Edeefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, MAY 3. DEATii< OF CAPT. LYCURGUS ... ; CHARLTON. "He seemed the thing he was, and joined Each office of the social hour To noble manners, as the dower And native growth of noble mind, And thus he bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman.'1 Died, at his home in this town, on Saturday morning, the 29th ef April, Capt. Lycurgus Charlton, iu the 72d year of his age. The demise of this honorable and honored, and good and worthy citizen, causes universal lament throughout our town, and we all feel and deplore his loss, and will long miss byj friendly greeting, kind word?, wise counsel and gen tle admonition, tor we all loved him-white and black alike-and held him in high regard. Truly, he was one of nature's noblemen, and. more, "an honest mau-the noblest work of God." Capt. Charl toa was a native of Tennesse, and when the civil war began between the States, he promptly allied himself on the side of the Confederacy, and with a regiment from his State, was as signed to the Western army, where his gallantry was conspicuous and, at the battle of Shiloh, whilst leading his company, he received a around in the left arm necessi tating amputation. But his ardor for the cause and rights of the South were as buoyant as ever, and though he could not 1? nger wield the sword, yet he continued in the service, and was transferred to South Carolina asa recruiting officer. And whilst thus engaged, he met the beautiful and accom plished Miss L'izzie Dozier, daugh ter of the wealthy and prominent old Mr. Allen Dozier, of the Saluda section, and ere long they were happily married; and happily they have lived and loved from thence on, and on, and on, until now alas ! stern cold death sepa rates them ! A link in the golden chain haE been broken ! But per haps only for a littie while ! And theii the re-union "on the other side" will be a joy eternal, and love for evermore. "We must all die ? All leave, ourselves, it matters not where, when, Xor how, so we die well; and can that Man that does so Need lamentation for him?" HELP ALONG EACH OTHER. "If any little love of ours Can make one life the sweeter, If any little care of ours Can make one step the fleeter, If any little help may ease The burden of another, God five us love and care and strength To help along each other." ^imimiintiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiuiniiniiiiiiiiuinitin? I LOCAL AND PERSONAL. | siiwriiiimniiuiiHmnuiiHinm?Mmii?iiiiiimir? "A mt-rry heart doeth good like a medicine." Our editor is gone again. And told us to look for him "wheu the whistle blows." We are delighted to state that Mrs J. M.Jones, who it was thought had a slight paralytic stroke some three weeks since, is now up ?nd about, and almost well again. Senator and Mrs. B. R. Tillman were in town on Sunday, and were present w*ith che large audience, who had as sembled at the Baptist church to pay tribute to the memory of Judge L. Charlton. Dr. W. E. Prescot*, of the Red Hill section, was on our streets on Satur day last, and seemed quite hopeful of a good crop year-and reported that farmers generally in his nrighborhood -white and black-were all working with a .vim, and striving with might and main for a big crop at gathering time. Last week we had something to say about one Rev. Wm. Peters on,, colored, up in the Richardsonville neighbor hood, inciting the negroes in that vi cinity to riot, murder, utz. Xow, from current reports, and from a card Rev Teterson publishes in the Xews and Courier, it seems there was no iounda tion for the ugly rumors against bim. and we are glad that such' is the case Major M. C. Butler, (Cab), youngest son of Gen. M. C. Butler, and brother of our Dr. Frank Butler, holds an im f jrtant ofljce under the United States government in the city of Havana, Cuba. His popularity is such that the Cubans have named a brand of cigar ettes after him, a package of which lies before us at. this writing, the su perscription on which reads as follows : (El Album.) Commandante Butler que enaholo la bandera American en V Captain Gen eral. Mr. D. A. Tompkins, the cotton mill and mill machinery man of the South, was with us on Saturday and Sunday last. He was in the main looking after his milling interests here,of which he is|very?proud, and of a right ought to be. And he brought with him several very handsome designs for our Confederate monument, which the ladies are going to build-in the "sweet by and by." And further, we think thal that au dacious little fellow Cupid has given him a little personal affair to look after. But-but-more later. For the information of those of our farmers-the all-cotton farmers-those who believe in raising 4 cents cotton -and buying 65 cents corn and forage -we respectfully beg to state thar merch.mt W. W. Adams has sold at a Dice profit all the 30 tons of pea vine hay he raised last year on a few acre? of ground, and with but little work. But that next year he will be prepared to accommodate quite a number of th? all-cotton fellows as he says, he can beat 4 cents cotton with pea vine hay at 50 cents per hundred. And gener ally Capt. Adams is noted as beinga level-headed man. The regular quarterly meeting of iheEdgefleld Hussars will be held at the Gary place, Saturday, May Otb. There will also be a barbecue dinner on this occasion. Be sure to attend the entertainment given at the Opera House by the teach ers of the S. C. C. I. Friday nignt. May 5tb. The drama to be rendered is called "The Mouse Trap" and is a very laughable play. General admission 25c; students and children 15c. Tickets will be on sale at the door. The re ceipts of the last entertainment re duced the debt on the S. C. C. I. Brass Band down to $35.00. Let everybody come out on the night of the 5tb, so that the debt can be wiped out. All of the proceeds will go to paying this debt. We are Bold to Assert. And would rise to remark, that of all the abominable "Cheap John" af fairs, called entertainments, or shows? or concerts, or magic lanterns, or ne gro minstrels, and so forth, and so forth, that ever "bamboozled" the peo ple of Edgefield, that "Edwin Rostell in his Great Dramatic Sbakespcrean Plays," on Friday night last, capped the climax. A full bouse were in at tendance-the bon-toos of the town lawyers, doctors dentists, interspersed with Baptists, Methodists, Presby terians and Episcopalians, and bank presidents and cashiers, and merchants and clerks, and counter-jumpers-and everybody almost-and tneir wives and daughters and sweethearts-were ail there, on the very tip-toe of expec tancy. And then and there "Edwin Kostell," the great, the famous Edwin Rostell, proved a weakling of the first water-a full 44-calibre ?fraud-a mis erable failure. And now many so ab hor him that forever hereafter his very name will be a stench in the nostrils of our people. Plum Brauch on a Boom. Our old friend, Mr. Marion B. Stur key, of Plum Branch, honored our sanctum with a visit on Monday last, which we enjoyed very much. And he told us many pleasant things concern ing Plum Branch, au J its dear old time people, and its promising pros pective surroundings. He is emphati cally a Plum Branch man-knows to a dead certainty that the Bli.ck Diamond is "going to split the town wide open," -that Dr. Joe Jennings and some Northern capita?its are going to put up an oil mill and a yarn factory very soon-that Mr. T. W. Morton, the king merchant and leader in push and pro gress of the town, is preparing to put in two or three of the round bale Lowrey presses in his big ginning es tablishment-and that some of the Freelands will establish in the near future a fruit anti vegetable canning factory-and somebody else is going to run an ice factory andan up-to-date tannery "conjointly," and other im provements that have escaped our memory. In fact, according to friend Sturk?y, Plum Branch is "out o' sight" on the up-grade-building lots on Main street are now valued at from five to ten dollars per front foot, with a daily upward sendency-and that all is lovely and buoyant at.Plum Branch, audits people are joyous and happy and hopeful.

Railway Leased by the Southern. Charleston, April 29.-The lease of the South Carolina and Georgia to the Southern carries with it absolute control of the Augusta southern line, but the Ohio River and Charleston, the other leased line of the South Carolina and Georgia road is not included in the deal. Orders were at once issued from the Washington and New York officers of the Southern system continuing existing officials of the leased lines in service and directing them to report to the proper departments of the Southern. The deal is regarded here with much favor by the business inter ests of.the city/.especially as assur ances have already been received that Charlebton is to be made a leading Southern railway terminal point from this time on. Vice President A. B. Andrews said tonight that the South Carolina and Georgia would be equipped at once with steel rails aud the most improved rolling stock. Through passenger trains will be put on between this city and the Piedmont section of Carolina, and e through freight service via Asheville will be inaugurated between this port and the Miss issippi valley. All indications point to the fact that Charleston is about to become the leading South Atlantic port of the Southern railway system. End of the Greenwood County Lynching. Greenville, S.

Due Weet, April 27 -Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is delighted with his tour of South Carolina thus far. He came through from Charleston to this point today, standing the long ride wc 'A. Mr. Wilson was much gratified at what he saw of the cou ni ry from the car windows and platform. Pie is an entertaining talker and doubtless will be called upon at tomorrow night's oratorical contest, in which he is a judge, to make a brief address to the audience. Mr. Wilson expressed the deepest j interest in tea culture and is so much gratified at what he saw of Dr. Sheppard's tea farm at Summerville that today he said he intended to join Dr. Sheppard in his efforts, and proposed to have the government take the matter of tea culture up. He says the soil of South Carolina is specially adapted to the cultivation of tea and be lieves the industry can be introduc ed and made to develop as rapidly as the beet sugar industry in his section. He is giving some* attention to tobacco culture also, and ia charm ed with the cotton mill situation, believing that therein is to be found the future of the one crop farmer'of the south. Saturday he will inspect the electric cotton mill at Pelzer, and on leaving here will be shown something of the Piedmont section by Congr?ssmau Latimer. On Tuesday next he returns to Wash ington, and remaining there a few days will go on a similar trip to Mississippi. He has some experi ments bearing upon the culture of tobacco in view that promise great thiDgB for the growers of the weed. He was given a cordial welcome here.-r-E. J. W., in The State. Threatens a Race War. New York, April 26.-At the an nual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church in Jersey City today, Bishop Walters spoke on the recent burning at the stake of Sam Hose, colored, at Palmetto, Ga. The bishop assarted that the charge of assault which was put forward in justification of the treatment of Hose was unfound ed aud would soon be shown to be false. He warned the whites of the North that if the Negroes of the South were not given fair treatment a race war would be precipitated. "The Cubans and Filipinos," Bishop Walters said, "for whom we have spent so much money and shed so much blood to free them from Spanish oppression, were never treated so barbarously in time of peace by that government as some Negroes have been in the States of Arkansas, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. "Those who speak flippantly of our extermination," he said, "will find when that work is begun that all the white people of America will not be against the Negro any more than they ware during the civil war." Bishop Walters announced thai the first Sunday in June will bo observed a3 a day of fasting and' prayer to Almighty God for aid in this hour of distress. Raise Your Own Mules.
