Edgef ield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1897. L0GAL2 BREVITIES. - The bud worm has "done his do" and gone. Mr. W. W. Adams has returned from New York. Kain would not be a blessing m dis guise just now. A refreshing little shower on Sun day afternoon last. Florida watermelons and pineapples have reached the Augusta market. Of course the wise farmer has look ed out for a provision crop this year. Mr. and Mrs. Spann Barr, of Pleas ant Lane, were in town on last Thurs day. Col. Folk's book has reached the chapter entitled "Edgefield's Four Hundred." The depot at Plum Branch was burn ed on last Thursday afternoon with contents. Who will be the Edgefl<dd postmas ter, is a question frequently asked and not answered. There will be a good deal of fruit in Edgefield this year, apples and peaches | -and blackberries. There are five kinds of corn whiskey, to wit : Good, bad, rot-gut, pop-skull and certain death. Another lot,Several carloads, of ma chinery for the Edgefield Cotton Mills arrived on Monday of this week. An earthquake shock was distinctly felt in our town on Monday of this week, a few minutes before 2 p. m. We have received no nominations as yet for the State Senate and the House of Representatives from this county. The dedication of the Mountain Creek Baptist Church on last Sunday gave our town a deserted appearance. It is reported in Columbia that both John Gary Evans and John T. Duncan will enter the September primary for the United States Senate. The primary for the selection of a United States Senator wi li be held about the 15th September, according to Chairman D. H. Tompkins. M It strikes us that crops are not look ing weli in the vicinity of Edgefield. Cotton especial?y looks sick and measely and, can we say; careworn? tov. J. C. Sheppard and J. W.

Persons interested will ?flke due notice. Mr. J. A. Timmerman, one of our prosperous merchants, intends to sow sixty acres in "Unknown peas" broad cast. That is the way to do it. He will make forty carloads of "rough nes s." Miss Rosa Oliver Dantzler, daughter of our Rev. .D. Z. Dantzler, will grad uate at the Winthrop College for Wo men on June 6th. Miss Dantzler stands high in the college and is presi . dent of the Senior class. We have received a communication from Columbia pouring hot shot into L. J. Williams. But the charges made therein are of so grave a nature that we cannot publish unless the party will sign his name to the article. A great many reformers in this county who went into the "movement' with the honest belief that it was a good thing and a patriotic thing todo, are coming to the conclusion, very sadly and slowly, that many of their leaders have sold them and the "move ment" out for the filthy lucre and "re bates" and samples that were in it. There will probabJy be a day of judg ment for both deceived and deceiver. We will present absolutely free a new 1897 bicvcle (either ladies' or gents' wheel) in exchange for a favor we wish attended to in Edgefield, also another for attending to same in ad joining townships. No agency or sell ing business. We prefer those ac quainted with many young people now studying music.

"Stick a pin down here," were the words that once and often fell from the lips Of the Rev. John Trapp, one of the pioneer founders and protectors of Mountain Creek Church and who now lies buried under that beautiful monument in yonder graveyard, erected by the grateful and worthy hands of a loving people to a well-beloved pastor of this church when Bhe was young and needed just such a father in Israel as I have been in formed he was. Mountain Creek went through many vicissitudes of fortune dur ing the life-time of John Trapp as well as he did, but the good people of this Mountain Creek country always stood by this church and John Trapp, MacMillan, Fant, Bus sey, Ouzts, Miller and others I do not now recall, and by ea2h other and themselves, when the old log church stood here upon this hal lowed ground in the days of cid as well as when the modern well equipped house of God in which we are to-day, confronts us all, full of joyous and happy souls, from far and near, ready to shed as it has ever bbed its blessings of di vine love over a smiling land some times and a weeping land at times. Nothing but. a united church peo ple and a generous public can ac copaplish such a work as this, that meets our eyes and blesses our hearts to-day, the dedication by a God-loving and God-fearing mau and a happy, prosperous and uni ted people of a house of worship like this to the Supreme Being of the universe. What a volume could be written, dear friends-for yon are my friends, as you have proven your selves to be on more than one oc casion, and for which allow me this day once for all to thank you from the bottom of my heart-could bf written if the members of Moun tain Creek, old, middle-aged and present, could speak to us to-day. A volume, it would be full of the smiles and the tears, the ups and downs of your community. Many good and faithful sentinels, male and female, on the watch-towers of Zion have ceased to walk their ac customed rounds in and around Mountain Creek Church, since the trees were first cut from the spi"1" where we now sit aud stand, : ? 'ld the first house of Divi worst*.. , w?S9*~_?r?0rhat a vast number oveTiThTsouIs made ifir^,^?tter' . outpouring of the Divine/ opon Mountar-^K's ^nmr hearts and minds. Whatathrov ?Uiaye passed from their earth j pl?gYioage to the city of the de since the firettynm was sung and the first sermon was preached with in these sacred precincts. If that roll were called, filled with youl best people in the days of yore, scarcely a name when called would b<* answered to as "present," but now marked "absent" here as be ing present with the Lord in the realms on high. I am glad to tell you however, (if that be a comfort) and should be to many a heart and soul here to-day, their names can be answered to by their honored children and their grandchildren and their children's children, car rying on the good work begun by their forefathers and foremothers three-quarters of a century ago, a8 this happy occasion abundantly shows. While Trapp, DeVor,e, Durst, Matthews, Kemp, Clegg, Williams, Ouzts, Faulkner, Callison, Shep pard, Andrews, Aiton, Johnson, Timmerman, Hol'ingsworth, Part low, Strom, Dorn, Bell, Harling, Holloway, Lewis, Corley, Self Stallworth, Rambo and a number Jess host of others have passed ov?r the river and are now resting under the shade of the trees, there are yet ai.d still here to-day, for I see their bright faces and cherry hearts all around me, who are just as faithful and loyal soldiers of the Cross under the Captain of our Salvation as ever they were, for they have learned that valuable lesson that should never be for gotten, but written in letters of gold upon every heart and upon the door posts of every home in Edgefield and South Carolina and everywhere, so as to be remember ed forever, that the highest type of manhood and womanhood known to civilized man or woman to-day and so acknowledged every where, ?B that of the child-like humble Christian on his knees iu prayer and supplication to Him that lives forever, aud gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross that men and wo men, like you and I, and every where on the earth, might live with Him, if saved thereby, forever and forever in the joys of the Lord. Pardon me in saying what I can not help from saying here to one thousand people or more this day? that Gray township has produced one of the grandest and noblest heroines I have ever seen or read of, in the person of Mrs. Lizzie Ouzts, who now lies sleeping in Abraham's bosom, but living in the hearts of all these people, and what she did I leave the Rev. Jesse L. Ouztu and her other sons! to answer, who now sit in the "heavenly pisces" on earth, reared as they were, by that Godly woman with the husband dead on the field of battle in defence of his country and four little helpless boys, dig ging a living out of the poorest ground in all your township. In behalf of the trustworthy trustees and deacons of Mountain Creek church, I receive this church, beautiful as it is, from the hands of your Godly and faithful build ing committee, and this church through me for the trustees is now and forever given to the Living God and to the Rev. Geo. W. Bus sey, its devoted pastor, and I say herc and now in this large pres ence, that this church with God in it and with the aid of George Bus sey and others to follow him, will add more to the glory of God in the future than it has ever done in the past. My exhortation to you, nothing more, nothing less, is that all of us may so live h?re and so die here, that we may merit the plaudit: "Well done thou good and faithful servants" and on account thereof be allowed to enter at last into the "joys of our Lord." "Pair Play" Says "Step Down and Out." MR. EDITOR-Dear ?ir: I want to express my approval of "Home Rule" and "Red Hill" published in late issues of your valuable pa per, as I am in full accord with the sentiment therein expressed, and believing as I do from what I have heaTd, that it ie the feeling of nine-tenths of Edgefield couuty. I have not heard one single mau express any other opinion, and I have heard it discussed many times, by many people, in many places, and not ono have I heard express any other sentiment than that the Greenwood gentlemen, holding Edgefield offices, ought to step down and out. These patriotic gentlemen may feel that the ? would not be treating the dear people right who put them in office. I wonder if each of them got a ma jority of the voters that are now in Edgefield after taking Greenwood off? nr_ TTMWnr it. RfieniS to ces. We know that the patriotism of these gentlemen prompts them to want to serve the dear people. It seems that one of them in par ticular is so patriotic as to want to serve both Edgefield and Green? wood, aud would not object to do iug something for the State at the same time if agreeable to all par ties concerned. Or at least that is the way it looks by his holding on to one office and asking for others at the same time. Be that as it may, Mr. Editor, I am fully satis fied that a large-yes, a very large -majority of the people of Edge field county think and desire that as soon as an Edgefield man, and an office holder, becomes a citizen of Greenwood county (and espe cially wjf?n he becomes so by his own vote) he 6hould resign, and let the office be filled by Edgefield men. It really seems to me that right, justice and common decency demand it. What say you, fellow citizens? Respectfully, FAIR PLAY. Pleasant Lane. May 28th.

EDITOR ADVERTISKB: By your request and.in order to pjut at rest some of your very much interested and solicitous correspondente, I respectfully ask you to publish the following statement : . The Constitution of South Caro lina provides, Art. 3, See. 3: That the "House of Representatives sha.'l consist of one hundred and twenty-four members * * * ." ''Provided further, That until'the apportionment which shall be made npon the next enumeration shall take effect, tbe representa tion of the several counties as thev LOW exist (including the county of Saluda) shall be as follows: Ab beville 5, Aiken 3, Edgefiold 3, Saluda 2, etc., etc. Provided fur ther, That in the event other counties are hereafter established, then the General Assembly shall reapportion the representatives be tween the counties * * * ." "Sec. 5. No apportionment of representatives shall take effect until the general election 'which shall succeed such * apportion ment." And you will notice, that the act passed by tho last session of tho legislature establishing Green wood county, does not provide for full and complete county hood at once. For instance: The county board of commissioners, school commissioners; clerk of the court of Common Pleas, tho Court of General Sessions, and all other county officers of the counties of Edg6field and Abbeville as they stood and were organized prior to the formation of the county of Greenwood, shall have full juris diction and power in and over the people and the territory embraced within the limits of Greenwood county until after the officefB ?mall have been appointed or elected, as the case may; be, and .qualified, etc., etc.; And the magistrates shall be located as they now aie in the terriiory covered by the ccunty of Greenwood until otherwise pro vided by law." Magistrates Gil christ and Timmerman have now, and will have jurisdiction until after the next legislature, over that portion of their districtfi, re spectively, covered by the ccunty of Greenwood. The Constitution provides, as shown above, Art. 3,f Sec. 5, that nn rthnntr? nf l-ormaaanrnr.lnn e.an in ureenwooa county to represent the people of Edgefield county as it is for a citizen of Edgefield county, say "Home Rule" or "Red Hill" to represent the people of Greenwood county. And if your correspondents, Mr. Editor, will search the record and make a .little inquiry they can find out who it was that looked after Edgefield county affairs during the last ses sion of the legislature. The citi zens of Cooper, Gray and Hibler are free-born Americans, South Carolinians, sons of old Edgefield, your brothers,- Mr. Editor, and would you disfranchise them? I We are all proud of Edgefield, proud of the men who have made her history, and regret the neces sity of our separation.- And in taking our departure our hope and prayer shall be that old Edgefield may be as illustrious in the future as she has been in the past.
