Dr. Gwaltney preached at Gilgal church on last Sunday; there were no services in our village Baptist church. Another carload of machinery for the cotton factory reached these shores on Saturday last, and more is soon to fol low. Ninety per cent, of those who fail in the physical examination for the U.

Mouzon Smith, Esq., has been ap pointed Engineer-in-Chief to the Philippine islands. Mr.Smith went to Washington on Monday cf this week Mr. John H. Carpenter, of tbs Vau cluse-Trenton section, was in town one day last week. He was looking for Pugh Jones, wanted to join his company. Sam Colgan says that from his short experience in the U. S. army at Co lumbia, he ascertains that the boys are giyen toa "deal of deleterious devil ment in the camps."' Capt. E. H. Folk will continue the practice pf law at the cid stand, con ducting the business of the late linn of Folk & Folk, a .d also any new busi ness that may be received. We hear that the Hotel Edgefield is to be leased or purchased by Prof. Bailey,of Orangeburg, and used asa school building next session and prob ably for a long time to come. "Pig" Smith is building an elegant two-story dwelling on Columbia street} next the Bryan house. It will contain eight or ten rooms and will be thor oughly up-to-date in every respect. Prepare to sow and to plant an abundance of cow peas in your corn _and_out of it- Any old place is a good enough place for peas, and the best fertilizer for them is acid phosphate. Mr. A. S. Tompkins has cut his wheat and he can now have Graham Hour without buying it. Arthur considers every man a fool who eats white flour made from chalk, dried beans, and soap-stone.. , Jim Brown has a hen that came up to roost a few nights since with a half grown mink in be; mouth. Jim says that she hunts minks all day, and gen erally brings one up with her to eat during the night. It would seem to be an easy matter to get up from Edgefield county even a whole regiment to go to Porto Rico with Gen. M. C. Butler, who may be made Governor-General of that beau tiful island after its capture. And the longer the war lasts the better it will be for our country in dustrially and commercially, so says Mr. Tren 'iolm, late comptroller ol' the currency, and so will say any sensible man who will give the matter a mo ment's thought. Ice galore-Mr. M. A. Taylor will furn is?? ice in any quantity to town and conntry patrol s, at Augusta cost, through the season. Mr. Taylor has, at the depot, built a very substantial ice house inside the brick warehouse at that place. Ice at Augusta prices, just think of it! Edgefield will soon have a telephone exchange, central office, talk all over town, etc. Mr. Geo. F. Mims, electri cian, has ordered twenty-five hookem snivies (we don't know the name of f.he things) for the first layout and more will be ordered as needed.

Edgefield has already furnished for the Cuban-Philippine-Porto Rico war one Major-General, one Lieut.-Co'onel, one CaptainrChaplain, one Engineer in-Ch;ef to the Philippine islands, one "Wagoner-in-Chief to Cuba, and four privates, and stands ready to dupli cate these presents upon call. Don't point your linger at Edgefield and say we are not patriotic, There is a new song going the rounds of tha papers, and it runs in this wise : "Hre don't want to buy at your place We won't trade there any more; You'll be sorry when you see us going to some other store. You can't sell us any stale goo^ ., We bave opened wide our eyes; We don't want to trade at .your store, 'Ci.use you do not advertise." It is reported that there was an at tempt to wreck one of the trains on the C. <fc G. road lately between Alston and Columbia which was carrying down some of the volvnteers. It was found that on one of the trestles be tween these two points the spikes had been drawn for a distance of 50 feet, md the track bad not only been re moved but obstructions placed so as to derail the train. It is thought to have Jjeen the work of Spanish spies. The gardens are ruined, almost, for the want of rain. Mr. Gr. W. Campbell keeps ice on hand all the time, and at very reason able prices. "Walter L. Nicholson, who left for the war last week has joii *d the Sum ter company. And the thermometer stood at9Sin the Buncombe portion of our town on Sunday last. Up in Pigtown it went fo 99%.

Teachers' Institutes or other classes wishing an organist and singing teach er may address David S. L. Johnson, Edgetiold C. H., S. C. Sam Colgan passed the examination for enlistment in the United State3 army last week and went through like a flash. When asked how old he was Sam said that to the best of his recol lection he was "44 years, 9 months, and 3 days old." In a private communica tion Sam said. "I am now ready to take the Spanish bull by the horns, sling I him over the fence clear out of the cow pen, and thereby hope to excite the wonder, admiration, and plaudits of the world, the universe, and the bal ance of mankind." WAXTEL-The management of the Equitable Life Assurance Soc* y in this territory is desirous of st jring the services of a man of character aud ability to represent its interests, with Edgeiie'd as headquarters. The right man will be thoroughly educated in the science of life insurance and the art of successful soliciting. There is no business or profession not requir ing capital which is more remunera tive than a life agency conducted with energy and ability. Correspondence with men who desire to secure employ ment and are ambitious to attain prominence in the profession, is in vited. W. J. RODDEV, Manager, Rock Hill, S. C. Eveiy time John Carpenter comes to Edgelield he pays for his paper. As a consequence he never had the tooth ache in his life, never had corns, it never rains on his fodder before he hauls it up, the minks never bother his chickens, and the frost never kills hi9 beans. What we_have-said_about John Carpenter is also true, and for the same reason, of Oscar Burnett, and, in addition, Mr. Burnett uever fails to get a good stand of cotton. This last good fortune is due to the fact that he* lives nearer to the ADVERTISER office than Mr. Carpenter. "Dem Johnston niggers wus guilty, no doubt 'bout dat, dey wus jest as guilty as Nicermurdemus wus w'en he dumb de Sycamo tree. Pm talkin' 'bout that ruction and rousement dem baseball niggers had here in Edgefield last Sat'dy," said Uncle Randall. "I knowed dey wus guilty, an' den dey told me so deyselves. Dey ounsulted wid me and axed me what to do, and I tole 'em, sez 1 : You'se guilty an' your only pendence is your lawyer, an' dat's your only safeness. You mus' git er man with a slick tongue, er long head an' er weak conscience, an' I told 'era Marse Jim DeVore and Marse Mack Simkins could pull 'era through de low-grcun's of tribulation an' land 'em on de high-dry. Dey tuck my sub scription, an' now dey is kickm" up der heels in Johnston's freer den dey wus befo' dey lit. Yes, hit's des like I tell you. De niggers can go on an' kick up all de devilment dey wants ter, an> white folks too for that matter, an' if dey will jus' git Marse Long-head Jim DeVore ter 'fend 'em, dey needn't give deyselves no uneasiness 'bout no jedg ments in dis world, but in de next look out! Niggers an' lawyers will hab ter do 'bout mightily ter keep outen de fire." Why fake Johnson's Chili & Fever Tonic? Because it cures the most stubborn case of Fever in ONE DA K General Butlei's Appointment. The appointment of ex-Senator Butler to be a major general in the volunteer army is the best military appointment that the president has made. General Butler ia by nature a soldier; he was one of the best sent by the Souih to the late war and he is better fittod to command a division than any liv ing ex-Confederate general. In war timeB men of M. C. Burler's military genius are in demand. It is the president, the arni}'' and the country who are lucky in the appointment of M. C. Butler. His new honors do not make him a greater soldier than he was already conceded ' to be by veteran?, North and South. Geenville News. The Financial Side of lt.

The most terrific hail storm ever seen by our oldest people fell ia ElbertouWednesday evening about 6 o'clock. MaDy of the stones were as large as leraonr, and they fell fast and furious for 40 minutes. Trees wore stripped of their leaves and fruit, flower yards and gardens and orchards were ruined and hundreds of chickens were killed. There was not a piece of glass left in the skylight3 of Orr's photograph gallery, and he was badly damaged. The skylightB of the Gholston Inn's sample rooms fared no better. Long's conservatory was badly damaged by the large stones, and we don't believe there is a single glass covered flower pit in the town. Hard rain fell all the while and the streets were literally flooded, as the water came too fast to be conveyed away throrgh the cul verts. We are glad to learn that it did not extend over an area more that two miles Bquare, and in some places was not so severe. All vegetation is damaged badly within the territory of the storm, and nature will have to assert all of her recuperative powers to bring forth a crop of any con siderable proportions.-Elberion (Ga.) Tribune, May 20. Johnson's Chill and Fever - Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. The acid fruits are disinfectant? ; they disinfect tho mouth, which is liable to be filled with bacteria ; they disinfect the system, which renders it less liable to attacks of disease; but we shold eat fruit because tastes best. Nature guides us by our taste. It" our system desires acids, we will have a desire to eat that which is acid. War, the Great Leveler. ''Well, sub, dis war beat de devil ! It aho'do.

JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever //S One Day. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has been twitted aud berated unmeri f ully by a number of newspapers and notably so by the News and Courier for bis outspoken advocacy of the Nicaragua canal project. They have made faces at him and called him names and held him up as little short of crazy. And yet what incalculable value that canal would be to us in a naval and military point of view if we had built it some years ago. How easily and quickly the Oregon could have been transferred trom the Pacific lo the Gulf. How easily an expedition could.be seut through it'from Now Orleans or some other Gulf port to the relie! of our Asiatic squadron under Admiral Dewey. All these things come home to us in timo of war, and it is likely that we will profit by the lesson when peace returns. It shows, too, that Senator Morgan haB more farseeing statesmanship, not only about this buf some othor questions as well, wrapped up in his cranium than ali the little scribblers combined who deride him.-Anderson Advocate. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever in O?? Day. The Atlanta Constitution says that a "man in Carterville pur chased the gallows on which a man was hanged and built a hennery of the lumber. He has never had a chicken stolen from it, and it is said that the colored brother won't go within a block of it if he oan possibly a-"oid doing so." The acid are disinfectants; they disinfect the mouth, is liable to be filled with haoteria- they disinfect the sy f tem, wnioh renders it less liable to attacks of disease ; but wo should eat fruit because it tastes. Nature guides U3 by our taste. If our system desires acids, we wj]l have a desire to eat that which is acid. A Louisville paper suggests tha'c Mr. Jo,e Reiter be invited to put up tho prico of cotton. REGIMENT SONG.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the muet difficult to get rid of. There is but one way to. cure it.. The disease is in tito blood, ami ell tho sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe 8?flc cures Catarrh permanently, fori? is the ORly remedy which erin reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllfc*ter, of I '-arrodeburg, Ky., had Cacnrrh for years.

THEKE are schools and schools, but there are some reasons why you should patronize the Johnston Institute : 1st.-Johnston is a healthful location, on the famous "Ridge," which com prises portions of Aiken, Edgefield, Lexington and Saluda Counties. It is absolutely free from malaria. The same diurnal range of temperature as Santa Barbara, Cal. 2nd.-Johnston is a moral community with few allurements to vice. No bar rooms or vicious company to degrade the students. 3rd.-The Superintendents conduct two boarding halls-Pickens Hall for young men and Rebecca Motte Hall fer young ladies. In these Halls the students are under restrictions and give their undivided time to their studies. 4th.-The Institute is conducted on a Military basis. Boys are permitted, but not required, to wear uniforms. . This uniform is cheap, handsome and durable. Students are taught to obey, as one can never rule well until he first learns to obey well. 5th.-Our course of study is thorough, practical and progressive. We flt stu dents for life, as College Diplomas are issued to those who deserve them. 6th.-We have Special Departments offering superior instructions in Book keeping, Painting and Music. Call and see the character of work done. Our rooms are open to inspection. 7th.-We have a big school. There is somethingjstimulatingand inspiringabout large schools, because children learn not only from books but by ab sorption. 8th.-We have eleven teachers, 6. M. Martin, John Lake, A. J. Reainy, C.
