WEDNESDAY. JUNE 17, 1903.
UNEASY lie the heads
that wear the crowns
throughout Europe, since the
brutal murder on last Thurs
day of the king and queen of I
Servia.
GREENVILLE County
alone lost $20,000 in
bridges as a result of the Pied
mont flood. If Greenville lost
this sum what would be
Edgefield's loss should such
a rain fall up her hundreds of |
creeks, rivulets and rills?
THE merciless floods
swept away not only the
superstructure but the foun
dation stones of some of the
Pacolet and Clifton mills, but
could not shake the confl
uence of the stockholders in
Presidents Montgomery and
Twitchell, who have been in
structed to rebuild the mills
with all possible dispatch.
SPECULATION is rife
as to what disposition
will be made of the applica
tion for a change of venue in
the Tillman murder case. Few
are they who believe that the
defendant would not receive
a fair and impartial trial be
fore a Richland jury. A carte
blanche acquittal may not be
had but justice would be ad
ministered. Justice does not
always mean an acquittal.
REPORTS from far-off!
China state that the
anti-foot-binding society i s
liberating the distorted feet,
of many benighted Chinese
women. Would not an anti
waist-binding society liberate
the distorted persons of|
American women ? Alas,
we fear not. They are hope
lessly fettered by the gyves
of fashion.
Of the, two evilsj
the latter, we
>w, is.

JOHNSTON.
Happenings of Interest from Our
Neighboring Town,
Seemingly apropos of Dothiog,
there came "a pang of selfishness"
in my last contribution. It should
have followed the elegant tea serv
ed by the "New Century club" to
themselves-while the ??next para
graph should have followed the al
lusion to the "Deestrick Skulc.
This latter entertainment took
place Thursday eveumg a:?d was
repeated Friday, being the most
laughable play of the season. Ed
itor Terrell was a success as the
old-time pedagog. Miss Mamie
Coleman, as "sister," and Mr.John
Wright, a s "buddy," brought
down the ^house. The latter's
costume, knee pants, white stock
ings, a loug checked hom?spun ap
ron to keep his clothes clean, and
a bran new pair of shoe?, was uni
que in the oxtreme. The water
drinking boy, the crying girl, the
sorry girl, the giggling girl, in fact
all the parts were well enacted, and
laughter was the order of the ev
ening.
Mrs. James A. Richardson, Mrs.
J. G. Strother and Master Stanton
Lott, after a week's stay in Atlan
ta and Augusta, are welcomed
home.
Miss Mamie Leland, of Charles
ton, after a week's visit to rela
tives here will spend some time in
Ridge Spring before returning
home.
Quite a number of our town folks
attended the marrriage of Miss
Lena Smith to Mr. Wiley Ouzts,
which took place at Harmony
church on Wednesday last.
The marriage of Miss Palm
Reames to Mr. Charles Bailey took
place at the residence of Mr. L. B.
Asbill on Wednesday evening, the
bride and.groom leaving-on the 2
o'clock morniDg train the next
day for an extended trip north.
Tho pretty cottage home wt sb ?ai?
tifully decorated, the supper ele
gant and the guests declare a pret
tier wedding, a handsomer bride, a
happier groom, or more enjoyable
occasi m would be hard to find.
Many good wish* s follow.
Miss Arnold will leave Satur
day for Allendale. A dining iu
her honor was giveu at the home
of Mr. P. N. Lott, and a tea fol
lowed at the home of Mr. W, J.
Hatcher.
On Friday afternoon at the large
and beautiful home of Mr. C. F.
Strother the Daughters of tho Con
federacy gave a mo6t elegant re
ception in honor ofMiss A. S. Ar
uold, a former vice-president, and
the New Century club. |Delightful
I refreshments were served, while
the decorations were exquisitely
lovely. The colors of the organi
zation prevailed, being white an(
red. Every one had a nice time,
aud the unanimous decision was
that it waB a most delightful oc
casion.
Parlor games for prizes bav<
been declared by Williamston Co.
Ell., grand jury to be gambling]
within the law, aud citizens urged
to prosecute if they arcoon ti nued.
More, than $100 has been raised
by our citizens, and a box of cloth
ing is being collected for the flood
stricken sufferers.

Au Election Ordered.
According (o appointment the
county executive committee met
in the court house on Saturday
morning last for tho purpose of
selecting a man to be recommend
ed to thu governor for appointment
to the supervisorship of Edgefield
couuty. Chairman Thomas. H.
Rainsford, Secretary N. G. Evans,
and a representative from each of
the 21 clubs were in attendance.
A goodly number of citizens al
so gathered lo witness the doings
of the committee. After the com
mittee was df. dared ready for bus
iness the secretary read applica
tions from the following gentle
men : R. A. Cochran, J, M. Mays,
H. S. Quarles, D. P. Self, Sum
Cheatham, J. R. Strother, VV. E.
Sheppard, J. M. Bell, Jr., R. H
Parksand J. A. Hamilton. Mr
W. E. Sheppard, who was a mern
ber of the committee aud an ap- ?[Mess yon.
plicant requested that Mr. W. B.
Quarles be allowed to 6erve iii hi?
stead on the committee, which
was granted.
Capt. John R. Blocker, in well
chosen language,p&iuted out where
in the committee had erred in
withholding the selection of a
supervisor from the people, stat
ing that the action of the commit
tee in arrogating this right to it
self was without precedent and
contrary to the principles of the
Democratic party. In concluding
this strong plea for government by
the people iustoiul of by com
mittees, Capt. Blocker ol?tred a
resolution to the effect that the
former action of Ihe committee,
piovidiug lor an election by the
committee, be rescinded a?d that
a primary election be ordered to
be held on Tuesday, 23rd instant.
This was carried and the primary
was ordered. An effort was then
made to refer the matter of choos
ing a supervisor to the delegation,
but this motion was lost.
The members of the committee
then handed in the names of the
managers for their respective c'ubs,
a complete list of which we pub
lish elsewhere. The candidates
will not bo assessed as heretofore.
Each will pay for his tickets in
stead of the committee.
It was very gratifying to all
present that, while there was a dif
ference of opinion aa to the wis
dom of holding a primary, tl ere
was not a ripple of discord to mar
the harmony of the meeting. All's
well that ends well, and this is
well for it ended in a people's ric
tory-Democratic victory.
Feels Very Thankful.
To thc. many friends who were so
kind *:o me during my dear hus
band's last illness, I take this op
portunity toexpres9 my heart-felt
ratitudd to my friends and neigh
bors lor the assistance and sympa
by j tendered nie in my hour of
rial.
To each and all, please allow nie
to say, I thank you, and may God
