son of Mrs. J. C. Swearingen, and
George Henry Bunch aforesaid.
Mr. Harry Hill, who has given the
matter some consideration, is opposed
to the adoption of the round hale by
Southern ginners. He thinks that, in
asmuch as the round bale people refuse
to sell their machinery, but only lease
it temporarily, that in a few years they
will have a monopoly, the square bale
machinery being out of the way, and
will tfrind the cotton grower more
than he is ground at present.
A sensible husband said to his wife
the other day, "Ji?ue, don't spend a
cent with merchants who don't adver
tise." The wife who is a business wo
man, replied : "You old goose, I learn
ed better long ago than to go where I
was not invited. You would be an old
bachelor now if you had not invited
me to be your wife. Catch me going
to a store without an invitation. I
guess not."
.For three days last week the ther
mometer is baid to have reached the
unprecedented figure of 102 in our
town. "We do not remember ever to
have seen the regirter so high. In the
city of Columbia it went to 103, and
Saturday Jlast in Greenwood 105, but
the delightful rains of Sunday p. m.
relieve us of any apprehension that
the mercury will ba called upon to do
anymore such exploiting, for a while
at lea?t.
"We understand thal the county com
missioners at their last meeting levied
an extra tax of one-fourth of a mill on
the taxable property of Edgefield
county with which to buy a road ma
chine and to work tho roads. We also
understand that County Attorney X. G.
Evans advised against this extra tax,
but they downed him it seems.
During the absence of Dr. J. Glover
Tompkins in Philadelphia, which will
bc tor several weeks, Dr Marsh will
be assisted in the Tompkins-Marsb
practice by that old wheel horse, Dr. J.
Walter Hill. Dr. Tompkins goes to
Philadelphia to attend clinics in a pri
vate hospital, in that city, to get on
to the latest and best methods of the
treatment of diseases at the head and

ter of Judge John C. Furman, of Texas,
late of Edgefield, and is a most beau
tiful young lady of the brunette type,
and is moreover a charming and viva
cious conversationalist. Edgefield ex
tends to hera hearty welcome, and it
is to bs hoped that she maybe per
suaded to make this her permanent
home.
On Monday morning of this week
Mr. Sam Gardner, of the Petri sect ion,
set out three acres in sweet potatoes*
Of course this was not his first setting
out. He had three or four acres al
ready planted before the rain. And
Icicle Dan McClendon, of the same
section with Mr. Gardner, set out four
acres in sweet potatoes, but then
"Uncle Dan" is a sweet potato farmer.
He bedded ten bushels in the early
spring and set cut a couple of acres
from the first drawing. And if it
don't rain he doesn't wait, but sets out
and waters. "Uncle Dan" is an all
round sure good farmer.
Cards are out announcing the mar
riage of Miss Mamie E., the eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Chat
ham to Mr. Janies G. Hilton. The
marriage will take place next Wednes
day, June the ]4th, at toe residence of
the bride's parents. Miss Mamie is an

lady worthy of the love and esteem ol'

gratulations to the bride and groom

Edgefield makes a notable record
this year in the various colleges of the
State, for instauce : Mr. John Eldred
Swearingen graduates at the Sout.li
Carolina College with first honors, re
ceiving the highest marks ever given
at that institution. Miss Kate Goode
Carter and Miss Sallie Dantzler grad
uate at Winthrop with the degree of
A. . B. Miss Effie Sheppard at Green
ville Female College with degree of
B. E. Miss Lizzie Teague, grand
daughter of Dr. H. Parker, graduates
at Converse College. To say nothing ol
one of our S. C. C. I. graduate! who
won th? West Point cadetship in the
competitive examination at Blackville
a few weeks ago. And there are oth
ers no doubt whose names we have not
seen.
The good natured controversy
between Rev. R. W. Audersju, of
our town, and the editor of The
State as to whether "'nigger" should
be spelled with one "g" or two, re
minds us of something Beast But
ler said on one occasion before he
died. Of course he said it before
bodied, if he said it at all. for he
has not been heard from since.
What he said was this : "That if
you wai t to move in the best so
ciety in the South you must spell
nigger with two 'g's'." Of course
this was a slander on the South,
for we invariably spell the word
with one *'g" in writing, but ia or
dinary conversation it takes two
"g's" to do UP.

Accident to Rev. J. C. Abney.
Rev. J. C. Abney was one of the
party who started from here yes
terday at noon to attend Governor
Ellerbe's funeral at Sellers, huton
account of a bad accident he was
preveuted from going. While the
special was flying past Congaree
station at the rate of 40 miles an
hour Mr. Abney, who was sitting
next to au open window ou the
right side of the car, was stiuck on
the arm by , some object which
fractured the radius, the exterior
bone of the forearm. The acci
dent was rather mysterious. Mr.
Abney was rPdting his right arm
on the wiudow sill when something
struck it with such force as to
break the bone. It is thought that
a stick of wood fell from the tender,
struck a box car on a side-track
and rebounding, bit; Mr. Abney.
The marks of the lick were plaio?y
visible on the window sill, and it
wu8 evident that the blow inucd
have been accompanied by consid
erable force, so that one supposi
tion is that the object was thrown
at the train, but tb.it. seems im
probable.-'The State. June 9.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by him
as follows : "I was in a most dread

pain continually in ? ack and sides,
no appetite-gradually growing
weaker day by day. three phy

Address Fruin the Governor.
To the People of South Carolina:
In the. providence of Almighty
God, his Excellency, Wm. H.
Ellerbe, late Governor of South
Carolina, has passed to his reward.
I regret the sad eveut. which makes
it necessary for me to assume the
duties of Governor of South
Carolina. The constitution, how
ever, is mandator}\ 1 have taken
?the oath ol' office and assumed
formal control of tho executive de
partment to-day. I have thought
it proper to.addr^ss a word to the
people of the Slate.
I realize fully the responsibility
of the postion. I shall endeavor
to be faithful and conscientious in
the discbarge of duties which
! shall be mine.
ID the wisdom which devised
i our system of government three
distinct departments were made
-the legislative, the executive,
the judicial-to make the laws,
to execute the laws, to interpret
the laws. Under our own con
stitution they are to "be forever
separate and distinct from each
other," and no person exerising the
duties of tbe one shall assume to
discharge the duties o?: tho other.
It is a wise provision. My duty
mainly is to see that the laws aB
placed on the statute books by the
legislative department are en
forced. This I shall attempt todo
faithfully and impartially, and
without fear or favor, following
only where duty points.
lu doing so, however, I ask and
shall expect the hearty cooperation
of every officer in South Carolina,
whether he holds a State office, a
county office, or an office under a
municipality. Not only so, but I
ask the hearty support and encour
agement of every citizen of South
Carolina in the enforcement of
law, in the promotion and advan
cement and progress of our own
commonwealth. I realize the
impotency of of any officer, however
faithful" he may be, who does not
have this support.
We are on the eve of a gi eat
industrial advance-in manufac
ture, education, commerce, and
agriculture-and I stand ready to
contribute; my part as citizen and
officer lo this forward industrial
movement, and to do anything in
my power for the welfare of my
people- I have no political
punishments to inflict and no
polifical rewards to pay. It shall
be my aim and steadfast purroso
to give the people of the State a
strictly business administration,
and to be the Governor of all tho
people. To this end I seek their
sympathy, their counsel, and their
prayers, praying myself that peace
and happiness and prosperity may
como to every home in South
Carolina.
Yours respectfully,
M. B. McSweeney,
Gov. of South Carolina.

A Magnificent Home;
Aiken, June 6.-Judge George
Beckwith, a New York millionaire
banker, merchant and jurist, has
just purchased Kalmia, a beauti
ful suburb of Aiken, S. C., upon
which he will erect a residence
which will be second in the South
only to George W. Vanderbilt's
palace, Biltmore, near Asheville,
N. C. The residence will be sit
uated in the midst of a park ter
raced on four sidos throughout
seventy-five t:cies of land; There
will be thirty-seven rooms, above
the average _si/.e, fronting * hall
way twenty-two feet wide and
sixty-one feat long. The drp.wing
room will be a dream of luxury
and spaciousness. It will be nine
teen by. thirty-seven feet, and ad
joining a dining room nineteen by
t'venty-four feet and a consHrvra
toiy eighteen by thirty-two feet.
From Judge Beckwith's hospitable
board may be viewed this conserva
tory filled with the choice plants
ol'the world and lighted by elec
tricity from an. independent plant,
which will supply lights Lot only
for the park, but for 200 or more
acre6 devoted to stables and amuse
ment grounds, a race course and
polo games. A road to Aiken will
be graded 300 feet wide and fin
ished with white sand aud gravel,
"Ocher Die Sterne Ist Ruh.".,
Tis a weary world, dear boort, I know,
There's many a cause for a sigh,
Buh, surcease comes for the work and
woe
In the beautiful bye and bye;
And the tired heart and the fevered
brain
Will find from the stern behest
Relief from all the rack and pain,
For "over the stars is rest."
For the trial here is a triumph there,
For a pain is a palm on high,
And a laurel wreath f jr a thorn of care,
Awaits in the bye and bye;
And a jeweled crown for the cruel
cross
Is kept for ihe faitnful blest,
A crown of gold-no earthly dross
And "over the stars is rest."
So the labo^of love is never vain,
Or the.weariness or the sigh,
And the purple blood from the heart
of pain
Is the pledge of the bye and bye ;
Tnen work away,;; dear heart, and
know
If ever we do our best,
For all of the wealth of work and woe
That "over the stars is rest."
