Flour has already, advanced and who knows " but wha shrewd speculation will carr the price sky high. Now ? the tim? for farmers to protea themselves by sowing a larg< acreage of wheat. The daily papers are tilled with railroad casualties , ar ci the county papers are report ing many an "hot supper*5 casualty. The colored gentry usually have a warm time ol it at their hot ( ?) suppers. Cotton seed are all being sold and guano lias made a considerable advance. What are you going to do about fer tilizing next year's 'crop? Would it not be wise to make a fertilizer factory at home out of the horse and cow lot ? The Georgia Daughters of the Confederacy have inau gurated a movement to pro vide a home for ex-slaves, those who proved their fidelity ^^by remaining at home protect ; rHg and laboring for the south ern women and children dur ing the entire four years of the civil war. We notice that l^on". Thos. E. Watson, one of Georgia's celebrities, is booked for a scries of lectures by a south ern lyceum. Edgefield should make a dace for this attrac tion. If it were noised abroad that Mr. Watson would lec ture in our opera house, peo . pie would flock hither, as pilgrims to a shrine, from many miles distant. A few days ago a colony of newnes arrived in New York . from Liberiar They went from the southern states to .^p^|mt^^ ^ returned home penniless. It Bas been repeatedly demon strated that negroes and cot-> ton thrive nowhere else on this mundane sphere like they do in thc sunny south. There is much speculation among the leading cotton men of the country as to the num ber of bales of cotton that have been made this year. The seventy-two members of the Augusta Cotton Exchange made their annual estimate on Thursday last, the lowest Se ing 9,950,000 and the highest 11,250,000, which makes an average of 10,714,842. This is a rather high estimate. The cr?p is apparently far below that of last year when 10,758,326 bales were made. Don't groan your way through Ufe. Most people have troubles of their own without having to listen to reci tal of yours. Be pleasant, and if you can, jolly. Some of the best preachers we have ever seen were as jolly as clowns and?enjoyed life a sight bettet than their solemn visaged parishioners, and made other people feel ^ood. We can't have everything made to order and should not worry con stantly even if our trousers dc bag at the knees. We should comfort ourselves with thc thought that we may get a fil next time.--Ex._ Ualesssom? of the indis posed circuit judges arc soor restored tc their accustomed state of health, or unless thc demand for special terms ol court decreases, very s?or nearly every member of thc legal fraternity in the statt will be ar. ex-judge. Besides numbers of other:; in the pas three laymen of the profes sion, all of marked ability have, or will soon, don th< ermine by special commis sion : Hon. H. J. Hayns worth, of Greenville, is hold ing court in Newberry ; H0.1 F: B. Gary, of Abbeville, wil preside at another special "ern at Lexington on the 16th inst and Hon. Joseph H. McCul lough will preside at Edge field, beginning on Monda; next. It is time some membe of the Edgefield bar was be ing honored with an appoint ment-as special judge. Som of our attorneys are as well ve sed and learned in the lav as the members of any bar i the- state. p MAKE A X EXAMPLE OJ _ um. R - - , In the sessions of Court'a Barnwell ori Wednesday las ;y Judge, Purdy instructed th< * sheriff to arrest Willis Wood who is said to be an intelli ^ gent white man, upon the it charge of perjury. The cir? ^ cumstances of the case anc ih the verdict of the jury strong? A ly indicated that this witness ii had lied upon the stand, |; Judge Purdy has only done is what other circuit judge.' should do under similar- cir cumstances. A few such in _ dictments ovej the state, fol lowed by suitable punishment, would have a wholesome ef . feet, purifying to some extent t the courts. If a man-espe 7 dally an intelligent white man s j-?-does not regard the sacred 11 ness of an oath, and is so lost ' to honor and principle as to perjure himself, -he should be [ placed behind the bars instead I of being allowed the liberty . that is vouchsafed to every 1 law abiding citizen. We . would say to the other circuit ' judges : "Do thou likewise." Will Improve the Mail Service. The United States postal authorities are making a spe cial effort to improve the star route mail service throughout the country. Heretofore con tracts have been let to con tain non-resident contractors who in turn would sub-let them to the lowest bidder. By this means the prices paid for the service on some routes in our county have been so low as to barely pay the ac tual expenses of carrying the m??ils, leaving no pro lit for the one doing the work. The ori ginal contractors would, of I course, make money out of th cm. Henceforth the con tracts will be given^rectly to the carrier, cutting out the middle men entirely. The government, in order to se cure satisfactory service, is willing to pay more than is now being received by some of the carriers. It should be distinct" ly' understood that the amounts now pajd on some of I the routes, are not the maxi mum amounts, and those who desire contracts should make their bids accordingly. For fuller information and a com J^tejist^ of_^h er ou tes^s ee_ Q u r^ Legislature Should Amend the Law. The very strong petition to the state board that was sign ed by all except nine />f the citizens of the town of Saluda, by all of the county officials a:.d by a large number from the comltry districts, asking that the dispensary at that place be removed, was pre sented on Wednesday last by Dr. j. M. Pitts, intendant, Senator B. W. Forrest, D.B. Pcurifoy, a member of thc House and B. W. Crouch, a prominent member of th*; bar and president of the newly! organized bank. This earnest appeal, the granting of which would have caused a heavy sacrifice by the petitioners, for the revenue from the dis pensary defrays all expense of the? municipal government, was refused on the ground that there is no provision under the law for the removal of a dispensary. While the local.dispensary has been of great benefit to some towns that i's, where it supplanted several bar-rooms-yet other towns haye suffered greatly because of thc establishment of dispensaries. Ever y reasonable minded man will concede that the people ot a community should have the right to remove a dispensary when it is known to be against the best interests of the com munity.

What a grand and glorious time everybody wouk have if only there were no bar rooms. Last week in the crowd at the circus, a man yelled, "Oh ! my corn." The woman, who had trod on his foot, re toi ted; '-you had better say oh my Ilye !" The distressed loo ; on the face of a woman, as she ever and arion bent and whispered to a man who kept his head bowed on the next seat in the car told its own sad'tale. We heard a woman say-''the first installment of my company has come, and he is as drunk as a fool." Intemperance in America is a dis giace to progressive humanity. All honor to Saluda's brave men and women who are working-J'or temper ance, and God grant they may be suc cessful in banishing the dispensiry.

Pork is toe rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared fcr easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that.
