. LEWIS.
Mr. George G. Lewis, died at his
horne in our town on Wednesday
last. Our friend and brother was
a patient sufferer, and he suffered
long. He was an invalid for more
than a year and confined to his bed
for six months and until the sum
mons came. He knew that his end
was near and that the shadow
which soon or late falls athwart the
pathways of all mankind had dark
ened his for the last time. We be
lieve that he was prepared to pass
through tho "deep waters'' and that
he has fcund rest and peace and
joy and love beyond the "valley
and the shadow" as he found hope
and promise, cheer and. comfort
here. He leaves to mourn his de
parture his wife and daughter,
Anna Holmes, also his sister, Mrs.
Mary Reese, and two brothers, Mr.
W. L. Lewis, of our town, and Mr.
J. E. Lewis, of Georgia.
'Beyond time's troubled stream,
Beyond the chilling waves of death's
dark river,
Beyond life's lowering clouds and
fitful gleams,
lt's dark realities and brighter dreams,
A beautiful forever.
AWAY FROM HOME.
Tho Columbia Register has the
following account, of the sudden
death in Columbia of C. M. Tim
merman. He was a son of J. D.
Timmerman. of Ropers, and a
nephew of Mr. J. A. Timmerman of
our town : "Mr. C. M. Timmerman,
a young man formerly of Ropers,
Edgefield County, died in this city
early yesterday, at Mrs. Marshall's
residence on Lady street. Mr.
Timmerman has been in Columbia
about two weeks as agent for a
book relative to the war in Cuba.
He was attacked with a seemiuglly
slight illness Wednesday evening,
but as it did not appear serious
nothing was thought of it. Early
in the morning Mrs. Marshall,
who had occasion to enter the room,
her son being a room mate of Mr.
Timmerman, discovered that the
young man was breathing unatur
ally heavy. She summooed Dre,
Knowlton and Search, who gave
ihe young man proper medical
attention, but th?y found him suf
fering with an acute attack of
Bright's disease, which their skill
??ou?d not baffle. Mr. Timmerman
was about 20 yaa^s old and is a
distant relative of State Treasurer
Timmerman, who notified the
young man's family and made
arrangements for the transporta
tion of the body to Trenton yes
terday.
MRS. F. H. TILLMAX.
Edgefield has suffered many
losses and borne many sorrows of
.-ate, in the sad and etert
wells she has spoken to he
iug citizens, for in this ? <
many vicissitudes we s1 .;
er again see their happy f .
hear their encouraging v :
"tho dead come not back .
him" in this abode of sor
r\e "n u.-1-3-r i-:
have clouded our BUUIJ .
phere of tranquil peace,
been more sad than the death ox
Mrs. Francis Haseltine Tillman, a
Christian woman of many graces
and unusual force and energy of
character. She was a member of
the Edgefield Baptist church, but
for more than a year she has been
confined to the limits of her own
home, and was deprived of the
privileges of the sanctuary, which
were always so dear to her heart.
It is a comforting thought to those
who hold her memory in tender
devotion, that these things are no
longer denied her.
She leaves one daughter surviv
ing her, to whom the whole com
munity extend sincere sympathy.
But the sainted mother has only
passed beyond the confines of our
earthly vie-.on, to the realization of
all, and more than all, her former
hopes and longings, "for eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man
the things which God has prepar
ed for them that love him."
The funeral services were con
ducted at the Baptist church on
Friday at noon, by Rev. L. B.
Gwaltney, whose touehing tribute
to her memory and character,
found an echo in many hearts. The
floral offerings which covered her
bier were a tribute to her many
virtues, from a number of friends
who had come within the circle of
her ministrations.
The near relatives of the deceas
ed, are her sisters, Mrs. Newton
Fair, Mrs. William Miller, Mrs.
Julia Moss of Trenton, Mrs. Jordan
of Florida, and. her brother Mr.
3am Roper.
Why is this thus? Or Words to
That Effect.
I do not believe in rubbing old
scabs or pouring viciiol on old
Bores, but. do think far as possible
the public ought to know what is
going on in county affairs t'iat
nothing be done in the dark and
inspired by motives which the
people can neither see nor ap
preciate. But to be more specific :
Everyone remembers the many
ugly things unearthed by the
grand jury of 95, some of which
have been rectified and some uot.
Among the many other things,
were certain alleged shortages in
the books of certain county officers
trial justices etc. There being
some doubt and dispute, the mat
ter was referred to the Comptroller
General or Governor (it matters
not which),who agreed to send an
expert up to examine the books.
Mr. D. H. Wise of Aiken was
chosen for the work. That was
about the last heard of the matter
bb the public down our wa}'. A
citizen (not myself) wishing to
know more about the matter,
wrote t3 Gov. Ellerbe and got the
following from his Private Secre
tary :
"Dear Sir : I am informed by
the Governor that the services of
Mr. D. H. Wise of Aiken had
been secured to make an investi
gation of lhe alleged shortages in
Edgefield county, but before the
work could be done the county
commissioners receded frem their
agreement to pay $180,00 for the
work and that it ha-j never been
done for the want of funds. The
Complroller General makes a re
port of chis in his annual report to
the legislature.
Very Respectfully.
J. M. CASPER,
Private Secretary.
The shove note is self explana
tory. A few very pregnant ques
tions might arise in the mind,
such as : why did the commission
?re make an agreement and then
recede? Is the affair ever to be
cleared up or is it to 6tay in the
mess it is now in? I doubt not but
that the commissioners can give
excellent reasons for their course.
Perhaps they considered it the duty
of the state and not the county to
pay this expert. Somote it be. But
it does seem that the county might
afford to make this small sacrifice
rather than let matters rest where
they were when the grand jury
made it3 report.
