There are men living to-day, and in Edgefield county, who had rather be right than be trial justices. Mr. Geo. P. Cobb, a popular mer chant of Johnston, was in town on Tuesday of this week. We have not yet announced the name of the individual who will be our next school commissioner, but watch these columns! The sympathies of our entire com munity are with Rev. and Mrs. G. G Mayes in their sad bereavement, the loss of an infant. Crops are needing rain. Stands of cotton are poor in many sections and corn is small. Small grain crops, while good', also need showers. Trenton has a newspaper, The Call, edited by J. G. Hughes and printed by S. H. Maillot. We hope for our neigh bor an abunuant success. The two stores of E. B. Hart, the dry goods and clothing stores, will be continued as heretofore, both under the management of Jas. E. Hart. WANTED-Salesmon to sell Lubri eating Oils from samples ou commis sion.

Pearce. Ex-Gov. John Gary Evans has been appointed assistant-adjutant and in spector general with the rank of major. Senator Tillman asked for the appoint ment. Some of the boys in Columbia com plain of the grub. They say it consists of hash, stewed potatoes, sour beaus left from last meal, light bread and coffee. Lee Mack, the great horse necro mancer, is making his annual rounds through Edgefield and Saluda coun ties. His postoffice is Butler, Saluda county. . On last Saturday the thermometer reached 95 degrees at Edgefield, equal to tne hottest July weather. In other portions of the State it reached the extreme altitude of 99 degrees. Prof. J. D. Dunovant, of Mine Creek, a recent graduate of the Nashville Uni versity, is at home fora few days from his schools in Georgia, where for a year past he has been teaching most acceptably. The law office of Croft & Tillman is now in charge cf Theodore Croft, Esq., of Aiken. Mr. Croft is a son of Col. Geo. W.

He left on Tuesday for Columbia, lie says he is to get the apppointment of team ster or mule driver. Sam say's he in tends to have all his mules shod "backwards" so that the Spaniards when they "take after him they will be going from, instead of towards, bim." Sly Sam! Promises to send us a bar rel of Jamaica ginger and sugar, by the first passing. The season is backward. Not since 1SG7 have the crops been so late. The stands of cotton are very irregular. In some portions of the county they are good, at other places indifferent, and at still other places there are none at all. The corn crops are not much. Of course there is time enough for both these crops to come out and make good yields. One redeeming feature of the outlook is that there is an in creased acreage of corn in the county as well as of sm?!1 grain, and this last is ont of sight. On next Saturday, ?lay 28th, Bill Quattlebaum will give a public and private barbecue at Johnston. The eatiug charge will be 25 cents. The barbecue is public in the sense that everybody is invited who can pull a quarter, and private in the sense that the meat belongs to Bill Quattlebaum until paid for. After the eating is over all who desire to do so cir. volunteer for the Cuban war and those who do not care to volunteer can go back home. Old Cornfeds especially in vited. In the upper pr.rtof this State, on the line between Picken? and Green ville counties, recently there occurred one of the most remarkable hail storms ever known. The storm extended over an area of five by three miles. In the stricken territory nota single sprig of green can be seen. Cotton, corn and grain were beaten to the ground and utterly destroyed, and many hogs, palves and chickens were pelted to death. After the storm the hail lay 16 inches deep on a level but in many places had drifted to a depth of five or six feet.

This afternooD Constable Henry Bodie lodged in jail four negroes who ore charged with the burning of Mr. J. M. Forrest's dwelling in October last. Mr. Forrest has been making diligent search for the last few months to capture the fiends. A few days ago a negro who has been working for Mr. Forrest exposed the whole thing. It seems that the negro who informed Mr. Forrest, was one of the gang, and he thought the best way out for him, was to turn State's evidence. Your cor respondent interviewed the pris oners, and of coursu they plead not guilty, but there is little doubt thai these are the guilty parties, and it is very probable that Sheriff Whittle will have some hanging to do after the August term of court. Miss Bertha Blease, a beauti ful and accomplished young lady of Newberry, after a short visit to her brother, Eugene S. Blease, Esq., returned home lust Friday. Col. J. B.

An English journal thus com ments on the injurious effects of anger: "Anger serves the unhappy mortal who indulges in much the same wayas intoxicante constantly taken do the inebriate, it grows into a sort of disease, which has various and terrible results. Sir Richard Quain said, not long ago : He is a man very rich indeed in physical power who can afford to be [angry.' This is true. Every time a man becomess 'white' or red with anger he is in danger of his life. The heart and brain are the organs mostly affected when fits of passion are indulged in. Not only doos anger case partial paralysis of the. small blood vessels, but the heart's action becomes intermit tent; that is, every now and then it drops a beat-much the same thing as is experinced by excessive smoking."-Medical Record. Pear Blight. The crop bulletin of the South Carolina section of the United States department cf agriculture for the past week, published yesterday, from Columbia, contains the encouraging report that the warmer weather which has "caused a noticeable improvement in the "appearance of field crops generally, and "particularly in the condition of corn," and that ' the general outlook for fruit "continues to be good," buc pears "are "not doing well ; much blight is noted "the fruit is dropping too freely." Pears o re more widely cultivated in the State, perhaps, than any other orchard fruit, and the reported prevalence of "blight" on the trees is, therefore, a matter of very genera: interest. We printed a few weeks ago the testimony of a pear grower VA one of the Western States, Eis;-:ouri or Arkansas, that he had found the administration of calomel to the sick and threa tened trees a certain cure and preventive of the disease, and the owners of blighted orchards in this State might profit by his ex perience. His plan, as described, was simply to make an incision two or three inches long through the bark of the +runk if the whole tree was affected, cr of the affected limb, and insert three to five grains of calomel, carefully closing the wouud and covering it to ex clude the air and insure healing. This inexpensive and simple treatment, employed when the leaves were young, it was stated, stopped the progress of thu disease and thoroughly protected the tree from further attacks for one ur two years, Sound trees so "vaccinated" escaped the infection altogether. A few cents,' worth of the drug, it was added, will protect au acre of trees. The plan has the merit of sim plicity and economy, at any rate. We should be glad to hoar from any of our readers who may try it or who have tried it already. News and Courier. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cares Fever le One Day. ?lSAUTIFUli MAY "WEDDING Impressive Ceremonies of Blake Henneman Marriage. Tuc following description of a wedding will be found o? interest to Edgofield people, as the groom is a grand-son of the late Capi. Lewis Jones, of our town : In spite of the war cloud that is hanging over the country society is as fond as in more propitious years of the nuptials of some charming girl. The large crowd of admiring friends that gathered at Central Methodist church yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock to witness the marriage ceremony of Dr. Lewis Jones Blake and Miss Henneman bore ' testimony to this fact. It will be long before those who were present on this occasion wiil quito forget ;he beauty of the spectacle. The interior of the sacred edifice waB almost hidden by the prodigal display of nature's fairest orna ments. The altar was banked with graceful palms and tall standards of lilies, while long trails of feath ery greens thickly studded with starry white blossoms hid the chancel rail from sight. As the bridal party moved slow ly tip the broad aisle amid bowers of snowy blossoms the organ peal ed forth the old familiar weiding march under the rare touch of Mrs. Warren DuPre. Rev. M. L. Car lisle took his stand in front of tho chancel and Dr. Blake came in from the side with his brother Mr. Thongs C. Blake,as best man. The wedding processiou was led by four ushers, Mr. Andrew E Moore, of Wellford, and Col. J. G jWardlaw, of Gaffney; Capt. J. O Westfield, of Greenville, and Mr. Chas. T. Lipscomb. Then came four bridesmaids, Misses Emily Evins and Gr.icc Moore, of Colum bia; Misses May Lily Blake, sister of the groom, and Ruth Cofield. followed by four groomsmen, Messrs. D. L. Jennings and J. K. S. Ray, Mr. Hern don Moore, of Co lumbia, and Dr. DeEoix Wilson. The other four bridesmaids Misses Isabel Foster, of Union, and Lizzie Cleveland, Mrs. Jefferson Choice Evins and Miss Marie Converse were followed to the altar by Messrs. Chas. O'Xeale, C. P. Ligon, Gabriel Rouquie and W. F. Twitty. The bridesmaids Avore pictures que costumes of white organdie and huge white hats framed their faces. They carried enormous shower hoquets of roses, tied with long satin ribbons. When the procesBjo^rea_c^ed_the_ chancel the groomsmen separated and stood four on each side, while the bridesmaids formed a crescent in front. As Miss Stella Charles began to sing "The Palms," with indescribly lovely effect, Miss Mattie Henneman, sister of the bride, came down the center aislo alone, exceedingly handsome in an elaborate white gown and hat to match. Last of all came Misslienneman leaning on the arm of her brother, Dr. John Bell Plennernan No sight is more sacred and beautiful than a young woman dressed in the snowy white wedding gown and veil about to take her marriage vows, and those bidden to the cere mony wished that the view of the fair bride might have keen pro longed. She was joined at the altar by the groom and Rev. M. L. Carlisle read the beautiful and simple service which made them mau and wife. Miss Henneman by her rare in tellectual attainments and unusual charm of manner has endeared her self to the entire community. Dr. Blake, aside from being a physi cian of high standing, is une of Spartan burg's lending citizens and a man of wide popularity.-Spar tanburg Herald. - I Quinine md other fe- \ ver medicines take from S to 10 days to cure fever.

On this account the light artillery now in camp ac Port Tampa City, a rather low spot, has been ordered to camp in Tampa, where the the land is higher and the drainage better. The first shipment ot the big guns that will be used in the siege of Havana has arrived. Forty-eight of these guus, which carry five inch mell s weighing 100 pounds each a distance of six miles will be used by the land forces in shelling Havana. These are the most ! poworfal guns ever used for such purposes. It will require an entire regiment of men to manipulate these guns.
