An exchange aptly remarks that,
"when yon see a youth who will do
any sort of work, and no matter how
menial it may be, rather than be idle
you make op your mind that fe' ow

would do anything beneath what be
conceives to be hie dignity is not
made of the right stuff to cut much
of a figure in this world. Dont be
afraid of any sort olf work so long as
lt is honorable,"

So Mote It Be,
Senator B. R. Tillman called on
President McKinley a few day*
lince, and after the interview pro
nounced ''Mac a good fellow." If
;his means that our Senator has
i "pull" with the President we hope

Senator Butler kept one in during
Harrison's term.
Ten Thousand Per Month.
The State board of control has
lecidedthat it could and would
mt aside for the credit of the gen
eral fund $10,000 per month, but
that the money would not be paid

is the State has a good deal of

uer, when wanted, at the rate of
HOjOOO per month.

Board of Examiners.
The State Board of Education
las adopted a series of 25 rules
for the schools which materially
mange conditions as to schools in
.he state. The most important of
;he rules are : No trustee can en
Joy a teacher related to them with
n the second degree in the public
schools. Nor can such a teacher
ie related to principal.
The.third grade certificates as :c
;e ac h er s are abolished.
There are to be three instead of
;wa examinations forjteachers.
There will be but one set of ques
tions ~and 75* instead of SO is
requisite for the first grade and 70
for the second ; but no one shall be
liven a certificate who fails to
nake 50 on any grade. The State
board alone can give the right to
my one to sell supplies and the
county board can prevent such
sale of supplies in the county. Upon
i permit from the county board
supplies approved by the state
board may be bought.
The state board appointed the
following board for Edgefield
county : H. S. Hartzog and E. H.
Folk.
Q. JJ. Penn & Son.
This is the oldest mercantile house
in Edgefield. Established in 1835 by
the father, his name was for fort} -two
years a household word in Edgefield
cou tty from the Savannah to the Sa
luda, and from Ninety-Six to Beech
Island. In 1877 the admission of W. B.
Penn to a partnership made the change
to G. L. Penn & Son. Since the death
of the senior partner the firm name
has been retained and is still G. L.
Penn & Son. Sixty-two years is a long
time in the life o' t business house, a
long time to retain the confidence,
patronage and good will of a people
and it cannot be done unless there be
abundant good cause for such confi
dence. The reason fer such must be
found in the square dealing that bas
always characterized both father and
son. A new cart) from this firm ap
years in this issue of the ADVERTISER
that deserves special attention, written
as it is by a local ad-smith of genius
and reputation in such matters. Later
we shall make further notice of some
special summer features of the Penn
Loray Soda Fountain. For the pres
ent, reader, it will be sufficient to cite
you to the drug and grocery depart
ment, alway*? up to date withjtbe latest
and the beat.J
Act at Once.
Citizens of the various towD
ships iii Edgefield county should
meet at once and designate three
of their number as a township
board of pensions. Unless you do
ibid at an early date you will be
debarred and get no pensions for
the? year 1897. Do not wait for
somebody to call you together, but
act of your own motion and at
once. Since writing the above we
have received an official notice
published elsewhere, to which we
call the attention of all interested
in pensions.
The Missionary Service,
j The mission meeting at the Baptist
church iast Sunday evening was one
of decided interest, and more enjoyed
than many previous ones. The musi
cal program con sisted of hymns by the
choir, accompanied by the cornet,
clarionet, violin and organ. A paper
was read by Mr. O. Sheppard written
by Dr. F. R. Timmons, and talks were
mi.de by Dr. Gwaltney, Rev. John
Lake, J. H. Cantelou and 0. Sheppard*
It was thought that $100 could be raised
for foreign missions this month so
that this church might do its full
share in helping to liquidate the debt
now pressing so heavily on our board
and on the hearts of the Christian peo
ple of our land who love the cause of
Christ and the spread of his Gospel.

Old Mt. Vernon and Kirkseye.
DEAR ADVERTISER : I hail from
Vernon, about eighteen miles
from your beloved town.
Your paper reaches us weekly
and it is a pleasure to peruse its
columns.
Mud is the predominant feature
up here. In going to and from
school we find mudl mud? mud!
How gladly we would welcome
some fair spring weather. Just j
now it seems that winter is mak- j
ing a return trip.
Yesterday it was our privilege I
to visit Kirkseys. Had often heard
of the place, but never beheld it
before. It is, indeed, a great re
gion for trade. As you draw nigh
you may see numbers of horses
tied, and when you enter nil hands
are busy. We were waited upon
by Mr. J. C. Self, of Self. He ie
an affable, pleasant young gentle
man. They have severed depart
ments, and you can find almost
anything needed in their estab
lishment. It is like a railroad
town. After, making perchases,
we returned to the highway to en
counter cold wind, mud a nd water.
Vernon's school is progressing
right nicely. Am glad to see these
people taking an interest in the
training of their children. Th8y
seem thoroughly aroused., as all
parents should be, for we know
that faculties should not be allow
ed to lie dormant.
We have been very courteously
entertained in the horns of Mr.
and Mrs. G. M. Lanior. They
know how to treat you well, and
feed you well.
Mr. J. S. Harrison has bad an
attack of erysipelas, but we are
glad to say he is out again.
Mrs. G. M. Lanier is in rather |
feeble healih.
We attend services regularly at]
Mt. Vernon Methodist church.
They have an able minister, the j
Rev. Mr. Justus, formerly of North
Carolina. He is a deep thinker, j
He speaks very highly of the Rey.
P. P. Blalock; they have been in
timately associated. As I admire
Mr. Blalock so much it was a pleas
ure to meet one of his old friends.
They speak of having Childrens'
Day at Mt. Vernon in the near fu
ture, and I think it promises to be
very interesting. Mr. Editor, can't
you come up? Vernon Sunday
school is zealously superintended
by Mr. J. M. Jordan. He is an un
assuming but good worker.
I appreciate very highly a com
plimentary ie8ue cf This Way,]
sent by the editor some time since
Hearts were saddened to near of
the death of Miss Alice Duriaoo.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out
to the bereaved loved ones. They]
should try not to think of the
separation, but of the reunion]
over there." May heaven seem
nearer since she is there.
Very little plowing has been
done up to this date. What will 1
the farmers do about their crops? .
Am very well contentad up here, ,
srill there are times when home
sick feelings creep over me. Then
were I the possessor of Aladdin's '
Lamp, I would quickly be with the j
loved ones at home, notwithstand
ing I enjoy my field of labor. I <

Death of Mrs, Ella Red.
Modoc, S. C., April 2.-On
Monday morning at 6 30 o'clock
Death visited our town and claimed
for its victim Mrs. Elia Red, wife
of Capt M. L. Red of McCormick
and daughter of Dr. T, E. Jen
nings, of th's place.
Mrs. Red had been a great
sufferer for mauy months irorn
that dread disease consumption,
but she bore it all with the greatest
patience and Christian fortitude
expressing herself at all times as
desiring to live and raise her four
little children, but if the reverse
was the will of God she was willing
to be at rest. This writer has J
known her from her girlhood and
can teetifiy to the noble christian
influence which she wielded on all
around her. In the home with
husband and children, at her
church, and at all times and places
she displayed the piety and de
votion to the Master's cause which
characterized her whole life. She
was a dutiful daughter, a devoted
wife and a most tender affection
ate mother, always striving to
train up her children in the way
they should go. Truly she was a
"jewol of rare value, a pearl of
great price a model of a woman
aa chaste as the Temple of Virtue,"
Her home had been at McCor
ick for several years, but a short
time ago she expressed a desire to
be brought to the parental roof to
spend the few remaining days
left her, accordingly she was re
moved home to die. She lived but
a fow days afterwards, when she
was taken to that Home where
there is no more sorrow, sickness
nor death.
She was borne to the church by
the f ollowing pall bearers : Messrs.
J* W. Bradley and L. N. Cham
berlain, of McCormick, G. P.
Moore, J. W. .Brooks and A. R.
Vaites of Modoc. Her paster.,
Rev. G. W. Bussey, preached
the funeral from the words,
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord." His discourse was very
impressive and was attentively
listened to by a large au dience of
her friends who, with the family,
were all the time bathed in tears.
After tho sermon her remains
were borne to the* grave and laid
away to await the final resurrection
when all the redeemed shall meet
to part no more.
Our heartfelt sympathies are
sxtended to the bereaved husband
father, sisters, brothers and her
four little motherless children
