"If John C. Morgan won't run for
the legislature this time we'll run him
whether or no next time." This is
what au old farmer said in our office
the other da}-. John Morgan has no
more notion of running for office than
he has of flying, but or course if a bird
can sing and just won't sing, you'll
"hatter" make him, that's all.
A gentleman who lives at Williston,
S. C., in our office one day of last week,
made this statement: "During Prof.
Bailey's seven years of teaching in
Williston more houses were built than
in all the previous years of that towns
existence." This is a most significant
statement and means much for our
town if we only catch on and ho'.d up
Prof. Bailey's hands for up building of
our school and, pari passu, our town.
Mr. J, O. Atkinson, who works the
old Major Boswell place on the Savan
nah river side of our county, has a
field of seventeen acres that, with fa
vorable seasons, will make thirty bales
of cotton. This isn't all the cotton he
will make by any manner of means,
but this is the best cotton he has on
the whole plantation. On this same
seventeen acres last year he made
about two bales to the acre.
There will be two full moons in the
month of August. The firs" was on
Monday night, the 1st. This phenom
enon occurs only once in every three

moon and new moon is twenty-nine?
days, twelve hours, forty-four minutes
and three seconds. You can now fig
ure it out for yourself, reader, and tell
to the second when the second full
moon in August will be ripe.
N. G. Evans, Esq., one of the candi-,
dates for the House of Representatives
will be engaged at the Saluda court as
counoil in the murder cases of the
State vs. Joe Jay and the State vs.
Singbanks. His duties in these two
cases may demand his time so as to
preclude his being at the county
campaign meetings at Berea, Johnston
and Trenton, and he requests us to
make his apologies to the good people
of Edgefield county in case he does not
appear at these places, and to assure
them that his heart is with them one
and inseparable now and forever.
Messrs. Lewis Wood and Henry
Grim will provide a barbecue dinner
for the campaign meeting day, Tues

sion tobring your dinner on that- day,
it will be oheaper to buy it of Messrs.

bon that Billy Paul is to attend to the
cooking of the meats, hash, sauces, etc.
He took lessons in this art.for n?pe
years under Capt. Gus White, and Capt.
White is facile princeps of the guild.
Gen. Miles has never yet had his
picture taken in his bath tub, but in

Not a Frolicking Man.
The name of J. L. Smith is present
ed this week to the voters of Edgelield
county for the House of Representa
tives. Mr. Smith is a e:ood citizen and
the fact that be has made a success of
his own affairs-the surest and safest
test of ability-shows that he is worthy
to be entrusted with the affairs of oth
ers. We do not mean to say that Mr.
Smith is the only good man in the race
-there are other pebbles on the beacb
but as ins candidacy was announced
so late, only three weeks before the
election, the only way to give his vir
tues equal publicity with those of the
other candidates is to put them in
print. And there is one thing we are
specially authorized to promise on the
part of Mr. Smith : If elected to the
House of Representatives by the peo
ple of Edgelield county he will not do
any "frolicking," either on the floor of
the House, in the rotunda, in the base
ment, nor anywhere else on the Capa
toline hill, nor yet in the streets of the
city, or any other place, not that he is
too old to frolic or physically unable
to frolic, but because he is not of the
frolicking diathesis, to use his own
strong and vigorous Anglo Saxon : "I
am not a frolicking man,"
Who! Who! Who!
We have heard so many different
predictions made as to who would be
elected to the legislature, the Senate
and House, that we herewith give a
few of such predictions for the benefit
of our readers. Some give the follow-1
ing as sure to be eleoted :
Senate :
JOHN C. SHEPPARD.
House of Representatives :
S. T. WILLIAMS,

M. P. WELLS.
Others, equally confident, give the
following:
Senate :
T. H. RAINSFORD.
House of Representatives :
P. B. MATSON,
W. P. TIMMERMAN,
N. G. EVANS,
Another combination is, leaving out |

What an Orangehrug Paper
Says of Prof. John J.
McMahan.
Prof. J. J. McMahan is a cand
idate for superintendent of
education and wc ope that he will
be successful in the race. Mr.
McMahan is now about 32 years
old and was born and reared iu
I Fairfield county. He was born of
ondof the best families of the
.
state and was trained by a good
and pious mother in the way he
should go. He lost his father
when 3reta boy and accordingly
had a forecast of a most noble
mother and two kind and affect
ionate sisters. His handy-work
was well done and he succeeded in
entering the South Carolina
college when about 18 years old.
Though a country boy, by hard
work and attentiveness to duty he
forged to the front and graduated
at the head of his class. On account
of the stand which he took in his
classes, and high character, he was
awarded one of the scholarships,
which only go to the best students,
and after graduation was elected
one of the tutors to teach in his
college. While thus engaged in
instructing others he did not|
cease to study and with highest
honors took an A. M. He was
afterwards elected one of the
adjunct professors of the university
which position he held for several
years. Last year he was again
elected assistant professor of j
English, which position he volun
tarily surrendered to enter the
race for the position which he isl
so eminently qualified to fill and
to which he should be elected.
His whole existence seems to be
wrapped np in a desire to dissemin
ate knowledge, a wish to broaden
and enlighten the minds of his
fellow-creatures. No man ever
had a higher purpose in seeking
an office, because there he believes
he can best usa the powers of his]
head and heart tb ad/ance the
education of the poor youths of)
thia state., becaune he known, as j
few know, "their crying need.
We honestly believe that Prof.
McMahan is by far the most compe
tent man for the place and no man
has a higher moral character. We
should honor the young man who
has thus risen from a country
fanner-boy to a brilliant educator,
whose lite and character is above
reproach. No man can point to
one single low act or deed of his,
but he has alwp.ye been high in his)
conduct and in his dealings with
men. We kuow John J. McKahn,
we know him to be a honest, fear
less, brainy roan j knowing him as
we do, we bespeak for him the
votes of our fellow-citszens.- I

DE E DED TO SATAN,
I Fmdlander Dying Licaves Ins
Property lo the Devil.
J Thoro ip only one spot on tho
earth's surface that has actually
been willed, deeded and bequeath
to his satanic majesty. This spot
lies four railes and a half south of
Helsingfurs. A. few 3'ears ago
Lara Pluilariene died iu the little
torn on Pielisjaravi, in the above
named country, leaving con
siderable property in the shape of
landed estate. How he had come
into possession of so much land
no one seemed to know, but as he
was a very bad citizen it was
generally admitted that he was in
league with Wintahausu. (Satan,)
and that they had many business
deals with each other.
This somewhat startling opinion
was verified when in the home of
old Huilarine was found a box
containing a certified warranty
deed inclosed therein, which deec .
ed to Statan all his earthly possess
ions. The will was to the same
effect. The family have repeatedly
tried to break the will, but so far
have been unsuccessful. Thus
the records plainly show that his
sulphuric majesty has a legal
right and title to some excellent
grounds in the near vicinity of
Helsingfors.
The simple people of the
neighborhood have changed the
course of the Toad which formerly
skirted the Huilariene homestead
and declare that they would not
enter the possessions of Ststan
& Co for all the money that the
three estates would bring.-Pear

Porto .Rico.
Since the fates have decreed
that Porto Rico is soon to be
annexed to United States, it is well
to go back and review some of the
information which we have already
gathered in regard to our future
?nossossion.
Porto Rico contains exactly 3,670
square miles, which gives it one
four teenth tho area of Cuba .and
four times the area of Rhoc'e Is
land.
Its population is 800,000. This
includes 300,000 negroes. Its
chief cities are San Juan, Ponsc,
and San Germain.
Porto Rico's principal imports
are coffee, sugar, molasses, and
tobacco. With respect to tl
climate oi the island, it is com
parativelyjmild, and c*~ be eae?i
endured even ?D 'jaids :mmer by
inhabitants of the temperate zone.
With respect to internal im
provements Porto Rico has 470
miles of telegraph and 137 milos of
railway. She has also 170 miles of
railway under construction.
Poto Rico is naturall}' one of
the richest countries on the globe.
Its exporte for the past year
aggregated in value $14,600,000.
Under favorable conditions these
figures can be easiW quadiupled.
It is said that the finest Havana
cigars are made from Porto Rico's
tobacco, and that the coffee pro
duced in the western part of the
island is without equal.
Thus, in exchange for the
blessings of Anglo-Saxon civiliza
tion which we are about, to confer
upon Porto Rico, it seems that we
are to receive something in retur

Tidal Wave of Prosperity.
London, Aug. 5-The Statis
predicts a tidal wave of American
prosper1'ty after the war and active
European business in American
securities. "Cuba," it says, "will
give employment to avast amount
of capital, and the stimulus to
industry there will react upon the
United States. The investments
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, will particularly
benefit railways."
Doctors Can't
Cure It!
Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on tbeir
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease: on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. 8. is the only care
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy whioh goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
I was .ifflloced with Blood Poison, and the
best doctors did me no good, tbaugh I took
their treatment faith
fully. In fact, I seemed
to get worse all the
while. I took almost
every so-collod hiood
remedy, but they did not
seem to reach the dis
ease, and had no effoot
whatover. 1 was dis
heartened, for it seemed
that I would never be
ourcd. At the advice ol
a friend I thoo tooi
8. S. S., ftad began to im
prove. I contained th*,
medicine, and it oared me completely, $Pvia
in? up my health and increasing my apatite.
Although tliis was ten years ago, I ha?<e never
yet had a sign ?| the disease to re^n.

About War.
The New York Tribune says
that Senator Hoar is probably
right in saying that if public
utterances in the last ten years
had been different the present war
might have been avoided. He is
undoubtedly right in declaring
that it by no meanB follows that
because this war might under other
circumstances have been averted,
it is not a just aud honorable
war. He is perfectly logical, and
his teaching would apply to every
petty injustice. It' all the patriots
had been moderate men, like
Washington, it is probable that
the difficulties would have been
smoothed away, and the colonies
have obtained all they really
desired without a resort to arms.
But the fact that popuiar temper
rather than necessity carried the
country beyond the bounds of
conciliation did not make our
revolution any the less a just and
holy war.
