The Edgefield Institute closed on last Friday, the 5th inst. Many have and all want "Foik's Dyspeptic Shoes." FOB SALK-25 well bred and well fed pigs at $1.25 each. CM. WILLIAMS, Edgefield, S. C. Every tear shed ia sympathy for others makes us bet. er, but dou't stop with a tear or tears. "Folk's Dyspeptic Shoes" are the only articles sold that people ask for no credit in buying. Mrs. Col. W. H. Folk and her daugh ter, "Princess" Julia, are now in Au gusta, Ga., for two weeks. . Green shoes are getting to be the rage for gentlemen's wear, especially the feather-heads, green shoes and half hose to match. Tailor-made clothing at I. C. Levy & Co.'s, Augusta, Ga., that will flt you. at lowest prices. Everybody buy* c.~thing at I. C. L's. "Folk's Dyspeptic Shoes" are all the rage in Edgefield. The State has on hand at Columba, and in the various county dispensarle? three hundred and fifty thousand dol lars worth of liquors. A big crop of cotton and a small price seems to be the outlook just now. But we believe there will alfo be an abundant crop of provisions made. Rev. W. T. Matthews will be enga ged in evangelical work during the month of June among the Presbyte rian churches of this county just now without a pastor. Blackberries are ripe, and one of our bicyclists is so expert a wheeler as to be able to ride by a patch and fill him self as he rides without stopping. Bis name isn't SP m Taylor.

The people know a good thing when they see it, and a better thing cannot be bought to-day than "Folk's Dys peptic Shoes" at Fleming & Dunbar's, Augusta, Ga.

Delightful rains on last Friday, Sat urday, Sunday, Monday Tuesday, etc. In some sections the downpour was excessive. Mr. John Mays, of the Horn Creek section, complains in this respect and of a violent wind that blew down his fences-pasture fences of course, for there is no other kind of fences in this land of civilization. South Carolina is certainly civilized and enlightened and up-to-date, if not ahead, on the no fence business. Go to Fleming & Dunbar's, Augus ta, Ga, and get a pair of "Folk's Dys? peptic Shoes" and your soul.will be made happy as well as your "corn ridden" feet. Mr. John A.

GAINES SAYS "That to Hold Out the Terra Would Not at all Accord With His Ideas of Propriety," BUT . EDITOR ADVERTISER: AS there seems to bes?me concern as to what I will do in reference to my position as Senator, I submit the following statement : Greenwood county goes into operation as to its local affairs to day (June 4th), and though I have not changed my residence, yet by action of law, I become c. citizen of Greenwood county. So ?ar as the letter of law is con cerned, I have the right to hold out the term of four years as Sen ator from Edgefield county, but to do so would not at all accord with my own ideas of propriety. The only question I have deliberated is as to when it will be best for me to band in my resignation. As the office was created for the benefit of the people this question should be decided solely with regard to their interest. In the campaign last summer this argument was used against me by my opponents, vir : That if I should be elected to the Senate I would have the legal right to hold for four years, and that if Greenwood county should be es tablished, and I did not resign, Edgefield would be represented by an alien Senator. Or, that if I should resign before the next regu lar election the people would be put to the expense and vexation of holding a special election to fill my place. So far as I now recall, I answered these points in every speech I made in the cmpaign, stating that should I be elected, and should Greenwood county be established, I would neither hold the term out nor throw the people of the county into a special elec tion, but would resign so as to throw the election of my successor into the regular campaign of 1898. At that time, however, I neither expected Greenwood county to be put into operation as early as it has been, nor did I expect it to have any representation in either branch of the General Assembly until after the next regular elec tion. When the bills to establish the new counties came up in the Sen ate at the last session it was de cided that under the terms of the Constitution, the Legislature was required to put new counties into operation as early as practicable, and also decided that while there could be no change in representa tion in the House of Representa tives until the next regular elec tion, each new conuty was entitled to a Senator. At that time I felt sure that a special election would be necessary in Edgefield county aside from my position. Under these conditions I felt that so far as I was personally con cerne ! I should not of my own motion hold the position of Sen ator from Edgefield county longer, lu discussing tho matter with prominent citizens of what yet re mains as Edgefield county, I found them to oppose my rosignirg be fore the beginning of the next campaign, and the following are among the reaeous urged : 1st. That the statements I made DU the stump as to when I would resign in case of the establishment of Greenwood cou uty, are regarded by many of ray supporters as a pledge and compact which I should not. disregard by forcing the people to undergo the trouble and expense of a special alec'ion, and espe cially now, as this election would be held for the purpose of filling my place alone. 2nd. That the people are engross ed with their business aud public nterest not actively directed tc public affairs; that in a epecia election there would be no cam pa'ign, no public discussion of mo mentous questions, nothing tc bring out the views of candidates nothing to arouse and crystalizi public sentiment, nothing to brinj out the vote of the people, anc hence no guarantee that the can didate who might receive the ma jority of the few votes cast in i special election would be either th choice of the mass of the people o represent their views. 3rd. That in the campaign stated my views on public quee tions and my election by a ma ority of the votes cast in what i now Edgefiehl county, indicate that they are approved by the mr ority of the people of the counfa That on these views the people o the county entrusted me with tb senatorship, with the understand ng that if Greenwood count should be formed I would retur the trust to them at the beginnin the campaign of 1898, so tha every candidate for my positio shall be required to go square! before the people, present thei convictions on vital issues an give the whole people a fair oppoi nity to name the man of thei choice. That it is probable that the can ign of 189S will involve quei tioiis of far reaching and even vital importance to the people, and if so it will be of the utmost import ance that the next General Assem bly shall be as nearly all fresh from the people as possible, that the will of the people as expressed in the election shall be raflected in the action of the Legislature. That such being the case I would not* be filling the measure of my obligation to those who entrusted me with tho senatorship to thrust it back on them, and force them to the trouble and expense of a spe cial election at a time when public sentiment is unsettled on vital public issues and conditions un favorable to bring the will of the masses to bear in an election. 4th. That my being, by action of law, thrown into Greenwood county, neither changes my con victions on public afiairs nor les sens my interest in the welfare of the mass of the people. That the active part taken by me at the last session of the Legislature, both in originating, drafting and pushing measures for the-special benefit of Edgefield county, and discouraging legislation against her interests is sufficient proof of my concern for the interests of the'people of the county. That there could be no question as to my fairly representing the interests of Edgefield county un less some question should arise involving conflict of interest be tween Edgefield and Greenwood counties, and about which there would at the same tirxe be room for doubt as to my duty in the mat ter. But that the act establishing Greenwood county covered all de tails of tho separation, and there is no prospect of auy such ques tion arising. 5th. That they believe this posi tion to accord both with the inter ests of the people of the county and the wishes of thot;e who sent me to the Senate, and it shall be endorsed by every aspirant for my place who wants to go to the Sen ate only as the choice of the ma jority of tho whole people and who does not want to take snap judg ment on the people in a special electiou and walk into the Senate as it -y'ere by default. Now, Mr. Editor, those who know anything about my private business recognize that there will be no gain to me to serve at the next session of the Senate, and if I were merely a politician, pei sonal interest would suggest th? it would be perhaps good poli* for me to resign at once. Inde~ if I had been merely a politici I would have resigned and run the Senate in Greenwood- couu ; I have been in no hurry to dec .". my course of action, because there is KO occasion for hurry, and I have desired to decide in accord with the welfare of the people of the county and my obligation to thone who elected me to the Senate on the statements made by me in the campaign. For the reasons above stated I have decided that duty demands that I shall serve as Senator from Edgefield couuty till the close of the next session of the Legislature when I shall resign so that my successor may be chosen in the regular elections of the campaign of 1898.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: I am re minded of the word? of a poet which I memorized when quite a child, and although they may not be appropriate or applicable?to the cause which prompts the writing of this lotter, I will use them for what they are wor.'h. "A raven once an acorn took, From basin's tallest, stoutest tree, And laid it near a limpid brook, And lived another oak to see." I had not seen a copy of the Edgefield ADVERTISER in more than six years till yesterday, when your last issue, Mr, Editor, was handed me. The dear bid journal looked quite familiar, and I scan ed its pages with no small degree of interest. My attention was specially attracted to the short ar ticle under the caption "Who Saved lt." The reading of this article in which my name ls prom inently mentioned elicits this ef fort on my part, to explain and to some extent correct the writer "E in what might become construed in the wrong light and thus cause a ruffle of discord in this day of patriotism. I was born in old Edgefield and quite half of my past life has been spent within her borders. For three successive years, 1888,1889 and 1890,1 taught school in the Big Creek section, at what is known as "Shiloh Academy." During my residence lhere I joined the Trav wick Chapel Alliance. It was during the time in which a great deal was being written and said by many with regard to the Quited efiorts of the County Alli ance in a proposed project to es tablish one or more co-operative etores in Edgefield county. I con ceived the idea that upon similar principles as proposed for the es. tablishment of these imaginary stores a County Allianc9 bank might, be established. I drafted a resolution in accord with my ideas, offered it for acceptance and adop tion in my home alliance, which was done. It was then that I was authorized by the Tray wick Alli ance, under a resolution, to write the action of said alliance, as fa voring the establishment of a farmers bank to that of a corpora tive store, also requesting'all sub . .. 'il Mr. , . : n .'a HU . liUnl ?j... ir;' -" tv. and myself attended the call meet ing at Fruit Hill as representatives of Traywick Aliiance, several other alliauces were represented. Sen ator Tillman, (then known as Capt. Tillmau) attended and was chosei: to preside over the delib erations of the meeting. In that meeting I offered the resolution as adopted at Traywick, which was received after some discussion and adopted, with the recommendation that the same be considered by the next meeting of the County Alli ance. I was present at the next meeting of the County Alliance, and as will be remembered by every interested allianceman pres ent, and as record will show, I presented the same resolutions) which called forth a heated dis cussion, as many favored the pro posed system of stores. I insisted upon the adoption of tho r?solu tion with all my ability, outliuing in detail my feeble ideas as to the advisability of such an enterprise, It was Capt. W. S. Allen who first joined me in the discussion, ther Dr. W. H. Timmermau, Hon. W. J. Talbert and Mr. A. E. Padgett possibly others, but the resolutior was adopted, unchanged from th? original wording at Traywick, ex cept "twenty dollars per share' was substituted for "ten dollar per share." A charter was applier for and granted. The bank organ ized and was at work in a shor time. It was you, Mr. Editor, tha christened it in its swaddlinj clothes and incipiency "a boy" am mentioned Timmermau, Rains ford. Pitts and Padgett as it fathers, and you will remember J humorist criticism which I wrot and you published in repl) to you giving the names of the boy' fathers, in which I suggested tha Pitts, Padgett nor Rainsf.)rd ha< ever been accused before of bein, the father of anything, and ns th real father of the "boy" was no definitely known, that under ai old law made and provided tba every citizen of the county be call ed upon to support the child till i was full growu. Now, Mr. Editor, the foregoiuj s a matter of record, and deserve to bo made public. It was Trnj wick Allianeo instead of Big Creel otherwise "E" was correct. It will be remembered that left old Edgefield and located c Vidal in, Montgomery county, Ga in November, 1891, since thf time I have been kept busy in my adopted home, with gratifying success. I had never thought Of being specially honored for any thing I have tried to do. The con sciousness of having done my duty is enough for me. 1 have recently arrived in Lees ville from an extended trip through South and Southwest Georgia. I will remain here till the 12th in stant so as to take in the college commencement exercises in which I feel a great interest by reason of my patronage of this school, and my family being located here at present. Pardon my lengthy letter, Mr. Editor, and allow me to wish old Edgefield and all its worthy enterprises, unlimited success. J. E. SMITH. Leesville, S. C. Advertised Letters.

To say the least of it, 'tis in very bad taste for Messrs. Gaines and Yeldell to pretend to repre sent Edgefield any longer, coming from another county. When will the thing stop? The whole of three townships trans ferred to Greenwood, and another knocking at the door-McCormick. A whole county taken from us Saluda-and it sterns the State of Edgefield, if things continue, will not be larger than Rhode Island.

The death of Senator Earle is in truth a misfortune; dignified and courtly in manner; talented and patriotic, he was the man for the occasion, but we hope his success or will be able to fill his place. McLaurin's appointment is a good one, none better. Now is it net strange that in this day of progress Edgefield is still in the slough of despond with her roads, in winter perhaps the mean est in the world? We hear of con ventions held for different things, but if any practical plan has evei yet been proposed for the main tenance of good roads, I have yet to hear of it.
