Election tickets for State and county offices printed in first class style, and in any quantity at the Advertiser Job office. The executive committee will ap point campaign meetings at its next assembly, which is to be, we believe, the first Monday in August. Mr. David I. Denny, of Greenwood, has sold out his grocery business and will return, it is hoped, to Edgefierd, his original stamping gronnd.

We hear that the Rook Qoarry?at Pittsburg is to be operate^ again soon. This is in addition to the other good things that are to come to us this fa'l in the way of a boom ro business. Capt. Bill Brunson is off to Atlanta to attend the reunion of Confederate veterans. Gen. Wilcox was accustomed to say that "Capt. Brunson, instead of a captain, shouid have been a br igadier general in the Confederate armies." Mr. J. J.

The thrifty housewife will can an abundance of this luscious fruit, for next year we won't have any at all. Mr. Spann Barr has sent us a couple of heads of cabbage that remind us of Buncombe county, X. C., and the famed valley of the French Broad. And the best thing about this thing is that friend Spann has half an' acre of the same sort. Death of Mrs. H. J. Williams. This estimable lady died at the home of her son, Leon J. Williams, in Edge field county, last Saturday morning, Mrs. Williams was a sister of J. C. and Orlando Sheppard, of Edgefield, an aunt of Mrs. W.H. Yeldell, of Long mires, Lafayette and Arthur Sheppard of this place. She was G2 years old and leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss-Green wood Journal. Mrs. Elizabeth Nicholson. The death of this aged and highly esteemed lady at her home seven miles north of Edgefield, on last Thursday removes another one of our ancient landmarks. Mrs. Nicholson was in many respects a most remarkable wo man. She was the mother of the late Gen. B. E. Nicholson, at one time clerk of court of Edgefield county. School Commissioner A. R. Xicbolsod is an other son. Mrs. Sumpter Boatwright and Mrs. John Blocker, widow of the late Capt. Blocker, are her only sur viving daughters. Mrs. Nicholson was 87 years of age at the time of her death, and during this long lease of life was noted for her generous hos pitality and uncompromising integ rity. Previou- lo her m.-.rriage she was a Miss Threewits, and was closely related to Miss Emily Geiger of revo lutionary fame. Many will mourn her death as a {?personal bereavement who were in no wise related, and to her own family of children and grandchildren their mourning will belong continued. But she was a Christian and in this they will find an abundant hope of meeting beyond the vale of tears. Club Meetings. The Mi'ler's store democratic club will meet at Miller's store next Satur day, July 23rd at 4 P. M., to reorgan ize. All parties interested are request ed to be present. . J. B. COURTNEY, Pres. I C. A. LONG, Sec'ty. Wise Township Club will meet a-, Horn's Creek church for reorganiza tion on Friday, July 28th, at 3 P. M. By order S. B. MAYS, Pres. J. P. SULLIVAN, Sec'ty. Let ?s Whoop I Col. S. H. Hardwick, Ass't Tass. Agent of the great Soi Railway, was in our town on Wt day last. In a short talk wit! gentleman we learned that he 1 Edgerleld looking after the con of the Gap road recently leased line. He told us the policy c Southern was never to bottle town, but rn thor to build it up ways they could legitimately, generally speaking, the prosperi the towns prospered the railroad passed through them. The Oap bed is already receiving much n repairs. Xew coaches and engine been put on, new cro?sties and t timbers are already in situ, and erally, old "Tumblin" is lookin; (not up the spout, mind you.) Hardwick intimated pretty stn that a new passenger depot wot built at thc present terminus o road on Main street, doing away the present depot except for fr purposes. The most significant encouraging thing' to us-in this m is, not that our little road is to b proved, but the simple fact thai I Southern has "taken hold" of the road at all. It means that the ant ties of that road see something ii deal, and if there is anytln g in i them it is there likewise for the of Edgefield. Let us whoop ! And Arthur Knows. A. S. Tompkins, Esq., who has returned from a trip in the cou says that the rural "deestricts" ar nearly so rural as you might supp for-instance, you eat at the fart table store bought Hour, store bo grits, meat, lard, in fact everythii bought instead of being grown or farm. The smoke-house is abandi to the rats, who starve by plate The old corn crib of ante bellum ti of generous proportions, still sta but it is the most forlorn looking1 ject in all the landscape. It rein; Arthur, with its one sack of she corn sitting in the middle of the ll of a single, solitary buzzard on dead limb of a blasted pine tree, thur says the farmer having aband ed the smoke-house to the rats and rats having ail died, the farmer i has appropriated a little GxS root his dwelling to hold his rations. A*? into this little hole and you will s< little sack of so-called Hour in one < n ?r "-?out the size of a shot ba;;, sitt o? a.chair you will see another pa sack of meal and gaits, and that J the bill, except a rasher ol' white ni tied to a string from the joist, tba all. Xo wonder the farmer man doe? ask you to "light and stay all nig as he used to in the good old fat tir before the war. Ile just can't afl'or and you wouldn't enjoy it either, asking a fellow to "light and stay night" before the war. you had I general assurance that he wasn't bi gry, but if he was you could lill li up. Xow, in these latter days, if j ask bim to "light" you may be sure will .lo oo, -.hal. s is hungry, and Ll you can't fill him up to your satisf; tion or his either. Arthur says he si only one good result from the dei dance of the corn crib and the smol house, it is this : The rats have neal all left the country. The Standard Square Bale. To Cotton Ginners: We take the liberty of callii your attention to the imr>~rtan< of exerting all your efforts .ii favi of the adoption of the standar size cotton bale, which is a ba made iu a press-box, rneasurii on the inside, 24 inches wide b 54 inches long, and deep enou^ to make a bale weighing abor 500 pouuds. The complaints made by tl Transportation Companies and tl Foreign Mills, about the di Acuities of stowing different s?2 bales, and the damaged conditio in which the American cotton i received, are so numerous that w are eure a great discrimim tion will be made against ou cotton next season, unless there i a change made and au universa size bale adopted and enforced. After a number of experiment with bales of all the difieren sizes it was found that the bes results could be had irom thos made in press-boxes 24 inche wide by 54 inches long, and thi size has been adopted as the stand ard by all the Cotton Grower Associations in the Western au< Gulf States; also by the Conven tion in Allanta, Ga., last May. This size (24x54) was found t< press to a greater density and when pressed at the Compress the bagging usually placed on i bale of cotton would then cove; the bale completely and preven any damage. j It is well understood that th( more cotton that can be stowec in a steamer, the less thc freight and consequently, the more the cotton grower will receive tor h if crop. It naturally seems that t few inches in ihe size of bales would make no difference, but ?J few inches running irregularly through an ocean steamer aniouutf. to a great loss of space, and in stowing bales of irregular sizes, they are so screwed in odd shaped spaces as to often break, and nearly always are torn and twisted out of shape by the time they reach the Foreign Ports. The lost spaces also form air pas sages and in case of afire the dam age is much greater, consequently the insurance is higher than it should be. The same complaints are made by the Railroads, and by the Mills when they put their cotton in Warehouses. We think we have fully explained the reasons for thia change, aud that it is to your interest to do all that is in your power to have every one make this change by uaxt season. As a general rule, press-boxes will have to be made smaller, either one -way or both. This can be done with very little expense by lining the inside with boards, one lining on another where the size is to be reduced several indies. Theri the follow block can be sawn oft' to fit the box. The cost of making this change in most cases will not exceed $5.00. This amount is too small to spare, and thereby con tinue to suffer the loss caused by discriminations in the past, as well as additional ones that will surely follow. The European mills use about three-fourths of our cotton crop, and of course they have a great deal to do with the price of cotton, therefore it is to our interest to see that it is in the condition they want it, and "by reducing the damage and the cost of transportation, the grower will get that much more for his cotton. We have received letters from a majority of the Ginners in our territory, and they promise to alter their press-boxes to the standard size. We respectfully solicit the co-operation of all growers, and those interested in the cotton crop, to urge upon the Ginners the importance of making all bales of the standard size, as the success of this movement and the benefits to be derived from it, depend upon them. We are confident that a large majority of the Ginuers will make this charge, but it is necess ary that the change be as near universal as possible. We are anxious to hear from those that are interested in this movement, and especially those that have made this change. Yours very truly. J. H. SLOAN, Augusta, Ga. UNION MEETINGS.

Johu J. McMahan. The opinion of The Press and Staudard, based upon the general expressions of the people, is that McMahan will lead the race for State Superintendent of Education in Colleton county. From personal contact with him, and from his reputation as an educator, we conclude that Jhe is eminently worthy of the position he seeks. The Calhoun Gazette pays him the following warm tribute: "His whole existence seems to be wrapped up in a desire to disseminate knowledge, a wish to broaden and enlighten the minds of his fellow-creatures. No man ever had a higher purpose.in seeking on office, because there he believes he cp.u best use the powers of his heart to advance the educahou of the poor youths of this State, because he knows, as few know, their crying need.
