Mr. Broadwater is & recent graduate of the Hephzibah high school, and although this is his first experience in teaching he has demonstrated himself to be a born teacher and moral trainer. The coming among us of Messrs. J. N. Griffis and W. 0. Whatley to make their homes eternally in our midst is a source of much pleas ure to us, and adds much to our community. We are having floods of rain and cyclonic winds, together with Klondical temperature, hence farmers are far behind in plowing and our fields indicate that the proverbial wolf will ere long make us a special call.

TOWNSHIP BOND CASES. The following letter from Col. Croft to Col. Jim Tillman gives the up-to-da?e status of the Rail road bond cases recently heard in Charleston by Judge Brawley. Col. James H. Tillman, Edgefield S. C. My Dear Jim : I wrote you a short note in reference to the case of Post vs. Pickens Township ?ftitfj upon bondi issued by said Town ship in aid of the Carolina, Cum ber and (Jap and Chicago Railway, but now write to give you a full report. This case was tried before Judge Braw ley io the United States Circuit Court, at Charleston, on Saturday; the 8th, and Monday, the 10th of April inst. Judge Brawley instructed the Jury to find for the Plaintiff. The case is one of much interest to the Township. I have given notice of appeal, and am hopeful of. revers ing the judgment. While it is true that the Jury,under the instruc tion of the Judge, found a verdict agaust the Township, yet we have so far saved the Towmhip the Bum of $2,835; we having succeeded iu cutting down that a:nount off thein terest by the plea of the Statutes of Limitations, and I hope to cut off $2,250 on accoun t of the principal. You will remember that one-twentieth of the bmds fell duo each year. Icon tended that all of the instalments which were past due for the ?eriod of six years before the' commen cement of this action, are also bar red by the Statute. If the Judge adopts our view, on that point, it will be a fur ther saving of $2,250 more on the principal of the debt. You will 6ee therefore we have saved for the Township $2,825 on the claim of interest, with the probability of saving $2,250 more on the principal. This, without reference to the appeal, and I am still very hopeful of winning the entire ca?e on the appeal. The bonds were delivered by the Com missioners, on the express under standing that Mr. Potts would build that section of the road from Edgefield to Greenwood ; but after Potts got possession of the bonds he disposed of them, and did no part of th? work. It is a direct fraud upon the tax payers of the Township ; the fight we are making is rigth morally, and we should defend the case to the very last. In a few days, the case of the National Exchange Bank vs. Pickens Township will be tried at Greenville. This luit, as you will remember, is upon bonds given in aid of the Newberry, August?, and Edgefield Railroad. The amount .ued for, with interest, is about $9,000. We will have to Attend Court at Greenville sometime ibis month, and defend this case. I propose that, we shall content every inst) of ground, for in my judgment, as stated above, we still have grounds to believe that the cases CHU be finally won. The conditions as they now ntand, are most remarkable. The Supreme Court of our State holding that the bonds are null aud void, and the U. S. Court, so far, nave sustained their validity. This difference should, and I believe will be finally reconciled, by the Federal Court deciding the same way as our State Court has decided. The Federal Courts, on a question of involving the construction of a Statu Cou ititution and State laws, usually followed the deciiious of tho State Courts, and as oar own decisioiib are very plain, I hope yet to get the higher Federal Courts tt follow the decisions of the State Supreme l/ourt. I will see you personally iu a few days, when we can arrange about tho trial at Greenville. I aro, Very truly yours, G. W. CROFT. Up-to-date Chattel Mortgages. Lie rift Titles to lien!

EDITOR: We regret to lean: that our friend Mr. William Bur rell, now in his 77th yeir, ie slow ly but very perceptibly surely nearing the end. Near two years ago be was stricken down with paralysis, and ever since then his Bufferings bave been intense, and his afflictions have rested heavily and wearily upon him. And long ?has he been waiting, hoping, pray ing, for a surcease of his ache? aud pains, and for reat-rest on the other side. And doubtless of ten, in the agony of his soul, has he gently murmured to the Lord of All: "I'm kneeling at t faint and sore Waiting ' for the opening of the i ? Waiting till the M 'rise and come, To the felcry of His . gladness of His h For fifty years t. - known BiJly Burr all those long fifty years he has ever been the same even-tempered, kind-hearted, good and true Billy Burrell-always ready to serve a friend, generous to almost a fault, and an honorable man ever. In 1S46, when Capt. Pieston S. Brooks was organizing a company for the Mexican war, he was among the first to enroll as one of the "Nine ty-six Boys," and all during that war-at Very Cruz, at Contreras, at Cherubusco, everywhere, he prov ed himself a6 galiant a soldier as ever went on the battle field. Af ter the war, for many years he pursued his former business, house-painting, and bis work was always well and faithfully done At the opening of the Confederate war, with the noble Elbert Bland, he promptly went to the front, and throughout the war discharged his whole duty as a brave and manly mau. But now this good man and good soldier-the last but one (Joseph Culbreath) now living cl that gallant band of heroic sons from Edgeiield who served their country so proudly in Mexico, is gently passing away. And it be hooves ui-people of EdgefieldjOf Johnston, of Trenton, to go aud see him, and cheer him up, and show him our regard for him, and make his las!: days ai peaceful aud ay pleasaut as possible whilst he lingers.with us. He is still in the Colgan family, at Trenton, with whom bp has resided for many years. They hare always beni good to him-he has always been good to them. Go and see bim there, and dont dolay. And thou he will not vainly plead "Oh! friends, I pray to-night, Keep not jour kinse. for my dead,cold brow The way is lonely-let me feel them now ; My faltering fett are pierced with many a thorn, Forgive, oh! hearts beloved, forgive plead When dreamless rsst is mine I shall not need The tenderness for which I long to night."
