Edfifefield Advertiser Tl?OS. J. ADAMS, - - EDITOR WEDNESDAY, OnT. 19. Yellow fever is spreading in Mississippi, it having taking hold of 17 counties. Second South Carolna Regiment will be sent to Cuba to do garrison duty. _ The News and Courier is of the opinion that there will be several material changes made in the dis pe. :sary law at the next session of Legislature. Attorney General Townsend has decided that the State had no right to sell land that was a burial ground and that such property is not taxable. A Louisiana paper remarks that the man who undertakes to raise five cent cotton and a family simultaneously will be very apt to find himself overcropped. Mrs. Ayes, a Missouri woman, who got a divorce from her'hus band because he insisted on going to Klondike, reconsidered when he came back with $20,000 worth of nuggets, became Mrs. Ayes again and now^puts on $20,000 airs. The Spaniards fear that the war between the United States and Spain may be .resumed. It is reported from the interior that the hitch in the peaco negotiations is causing a painful impression among the people. The bottom of the Pacific ocean between California and Hawaii is so level that a railroad could be laid for, a distance of 500 miles without any grading. Thero are portions of the! Atlantic also where the bottom for a long dist ance is on a dead level. In Texas the Republican and Populist fusionistshave nominated a blind man for congress. Another illustration of the .blind leading the blind. In this State they are not nominating any blind men, they are only presuming on the blindness of the people they expect to vote for them. Mr. S. J. T. Young, who is a a very careful and intelligent far mer, while in conversation with us a few days ago, said that he thrashed out 40 bushels of wheat from two acres of land this y6ar. He will increase his crop by sev eral acres this fall. Wateree ' Messenger. Jos. Stufirtzback, of Steven's Point, Wisconsin, Las come to the conclusion that a woodshed is not the best kind of a place to deposit money. He tried it. He had a nice hole dug in the floor, put his money in a tin box and covered it so that no one would look for lucre theie; While he was gone from home the other day prospectors struck the leud and lifted the box with the $16,500 it contained. Does farming pay? In answer to this question asked by itself, the Chester Reporter says: uOf course, it does. Mr. F. H. Barber has already gathered this year, from a one-horse farm on his Richburg place, twelve bales of cotton averaging over 500 pounds and made plenty of corn to supply the farm for a year. On the Bame place he harvested forty-nine bushels of. wheat from three acres Does farming pay? If not, why not?-' The tobacco planters are pros perous this year as a rule, and the majority of [them have made money on their crops. Those who have diversified their crops and in addition to growing full provision crops have planted both cotton and tobacco do not feel the low price of'cott?n so seriously as the all cotton farmers. The ?farmers of this section of the state must eventually, plant diversified crops if they would make a living and at tain any degree of prosperity. Four cent cotton should prove a con vincing argument in favor of tobacco culture and diversified farming* in general-Suinter Watchman and Southron. "WHAT SCHOOL TO ATTEND. What school to attend puzzles the minds of many prospective students, and it is well that they should consider this? very impor tant point in selecting a school. There are many features that should be carefully considered by a student befcre he or she de termines what school to enter, for they are not likely to attend but one, and in this, to a great extent, rest the desiiny of the student's life. Attend a school that has a thorough course of study, presented by teachers who understand their business. The course of *tudy has much to do with the Btudent when he or she leaves the school-room and goes out into practical life. If the student has had the advant age of a course that is up-to-date, thoroug and practical, he need not fear to meet the business world with all its intricacies and push. Attend a school where the course is thorough, the teachers ex perienced and above the average, and you will go out in the world qualified and better prepared to battle with, the competition of business.-Ex. Such school and such teachers are to be found at the South Caro lina Co-Educational Institute in this old town of ours. We com mend it and them to the patronage of our people. UNION MEETINGS.

R.T. STROM, Mod'r. T. E. BYRD, Clerk. Looking Backward and Forward "Turn, turn my wheel ! turn round and round, Without a pause, without a sound ; So spins the flying world away ! This day well mixed with marl and sand. Follows the motion of my hand; For some must follow and some com mand, Though all are made of clay !" Just one year has passed, flown away rapidly on the wings of time, 6ince I, on a gloomy rainy, day, penned you my last letter. How paradoxical is the signification of the term, "just one little year," and yet so many changes have taken p!ace during that time. Many who were troubled and cast down this time last year, are "now raised to the highest pinnacle of hope and happiness. While for others, many a fond hope and bright ambition has faded away, buried in the ashes of the un changable past. How many once strong andhealthy foims,have been stricken by disease or 'disaster of some kind and ushered into the presence of the Great Judge to give an account of the deeds .done in the body. We sometimes think of moments as being very brief, yet how vast they seem when we consider that each one hastens the end of our pilgrimage, and yet how insignifi cant they are in comparison with futurity ! Season follows season in rapid succession.- Again autumn with all of its beauties, its pleasures, and disappointments, is upon us. I wonder if the next twelve months will bring about as many changes to the people of Edgefield as have the last (?). Last fall peace and even prosperity smiled upon this loved southland of ours. Since that time the ravages of war has been upon us. 0,1 do trust that p jace and good will will soon be restored to us, that strife, hatred, revenge, and malice between nations will end. It is to be hoped that ere long the brave men who shouldered their muskets so nobly to go to the relief of the suffering will soon be home again with their loved ones, and that bleeding Spain will see the errors of her ways and seek to amend them before it is too late. We sincerely hope that poor darkened Cuba, and divers islands scattered' around her, will Roon have the spiritual light that they have been I so much in need of as far back as we have any account. Let us hope" that ere the rains of many summers pass by that tropical clime, there will be churches and schools well sprinkled all over those islands. To my mind the greater portion of their darkness and suffering is being buried now, and this year will be the white stone in their his tory to tell of their deaths. I could write more on a subject of which my heart is full, but time speeds onward, and other duties are already making demands claim ing my attention for a time. "Stop, stop, my wheel ! too soon, too soon, The noon will be the afternoon, Too soon to-day be yesterday : Rebind us in our path we cast The broken potsherd of the past, 1 And all are ground to dust at last, And trodden into clay." VIVIAN MELBAINE. Yellow fever has become epidemic in Mississipi and Louisa ua, and the situation is very alarming. An inquest was held over the remains of the Populist party in Georgia last week. Georgia Negro Preacher to his flock; "We khave a collection to make this morning, and for the glory of heaven/which ever of-you stole Mr. Smith' sheep don't put anything on the plate."
