Ecteefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, AUG. 9. DEATH OF MRS. PICKENS. Many of our readers will be shocked to bear of the death of Mrs. F. W. ' Pickens, which occurred at her resi dence, Edgewood, near our town on Tuesday morning of this week, after an illness of some days. It was not ex pected that she would pass away so soon, although there were complica tions of her malady that made such an issue possible. Mrs. Pickens was a woman of de cided talent, and in her palmy days .wielded great influence in political as well as social circles. She will be buried by the side of her beloved daughter, Douscbka, in our village cemetery, IjuiiiiimmiiHitiiuitiiiiiimiiiitifiiiiniiiiiitiiiMic I LOCAL A??D PEESONAL. ? -?iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiniff Mrs. Camilla Talbert is visiting her father, Mr. Mott Parker.

Mr. Ralph Jones ? and his sister Lizielou, baye returned from a ver} j pleasant visit to relatives near John ston. Mr. Jamie Jones, who bas been at tending the Atlanta Business College, has returned home much to the delight of his many friends. Our charming young friend Miss Ella Mays Allen is much missed over in Buncombe, and it is hoped she will soon return from ber visit to Trenton. Our people will get together in this school matter-the stakes are too large, the consequences of onr aotion or want of action too momentous. Gov. Shep pard's contention in this issue, that we should "get together," is the key note and the tune should be pitched to that note. Mr. B. F. Glaoton, of Cold Spring, was in town on Monday. Mr, danton will attend the Wheat Growers Con vention at Greenwood. In speaking on chis subject of wheat growing, Mr. --G-hwton-told-, us ?. that a good many years ago he sowed nine acres in wheat and threshed out 172 bushels. The land was manured with cotton seed, but in other respects no special effort was made for a big yield. Mr. M. B. Sturkey, of Modoc, who was in town on Monday, reports crops in a desperate way in his section as well as between hie place and Edge field. The rain he says must come in a few days or the results will be dis astrous. The one hopeful sign is that Mr. Sturkey is a wheat man, and most of his neighbors, making their own wheat last year, and they expect to do so from now on. The Summer School, or rather the Trackers' Institute for Edgefleld county, begins on Thursday, the 17th August inst. Prof. W" G. Blake, of Wofford College, will have the supreme direction. Prof. Blake, if we are njt mistaken, is a grandson of the late Capt. Lewis Jones, long an esteemed resident of our town. There will be other prominent teachers present, among them Prof. Matthews, of Winns boro. Let all Edgefleld county teach ers attend. Mr. Luther-E. Jackson has removed his stock of jroods to the corner store next Mr.O. Sheppard, Jr., where Miss Ida Covar kept her millinery goods until recently. Mr. Jackson bas at this new stand of his larger and more commodious room for his increasing trade. Apropos of Mr. Jackson's re moval, he tells os that he bas made ar rangements with Mr. W. B. Parks (or Bob Parks, as everybody calls him) by which he ia to be supplied with freshly ground unbolted meal every, week or oftener; this meal will be ground at Bob's new up-to-date mill and from home grown corn or as much of that kind of corn as be can get. It U a well known fact that our Southern corn makes much sweeter and better meal than Western corn and is moreover more wholesome. Try the new meal at Jackson's wben it comes. Court convened promptly on Monday morning of this week with Judge Buchanan presiding. Solicitor Thur mond, as is his habit, was ready for the work of the session. Two cases were tried on the first day. A negro in dicted for stealing two dogs from J. A. j Holland, valued at f 15 each, was fined $100 or fout months. He told the Judge that dollars were scarcer with him than mouths, so he took the month*. The other negro was indicted for steal ing a razor and a cravat, for this he was sentenced to 18 months, pretty deai razor and cravat that. At this writing the Court is engaged in hear ing the cases against Coyle, Burnett, Howard, Coward, and "Reece, charged With killing John Webb and Will Toney, two negro bojs, which our town residents well remember.

The treasury department today made requisition upon the Burear, of Engraving and Printing for the printing of the ten million dol?an in gold certificates in the denom ination of twenty dollars each The treasurer uow holds a larg? unissued supply of certificates ol the larger denominations. It if the evident intention of tb< treasury department to be in a position to issue gold certificates freely for gold coin, should the fall movement of currency lead to f demand at the treasury for gold ?certificates in exchange for golc coin. It is to be noted that while gold coins can be freely had in denom i nat ion so f fives and tens the law restricts the issue of gold certificates to d?nominations oi [ twenty dollars or multiples thereof.

Ellerbe, brother, of the late Gov. Ellerbe, was killed either by the fast south bound passenger train No. 35, or else by foul play and placed on the track to conceal the crime. The accident happened between Sellers and Latta, and was not known in Florence until late yesterday afternoon. A negro coming along the track yesterday morning dis covered the mangled remains and reported his discovery to the agent at Latta, who notified the coroner of Marion county and J. DeJongh of this city who investigates such mattere for the Atlantic Coast Line. The accident was horrible in every detail. Portions of the man's body were found strewn along the track to Pee Dee bridge, and it is said when the train arrived a? Charleston some of his clothing and a part of the remains were taken from the trucks of the rear Pullman, car. The crew were not aware of the accident until the train recbed Charleston. It is almost impossible to tell how the accident occurred, but from the fact that the unfortunate man had that day eold tobacco at Latta, the theory of foul play has been advanced. When found his trousers' pockets were turned inside out, and one cent was found upon his person, although it is stated when lase seen he bad $5. It might be that be was murdered and placed upon the track. Mr. Ellerbe was about 25 years old and was unmarried. The remains were interred at the family burying ground at Sellers. A CLEAR MANIFEST. Patriotic and "Wise Response from Gov. Sheppard. MR. EDITOR: In the last issuoof your paper I observe two timely and thoughtful communications, one eigued by "Free Holder" and the other by "The People." Both of these writers, without unkind ness or injustice, appeal to me. Hence I will say to these gentle men, that inclination as well as in terest, dxity as well as desire, all have combined to prompt me to act as I have acted in the matter which our people have had and now have under consideration. . But, Mr. Editor, permit me to say, that you and these writers will accomplish better results by ap pealing to those who have been lees active than I have been in tho interest of our behool. I do not feel that I need to be stimulated, for I feel that up to the. present time I have discharged my duty in the matter. I feel that I can say without immodesty, and without injustice to thoBe who co-operated with me, that I inaugurated the movement which resulted in the meeting of the 28th ult. I attended the meeting and urged the adop tion of the resolution, which I offered, the purpose of which was to "provide buildings necessary for conducting a good school," as "Free Holder" expresses it. My resolution was defeated, on the first count by a vote of 43 to 42 ; on the second count by a vote of 50 to 45. How was this result accomplish ed? It is believed that every citizen of the town who is opposed to the issuance of bonds in aid of a school building, was present and voted. It is Jcnoton to be a fact, that a number-said to be 28-of those who favor bonds for such purpose, were absent from the meeting. Thus it appears that the friends of tho school are responsible for the result. Further, it is said, tbiit gentlemen voted against the reso luiion, who w?re not entitled to a vote ; it is known to bea fact that several geutleman who favored the resolut?on, and attended the meet ing, retired from the hall before the vote WES reached; if they had remained, the result would have been different. ? Thus it is perfectly manifest, that a majority of our people favor the policy of improving our school facilities; and thoa it is perfectly clear, that our disappointment is attributable to the inaction of our friends-whether such inaction was attributable to over-confidence or indifference, is immaterial. But, Mr. Editor, the meeting did great good ; it showed, as has been experienced ill hundreds of lauda ble undertakings in other lines of enterprise, that disappointment does not justify discouragement. I repeat, the meeting did much good ; it showed exactly where we stand ; it revealed the true situa tion. Now, if duty is discharged, the purpose will be accomplished. That meeting showed that our people are divided into three classes. One class favoring bonds to build a house in the Academy grove; another class favoring bonds to purchase the hotel build ing; and still another class op posed to building or purchasing a school house. You may rely upon it, that unless these conflicting in terests are reconciled, or these varying views are harmonized, no matter who leads, we will stand where we are in the matter of our school facilities. Therefore, wis dom and duty combine to demand that we take the. counsel of each other, that we reason among our selves, and adjust our differences. The policy that will promote the i nterest of any of us, will advance the welfare of all of us. No part of our people can prosper without corresponding improvement in tho condition of others. No one of us is justified in aesuming that he is right and the rest all wrong; no class of our citizens can justify themselves in holding that' the policy that they recommend is for the up-building of the town, and that the policy recommended by others is obstructive of progress. We should assume that all are act ing in good faith, and in accord ance with what they conceive to be for the best interest of all. There fore, we must make mutual con cessions, and it ia commonly put, "get together." Mr. Editor, I am grateful for what the people of Edgefield have done for me in tho past, and every time the opportunity comes to me I endeavor to deserve what they have done forme. Since I attained the age of twenty one years, there has never been a meeting, called for the consideration of matters affecting the welfare of the people of this community, that I did not attend ; and so it shall be to the end of my Hie. I regard that a crisis now con fronts our people ; we must solve our present condition wisely, or we shall repent for years to come. Let there be no bickering ; until the solution is reached ; then "let the just censure of the people attend the true event." l echo the sentiment of''Free Holder.''

Very respectfully, J. C. SHEPPARD. A Pleasant Trip Through the Philippi Section. DEAR MB. EDITOR : In travelling from Aiken iwytirward for 12 or 15 miles we find^.ourselves at Seiglers station, a beautifal hamlet, situat ed on the Cumberland Gap R. R. It is in easy reach of Augusta and Aike the former a large city on the Savannah, the latter a beauti ful little city which is the famous resort of many seeking health and happiness, and it seems that those who once come to Aiken are al* ways made Bad when the time comes to depart. The principal-. : merchants of Seiglers are Messrs?": Young & Horton and Mr. Salter, and if our prophecy comes true, it will not be long until it will be dotted with brick atores and dwell-? ingB, and indeed be a town of ' which the people of this portion of Aiken county will be proud. In this community, there are several schools within three miles of Seig lers, all of which could be console, dated and a strong central school established at the station. From the talk of those interested in edu cational matters, it seems that Seiglers will soon possess a high school second to none in Aiken county. In coining farther north we cross Shaw's Creek, a beautiful stream running with great speed toward the river. The water ie very swift, the banks narrow, and with little cost a cotton factory or flouring mill could be built and would prove a great benefit to the owners, and also to the farmers of this section, which is well adapted to wheat growing. The advantage to any one wish ing to build a factory ar9 un bounded. There is plenty of gran ite, mud, and pine timber, all of which is necessary in putting up a good building. Tnis could be had at one-half the expense required in purchasing the material in other places. Mr. Seigler has a mill in this community, and it is doing good work. Leaving the mill we come first to Mr John Ripley's. Mr Ripley is not only a good farmer, but a very fine horse trader. Mr Jesse Williams, a mah of much promise, the leader of the Philippi choir comes next. Also joining Mr Williams we find Judge G. P. Seigler, whose chief business is saw-milling. Judge Seigler, also has a very fine crop. Judge Seigler is a man who believes in education, having edu cated his sons in some of the best colleges in the State, Next we come to Mr J. E. Tim merman's beautiful home. It is presided over by his wife, a lady of marvelous graoe. The most at- j tractive feature of this happy home are thoao beau tifuljl i tile twin girls, indeed the pride of mother and mother and father's heart. Across the road is nearing completion a large modern gin house. In this house will be put one of the latest gin systems whioh will gin and pack 25 bales per day. The water is brought half a mile at the rate of 1,000 gallons per hour by a hy- . draulic ram. This great gin sys- . tem is owned by Mr J. E. Tjm- ; merman and Dr R. H. Timmer ate ers on ese .50. $3.

The feuce will not only hold the smallest pig, lut is sufficient to hold the largest elephant of Bar n urn's show. The next place is the home of Dr Price Timmerman. It is situ ated on a beautiful spot, surround ed by a thicket of very tail long leaf pines. It is indeed a well chosen spot upon whicb to build. Mrs Timmeimau and the Doctor are very entertaining, and we shall be pleased to partake of their hos pitality again in the near future. We were pleased while on this trip to meet the honored State Treasurer, a man who is loved not only in Edgefield,"but wherever he is known.

There has not been a complete failure in wheat in 15 years. The soil is porous, quickly absorbing (he water after a rain. The climate is specially suited to consumptive and asth matic people who need a dry "at mosphere. Had the health seekeis seen Seigl?rs instead of Aiken they would have preferred to live there We trust'that the day will not be far distant when we 6hall be permitted to mingle with and en joy the hospitality of these God fearing people.

Because, in addition tobe mg delighuul stimulants, pure wines are the basis of nearly every tonic preparation in the world and are unexcelled to build up the system and quiet the nerves. THIS IS FOR HEALTH'S SA.KF. 2nd. Because, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, where children become accustomed to the moderate use of wines on the dining table and otherwise in the household, they never acquire a taste for heavy intoxicants. THIS IS FOR JEf?PERAflCE' SAKE. - 3rd. Because, the United States has facilities (climatic and in dustrial) for making more wines than any other nation, and yet France produces annually 1,100,000,000 gallons to our 25j000.000. This is an industry which, if fostered, would thrive mightily and give employment to thousands. THIS IS FOR PROSPERITY'S SAKE.
