The drought has been so long con tinued that in some sections corn is dying in the Heids and will be plough ed up and planted over. If the island of Hawaii be annexed to the United States, and this is more than probable, it is said that Gen. M. C. Butler will be Governor General. j Chaplain Bussey's letter from Chick amauga Park will ptove interesting reading* We hope, and our readers will be delighted, to hear from him often. The South Carolina regiment is now at Chickamauga Park. If you wish to write, address your letters as follows: Chickamauga .fark, Co.S. C. V. Lytle T. 0., Ga. The death of Di Lovick Hill on last Thursday removes an old landmark. Dr. Hill died at the home of his daugh ter Mrs. Jas. T. Minis, and was minis tered to with teurivrness and loving hands to the last. Dr. W. B. Penn has returned from Hillman, Ga. Mr. Penn was and is charmed with the electric virtues o? the shaft and the appurtenances, ap pointments and cusiue of the St. Albert Hotel, J. G. Hunter, proprietor. The Sluggers and Speeders -the newly arrived machinery for the Edgefield Cotton Factory, recently re ceived from England, have been put in and are ready for the application of steam. Of course you all know what the Sluggers and Speeders are. More machinery is on the road. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Clotworthy have returned to Hillman, Ga., and are pre pared to take a limited number of pri vate boarders at their cottage on hotei grounds. An electric shaft in the basement of house. 5t There are or were several cases of smallpox in Newberry, whereupon the town council passed an ordinance compelling every citizen to be vacci nated. The fine for refusing to be vaccinated is $ 100 or 30 days in jail, and if, after payiug the line or being in jail the 30 days, the party is not vaccinated within five days, they slap it to him again. At a club meeting of married wo men in Atchison recently the subject of first quarrels after marriage came up. There were 19 women present, and 18 laid the blame of the first q *ar rel on tbeir husbands. The nineteenth woman admitted that it was her fault. The nineteenth woman was a widow. -Atc'.-ison Globe. Well, Hollingsworth's, and Broad water's, and McManus's threshers passed through our town last week and threshed the wheat and oats. We do not know the net results, but one man got 45 bushelsjof wheat, another 17, an other i0, another 7. and so on. W?? suppose 200 or 300 busbels of wheat were grown in our town and suburbs thia season, last year, perhaps not a dozen bushels all told. Of course there was a great deal more oats. It is reported that Major-Gen. M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, who is to be iriven a warhorse by his admirers, in sists that the animal be not wliite, be cause he had three white horses shot under him in the Confederacy, and is a trille superstitious in consequence. It might bt well, as a matter of fact, to prohibit white horses throughout the service, since they must make an ex cellent tarjret for Spanish bullets in Cuba and elsewhere.-Mail and Ex press. The South Carolina Co-Educaticnal Institute, which enjoyed several years' prosperity at Williston, will be con ducted hereafter at Edgefield. Pro fessor Bailey has proved himself one of the most successful teachers in the State, and the people of Edgefield are to be congratulated on securing his services. He will be succeeded at Wil liston by Professor J. E. Sanders, a graduate of Furman and the assistant in the Batesburg school, who will easily win the confidence and praise:) of the Williston people.-Baptist Courier.

The right man will be thoroughly educated ii: the science of life insurance and the art of successful soliciting.

Sam Taylor had four ilea-bitten gray horses killed under him during the war."butoneof 'em was a mule." The mule was killed by a bomb shell which entered the body just behind the ninth rib, and ' busted riffht in thc middle of his stummick," so Sam says. He further says that he "saw the bomb coming towards him and the mule and would have lit but the homb beat him. ? went up and up, said he, clear out of sight. As I went up I noticed the mule took an easterly direction, andi soon saw that he would be out of the settlement before dark and turned my attention to other matters. While go ing up I did a good deal of thinking, I thought among other things that I might be going to heaven, but as I was going head foremost it occurred to me that was not the proper way. Well, aftera while I felt as if I was coming down instead of going up. I knew that I was coming down by feeling the wind blowing up my breeches legs. When I was going up the wind blew down my collar. I state this fact for the benefit of those who may be blown up in the present war, so that they may know when they are coining down, a very important thing to know. When I had gotten in about 150 feet of the ground I saw my saddle and pistols (they were in their holsters) coming up. How I ever got so far ahead of 'em I don't know unless it was that I started first and was worse skeered. Well, as soon as I got to the saddle I jerked out both the pistols and docked 'em, for I didn't know whether I would light among the enemy or with friends, and sure enough, as my ill luck would have it, I heard right tinder me a band playing Yankee doodle. No sooner said than done; I commenced tiring I right down on the durned Yankee's heads, aud of all the running and sk?edadling they did it-they must have thought I was a visitation from on high a regular Sodom and Gomorrah down-poup. I fell ina mud hole, which with the recoil or kicking of the pis tols (I fired all twelve barrels at one shoot) saved my life." These things happened at the battle of Franklin, Tenn., and to any who douot the truth of this story, Sam can show to this day a buckle from the the saddle that was on the mule the very day the \,omb burst in his "stum mick." Sam fuither says that this was as near as ever he came to seeing" a dead gray mule.

Lymau A bbott, the great Brooklyn preacher, discussee this sound, live topic of a new Ameri can policy in the May North American Review, thus : "We are identified with the civ ilized world, interested in its prob lems, concerned in its progress, in jured in its disasters, helped by its prosperities. The time has there fore passed when the United States can say, "We are sufficient uuto ourselves, we will go our way ; the rest of the world may go its way." The questen is not, "Shall we avoid entangling alliances?" We are en tangled with all the nations of the globe; by commerce, by manufac tures, by race and religious affilia tions, by popular and political sym pathies. The question for us to decide is not whether.we shall live and work in .fellowship with European nations, but whether we shall chose our fellowship with wise judgment and defiuite purpose or whether we shall allow ourselves to drift into such fellowships as political accident or the changing incidents of human history may direct. I believe that the time has come when we ought as a nation, to recognize the fact that we are not merely an American nation, but a world nation ; when we ought to take our place with a clear and definite understanding that we are doing so amDng the na tions of the world ; when we ought to form clearly to ourselves our na tonal purpose, and seek such af filiations as will promote that pur pose. It is for this reason I urge the establishment of a good under standing between the United States and England, in the hope that in time it will grow to a more formal alliance-civic, commeroial, and in dustrial, rather than naval or mili tary-and yet an alliance that will make us, for the purpose of our in ternational life, one people, thougb not politically one nation," GOD BLESS OLD E DGEFIELD The South Carolina Regiment at Clilckamanga Park-A Pleas ant Letter from Chap lain Bussey. CAMP THOMAS, ) CHICKAMAUGA PARK, / LYTLE, GA., June 10, 1898. ) Well, ADVERTISER, it has been sonietimo since I sent you a line, uot eveu a marriage notice. The boys don't marry out here much. But I will uot delay longer. The men are beginning to put on broad smiles, for the wagons have just rolled jp and say that they havo the new uniforms, shoes, hnts. etc., for many of them are getting bare, as they left their homes hurriedly. They are well pleased, but will ice', bolter now, for the troops of other regiments all around them strut by with their new suits of blue on. We have a delightful camp here, good shade, good water and a plenty of it, The men are delight ed with the change, but both offi cers and men would have preferred going on to the front. We have been put into a brigade with Penn sylvanians and Minnesotans. The latter came over last night and wanted our boys to give them the old r?bel yell. In order to get themselves in tune they gathered together and marched to Col. Till man's tent, while the band played Dixie, took him upon their shoul ders and made him speak, and they certainly gave the rebel yell right. While all the regimental officers are popular Col. Tillman is ex ceedingly popular, with his battal ion especially. The health of the regiment has improved since coming here, though there in still considerable bowel trouble among the men. It has been decided to send a lot of recruiting officers back home to ! raise the companies each to 106 men. I find a great deal of religious .vork to do here, in the hospital, the guard-houRe, and in the tents as well as the regular preaching. I find many young Christian men here who are willing to help. Some young men in the regiment, who were studying for the minis try, left school and came, are help ful to the chaplaiu. I am helped very niuch by letters Irom home giving me a list of names of young men in whom they are especially concerned. Our beloved Dr. Gwalt ney has helped me greatly in this wa3r, for which I heartily than, him. I carry a blank book int j which I transcribe these names fe future reference." I bad a chill', last Monday i' Augusta under the car shed, wher , I had one thirty-five years ag. . when I started to Chickamaug;. Park before, but I am well agair. The Lord bl^ss old Edgefield an?1 : especially all the chnrclnrS that 1 once preached for aud all of which I dearly love. May He prosper you. G. W. BUSSEY. Tribute ol* Respect to the Mem ory of Col. W. H. Folk. At a regular communication of Con cordia Lodge, No. 50, A. F. M., held on the 3rd inst., a committee consisting of Brothers Geo. B. Lake, P. B. May son and D. R. Durisoe, appointed at a previous eall meeting of the Lodge to draft resolutions on the death of Bro. W. H. Folk, reported as follows, the same meeting with the hearty endorse ment of the Lodge, viz : WHEREAS, Our beloved Bro. William H. Folk, in the very mid-way of life, full of manly vigor and in the midst of wide usefulness, with many worldly honors already won, and enjoying the love and esteem of all who knew him, has been removed from us forever, and with sorrowing hearts we miss his kindly greeting at our fraternal gatherings, and sigh for "the touch of a vanished hand-the sound of a voice that is still." Realizing, however, that it is now well with our departed brother; that our loss is his happy and lasting gai , that he has been called by the Grand Master on High "from labor to refreshment,"-to "rest, sweet rest," in that "temple not made with hands eternal in the heavens." And murmuring not, nor complaining at the sore bereave'ment that has befallen us; but remembering the promises of Him whose love and mercy "endureth forever," we humbly and trustfully bow to the Divine will, and with un faltering faith "Leave it, Father, all with thee I>o Thy way-that is hest.:' AND, WHEREAS, In the seemingly untimely death of Bro. Folk our town, and county as well, has lost a highly esteemed and valued citizen-a gen tleman endowed with a bright and vigorous mind, and possessed of high legal and literary attn: :inents-a man warm-hearted and true, finn in his friendship, and ever upright and just with all; a husband, father, son, broth er, the remembrance of whose tender love and warm affection for his home and his loved ones there, will be to the hearts bereft a sweet consolation as the years go by; and we a worthy brother Master Mason, who loved the sacred tenets of the order, and was ever zealous in the work of the Lodge; therefore be it Resolved, That, forgetting his frail ties, we will ever cherish his many virtues, and long keep his memory green. Reeolved, That a page in the Record Book of the Lodge be dedicated to bis memory, and that the Lodge room be put in the usual habiliments of mourn ing for the next thirty days. Resolved, That the Secretary for ward a copy of these resolutions to the family of our deceased brother, and that they be published in the Edgefield ADVERTISER JO IIX KENNERL Y, W. M. G.

M. C. A.: To the Friends of the South Carolina Volunteers: The Young Men's Christian Association bids fair to be a lively factor in tne Uuited States army during the wai with Spain. The President and Gen.. Miles have endorsed their plan of work, anjjl have authorized the placing bf tents in every regiment. Many States have already sent secretaries ito the field with their soldiers, and weshould promptly do 1 .kewise We have thoroughly investigat ed the need for this work, and find it so urgent that we eau no longer delay. Our plan is to pitch a t^nt at Camp Ellerbe as soon as possible, to be rn charge of a trained secretary, who will give his entire time to organizing and carr* ing on aggressive Christian work, and wherever our soldiers are ordered there this work will go. This tent will be equippod with chairs, reading table, correspond ence table, standard magazines and all the daily and weekly papers of the Stat?. There will also be an organ, song books and Bibles to be used in religious sorvices. The officers of our troops at Columbia are urging us to under take this work, and a visit to the comp would be sufficient to con vince anyone of the necessity. A careful estimate of tho cost of equipment for this work and its current expenses for six mouths is $1,200. We the army com mittee, do earnestly appeal to all South Carolinians and ask their personal help in maintaining this practical line of Christian work among our men and boy's who, while serving their country, are exposed to many temptations. Wo also ask that all churches andyouug people's societies will take up special collections for this cause. All money contributed by churches, societies and idividuals should be forwarded at once to J. Gardiner Gordon, Treasurer of State Committee, Charleston, S. C.
