THE ADVERTISER,
Edgefield, S. C.
Twelve Enterprises Edgefield
Should Have.
A Laundry.
A Yarn Mill.
A Roller Mill.
A Brick Yard.
A Hosiery Mill,
A Coffin Factory.
A Chair Factory.
A Canning Factory.
Auother Cotton Factory,
A Cheap Furniture Factory,
A Spoke and Handle Factory.
A Wood Working Establishment
for cabinet wook, mautles, doors
sash, etc.
The primary requisite in
promoting the peace and pros
perity of any community is
good government, which can
only be secured through good
laws and their faithful and
impartial execution. By tak
ing a retrospective view of
our municipal affairs,compar
ing the condition of Edge
field in former days with the
conditions that obtain at pres
ent, one is forced to admit
that our town has undergone
both a reformation and trans
formation that are marvelous.
We will refrain from pa
rading our shortcomings and
errors of the dead past be
fore the outside world. We,
however, make bold to as
sert, that there is not a
town in the state, similarly
environed, in which the mu
nicipal affairs are more satis
factorily administered than
in Edgefield. Such as bois
terous and riotous conduct,
cursing and swearing on our
streets during the day or night
are seldom seen or heard.
The reckless discharge of fire
arms, endangering life and
property, is no longer indulg
ed in. There is some drink
ing, of course, but that is
done "decently and in order,"
if we can use such a phrase
in this connection. A lady
can walk unattended any of
our streets without fear of
embarrassment.
To whom are we indebted
for the happy conditions that
exist ? Certainly to our pres
ent town officials who have
served us so faithfully and
efficiently for several consec
utive terms. With such men
at the helm we need have no
misgivings as to the future of
Edgefield.
The municipal election is
near at hand and the ADVER
TISER nominates the present
intendant and council to serve
for the ensuing term.
Through the kindness of
Mr. C. Ward, Jr., of Trenton,
we have ten copies of old pa
pers, dating back as far as the
year 1835. We have one
copy each of the Yorkville
Enquirer, of 1857, with Lew
is M. Grist, publisher, and J.
L. Miller & Co., proprietors,
and The Columbia Hive, of
Saturday morning, December
22, 1832, by A. Landrum,
Also a number of EDGEFIELD
ADVERTISERS, dating as far
back as 1843, with Mr. W.
F. Durisoe, proprietor. The
subscription price was: "$3
per annum, if paid in advance
or $3.50, if not paid before
the expiration of six months
from date of subscription
and $4.00 if not paid within
twelve months. No subscrip
tion received for less than one
year, and no paper discontin
ued until all arrearages are
paid, except at the'option of
the publisher." The motto
reads : We will cling to the
Pillars of ^Temple of our
"X^?berties^'and if it must fall,
we. will Perish amidst the
Ruins." The motto of The
Columbia Hive in 1843 was :
" Where liberty dwells there
is my country." These pa
pers contain much valuable
and interesting information.
We will give a few items of
interest below. Look at the
prices :
Cheap Travelling ! On account
of the cheapness of cotton the sub
scriber has concluded to reduce
the price of traveling in his lines,
to tho following rates: From
Edgefield to Columbia, $4.00. All
students of Greenwood and Cokes
bury Institution, at 8 cents per1
mile, on the Aiken Line. From
Edgefield to Greenwood, $2 75.
Frcm Edgefield io Cokesbury, $3.
50. (Sigued) R. Ward. Dec. 21,
1843.
In this same issue is a no
tice of the post office, which
indicates that Uncle Sam had
determined to do a cash busi
ness in the future : "Notice :
All persons indebted to mc by
note, bill or otherwise, must
settle by the 25th of Febru
ary, 1843. Hereafter no cred
it will be given in the Post
Office, for Letters, Papers,
etc. As no respect to persons
will be paid, none need ap
ply. M. Frazer, P. M."
In another column propos
als for carrying the mails are
asked for, and the first named
on the list is : "From Colum
bia by Camden, Tiller's Fer
ry to Cheraw, 92 miles, and
back, six times a week in two
horse coaches." Seven min
utes was allowed for opening
and closing the mails.
Cotton quoted in Columbia
at 5 to cents.
At the head .of the editorial
column are the names : "John
C. Calhoun, for President;
Colonel Whitfield Brooks, for
Congress,
In an issue of the same pa
per under date of Jan. 15,'63,
is a notice of the Edgefield
Female Institue, that "Miss
Lucy Gwaltney will resume
her place in the Preparatory
Department on Jan. ist. No
other change of Teachers is
contemplated. (Signed) L.
R Gwaltney."
Another advertisement in
this issue reads: "Prepare to
Dye. I have 500 pound of the
best copperas which will be
sold on reasonable terms. J.
A, Gurley."
In this issue is an advertise
ment of the Southern Chris
tian Advocate, when it was is
sued at Augusta, Ga., with
E. E. Myers, editor.

to have good roads without the

legislature bas set the limitations
beyond which we may not go. We,
want to send two good-gooch

that all citizens will search

It is a vital one. They w
be for "good roads," but tl
not the point-il is evasive,
question is, "What is your pl
get them?" The answer si
be frank, full aud satisfactor
we want anything done to hel
road situation, no demag
shouldj be tolerated ; no dc
no waiting to see how thing
pear to be going. This h
sincerity, and nothing can b
pected from such "good rc
men offering for office.
Tnose wbo hate been tried
have failed to advocate the
methods should not be given a ci
again. Ko promise or excuse si
be taken, certainly once ii enouj
find out tow a man stands on
subject.
I am not after office; have no d
or ambition for it, and my only d
is to help to do something to dev
our county; to improve the val
ray own land that of my relatives
friends and the people at larg
this state and to make it pos
to patronize our lumber, grist
flour mills. I know that good r
will do moie for the people of
county than anything else,and tha
useless to expect, prosperity or to
lands go to their real value while
have such transportation f?cil t

is now about 20 per cent, of the 1
of production, when it should no
more than 5 to 7 per cent. We sp
money for gr ano to increase proc
tion; let's reduce the cost of haul:
I am not after office, and I propos
do what I can to help in this mc
ment for good roads, aud to sp
plainly, calling-a spade a spade.
We want good men and braye z
in county commissioners and ref
sentative?, who will do what ti
think is for the best interests of
people of the county,"eveu if it is n
essary for them to advocate a sli,
Ulerease in taxes. A public officia
Edgefield county said to me the ot.
day : "It is the history of road i
prowement that the j ublic men whe
the start advocate taxes for road i
pravement are left at home by 1
voters, though later be may be vin
cated." My reply to this was, "If il
necessary for a public official to sui
some sacrifice for advocating what
thinks is righi and for the intere
of hid people, he should do it; that
what he is ia office for." He is c
tainly not there just to hold offi
This gentleman has stated that ho
opposed to much taxation for ro
improvement, then I hope he is not i
fiuenced by any such reason as tl
given above.
It is to be hoped ;hat all in Edp
field county who may want office w
be willing to advocate the rigl t thin
even before it is popular, if they ha
to stay at hon e; or agree that win
the right principles become popul
they will then step out. .
What the advocates of good rom
now want ia all tho help they ?
get, and they want it now. 1 do n
think they will have any patient
with public officials who are coi
trolled by "policy." If they are oj
po9ed to the means of providing
better system, let them say so, an
then stick to it.
Let us now begin Jto line up, and w
shall bring a better day, practical!
